Working Legacies:
The Death and (After) Life of Post-Industrial Milwaukee
Photos and histories by David Schalliol and Michael Carriere
Gallery Night Event
January 20, 2012 from 5 - 9 p.m.
This exhibition uses the contemporary moment to explore the legacy of work in Milwaukee through documentary photographs and site histories of former and current industrial facilities in the city, keeping a keen eye on their present use and local context. The result is a document of Milwaukee’s industrial past and present – and the hopeful groundwork for its future. From the manufacturing of wind turbines to tech-savvy urban farms, the demise of a working Milwaukee has been greatly exaggerated.

H.D. Tylle: Touring Germany and Working in Wisconsin
Gallery Night Event
April 20, 2012 from 5 - 9 p.m.
German artist Hans Dieter Tylle has spent more than 30 years painting industry, working on location in steel mills, salt mines, foundries, manufacturing facilities and others, creating paintings of industry in both the United States and Europe. As one of the world’s premiere industrial painters, Tylle does not simply document industry. Rather, he celebrates industrial achievement, examines the relationship between man and machine, and pays homage to the businessperson’s entrepreneurial spirit. After working in the United States from 2000-09 (during which he created works for MSOE and the Grohmann Museum), Tylle returned to Germany for a focused two year project, Touring Germany, during which he painted for companies like BASF, BMW, and Merck. This exhibition brings together these recent works with those done previously for local industries such as Charter Manufacturing, Kondex Corp., Pieper Power, and Michels Corp.
