Chazen Museum of Art: Back in the World: Portraits of Wisconsin Vietnam Veterans Nearly 30 large-format color portrait photographs will be on view at the Chazen Museum of Art in the exhibition Back in the World:
Portraits of Wisconsin Vietnam Veterans. As part of its Wisconsin Stories project, Wisconsin Public Television has produced
documentaries about Wisconsin veterans' experiences in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. During production of the Vietnam project
(to air in 2010), photographer James Gill took portraits of the veterans who participated in the documentary as a tribute to their service.
These photographs provide insight into the veterans' memories and experiences, which they carry long after the war ends. The scale
and presence of the images, combined with brief excerpts of interviews with their subjects, place them in a long tradition of art that
delivers a powerful social message. Nicola López: Urban Transformations From October 17, 2009 through January 3, 2010, the Chazen will exhibit
the twisting, jumbled topography of artist Nicola López. One
might be tempted to call her a landscape artist, but not in any traditional
understanding of the words. The works in Nicola López: Urban
Transformations are not pastoral rural scenes but unpredictable urban
worlds built with the imagery of debris from our manufactured, technological
world. Overture Galleries Madison area Open Art Studios Cycle Fall Exhibits, OCT 23, 2009 JAN 03, 2010: Gallery I, The Known and the Unknown, Miriam Hall & Justin

By bringing Jonas Bendiksen and his Satellites exhibit to campus we hope to illuminate areas that are largely unknown in the West.
Satellites is presented by the WUD Art Committee with CREECA (Center for Russia, East Europe, and Central Asia). Additional support is provided by the Anonymous Fund of the College of Letters & Science, the UW-Madison Central Asian Student Association and the Russian Student Organization. This exhibition is organized by Magnum Photos.

LAKEFRONT ON LANGDON GALLERY Assorted Recollection Childhood memories and family dynamics are the catalysts for Buies work. Using layering and textures, Buie creates a visual dialogue, allowing viewers to understand as well as create their own visual narration, in works that are both ambiguous and complex.
Madison Museum of Contemporary Art: The Art League of the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art has joined forces with Overture Center for the Arts to present a greatly expanded Holiday Art Fair on November 20, 21, and 22, 2009. This long-time Madison tradition, which features art and gourmet vendors, seasonal decorations, entertainment, and a sale of "rediscovered treasures" against a backdrop of stunning contemporary architecture, provides a perfect holiday shopping opportunity for Madison and surrounding communities. Holiday Art Fair 2009 will include nearly 100 vendors--more than twice as many as in recent years--in spaces within both the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art (227 State Street) and Overture Center for the Arts (201 State Street). The fair will take place on Friday, November 20 (noon-6 pm); Saturday, November 21 (10 am-5 pm); and Sunday, November 22 (10 am-3 pm). George Segal: Street Scenes Cage and Cunningham: Chance, Time, and Concept
in the Visual Arts pays homage to the visual legacy inspired by the
life and work of composer, poet, and artist John Cage (1912-1992) and
dancer and choreographer Merce Cunningham (1919-2009). The exhibition
pays tribute to Cage and Cunningham's fifty-year collaboration through
works from the permanent collection of the Madison Museum of Contemporary
Art, as well as seminal works from collections in the region. Details about these events and more can be found at the MMoCA web site: Madison Museum of Contemporary Art The Milwaukee Art Museum Presents: Andy Warhol: The Last Decade, Opens at the Milwaukee
