Work to restore the Oriental Theatre on Milwaukees East Side will continue this summer while the theater remains closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Milwaukee Film, the nonprofit owner and operator of the 93-year-old theater, said Tuesday that it plans to complete renovations to the main and east theaters over the next few months.
Restoration work includes replacing seats and carpeting, improving sightlines and sound quality, restoring plaster on the ceiling and walls, and beginning the process for installation of a 1925 Wurlitzer theater organ.
Milwaukee Film expects the work will be completed in the fall.
Our operations have been highly disrupted by the coronavirus pandemic, which has created significant uncertainty over when well be able to safely open our doors again to large crowds, said Jonathan Jackson, chief executive officer and artistic director for Milwaukee Film. We are, however, able to safely embark on several long-planned restoration projects that, if not done now, would require future shutdown of the cinema.
The organization met its $10 million fundraising campaign goal for the project in spring 2019, and completed the restoration of the Orientals west theater later that year.
Going forward with this work now is an important decision, and as weve reached out to our major donors, theyve been extremely supportive that this is the perfect time for restoration to ensure were ready when its safe to bring film back to a packed house, said Patti Keating Kahn, board chair for Milwaukee Film.
Due to the pandemic and restoration work, Milwaukee Film has canceled its screenings of Cats, which were originally scheduled for March and moved to August.
While Milwaukee Film continues planning for a 2020 film festival, Jackson has said the likelihood of a 15-day, in-person event on the scale of the 2019 festival is exceedingly low.

In the second incident, a level-two fire was reported at around 5.21am inside a bank at Jolly Make Chamber located in Nariman Point, according to MFB. Prabhat Rahangdale, chief fire officer of MFB, said, The fire is confined to electric wiring, electric installation, office furniture, computers, office records, important documents and false ceiling in an area about 4,000 square foot of Bank of Bahrain and Kuwait along with the server room on the ground floor of the commercial complex.

A statement rug has the power of transformation. It can make or break a room, said
Samuel Pye, creative manager of Echlin Design Studio in London. Its like a piece of artwork; it will either bring everything in your room together, or completely change it.
For more advice on making a statement underfoot, follow these tips from the design pros.
More: The Magic of Macram
Take a Cue From Your Dcor
Think about what you want the room to feel like. If you're looking for a calming sanctuary, go for something more in keeping with the rest of your decor. If you're looking for something really daring, dont be afraid to introduce new colors and textures.
Think about the language you've set in the rest of your decor and try to reflect that. For example, have you got colors you can contrast with or complement? Metallics you want to highlight or add to? Is all the furniture very rectilinear or curvaceous?
For a recent project, the design was all about creating a space that looked built up over time with fine art. A lot of jewel tones and contrasting metallics created a luxury feel and we carried this through to a large metallic rug in a starburst pattern.
Samuel Pye, creative manager, London-based design studio Echlin
More: The New Way to Do Nautical Design
Set the Scale
If youre going with a bold pattern, keep complementary angles in mind. For example, if you have a rug with a sharp angular pattern, soften the room with rounded furniture. Also think about using varying scales of patterns to integrate your rug more cohesively. This goes for color as well. Use some of the standout colors in your rug in other places in the room, such as the fabrics of upholstered furniture.
Go toward a bigger size than smaller size when choosing rug dimensions. A secret that works to give the illusion of a larger rug is to layer your smaller statement rug on top of a larger solid rug. This creates a layered effect that dresses up the space by creating a border around your rug and defining it more.
Los Angeles-based designer Breegan Jane
More: Designing With Outdoor Lounge Furniture
Let it be the Focus
Statement rugs can immediately focus your attention and then allow you to methodically take in all other design aspects of the room by expanding your sight line from the center out. We like to mix weave, yarn type and color together, not just surface design, to give each rug its own personality.
The shape of rugs can be determined by any factor in the space: furniture layout, room configuration or ceiling profile (tray, coffered, framed). Rug size should reflect room scale, amount and placement of furniture, and act as natural room breaks in larger spaces without disrupting traffic flow and sight lines.
Bob Margies, director of installation services at Merida, a rug company based in Fall River, Massachusetts
From Penta: The 2020 Bentley Continental GT V8 is in Rarefied Air
Think About Layering
I love using them in dining rooms because they create a fabulous base for a large table that may have beautiful wood, but not many other details going on when they arent set, so the rug can really stand on its own.
I love a wool rug for the durability, but blending in layers of silk creates visual interest and texture. 100% wool rugs fall much flatter.
LeeAnn Baker of Seattle-based LeeAnn Baker Interiors
Curate Your Vision
I often start with the rug design to inspire the rest of the color and fabric selections. Rugs can be the singular art piece in a room. A contrasting black and taupe abstract pattern would be magnificent under Liaigre furnishings, for example.
One tip for designing a high-contrast rug is to use shadowing or gradient poms off each main color to give it that ultra-custom touch.
Genevieve Trousdale of Circa Genevieve design studio in West Hollywood

Let Your Style Lead the Way
For a look that is timeless but still makes a statement, Persian, Turkish and Moroccan rugs are the perfect way to bring in a mix of color, pattern and texture. If youre shying away from having a lot of color in your rug but still want it to make a statement, consider using bold patternsthey can be smaller patterns that look a little busy or larger scale patterns such as geometric shapes.
Shape can definitely play a huge role. For example, if you dont want to use a super colorful rug with tons of patterns, you can use a fun shape like a cow hide to grab the eye and make the space look more interesting.

