SUMMARY:Juan William Chávez: Mesa Hive:Indianapolis Bee Sanctuary
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. At the heart of Chavez’s practice is his studio research\, which includes drawings\, films\, photographs\, craft\, labor\, architectural interventions\, and unconventional forms of beekeeping and agriculture. Chávez utilizes art as a way of researching\, developing\, and implementing projects of creative placemaking and social engagement. His exhibitions feature his studio research in the form of multimedia installations. Chavez has exhibited his work at venues such as ArtPace\, Van Abbemuseum\, McColl Center for Art + Innovation\, 21c Museum Hotel\, Laumeier Sculpture Park and Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis. His interdisciplinary approach to art has gained the attention and support of prestigious institutions like the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation\, Creative Capital\, Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts\,  ArtPlace America and Art Matters Foundation. Chávez holds a BFA from the Kansas City Art Institute and a MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

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.

SUMMARY:Kevin Krauter presented by Winspear\, LUNA music and Tube Factory
DESCRIPTION:Useful Solitude. That’s the phrase Kevin Krauter uses to describe Toss Up\, his upcoming full-length debut on Bayonet Records—both the conditions in which it was created and the prevailing theme of these nine iridescent indie-pop songs. In between tours\, the Indiana musician spent long hours in his basement\, guitars and vintage keyboards his only company\, and tested out ideas\, explored new sonic avenues\, savored new sounds\, and taught himself how to play a few instruments. \n“I would wake up and have a cup of coffee\, then I’d come up with a song or a melody and just sit and play it literally for three or four hours straight. Then I’d try to find new ways to play it\, or do it with different notes or on different instruments. I don’t want to call it meditating\, but it was pretty meditative to sit there by myself and play the same thing over and over and over and over.” The riffs and melodies became mantras\, repeated back to himself until they became the rhythmically intricate\, melodically bold\, and emotionally complex songs on Toss Up. An insightful songwriter with a lyrical style that is both economical and evocative\, Krauter crafts unique soundscapes that scramble a range of influences: ‘60s flower pop\, ‘70s easy listening\, ‘80s New Wave\, ‘90s alt-radio\, ’00s indie rock. \nA gentle melancholy pervades the album\, but it’s far too imaginative to sound morose or mopey. “You’re singing all alone and you’re dancing all alone\,” he sings on “Who Do You Know\,” as the guitars crackle and the synths fizz around him. As Toss Up proceeds\, Krauter fills the songs with more and more people: a lover in the unabashedly sweet “Keep Falling in Love;” a friend in the album-closing title track who becomes an audience of one. Music becomes the bond between Krauter and the world: “Take my hand ‘cause we’re really alone in this world\,” he sings on “Toss Up\,” but adds a poignant promise: “I can carry you home.” \nBest known as one of several guitar players\, songwriters\, and vocalists in the Hoosier indie-rock band Hoops\, Krauter has been making music all by his lonesome for much longer. He grew up in a family heavily involved in local musical theater\, even appearing in three productions of Joseph & the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. He played in high school bands\, but didn’t get serious about writing and recording until he enrolled at Ball State in Muncie\, Indiana. His first efforts — recorded in his dorm room — weren’t intended for any kind of audience\, but a friend asked him to record a few tracks for a class project. Eventually those sessions became 2015’s Magnolia EP\, a short collection of gentle\, gauzy songs that reveal his early obsession with one of his first musical heroes\, Vashti Bunyan. \nIt was his first taste of the music business\, and the experience left a huge impression. “I’d never put any music out under my name. I’d never put out a tape before. It all came together quickly.” Krauter began recording and releasing music prolifically\, first with Hoops and then on his own. The ChangesEP\, released in late 2016\, showcases his deft guitar playing\, mixing soul-baring songwriting with bossa nova rhythms and intimately lo-fi production. It was supposed to be a low-key release\, but Changes became a word-of-mouth hit that amassed a small but avid cult behind it. “I didn’t think it was going to make any huge waves for me\, but a lot of people told me they were still listening to it a year or more later. They were living with it\, and I thought that was cool.” \nThose first two EPs were mostly acoustic\, just Krauter\, his guitar\, and occasionally a brushed snare drum or a textural electric guitar. “I was cool with it for a while\, but I wanted to make something that sounded a little more pop.” Recorded at Russian Recording in Bloomington\, Indiana\, Toss Up builds on the sonic worlds of his first releases\, conveying a similar mood with a greater array of instruments and influences. Still\, he worked with what he had around him. “I found this old two-stack organ at Goodwill and set it up on top of an old Yamaha teach-yourself keyboard that my mom had. I was playing those over and over.” \nYou can hear those vintage keyboards merging on “Keep Falling in Love\,” which recalls R&B organist Timmy Thomas and West Coast marina pop artists Ned Doheny while showing off Krauter’s strong falsetto. “Rollerskate” audaciously marries a hypnotic keyboard theme to a loping drumbeat based on a popular ‘90s alt-rock hit. “I had been working on that guitar part and it sounded like another pretty folk song\, so I thought\, What if I put this weird funky beat on top of it? Most of these songs are very groove heavy.” \nThat is the secret tension on Toss Up\, the engine that drives these songs: melody propelled by rhythm\, melancholy fended off by the exuberance of simply creating art. “A lot of the songs are about solitude in a very healthy sense\, about trying to make it something useful and productive. It was good to center myself in that experience. I was able to get to a place where I was not afraid to be really stoked by what I was doing.” Or\, as he declares on “Lonely Boogie”: “I’m all alone and I’m having a good time.” \n–Words by Stephen Deusner \n\nTickets on-sale now: https://ticketf.ly/2HCX5fj \nAll Ages

