May 22-August 15, 2010
The 2010 Wisconsin Triennial will be the twelfth statewide survey of contemporary art undertaken by the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art. Artists selected by MMoCA's curatorial staff will be represented by two- and three-dimensional works, as well as site-specific installations. A cornerstone of MMoCA's programming, the Triennial captures the zeitgeist of the time and functions as a harbinger of trends to come. The 2010 Wisconsin Triennial will employ new technologies and time-based media to focus on the artists and works in the exhibition, as well as the artistic communities of Wisconsin.
September 10–December 19, 2010
The Madison Museum of Contemporary Art will present the first major museum exhibition dedicated to the bold, colorful drawings, paintings, and sculptures of Rob and Christian Clayton. The Clayton Brothers work together closely to construct objects that are both narrative and deeply personal. Front and center are the unique people, animals, and places that occupy the outskirts of the American psyche. These works are created in an obsessively rich, cartoon-inspired manner and often incorporate related audio elements.
The 2010 Wisconsin Triennial will be on view in the museum's main and State Street galleries.
