Current Tendencies III: Artists from Milwaukee features the work of nine emerging, mid-career, and established Milwaukee artists working in a variety of media including photography. The artists participating in the exhibition are Tyanna Buie, William E. Carpenter, Evan Gruzis, Jon Horvath, Mark Mulhern, Jean Roberts Guequierre, Cassandra Smith and Jessica Steeber (in collaboration) and Jason S. Yi.

Each installment of the Current Tendencies exhibition series has differed slightly, and for this edition participating artists will respond to work(s) from the permanent collection of the Haggerty Museum. Each artist will be asked to select at least one permanent collection work and create an installation that places the work(s) in dialogue with their own. This exhibition model aims to elicit fresh perspectives about the Milwaukee artists’ work by making conceptual or aesthetic connections to work from the permanent collection. The lower level of the Haggerty Museum will be divided into discrete spaces for each artist or team.

Jon Horvath is an artist and educator residing in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He received his MFA from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 2008. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally in galleries including: The Print Center (Philadelphia), Macy Gallery at Columbia University (New York), and The Detroit Center for Contemporary Photography. His work is currently held in the permanent collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and is included in the Midwest Photographers Project at MoCP . Horvath was a finalist for the The Greater Milwaukee Foundation's 2009 and 2010 Mary L. Nohl Emerging Artist Fellowship. In 2011, he was named a US Flash Forward winner by The Magenta Foundation. Horvath currently teaches at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and The Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design.
