The Nerman Museum, alongside Johnson County Community College’s Art History department , hosts the Noon At The Nerman series. Noon at the Nerman is a weekly interdisciplinary program examining works of art on view at the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art or on campus. Students and staff gather at the museum or at other locations around the campus on select Wednesdays at noon, then go to a specific artwork to hear a JCCC  faculty or staff member speak briefly on that work of art.

Listen to Doug Patterson’s Noon at the Nerman Presentation about Dale Eldred’s Galileo’s Garden.

During the talk about, Dr. Patterson’s referenced Prof. Paul Tebbe’s work with the analemma. Since then, they have uncovered a video Prof. Tebbe’s public talk demonstrating the analemma and the overlay he and his students made for the sculpture.
