Dear Nancy Spector, Deputy Director and Chief Curator and Curatorial Staff:

Edward Ruscha, Director,
Milwaukee Art Museum
Carolee Schneemann, Director,

Deconstructing/reconstructing/reframing/recontextualizing/decontextualizing the Museum - its role and function, this proposal engages and discusses the notion of ‘Differance’ in the structure of the Museum.

I conceptualize “Direct”, as, collaboration, art intervention, new marketing, between the Director/Staff of the Museum and a contemporary artist. Your Museum may select a different artist on the suggested list.

Thank you

Best regards

Kevin Immanuel
