Meet Me at the Chazen
Meet Me at the Chazen presents a uniquely intimate view of the Chazen Museum of Art’s past, present, and future.

Meet Me at the Chazen
Insistent Presence: Moving 'Exodus'
Host Gianofer Fields puts you in the middle of moving a work of art that is a centerpiece of the Insistent Presence exhibition: Exodus by Barthélémy Toguo, a work that comments on the movement of people throughout Africa. Listen for the hiss of the tire pump, the squeaky wheels, and the groans of the Chazen's freight elevator (which, it turns out, has a name).
Meet Me at the Chazen is a podcast about the the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Chazen Museum of Art, the largest collecting museum in the Big Ten. As we report what’s happening here, we'll also explore what it means to be an art museum at a public university and how art museums can help enrich and strengthen the communities they serve. Meet Me at the Chazen theme and incidental music is “Swinging at the Pluto Lounge,” composed and performed by Marvin Tate and friends, and is used with permission of the artists.
