SUMMARY:LaShawnda Crowe Storm-Sister Song:The Requiem
DESCRIPTION:Sister Song: The Requiem is a community-based project that examines how art and community co-creation processes can be used to heal the intergenerational trauma associated with enslavement and its aftermaths. The project\, led by artist LaShawnda Crowe Storm\, blurs the lines between the public and private by transforming mundane places into sacred spaces through public rituals.  \n A requiem is an act of remembrance for the dead. How does honoring the dead give life to the living? How do the living remember their histories while creating new futures? How does embracing  history help us release specific traumas and move toward a future where healing is possible? We explore these questions through the community co-creation process that is at the heart of Requiem: womb making. \n Each womb is handcrafted and designed in wax by Crowe Storm\, then cast in aluminum. After casting is completed\, Crowe Storm invites artists and community members to choose a womb. Womb makers then adapt and modify the womb by following these simple directions: Make this into a talisman or spiritual object to heal your/our histories\, be willing to allow what needs to emerge to emerge\, and transform the womb to reflect a vision of healing. Each womb maker must also be willing to continuously ask themselves the question\, “How do I reclaim the ‘spirit of the womb’ when that spirit has been stolen\, harmed\, wounded?”  \n Requiem is the second iteration of Sister Song. The first included 8 wombs that were installed as part of the exhibit Keeper of My Mothers’ Dream (2017\, Indianapolis).   Requiem incudes nearly 50 vessels on exhibition: the wombs by the original 8 participants along with 40 others\, some invited by the original womb makers and others identified by Crowe Storm. In addition\,  some of the original 8 womb makers created new wombs. The exhibit also includes newly commissioned poems by Maria Hamilton Abegunde. \nParticipating womb makers include: Abegunde\, Afriye We-Kandodis\, Alice Berry\, Ariana Beedie\, Bambi Aldridge\, Breon Tyler\, Clare Wildhack-Nolan and Ezmae Wildhack-Cain\, D. Olivia Jones\,  Joyce Moore\, Juaquita Callaway\, Julia Rodreguiz \, Keesha Dixon\, Kianga Jinaki\, LaToya Marlin\, Lillis Taylor\, Malaika Baxa\,  Marilyn Kunkle\, Melissa Larimer\, Monica Johnson\, N’dieye Gray Danavall\, Phyllis Boyd\, Ronda Chapman\, Samantha Horton\,  Sharon Clark\, Shauta Marsh\, Stacia Murphy\, Stephanie Roberston\, Trish Williams\, Tysha Ahmad\, Uzuri Asad\, Val Tate\, Veronica Schwartz DeFazio\, Viola Moten Ratcliffe\, Yolanda Echols and Yvette Upton. \nLaShawnda Crowe Storm is a mixed media and community-based artist\, activist\, community builder and occasionally an urban farmer. Whether making artwork or sowing seeds\, she uses her creative power as a vehicle for dialogue around topics such as racial and gender violence\, social change and justice. At the core of her practice is a desire to create community; any community in which the process of making art creates a space for difficult discussions with an eye towards community healing. She has received numerous awards for art and community activism. Crowe Storm received an M.F.A. from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2004. \nImage: LaShawnda Crowe Storm\, “Mother At The Crossroads\,” bronze\, 2021.

