John Michael Kohler Arts Center - Arts/Industry Program
John Michael Kohler Arts Center - Arts/Industry Program
About:
Hundreds of artists have benefited from the celebrated Arts/Industry residency program since its beginning in 1974. The program, undoubtedly one of the most unusual ongoing collaborations between art and industry in the United States, was conceived and is administered by the John Michael Kohler Arts Center and hosted by Kohler Co.
Arts/Industry offers artists the time and space to focus on the creation of new work and a unique location for their studios. Artists-in-residence work at the Kohler Co. factory in the Pottery and/or Foundry. Artists need not have experience with clay or metal, just an interest in materials and the potential for the industrial environment and processes to influence their creative practice. Participants are exposed to a body of technical knowledge that enables and encourages them to explore new ways of thinking and working.

How to Move a Mountain: the Documentation and Display of Displaced Art Environments
Since the 1970s the John Michael Kohler Arts Center (JMKAC) has been involved in the preservation, scholarly examination, and exhibition of work by vernacular artists, and has worked closely with Kohler Foundation, Inc. (KFI) and on occasion, Preservation Services, Inc. (PSI), to preserve a range of remarkable environments and collections. Along with many extensive projects that have preserved art environments in situ, when environments could be retained on their original sites, some environments could not be preserved where they were built, due to a range of ultimately insurmountable circumstances. Preserving the components of such environments has entailed in-depth documentation by preservation professionals prior to moving components or entire sites, and exploring a range of solutions for conveying the power of displaced and relocated works in ensuing installations, whether in permanent settings, or museum exhibitions. The Arts Center now cares for 26 large bodies of inter-related objects from dismantled art-environments.
Reflecting our collective conviction that the components of art environments are integrally related and express overall meaning in profound ways––that isolated components do not––we propose a session in which we will discuss the critical questions that the disconnection of environmental works from their original locations poses to preservationists. Karen Patterson and Lisa Stone will explore these questions in relation to current preservation theories and the realities of preservation practice. The challenges of moving an entire site to a new landscape permanently, and the curation, exhibition, and interpretation of dismantled components of environments, are current exigencies of the field of preserving vernacular art environments. In this presentation, the relationships between preservation professionals and museum curators will be examined in four case studies: Loy Bowlin’s Holy Jewel Home (McComb, MS), Emery Blagdon’s Healing Machine (Callaway, NB), Dr. Charles Smith’s African American Heritage Museum and Black Veteran’s Archive (Aurora, IL) and the current, major challenge of documenting and relocating Mary Nohl’s sculptural environment, built in Fox Point, WI. The circumstances that led to the decision to relocate this environment followed a 26-year attempt to preserve it in situ. The project to document, comprehend, and eventually move Nohl’s entire home, studio, and sculptural environment, from Milwaukee County to Sheboygan County (both in Wisconsin) is currently being explored by JMKAC and PSI staff, architects, and preservationists. This presentation will be an opportunity to examine the at-times thorny issues of how vernacular environments––as original artistic expressions––are either embraced or vehemently opposed by neighborhoods and communities, and to share details of the complex and currently unfolding Nohl project. Each case offers insights and lessons in the realms of documentation, material analysis, stabilization, conservation, exhibition, interpretation, and storage. Moreover, the presentation will focus on how these preservation lessons have informed curatorial practices and exhibition design at the John Michael Kohler Arts Center. Patterson and Stone are committed to the preservation of environments in situ; as curators and preservationists they have both encountered, and continue to encounter situations in which environments will be destroyed if they’re not moved. Together they will discuss the challenges of moving mountains: how to best capture and convey the essence of an artist’s environment through its components, either through re-creation or evocation, when the original context of its place had to be left behind.

Next Avenue Community Conversations: Finding A Deeper Meaning In Your Life | 1/31/2018
Join us for an enlightening conversation with UWM Theatre Professor, and Founder and CEO of TimeSlips Creative Storytelling, Anne Basting.
Anne Basting, UWM Theatre Professor, and Founder and CEO of TimeSlips Creative Storytelling, has dedicated her life to improving the lives of older adults through the arts, with a special focus on bringing meaningful engagement to people with memory loss. Basting teaches care partners to connect with loved ones by shifting from the expectation of memory to the freedom of the imagination. Because the baby boomer generation is increasing the population of individuals in the 50 plus group this is a perfect time to make people aware of this initiative and how individuals can use creativity to assist elders in their own lives.
Milwaukee PBS’ Next Avenue Community Conversations presents a conversation with Anne Basting at the John Michael Kohler Arts Center in Sheboygan.
