The Bemis | 724 South 12th Street | December 12, 2008 – February 21, 2009
Here I Am and Nowhere Else: Portraits of Care is an exhibition of portraits of caregivers and patients resulting from a collaborative research effort involving Mark Gilbert and Drs. Virginia Aita and William Lydiatt. Over two years as an artist-in-residence at the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC), Scottish artist Mark Gilbert engaged in an expansive and subtly radical project at the intersection of art and medicine. His remarkably sensitive portraits form a powerful and singular body of work that reveals new relationships between health and illness, patients and caregivers.
December 11 - Project Introduction and Reception featuring Mark Gilbert, Ted Kooser and Malorie Maddox at the Joslyn Art Museum from 7pm to 10pm
December 12 - Opening Reception with the Artist at the Bemis Center from 6pm to 9pm
