….It’s a mind-expanding exhibit that is as visually, scientifically and philosophically far-reaching as any art show Madison has seen for many years.
(Martha) Glowacki, a Madison artist and co-curator of the Wisconsin Academy’s Watrous Gallery in the Overture Center, has created an installation that reaches back to the late 1800s, when humans began to understand and observe more about the solar system.
The exhibit also reaches right into the stars, with telescopic power. “Starry Transit” is situated in, and conceptually wedded to, Washburn Observatory, which sits majestically atop the highest point on the UW-Madison campus, overlooking Lake Mendota.