SUMMARY:Docey Lewis-Living Threads
DESCRIPTION:Docey Lewis’s Living Threads takes the viewer on a journey of contradiction. Our technologically enhanced culture facilitates our ability to see and create both real and virtual connection while relentlessly making us more aware of the threats humanity faces. Seeking balance\, we alternatively seesaw between retreating to our cocoons and interconnecting.\n\nAmong the many threats we face is species loss. The exhibit highlights several extinct or threatened species in Posey County. The pre-human ecosystem in our area was abundantly populated and in natural balance. After man settled along the Wabash and elsewhere\, this utopian equilibrium eroded to the point of dystopia. The world now faces environmental\, social and economic catastrophe\, while our perverted material culture still spreads an unrealistic ethos of fossil fuel powered unlimited growth\, fast fashion\, junk food and surveillance capitalism.\n\nThe materials used in creating artworks for Living Threads have as much meaning as the pieces themselves. “I have been entangled for many years in the cultures\, natural materials and co-creations of faraway communities who have had to pivot from utilitarian and ritual use of their materials and techniques to making salable products for a global market\,’ says Lewis. “Along the way\, a large body of samples and materials have piled up in my studio. During the pandemic\, I began to untangle the accumulation and recycle it into artwork. Many hands have touched the raw materials\, and I celebrate the living farmers and artisans whose participation has made this work possible. Connections with communities and all living things are represented in this collaborative body of work.”\n\nAbout Docey Lewis\n Lewis had her first solo exhibition in the late 1960s—not in a gallery or museum\, but in a library 30 miles south of San Francisco. She showed a selection of hand woven\, abstract textiles she had made on a hand-built loom. The show sold out.\n\nYet\, rather than pursuing an art practice\, Lewis made a series of unexpected choices that led her on a serpentine\, half-century journey around the globe. While mastering the innumerable methods humans have concocted to make textiles\, and empowering hundreds of other women artisans in the weaving workshops she set up in the Philippines\, Nepal\, Morocco\, Indonesia\, and Bangladesh\, Lewis dined with royalty\, collaborated with legends\, and built an entrepreneurial empire.\n\nNow in her 70s\, Lewis has returned to the art studio—not in San Francisco\, New York\, or one of the other exotic locales she has variously called home. Instead\, she now works in a modest\, light-filled studio above a locally celebrated wine bar and coffee shop\, in a historic building in New Harmony\, Indiana. Amid wafts of fresh soups and sounds of evening cheer\, Lewis tries to make peace with her past\, weaving intricate\, layered abstractions that literally pull at the threads of her personal history.\n\nAmong the many ironies of Lewis’s story is that her ancestors\, namely Robert Owen\, embarked on a mission to establish a Utopia in New Harmony—based on the moral principles of education and total equality. This concept of fostering the best qualities of humanity has been passed down from generation to generation ever since and is embedded in Lewis’s life. With her exhibition\, Living Threads\, Lewis is drawing our attention to the natural world\, our relationship to the environment as caretakers and our ability to alter it.\n \nOpen through December 11\, this exhibit is part of our Social Alchemy project. With this multifaceted\, multiyear project\, Indianapolis-based arts organization Big Car Collaborative — with our partners\, the University of Southern Indiana\, Indiana State Museum\, Historic New Harmony\, the New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art and others ––  have created a series of radio shows\, exhibits\, and conversations exploring\, learning\, and sharing how utopia has informed places and pursuits over time.\n \nSocial Alchemy explores historical and contemporary examples of utopian experiments\, fictional utopias and dystopias\, and social and cooperative-living design projects (linking back to our affordable artist housing program on our block in Indianapolis). Through a variety of public programs — made possible with support from Indiana Humanities and Efroymson Family Fund — it offers a deeper understanding of the relationship between the built environment and social good.\n\n\nImage:Warbler Quilt\nThe Bombyx mori cocoons used to make each of shibori dyed rectangles are cultivated in the Highlands of Madagascar and delivered to the SEPALIM workshop(a non-governmental organization focused on conservation-based livelihood development.) in Maroantsetra\, twice a year. Before making the long trip by boat and motorcycle to deliver giant sacks of cocoons\, farmers slice open each cocoon and use the dried caterpillar as feed for their chickens. Nothing goes to waste. Each cocoon is trimmed\, ironed flat and sewn one by one to create a textile.

