Hotcakes Galley in Riverwest will close for the month of December to protest "the spread of bad public art," said owner Mike Brenner in a statement on Tuesday.
"Greg Euclide (who grew up in Milwaukee) and I, decided it would be best to reschedule his upcoming show and close Hotcakes for all of December," Brenner wrote in an e-mail. "As a form of silent protest Hotcakes Gallery will go dark from now until January 18. Closing for the busiest part of the retail year, Hotcakes owner, Mike Brenner, is putting his money where his mouth is, to do whatever he can to stop the spread of bad public art.
"Euclide's show will instead open in June, following his show at Mass MOCA."
Last week, Brenner turned heads with a statement saying he'd quit his post with Milwaukee Artist Resource Network -- which he co-founded -- close his Riverwest Gallery and leave Milwaukee if Visit Milwaukee went ahead with its plan to erect a bronze monument to the "Fonzie" character from television's "Happy Days."
Shortly after, a number of other protests -- including one from outgoing Milwaukee Art Museum director David Gordon -- followed.
Visit Milwaukee's Dave Fantle responded to Brenner's initial statement with an offer to discuss the matter. According to the gallery owner, who is in Miami for an art event, the two will meet when Brenner returns to Milwaukee .

Why not put the statue of the Fonz at the Harley Museum? He rode a motorcycle, tourists will go there and it's not in the middle of downtown?!

I think Marquette should put up a bronze statue of Chris Farley

while i disagree with his strangly violent hatred with the fonz, at least he is backing up what he said. However, for me, it's is as simple a case as this, when i go to the Art Museum, there is an entire wing, multiple wings of things i don't find to be "good" art. Things such as chairs, chairs with less than 4 legs, large canvas' with a single color, canvas' that look like they were scribbled on by a 5 year old. so on and so forth. i just don't look at them. It's as simple as not going to the resturant you got food poisoning at 4 times...just avoid it, and we'll all be happy.

Hotcakes closed for a month?!? NOooo ... where am I going to go now for those hot waitresses in the short-shorts and those fabulous chicken wings? Oh, wait a minute ... I'm thinking of Hooters. Never mind.
