SUMMARY:Christen Baker: New! and Impervious to Natural Elements
DESCRIPTION:New! and Impervious to Natural Elements is an exhibition and gallery activation of sculptural glass\, photography\, and motion-activated neon lights by artist\, Christen Baker. This work explores the complex interplay between our internal and external worlds and examines the aesthetics and structural elements of built environments. Baker’s specific use of glass and light has deep ties to our desires\, which fuels her interest in mapping the visceral\, physical\, digital\, and ephemeral experiences of hyper-attention. These materials possess qualities of necessity\, utility\, optics\, and opulence that resonate deeply with our psyches. This work arises from the collision of intuition and observation that Baker experiences daily\, and is an evaluation of perception\, development and disrepair. This intangible feeling is the foundation for her exploration of the economy of attention and desire\, as it relates directly to the necessity for care in our current moment. With this work\, Baker articulates the slippage that exists in built environments contributed by exponential growth\, surveillance\, digital technologies\, streams of material use and waste\, and the architecture of information hierarchies. \nAbout the artist \nChristen Baker is a multidisciplinary artist that explores the intersection of our internal and external worlds. With a BFA in Ceramics from the Kansas City Art Institute and an MFA in Glass from Tyler School of Art and Architecture\, she merges technology and visual art across mediums like glass\, neon\, sculpture\, 3D rendering and photography. Baker’s work delves into how attention and desire influence material use\, space\, and information hierarchies. She has completed residencies at Belger Arts in Kansas City MO\, The International Ceramics Studio in Kecskemet\, Hungary\, The Museum of Craft and Design in San Francisco\, and received the Leroy Nieman Fellowship in Glass at Ox-Bow School of Art. Recently moved from Philadelphia\, PA\, she continues to explore the geographies of public spaces and objects\, real and imagined\, in Indianapolis\, IN. \nThe exhibition is made possible by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and Efroymson Family Fund.

SUMMARY:Julie Xiao: A Journey
DESCRIPTION:Thirty-foot-long scrolls telling a story of self acceptance and belonging will fill the Main Gallery of Tube Factory artspace starting November 1. The “Jellyfish Person” is the central character in Indianapolis-based artist Julie Xiao’s large-scale ink and gouache works. In Xiao’s immersive exhibit\, the audience will follow — and may identify with — Jellyfish’s pursuit of finding a place to feel welcomed at\, to fit in\, and to feel at home. \n“I have always been interested in jellyfish because they are mesmerizing creatures\,” Xiao said. “They adapt very easily to different environments in the water. They have their own defense mechanisms and are just really beautiful creatures. I was thinking about how many individuals have to adapt to their environments in order to fit in\, through that idea the Jellyfish became this anthropomorphic traveler wandering through this natural —yet dystopic and dark — landscape.” \nJellyfish first emerged as a painting when Xiao was working on her BFA in Animation at Ball State University. It hung in her house for a while. Then\, while applying to the MFA program at Herron School of Art and Design\, Jellyfish reappeared. Xiao was thinking a lot about environmental issues and spiritual symbols in relation to her own journey moving from China to the United States as a child. \nBy making the character anthropomorphic\, it allows for a wider range of interpretations and personal connections. When a character has human-like traits but also embodies other forms\, it becomes a versatile symbol that can represent various experiences and identities.  \n“I was thinking\, maybe\, in this way\, audiences can always interpret and have their own meanings. Or they can relate with the character more. It can embody everyone in a sense\,” Xiao said. “Then all these other images emerged\, like the orbs in the background. They’re similar to spiritual guides. Drawing from my roots\, I think back on how ancestors are there to protect and guide you in life. I also think a lot about roots and trees. That’s why you see a lot of them in the works. Trees tell a lot of history. They are like living time capsules\, holding a wealth of historical information within their rings and roots.” \nThe first large-scale scroll\, The Keeper\, was inspired by an apple tree from her childhood. And\, it led Xiao to create scrolls ranging between 30 and 40 feet long by 4 feet wide. “I would wait for the bus every day under the tree\,” says Xiao. “But then\, one day\, it was suddenly chopped down. I still pass by it sometimes because it’s near where my parents’ restaurant is. You can see it regrowing again. So\, I was just thinking about that when I created this tree\, it was a landmark in a sense. Trees are like little landmarks of places.” \nXiao creates the pieces on the scrolls by rolling them out a section at a time. And with the work being very detailed\, it requires her to use her full body to paint back and forth on the 4-foot wide scroll. The newer pieces in the exhibit are the gouache paintings and the large scale tapestry. These continue her use of auspicious Chinese symbols such as gourds\, chrysanthemums\, beans\, and lanterns. \n“Much of my work is inspired by Japanese print and traditional Chinese painting and landscape work. Some works from China and Japan are very similar because they have inspired each other throughout history. A lot of the superstitions\, mythologies\, and symbolism in the work are from Chinese beliefs and symbols I’ve grown up with\,” Xiao said. \nOverall\, Xiao hopes the audience will find hope\, guidance\, and optimism in her work — while also acknowledging the difficulty of moving through life and change. \n“Everyone’s on this journey to find a place of acceptance. I think a lot of people can relate and identify with that\,” Xiao said.