SUMMARY:JEANNE DIELMAN\, 23 QUAI DU COMMERCE\, 1080 BRUXELLES
DESCRIPTION:Recently declared the new greatest film of all time\, Chantal Akerman’s Jeanne Dielman\, 23\, quai du Commerce\, 1080 Bruxelles is a singular work in film history.\nThe film meticulously details\, with a sense of impending doom\, the daily routine of a middle-aged widow\, whose chores include making the beds\, cooking dinner for her son\, and turning the occasional trick.\nIn its enormous spareness\, Akerman’s film seems simple\, but it encompasses an entire world. Whether seen as an exacting character study or as one of cinema’s most hypnotic and complete depictions of space and time\, Jeanne Dielman is an astonishing\, compelling movie experiment\, one that has been analyzed and argued over for decades.\nCast: Delphine Seyrig\, Jan Decorte\, Henri Storck\nDirector: Chantal Akerman\nWriter: Chantal Akerman\nLength: 202 minutes\nNot Rated\n(1975)\n\nAbout Akerman\nChantal Akerman was born in 1950 in Brussels\, and died in Paris in 2015. Akerman was a pioneer in feminist and experimental filmmaking. Born to Holocaust survivors from Poland\, the generational trauma of this experience was a continuing theme in her work and in recent decades she explored her own Jewish identity. She made over 40 films during her life time\, and is considerd to be one of the most important European directors of her generation.\nRecent solo exhibitions have been shown at EyefilmMusem\, Amsterdam\, The Netherlands (2020); MOCA\, Toronto\, Canada (2019); Oi Futuro\, Rio de Janeiro\, Brazil (2018)\, a retrospective at La Cinemateque Francaise\, Paris\, France (2018); Institute of Contemporary Arts\, London (2015); The Kitchen\, New York (2013); Palais des Beaux-Arts\, Brussels\, Belgium (2013); Museum for Contemporary Art Antwerp\, Belgium (2012); a film retrospective at the Vienna Film Festival\, Austria (2011); the Contemporary Art Museum\, St. Louis\, Missouri (2009); List Visual Arts Center\, M.I.T.

SUMMARY:Em Elise\, Jane Sun Kim\, Simon Plemon: delicate(s)
DESCRIPTION:delicate(s)\, is a collaborative multimedia installation assembled by Em Elise\, Jane Sun Kim and Simon Plemon. The installation is a hypnotic visual foraging into the emotional nature of memory and the physical residue it leaves on\, in\, and around the body. \nSpiritually fused by a collective longing for depth in a time of social media’s staged memory and the dissociative “new normal” induced by a global pandemic\, delicate(s) investigates\, commemorates\, and liberates the artists’ hauntings beyond a two dimensional plane. \nFeaturing suspended sculpture\, fabric prints\, hand-drawn charcoal wall illustrations\, projected video\, enveloping soundscapes\, and personal relics\, delicate(s) summons the senses and elicits reflection in its viewers. \nHow do we integrate our memories into the minutia of our daily lives? How do they shape the way we move\, react? Do they control our perception of reality\, our identities? \nArtist bios: \nEm Elise\nWhether it be through image making\, prose\, video\, ritual\, embroidery\, movement\, sculpture\, auditory experience\, or often a combination of media\, Elise consistently gravitates towards immersive creative outlets to go inwards\, seek purpose\, process trauma\, and embrace a sense of divine interconnectedness. Fueled by spiritual encounters and soul feelings\, Elise approaches artmaking as alchemical therapy: an embalming of oneself\, transmutation of pain\, and reclamation of the holistic body.  From using instant film to immortalize fleeting moments of intimacy to divulging ancestral and gender-based wounds through found footage and video collage\, Elise creates to empower vulnerability\, amplify marginalized narratives\, cultivate collective healing\, and provide an anchor for those that feel lost as and out of place in this world as she often does. Elise is native to and currently based out of Indianapolis\, Indiana but frequently practices in Copenhagen\, Denmark. \nconnect: @sin__atras \nJane Sun Kim\nKim contemplates the tangled relationship between nostalgia and identity under the\nweight of the sentimental\, often burdensome past. Her work is an incantation of lost moments\, intimate secrets\, fading youth\, an ever persistent recollection of the past clouding her psyche. \nThrough expired film displayed on translucent banners\, suspended sculptures using synthetic hair from her father’s beauty shop\, and imagery of passed friends on wavering sheer silk\, she weaves together her understanding of self. Kim draws influences from her experience as a child from a Korean American immigrant family\, film of her family’s unspoken past\, and her struggle with repetitive thought patterns from obsessive compulsive disorder. Kim was born in Augsburg\, Germany and raised in Seoul\, South Korea and predominantly Indianapolis\, Indiana and is a part of Big Car Collaborative’s Artist and Public Life Residency. \nconnect: @vulturesonly \nSimon Plemon\nPlemon’s artwork explores personal mythology and macabre identity through a\nfantastical lens. Through the use of video\, textile work\, and experimental image making Plemon crafts a hauntingly liminal universe. Much of Simon’s work is an atmospheric blend of documentation and experience. Motifs of feminine handicraft\, biblical imagery\, and physical morbidity of the body regularly appear in Plemon’s work. When not creating physical pieces\, Simon can be found curating local dance events or tattooing. \nconnect: @clownartist \nMade possible by the Arts Council of Indianapolis\, The City of Indianapolis and The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.

