Leslie Iwai is an artist who lives in Omaha and works in a variety of mediums, including performance, performance installation, and sculpture, among others. In this segment, we go to the MONA (the Museum of Nebraska Art in Kearney) where Iwai did a four-month-long performance installation based in part on the classic story of Jack and the Beanstalk. The installation explores how some of the fable’s themes connect with contemporary issues.
