Placemakers is an ongoing art exhibition at the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts in Omaha, which features the works of nine artists, who have been chosen for their active involvement in creating interventionist and transformative art. Working with multiple media (video, photography, installation, sculpture and digital forms), each artist brings his or her creative vision to life by occupying and re-imagining a specific site.
Curated by Hesse McGraw, the exhibition includes seven new commissions, and spans 12,000 square feet of the Bemis Center’s first floor, even extending beyond the interior of the gallery.
Visit the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts website for more details.
