SUMMARY:Kader Attia- The Body’s Legacies (Part 1: The Objects)
DESCRIPTION:Attia’s recent film The Body’s Legacies (Part 1: The Objects) is an extensive account of testimonies by academics\, scholars\, collectors\, and museum directors from Canada\, the US\, Ivory Coast\, and many other locations\, relating the histories behind bodies and artifacts from the world over. \nThis screening is part of the Bauhaus Imaginista: Collected Research exhibition. \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). \nKader Attia (b. 1970\, France)\, grew up in Paris and in Algeria. Preceding his studies at the École Supérieure des Arts Appliqués Duperré and the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris\, and at Escola Massana\, Centre d’Art i Disseny in Barcelona\, he spent several years in Congo and in South America. \nThe experience with these different cultures\, the histories of which over centuries have been characterised by rich trading traditions\, colonialism and multi-ethnic societies\, has fostered Kader Attia’s intercultural and interdisciplinary approach of research. For many years\, he has been exploring the perspective that societies have on their history\, especially as regards experiences of deprivation and suppression\, violence and loss\, and how this affects the evolving of nations and individuals — each of them being connected to collective memory. \nHis socio-cultural research has led Kader Attia to the notion of Repair\, a concept he has been developing philosophically in his writings and symbolically in his oeuvre as a visual artist. With the principle of Repair being a constant in nature — thus also in humanity —\, any system\, social institution or cultural tradition can be considered as an infinite process of Repair\, which is closely linked to loss and wounds\, to recuperation and re-appropriation. Repair reaches far beyond the subject and connects the individual to gender\, philosophy\, science\, and architecture\, and also involves it in evolutionary processes in nature\, culture\, myth and history. \nIn 2016\, Kader Attia founded La Colonie\, a space in Paris to share ideas and to provide an agora for vivid discussion. Focussing on decolonialisation not only of peoples but also of knowledge\, attitudes and practices\, it aspires to de-compartmentalise knowledge by a trans-cultural\, trans-disciplinary and trans-generational approach. Driven by the urgency of social and cultural reparations\, it aims to reunite which has been shattered\, or drift apart. \nKader Attia’s work has been shown in  group shows and biennials such as the 12thShanghai Biennial; the 12th Gwangju Biennial; the 12th Manifesta\, Palermo; the 57th Venice Biennial; dOCUMENTA(13) in Kassel; Met Breuer\, New York; Kunsthalle Wien; MoMA\, New York; Tate Modern\, London; Centre Pompidou\, Paris; or The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum\, New York — just to name a few. Notable solo exhibitions include “The Museum of Emotion”\, The Hayward Gallery\, London; “Scars Remind Us that Our Past is Real”\, Fundacio Joan Miro\, Barcelona; “Roots also grow in concrete”\, MacVal in Vitry-sur-Seine; „The Field of Emotion“\, The Power Plant\, Toronto; Museum of Contemporary Art\, Sydney; “Repairing the Invisible”\, SMAK\, Ghent; Museum of Contemporary Art\, Sydney; “Sacrifice and Harmony”\, Museum für Moderne Kunst\, Frankfurt; “The Injuries are Here”\, Musée Cantonal des Beaux Arts de Lausanne; “Contre Nature”\, Beirut Art Center; “Continuum of Repair: The Light of Jacob’s Ladder”\, Whitechapel Gallery\, London; and KW Institute for Contemporary Art\, Berlin. \nIn 2016\, Kader Attia was awarded with the Marcel Duchamp Prize\, followed by the Prize of the Miró Foundation\, Barcelona\, and the Yanghyun Art Prize\, Seoul\, in 2017.

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:99.1 WQRT's Rhinestone Country presents The Currys w/Steve Everett
DESCRIPTION:Brought together by family ties and a shared appreciation for folk\, rock\, and roots music\, The Currys are an Americana trio featuring brothers Jimmy and Tommy and cousin Galen Curry. Like many family groups\, their songs are anchored by the sort of elastic\, entwined harmonies that only seem to exist among kin. On their second record\, West of Here\, their songwriting chops match those interlocking voices\, with all three members contributing songs to an album that deals with the constant search for home.

