The Nevada Museum of Art will mount a major mid-career survey exhibition of Bert’s work, accompanied by a 200+ page catalog. Bert works at the forefront of cultural and technological innovation and his artwork gives voice to people who have been marginalized, silenced, and overlooked. This mid-career survey includes artworks in a variety of traditional and contemporary media that are drawn from the entirety of Bert’s career, as well as new works produced exclusively for this exhibition.
