SUMMARY:This Side of the Stars: Rauschenberg’s Stoned Moon in the Company of Kite\, Paglen\, and Yi
DESCRIPTION:In the 100th year since the birth of pioneering artist Robert Rauschenberg (October 22\, 1925 – May 12\, 2008)\, this exhibition highlights a selection of the artist’s “Stoned Moon” prints from the Haggerty’s collection shown alongside the work of three active artists: Oglála Lakȟóta performance artist\, visual artist\, and composer Kite; artist\, geographer\, and author Trevor Paglen; and Milwaukee-based multimedia artist Jason S. Yi. Rauschenberg’s color lithographs spark a conversation about humanity’s technological ambitions across the modern era that is brought into our current moment through these artists’ recent work. Kite’s dyed deer hides embroidered with Lakȟóta geometric semiotics are meditations on black holes\, functioning also as sonic scores. Paglen’s sumptuous photographs capture unidentified flying objects both in and beyond Earth’s atmosphere\, raising questions about surveillance by human and non-human actors. Yi’s installation of Red-crowned cranes cast from mulberry pulp\, forms a towering column of the endangered birds that have found a resurgent nesting ground in the demilitarized zone separating North Korea and South Korea. \nFor his large-scale “Stoned Moon” lithographs\, Rauschenberg drew on his experience witnessing the Apollo 11 lunar launch\, melded with a range of popular imagery and NASA-provided photographs to reflect on a new sense of human possibility brought about by a leap in technological potential. The three contemporary artists featured in this exhibition consider the ethics of technological innovation and its varied outcomes by taking up current issues such as covert surveillance\, humans’ relationships with the non-human\, and the upspring of new life under repressive conditions. These artists prompt us to reconceive the dividing lines between what we know and what we believe\, between human and non-human agency\, and between our impact on nature and its response. \n“This Side of the Stars: Rauschenberg’s Stoned Moon in the Company of Kite\, Paglen\, and Yi” is curated by Jennifer Johung\, PhD\, Professor of Contemporary Art and Architecture\, and Director of the Center for 21st-Century Studies\, University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee\, and Kirk Nickel\, PhD\, Haggerty Museum Curator of European Art. \nSupport for this exhibition is generously provided by Friends of the Haggerty Museum of Art Forward Funders and the Martha and Ray Smith\, Jr. Endowment Fund. \nImage: Robert Rauschenberg\, “Trust Zone (Stoned Moon)”\, 1969\, Lithograph\, 40 x 33 inches\, Ed. 22/65\, published by Gemini G.E.L.\, Los Angeles\, Collection of the Haggerty Museum of Art\, Marquette University ©Robert Rauschenberg Foundation and Gemini G.E.L.

SUMMARY:Aesthetics\, Art\, & AI: Kite
DESCRIPTION:Exploring how AI-generated aesthetics reshape creative production\, authorship\, and interpretation. \nThe Haggerty Museum of Art is pleased to share information about this program organized by the Center for 21st Century Studies and the Center for the Humanities at UW-Madison featuring Kite (a.k.a. Suzanne Kite) whose work will be on view at the Haggerty from January 23 to May 16 in the exhibition This Side of the Stars. \nKite is an Oglála Lakȟóta artist\, composer\, and scholar. Her groundbreaking scholarship and practice investigate contemporary Lakota ontologies through research-creation\, computational media\, and performance\, often working in collaboration with family and community members. Kite develops body interfaces for machine learning driven performance\, sculptures generated by dreams\, and experimental sound and video work. Working with machine learning techniques since 2017 and developing body interfaces for performance since 2013\, Kite is a first American Indian artist to utilize Machine Learning in art practice. \nKite has been included in numerous publications such as Atlas of Anomalous AI\, Indigenous Futurisms\, Creative AI Database from Serpentine Gallery\, the American Indian Culture and Research Journal\, the Journal of Design and Science (MIT Press)\, with the award winning article\, “Making Kin with Machines”\, and the sculpture Ínyan Iyé (Telling Rock) (2019) was featured on the cover of Canadian Art. Kite was the Global Coordinator for the Indigenous Protocols and Artificial Intelligence Workshops supported by the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research\, resulting in the publication of the Indigenous Protocols and Artificial Intelligence Position Paper. \nHer artworks and performances have recently been featured at the 2024 Whitney Biennial; Haus der Kulturen der Welt\, Berlin; Center for Art\, Research and Alliances (CARA)\, New York; and the 2024 Shanghai Biennial; among other venues. Her awards and honors include a Ruth Award\, a 2023 United States Artist Fellowship\, a Creative Time open call commission (with Alisha Wormsley)\, and a Creative Capital grant. She is currently Director of Wihanble S’a Lab\, Distinguished Artist in Residence\, and Assistant Professor of American and Indigenous Studies at Bard College. Kite holds degrees from California Institute of the Arts\, Bard College\, and received her PhD from Concordia University. \nAbout Aesthetics\, Art\, & AI\nWith support from the Consortium for Humanities Centers and Institutes (CHCI)\, the Center for 21st Century Studies and the Center for the Humanities at UW-Madison present a collaborative series of public programming that focuses the relationship between AI and artistic practice\, exploring how AI-generated aesthetics reshape creative production\, authorship\, and interpretation. By engaging scholars\, artists\, and technologists\, we examine the ethical and aesthetic implications of computational creativity\, raising fundamental questions about artistic agency\, originality\, and the boundaries between human and machine-generated cultural production. \nImages: (left)Portrait of Kite by Rita Taylor (right) Kite\, cone of bright metal\, the size of a die (3)\, 2025\, mixed materials\, approx. 4 x 4 x 5 inches\, © Kite.