SUMMARY:Artists Talk-Osamu James Nakagawa and Conner Green
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the closing reception of Fences/Imperia and a discussion with Nakagawa and Green. \nAbout the artists: \nOsamu James Nakagawa was born in New York City in 1962 and raised in Tokyo. He returned to the United States\, moving to Houston\, Texas\, at the age of 15. He received a Bachelor of Arts from the University of St. Thomas\, Houston in 1986 and a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Houston in 1993. Currently\, Mr. Nakagawa is the Ruth N. Halls Distinguished Professor of Photography at Indiana University\, where he directs the Center for Integrative Photographic Studies. He lives and works in Bloomington\, Indiana. \nNakagawa is a recipient of the 2009 Guggenheim Fellowship\, the 2010 Higashikawa New Photographer of the Year\, and 2015 Sagamihara Photographer of the Year in Japan. Nakagawa’s work has been exhibited internationally\, solo exhibitions include: Eclipse\, PGI\, Tokyo (2018); Kai\, sepia EYE\, New York (2018); OKINAWA TRILOGY: Osamu James Nakagawa\, Kyoto University of Art and Design (2013);GAMA Caves\, PGI\, Tokyo; Banta: Stained Memory\, Sakima Art Museum\, Okinawa\, Japan (2009); Kai: Osamu James Nakagawa\, SEPIA International Inc.\, New York (2003). \nHis work is included in numerous public collections\, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art; George Eastman Museum; Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography; Museum of Fine Arts\, Houston; Sakima Art Museum\, Okinawa; The Museum of Contemporary Photography Chicago\, Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art\, Indianapolis Museum of Art\, Grand Rapid Museum of Art and others.

He studied art and literature at Indiana University and received his MFA from the University of Wisconsin\, Madison. His work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally. Much of his work combines disciplines\, incorporating found sculptural and print-based elements. His work explores concepts of institutional critique\, myth\, desire\, and master narratives. He finds all of these concepts rife for excavation in the consumer-based material world and the built environment. His process allows for a certain degree of chance or disorder to come into play\, which he believes enables the phenomenal world to speak for itself. \nMade possible by the Arts Council of Indianapolis.

This sensual\, immersive soundscape is a one-night exhibition that includes sound clips of a woman’s sexual responses during pleasurable intimacy with a partner.

SUMMARY:The Designer's Road Map
DESCRIPTION:An honest panel discussion on the pathways for a creative professional\nThe Indianapolis creative community offers a variety of pathways to a career as a design professional. Some are straight\, most are windy and none of them are for the faint of heart. There is no singular experience because our community is made up of a tapestry of traditional ad agencies\, boutique design shops\, freelancers and in-house creative teams. And while we benefit from the array of options\, it can also isolate us to our own experience\, leaving us to make assumptions about what it must be like on the other side. Are all agency gigs 60+ hour workweeks? Do freelancers hang out at coffee shops all day and sip lattes? What is it like to work in-house? When does a side hustle become a business? And what the hell is a boutique design shop anyway? \nWhat if we had the opportunity to have a candid conversation with Indy’s most talented and gracious design leaders to get answers to some of these questions? What if we could dig into the similarities and differences between these pathways and how to know what to expect? More mentorship\, more honesty\, less romanticization\, fewer assumptions. \nPlease join AIGA at The Tube Factory on Oct. 24 for a guided panel discussion that will leave you better educated about your opportunities and more equipped to build the type of creative community that cares for one another. \n—- \nPANELIST\nRyan Hunley // Owner and Art Directory\, 2nd Street Creative \nAmy McAdams-Gonzales //Co-Founder and Designer\, Matinee Creative \nAaron Scamihorn // Principal\, RONLEWHORN Industries \nAnna Saraceno // Product Designer\, Trello \nKatie Clements // Associate Creative Director\, CVR \nMODERATOR\nKolby McElvain // Senior Designer\, High Alpha \nSpecial thanks to our Presenting Sponsor:\nArtisan is a boutique recruitment agency that has a unique approach to making the right connections – and they’ve honed\, mastered\, and put it to work over the past few decades. Their secret? It’s the realization that they’re humans helping humans.

