The Hixson-Lied Visiting Artist and Scholar Lecture Series of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s School of Art, Art History and Design brings notable artists, scholars and designers to campus each semester to enhance the education of students. Each visiting artist or scholar spends one to three days on campus to meet with classes, participate in critiques and give demonstrations. Every visiting artist or scholar gives at least one major lecture that is free and open to the public.
The remaining lectures in the series this fall include:
• Priya Kambli, photography, at 5:30 p.m. Nov. 10 in Richards Hall, Room 15. Kambli’s work is rooted in her fascination in the intersection between her parents’ lives in India and her own in the U.S. For Kambli, photography is a means to bridge the gap between two cultures, come to terms with the effects of displacement and to illuminate connections between the past and the present.
• Chris Gustin and Gerit Grimm, ceramics, at 5:30 p.m. Nov. 15 in Richards Hall, Room 15. Their visit is sponsored primarily by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Clay Club. Gustin is one of the leading ceramists of his generation with more than 40 solo exhibitions at leading institutions and galleries throughout the world. Grimm is assistant professor of art at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
