“Czech Memories: Ethnicity and History Preserved in the Built Environment.”
Great Plains Art Museum will present an exhibition of black and white photographs by Jean Lewis titled “Czech Memories: Ethnicity and History Preserved in the Built Environment.” The exhibit runs March 5 through April18, 2010 and coincides with “Czech and Slovak Americans: International Perspectives from the Great Plains,” the 36th Interdisciplinary Symposium sponsored by the Center for Great Plains Studies. The exhibition features scenes from Wilber, Nebraska and other immigrant communities throughout Nebraska.
Jean Lewis has been photographing Nebraska for over 20 years and is often compelled by history and ethnic connections. Lewis notes that this exhibition brings together two of her more recent obsessions, “the ethnic past and present of Nebraska [and] rural cemeteries.” Stylized architectural elements in gravestones, cemetery gates, and storefront shops enforce the strong connection to European roots that residents of these Great Plains communities share. With each photograph, the artist will include her personal notes as well as a history or significance of the place depicted.

Nebraska Gone Crazy!
Crazy Quilts from Nebraska Museums
This exhibit of crazy quilts features thirty quilts, in two rotations of fifteen each, from thirteen Nebraska museums; ample proof that Nebraskan's were as crazy about crazy quilts as the rest of the country. The quilts in this exhibit range from fine works of art to utilitarian bed covers, but all are beautiful in their own way and we hope you enjoy them.
Saving Memories
"When This You See, Remember Me." To remember and to be remembered are nearly universal human desires. But the ways people use to document their pasts and send messages to the future vary widely. From tribal stories depicted on buffalo hide to Facebook pages flashed on computer screens, Nebraskans have created many memorable mementos. Saving Memories: Scrapbooks, Photo Albums, Home Movies, and Ledger Drawings offers a glimpse at Nebraskans' commemorative efforts.

Christopher Schneberger - The Strange Case of Dr. Addison and the Crosswell Twins
March 1 - April 30, 2010
My interest has long been in creating compelling and elusive images with a surrealist narrative. I began using stereo photography to further immerse the viewer in that narrative. Simultaneously the concept of my work has evolved into more fully developed stories embracing the supernatural. The Strange Case of Dr. Addison and the Crosswell Twins centers on a pair of twin sisters in 1908 Chicago, one of whom has died mysteriously but appears to her surviving sibling in spirit form. A photographer, Dr. Charles Addison, inadvertently captures the spirit of the deceased girl with his camera and then sets out to investigate the phenomenon. -Christopher Schenberger
Christopher Schneberger is an artist in Chicago who teaches photography at Columbia College and the Evanston Art Center. His recent exhibition venues include Printworks Gallery in Chicago, Dorsky Gallery in New York City, El Camino College in California, and College for Creative Studies in Detroit. He is twice recipient of an Illinois Arts Council individual artist grant, and twice winner of the Paul Wing award for best stereo theater presentation. His work was recently the cover story for PhotoEd magazine's issue on stereo photography. His work has been reviewed by The Chicago Tribune, The Chicago Sun-Times, and The Village Voice.
Opening Reception:
Reception for Christopher Schneberger's exhibition: Friday April 2 6:00-8:00 pm; Gallery talk with the artist at 7:00 pm.
