Artist Jennifer Steinkamp will speak about her computer-generated installations at 5:30 p.m. Aug. 28 at the Sheldon Museum of Art.
Steinkamp’s video “Madam Curie 1” is part of Sheldon’s exhibition “Turning Inside Out: Video Art by Joan Jonas, Nam Paik June, and Jennifer Steinkamp.” Her site-specific, computer-generated videos synthesize the real and the virtual, dissolving architectural space into an experience filled with color, light and motion.
Sharon Kennedy, curator of cultural and civic engagement at Sheldon, and UNL assistant professors Jeff Thompson and Marissa Vigneault will join Steinkamp in a discussion after the presentation. A reception will follow.
Steinkamp is a professor in the Media Arts and Design Department at the University of California, Los Angeles. Her artwork is part of public and private collections worldwide including the Albright-Knox Gallery in Buffalo, N.Y., Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Istanbul Modern in Turkey, and the Towada Art Center in Japan.
