UW-Waukesha Faculty Art Exhibition

The biennial faculty exhibition opens Tuesday, Nov. 1 in the University of Wisconsin-Waukesha’s fine arts gallery and runs through Friday, Dec. 16.

The faculty show features recent work from Stephanie Copoulos-Selle, Deb Generotzky, Jeff Noska and Barbara Reinhart. Their respective studio research in the form of paintings, artist’s books, photographs, sculpture and ceramics will be shown.

The exhibition, which can be viewed noon to 1 p.m. Monday and Wednesday, 9 to 11 a.m. Tuesday and Thursday and 11a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday, is free and open to the public. It will be closed Nov. 24 and 25 for the Thanksgiving holiday. UW-Waukesha is located at 1500 N. University Drive in Waukesha.

Copoulos-Selle works in three mediums: artist’s books, prints and paintings. “Each media possesses distinct potentials and together produce an environment that ‘cross pollinates,’ creating richer ideas and results,” she said. “We live in a world created from given realities. Those realities can be of our own making, or realities that are thrust upon us by circumstance.

“Our lives become narrower as we proceed along a context. We forget or are unaware that other realities exist and could be available to us.”

Generotzky has been photographing American Indian Pow Wow Dancers for more than 10 years.  These portraits have been made while the dancers are in motion and provide a contemporary document of an American Indian cultural tradition that spans more than 400 years.

Noska will exhibit a large-scale mixed media sculpture and a selection of his ceramic vessels included in this year’s Waterville wood kiln firing. Reinhart’s recent paintings explore aspects of non-verbal human interaction through gesture and spatial relationships. Also included in the exhibit are salt-fired ceramic objects created collaboratively by Noska and Reinhart.
