Join Toby Jurovics, Joslyn's Chief Curator and Holland Curator of American Western Art, in the special exhibition
Dirt Meridian for a conversation with prairie bush pilot, Doug Dean.
Participants to this program must obtain a ticket prior to entering the
exhibition. Tickets are free for Joslyn members, Creighton University
students, faculty and staff, and all other college students with ID.
PLEASE NOTE: The special exhibition galleries can accommodate up to 40
people for this gallery talk (more than 40 makes it difficult for the
group to see and hear the talk). A second group will be formed as needed
for a repeat of the talk at 2:30 pm. We appreciate your understanding.
Dean's experience and passion for flying and photography, combined with a chance meeting and resultant friendship with Andrew Moore, have culminated in the collaboration on view in Dirt Meridian.
Doug Dean grew up in the Nebraska Sandhills and was inspired from a young age by their natural beauty and remoteness. Dean has logged over 11,000 hours as a commercial pilot, flying in some of the most remote locations in the U.S. (occasionally accompanied by his border collie, Dan Tucker). While he has always considered photography a mere hobby, some of his work has still managed to find its way into magazines and television; most recently
Pilot Magazine The New York Times, and CNN TV's "Inside Man."
