Artist to speak at KU

Kansas University’s Visiting Artist Series opens this year with Rockne Krebs, a light artist and sculptor, who will give a lecture Thursday.

Krebs, a KU alumnus, produced the first three-dimensional laser art installation in 1968 and is considered a pioneer in light artistry.

He will speak at 4 p.m. at the Spencer Museum of Art auditorium; the free lecture is open to the public. Krebs also will meet with KU art students.
