Prof. James Bockelman to present joint exhibit in Omaha
Seward, NE (09/05/2018) — Concordia University, Nebraska, art professor James Bockelman's work will be featured in Cleft, a collaborative exhibition in Omaha from Sept. 14 through Oct. 5 in the Project Project Gallery.
Cleft comprises a central installation created between Bockelman and artist Michael Ian Larsen. The two express the idea of mirror and symmetry through a split reality piece about bathrooms. The exhibit will also feature a sculpture of Larsen's and two video projects by Bockelman, titled "Escalate" and "Rising and Falling."
Of the installation, Bockelman stated, "Michael and I tried to mimic those restrooms we've experienced, to reflect the mundanity and messiness of everyday life."
The exhibition will be on display in Project Project, an alternative art space in south Omaha, Nebraska. The opening reception is at 6 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 14 and continue on through Oct. 5. Viewing is available at the reception or by appointment. More information is available on Project Project's website at http://projectprojectomaha.com/.
