'Candy Curls' by Will Cotton, 2005CASPER: 'I Want Candy'American artists’ fascination with sweets is the focus of the Nicolaysen Art Museum & Discovery Center’s next exhibition “I Want Candy: The Sweet Stuff in American Art."Most of the 55-piece show appears “sugar coated,” but often that beauty conceals need. It is this longing — the Proustian tinge of nostalgic regret — which gives much of the art its impact, said to the exhibition’s organizers, the Trust for Museum Exhibitions in Washington, DC and the Hudson River Museum in Yonkers, NY. “‘I Want Candy’ is a seductive exhibition of the top contemporary artists in the nation,” Nicolaysen curator Lisa Hatchadoorian said. “The artists are exploring a decadent subject matter and one that has far-reaching implications for our health as a populace.”* When: Shows through JAN. 3.* Where: Nicolaysen Art Museum, 400 E. Collins* Contemporary Curry Lecture Series: The lecture, "Confections, Kinkade and Consumerism," will be at 6 p.m. DEC. 3. The lecture series brings together unrelated topics dealing with art and food and then allows the audience to make connections between the two. Cost is free for museum members, $5 for nonmembers.* Info: Call 235-5247 or visit www.thenic.org.