SUMMARY:Betsy Stirratt: Unearthing   
DESCRIPTION:In Unearthing\, Stirratt explores how natural and cultural objects are presented in collections and museum settings\, and how we preserve\, classify\, and display them.  \nFrom Stirratt: “I have visited many natural history\, herbaria and medical museums in Europe and the US with the aim of understanding their objectives\, collecting impulses\, and labelling practices. With similar intent\, I visited several regional historical sites and collections\, including the Workingmen’s Institute in New Harmony\, the Indiana University Paleontology Collection\, and Angel Mounds. The resulting photographs and objects demonstrate the sometimes underestimated importance of local and regional history within the broader museum sphere. \nThe items within a museum or private collection are accumulated with a view to imposing order\, classifying nature\, preserving memory\, or in some instances to signaling status. Items may be preserved for their cultural and historical importance\, or for their aesthetic qualities. For some\, collecting serves as a means of accumulating knowledge\, or as inspiration for their imagination and memories. For me\, it’s the embedded history of objects and places\, and how history and folklore can inform our relationship with the world. \nMore specifically\, I’m interested in the idea of both documenting collected items and using this documenting collected items and using the documentation process to create new artifacts: a coupling of curation and creation\, as it were. Influenced by my many years as a gallery director and curator\, I think about the way that art and objects are selected and placed in juxtaposition with each other and how they are subsequently perceived by viewers. It is important to acknowledge that the viewer’s experience is changed by the inclusion or exclusion of objects and the information that accompanies them. \nThe videos in the exhibit were made using three artists books that contain words and pictures about collections I have visited: specifically botany\, anatomy and zoological collections. Each of the videos features the turning pages of the books in the Collected Series\, interspersed with video and audio clips that I gathered from museum visits\, educational films and from life. \nAdditionally\, alongside the pieces inspired by museum collections and artifacts in this installation\, I am including materials I have collected (e.g.\, a 19th c. herbarium\, Victorian bird taxidermy\, amateur butterfly collections) relating to my interest in history\, natural history and the ways objects are preserved and presented within a curated setting. These items were gathered because almost all were created by an amateur who had some specific interest in the subject that he/she was preserving. \nCollections and museums inform us about the world we live in\, record the past and provide material memory across generations. Unearthing is an attempt to impose order on an unordered world\, drawing upon hazy memory\, inexact connections\, and interpreted histories.  The process of unearthing objects\, both physically and metaphorically\, can broaden our experience of the world\, stimulating imagination and wonder about what we have around us.”                                                                        \nAbout the artist                                                                               \nBetsy Stirratt’s creative practice focuses on themes about nature\, collections and the environment.  She is the Founding Director of the Grunwald Gallery of Art at Indiana University Bloomington where she has curated exhibitions and published catalogs since 1987. Exhibiting her own work widely since 1983\, solo exhibitions include La Maladie at The Mütter Museum in Philadelphia and the International Museum of Surgical Science in Chicago and Veiled Taxonomies at the Center for Book Arts in New York. Her work has been included in group exhibits at the National Museum of Women in the Arts\, Indianapolis Museum of Art\, and White Columns and Art in General in New York among others. She is the recipient of a Visual Artist Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts. \nVISIT US\nWednesday -Friday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.\nSaturday & Sunday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.\nTube is also open until 10 p.m. each First Friday.\nClosed Holidays \nMade possible by The Arts Council of Indianapolis\, The City of Indianapolis and the Christel DeHaan Family Foundation.

