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:Wildstyle Paschall: Culture\, Indy HipHop Music
DESCRIPTION:Wildstyle Paschall’s multi-media installation “Culture\, Indy Hiphop Music”\, is a captivating look into the unseen counter culture of America’s most popular music genre centered in the capital of a Midwestern city more known for cornfields\, a 500 mile race and various amateur sports. The ever-evolving cultural movement created by people of color exists in Indianapolis\, isolated from much of the financial success and mainstream consumerism seen in larger cities. \nAs a lifelong musician and long time hiphop producer\, Paschall is a product of 1980s and 90s hip hop culture. During a time\nwhen hiphop storytelling\, music\, and culture expanded internationally\, he was concerned that even by 2015 significant accounts of the rich culture created in central Indiana was not being archived to shared with outsiders as well as passed down to future generations. \n“Culture\, Indy Hiphop Music” takes the viewers and puts them on stage with independent hiphop artists performing and creating music to see their passion and dedication to the art through picture and video.

SUMMARY:Aurora PhotoCenter at Tube Factory: Keliy Anderson-Staley
DESCRIPTION:Aurora PhotoCenter officially launches this summer\, joining Indianapolis with an inaugural community-focused workshop and exhibition by renowned tintype artist Keliy Anderson-Staley. \n\nThis exhibition will be open July 5-19 in the Jeremy Efroymson Gallery.\n\n\nIn June 2019\, Anderson-Staley set up her tintype studio at Tube Factory and made 70 tintype portraits over a four-day period. This exhibition showcases portraits made during Anderson-Staley’s visit to Indianapolis\, as well as subjects photographed in other American cities from New York to Cleveland to Houston to San Francisco. A selection of historical tintypes from the collection of the Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites provide context for the modern portraits and show how the medium shaped our identity as a state and nation from photography’s earliest days. \n\n\n\n\n\nTo make a tintype\, a light sensitive collodion emulsion is mixed and poured onto each plate shortly before a portrait is made. Tintypes need long exposure times\, so the subject must remain completely still for up to 30 seconds to produce a sharp image. People sitting for tintypes often don’t smile\, as it is difficult to hold a smile perfectly still for the length of the exposure.\n\n\n \n\n\nUnlike the instantaneous digital selfie of today\, a tintype portrait is an intimate collaboration between the photographer and the sitter\, resulting in a one-of-a-kind portrait and experience. These portraits are rich in atmosphere and detail\, emphasizing an often intense and mesmerizing gaze. Anderson-Staley’s beautifully textured tintype portraits use 19th-century technology to depict the wholeness of what “American” means today.\n\n\n\n\n\nKeliy Anderson-Staley was raised off the grid in Maine\, studied photography in New York City\, and currently lives and teaches photography at the University of Houston in Texas. Her images are in the permanent collections of the Library of Congress\, Cedar Rapids Museum of Art\, Portland Museum of Art (Maine)\, and Museum of Fine Arts-Houston. Her work was published in a solo issue of Light Work’s Contact Sheet and has been shown at the National Portrait Gallery of the Smithsonian\, SFO Museum\, Akron Art Museum\, Bronx Museum of Art\, Southeast Museum of Photography and the California Museum of Photography\, as well as at a number of non-profit art institutions and galleries around the country. In 2016 she completed a major public commission for the city of Cleveland\, producing fifty large-scale portraits for installation in the airport tunnel of the rapid transit line. A book of her portraits\, On A Wet Bough\, is available from Waltz Books. She is represented by the Catherine Edelman Gallery. \n\n\n\nFounded by local artist-photographers\, Adam Reynolds\, Craig McCormick\, and Mary Goodwin\, Aurora Photo Center serves as a creative bridge between artists and the greater photographic community with a regional\, national\, and international perspective. Aurora will be a place where artists meet\, create\, share work\, and find inspiration. \nIn its first year\, Aurora will focus on awareness of photography as a medium for art and social expression. By hosting partnerships and pop-up-style events\, Aurora will work to build a community in central Indiana around the medium of photography through exhibits\, conversations\, and workshops. As Aurora grows and receives non-profit status\, it will establish a dedicated gallery space\, along with darkroom and studio facilities for both community education and working artists. \n“Photography was once a medium permanently documenting history\, family\, and places. Today it is a momentary medium ruled by innuendo\,” says Craig McCormick\, Aurora co-founder. “Through Aurora\, we hope to explore how photography becomes art in fast and slow times.” \nPartnering with Big Car Collaborative in the Garfield Park neighborhood\, Aurora’s inaugural event will feature Anderson-Staley’s ongoing tintype portrait series\, [hyphen] American. Based out of Houston\, TX\, Anderson-Staley has spent the past decade travel- ing the country with a portable 19th century tintype studio capturing a typological portrait survey of the human faces that make up today’s America. Her next stop is Indianapolis\, where she will be holding a tintype workshop and portrait sessions open to the community\, followed by a curated exhibition of her tintype portraits from Indianapolis and beyond. \n“Keliy’s project is an open invitation for Indianapolis to come together in a collective portrait of our city\,” says Aurora co-founder Mary Goodwin. “It gives us a chance to re-examine what it means to be ‘American’ today.”\n[hyphen] American will be on display in the Tube Factory’s Efroymson Gallery July 5-26 with an opening reception on July 5. Keliy Anderson-Staley will be in Indianapolis June 13-16 making tintype portraits. She will host a workshop on tintypes on June 15.
