GREAT PLAINS ART MUSEUM
Tom Palmerton Retrospective Continues
at Great Plains Art Museum
| |
Tom Palmerton - "Winter
Crossing"
|
The Great Plains Art Museum at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln will host "Tom Palmerton: A Retrospective" beginning April 29.
The exhibition will be on display through June 26 at the museum, 1155 Q St., and feature paintings and sculpture produced throughout Palmerton's career. Many of the pieces in the exhibition are on loan from private individuals who are admirers of Palmerton's artwork.
Palmerton, a resident of Brownville, is one of the Midwest's most beloved artists. Born in Council Bluffs, Iowa, Dec. 9, 1932, he received formal training at the Kansas City Art Institute from 1955-59. He taught at the Kansas City Art Institute before returning to Nebraska, where he taught at the Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha and at the University of Omaha from 1963-1966. His work is shown in collections nationwide, including those of Mutual of Omaha, Vincent Price and ConAgra. His work is included in a number of Nebraska museums, the Joslyn Art Museum, Museum of Nebraska Art in Kearney, and Great Plains Art Museum and the Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery and Sculpture Garden in Lincoln.
"Tom Palmerton: A Retrospective" will include some of his favorite subjects over the years. Palmerton has worked extensively in both acrylics and in watercolors. His subjects range from figures seeming small in large prairie landscapes to "as found" depictions of discarded artifacts withering where they were abandoned by persons now long gone. Palmerton has been a prolific painter of Nebraska winter landscapes as well.
An opening reception will be held at the Great Plains Art Museum April 29 from 7-9 pm. The exhibition, including the opening reception, is free and open to the public.

MARY RIEPMA ROSS MEDIA ARTS CENTER
Continuing This Week at the Ross: The
Sea Inside, Nobody Knows
UNL's Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center
presents The Sea Inside, the newest film from director Alejandro Amenábar and
Nobody Knows, a new film starring Yuya Yagira (who was named Best Actor at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival).
Javier Bardem gives a remarkable, unforgettable performance in Alejandro Amenabar's gripping drama about dying with dignity, The Sea Inside. Thirty-five-year-old Bardem plays 55-year-old Ramon Sampedro, a Galician who broke his neck as a young man and has spent more than a quarter of a century as a quadriplegic, confined to bed. Reflecting on his past and considering his future, he chooses to die, petitioning the courts for permission to be euthanized. His radical decision sets off controversy throughout Spain--as well as in his own house, where his family and friends all have different opinions on the fate he has chosen. While Ramon's father (Alberto Gimenez) and brother (Celso Bugallo) refuse to help him die, and his nephew, Javi (Tamar Novas), tries to understand his uncle's decision, Ramon is surrounded by women who virtually fight over him--Rosa (Lola Duenas), a single mother of two who visits him to talk about her difficult life; Manuela (Mabel Rivera), his sister-in-law who takes care of his daily needs; Gene (Clara Segura), who works for the Death with Dignity organization; and Julia (Belen Rueda, in a powerful film debut), a married lawyer with a secret of her own.
Yuya Yagira was named Best Actor at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival for his moving portrayal of the older brother trying desperately to support his three younger siblings in writer-director Hirokazu Kore-eda's masterful work Nobody Knows. Kore-eda (Maborosi, After Life) also produced and edited the film, which was nominated for the Palm d'Or and was Japan's entry for the Academy Awards. Yagira stars as Akira, a determined and resourceful 12-year-old boy forced to take care of Kyoko (Ayu Kitaura), Shigeru (Hiei Kimura), and Yuki (Momoko Shimizu) every time their mother, Keiko (Japanese pop star and TV actress YOU), goes away for extended periods of time. In order to remain in their new apartment, the three younger children are not allowed outside or else the landlord, who does not know they live there, will evict them. Akira tries to teach his sisters and brother, as none of them attends school, with varying success. They have no friends, save for Saki (Hanae Kan), an offbeat outsider. When Keiko disappears and the money starts running out, the children are faced with severe problems, and tragedy lurks. Kore-eda based this powerful tale on a true story of abandoned children, and he has filmed Nobody Knows with a documentarian's eye, lending it added reality that makes it that much more heartwarming and, ultimately, heartbreaking.
