SUMMARY:Neil Cain: Shadow's Prism
DESCRIPTION:“These works are a reaction to what I view as a consciousness bias in our culture towards ordered states of being and thinking. I believe this bias contributes to individualistic resource management\, social division\, and centralized state control\, and that the artist must counteract these forces by presenting harmonious alternatives. I paint to present the beauty of ordered and non-ordered states interacting. I see each as integral to the full expression of the other and essential to true understanding.” \nNeil Cain is an Indianapolis-native who began painting in 2002. His collections pull inspiration from his work in photography\, utilizing movement\, exposure\, layering\, and an increasingly polarized dialogue between ordered and chaotic elements. Trained as a music composer\, Neil uses similar foundational concepts in his painting by working in harmonic terms\, with ratios of frequencies juxtaposed against one another with or without bounding. ‘Form in flux’ and ‘magnetism of coherence’ form the conceptual framework for his most recent collections. He lives and works in Bloomington\, Indiana with his wife\, Jenny Ollikainen\, their cat daughter\, Little Cow\, and many plants friends. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally. \nJoin us for First Friday in January to catch the opening reception of Shadow’s Prism from 6-10pm. \nThis show will be available from January 3-24. \nGuichelaar Gallery\n1135 Cruft Street Indianapolis\, IN 46203\nAvailable by appointment

SUMMARY:Social Alchemy Public Meeting
DESCRIPTION:New Harmony residents are invited to our first public meeting of 2020 to help plan for Social Alchemy\, a series of events connecting New Harmony and Indianapolis! These monthly meet ups in New Harmony invite residents to meet those involved in proposing this project and become part of it! \nNew Harmony\, Indiana brims with art\, history\, architecture\, and a strong sense of place. The impact of past and current efforts within this community have created a town that continues to represent the universal human condition. If Indianapolis is the head of the body of Indiana\, New Harmony is its soul. \nWhat can we in urban Indianapolis learn from rural New Harmony’s social alchemy? Tons. With support of Indiana Humanities and the Efroymson Family fund and our partners — University of Southern Indiana\, Indiana State Museum\, Historic New Harmony\, New Harmony Workingmen’s Institute Central Library\, and lots of individuals –– we will explore\, learn and share how the pursuit of utopia forms places and pursuits. \nWHY IS BIG CAR INVOLVED?\nWe’re fascinated by people who strive for utopia and by intentional communities: Past\, present\, and future. Our overarching goal for the Cruft Street Commons project in Garfield Park is to develop an arts-focused\, socially cohesive block. And a key inspiration is the southwestern Indiana town\, New Harmony — location of multiple and varied utopian experiments. \nTHE PROGRAM\nThis idea started with visits by Big Car Collaborative/Tube Factory artspace curator\, Shauta Marsh\, and artist and writer Jim Walker\, to New Harmony over the past several years and conversations with artist\, writer\, and philanthropist Jeremy Efroymson — who lives\, part-time\, in New Harmony — and New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art director Garry Holstein. It is made possible by Indiana Humanities and The Efroymson Family Fund. \nWHAT WE’RE DOING:\n• An interdisciplinary exhibition at the New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art focused on New Harmony’s visionary civic leader and preservationist Jane Owen (1915–2010).\n• An exhibition at the Tube Factory about the history and art of New Harmony (designed to travel)\, with emphasis on Angel in the Forest and visual interpretations of this lyrical text.\n• A film series of documentaries and feature films related to placemaking experiments.\n• Community meals\, one in New Harmony and one in Garfield Park.\n• A two-day symposium in October 2020 in New Harmony to include philosophers\, writers\, historians\, designers\, architects\, placemakers\, urban and rural city planners\, politicians\, and community organizers.\n• Two Tube Factory exhibitions by Native American artists Elisa Harkins (in 2021) and Wendy Red Star (in 2022): both creative responses to their peoples’ forced dystopias\, with ideas for cultural renewal. \nTHE IMPACT\nThis project explores historical and contemporary examples of utopian experiments\, fictional utopias and dystopias\, and social design projects. It offers a deeper understanding of the relationship between the built environment and social good. \nPROJECT PARTNERS\nUniversity of Southern Indiana: As the administrator of both Historic New Harmony and the New Harmony Gallery\, USI is encouraging staff\, professors\, and students to participate in the project.\nHistoric New Harmony: HNH will host programs\, help to develop the exhibitions\, and help travel the New Harmony exhibition about after its Indianapolis debut.\nNew Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art: The gallery will host the Jane Owen exhibition.\nIndiana State Museum: The museum will be assisting with research\, and help with didactics.\nPattern will be a promotional partner alongside Big Car’s low-power radio station 99.1 WQRT FM.
