“The first week of the MCA's returning Here/Not Here series opens with Club Nutz, a tiny mobile nightclub dubbed "the world's smallest comedy club," assembled and run by a group of forward-thinking Milwaukee artists. If you missed Club Nutz at this year's NEXT showcase, where it was a centerpiece at the art fair, you can play catch-up here, as the MCA event features a similar grab-bag of performances, from standup comedy to dance parties, and even academic lectures — with a new addition of daily, open-mic sessions for the audience.”

This summer, the popular performative art exhibition Here/Not There returns, and asks how participatory actions within structured events can encourage a collective act of creation. The viewer, rather than the artist, is the focus as guests are encouraged to participate in performing and creating works. Remnants and documentation generated by the artist and visitors during each performance are on exhibit in the gallery for the duration of the week through the following Sunday. Visitors are invited to return to the museum throughout the week of each project to witness the results of their contributions. Each performance of Here/Not There begins on Tuesday at 7 pm, from July 6 through August 1, 2010. Through these four diverse performances, activities, and events, the artists and public expand an understanding of performance, visual art, and ideas of communal engagement.
