stereotypes, and the voluntary sharing of personal data. She creates
public interventions and durational performances which she documents
using photography, video and GPS. Berkeley is assistant professor at
Nebraska Wesleyan University.
Working across media,

Born in Houston, Texas, Neal received her BA at the Louisville School of Art at Washington State University and her MFA at Virginia Commonwealth University. A recipient of the NEA Sculpture Award, Neal currently teaches drawing and sculpture at the University of Nebraska—Lincoln.
Josh Johnson draws upon Post Minimalist notions and a scrounger’s resourcefulness to create sculptures that navigate traditional processes and commonplace materials. Johnson earned his BFA from the University of North Dakota and his MFA from the University of Nebraska—Lincoln. His work has been featured in exhibitions at venues including Manifest Gallery, Cincinnati; Rosalux Gallery, Minneapolis; and the Sioux City Art Center, Iowa. Johnson currently teaches at the University of Nebraska—Lincoln and Nebraska Wesleyan University.
Through 3D printing, animation, programming, sculpture, and sound, among many other outlets,
Jamie Burmeister explores his conscious experience of the world. His work has been featured in exhibitions at venues including the Des Moines Art Center, Iowa; the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, Omaha; Akron Art Museum, Ohio; and Sheldon Museum of Art, Lincoln, NE.