“But this work is also a reflection of my life and experience as a multicultural person. I am tethered between two different worlds and identities but not fully embraced by either.” \nXiao’s body of work is meant to challenge and question our perceptions of identity and to consider how our experiences and environment influence who we are. With its unique imagery and symbolism\, A Journey invites viewers to engage with the profound and often unconscious forces that shape understanding of ourselves and our place in the world. \n\nAbout the artist: Julie Xiao received her Bachelor of Fine Art degree in Animation in 2019 from Ball State University (Muncie\, Indiana) and a Master of Fine Art in Visual Art in 2023 from the Herron School of Art and Design (Indianapolis). As a multicultural artist\, she has felt caught in a constant state of displacement and suspension. This has led her to ask several questions through her work like: How is our identity shaped? How do we embrace and accept the different fragments that contribute to our sense of “home” as it relates to our identity? Much of her research centers around how art can be a vehicle to explore our fragmented histories and contemplate where we come from\, as well as where we are heading in an ever-changing and uncertain world. Through various visual elements\, she explores the ways in which our sense of self is shaped by factors such as society\, culture\, and history. She works in multiple mediums: digital\, oil\, acrylic\, watercolor\, and gouache\, but is best known for her use of ink on expansive paper scrolls that pay homage to the rich tradition of Chinese ink painting. Her work is in the Eskenazi Health Public Art Collection and various murals she has painted — such as Chilled Water Cycle\, City of Carmel\, and Scottsburg —can be found throughout Indiana.   \n\nThe exhibition is made possible by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts\, Efroymson Family Fund\, and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

SUMMARY:Wong Kit Yi: Inner Voice Transplant
DESCRIPTION:Inner Voice Transplant explores the links between subjects as disparate as ancient Egyptian practices of dream interpretation; jiāngshī (Chinese hopping vampires); and the first voice-box transplant\, which took place at the Cleveland Clinic in 1998. These inquiries are connected through her signature video essay mode\, which incorporates newly composed songs with karaoke-style running subtitles into associative\, essayistic narratives. This novel format opens up the videos to viewers’ embodied interactions\, something expanded further by her live presentation of a karaoke performance-lecture during FRONT 2022’s opening days\, and then at Tate Modern in London as well as M+ Museum in Hong Kong.  \nThe artist has also made a traveling kit that allows other art venues around the world to present a version of the project.  \nAs the artist states\, “Ancient temples were the precursors of hospitals\, places where body and spirit were meant to be treated together. Modern medicine\, however\, appears to divorce the concept of treatment from care of the soul.” In her thoroughly interdisciplinary approach\, the perceived separation between bodies of knowledge and types of experience are broken down and imagined anew. In the spaces between established genres\, Wong considers the question of illness and the need for some to simply live with it rather than heal in the way we are often commanded to do. \nAbout the Artist \nWong Kit Yi lives and works between New York and Hong Kong. Her works have been included in recent projects organized by M+ (Hong Kong\, 2023); Tate Modern (London\, 2023); FRONT Triennial (Cleveland\, 2022); Tai Kwun Contemporary (Hong Kong\, 2021); Public Art Fund (New York\, 2020); Para Site (Hong Kong\, 2019). She was a resident in the Chinati Foundation Artist in Residence program (Marfa\, 2021) and received an MFA from Yale University. She has taught university courses about performance\, video art\, and new media and currently teaches at the School of Visual Arts (New York) in the MFA Fine Arts program. Even when not teaching\, she can’t quit lecturing people and continues to do so in her signature karaoke-inspired lecture format. Wong is currently preparing for a new commission by the Lahore Biennial 03\, as well as a co-commission by LIAF 2024 (which is the longest-running art biennial in Scandinavia) and The Kitchen (New York).  \nThis exhibition is made possible by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts\, The Allen Whitehill Clowes Charitable Foundation\, Efroymson Family Fund\, Institute of Museum and Library Services\, and The Arts Council of Indianapolis and City of Indianapolis.