Apart from their convenience (hot/cold, chilled, filtered and even sparkling water), its worth noting their superb energy-saving potential for a nation depressing the kettle control like piano keys day long.

The government has given the go ahead for galleries, museums, theatres and libraries to reopen on Monday, but some in Prince Albert will remain shuttered for the time being.
The announcement does, however, allow some businesses in these sectors to start planning for the summer.
I was just on the edge of my seat as we were hoping that things would be announced last week, said Lana Wilson, the Mann Art Gallerys acting director and curator.
We have some contingency plans. We just need to know which one to start, which one to put into action, she explained, because for us and for a lot of museums and galleries, being given the go ahead by the government is just the first step and we have a couple of other steps that we still need to put into place before we can actually reopen.
Wilson said that other galleries may be able to open their doors sooner if they were in the middle of an exhibition at the time of temporarily closing.
In mid-March, the Mann Art Gallery was at the tail end of its Winter Festival Art Show & Sale. It took four weeks for all of the artists, who came in one-by-one, to safely pick up their works.
Now that the reopening date has been announced, staff are able to decipher what summer exhibitions will be feasible to carry out.
Wilson wasnt sure if any would be moving forward, but one of the three they planned will be hitting the gallery. Its called Migrations, and features sculptures, paintings and audio by three different artists.
Ive spoke to the artists and they were really keen to go ahead because, in fact, the theme of their exhibition talks about migration, movement and spread, explained Wilson, emphasizing how fitting the theme is for the current pandemic.
She said the gallery will also be moving forward with an outdoor installation this summer, but staff havent locked down enough details to speak publicly about the project.
The decision of when to reopen doesnt just involve the Mann Art Gallery as an organization. Because its located in the E.A. Rawlinson Centrea city-owned facilitycity officials will be working with them on guidelines for opening their doors.
The same applies to the Rawlinson Centre and museums.
In a Thursday news release, the City of Prince Albert said it will provide an update on spray parks, the Alfred Jenkins Field House, Prince Albert Arts Centre, museums and the Rawlinson Centre next week.
On Facebook, the On The Avenue Artisans Gallery said it will be reopening on Tuesday.
While the John M. Cuelenaere Library is allowed to reopen in the next few days, it also will not be opening its doors because its in the middle of renovations.
We had a plan to shut down this summer to do a renovation before the pandemic, said Library Director Alex Juorio.
Theres still a few weeks before we can even think about doing any kind of service.
Renovations including replacing the flooring, ceiling tiles and shelving units.
Because most of its physical material is stored in boxes, the library is not currently offering curbside pickup.
Juorio said the library is aiming to reopen in August. But, depending on the state of the renovations, they may solely be offering curbside pickup at that time.
He emphasized that the library hasnt entered a full closure throughout the pandemic, though, because of its electronic collection.
Throughout the entire pandemic, weve been adding a lot of material to our electronic collection, so you can still download a video, stream it, you can still download music and listen to it, you can still stream music, you can look at ebooks, at audiobooks, you can look at comic books and graphic novels, he said.
Juorio added having a later reopening date will be positive for the library because it can follow measures from other libraries, including how to keep the public computer area as clean as possible.
Were just trying to make the best of a bad situation, he said, adding that hes been getting a lot of questions from the public about when the library will be opening up.
You can tell were a valued service and people miss us.

Berlins Jewish Museum is among the largest and most famous of its kind in the world. Yet the permanent exhibition, unlike the acclaimed Daniel Libeskind building that houses it, has long been considered old-fashioned and clunkyin short, always something of a disappointment.
Since January 2019, the Libeskind galleries, which were frequented by more than 11 million visitors since opening in 2001, have been closed for a comprehensive refurbishment due for completion this summer. The museum announced yesterday thataftersome delayvisitors will be welcomed on August 23.
Given both the institutional context and the wider political landscape, this major reboot has curators and designers balancing on a tightrope. Last year, its director Peter Schfer resigned after a series of incidents for which he was criticized for being too outspoken in the Israel-Palestine debate. Outside the museum, both in Germany and abroad, right-wing populism and anti-Semitism are on the rise, making this institution more important than ever.

