The University of Wisconsin-Superior’s Kruk and Experimental Galleries are currently hosting art exhibits for the spring 2025 season. These events are free and open to the community.

In UW-Superior’s Kruk Gallery, located in the Holden Fine Arts building, the work of Susan Maguire will be on display February 6 until March 6 in an exhibit titled “Illusion of Certainty.” Glass is made by combining materials – often silica, soda and limestone – and firing them at an incredibly high heat. As the molten substance cools, it hardens before its molecules have settled into the regular, repeating patterns characteristic of most solids. This makes glass neither a solid nor a liquid, but its own category of matter called an amorphous solid. Maguire’s work plays in this space of transition. Working across mediums of photography, sculpture, projection and painting, Maguire delights in questioning what individuals see and finds enjoyment in questioning the potential of material. This exhibition brings together new work specifically designed for the Kruk Gallery, alongside ideas that Maguire has been developing over the past decade.

The Experimental Gallery, also located in the Holden Fine Arts building, is featuring “Seasons of Change: Selections from Art 341.” In this exhibit, UW-Superior students in the Spring 2025 Gallery Practices course have partnered with students in the Fall 2024 Photography 2 class to explore transience and flux. Gallery Practices students served as curators to their colleagues in the advanced photography track. The exhibition they created featured color prints of digital work that reflects on the cycles of growth, decay and renewal that define experiences on earth. “Seasons of Change” will be on display February 10 to March 17.

The Kruk and Experimental Galleries are open Monday through Friday, 2 to 6 p.m. The galleries are in the Holden Fine Arts Center at 1805 Catlin Ave. in Superior.
