David R. Harper: Good Morning Sweetheart
On view April 22 – August 30, 2026
Madison Museum of Contemporary Art (MMoCA)
Madison, Wisconsin

“David R. Harper: Good Morning Sweetheart” brings together sculpture, textiles, ceramics, stained glass, and found imagery to explore how memory takes shape in objects. Couches, perfume bottles, motel soaps, detergents, birds, flowers, fragments of figurative sculpture, and everyday household items appear throughout the exhibition. Familiar at first glance, these things are carefully handmade, altered, and recombined—becoming intimate, uncanny, and quietly charged. Find out more: https://www.mmoca.org/events/sweetheart/