SUMMARY:Benjamin Berg: ░▓ I Can See the Pixels ▓░
DESCRIPTION:Computers do whatever you tell them to\, even if you tell them to make a mistake. \n\nThere are some seemingly bad ideas behind Benjamin Berg’s exhibition I Can See the Pixels. For starters\, everything is created using the 1980s-era GIF image format\, which is hated by today’s computer programmers for its limited color palette and inefficient storage. Also\, the source images are small and low-resolution. Worst of all\, he forces his computer to use colors that are totally wrong\, nowhere close to the ones it needs. What’s wrong with this picture? \n\nBerg isn’t interested in doing things the “correct” way. He’s more curious about what happens when you do them incorrectly. He tries to misuse technology just enough to make it misbehave\,\nbut not so much that it breaks down entirely. Finding the right amount of wrong is a delicate balance. \n\nThis GIF-based work requires countless screenshots and hours of sifting through those screenshots\, cropping and resizing them\, looking for the best mistakes\, the most interesting failures. \n\nSometimes they don’t fail hard enough the first time and so he sends them back through for a second pass. Often only a small area is good enough and he crops everything else away. Finally\, he takes his favorite failures and blows them up big. The pixels\, once tiny and hard to spot\, are now on display for all to see. \n\nI Can See the Pixels features prints and large-scale projections of animated GIFs\, accompanied by ambient plunderphonic music playing from two sets of speakers. \n\nFor more information\, to stream/download music\, or purchase art prints\, visit animalswithinanimals.com/bent \n\n About the artist: Benjamin Berg is a multidisciplinary artist from Indianapolis. After making glitch music for several years\, he started applying similar techniques to the visual arts in 2005\, documenting his experiments on his blog. His writings from this period culminated in a series of highly influential and widely cited glitch art tutorials. \n\nBy making technologies misbehave\, his work challenges the assumptions built into those technologies\, assumptions which are often unstated and sometimes even unconscious. \n\nHe also releases music with his band Animals Within Animals\, and solo under various names including stAllio! and Old Man Glitch.

SUMMARY:Integrated Sound Healing with Hoai-Huong
DESCRIPTION:Bring your own mat or we might few you can borrow. During the session attendees lie on their backs in a relaxed position\, listen and stay present with what they are experiencing with the sounds. \nSound Healing promotes relaxation\, release of blockages\, promotes healing and restores balance. The harmonic sound waves of the crystal sound bowls eases stress\, tension\, & emotional distress. These sounds place the brain in alpha & theta states while taking it out of the stress response (flight or fight). The crystal bowls are made of 99.99% quartz tuned to 432Hz. Trauma and stress can manifest in so many unique ways in each one of us and affect the very core of our being; inhibiting true joy to shine through. The interconnectedness between the mind\, body spirit is significant and continues to be researched in the medical and spiritual communities. \nHoai-Huong has practiced as registered nurse since January of 2004 and achieved a Master of Science in Nursing Education in 2016. Her career focus has been in the areas of emergency/trauma\, academia\, & mental health/psych for the pediatric & adult population. “I recognized at an early age that I was destined to care for & serve others in a meaningful way\,” says Huong. “To be vulnerable with you\, I survived emotional\, mental\, & physically traumatic events & had to do deep work to heal. Sometimes I felt lost & struggled through therapy sessions\, doctor’s visits\, and medications which in my case\, only masked what was deeper within me that I needed to address. My search to go deeper led me to Reiki and sound vibrational energy healing. I am beyond grateful that I have been able to shift from surviving to thriving.” \nCapacity for this event is 50. We can not guarantee a spot.

The New Year celebration is usually celebrated for multiple days—not just one day as in the Gregorian calendar’s New Year.\n\nIn 2025\, Lunar New Year begins on January 29. China’s Lunar New Year is known as the Spring Festival or Chūnjié in Mandarin\, while Koreans call it Seollal and Vietnamese refer to it as Tết.Tied to the lunar calendar\, the holiday began as a time for feasting and to honor household and heavenly deities\, as well as ancestors. The New Year typically begins with the first new moon that occurs between the end of January and spans the first 15 days of the first month of the lunar calendar—until the full moon arrives.

SUMMARY:ASMR Live-Landon Caldwell
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Main Gallery for a live performance of ASMR with artist Landon Caldwell. \nAutonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) is a previously unstudied sensory phenomenon\, in which individuals experience a tingling\, static-like sensation across the scalp\, back of the neck and at times further areas in response to specific triggering audio and visual stimuli. This sensation is widely reported to be accompanied by feelings of relaxation and well-being. The current study identifies several common triggers used to achieve ASMR\, including whispering\, personal attention\, crisp sounds and slow movements. Data obtained also illustrates temporary improvements in symptoms of depression and chronic pain in those who engage in ASMR. \nLandon Caldwell is a multi-disciplinary artist and composer based in Indianapolis. His work explores environment\, family\, and class\, using sound\, words\, color\, and other materials\, presenting immersive environments that redirect attention to the present and reveal hidden layers of reality. Landon has toured extensively across the US\, Canada\, and Europe and regularly collaborates with artists and musicians in the Midwest and beyond\, having served time in improvisational units like Eternal Husk\, Crazy Doberman\, and the Open Sex. With Mark Tester\, he curates and runs Medium Sound\, a focal point of adventurous music in Indianapolis. Since 2020\, he has host free sound art programming\, installations\, and workshops through Sonic Potluck\, a collaboration with Rob Funkhouser. His installation work has been exhibited at the Indianapolis Museum of Art\, The Terminal Kyoto\, the Indiana State Museum\, and more. \nThis series is part of the exhibit Julie Xiao\, “A Journey.” Events in the gallery during this show will center around healing and mediation.

