SUMMARY:Bauhaus Imaginista - Collected Research
DESCRIPTION:Jeremy Efroymson Gallery\n“Bauhaus Imaginista” is a major international project that marks the German art school’s 100th anniversary. Operational from 1919 to 1933\, Bauhaus is famous for the approach to design that combined high art and industry. This exhibition rethinks the school from a global perspective\, and reads its entanglements against a century of geopolitical change. \nThe exhibition presents the 4 Gegenstande (Objects) in order to communicate the essential elements of bauhaus imaginista.\n“The Bauhaus Manifesto” (1919) is shown through a specially commissioned essay film\, exploring the hybrid and transnational influences that shaped its conception and the school’s origins. Marcel Breuer’s collage ein Bauhaus film (1927) was reproduced in the Bauhaus Journal No. 1\, an edition of the journal will be reprinted and displayed in the gallery as a stacked multiple available for audiences to take away. Paul Klee’s “Carpet” drawing will be shown in reproduction on a study table detailing the artist’s North African journeys. Kurt Schwerdtfeger’s “Reflective Light Game” is shown through a film projection. \nPhoto: Paul Klee Rug (kilim)\, (1927); Hans Snoeck Private Collection\, New York \nProject partners:\nGoethe-Institut\, Bauhaus Kooperation\, Haus der Kulturen der Welt. \nFunded by:\nDie Beauftragte der Bundesregierung für Kultur und Medien\, Auswärtiges Amt\, Kulturstiftung des Bundes. \nOn the occasion of 100 Jahre bauhaus (100 Years of Bauhaus). \nAdmission is free\nVISIT US\nMonday-Friday\, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.\nSaturday 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.\nTube is also open until 10 p.m. each First Friday.\nClosed Holidays

SUMMARY:The Name of the Machine from the Moon
DESCRIPTION:An installation of sound\, image and time travel by Toby Kaufmann-Buhler\, centering around the inventor Richard Jordan Gatling and a radio play written by literary critic and philosopher Walter Benjamin. \nThe inventor Richard Jordan Gatling (1818-1903) made a home and started a family with Jemima Sanders in Indianapolis in the mid-1850s. He is most well-known for the early machine gun he invented\, to which he gave his name. The design for this gun began with farm equipment (also of his design)\, then took shape as a complete design and went into production during the 1860s in Indianapolis; the Gatling Gun Company was also formed and headquartered in the city during this time. Currently\, the only publicly extant evidence of Gatling’s life (and complicated legacy) in Indianapolis is in the form of a large grave memorial for his family in Crown Hill Cemetery. \nWalter Benjamin (1892-1940) was a literary critic\, essayist and\nphilosopher born in Berlin\, Germany; he spent most of his early life in Germany\, and subsequently he lived itinerantly throughout Europe. Benjamin had a complicated and largely unfruitful relationship with the German academic establishment\, and resulting from this and the scattered nature of his work in WWII-era Europe\, his writings (which have had a large impact on studies in the humanities and the arts) have been mostly published posthumously. His scripted work for the German radio during the years 1927-1933 has only recently been translated and published in English. \nBoth Richard Jordan Gatling and Walter Benjamin are relations in the artist’s family; as such the work presented here seeks to explore what connections can be made between them. \nwww.self-surveillance.tumblr.com \nThis project is made possible by support of the Indiana Arts Commission.

SUMMARY:Yvette Mayorga-High Maintenance
DESCRIPTION:Yvette Mayorga’s multi-media installation High Maintenance is a flamboyantly chilling revelation\, offering unsettling insights into how the forces of violence\, make-believe\, and consumerism infiltrate the contemporary immigrant experience\, and subvert our understanding of identity. \nDrawing inspiration from the politics of America’s southern border with Mexico\, her own life as a first generation Latinx-American\, and her parents’ often dangerous experiences as immigrants in the 1970s\, Mayorga’s work examines how pain and uncertainty are covered with a veneer of celebration. \nHigh Maintenanceconjures up an absurdist\, Rococo Candy Land\, where frivolity intersects with fear\, as soldiers and ICE agents come face to face with quinceanera cakes\, white swans\, and Polly Pocket adventure sets. \nEvery aspect of Mayorga’s built world is adorned with spectacular\, rapacious iconography. Monumental fashion accessories and gendered toys interrogate the true meaning of “status\,” while decadent\, Colonial aesthetics remind us how fragile national identity is\, and how frequently it depends on appearances. \nIs this a place of joy or fear? Does it welcome us in all our diversity\, or demand our assimilation? Like the guileless inhabitants of Mayorga’s thickly impastoed paintings\, the second we enter this uncanny\, celebratory-looking tableau\, we realize we are caught between a nightmare and a dream. \nIn partnership with Nopal Cultural and University of Indianapolis. \nMade possible by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts\, Christ Church Cathedral\, The Arts Council of Indianapolis\, Managed Health Services – MHS\,and Sun King Brewing Company. \nYvette Mayorga lives and works in Chicago. She earned her MFA in Fiber and Material Studies from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2016. Recent solo exhibitions include the Lubeznik Center for the Arts\, EXPO Chicago 2018\, The Vincent Price Art Museum\, The Chicago Cultural Center\, and The National Museum of Mexican Art. Her work has been featured in Hyperallergic\, The Guardian\, Art News\, and Teen Vogue\, among others.
