SUMMARY:iMOCA's Museum of Real and Odd
DESCRIPTION:The truth is out there. And so is the art. Starting Feb. 3\, a partnership with the Indianapolis Museum of Contemporary Art (iMOCA) brings the work of 13 contemporary artists exploring the idea of UFOs and the paranormal to Tube Factory (1125 Cruft St.) in its expanded gallery space in the factory’s former lower-level garage. \niMOCA’s Museum of Real and Odd\, curated by Jeremy Efroymson\, is a commissioned exhibit with artists from around the country making new work for the show. After an open call for submissions received 250 proposals\, Efroymson selected the 13 artists: Nayda Collazo-Llorens in collaboration with Ander Monson\, Scott Raymond & Heather Abels\, Jennifer Scheuer\, Robert Thurlow\, Katy Unger\, Ed Sykes\, Alex Grabiec\, Julio Orta\, Pato Herbert\, Cassandra Klos\, Josh Haines\, and Michael Jordan\, aka Alkemi. \nWhile enthusiastic about all the work\, Efroymson is especially excited about Julio Orta’s piece Museum of Art on the Moon. “It was commissioned for this show and is an interesting concept\,” says Efroymson. “Orta\, originally from Mexico and living in L.A.\, is drawing conceptual architectural plans and has even purchased land for the museum on the moon. I haven’t seen the final piece but I’m looking forward to it. He can continue on with this project after this show.” \nEfroymson feels high-caliber artists are well poised to remove some of the negative associations with the unknown. “The folklore and mythology of the paranormal has really saturated our society\,” he said. “Especially with the ghost hunter shows on television and the prevalence of the topic in movies.  I remember the movie Poltergeist from my childhood\, which really scared me. While we still have scary movies\, I think maybe we now have a more open view to paranormal experiences of a positive nature. I’ve seen shows and artwork that deal with these topics\, but they are not always of the best quality. I wanted to curate a show on these topics with high quality art and artists.” \nThe exhibit comes down April 15. Until then\, visitors can stop by Tube Factory Monday through Friday\, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.\, Saturdays 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and during extended hours for special events. \nImage: Pato Hebert\, Oscillator in Scott State Park\, From the series: In\, If Not Always Of\, Archival pigment prints\, 39.5” x 26.3” \,2014-15 \nAbout Jeremy Efroymson: Jeremy is an artist\, philanthropist\, arts activist and advocate for small grassroots organizations.

SUMMARY:Dr. Jeffrey Meldrum-Discovery Channel expert and Sasquatch author
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Jeffrey Meldrum\, an expert on foot morphology and locomotion in primates\, will give a talk\, answer questions and sign books. His appearance is in conjunction with Tube Factory’s Hairy Man exhibit. Meldrum contributed his field evidence\, including special hand and foot casts\, to the exhibit. Admission to the talk is $5 \nMeldrum is a Full Professor of Anatomy and Anthropology and a Professor of the Department of Anthropology at Idaho State University. He is also Adjunct Professor of Occupational and Physical Therapy. \nMeldrum received his B.S. in zoology specializing in vertebrate locomotion at Brigham Young University (BYU) in 1982\, his M.S. at BYU in 1984 and a Ph.D. in anatomical sciences\, with an emphasis in biological anthropology\, from Stony Brook University in 1989 (then referred to as State University of New York at Stony Brook). He held the position of postdoctoral visiting assistant professor at Duke University Medical Center from 1989 to 1991. Meldrum worked at Northwestern University’s Department of Cell\, Molecular and Structural Biology for a short while in 1993 before joining the faculty of Idaho State University where he currently teaches. \nMeldrum authored Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science which is the first book to be written by an academic and provides an objective look at the field. \nMeldrum has also published numerous academic papers ranging from vertebrate evolutionary morphology\, the emergence of bipedal locomotion in modern humans and Sasquatch (Bigfoot) and is a co-editor of a series of books on paleontology. Meldrum also coedited From Biped to Strider: The Emergence of Modern Human Walking with Charles E. Hilton. He edited the textbook From Biped to Strider (Springer\, 2004). \nMeldrum has attracted media attention due to his interest in Bigfoot. Skeptic Brian Dunning writes that “The work of responsible scientists like Dr. Meldrum is exactly what true skeptics should be asking the Bigfoot community for\, not criticizing him for it.”\nMeldrum was present at a 2011 conference in Siberia to discuss the Russian wildman. He acknowledged that the results of the Russian field trip to the cave site were most likely fraudulent. He suggested that the supposed evidence found was simply an attempt by local government officials to drum up publicity.\nMeldrum has also studied and commented upon issues of genetics and the Book of Mormon including his book Who Are the Children of Lehi? written with Trent D. Stephens. \nMade possible by the Efroymson Family Fund
