“An Exploration of Privacy,” sponsored by the Marshall Building, is part of Gallery Night and Day.
The right to privacy stems from the Fourth Amendment, which touches the core of personhood and personal rights. It guarantees that “the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated.”

About the artists
Thomas Gaudynski is a Milwaukee writer, sound and visual artist, and life-long entrepreneurial scholar. He will show drawings that examine issues of personal privacy interwoven with contemporary life.
Originally trained as a visual artist, Gaudynski switched his artistic focus to sound art and text sound in his early twenties. He has received a number of grants from the Wisconsin Arts Board, including a Music Composition Fellowship in 1989, and was instrumental in the Milwaukee Arts Board grant awarded to Woodland Pattern Book Center for their John Cage Centennial Celebration during 2012 which he also curated.
His book Artifacts: Essays on Music + Art + Language was published in 2001 by Necessary Arts. Gaudynski returned seriously to making visual art in 2009. His work has been exhibited throughout Milwaukee and is included in private collections in Milwaukee, Chicago, New York and Seattle.

He will share prints document the intersection of civil rights, public persona, and political movements. His artwork is in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art and the Milwaukee Art Museum, among others. Collectively, he works with two groups: The Justseeds Artists’ Cooperative – a worker- owned printmaking cooperative of twenty-five artists in North America that formed in 2007 and ReciproCity – a mobile experimental cultural center that focuses on urban agricultural projects and community activism in Milwaukee and beyond.
