The Marjorie Barrick Museum on the UNLV campus has always been a container for feeling. Every work of art it features holds multiple complex themes and ideations. The most recent exhibition, The Emotional Show, brings these already present factors to the forefront, a gambit of sentiment forming a panorama of emotional landscapes. In the panoply of sensations in attendance, fear and its corollaries present themselves boldly. The work in this show has become pronounced in relevance since the December 6 UNLV campus shooting that had the museum staff sheltering in place with terror and uncertainty.

Fifth-generation Nevadan Bo Bernhard is vice president of economic development and a professor at UNLV and served as the inaugural research director at the UNLV International Gaming Institute. His great great grandfather was a card dealer in Dust Bowl-era Texas and Oklahoma who got tired of ending up on the wrong side of the law while working and moved to Las Vegas. His own family’s story, Bernhard says, is an example of how gambling and tourism have resulted in many different people deciding to live and work in Las Vegas, and these days, “the stuff attracting people is more mainstream. The NFL is something that’s beloved, and you can find it in 32 locales across the United States.”

After resounding losses in the lower courts, former United States President Donald Trump’s claim of immunity from prosecution for trying to overturn his 2020 election loss now heads to the Supreme Court, a key development likely to further delay his trial as he again runs for re-election. The nation’s highest court will only hear arguments during the week of April 22 after an appeals court on 6 February unanimously rejected his claim that he was shielded from criminal prosecutions over actions taken while in office.
