'Art Seen' '- Superb survey of Lincoln and Omaha contemporary art at Joslyn

OMAHA -- There’s a fine contemporary art exhibition at the Joslyn Art Museum, a show that contains work in media from painting and sculpture to photography, ceramics, video, glass and textiles that effectively captures a slice of art of our time.

That work, however, isn’t from the hot new names working in New York or London.

It’s from 37 Nebraska artists selected for “Art Seen: A Juried Exhibition of Artists from Omaha to Lincoln,” and it illustrates one of the pivotal changes in the art world over the last couple of decades.

Berkeley photo show at Kimmel Harding Nelson Center

Lincoln artist Sarah Berkeley will present “Places I Sleep,” a series of new photographs beginning Monday at the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts in Nebraska City.

The in-progress series is themed around the interior spaces that the artist, a Nebraska Wesleyan University professor, has inhabited for at least one night. Berkeley’s work questions cultural norms, such as the 9 to 5 workday, the office environment, indoor living, gender stereotypes and the voluntary sharing of personal data.
