Gallery Exhibitions
Soft Structures
April 12 - June 1, 2024
Opening Reception Friday April 12th, 6-9pm
At the center of a community there are flexible, resilient bones - a scaffolding of warp and weft, stories are woven through repetition and intuition. This group exhibition explores the edges of fiber art within the Milwaukee area.
Illustrations of ancestry, mourning and a world we long for, whose potential is blessed by every stitch, is longed into being. We share the preciousness and disposability of heirloom objects. We experience, grieve and heal the ubiquity of invisible labor with beauty, care, and solidarity.
Soft Structures celebrates textile traditions, while making-into their evolving role in our shared futures.
Artists: Rosy Petri, Okja Kwon, Ella Clemons, Grace Rother, Melissa Dorn, Sarah Eichhorn, Jennifer Bastian, Jaymee Harvey Willms, and Thomas Colton Romero.
Erotic City
Opening February 9th
Lonesome Bill Walker's solo exhibition Erotic City at Tooth + Nail unveils the artist's new collection of sculptures, paintings, and toys. Walker's work addresses the themes of liberation through anti-censorship, fostering community through creativity, and embracing sex and pleasure as integral facets of life. The pieces reflect on city living- packed yet isolating- inviting viewers to explore the joy of connection and the transformative power of pleasure as a direct challenge to oppression.
The show opens Friday February 9th from 6-9pm. Workshops, lectures, and classes will be offered throughout February and March by Lonesome Bill Walker in collaboration with studio curator Janelle Gramling to further expand on Erotic City's themes. Check the calendar for more details.
