Moyra Davey, a Canadian photographer, video artist, and essayist, is an artist that is easy to overlook in the Biennial. Drowned out at times by louder artworks, her photographs and videos are aesthetically understated and traditionally presented. She favors picture frames, grids, and symmetry in her installations over contemporary notions of alternative presentation. Davey prints her work in small, unassuming dimensions, and does not subscribe to working with digital photographs, favoring instead large format, analog cameras. She believes that “the accident has gone missing from contemporary art.” Self-described as a “flâneuse who never leaves her apartment,” Davey’s photographs depict interiors littered with dark shadows, ephemeral pieces of dust, and the personal artifacts that festoon her daily life. http://www.timesquotidian.com/2012/07/08/double-take-the-whitney-biennial-2012/

This is of interest as I would like to run a children's creative class within my own practice. A two hour session that caters for up to 36 children and their caregivers - who must attend too. I would only have a small session as I am the sole person running the session. My session would be based on assemblage and the found object but could add to future sessions.
Objects, nostalgia, play, creativity.

Creative Casts
Many of the sculptures in Thomas J Price’s exhibition were created through a casting process. This means the artist created a mould into which he poured a liquid material to create a sculpture. In this workshop, we will experiment with modelling clay and plaster to design and cast unique sculptural forms.http://www.thepowerplant.org/ProgramsEvents/Programs/Power-Kids/Creative-Casts.aspx

Delight, Inspire, Educate: The Allis Collection as Catalyst
May 12, 2019 – April 12, 2020
During 2019, we are presenting various aspects of the Allis art collection, from paintings and sculptures to decorative arts objects and print materials. In our Foyer Gallery, we consider the act of collecting today and how the objects we live with can inspire creative connections and passions in our lives. On our second floor, Sarah’s bedroom highlights collection selections that encourage observations, wonder, and examination. The North gallery offers an opportunity for visitors to propose both questions and answers about the house and collection. Alongside, the Milwaukee Women’s Art Library (MWAL), slated to open in 2020, will make its start in our South gallery. This year the library’s collection will accumulate as we gather materials from local non-binary and women artists whose stories may not otherwise be archived and preserved.
Exhibition runs Thursday, May 9 to Sunday, April 12, 2020

A collector of toys Lino Lugo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcZDE2VPFao
This museum was opened in 2006.
There are over 200,000 toys in the collection and tells the history
of Mexico through a unique visual narrative - this relates to my
project as visual narratives are one of the methods I use to present
a story.

Frida Kahlo Museum - http://www.museofridakahlo.org.mx/en/
The Blue House has probably become a largely commercialized and well marketed museum - the actual home of Frida Kahlo - her surrealist work is interesting as I use surrealist themes throughout my body of work. if I had a preference I would be inclined to enjoy and appreciate the work of Leonora Carrington who lived and worked most of her life in Mexico.
Popularly known as the Casa Azul (the ‘Blue House’), the Museo Frida Kahlo preserves the personal objects that reveal the private universe of Latin America’s most celebrated woman artist. The Blue House also contains some of the painter’s most important works: Long Live Life (1954), Frida and the Caesarian Operation (1931), and Portrait of My Father Wilhelm Kahlo (1952), among others.
The collections of objects is interesting as is Kahlo's style of work. The house has been turning into a museum.

Artist - Melquiades Herrera
Plastic report of a cultural
' Theorem' is a sample of the objects collected by Melquiades Herrera, pieces that are witnesses of a practice that covered art-action, the study of material culture, critical writing and experimental pedagogy. In the room six nuclei unfold around constant themes in its production: the sciences (optics, geometry and mathematics), nationalism and the city, Marcel Duchamp and surrealism, artistic education and its appropriation of the history of local art and international
This exercise starts from the Melquiades Herrera Fund of the Arkheia Documentation Center, which is composed of various documents, his personal library and a set of “objects” gathered by the artist from 1979 to 2003. It includes materials that are difficult to classify and conserve, such as candy and chewing gum still in its wraps, liquids trapped in some toy, manufactured artifacts, class programs, newspaper clippings, mental agility games and papers full of mathematical and poetic calculations, in addition to art books, magic, geometry, object theory , acting and erotic magazines, werewolves or comics of Fantomas and Batman.
Through this "system of objects", Herrera's production allows the fragmentary deployment of a "cultural theorem", armed with aesthetic inscriptions and artistic propositions. The "aesthetic inscriptions" overflow the field of art towards mathematics, physics, mass and popular culture, and so on. In the exercise of ordering their propositions according to the geometric order, we call it, in the words of Melquiades himself: "plastic report".
This artist has interesting work - collections, materials that are not easily classified. I like the way the objects are juxtaposed from each other - the central use of plastic and metephors the object relate to. Nothing has been re-make of altered - it is just the way he places the objects from his creations that is fascinating.

Pop Loves Death X Alvaro Sánchez
Pop loves death, death loves pop. There are aesthetics in hell and there are also joyful souls of fire. The dangerous path of the graphic that refers to a much more cinematic, idealized, romanticized and staged past, as in a small road movie where models, outcasts and death bet the soul in exchange for a bit of ecstasy . These landscapes smell of whiskey and rattle powder, and that each person puts the soundtrack they want, immersing themselves in the artificial paradises proposed by Sánchez, the wizard of the blades and the vivisections of metaphysical animals.
