Whiteboard Poems @ NFPL Install Documentation /
We had a great discussion @ NFPL with panelists, Lisa Sutcliffe (Curator of Photography and Media Arts, Milwaukee Art Museum), Joe Austin (Associate Professor of Modern Studies & Urban History, University Wisconsin Milwaukee), and myself. The September 7th event was moderated by Nicholas Frank. Below are a few details of the work along with install shots that include Evan Gruzis' Public Paintings and Cody Tumblin, featured artist in Katy Cowan's ongoing programming for The Outlet. There is still time to see the show.

Evan Gruzis's participatory Public Paintings continue.
The NFPL's inaugural theme Inscription is expanded by welcoming Druecke's whiteboard works to the dialogue. While Gruzis’s work addresses literal inscription, Druecke's 'poems' are colorful marker drawings that chart versions of public inscription that occur over millennia, from indigenous earthworks to state-sanctioned plaques to names scrawled in wet concrete. Through his own idiosyncratic lens, and using the flattening mechanism of standard office whiteboards, Druecke considers such phenomena as an accumulated cultural inheritance. The Whiteboard Poems acknowledge our cultural patrimony as deserving of recognition, whether motivations to preserve and maintain are overtaken by forgetfulness, revisionism, development or necessity.
The Nicholas Frank Public Library is located within The Open, which is at 832 E. Chambers St., Milwaukee, WI 53212.

The second performance of Time Is What Everyone Is Doing took place as part of Document V @ The Luminary in St. Louis. Great exhibition celebrating the five-year anniversary of Temporary Art Review. Thank you James McAnally and Sarrita Hunn. You made it look neat and orderly compared with the first iteration at Useable.

LocuStLed displays messages from a curated selection of individuals via a vintage-style LED sign in the window of the Woodland Pattern Book Center in Milwaukee Wisconsin. The LED's contents will loop twenty-four hours a day, presenting a non-stop collage to the working-class neighborhood of Riverwest and the people passing through it. The project pays homage to Jenny Holzer's pioneering work with information systems.
