SUMMARY:Ezra Masch's "VOLUMES"
DESCRIPTION:Ezra Masch’s “VOLUMES” is an immersive audio-visual performance that reimagines the relationship between sound\, light\, and architecture. The exhibit runs through May 3. Note: The Bemis Center stays open late on Thursdays (until 9 p.m.). \n\n\n\nAbout the exhibition: Through collaborations with musicians\, Masch expands the possibilities of performance by making sound visible and space audible. Each iteration of “VOLUMES” is unique\, shaped by the interplay of musician\, instrument\, and environment\, and no two experiences are ever the same. What emerges is a living system of exchange between sound and light\, artist and collaborator\, audience and architecture\, that underscores how art can transform perception and create shared moments of discovery. \n\n\n\nMonthly performances will feature a dynamic lineup of musicians\, including: \n\n\n\n\nNationally recognized musician George Burton will perform on February 20\n\n\n\nOmaha-based Phill Smith on March 28 during Bemis Center’s Open House / Open Studios event\n\n\n\nDrummer Mark Guiliana performing during the exhibition’s closing weekend on May 2

SUMMARY:"Close to the Clouds: Encountering Digital Diasporas"
DESCRIPTION:“Close to the Clouds: Encountering Digital Diasporas” features Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme\, Zainab Aliyu\, Rindon Johnson\, Lauren Lee McCarthy and Kyle McDonald\, Rebeca Romero\, and Tianyi Sun and Fiel Guhit – who consider how the formation of collective identities takes place utilizing technology and the internet. The exhibit runs through May 3. Note: The Bemis Center stays open late on Thursdays (until 9 p.m.). \n\n\n\nAbout the exhibition: The artists in “Close to the Clouds” use multiple approaches to expand the idea of “digital diasporas”—their works are invitations to oscillate between the physical and the digital\, through durational mediums and a poetic interpretation of time. They consider how media and communications shape our sense of self as we move through various places. Across the exhibition one will encounter various sites from the site-specificity of Omaha\, Nebraska to airports\, islands\, and ruins afar\, ranging from real to immaterial spaces. By way of ancestral mythologies\, current memories\, augmented inner monologues\, and imagined futures\, the artists bring us closer to understanding how technological clouds affect our interpersonal relationships.

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.

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.
