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.

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: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.

SUMMARY:Record of Memory
DESCRIPTION:Carl Pope\, Conner Green\, Elisa Harkins\, Osuma James Nakagawa & Yvette Mayorga \nMay 10-June 22 \nRecord of Memory is a survey of artists who are reflecting on existing monuments and fashioning new monuments. At the time a public monument is conceived\, it is a tribute to our cities built by its citizens and dedicated to social progress\, industrial achievement\, civic interest\, patriotism and culture. Works were selected with this idea of monuments in mind by curators Shauta Marsh\, Garry Holstein\, and Jeremy Efroymson as part of Social Alchemy\, a series of exhibitions and events exploring the concepts driving our current ideas of utopia and dystopia. \nMonuments are symbols of hope\, of warning\, of honor\, encountered daily. We often think of them as sculpture or statues but increasingly we are all creating them on the internet in the form of videos\, websites\, even Facebook profiles. Our monuments remind present and future people of what we should be striving for. They reference our current goals of utopia.  Other times they serve as reminders of tragedy/of dystopia\, and what happens when we deviate from our utopic goals\, to help us avoid re-occurrence. \nCarl Pope’s photography pulls us into his experience exploring rural Germany via train. The color process on his work references the multi-colored rainbow\, a symbol of the LGBTQ community. The nuclear reactor\, Mother Mary and the Tin Man give the viewer a new perspective\, both capturing and asking us to reconsider what we believe about these objects and characters by presenting them the way we see standard monuments. \nConner Green’s inverted collage prints resembling schematic drawings investigate the social ramifications of monumental architecture through collages of found materials\, drawings\, and photographs. “I understand ‘architecture’ to refer to more than just the design and decoration of buildings\, but also to how thought or action can make order and meaning out of random space\,” Green says. “My work\, in part\, attempts to excavate those embedded meanings.” The rendered forms do not refer to any extant structures; rather they attempt to portray a kind of typological composite of built forms throughout history. \nMuscogee (Creek) Hymn and The Plain Indians Sign Language video works by Elisa Harkins are monuments in their right.  In Plain Indians Sign Language\, Harkins tells the story of her friend’s death. She uses sign language\, which was invented by indigenous people and adopted by settlers\, to both honor her friend and remind us that ASL came from a people and culture white settlers attempted to destroy. Muscogee (Creek) Hymn asks us to reflect on how song influences our ideas. Creek songs were never taught\, rather learned. The Creek may not know the details of where those hymns came from—common belief is they’re handed down from God himself—but they know what’s important: the people\, the milestones\, and the stories the songs represent. \nIn Osamu James Nakagawa’s work\, Maps\, the landscape often functions as a witness to history and suffering\, as well as a platform to examine conflicts political and personal in nature. The works are rubbings of monuments to the dead erected post WWII throughout Japan. Raised in Tokyo\, Japan\, Nakagawa’s family moved to Houston\, Texas when he was fifteen. As an artist he mines the complicated pasts of both countries\, touching on nationalism\, family\, pop-culture\, tensions between eastern and western ideals\, and war. \nEvery aspect of Yvette 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 of the fragility of national identity\, and how frequently it depends on appearances. Her series Monuments feature sculptures that are an absurdist\, Rococo Candy Land\, where frivolity intersects with fear\, as soldiers and ICE agents come face to face with quinceañera cakes\, white swans\, and Polly Pocket adventure sets. \nA Record of Memory requests that viewers reflect on our public and private monuments. How do they currently embody what our county\, our city\, our neighborhoods\, what we as individuals stand for?  How do we begin to reach a consensus with the current social and political divides? \n\nPhoto: Yvette Mayorga\, US Funds Drug War.

SUMMARY:99.1 WQRT's Rhinestone Country presents Town Mountain
DESCRIPTION:Making their second trip to Duke’s Indy\, do not miss one of our favorite Bluegrass Bands around. \nRaw\, soulful\, and with plenty of swagger\, Town Mountain has earned raves for their hard-driving sound\, their in-house songwriting and the honky-tonk edge that permeates their exhilarating live performances\, whether in a packed club or at a sold-out festival. The hearty base of Town Mountain’s music is the first and second generation of bluegrass spiced with country\, old school rock ‘n’ roll\, and boogie-woogie. It’s what else goes into the mix that brings it all to life both on stage and on record and reflects the group’s wide-ranging influences – from the Grateful Dead’s Jerry Garcia and the ethereal lyrics of Robert Hunter\, to the honest\, vintage country of Willie\, Waylon\, and Merle. The Bend Bulletin’s Brian McElhiney says Town Mountain\, “has serious country and rock ’n’ roll DNA.” Town Mountain features guitarist and vocalist Robert Greer\, banjoist Jesse Langlais\, mandolinist Phil Barker\, fiddler Bobby Britt\, and Zach Smith on bass. \nTown Mountain just finished recording their 6th studio album at Echo Mountain Studios with roots music hero Caleb Klauder producing. Slated to release this Fall\, the album is full of new material and features several guest artists including Tyler Childers who co-wrote one of the songs\, Miles Miller (Sturgill Simpson\, drummer)\, and other friends. Their most recent album\, Southern Crescent (April 1\, 2016) debuted at #4 on the Billboard Bluegrass Chart while staying for ten weeks on the Americana Music Association’s radio chart Top 40\, and widely considered one of the best bluegrass albums of that year.
