The Decorative Impulse
February 17 - May 20, 2012
The Decorative Impulse brings together six international metalsmiths whose work actively engages with the decorative arts to pose provocative questions about the place of the decorative in current art dialogs. The artists, Jamie Bennett, Gesine Hackenberg, Rory Hooper, Anya Kivarkis, Amelia Toelke and Jonathan Wahl draw from a range of cultural and historic sources such as Victorian Jewelry, Old Master paintings, export porcelain, mass produced jewelr and botanical prints. Their work brings the often marginalized category of the decorative arts to the fore, as both a strategy and an aesthetic choice.
The Decorative Impulse is a collaboration between the Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum and the UW-Milwauke Peck School of the Arts. The show is co-curated by Yevgeniya Kaganovich, Head of Jewelry and Metalsmithing at the Peck School of the Arts