DESCRIPTION:Mesa Hive: Indianapolis Bee Sanctuary\nOpening reception August 3\, 6-10pm\nThese connected projects — related to bees\, beekeeping\, culture\, and community — include an outdoor living sculpture and a resulting exhibit developed by Juan William Chávez\, an artist and cultural activist based in St. Louis\, during his six-week residency at Tube Factory. \nThe Indianapolis Bee Sanctuary is a 5-year project in the green space adjacent to Tube Factory that promotes environmental stewardship with the philosophy that a better environment for bees is a healthy environment for humans. This is fostered through Chávez’s pollinator-friendly hexagon design and is associated with a multi layered community outreach program. Located in the Tube Factory’s community garden\, the Bee Sanctuary features a multi-color hexagon pattern concrete floor that houses two beehives. Surrounding the hives is a hexagon-shaped cedar eco wall filled with organic soil and is filled with an abundance of native plants and flowers for bees throughout the seasons. The Bee Sanctuary invites the public to wear beekeeping suits to observe and interact with the hives through a multi layered community outreach program that embraces the urban ecosystem\, arts education and job training. The Bee Sanctuary embraces the concept of working as a hive. Chávez teamed up with TeenWorks Indianapolis on the construction of the sanctuary. TeenWorks is a six-week summer employment and college readiness program for high school seniors. Along with helping build\, TeenWorks young people experienced several educational workshops that focus on ecology\, plant biology\, landscape design\, beekeeping and entrepreneurship. Public programming continues over the next five years related to the Bee Sanctuary. \nIn Tube Factory’s main gallery\, Chávez exhibits Mesa Hive\, a multimedia Installation that highlights the process and construction of the Indianapolis Bee Sanctuary. The installation is presented on a large Mylar survival blanket with carefully arranged objects and artifacts created and harvested during the construction process. These objects are juxtaposed with new paintings made by Chávez during the residency. The survival blanket is inspired by Chávez’s Peruvian heritage. It references Mesa\, a multicolored bundle containing various sacred objects used for healing in Andean shamanic rituals typically associated with a Huaca\, a monument or natural location that represents something revered. The exhibition also includes photo and video documentation of TeenWorks\, Chávez\, and Big Car artists — led by Elliot Thornton — working on the sanctuary. Documentation includes preparing over 300 hexagon concrete pavers and beekeeping and gardening activities in partnership with Bee Public and Solful Gardens. Mesa Hive is curated by Shauta Marsh. \n“I’m inspired by artist Joseph Beuys’ works with bees. He viewed bees as a symbol of society due to the nature of how they live and work together. He was also fascinated by the alchemy of honey production and used honey in many of his works. The collectiveness of the hive is a powerful and natural way of living and working. Working together to transform ideas and space plays a major role in my work. Bees teach me how to work within a group\, how to build space as a group\, how to transform ideas to make honey\, and the alchemy of the studio within an ecosystem. For me bees and humans are the same. We enjoy a lot of the same plants and smells. We need them and they need us. A better environment for the bees is a better environment for humans\, and as humans we forget that we are part of an ecosystem. Bees remind me of that\, which keeps me grounded and connected. \nOver the last five years in St. Louis we’ve been honing our concept and practice of a bee sanctuary and feel we were in a position and had the right partnership to try to take that concept to a different city. We are super excited that Indianapolis and the Tube Factory were an ideal partnership for this project.” – Juan William Chávez \nThe project is made possible by Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts\, PNC\, Penrod Arts Fair\, The Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs\, Sun King Brewing and Managed Health Services.  \nAbout Chávez \nJuan William Chávez is an artist and cultural activist who creates and shares space in the built and natural environments to address community-identified issues.

SUMMARY:Masters Retrospectives: Social Practice & Placemaking
DESCRIPTION:Showcasing the work of UIndy Social Practice students! In the last year\, they have engaged many communities\, cultures & arts practices. The gallery show will highlight thesis projects & other projects from throughout the program. \nAdditional events are planned during the show to highlight individual projects in social practice art and creative placemaking. \nAbout the thesis projects: \nIn Place is a series of pop-up events that create space for community connection through social exchange. For example\, this summer Lauren Ditchley and a team of five TeenWorks youth employees collaborated with Joanna Taft of the Harrison Center to produce seven porch parties at the homes of longtime residents in the Monon 16 neighborhood. At each porch party\, teens and residents shared lunch and responded to prompts such as\, “How long have you lived here?” and “What was your first job?” The collaborative team share these conversations and tips for hosting your own porch party in a zine based on video and sound recordings\, photos\, and journals. \nArranged Encounters is a project by Linnea Gartin that records and archives the stories of women in the Midwest experiencing contemporary society. Through podcast episodes and a curated exhibition of artifacts from the interview experience\, the goal is to expose the common woman’s wisdom\, story\, and perspective on the world. The twist is each episode is recorded in a different environment and questions are pulled at random by the guest. \nBrittany Kugler\, with No Exit Performance\, is launching the Theatrical Assets Library in the late summer of 2018. The Theatrical Assets Library is an opportunity for performance groups in Indianapolis to join their assets\, like costumes and sets\, together. This will allow those groups to save money\, increase green initiatives\, and grow professional opportunities. \nEmma Landwerlen’s Queer Between Coasts is an ongoing archive examining LGBT lives in the Midwest through personal interviews\, ephemera\, and art. The project also explores what it means to be visibly queer in the midwest\, an act that can feel simultaneously powerful and vulnerable. \nEasel Eats\, by Danielle Wilborn\, combines thoughtful discussion of the meaning behind an artists work with an informal shared meal of the artists choosing in an attempt to share the power of storytelling through art and how it can be used to launch community conversations. Participating artists will be shadowed during their work and all project documentation will be placed in a multimedia collection and made public.
