During regular public hours (10 am to 4 pm) on Saturday and Sunday, February 24 and 25, anyone with a valid college ID will receive free
tickets to Word/Play.
The first major exhibition featuring Ed Ruscha in his home state of Nebraska,
Word/Play
brings together prints, photographs, and artist books dating from the 1960s through
2014, complemented by a selection of major paintings. An important early figure in
Conceptual Art, Ruscha deftly combines imagery and text. At turns poignant, provocative,
and confounding, Ruscha’s use of the written word is a signature element of his work.
Word/Play is a ticketed exhibition: General public adults: $10; (Thursday evening pricing, 4-8 pm: $5 for general public adults); $5 for college students with a valid ID (tickets for those with a UNMC student ID are free); Youth ages 17 and younger: Free; Joslyn Members: Free
