Mollerskov states, “I believe that we can create a more peaceful world through the arts… design, music, painting, photography, theater and other art forms make this a better world in which to live, connect with people, share creativity and promote peace.” Theron P. Snell said, “I’m drawn to people and the spaces they occupy. As a street photographer, I look for that magical moment when I catch a combination of color and shape, a juxtaposition of individuals alone, together, or with man-made objects… sometimes a close-up of personal features, a tableau, shapes or colors that say something to me.” Bill Berggren seeks out and photographs commonplace as well as unusual wildflowers and plants, with or without their insect partners. “I work with color, light, and shades of gray,” said Berggren, “in diverse ecologies including dunes, marsh, prairie, woods, creeks and rivers…each providing its own challenges for a nature photographer.”
“Three Visions: runs through February 28. Spectrum Gallery is open on Saturdays and Sundays from 12:00 – 5:00 PM and by serendipity and appointment by calling (262) 634-4345
| HOLLYWOOD SHINES AT THE HARLEY-DAVIDSON MUSEUM FEBRUARY 12- MARCH 14
Feb. 28 | Harley Davidson Museum
| Throughout Hollywood history, motorcycles have shared the spotlight with heroes and heartthrobs as the ultimate symbol of rebellion, passion, heroism, and good ol’ American rock ‘n’ roll. The 1953 film The Wild One, starring Marlon Brando, cemented the public’s fascination with the biker rebel image and put the motorcycle on the map when it came to Hollywood films. Ever since, the motorcycle has shared the spotlight with some of Tinseltown’s greatest stars.
The Harley-Davidson Museum is home to many iconic stories starring the motorcycle. Beginning February 12 – and just in time for the Oscars – the Museum is rolling out the red carpet for some very special guest appearances as it showcases “Harleys & Hollywood,” an exclusive, limited-time exhibit.
Visitors to the Museum will have the chance to see, live and in person, some of the famous Hollywood motorcycles that have defined pop culture over the years. Bikes on display include those seen in the films G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Star Trek, and Wild Hogs, as well as those owned by stars Clark Gable, Steve McQueen, Ludacris, and Jesse James.
Everyone who visits “Harleys & Hollywood” can enjoy a flash of stardom as they hop in the saddle of the actual bike ridden by Shia Labouf in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and get their photo taken.
And those who want to know more about the bikes can hear a gallery talk on “Harleys & Hollywood” from a member of the Museum’s Archives and Curatorial staff every Thursday (Feb 18-March 11) at 2 p.m.
