Until August 12, the Appleton Museum of Art is presenting its biennial devoted to installation art, which this year is titled “Art of Our Time II.” Curated by Alette Simmons-Jimenez, this exhibition showcases the works of 12 artists from around the state. The selected works span a range of media, from videos to textile-based works of all shapes and sizes. Participating artists include Pip Brant, Janis Brothers, Natasha Duwin, Marina Font, Danilo Gonzalez, Patricia Schnall-Gutierrez, Wes Kline, Cynthia Mason, Bianca Pratorius, Judith Salmon, Gretchen Scharnagl and Alex Trimino.

Despite the excellent quality of all of the selected works, I was overwhelmed by Janis Brothers’ video installation That Was Then/This Is Now Vigil, through which the artist speaks about personal experiences of place, life, memories and the loss of youth. Two projected and synchronized videos play on two walls located in the corner. The artist places a self-contained, steel-encased basin that contains dark water from the Suwannee River and is surrounded by river sand in the room. Another video is projected on the water’s surface, showing a dead girl floating face down. Brothers gives the viewer a voyeuristic glimpse into the rural, Southern culture in which she lives. Through August 12, 2012.
