This exhibition will shatter any preconceptions you might have had about glass and will make you think about glass in a new, fresh light while marveling at what masters of their medium can do. Antifragile will demonstrate that the studio glass movement is alive and well in Wisconsin and that the selected artists, many of whom have national and international reputations, are producing work with remarkable confidence, originality and panache.

Reginald Baylor (Milwaukee)

Fresh, colorful, and complex could be three words used to describe the paintings that have secured Reginald Baylor a place as one of the most original and recognizable artists working in Wisconsin today. Even so, this Milwaukee-born artist is always looking forward, expanding his horizons beyond acrylic on canvas to woodcuts, fabric, coloring books and digital media, revealing that while his style may be instantly recognizable, he does not wish to be constrained by any single medium.

MOWA’s State Gallery showcases work by members of Wisconsin’s numerous art organizations. The first selection is the Wisconsin Regional Artists Association (WRAA) which was founded in 1954 to encourage non-professional artists who had participated regularly in the innovative Rural Art Shows of the 1940s held at the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Memorial Union. Under the leadership of John Steuart Curry, James Schwalbach and Aaron Bohrod, the Rural Art Program flourished in the 1940s and beyond, with strong participation by Wisconsin’s non-professional artists, not only from rural areas but also from cities and suburbs.
