SUMMARY:Undercurrents
DESCRIPTION:The Union for Contemporary Art opens “Undercurrents” by Nathan Murray on May 17\, and it will run through June 28. An opening reception is May 17 from 6 to 8 p.m.  Murray is a socially-engaged artist and educator working in Nebraska. His work explores issues of race\, ethnicity\, and intersectionality\, particularly how these aspects of identity are expressed in people and their stories.  \n\n\n\nExhibition Synopsis: \n\n\n\nIdentity is shaped by both visible and invisible forces. Ethnicity\, lived experiences\, and unspoken narratives define us and shape our unique identities. Undercurrents explores these deep\, often unseen layers of identity through a series of ceramic busts that honor individuals and their personal stories. Each sculpture captures more than a likeness; it is a vessel for history\, resilience\, and cultural memory. These busts invite viewers to engage with the complexities of identity—how it is formed\, how it is perceived\, and how it endures. \n\n\n\nThe individuals represented in “Undercurrents” are not just subjects; they are storytellers. Their presence reveal the currents that shape them—their struggles\, joys\, and the legacies they carry forward. This exhibition seeks to amplify voices that are often overlooked\, celebrating the strength found in personal and collective histories. “Undercurrent”s also speaks to the intersectionality of identity—the ways in which race\, gender\, class\,and other aspects of identity interconnect and shape individual experiences. Each bust serves as areminder that no single identity exists in isolation; rather\, they are part of a larger\, interconnected web of histories and communities. These intersecting layers influence how individuals navigate the world and how their stories resonate across diverse spaces.

SUMMARY:From the Great Lakes to the Great Plains
DESCRIPTION:The special exhibit\, “From the Great Lakes to the Great Plains: The Visible Currents of Climate Change\,” is at Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts from June 13 through Sept. 14\, 2025. Curated by Rachel Adams\, Chief Curator and Director of Programs\, the exhibition brings together 21 artists and an artist collective to examine the environmental\, cultural\, and political implications of water in two vital North American regions. \n\n\n\nParticipating artists — who have lived or worked in these regions — grapple with water as both life-giving and contested\, revealing its roles in systems of resilience\, exploitation\, and transformation. Works span media and perspectives\, with artists drawing from disciplines including ecology\, activism\, technology\, history\, and documentary practices. \n\n\n\nArtists featured in this exhibition include Teresa Baker\, Jess Benjamin\, Nadia Botello\, Andrea Carlson + Rozalinda Borcila\, Hoesy Corona\, Timothy Frerichs\, LaToya Ruby Frazier\, Dana Fritz\, Sky Hopinka\, JeeYeun Lee\, Dylan AT Miner\, Trey Moody\, John Pfahl\, Platte Basin Timelapse\, Asad Raza\, Karen Reimer\, Anna Scime\, Bently Spang\, Colleen Thurston\, and Tali Weinberg. Their contributions range from film and installation to weaving\, sculpture\, and sound — together offering imaginative responses to the urgent global water crisis. \n\n\n\nAmong the highlights are monumental clay sculptures by Jess Benjamin\, evoking the Hoover Dam intake towers and reflecting on infrastructure’s long-term environmental toll; a new commission by Tali Weinberg that translates 130 years of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) temperature data from four U.S. river basins into woven textile panels; and Bently Spang’s immersive War Shirt #6 – Waterways\, a powerful reinterpretation of the Plains Indian war shirt composed of 26 video monitors capturing the sights and sounds of water across Indigenous homelands.

SUMMARY:The Primacy of Form
DESCRIPTION:“The Primacy of Form\,” a new sculpture by pioneering sculptor Bruce Beasley\, will be on display at KANEKO from March 21 through Aug. 16\, 2025. Beasley transforms basic geometric shapes into mesmerizing compositions that seem to defy gravity. Working in materials from bronze and granite to Lucite\, his sculptures have commanded international attention since his undergraduate years\, when the Museum of Modern Art in New York (MoMA) displayed Beasley’s work with Picasso’s and Duchamp’s in a groundbreaking 1961 exhibition. KANEKO’s soaring spaces provide the perfect setting for these sculptures\, allowing visitors to appreciate their commanding presence and intricate interplay of form and light. \nThrough support from MECA/The Riverfront\, KANEKO is proud to host exhibitions of each artist featured in the park and to produce public programs providing community access to the artists and their work. Stroll through the Gene Leahy Mall Sculpture Park and see the Beasley work “Aeolis 7.”

SUMMARY:"Beyond the Finishing Point"
DESCRIPTION:“Beyond the Finishing Point” showcases Jun Kaneko’s collaborative drawings with 3-year-old Ana Citrin. The exhibit runs through Oct. 8. \n\n\n\nThe collection reveals what happens when mastery meets uninhibited expression. The series emerged from Kaneko’s fundamental artistic question – How do you know when a work is finished? – explored during his tenure as Head of Ceramics at Cranbrook Academy of Art. \n\n\n\nIn this extraordinary partnership\, Ana became the decision-maker\, determining when each drawing was complete. “I made a rule\,” Kaneko explains. “When she said\, ‘new paper\,’ no matter what\, I had to stop and change the paper.” Their Saturday sessions\, spanning over two years\, produced works that bridge disciplined technique and pure creative instinct. The exhibition invites viewers into a meditation on artistic boundaries\, revealing the profound connections that form when an established artist surrenders control to spontaneity and trust.

