Satellites
Jonas Bendisken

This exhibit showcases photographs from Jonas Bendiksen's seven years of travel around many of the lesser-known regions of the former Soviet Union, including Transdniester, Abkhazia, and spaceship crash zones on the Kazakh steppes. by bringingg Jonas Bendiksen and his Satellites exhibit to campus we hope to illuminate areas that are largely ignored by the Western press.

Additional support is provided by the Anonymous Fund of the College of Letters & Science, the UW-Madison central Asian Student Association, and the Russian Student Association.

CLASS OF 1925 GALLERY
Egress Immerse
Joe Meiser

Engaging both popular and idiosyncratic self-generated narratives, this sculptural exhibition endeavors to question notions of belief and examine its effects and potential consequences.

LAKEFRONT ON LANGDON GALLERY
Assorted Recollection
Tyanna Buie

Childhood memorie and family dynamics act as the catalyst for Buie's work. Through the use of layering and textures, Buie creates a visual dialogue, allowing the viewer to understand as well as create their own visual narration, in works that are both ambiguous and complex.

THEATER GALLERY
The Americana Indian: American Indians in the American Imagination
Curated by: Brian Baker

Composed of seven major themes, this exhibition seeks to highlight the powerful cultural and political characteristics of the Americana Indian that pervade and buttress the colective identity of the nation. The installation aims to demonstrate the profileration of conventional representations in popular culture and commerce, while questioning how the images work to convey a limited set of messages about Native peoples.

This exhibition is presented by the WUD Art Committee in cooperation with the American Indian Studies Program, the Department of Art History, American Indian Curriculum Services (School of Education) and Student Diversity Programs (School of Education)
