Sheldon display
features leading
concrete artists
by Carolyn Hull
"Concrete artists have taken art one step
further, functional elements became content
instead of neutral forms, and boundaries
between disciplines disappear," according to
UNL assistant professor Mark Cory.
Cory, one of the organizers of the current
display of concrete art at Sheldon, has invited
Mary Ellen Solt and Ferdinand Kriwet, leading
concrete artists, to present their works.
Solt will be giving a lecture-demonstration
Thursday at 2:30 p.m. in the Sheldon Art
Gallery auditorium.
According to Cory, it will be somewhat of
aW.r.i..i...ni. I I
an introductory lecture for those not
acquainted with concrete art, and will also
include works by various concrete artists.
Kriwet is in the United States to gather
material on the election process. He will visit
Lincoln for a program Oct. 17 at 7 p.m.
According to Cory, Kriwet works primarily in
sound and films. He will be showing two films,
Appollovision and Teletext. Apollovision deals
with the first moon launch.
Cory said the term "concrete" was coined
because it deals with the concrete parts of
communication words that are used not for
their meaning, but for their sound.
"They use all the things not usually
exploited in art. Things like the paper, its size,
color, and texture are all considered.
Elements of concrete art go back as far as
the 17th century to religious poems printed in
the form of a cross or other religioussymbols,
according to Cory.
Concrete art as presently defined started in
the 1950's in Brazil and hit a peak in the 60's.
Cory added that a redefinition of the
movement is going on and perhaps another
term may come into use from this.
This biggest objection concrete artists have
against traditional art, according to Cory, is
that it uses an outdated vocabulary which no
longer has connotations useful to 20th century
life.
'They feel that things like the normal lyric
poem somehow doesn't work anymore because
we're a generation who has been on the moon,
and done things like Hiroshima and yet is trying
to communicate with a set of connotations of
the 19th century. Normal avenues of literary
approach are no longer valid," Cory said.

Ombudsman warns
against rent 'rip-offs'
"One of the most gigantic 'rip-offs' taking place right now
is in the area of landlord-student relations," UNL Ombudsman
Jim Suter said Wednesday.
Speaking to the ASUN Senate, Suter said his office has
received several complaints from students who have had to
forfeit damage or lease deposits when moving out of
off -campus housing
The solution? "Get together, do something," Suter said.
The ombudsman suggested establishing a student's Better
Business Bureau to provide information on how to take
tenants' cases to small claims court.
"With 20,000 students, you can represent a large chunk of
the consumer public," Suter said.
Other ASUN business included appointing student members
to the Student Fee Task Force-four study committees set up
to make recommendations on students fees allocation.
Student appointments to the four task forces are: Mark
Thiesen (chairman) and Mike Berns to the Programming Task
Force; Kathy Strong and Bart Brownell to the Administrative
Task Force; Sam Brower to the University Health Center Task
Force.
With no resolutions brought to the senate floor, ASUN
First Vice President Sam Brower said: "It seems that a
predominant number of resolutions introduced in the senate
are introduced by the executives or the executive committee."
He urged senators to ask executives for help if they aren't
certain about procedures of writing resolutions.
