Night view through the windows of the Milwaukee Museum of Art addition (designed by Santiago Calatrava, completed in 2001). The frame records a surface where institutional space and exterior ground merge. The image brackets a cultural node within a larger network of capital circulation.

Made without correcting for reflected interference allowing the glass to function as a combining device, folding the museum architecture into the lit form of Alexander Liberman’s “Argo” from 1974.

I am posting this as another observation in my ongoing study of points where cultural capital and economic drift intersect. Like many pieces, this sculpture was purchased Mrs. Harry Lynde Bradley, simply because it would compliment the architecture of the museum’s new addition (largely financed by the Bradley corporation).

Capital’s residue often washes up and sticks to the museum’s boundaries.
