KANEKO Re•Purpose features work by Bart Vargas and Jamie Burmeister
KHN Alumni Bart Vargas (2007) and Jamie Burmeister (2007) are featured artists in the upcoming gallery exhibition, Re•Purpose, at KANEKO.
June 11, 2019 - August 24, 2019
KANEKO
1111 Jones St. Omaha, NE 68102
"The Re•Purpose season will feature works by local and internationally recognized artists who incorporate recycled or otherwise reinvented materials. From plastic bottles to keyboards, these artists have been inspired by the idea of revitalization, industrialization, and the meaning we place on items––both in art and in our everyday lives. Re•Purpose will explore how the lives of individuals and communities can be re•purposed by showcasing and collaborating with partners who are striving to make Omaha a more unified and sustainable city." (from thekaneko.org/seasons/re•purpose/)
"As far as RePurpose at KANEKO, I am honored and excited to have a major installation of my works included in the exhibition. Its my first Museum show in the United States (that is not affiliated with a University or College), and I'm even more thrilled its in Omaha and Nebraska!" Bart Vargas
Congratulations, Bart and Jamie!