SUMMARY:ASMR Live- Rob Funkhouser
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Main Gallery for a live performance of ASMR with artist Rob Funkhouser. \nDoors are at 6:30pm\, performance starts at 7pm. \nAutonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) is a previously unstudied sensory phenomenon\, in which individuals experience a tingling\, static-like sensation across the scalp\, back of the neck and at times further areas in response to specific triggering audio and visual stimuli. This sensation is widely reported to be accompanied by feelings of relaxation and well-being. The current study identifies several common triggers used to achieve ASMR\, including whispering\, personal attention\, crisp sounds and slow movements. Data obtained also illustrates temporary improvements in symptoms of depression and chronic pain in those who engage in ASMR. \nRob Funkhouser is a composer\, performer\, and instrument builder who can never quite sit still. His work is concerned with ideas of place\, memory\, and pattern and he is interested in interrogating the interstitial spaces between established genres. He holds an M.M. from Butler University in Music Composition\, and most recently completed Peace of Mind\, Speed of Thought for Classical Music Indy. He has released projects through various labels in three different countries\, but finds his home turf on Auris Apothecary and Medium Sound. His current projects include an ongoing series of recordings and writing under the title Walking Music\, building a new set of instruments in collaboration with artist Justin Cooper\, and ongoing work on new performance tools for music and installations. In 2020\, he began a long-term living residency with Big Car as part of their APLR program. He also serves as Education Manager for the Rhythm Discovery Center\, where he runs public programming for schools and community members. He has collaborated with diverse groups including Forward Motion\, Los Angeles Percussion Quartet\, So Percussion\, No Exit Theater\, and Chicago-based director Ryan Gleason. \nThis series is part of the exhibit Julie Xiao\, “A Journey.” Events in the gallery during this show will center around healing and mediation.

SUMMARY:Integrated Sound Healing with Hoai-Huong
DESCRIPTION:Bring your own mat or we might few you can borrow. During the session attendees lie on their backs in a relaxed position\, listen and stay present with what they are experiencing with the sounds. \nSound Healing promotes relaxation\, release of blockages\, promotes healing and restores balance. The harmonic sound waves of the crystal sound bowls eases stress\, tension\, & emotional distress. These sounds place the brain in alpha & theta states while taking it out of the stress response (flight or fight). The crystal bowls are made of 99.99% quartz tuned to 432Hz. Trauma and stress can manifest in so many unique ways in each one of us and affect the very core of our being; inhibiting true joy to shine through. The interconnectedness between the mind\, body spirit is significant and continues to be researched in the medical and spiritual communities. \nHoai-Huong has practiced as registered nurse since January of 2004 and achieved a Master of Science in Nursing Education in 2016. Her career focus has been in the areas of emergency/trauma\, academia\, & mental health/psych for the pediatric & adult population. “I recognized at an early age that I was destined to care for & serve others in a meaningful way\,” says Huong. “To be vulnerable with you\, I survived emotional\, mental\, & physically traumatic events & had to do deep work to heal. Sometimes I felt lost & struggled through therapy sessions\, doctor’s visits\, and medications which in my case\, only masked what was deeper within me that I needed to address. My search to go deeper led me to Reiki and sound vibrational energy healing. I am beyond grateful that I have been able to shift from surviving to thriving.” \nCapacity for this event is 50. We can not guarantee a spot.