SUMMARY:99.1 WQRT's Rhinestone Country Presents Mike & The Moonpies
DESCRIPTION:On-stage and on record\, Austin’s Mike and the Moonpies keep the torch of Texas country burning. Whether it’s a hardcore two-step\, freewheeling Western swing\, Doug Sahm‘s Cosmic American Music\, or George Strait‘s sweet\, burnished ballads\, Mike and the Moonpies tap into the traditions of the Lone Star State\, yet their music feels nimble and fresh thanks to their deft interplay and sly touch. \nA nascent version of Mike and the Moonpies premiered in 2008\, with guitarist Catlin Rutherford leading a variety of musicians through a Monday night residency at the Hole in the Wall\, a dive on the University of Texas drag. Toward 2010\, the band solidified around Rutherford\, vocalist Mike Harmeier\, steel guitarist Zach Moulton\, drummer Kyle Ponder\, and bassist Preston Rhone\, with this lineup releasing the independent The Real Country that year. Pianist John Carbone joined in 2011 and the band claimed the East Side venue the White Horse as its new Austin haunt. The following year found the band releasing its second album\, The Hard Way. \nAfter the release of The Hard Way\, Mike and the Moonpiescontinued to tour regularly\, expanding to the rest of Texas. The group’s third album\, 2015’s Mockingbird\, began to earn the group attention outside of Texas. After delivering a double live album called Live at WinStar World Casino & Resort in 2016\, the group returned in early 2018 with its fourth studio album\, Steak Night at the Prairie Rose.

SUMMARY:The Immigrant Yarn Project-KnitNight
DESCRIPTION:Would you like to be part of a nation-wide community art project? \nHundreds of artist / knitter / activists from around the country are collaborating in a single\, magnificent gesture of unity\, solidarity\, and yarn-based creativity in a celebration of our nation’s glorious diversity. Organized nationally by Enactivist\, a San Francisco-based 501(c)(3)\, the project is brought to Indianapolis by Mary Jo Bayliss. There is no cost at all to be part of this project and it is a purely democratic (by the people) and colossal work of public art\, representing a cross section of the American experience. We think it’s time to rise above division and come together to celebrate what we all have in common – citizenry in a nation composed of diverse backgrounds\, families\, politics\, faiths\, identities and ideas. \nCountless small squares and pieces have come into the studio\, and more knitted by immigrants and their descendants arrive everyday. From high schools to retirement centers\, from California to Maine\, we have collected these works of art\, representing a personal or familial story. The pieces are compiled\, sewn together and fashioned into over 100 sculptural columns\, in a single colossal work of yarn-based art. First displayed at Fort Point National Historic Site\, at the foot of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco in May 2019\, and then in locations throughout the USA\, the Immigrant Yarn Project will provide a testament to the creative spirit of our shared immigrant heritage. It is a celebration of our national gestalt\, where the whole is different and as magnificent as the sum of its parts. \nSee https://enactivist.org/ to learn more about the organization behind this nationwide public art project.

SUMMARY:Red Line Movie Night-My Neighbor Totoro
DESCRIPTION:The Red Line is coming to South Indianapolis and Garfield Park. And to help us get into the mindset of celebrating and thinking about transit we’ll show “My Neighbor Totoro” in the parking lot of Safeway\, transit related arts activities and a short film of stuntman Evel Knievel jumping 14 buses on his red\, white and blue motorcycle preceding the movie. Safeway will be open so you can grab dinner at the cafe to enjoy with the movie. \nFollow the adventures of Satsuki and her four-year-old sister Mei when they move into a new home in the countryside. To their delight\, they discover that their new neighbor is Totoro\, a mysterious forest spirit who can only be seen by children. Totoro introduces them to extradordinary characters — including a cat that doubles as a bus! — and takes them on an incredible journey.  \nThere will be around 50 chairs that are free to use but we also recommend you bring your own if you are arriving later. \nSpecial thanks to Safeway\, The Arts Council of Indianapolis\, and Transit Drives Indy\, and Public House Cinema for making this event possible. Learn about other Ready for The Red Line projects here.

SUMMARY:The Immigrant Yarn Project-KnitNights
DESCRIPTION:Would you like to be part of a nation-wide community art project? \nHundreds of artist / knitter / activists from around the country are collaborating in a single\, magnificent gesture of unity\, solidarity\, and yarn-based creativity in a celebration of our nation’s glorious diversity. Organized nationally by Enactivist\, a San Francisco-based 501(c)(3)\, the project is brought to Indianapolis by Mary Jo Bayliss. There is no cost at all to be part of this project and it is a purely democratic (by the people) and colossal work of public art\, representing a cross section of the American experience. We think it’s time to rise above division and come together to celebrate what we all have in common – citizenry in a nation composed of diverse backgrounds\, families\, politics\, faiths\, identities and ideas. \nCountless small squares and pieces have come into the studio\, and more knitted by immigrants and their descendants arrive everyday. From high schools to retirement centers\, from California to Maine\, we have collected these works of art\, representing a personal or familial story. The pieces are compiled\, sewn together and fashioned into over 100 sculptural columns\, in a single colossal work of yarn-based art. First displayed at Fort Point National Historic Site\, at the foot of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco in May 2019\, and then in locations throughout the USA\, the Immigrant Yarn Project will provide a testament to the creative spirit of our shared immigrant heritage. It is a celebration of our national gestalt\, where the whole is different and as magnificent as the sum of its parts. \nSee https://enactivist.org/ to learn more about the organization behind this nationwide public art project.
