In the late seventies, Kremen began to focus on three-dimensional form by making sculptures from discarded steel. Although they are related structurally to his collages, they are much larger and more physically imposing, thus adding another dimension to a truly unique aesthetic vision that does not fit into the prescribed artworld scene. N.C. Funding for this exhibition was provided in part by the Nebraska Art Association, a nonprofit membership organization dedicated to the advancement of the visual arts in Nebraska through educational and enrichment opportunities. Additional funding has been provided by the Nebraska Arts Council, a state agency, through a Basic Support Grant, which has supported all the year's programs of the Nebraska Art Association. The Starkadder family will grace the screen of the Mary Riepma Ross Film Theater when John Schlesinger's Cold Comfort Farm opens Dec. 12 at the theater.
Admission is free.
Introduced by Chancellor James Moeser and Joan Giesecke, dean of libraries, the gala concert will feature solo songs on texts by Dickinson and a premier work for soprano and chamber ensemble by UNL composer Randall Snyder entitled A Route of Evanescence. Snyder has set letters and poems by Dickinson as texts for this work. Finally, the gala concert will end with choral works for women's chorus on Dickinson texts. The UNL Chorale, under the direction of Carolee Curtright, will present these works. Following the film there will be an opportunity to view articles from the Lowenberg Collection in the Music Library, located in the basement of Westbrook.
