'Flow,' Sheldon Statewide Exhibit, Explores Water as Subject of Art
Before embarking on a 14-month tour of galleries across Nebraska, the 2007-2008 Nebraska Statewide exhibition, "Flow," opens in May at Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. An opening reception for the new exhibition will be from 5 to 7 p.m. May 4, at the Sheldon, 12th and R streets. The public is invited to this free event.
Symbolizing purity, sustenance, tranquility, power, movement and continuity, water is a source of life as well as destruction and death. Its surface serves as a metaphor for self-reflection and contemplation. Humans rely on water and take it for granted. We pollute it, misuse it and fight over it. It is easily accessible and inexpensive to some while nearly out of reach to others. more...

MARY RIEPMA ROSS MEDIA ARTS CENTER
The Host, The Animation Show Play at the Ross
UNL's Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center presents The Host and The Animation Show. Both films will run through May 10.
The talk of the 2006 Cannes International Film Festival, The Host, the latest film from critically acclaimed visionary director Bong Joon-ho, has already garnered a substantial amount of international buzz. Utilizing state-of-the-art special effects courtesy of a creative partnership between Weta Workshop (King Kong, The Lord of the Rings) and The Orphanage (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Sin City), The Host is equal parts creature-feature thrill ride and poignant human drama.
The Animation Show is an annual feature-length compilation of the best animated short films from around the world, exclusively curated by Mike Judge (Office Space, "Beavis and Butt-Head," "King of the Hill") and Academy Award nominated animator Don Hertzfeldt (Billy's Balloon, Rejected, The Meaning of Life). The Animation Show launched in 2003, making it the first festival of animation created and produced with actual animators at the helm. A sister series of high quality Animation Show DVDs now supplement the theatrical tour with additional insights and brand new lineups of films - while the main Show remains a unique and unforgettable annual program that is usually gone forever once it is out of theaters.
