Ramon Lopez Andres from Barcelona, Spain, created a series of small oil paintings on wood panels, depicting landscapes observed during his farm stay.

 

The lush green fields of Wisconsin are a marked contrast to the Mediterranean climate of Catalonia. Ramon’s paintings reflect the fresh perspective on what are common sights to area residents.

 
Margaret Coleman of Minneapolis is a student at U of MN. During her month-long residency she created a large body of ceramic work featuring hand-thrown pottery as well as delicate slip cast abstract sculptural forms derived from living plants.

Brooklyn Bridge, 2003

Brooklyn Bridge was an exhibit of artwork created in 2003 by Resident Artists Kathy Koller and Kevin Daniel from New York City. The show consisted of painting, sculpture and mixed media work created both there and at the farm.

 

Koller’s work is from “Strength” a series of small 2D works in acrylic paint and livestock crayons. She also created a number of “crop circles” on the farm. Daniel’s contribution was several large assemblage sculptures created on the farm from found objects as well as a number of tiny, sealed vials containing “relics” collected from the streets of NYC.

Shur iz Differn't?

This exhibit in downtown Reedsburg featured mid- western artists and former Wormfarm visiting artists, and included painting, sculpture, drawings, mixed media, video and music. Exhibiting artists included Bruce Tapola and Melba Price of St. Paul, Minneapolis, Phillip Kalinowski of Chicago, and the Wormfarm's resident sculptor Jay Salinas.

The Wormfarm Institute sponsors art exhibits like this to introduce the community to new artists and art forms as well as to provide local artists a way to exhibit their work to the public. Look for other Wormfarm gallery events coming soon!