SUMMARY:From the Great Lakes to the Great Plains
DESCRIPTION:The special exhibit\, “From the Great Lakes to the Great Plains: The Visible Currents of Climate Change\,” is at Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts from June 13 through Sept. 14\, 2025. Curated by Rachel Adams\, Chief Curator and Director of Programs\, the exhibition brings together 21 artists and an artist collective to examine the environmental\, cultural\, and political implications of water in two vital North American regions. \n\n\n\nParticipating artists — who have lived or worked in these regions — grapple with water as both life-giving and contested\, revealing its roles in systems of resilience\, exploitation\, and transformation. Works span media and perspectives\, with artists drawing from disciplines including ecology\, activism\, technology\, history\, and documentary practices. \n\n\n\nArtists featured in this exhibition include Teresa Baker\, Jess Benjamin\, Nadia Botello\, Andrea Carlson + Rozalinda Borcila\, Hoesy Corona\, Timothy Frerichs\, LaToya Ruby Frazier\, Dana Fritz\, Sky Hopinka\, JeeYeun Lee\, Dylan AT Miner\, Trey Moody\, John Pfahl\, Platte Basin Timelapse\, Asad Raza\, Karen Reimer\, Anna Scime\, Bently Spang\, Colleen Thurston\, and Tali Weinberg. Their contributions range from film and installation to weaving\, sculpture\, and sound — together offering imaginative responses to the urgent global water crisis. \n\n\n\nAmong the highlights are monumental clay sculptures by Jess Benjamin\, evoking the Hoover Dam intake towers and reflecting on infrastructure’s long-term environmental toll; a new commission by Tali Weinberg that translates 130 years of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) temperature data from four U.S. river basins into woven textile panels; and Bently Spang’s immersive War Shirt #6 – Waterways\, a powerful reinterpretation of the Plains Indian war shirt composed of 26 video monitors capturing the sights and sounds of water across Indigenous homelands.

SUMMARY:From the Great Lakes to the Great Plains
DESCRIPTION:The special exhibit\, “From the Great Lakes to the Great Plains: The Visible Currents of Climate Change\,” is at Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts from June 13 through Sept. 14\, 2025. Curated by Rachel Adams\, Chief Curator and Director of Programs\, the exhibition brings together 21 artists and an artist collective to examine the environmental\, cultural\, and political implications of water in two vital North American regions. \n\n\n\nParticipating artists — who have lived or worked in these regions — grapple with water as both life-giving and contested\, revealing its roles in systems of resilience\, exploitation\, and transformation. Works span media and perspectives\, with artists drawing from disciplines including ecology\, activism\, technology\, history\, and documentary practices. \n\n\n\nArtists featured in this exhibition include Teresa Baker\, Jess Benjamin\, Nadia Botello\, Andrea Carlson + Rozalinda Borcila\, Hoesy Corona\, Timothy Frerichs\, LaToya Ruby Frazier\, Dana Fritz\, Sky Hopinka\, JeeYeun Lee\, Dylan AT Miner\, Trey Moody\, John Pfahl\, Platte Basin Timelapse\, Asad Raza\, Karen Reimer\, Anna Scime\, Bently Spang\, Colleen Thurston\, and Tali Weinberg. Their contributions range from film and installation to weaving\, sculpture\, and sound — together offering imaginative responses to the urgent global water crisis. \n\n\n\nAmong the highlights are monumental clay sculptures by Jess Benjamin\, evoking the Hoover Dam intake towers and reflecting on infrastructure’s long-term environmental toll; a new commission by Tali Weinberg that translates 130 years of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) temperature data from four U.S. river basins into woven textile panels; and Bently Spang’s immersive War Shirt #6 – Waterways\, a powerful reinterpretation of the Plains Indian war shirt composed of 26 video monitors capturing the sights and sounds of water across Indigenous homelands.

SUMMARY:The Primacy of Form
DESCRIPTION:“The Primacy of Form\,” a new sculpture by pioneering sculptor Bruce Beasley\, will be on display at KANEKO from March 21 through Aug. 16\, 2025. Beasley transforms basic geometric shapes into mesmerizing compositions that seem to defy gravity. Working in materials from bronze and granite to Lucite\, his sculptures have commanded international attention since his undergraduate years\, when the Museum of Modern Art in New York (MoMA) displayed Beasley’s work with Picasso’s and Duchamp’s in a groundbreaking 1961 exhibition. KANEKO’s soaring spaces provide the perfect setting for these sculptures\, allowing visitors to appreciate their commanding presence and intricate interplay of form and light. \nThrough support from MECA/The Riverfront\, KANEKO is proud to host exhibitions of each artist featured in the park and to produce public programs providing community access to the artists and their work. Stroll through the Gene Leahy Mall Sculpture Park and see the Beasley work “Aeolis 7.”
