Madsen’s practice is at the intersection of sculpture, prints, painting, ready-mades, and photography. Her vast collections of industrial matter -- spark plugs, machine parts, welding masks, light switches, rubber, plastic, prosthetics, artificial eyes, toys and much more – serve as the stimulus for the work. Her work is riddled with skeptical questions about society, civilization and collapse. Who is the Guardian and who is the Barbarian? Who enters the gate and who’s banned? She aims to lift the lid off canonical hierarchical art forms and queer space. Her work is an ever-evolving quest that picks out and unravels a new thread about greed and power to see how far she can push farcical realities from the primitive to the futuristic. Her explosive use of color is in the service of creating awkward, ridiculously sublime sculptures-works and installations that seem to infect, corrupt, and devour the universe. Yet, seeks joy and sustenance to find balance in an absurd world.</p><p>She has had solo exhitions theBlanc Gallery in NYC; Qi Fengge Musuem of Print History, Shenzen, China; MGalleries, NJ; New York Public Library, NYC; Scuola de Grafica, Venice, Italy; Sykes Gallery, PA; Lowry Lab Theater, MN; Palacky University, Czech Republic; Graphics Collective Gallery, Belgrade, Serbia; Recitation Gallery, DE; Pratt Studios Gallery, Brooklyn; Benedicta Art Center, MN; Sommers Gallery, MN; Minneapolis College of Art and Design, MN; and Tyler School of Art, PA, among others. Madsen has been included over 100 group exhibitions.</p><p>Madsen's works are in the collections of the Legion of Honor, San Francisco Museum of Art, Princeton University firestone Library, Swarthmore College, Lafayette CollgeLibrary of Congress, Dartmouth College, University of Sharijah: United Arab Emirates, Guanlan Print Museum, Shenzhen, China, New York Public Library, and the Amoco Corporation.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-lg-6 col-12"> </div> Wed, 10 Dec 2025 16:36:58 +0000 Kirsten Stoltz 1478 at /artandarthistory /artandarthistory/newsletter/newsletter/newsletter-december-2-2025 <span>Newsletter, December 2, 2025</span> <span><span>Kirsten Stoltz</span></span> <span><time datetime="2025-12-02T11:48:21-07:00" title="Tuesday, December 2, 2025 - 11:48">Tue, 12/02/2025 - 11:48</time> </span> Art &amp;amp; Art History News <div> <div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--newsletter-section paragraph--view-mode--default"> <h2> <div>Events this week!</div> </h2> <div class="row row-content"> <div class="col-lg-6 col-12 pb-4"> <div class="teaser-article-img px-2"> <img src="/artandarthistory/sites/default/files/styles/focal_image_square/public/2025-12/Coffee.jpg?h=a4c52c70&amp;itok=DDcZRpf2" alt="coffee"> </div> <h3> <div>Free coffee and tea in the VRC during last week of classes</div> </h3> <div class="article-summary" id="teaser-article-summary-user-text--0"> <p><span>Join us for coffee and tea in the VRC</span>&nbsp;(room 310)<span>&nbsp;during the last week of classes</span>. <span>10am - </span>4pm or when the coffee runs out­—whichever comes first<span>.

Sexuality, since colonial contact, has judgment, normalizing, and disciplining ideas attached to it, and no one wants to say the wrong thing, but taking the time to explore queer Indigenous sexual identities, and the associated vernacular (2SQI, Two-Spirit, 2Spirit, Indiqueer, Indequeer) illustrates the beauty of acceptance and decolonizing concepts of community and inclusion.</span></p><p><span>Dr. Chris Finley is a member of the Colville Confederated Tribes in what is now known as Eastern Washington.

These painters often deployed broad fields of color in hues that were based on visible observation, but sometimes not. What was the meaning of color to these artists? Was the application of pigment meaningful in the contests to territory that erupted after the Spanish invasion of the sixteenth century? Was it a form of ecological knowledge? In this talk, art historian Barbara Mundy explores the image-making traditions of Central Mexican Indigenous communities and their relationship to ecological knowledge and the possession of territory.</p><p>About the speaker: Barbara E. Mundy is the Donald and Martha Robertson Chair in Latin American Art History, Tulane University. Her scholarship dwells in zones of contact between Native peoples and settler colonists as they forged new visual cultures in the Americas. Mundy’s interest in the social construction of space and its imaginary bore fruit in her first book, <em>The Mapping of New Spain</em>. More recently, <em>The Death of Aztec Tenochtitlan, the Life of Mexico City</em> draws on Mexica texts and representations to counter a colonialist historiography, revealing the city’s nature as an Indigenous city through the sixteenth century. Her current research focuses on the production of books in the sixteenth century in New Spain, with particular emphasis on the books of Nahuatl speakers in the Basin of Mexico.</p></div> </div> </div> <div class="ucb-newsletter-section-article "> <div id="feature-article-media-img-1" class="feature-article-img"> <div> <div class="imageMediaStyle large_image_style"> <img loading="lazy" src="/artandarthistory/sites/default/files/styles/large_image_style/public/2025-08/MV5BM2I5NTYyOTAtZDliYy00ZGE4LTk3MGMtNTdmNTQ2YmU0NzQ4XkEyXkFqcGc%40._V1_.jpg?itok=qhek8w9s" width="1500" height="846" alt="David Valesco"> </div> </div> </div> <div id="feature-article-user-title-1"> <h3> <div>David Velasco: Visiting Artist &amp; Scholars Program</div> </h3> </div> <div class="article-summary" id="feature-article-summary-user-text-1"> <div><p><strong>Monday, November 10th at 4:00 PM</strong><br><strong>Visual Arts Complex auditorium, 1B20</strong></p><p><span>David Velasco is an American editor.

Edison’s films did for the eye what his phonograph did for the ear. He made 75, twenty-second-long films in his West Orange studio. His earliest films presented magic shows, plays, vaudeville shows with dancers and strongmen, cowboys, and boxing matches. The festival’s relationship to Thomas Edison’s invention of the motion picture camera and the kinetoscope and his experimentation with the short film is central to TEFF.</span></p><p><span>The festival is a socially conscious, modern, independent traveling showcase reaching out to diverse audiences with provocative, timely, edgy, and compelling new works by both accomplished and emerging filmmakers. The Thomas Edison Film Festival welcomes all genres including narrative, experimental, animation, documentary, screen dance and hybrids. We celebrate films which address the environment, race and class, immigration, the LGBTQ+ community, people with disabilities and issues of social justice. The films are artistic, and engaging works which simultaneously teach and entertain.</span></p> </div> </div> <div class="ucb-newsletter-section-article "> <div id="feature-article-media-img-1" class="feature-article-img"> <div> <div class="imageMediaStyle large_image_style"> <img loading="lazy" src="/artandarthistory/sites/default/files/styles/large_image_style/public/2025-10/Screenshot%202025-10-09%20at%203.50.19%E2%80%AFPM.png?itok=q0oeeuP6" width="1500" height="893" alt="symposium image"> </div> </div> </div> <div id="feature-article-user-title-1"> <h3> <div>the audacity of pleasure: race, aesthetics, and the politics of desire symposium</div> </h3> </div> <div class="article-summary" id="feature-article-summary-user-text-1"> <p><span><strong>Friday, October 24, 2025</strong></span></p><p><span><strong>������ý����</strong></span><br><span><strong>The Center for British and Irish Studies, Norlin Library</strong></span></p><p><span>On Friday, October 24, 2025, we will gather in the name of pleasure, joy, and desire.