SUMMARY:Steven Yazzie and Nancy Baric: The Nearness of Distance
DESCRIPTION:Jeremy Efroymson Gallery \n“My Child\, I will feed you\, give you good health\, and I will give you strength and courage.” \n“These are the opening words of Steven J. Yazzie’s 2015 video\, Mountain Song\, which appear scrawled across the inky blank screen in white letters. The work evokes that of an epic poem akin to Homer or Virgil\, signifying a journey that lies before the one who watches and listens to it. Vacillating between testimonies from Indigenous community members and archival audio bytes of the Apollo 11 lunar landing in 1969\, the piece creates a tension between power structures\, sacred knowledges\, and the struggle between living in balance with the natural world and the relentless march of colonial progress through the mechanism and machinations of capitalism – pushing humanity to reach new heights at the expense of the natural order and health of the world. \nYazzie focuses in on the devastating impacts that uranium and its mining have had not only on Indigenous communities\,  but on the environment writ large\, linking uranium to Indigenous cosmologies and histories – referring to the chemical element as an invisible monster. The development of uranium extraction and its weaponization forced/es a wedge between traditional ways of living\, replacing a way to live with a colonial sickness that poisons the land\, pollutes the water\, and creates a level of radioactivity within the consciousness. When Yazzie writes “My child\, what I am dressed with is what you are dressed with. I am your home and mother and father\,” in the fourth and final verse of his poem\, he reminds us that what we do to the earth\, to our mother\, our father\, we do unto ourselves. A caution that the monsters we awaken cannot be put back into slumber. \nThe idea of monsters and the monstrous continues in the 2021 film by Nancy Barić\, Electric Water. The film creates a pastiche of memory\, histories\, and connection – looking at her own heritage and ancestral arrival to North America from the Adriatic Sea and the origin stories and cosmologies of the Haudenosaunee and their connection to Niagara Falls. Barić illuminates the power of water\, in natural understandings\, capitalistic understandings\, and spiritual understandings. In tying her connection to place\, Barić speaks of Nikola Tesla\, whose shared country of origin as her families also creates a binding of herself and her genetic memory to the site of Niagara. Tesla’s invention and design of the first hydro-electric power plant at the Falls\, which he envisioned for good and to provide power for free to the people\, was corrupted by the long tentacles of capitalism. Capitalism and its reach exist like a mutant creature – distorting\, corrupting\, and poisoning what it touches. \nIn the film\, Barić interviews Rick Hill\, a member of the Haudenosaunee community – who grew up near the Falls. Hill shares portions of the Nation’s story of origin\, talking about the Creator and his malevolent brother known as Flint. For every good thing the Creator brought into being\, Flint would create a wicked counterpart\, monsters. During a time of duel between the brothers\, they threw and thrashed each other around  cataclysmically shifting and shaping the landscape\, which Hill believes is what molded the Falls in its current form. To counteract the monsters of his brother’s making\, the Creator brought to life Thunder Beings\, that with the clap and shock of their existence\, drove the monsters back into the ground; Beings which left the Falls when tourism took over – heading west to the Rockies – returning to bring rain every season. The film illuminates the severed connection to culture through colonial abuses and extractive methodological approaches to ‘progress.’ Through the commercialization of the natural world\, the spiritual connection is cut – fissured in ways that create barriers to the holy relation to place. Barić and Yazzie show the fissures that occur when the pollution\, extraction\, and forced control over the earth take over\, urging a return to the stories and power of living in balance.” \n–Eric Joyce \nSteven Yazzie — Mountain Song (11 mins) Mountain Song is part of a series of video/film installation work exploring Diné/Navajo sacred mountains. Structured in four verses\, the film explores indigenous knowledge\, mystery\, resource exploitation (uranium)\, and post-colonial reflections on community life. Conversations I recorded with elders\, friends\, and community members are set against the backdrop of a personal journey to a sacred Diné/Navajo mountain\, Dibé Nitsaa\, in southern Colorado\, eventually ending at a mountain outside my backyard where I once lived in Phoenix\, Arizona. Concurrently throughout the film\, the radio chatter of the first humans landing on the Moon in 1969 (Apollo Mission) can be heard. The intersection of moon landing audio\, indigenous stories\, and aerial views of tribal territories echo memories of our shared histories while complicating the experience of the perpetual outsider with subjective indigeneity. \nNancy Baric — Electric Water (25 mins)\, an experimental documentary and a meditation on the poetics and politics of water\, moving between my heritage from the Adriatic Sea and the Haudenosaunee perspective on Niagara Falls. While our connection to water is disrupted by pollution\, dams\, and the tourist’s gaze\, there are stories and insights that lead back to water’s power and teachings. \nSteven and I met and quickly realized there was a shared world view especially regarding our relationship to land and water. I feel that the two films speak to each and offer a great opportunity to provide a dialogue due to commonality from an Indigenous and non-Indigenous perspective and one of which also extends to the audience. The two films explore issues of representation\, ecology and stewardship\, and are examples of connection/disconnection due to colonialism. The films together also offer hope for a better future through mutual care. \nSteven Yazzie — is a multidisciplinary artist working in painting\, installation\, video/film\, and community collaborations. His work explores the complexities of post-colonial indigenous identity and an ever-evolving community relationship\, with a fundamental view that land is the source of life\, story\, conflict\, and healing. \nNancy Baric is Montreal-based artist and filmmaker working at the intersection of cinema and installation. Her practice explores the relationship between ecology\, human perception\, and intuitive procedures.

