“Pullcord” shows what UW-Madison sculptors are making now

Jon McComb, “Gift #1–4,” mixed media. ARTS “Pullcord” shows what UW-Madison sculptors are making now The University of Wisconsin-Madison sculpture area’s exhibition turns found materials A sign above the exhibition map is polite but firm: “PLEASE DO NOT PULL ANY CORDS.” The show “Pullcord” filled Gallery 7 of the Mosse Humanities Building and pushed the featured students to develop their own voices as artists in today’s society. The exhibit opened Nov. 3 and closed Nov. 7, and showcased 15 numbered works and 11 artists. Featured artists include sculpture graduate students Indigo Conat-Naar, Chelsea Southard and Christian Ulloa, along with other advanced students, faculty and staff. Among the pieces on display are Jon McComb’s four miniature houses, each constructed from found materials and dedicated to someone McComb loves and admires. For McComb, the process begins not with the materials, but with a person.
