The Spring 2022 Hixson-Lied Visiting Artist & Scholar Lecture Series begins at 5:30 today with photographer Millee Tibbs.
The School of Art, Art History & Design’s Hixson-Lied Visiting Artist & Scholar Lecture Series brings notable artists, scholars and designers to Nebraska each semester to enhance the education of students.
Each lecture takes place at 5:30 p.m. in Richards Hall Rm. 15. The lectures are free and open to the public. The lectures will also be accessible remotely via Zoom.
Milee Tibbs’ work derives from her interest in photography’s ubiquity and the tension between its truth-value and inherent manipulation of reality. Tibbs is an associate professor of photography at Wayne State University.
She holds an M.F.A. in photography from the Rhode Island School of Design. She is the recipient of two MacDowell fellowships, as well as multiple national and international artist residency awards. Her work has been published by the Humble Arts Foundation (New York City) and the Aperture Foundation and is held in the permanent collections of the George Eastman Museum, Detroit Institute of Arts, the Chrysler Museum, the Portland Art Museum and the RISD Museum (Rhode Island School of Design).
