Artist Jean Conner will participate in a conversation with guest curator Marissa Vigneault at 5:30 p.m. March 8 at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s Sheldon Museum of Art.
Conner’s work and that of her husband are the subject of the exhibition “Some Place … Not Too Far Away: Bruce and Jean at the University of Nebraska.” The exhibit is open through May 8.
Vigneault will also give a gallery talk on the exhibition at noon March 8.
Bruce Conner and Jean Sandstedt met in a painting class at the university in 1954. They married in 1957 and remained together until Bruce’s death in 2008.
The exhibition includes works by the Conners and their professors Rudy Pozzatti, LeRoy Burket and David Seyler. It examines the sustained influence of the university’s art department—as well as the surrounding political, cultural and geographic environment—on these two artists.
