WITELWIT? (What In The Ever Loving World Is This)

2020 Sculpture Milwaukee exhibit is taking shape, with several pieces already installed and more planned for the coming weeks.

The annual exhibit is now in its fourth year. Sculpture Milwaukee brings art pieces to West Wisconsin Avenue in downtown Milwaukee and this year will expand into the city’s 3rd Ward neighborhood.Stephen Marcus, board chairman of The Marcus Corp. (NYSE: MCS), founded the nonprofit event.

This year’s event is delayed. During planning in early March, crews had been expected to begin installing the sculptures in late May. Because of the new coronavirus pandemic, the timeline was then pushed back to early June.

Unlike in previous years, Sculpture Milwaukee will not offer tours or in-person events. Visitors can instead download a self-guided audio tour and walk the downtown sidewalks to see the close to 20 works spread across a mile-and-a-half.

This year’s display includes art from Tony Tasset, whose “Blob Monster” is “colorful, yet menacing,” according to Sculpture Milwaukee. Artist Jim Dine’s “Jim’s Head with Branches” is also part of the exhibit.

(WFRV) – Manitowoc Mayor Justin Nickels joined WFRV Local 5 This Morning for a Community Update. Mayor Nickels discussed the mask mandate for city-owned facilities, downtown improvements, and public art.

On Monday, Manitowoc’s mask mandate went into effect. Can you tell us who and where people have to wear face coverings?

Mayor Nickels says that the mandate, approved by the Common Council, requires masks to be worn in city-owned properties like City Hall and the Senior Center.

What if someone does not comply?

Mayor Nickels says that while there is not a fine for those who do not comply, if too many people do not wear masks in city-owned facilities, certain facilities could close down again.

“If patrons truly want to continue to have those services provided to them, they should really wear a mask or we may have to make the difficult decision of closing places like the Senior Center down again,” Mayor Nickels says.

There was some controversy after a photo few Manitowoc businessmen holding what appeared to be a noose was posted on Facebook. Did this spark a community conversation?

Mayor Nickels says the incident did initiate a conversation among the community, but another incident has created new controversy.
