Inspired by his life in rural Wisconsin, Charles Munch’s paintings continue to be meditations on the complex relationship between humans, animals, and nature. Munch uses bold, graphic lines and careful compositions to evoke questions and suggest possible solutions. These deceptively simple landscapes envision a world where nature’s balance is restored. Opening Reception: Gallery Night Oct.21 from 5 – 9 p.m. Artist's Reception: Saturday, October 22 from 1-3pm. Informal talk 2 p.m. Exhibition Dates: October 21 – November 26

This event is part of the Wisconsin Science Festival. Where do ideas come from? Are they always there, waiting to be discovered, or does our brain manufacture them? Find out in this installment of SoundWaves. The program presents a common thread in short talks from UW-Milwaukee faculty members in philosophy, architecture and history; a UW–Madison music faculty member; and a jazz pianist. SoundWaves is a series from UW–Madison that combines talks about science, geared to the layman, with music performances.