SUMMARY:Jason Wesaw: Sovereign Spirits
DESCRIPTION:Potawatomi (Turtle Clan) artist Jason Wesaw’s exhibit consisting of sculpture\, drawings\, prints\, and installation is linked to the beliefs of his culture related to land\, specifically the ground where Tube Factory now sits. This land has been part of Potawatomi lands at different times in history before the United States existed. For this reason\, Wesaw used earth and materials from Terri Sisson Park on the Tube Factory campus to create some of the works in this fully commissioned show. \nTube Factory’s chief curator\, Shauta Marsh\, looked to Wesaw because she felt his work offers a form of time travel — connecting us to a time before and to the present and ways to envision a future with shared connections and value tied to the land. And\, in doing so\, Wesaw brings people together today and across generations. “An overarching tenant of my practice is a commitment to examining relationships\,” he said. “Relationships act as a guidepost for me\, whether it’s connecting to family and community\, to spirit and my observations in the natural world\, or to materials: those which are considered modern art mediums\, or found and harvested materials.” \nTwo pieces anchoring Wesaw’s Sovereign Spirits exhibit to the place where the Tube Factory sits are the tall flowing installations of shimmering satin and taffeta ribbon.  \n“They address the way that I interact with the underside of life\, the places beneath the surface where spirit moves in subtle and powerful ways that only focused reflection and observation can reveal\,” Wesaw said.  \nWabshkya Sen or White Stone\, is a piece about the help we receive through ceremonies that bring us healing and good health\, both physically\, emotionally\, mentally\, and spiritually. Bean Creek draws attention to the urban stream just outside the walls of the gallery\, where we can be reminded that the cleansing\, moving spirit of the water can often be found sharing its life force if we simply pause long enough to let our senses guide us to her flowing banks for a quiet moment. \nWesaw will also create an installation composed of black ash baskets or Gokpenagenek. A quintessential and ancient art form amongst the Potawatomi\, black ash baskets are not merely functional or decorative objects\, they weave together ancient cultural knowledge about the importance of maintaining relationships to the land and each other with a value system based upon reciprocity.   \n“These baskets are a reflection of our community’s ongoing presence on this Land and they remain a treasured art form practiced by the Potawatomi and many other Tribal Nations. Many of the baskets on view in this collection were made by ancestors of the Pokagon Potawatomi people of northern Indiana and southwest Michigan\, with others having been made by their descendants who now carry on this beautiful\, customary art form\,” Wesaw said.   \nThe intimate\, small-scale oil pastel drawings that line the wall illustrate Wesaw’s process of observation and structure\, ideas that often are fleshed out even further in his larger works.  The textile pieces from his ongoing Blanket Series explore ideas around the transfer of knowledge that occurs between spirit\, nature\, and human beings\, what he sees as a subtle\, gentle ceremony of offerings and giveaways.   \nIn the textile and ceramic works\, lies an interest in the power of ornamentation\, with materials like dyed deer tail and shiny\, small objects drawing your gaze closer into the work. Collectively\, the work in Sovereign Spirits shows a wide breadth of materials being used\, but there is a united spiritual aesthetic of the pieces\, regardless of the time\, space and dimension in which they are constructed.   \n“In a quest for connection and common ground\,” Wesaw said. “Where is it you look to find the source which helps you move with meaningful purpose\, fulfillment\, and Love?  With Sovereign Spirits\, I hope to take you on a journey where you can explore the power of Self\, including the connections we have to the communities around us\, the longing we feel to belong\, and our desires to understand our place amongst all of creation. As we so casually ask for help or guidance from a higher power in difficult times throughout our lives – we must also understand that when spirit comes looking for something from us – that we need to be ready to give back without hesitation or fear; in essence\, to have faith. The work in this exhibition recognizes the role of land\, water\, and skies as we seek a deeper\, clearer understanding of Spirit and Self.” \nThe exhibition’s title\, Sovereign Spirits\, resonates with meaning across history. “Sovereign is a word most-often used to describe the undisputed authority of political entities\, or to imply supreme power and autonomy.  