"The Omaha Diner" by Paul Renner and "Diviner" by Adam Frelin
The Bemis | 724 South 12th Street | Opening May 1st from 6pm to 9pm
Paul Renner's exhibition The Omaha Diner is a presentation of art objects and nose-to-tail cooking, which culminates in a six course array of culinary delights served at two dinner celebrations to a total of 160 guests.
Adam Frelin shot the short film DIVINER while in residence at Bemis Center during the summer of 2008. That summer's tumultuous weather — tornadoes, thunderstorms, floods and a hurricane — provides the backdrop for Joe, the film's protagonist, who has a special interest in foretelling and reporting weather.
Both artists will speak during a gallery talk on Saturday, May 2nd at noon. For more information, please visit http://www.bemiscenter.org.

"A Vital Few" | New work by Shane Bainbridge
RNG Gallery | 1915 Leavenworth | through May 9th
"I have chosen to examine consumerism, consumption and the evolution of the global markets as it effects diversified cultural existences for several years now. I find it especially intriguing to ponder the future course of a slowly homogenizing global population, as the ends of the earth creep closer to one another through advances in communication, transportation and technology."
-- Shane Bainbridge
