And in a project that began in 2024\, Cates\, hi s wife and collaborator\, Cindy Connolly\, along with friend and writer Da vid Bjerklie\, selected images for this show. It was a process that took m ore than a year\; the sheer variety of the images made selection a dauntin g\, but fascinating challenge. \nHow do photographs shape our perceptions of the passage of time? How much of a photo’s value is intent\, how much is context\, how much is interpretation? As Cates\, Connolly\, and Bjerkl ie began to compare and evaluate which images were “best” or “most i nteresting\,” they found there were no simple answers. Photos that one w eek were immediately put into the “absolutely must include” category w ould often be reconsidered and moved into the “probably not” category. And vice versa. It seemed like a crazily arbitrary project at times.  Bu t that probably should not have been a surprise\, given the nature of the images. In the Q&A that accompanies this exhibition\, Cates and Connolly m ake this point perfectly\; above all\, their aim is to stimulate conversat ion and new perspectives on what can be seen in the most ordinary of snaps hots. \n  \nCurtis Wade Cates\, a native of Lubbock\, Texas\, is a musici an\, street photographer\, collector of street art\, amateur archivist and former network news crew member. He has been a documentary producer (Peac e Through Understanding: The 1964/65 New York World’s Fair\, Tex and Gen e)\; public access TV producer and star (Hillbilly Peckers’ Barbecue TV Hour)\; and video editor (Ramones: Around the World\, Kelly Lamb’s Geish a Girl and Origami). He co-created video support for such exhibits as Marg ot Fonteyn in America: A Celebration at the New York Public Library for th e Performing Arts at Lincoln Center\, Ukulele Fever and Pedal to the Metal : A History of Children’s Pedal Cars\, Stamford Art Museum\, and Milt Hi nton: A Memorial Exhibition of His Jazz Photographs 1938-86\, Flushing Tow n Hall). Curtis also co-curated a show on art and industry at the 1964/65 World’s Fair for the Queens Museum of Art and restored and archived epis odes of Marc Miller and Paul Tshinkel’s ART/new york interviews with suc h artists as Jean-Michel Basquiat\, Robert Mapplethorpe and Keith Haring. In 2012\, Curtis co-curated The Coloring Book at Manhattan’s ABC No Rio. More than 100 artists interpreted pages of a Masterpieces coloring book w hich Curtis had found on a radiator in the Lower East Side building where he lived. \nCindy Connolly Cates\, native of Omaha\, has worked as a news paper reporter\, as well as for Time Inc. publications in New York City a nd People Inc. in Des Moines. She is currently focusing primarily on book editing projects. In 2023\, Cates and Connolly curated the Rodeo Coloring Book exhibit at the Old Feed Store gallery in Bassett\, Nebraska\, an homa ge to the late rodeo rider Casey Jochem. \nDavid Bjerklie grew up in North Dakota and since 1984 has been a reporter\, writer and editor for TIME Ma gazine\, TIME For Kids\, and TIME Special Editions. He has written on a br oad range of science\, environment and medicine topics\, with special emph asis in recent years on mental health\, language\, animal intelligence\, t he nature of hope\, the character of facts\, and the psychology of being w rong. He has been a Knight Science Journalism Fellow at M.I.T.\, a Rosalyn n Carter Mental Health Journalism Fellow\, two-time grant recipient at the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings in Germany\, and a National Science Founda tion Media Fellow at McMurdo and South Pole Stations in Antarctica.

Both construct domestic interiors t hat balance familiarity with ambiguity\, using deep phthalo blues\, burnt burgundies\, and ultramarine purples as near-blacks that carry the eye thr ough the exhibition. Renbarger builds unreal spaces from Photoshopped coll ages using AI-generated imagery as foundations for her oil paintings. With out the limiting specifics of a pre-existing space\, the imagery can be le d by feeling\, allowing something impossible to take on the atmosphere of memory and feel remembered without ever having existed. Hinrichs achieves a similar feeling from a different direction\, instead projecting images o f real spaces into lived interiors\, capturing and reworking those interse ctions through embroidery and paint\, forcing disparate perspectives toget her. Her work overlaps and collides images of the real until they begin to lose focus. Together\, the work uses shadows to come to terms with the li mits of what can be understood and what only needs to be accepted. Not eve rything needs to be brought into the light to change the way we understand what is in front of us.\n\n \n\nAbout the Artists\n\nAlex Renbarger and M addie Hinrichs are Lincoln\, Nebraska-based visual artists whose work uses domestic space and color to explore emotional and psychological complexit ies. Hinrichs received her MFA from the University at Albany and has exhib ited nationally\, with work featured in New American Paintings\, The Woven Tale Press\, and other publications. Renbarger received her MFA in Painti ng and Drawing from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln\, exhibits region ally and nationally\, and focuses much of her professional practice on tea ching painting\, drawing\, color theory\, and professional practice. Commu nity is central to both artists\, especially through their work at LUX Cen ter for the Arts in Lincoln.\n\n \n\nInstagram: @alex_renbarger_art · @mp.hinrichs LAST-MODIFIED:20260910T062904Z LOCATION:Dr. C.C. and Mabel L.

NOT E: The museum stays open until 8 p.m. on Thursdays. \n\n\n\nWorking across drawing\, sculpture\, photography\, and installation\, Barnette mines bot h personal narratives and collective histories\, exploring how the two int ersect and diverge over the course of one’s life. Her exhibition in the CAP Gallery centers on a recording she discovered on a doorbell security c amera. In the short black-and-white video\, the artist’s father is seen removing helium balloons from the trunk of a car. As he wrangles the infla tables – a gift for the artist’s mother – a single heart-shaped ball oon floats away without his notice\, prompting a bewildered search of the vehicle. Upon reviewing the footage\, Barnette recognized that an easily o verlooked episode had many stories to tell about gestures of affection\, a bout bearing witness to everyday life\, and about the transformation of a fleeting moment into the stuff of family lore.

The title points to the nature of the work itself: Pieces that emerged from sustained studi o practice\, gathered here as a kind of personal inventory\, objects that carry the accumulation of a long creative life. The exhibition runs throug h Sept. 26. Note: The museum closes one hour early on Sundays at 6 p.m. \n \n\n\nStatom works by cutting\, painting\, and assembling sheets of plate glass\, gluing them together into large-scale sculptural forms—chairs\, ladders\, houses\, wall-mounted constructions—and sandblasting their sur faces into canvases for color and line. Found objects enter the work along the way\, adding texture and narrative. The resulting pieces are at once structural and painterly\, drawing from the gestural energy of Abstract Ex pressionism and the economy of Minimalism without settling comfortably int o either tradition.
