Statement of Necessity by Ernesto Oroza

Espacio provisional at Milwaukee International Art Fair 2008

The second Milwaukee International Art Fair arrived to the Polish Falcons beer hall, May 16-17, 2008. This location put amazing contemporary art from around the world against a backdrop of real old-world charm, in the midst of the quaint working-class Riverwest neighborhood. Strolling through the aisles provided a glimpse of new drawing, painting, video and sculpture while the sweet sounds of the Falcon Bowl rumbled up from the basement. The Falcon Bowl sports the 4^th-oldest bowling alley in America, and for two days, possibly made the coziest art fair one could ever visit.