Amid such high stakes, the Berlin-based design office chezweitz has been tasked with integrating the museums heavy content into its existing architecture in a way that draws viewers in and brings them along. Walking through its empty galleries while the project was still underway, difficult questions emerged: How do you design exhibitions within a building already so thoroughly designed? And how might design accommodate a history ridden with tragedy without succumbing to clich or kitsch?
In a city of few architectural wonders, not only as far as museums go, Libeskinds landmark is tied only with Mies van der Rohes Neue Nationalgaleriean uncompromising glass box with a levitating roofand David Chipperfields poetic restoration of the bombed-out Neues Museum. In the shape of a lighting bolt, or a broken star of David, Libeskinds zinc-clad structure, cut up by slitted windows, is a sculpture. It stood empty for years before the unveiling of the permanent exhibition in 2001 and, considering that Peter Eisenmans Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe wasnt finished until 2005, in its vacant state, the Jewish Museum effectively served as the German capitals primary Holocaust remembrance site. And as suchIve heard time and time againit was perfect.
Yet Libeskind seems to have considered every detail except how his idiosyncratic galleries could possibly fulfill the purpose they were designed for, namely housing a presentation of historic ephemera, artworks, and artifacts. The architecture, quite simply, is too busy exhibiting itself. For that reason, the permanent exhibition on view for the better part of the last 20 years was something of an Eintopf: a stew in which the individual ingredients disappear into a murky whole. Too full and too monotonous, each chapter simply followed the next in an uneventful continuum. In what was presumably an attempt to lend prominence to the surroundings, the display and architecture ended up sounding each other out.
In 1999, in the early stages of his career, architect Detlef Weitz submitted a bid in the public debate over a future Holocaust memorial that would become Eisenmans famous work. In Libeskinds building you already have your memorial,he wrote to the city, just leave it empty. It is ironic that now, as head of chezweitz, which is among Europes leading exhibition design firms, Weitz is tasked with filling up the very same rooms he once advised to leave alone. He and his team have been reworking the 3,500-square-meter (38,000-square-foot) building since 2016, and the roughly 6.5 million ($7 million) project is set to be unveiled to the public in August.

The new exhibition Jewish Life in Germany: Past and Present is broken off into five chapters spanning the Middle Ages to the present. The buildings updated design is deliberately disorienting, intending to mirror the tortured and winding trajectory of Jewish history. Our challenge as designers has been to maintain this sense of disruption, while at the same time making a functional exhibition, Weitz told me as we stood in the half-finished installation. In the main concourse, Libeskinds black void-bridge stretches the length of the complex, interrupting the flow of its various galleries and allowing only partial views into its memory voidslarge, bare, and sometimes inaccessible concrete shafts at the buildings core.
Because this state of disharmony is essential to the power of Libeskinds spaces, Weitz and his team have taken on the task of matching or even exacerbating its symbolic potency.Where the old exhibition used a similar design scheme for the entire display, chezweitz has opted for a series of distinct and characteristic spaces that each respond to the architecture in their own way. In rendering the fatal claustrophobia of the World War II years, for instance, semi-reflective steel plates suspended from the ceiling are scarred by narrow glass vitrines, which are also reminiscent of the windows to the outside.
Here we really made an effort to avoid the material clichs of Holocaust memorial architecture, said Weitz, listing the rusted metal and raw concrete that is typically mobilized to lend gravity to memorials around the world. Instead, their maze of knife blades merges with the black void bridge, enriching the existing symbolic vocabulary. It will be brutal because its perfect, he added. If Libeskinds metaphors have always seemed somewhat contrived, the incorporation of them into the exhibition itself, even in its current half-built state, turns them winningly self-evident.

As for art, as part of the revitalization, German artist Anselm Kiefer is creating a much-anticipated work about the Kabbalah. The existing Shalekhet installation, an epic and solemn piece by Israeli sculptor Menashe Kadishmanmore than 10,000 faces with open mouths cut from heavy iron plates that cover the floor of one of the memory voidswill be complemented by a more uplifting face-based artwork by illustrator Andree Volkmann. In a previously blank staircase connecting the two floors of the exhibition, Volkmann has portrayed a diverse list of famous Jewish personalitiesfrom Jesus to Weimar-era Foreign Minister Walther Rathenau and Amy Winehouseon a backdrop of dreamy pastel-colored clouds that doubles as a selfie spot. Its a welcome moment of levity before the exhibition turns to the 20th century.
While artworks can introduce a helpful sense of ambiguity and poetry, in a context like this museum, their qualities are just as often not what is required. A gallery about the legal restrictions imposed upon Jews throughout the 1930s might have been the subject of another art commission, or some creative sentiment could have helped to bring home the point. But this content needs more specificity and less subjectivity than is typically offered by an artwork; here, unpoetic documentation is crucial.

Weitzs solution delivers on both facts and drama: layers and layers of paper measuring the height of the room bear the laws issued by Germany that gradually turned Jewish life into an oxymoron after 1933. In these rooms, the procedure by which barbarism was veiled by bureaucracy is given material form in a way that is both moving and straightforward.
As the timeline of the exhibition moves into the 1940s, the paper walls turn to steel, and you notice your own blurred reflectiona gesture both to identity and complicity. On the other side of this dark chapter follows one about anti-semitism in our contemporary moment. When the museum and chezweitz started working on the project, this section was somewhat meager. Now, following dramatic right-wing riots in the German city of Chemnitz and elsewhere since 2018, Weitz calls it one of the most important parts of the exhibition. One hopes another update wont be necessary for a while.
