The Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts presents I don’t know you like that: The Bodywork of Hospitality, a group exhibition featuring 18 international artists exploring corporeal hospitality, from December 9, 2021 through March 20, 2022.

The exhibition is supported, in part, by the UNO Medical Humanities/Ted Kooser Center for Health Humanities, The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Canada Council for the Arts, Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec, Humanities Nebraska, Institut français—Paris, Nebraska Arts Council/Nebraska Cultural Endowment, and Omaha Steaks.

I don’t know you like that: The Bodywork of Hospitality invites visitors to consider how hospitality has simultaneously circumscribed what we think bodies are, what we imagine they can do, how we feel they relate, whom we believe they can encounter, and ultimately, how they engage with each other and in the world. The exhibition explores these questions in space by weaving together open-ended experiential connections between works in a range of media, from painting, sculpture, textile, installation and performance to lens- and time-based practices.
