On Sunday December 29, 2013 four of us (Jody Hirsh, Marge
Eiseman, Bev Richey and Clare Richey Kaplan) left Milwaukee at noon to go to
the 2013 Wisconsin Triennial at the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art. We were
met there by the exhibition Leah Kolb (the associate curator at the Madison
Museum of Contemporary Art) . Leah is also the facilitator of the Madison
Jewish Lab. Two other members of the Madison group met us at the museum for an
informative and inspiring gallery visit.

"The program was different than a standard art class. Instead of the typical teaching of techniques and art history, students were taught to collaborate with each other and focus on raising the students feminist consciousnesses about their artwork and ways of thinking. For example, students would go around the room, during discussions, and share personal experiences about specified topics such as money, relationships, and family. It was believed that by sharing these experiences, students were able to not only individualize their experience and insert more emotion into their artwork, but also learned about the collective experience among the one another, and empower themselves as individuals and a group. Instead of supporting the typical idea of artists being secluded and working as independent "geniuses," the class aimed to emphasize collaboration. The class was described as a "radical departure," for the time period"
