Fri: 5-9 p.m.

Flock

Arts @ Large is thrilled to welcome artist-educator, Hattie Grimm, as our springtime artist in residence for the 2025-26 cohort. The residency will launch on Gallery Night MKE with an interactive installation featuring small bird puppets. Visitors are invited to animate the puppets, experiment with movement, and record short performances. Prompts will encourage reflection on collective motion and freedom, asking questions such as: What shape does your flock take? What does freedom look like in motion? Our residency kickoff will set in motion a series of events that will culminate in a bird parade on July 1. See you in the gallery!

INKLINGS – Cynthia Brinich-Langlois

Inklings presents a dreamlike view of our world through lithographic prints and collaged forms depicting fantastical creatures and the places they inhabit. Merging the artist’s autobiographical experiences and ecological research, moments of magic and wonder exist alongside suspicion, conflict, and confusion — swirling together into faceless entities formed from folded paper. Originally from Alaska, Cynthia Brinich-Langlois attended Kenyon College and the University of New Mexico before moving to Milwaukee, where she teaches printmaking and digital art at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

Hawthorn Contemporary

CONTINUATIONS: YE ZHU 

Drawing upon the figure of the Arhat in Buddhism as a contemporary analogy for liminality, hybridity, and spirituality, artist Ye Zhu assembles a body of work across relief painting and sculptural installation. For CONTINUATIONS, Zhu unearths a series he began during his MFA at Yale in 2020, while he was inquiring into religious iconography and its global transmission through aesthetic forms. While several of the original CONTINUATIONS reliefs were destroyed over the years, Zhu has remade all eight as large-scale mixed media works on panel for this exhibition. Each meditating body here is reconfigured in clay, fabric, paper, and subsequently takes on distinct formal characteristics and materialities. 

Magic Box & Brothers Studio

No Place For Self Pity, No Room For Fear

Ahmari Benton is an interdisciplinary artist working across wet and dry media, collage, and textiles. Her practice interrogates personal and social identity, particularly through the lenses of gender and race. Borrowing its title from Toni Morrison, the exhibition emphasizes the necessity of creative labor in times of uncertainty. Benton’s work frames endurance as an active, alchemical process — transforming fear into insight and wounds into material expression. Guided by the principles of Sankofa and Kujichagulia, the work reaches into the past to inform a self-determined future, positioning legacy as both inheritance and responsibility. Layered and improvisational, her compositions echo the emotional resonance of “Can’t Keep Running Away” by hip hop group The Pharcyde, calling the viewer toward reflection and accountability. “No Place for Self-Pity, No Room for Fear” ultimately presents resilience as rhythmic, spiritual, and self-defined — an embodied practice of forward motion, where growth emerges through, rather than despite, adversity.

All artwork sales will be donated to the local immigrant rights organization “Voces de Frontera.”

Myth & Symbol: Artwork by Jan Jahnke & Roxane Mayeur

Using diverse styles and techniques, Jan Jahnke and Roxane Mayeur each present a body of work that explores the roles of myth, symbol, and universal truth in personal journeys. They often draw inspiration from their pasts by using natural materials like wood, rusted metal, and wax, which mirror the passing of time. Both artists employ physical approaches to their art making to create mixed media work by layering, sanding, scraping and mark-making to create symbolic narratives, while inviting the viewer to explore their own connections to the imagery.