Indeed\, this is a word that the Potawatomi — and all Tribal Nations — have become eerily familiar with in our centuries-long fights to maintain our traditional culture and inherent human rights\, in a country founded on freedoms for all\,” Wesaw said. “By stripping away themes centered around history or distinguishing labels like ‘Indian’ and ‘Native American’\, what we may find as those layers are peeled back is a deep awareness of the natural world around and within us\, and the connection we have to beings other than humans. In an increasingly fast-changing world where the land and people are being eaten up as a resource\, there is a humble acknowledgement we can make in understanding the power of reciprocity and the place Spirit holds in the physical world we are living.” \n About the Artist: Jason Wesaw works in an array of media including ceramics\, textiles\, works on paper\, and traditional cultural pieces. His projects relate stories about the Potawatomi people’s ancient and evolving connection to the Land\, the Sky\, the Water\, and Beyond. He balances being an artist with working in his Tribal community as a Peacemaker and participating in traditional cultural ceremonies across the Great Lakes. Wesaw is Potawatomi (Turtle Clan) and lives near the historic Pokagon Potawatomi settlement of Rush Lake in southwestern Michigan. His work is in the permanent collections of the Eiteljorg Museum\, Grand Valley State University in Michigan\, the University of Notre Dame\, the Field Museum in Chicago\, the Indiana State Museum\, and many other regional institutions. He was recently a Mellon Artist-in-Residence at the Newberry Library for the ‘Indigenous Chicago’ exhibition and is a core artist in the current “Woven Being” group exhibition at The Block Museum of Art at Northwestern University.  \nLearn more about Wesaw by visiting his Instagram account @jasonwesaw. \nThe exhibition is made possible by the National Endowment for the Arts\, The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts\, Efroymson Family Fund\, the Institute of Museum and Library Services. \nThe show is part of a long term project\, Social Alchemy\, conceived by Big Car co-founders Shauta Marsh and Jim Walker and artist and philanthropist Jeremy Efroymson\, explores historical and contemporary examples of utopian experiments\, fictional utopias and dystopias\, and social and cooperative-living design projects. \nAbout Tube Factory artspace: Tube Factory is a contemporary art campus and community center.

The Pokagon Band of Potawatomi is a federally recognized tribe. It is one of 573 federally recognized tribes in the United States. The Bureau of Indian Affairs contacted Chairman John Warren to state that their tribe\, Pokagon Band of Potawatomi\, had been approved on November 18\, 2016 to receive 166 acres of land in trust in South Bend\, Indiana. The tribe successfully put a few housing units and tribal government buildings to assist their tribal members living in Indiana. It also built a 175\,000 square foot and 1\,800 Class II gaming devices\, four restaurants\, a player’s lounge\, a coffee shop\, two bars\, a retail outlet and approximately 4\,500 parking spaces including an enclosed parking structure. \nThe second tribe that has land in Indiana is the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma. The tribe was given land to put a Cultural Extension Office for their tribal members living in Indiana to attend specific gatherings\, ceremonies and education events at this office located in Fort Wayne\, Indiana.  \nThere are approximately 25\,000 other tribal members who live in Indiana\, from the Apache\, Cherokee\, Navajo\, Comanche\, Lakota Sioux\, and other federally recognized tribes. \nInformation via: faqs.in.gov/hc/en-us/articles/360033547051-Are-there-any-Native-American-tribes-in-Indiana

SUMMARY:Flore Laurentienne at Tube Factory artspace
DESCRIPTION:Flore Laurentienne is performing at Tube Factory artspace on Wednesday\, March\, 26\, 2025 from 7-9pm EST. \nTickets are $10 and can be purchased HERE via Eventbrite. \nIn addition\, Indianapolis composer and instrumentalist Rob Funkhouser will open the concert.  \n\nEach performance is a chance to step into a world where music and nature intertwine—a rare and intimate experience. \nFlore Laurentienne is an open window to the technicolor soundscapes of Mathieu David Gagnon – the Canadian composer\, producer and multi-instrumentalist who shapes vast orchestral sound to interpret the rugged wilderness and waters of his native Québec. The namesake of an inventory documenting St. Lawrence Valley flora\, Flore Laurentienne illumes the science and spirit of his surrounds through expansive string orchestrations melded with the textures and experimentation of early analogue synths. \nFollowing the compass and critical acclaim of his Volume I debut\, Flore Laurentienne returned in October 2022 with Volume II to resume his voyage into environment and emotion. Recorded with string and clarinet ensembles along with Gagnon’s signature modulation\, Volume II explores forces of water as metaphorical markers to navigate passages of life and loss\, . Reflecting the parallel tenors of nature and humankind\, Volume II locates another estuary in Flore Laurentienne’s tides toward contemporary sonic romanticism. \nIn his approach to composition hued by leitmotif and constraint\, Gagnon challenges himself to extract beauty from simplicity in homage to the changing faces of natural landscapes. The presence of familiarity and flux in Volume I is heightened through the vivid