SUMMARY:Jason Gray: Cthutopia
DESCRIPTION:“I remember sitting in church one Sunday near Easter\, trying to pay attention to the sermon but failing. I was six or seven\, maybe. My mind wandered as I looked around the sanctuary. I started to think about these two hallways that led away from the main room. The one to the right was familiar to me; the choir room was down there and I found myself there often\, waiting for my grandparents to hang up their robes after service. The hallway to the left was a mystery. I had never been down it\, nor seen many people go in or come out. This particular Sunday I started to imagine what was down there. I pictured the hall itself to be similar to the other side\, with white walls and a white door. Opening this white door would lead you somewhere else\, though. It led to a cave of sorts\, with gray stone walls and a dusty floor: Jesus’ tomb. Jesus was in there too\, frozen in carbonite like Han Solo.\n\nAs we get older\, there seems to be less time for our imaginations to wander. We get bogged down with responsibilities and thoughts about what we need to do next. Our sense of wonder diminishes as we learn more about the world; we know the chances of discovering monsters or hidden worlds are slim. A lucky few get to live in their imagination\, like writers and filmmakers\, but most of us are stuck\, grounded by real life.\n\nThe philosopher Michael Foucault used the term “heterotopia” to describe places that deviated from the normal world. A greek word meaning “other place”\, a heterotopia is neither a utopia nor a dystopia\, but something in between\, a parallel world that is contrary to expected society and that can\, at times\, be disturbing. Foucault cited examples such as prisons\, hospitals\, and religious sanctuaries\, where one is expected to perform certain rituals to enter. These spaces are an accepted part of society\, places we deem necessary in order to exclude those that can disrupt our attempt at a utopia. What if there were places hidden from us that go beyond societal expectations and exist outside of our rules of physics and nature as we understand it?\n\nIn this body of work\, I am exploring the dream that there are still places and things we have not discovered\, things we may not even comprehend. Inside of familiar volumes such as instrument cases and terrariums\, I am creating spaces that give a glimpse of some other world\, somewhere weird and wrong. This is Cthutopia.”\n\nAbout the artist\nJason Gray is a furniture maker residing in Indianapolis. Wood is the medium most often used\, but he also dabbles in slip cast ceramics and looks for inspiration in found objects. He earned a BFA at Herron School of Art and an MFA at The University of Wisconsin – Madison.\nGray is the Lead Builder at Big Car Collaborative. He is the designer behind campus projects such as The Chicken Chapel of Love\, The Chicken Palace\, and Wandering Grove.\n\nThis exhibit is made possible by The Arts Council of Indianapolis\, The City of Indianapolis and Allen Whitehill Clowes Foundation.\n\nJeremy Efroymson Gallery\nOpening events April 7\, 6-10pm & May 5\, 6-10pm

Singing never was my true passion\, although I loved music\, bringing ppl together has always been my strongest gift so that’s why I started No Rap On Sunday! In the beginning it was just a hashtag I used on Twitter! Every Sunday I would do the hashtag & ask ppl what they were listening to! That started in 2015 & I slowly turned it into an event that I host on the last Sunday of the month during the summer! It was organic & something that I dreamt about constantly\, so to see it come into fruition is a blessing. \nDJ Non-Compliant @_noncompliant_: Raised in small town Indiana on a musical diet of 80s synth pop and punk rock\, Noncompliant soon found barnyard raves and warehouse techno parties and (as DJ Shiva) quickly became a fixture of the fabled 90s Midwest USA rave scene. \nTwo decades and a name change later\, she is at the top of her techno game. Mixmag named her one of 2017’s Top 20 Breakthrough DJs. She owned a packed and sweaty Boiler Room during Movement Detroit\, turned in mindblowing mixes for Slam Radio\, Discwoman\, and Resident Advisor\, and quaked some of the world’s most respected dance floors like Smartbar Chicago\, Amsterdam’s DeSchool\, Concrete in Paris\, and Berlin’s legendary Berghain. Her festival appearances include Unsound\, Red Bull Music Festival Paris\, Movement Detroit\, and Whole United Queer Festival. \nAs a producer\, her releases and remixes on labels like Valence\, Argot\, Flash\, and Dark Entries have pounded sound systems worldwide\, with her tune “Women’s Work” landing on Fiedel’s official Berghain 08 mix and on his label Fiedeltwo.

