Mad Dash: 50 Years of Arts/Industry
March 3, 2024 @ 10:00 am - February 2, 2025 @ 5:00 pm
FreeJack Earl, one of the first Arts/Industry artists-in-residence, said the Arts/Industry residency in the Kohler Co. factory felt like a “mad dash at something.” Mad Dash: 50 Years of Arts/Industry is a chronological installation of artworks, letters, photographs, and promotional materials dating from 1974 to the present. It reveals the origin and history of Arts/Industry through the artists themselves.
Every artist donates an object made during their residency to the John Michael Kohler Arts Center’s collection. Mad Dash presents artworks from this collection to encapsulate the experience of art making within Kohler Co. and highlight various stages of the artists’ careers.
