LUX Center for the Arts presents UNL Ceramics professor, Margaret Bohl’s “Arrangements” on Friday, February 7 from 5-8pm. Bohls creates hand-built porcelain ceramics that are both highly functional and beautifully decorative. She works expertly with soft slabs to create her functional wares, often integrating highly textural surfaces, and always attentive to the interior volume of the piece.
Also opening on February 7 is an exhibition of works from the Gladys M. LUX Historical Collection. The new exhibition is composed of humorous figures and celebratory festivals and is called Carnies, Comedy and Clowns. Two woodcuts, one Japanese and other American, an etching and thirteen lithographs by fifteen artists comprise this exhibition including work from Jean Charlot, Jon Steuart Curry, and Pablo Picasso. It will be on view in the Gladys M. Lux Historical Gallery on the second floor of the LUX Center for the Arts through May 4. Gladys M. Lux Print and Historical Collections curator, Susan Soriente will be speaking about the exhibition on Friday, February 7.
