Artists Address Featured Works

Northern Michigan University's DeVos Art Museum will host an artist talk and reception featuring Liz Ward and Robert Ziebell at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 26. The artists will discuss their work currently on display. Their project titled "Across Time and Place" explores the artists' approaches to understanding and interpreting place through multimedia artworks. Their works examine the nuance of place and delve into the richness of our world today and in past periods.

Ziebell's career spans 30 years. His work has been exhibited in numerous U.S. museums, galleries and film festivals. He is a lens-based artist who creates new visual languages by bridging still and motion imagery.

Ward is a multimedia artist who explores the meaning of landscape through layers of human, natural and environmental history, memory and experience. Her work has been featured in more than 200 group shows and more than 30 solo exhibitions in galleries, alternative spaces and museums.
