SHELDON MEMORIAL ART GALLERY
'Collage Aesthetic' Opens at Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery
One of the most important and influential stylistic inventions in 20th-century art, collage allows artists to collect and transform bits and pieces from the material world into an entirely new composition or configuration.
"Collage Aesthetic" presents a small but important selection of art from Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery's collection at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The exhibition opens Sept. 29 and continues through Feb. 4. Works by Bruce Conner, Joseph Cornell, Weldon Kees, Irwin Kremen and others reveal the creative power of this modern artistic method.
An opening reception for the exhibition will be 5-7 p.m. Oct. 6. The Nebraska Arts Council has provided generous support for this exhibition.

MARY RIEPMA ROSS MEDIA ARTS CENTER
Who Killed The Electric Car?, Drawing Restraint 9 Show at the Ross
UNL's Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center presents Who Killed The Electric Car? and Drawing Restraint 9. Both films will be showing through October 12.
It was among the fastest, most efficient production cars ever built. It ran on electricity, produced no emissions and catapulted American technology to the forefront of the automotive industry. The lucky few who drove it never wanted to give it up. So why did General Motors crush its fleet of EV1 electric vehicles in the Arizona desert? Who Killed The Electric Car? chronicles the life and mysterious death of the GM EV1, examining its cultural and economic ripple effects and how they reverberated through the halls of government and big business.
Matthew Barney teams up with Bjork for Drawing Restraint 9. In this highly experimental film in the style of Barney's CREMASTER cycle, Bjork also provides the soundtrack, making it essential viewing for fans of her more esoteric ventures. Matthew Barney's stately, ritualistic film takes place mostly on the Nisshin Maru, a Japanese whaling ship afloat in Nagasaki Bay. A good part of the film follows Mr. Barney and Bjork, who are welcomed aboard the ship as Occidental guests and undergo elaborate preparations for a traditional Shinto wedding ceremony. Their union, however ecstatic, quickly leads to a solemn, stylized Liebestod that embodies the film's depiction of life as a series of passages in a relentless cycle of creation and destruction. Like Mr. Barney's Cremaster Cycle, Drawing Restraint 9 is a cinematic component of a larger exhibition that will embrace videos, sculptures, drawings and photographs. The complexities of such a multimedia work will perhaps be best scrutinized by art critics and historians. Working as a mostly nonverbal series of interconnected images with a soundtrack composed by Bjork, the film represents a significant advance from Cremaster Cycle. - Stephen Holden, The New York Times