SUMMARY:Nasreen Khan: Cic·a·trix
DESCRIPTION:The narrative of femininity is pain.\nCicatrix: the scar of a healed wound. In botany\, cicatrix refers to the keloid mark left on a tree after a piece of it has been removed. In this body of work\, I am exploring the personal maternal scar of being taken away from the only real parental figure I had until that point in life\, the complex scars of colonialism and immigration\, and the physical scars of my own body.\n\nI spent the first part of my life in Senegal\, West Africa. I was raised by my nanny\, a Senegalese woman named Saly. In Senegal there is a practice called diamou\, or gum tattooing and burning. A hot needle is repeatedly poked into a woman’s gums. Then a mixture of burnt oil and shea butter is rubbed into the wounds to darken the space around the teeth. This is supposed to make the woman more beautiful\, but also to train her to tolerate pain. When I was 9\, Sali began tattooing my gums to blacken them. She was never able to finish. I spent the second half of my life in Indonesia. Saly died the year after we left Africa.\n\nThe architect and urban planner\, Le Corbusier\, wrote about humanity as born in a state of insufficiency\, therefore needing “auxiliary organs.” For Le Corbusier\, our built environments\, including building architecture\, become prosthetic extensions of our insufficient human bodies. His thoughts form the basis for contemporary prosthetic theory\, often cited in the world of AI and tech innovation. For example\, a computer mouse pad becomes an extension of our internal understanding of reality\, as it is the “limb” we use to create changes in our virtual realities.\n\nImmigration is both an amputation and a taking on of prosthesis through cultural assimilation in a new built environment. The relationships we leave behind are an extension of ourselves. Their separation leaves a wound\, then a scab\, then a callous on which the new ones rest like a prosthetic limb.\n\nI draw on concepts of scarification and prosthesis in this body of work. The collections of dots and lines that form many of the backgrounds are translated from traditional African scarification patterns. I choose to work burning on wood\, mirroring the tattoos on my gums. The tree limbs and bark are functionally akin to scarred skin and flesh.\n\nThe cultural narrative of femininity I was taught as a child was –to be woman was to endure pain–and to be a good woman\, was to endure pain quietly. Once I immigrated to America\, the messaging about what it meant to be a woman changed only slightly. I am in pain. The pain I experience is often dismissed\, by the immigration and medical systems\, by male partners\, by respectability culture.These works are manifestations of the silent scaring and re-wounding that many women experience. They challenge and subvert these narratives through their size and emotionality. The use of a once living medium is a metaphor for womanhood and immigration.\nRun your fingers on the raised welts in the wood. Touch pain.\n\nAbout the Artist\nNasreen Khan (she/her) is a writer\, visual artist\, teacher\, and mother. She grew up in West Africa and Indonesia and has recently made a home in Indianapolis. Her teaching and artistic practices\, rooted in questions of equity and earth-based spirituality\, grapple with questions of belonging; celebrate cultural margins; and confront colonization\, racism\, and misogyny.\nIG: @heyitsnasreen\nWebsite: https://nasreen-khan.com/\n\nJune 2-July 23\nJeremy D.