DESCRIPTION:In the 100th year since the birth of pioneering artist Robert Rauschenberg (October 22\, 1925 – May 12\, 2008)\, this exhibition highlights a selection of the artist’s “Stoned Moon” prints from the Haggerty’s collection shown alongside the work of three active artists: Oglála Lakȟóta performance artist\, visual artist\, and composer Kite; artist\, geographer\, and author Trevor Paglen; and Milwaukee-based multimedia artist Jason S. Yi. Rauschenberg’s color lithographs spark a conversation about humanity’s technological ambitions across the modern era that is brought into our current moment through these artists’ recent work. Kite’s dyed deer hides embroidered with Lakȟóta geometric semiotics are meditations on black holes\, functioning also as sonic scores. Paglen’s sumptuous photographs capture unidentified flying objects both in and beyond Earth’s atmosphere\, raising questions about surveillance by human and non-human actors. Yi’s installation of Red-crowned cranes cast from mulberry pulp\, forms a towering column of the endangered birds that have found a resurgent nesting ground in the demilitarized zone separating North Korea and South Korea. \nFor his large-scale “Stoned Moon” lithographs\, Rauschenberg drew on his experience witnessing the Apollo 11 lunar launch\, melded with a range of popular imagery and NASA-provided photographs to reflect on a new sense of human possibility brought about by a leap in technological potential. The three contemporary artists featured in this exhibition consider the ethics of technological innovation and its varied outcomes by taking up current issues such as covert surveillance\, humans’ relationships with the non-human\, and the upspring of new life under repressive conditions. These artists prompt us to reconceive the dividing lines between what we know and what we believe\, between human and non-human agency\, and between our impact on nature and its response. \n“This Side of the Stars: Rauschenberg’s Stoned Moon in the Company of Kite\, Paglen\, and Yi” is curated by Jennifer Johung\, PhD\, Professor of Contemporary Art and Architecture\, and Director of the Center for 21st-Century Studies\, University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee\, and Kirk Nickel\, PhD\, Haggerty Museum Curator of European Art. \nSupport for this exhibition is generously provided by Friends of the Haggerty Museum of Art Forward Funders and the Martha and Ray Smith\, Jr. Endowment Fund. \nImage: Robert Rauschenberg\, “Trust Zone (Stoned Moon)”\, 1969\, Lithograph\, 40 x 33 inches\, Ed. 22/65\, published by Gemini G.E.L.\, Los Angeles\, Collection of the Haggerty Museum of Art\, Marquette University ©Robert Rauschenberg Foundation and Gemini G.E.L.

SUMMARY:This Side of the Stars: Rauschenberg’s Stoned Moon in the Company of Kite\, Paglen\, and Yi
DESCRIPTION:In the 100th year since the birth of pioneering artist Robert Rauschenberg (October 22\, 1925 – May 12\, 2008)\, this exhibition highlights a selection of the artist’s “Stoned Moon” prints from the Haggerty’s collection shown alongside the work of three active artists: Oglála Lakȟóta performance artist\, visual artist\, and composer Kite; artist\, geographer\, and author Trevor Paglen; and Milwaukee-based multimedia artist Jason S. Yi. Rauschenberg’s color lithographs spark a conversation about humanity’s technological ambitions across the modern era that is brought into our current moment through these artists’ recent work. Kite’s dyed deer hides embroidered with Lakȟóta geometric semiotics are meditations on black holes\, functioning also as sonic scores. Paglen’s sumptuous photographs capture unidentified flying objects both in and beyond Earth’s atmosphere\, raising questions about surveillance by human and non-human actors. Yi’s installation of Red-crowned cranes cast from mulberry pulp\, forms a towering column of the endangered birds that have found a resurgent nesting ground in the demilitarized zone separating North Korea and South Korea. \nFor his large-scale “Stoned Moon” lithographs\, Rauschenberg drew on his experience witnessing the Apollo 11 lunar launch\, melded with a range of popular imagery and NASA-provided photographs to reflect on a new sense of human possibility brought about by a leap in technological potential.
