Rubendall Artist in Residence Henry Payer
Lower-level gallery
March 2 - June 30, 2018
Henry Payer is a Ho-Chunk multidisciplinary artist who works primarily with collage and mixed media to create bold and contemporary narrative compositions. His works reference the altered landscape through Indigenous cartographic methods of “picture-writing” with traditional aspects of spatial representation and symbolism combined with European modernist models of cubism, spatial distortion and collage. Each work offers a visual narrative of symbols and appropriated voices from American consumer society that reconfigures history, the landscape or the identity of a portrait. Henry represents the work of a new generation of artists seeking to expand the range and voice of their visual and cultural representation, while attending to forms of tradition.
LPS Art Mentor Program
Lower-level lobby
April 17 - May 18, 2018
The Lincoln Public School Visual Arts Mentoring Program exists to serve students in grades 1-5 who demonstrate exceptional abilities in the visual arts, including drawing, painting, and other media. Students who are selected for the program have the opportunity to work with an art mentor two hours each week during the school day. In addition, they will have two hours to work independently on their art; this studio time also occurs during the school day and is monitored by school staff. Under their mentor’s tutelage, students are encouraged to explore their artistic curiosities. This allows students to move at their own pace and work on areas of personal interest.