SUMMARY:Marianne Glick: What Lies Beneath
DESCRIPTION:“All the paintings in this exhibit have multiple layers. The initial impression of the painting from a distance will change as you get closer-you will see more depth and dimension -things you maybe didn’t notice at first. I think this is a reflection of life. Often we make judgements based on first impressions\, but once we get closer to someone\, we realize that there is much more…beneath the surface.”– Marianne Glick\n\n\nAbout the artist\nLooking for a way to positively approach the winter months after a career in corporate training\, Marianne began painting in September of 2005. Her love of gardening inspired many of her early paintings. Most of her recent work is abstract. She often uses more than one medium in her work\, combining watercolor\, acrylic and some collage to create pieces that reflect her exuberant nature. “I have worked in a variety of media and am now focusing on acrylics. I enjoy the use of rich colors and textures in my work. Exploring the interplay between transparent & opaque\, warm & cool\, brush work and pouring fascinates me. Most recently\, I have been delving deeper by creating multiple layers and sanding back to reveal parts of early layers in the final painting.”\n\nMarianne’s paintings have been accepted in juried competitions sponsored by the Hoosier Salon\, California Art Day\, Indianapolis Art Center\, International Society of Acrylic Painters\, International Society of Experimental Artists\, Midwest Abstract National Exhibit\, Watercolor Society of Indiana\, and Women’s’ Works . Marianne likes to donate paintings to benefit some of her favorite non-profit organizations. To date she has donated paintings or profits from paintings to Women’s Fund\, Dress for Success\, Community Health Network Foundation\, Joy’s House\, Girls\, Inc.\, Planned Parenthood\, Indianapolis Symphony\, Indianapolis Library and United Way.\nMarianne now serves on the board of directors for the Glick Family Foundation\, the Gene Glick Company\, the Glick Housing Foundation\, ASCEND\, Central Indiana Community Foundation\, Ivy Tech Community College\, RISE Indy\, TeenWorks and United Way of Central Indiana.\nHer personal mission is to ignite\, inspire and direct energy for positive action. Her paintings allow her to colorfully express her mission and hopefully bring joy to those who view them.

SUMMARY:Brian DePauli: Not Sorry We're Closed
DESCRIPTION:Not Sorry We’re Closed is an exhibition inspired by and questions American society’s live-to-work mentality\, and is comprised primarily of hyper-realistic oil paintings. DePauli’s pieces preserve and draw attention to objects and scenes from the lighter side of daily life: a worn bicycle seat\, a chimney on the grill in summer\, a homemade skate ramp in a fenced-in backyard\, a ballcap lying in the garden proclaiming “RETIRED\, No Phone! No Fax! No Stress! No Worries!” The surface meaning of these items and scenes are emphasized as a lifestyle to aspire to rather than objects to contemplate. \n“I am concerned with the cultural and environmental effects of America’s obsession with work\, as well as the physical and mental health ramifications\,” says DePauli. “In 1930\, distinguished economist John Maynard Keynes published a short essay\, ‘Economic Possibilities for Our Grandchildren\,’ where\, among other ideas\, he states that ‘by 2030 the standard of living would be dramatically higher; people\, liberated from want (and without the desire to consume for the sake of consumption)\, would work no more than fifteen hours a week\, devoting the rest of their time to leisure and culture.’ My work envisions a world where his prediction has come true.” \nAbout the artist \nBrian DePauli received his MA in visual art from Fontbonne University. His work has been exhibited widely throughout the St. Louis area at galleries including Fort Gondo\, Boots Contemporary Art\, and White Flag Projects\, as well as nationally at Around the Coyote in Chicago\, IL\, and The Berkeley Art Center in Berkeley\, CA. DePauli’s works have been featured in several publications and platforms\, such as New American Paintings and BOOOOOOOM. He has participated in residencies at The Luminary in St. Louis\, MO\, and Paul Art Space in Florissant\, MO. Brian DePauli lives and works in Saint Louis. \nThis exhibit is made possible by the Indy Arts Council\, The City of Indianapolis and Allen Whitehill Clowes Foundation. \n\nTube Factory artspace \nJeremy D Efroymson Gallery \nVISIT US\nWednesday -Friday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.\nSaturday & Sunday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.\nTube is also open until 10 p.m. each First Friday.\nClosed Holidays \nBig Car Collaborative brings art to people and people to art\, sparking creativity in lives to support communities. As an artist-run nonprofit organization\, we utilize tools of culture and creativity to build community and social cohesion — connecting people as a way to boost quality of life. We support our community by supporting artists. \nMuch of our work happens on a single block where we own or co-own more than 20 properties — including a long-term affordable housing program for artists and Tube Factory — a contemporary art museum with a cafe\, studios\, and community space. At our campus of adaptive reuse buildings and public greenspace\, we host community and cultural programs to promote social connectivity\, cooperation\, and creativity. \nWe also facilitate people-focused placemaking and place keeping projects across the city and beyond through Spark.
