Current Fellows

Sebura&Gartelmann

"Our practice is based in the the conceptual notion of reliance. We push, fall, build, collapse, and hold in support of each other and in spite of each other. Our collaboration is a navigation of not only the space between us, but also reflects our surroundings."

Sebura&Gartelmann is a collaborative of Jonas Sebura (Kent, OH) and Alex Gartelmann (Milwaukee, WI). The pair have been working together since 2010. Jonas Sebura received his BFA from Alfred University in 2003 and his MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2011. Alex Gartelmann received his BFA from the University of the Arts in 2007 and his MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2012. Their work has been shown widely, including at the UICA in Grand rapids, MI, NADA Miami Beach, Cough-Hanson Gallery, Memphis, TN, Antenna Gallery, New Orleans, LA and the John Michael Kohler Art Center, Sheboygan, WI, among others. Sebura is Assistant Professor of Sculpture at Kent State University in Kent, OH. Gartelmann is the Projects Coordinator for Exhibitions at the John Michael Kohler Art Center in Sheboygan, WI.

Stump-Linshalm Duo

"They elicit the most unusual sounds from their instruments. These range from ethereal arabesques to enraged shrieking."

For many years Petra Stump and Heinz-Peter have been working together as a clarinet duo and established their reputation with ensembles and projects in contemporary music. Numerous internationally active composers like Pierluigi Billone, Chaya Czernowin, Beat Furrer, Bernhard Gander, Jorge Sanchez-Chiong and many others have dedicated pieces to the Duo Stump-Linshalm.

Past Fellows

Johnny Adimando

"In my work I suggest the “otherworldly” by presenting, all-at-once, an aggregate of information, that in its’ micro and macrocosmic form still manage to preserve a tether to the indecipherable. I do so in a feverish attempt to convey an engagement with an otherness not defined by common, moral, or social constructs. I am intrigued by the questions: Have I been misplaced, or displaced…and, what is it to be out-of-place? And as such, these graphic messages, although filtered, are inevitably transmitted in a seemingly tertiary “signiconic” or codex-like form; a visual-language that bridges the cosmic and terrestrial, crystallizing all-while dissipating, and which harmonizes as it obfuscates."

Beth Lipman

"The use of glass creates a tangible third dimension, capturing the work's polished quality; it foils the viewer's eye; it frustrates efforts to claim and own what is seen."

Beth Lipman lives and works in Sheboygan Falls WI.  She has exhibited at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Milwaukee Art Museum, Gustavsbergs Konsthall in Sweden, Museum of Glass in Washington, ICA/MECA in Maine, RISD Museum, and been aquired by the Brooklyn Museum of Art, Smithsonian American Art Museum, and the Corning Museum of Glass.  She has received numerous awards including a Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Grant, Wisconsin Arts Board Fellowship, and a Ruth Chenven Foundation Grant.