instrumentation of a fifteen-piece string orchestra\, which Gagnon brings together with an array of 1960s and 70s synthesizers\, including the Minimoog Model D\, the EMS Synthi and combo organs – an innately ambitious project which forges the composer’s distinctive path in the expansion of classical music archetypes. \nFlore Laurentienne was nominated in seven categories at the 2020 ADISQ in Québec\, winning the ‘Arrangement of the Year’ and ‘Sound Recording and Mixing of the Year’. In 2020\, Volume I was longlisted for the Polaris Music Prize and received four nominations at the Felix Awards for ‘Revelation of the Year’\, ‘Songwriter of the Year’\, ‘Critic’s Choice Album of the Year’ and ‘Instrumental Album of the Year’. In 2021\, Flore Laurentienne was nominated for the** Juno Awards** ‘Instrumental Album of the Year’ in recognition for his contribution to Canadian music. In addition\, Fleuve No. 1 opened the Chanel fashion show at Paris Fashion Week 2022. \nAwards & Recognition \nNominated at the 2021 JUNOS Awards for Instrumental Album of the Year \nNominated on the 2020 Polaris Prize Short List for Volume 1 \nWinner at the 2020 ADISQ for Arrangement of the Yearfor Volume 1 \nWinner at the 2020 ADISQ for Sound Recording and Mixing of the Year for Volume 1 \nNominated at the 2020 ADISQ for Best New Artist \nNominated at the 2020 ADISQ for Album of the Year – Critic’s Choice for Volume 1 \nNominated at the 2020 ADISQ for Author or Composer of the Year for Volume 1 \nNominated at the 2020 ADISQ for Revelation of the Year for Volume 1 \nNominated at the 2020 ADISQ for Songwriter of the Year for Volume 1 \nNominated at the 2020 ADISQ for Album of the Year – Instrumental for Volume 1 \n\nRob Funkhouser is a composer\, performer\, and instrument builder who can never quite sit still. His work is concerned with ideas of place\, memory\, and pattern and he is interested in interrogating the interstitial spaces between established genres.

SUMMARY:Ben Hall: Trunk Rattle Sound Bath
DESCRIPTION:Trunk Rattle Sound Bath merges ongoing areas of Ben Hall’s research into polyrhythm (the simultaneous use of two or more contrasting rhythms)\, sonic immersion\, and ancestral resonance through the lens of embodied listening. The title draws from the cultural experience of low-end frequencies booming from car trunks — windows shaking with no discernible rhythm\, the body absorbing it all. “Vibrational frequencies are in everything\,” Hall says. “Our bodies. We are observing by vibration even when we shut down. Our nervous system is still there\, thrumming.” \nWith this new body of work\, Hall focuses on not just what is played or heard\, but what is felt\, what is transferred through vibration\, what buzzes and rattles in the body long after the source has passed.  The body is a resonant shell for the vibrations that occur all around us. “The 17th-century Dutch physicist Christian Huygens observed the entrainment of pendulums\,” Hall explains. “He noted in 1655 that if two pendulum clocks were placed near each other\, they would synchronize. They wanted to be in rhythm with each other — but it was\, and is\, not instant. That move toward synchronization\, toward harmony… The experience of rhythm\, of immersion in sound\, of allowing your body to be an entire resonating chamber is to allow that process to begin each time — and allow for the vibration to be you.” \nInspired by the mbira\, a traditional African thumb piano with metal tines and built-in buzzers used in spiritual ceremonies to connect with ancestors\, Hall draws a throughline from West African sonic cosmologies to Midwestern street corners. “Those buzzes are supposed to be the actual frequencies that cut through to the ancestors\,” he says. “The consequence of the sound is what communicates with another world.” In this way\, the sound bath is not a cleansing ritual in the New Age sense\, but a full-bodied immersion in histories. \nHall makes the connection between the mbiras of tradition and the trunk rattle of modernity. “When you are at the red light next to the Buick\,” Hall says\, “you’ll notice that the rattling and buzzing is not consistent with the rhythm created by the bass frequencies coming from the vehicle. Often\, it will seem that the rattling of your windows — a different distance\, a different material from the sound maker — is not even related at times to the rhythm\, as though the frequencies you’re hearing in the passing vehicle are somehow coincidental to the vibration in your home.”  \nTrunk Rattle Sound Bath invites visitors to consider rhythm not only as musical but as a way of knowing\, of feeling\, of remembering. “When a frequency\, a sound (but also a rhythm\, a repetition) occurs to us at a different frequency than the one we live in\,” Hall says\, “we are receiving energy. Frequency is just another way to say energy.” Whether through sound\, image\, or movement\, Hall’s work opens a space for that energy to circulate — and for the body\, buzzing like a loose antenna\, to receive it.  “Vibrational frequencies are in everything\,” Hall declares. \nAbout the artist: Ben Hall is an artist and composer based in/from Detroit\, Michigan. He was profiled in Fred Moten’s 2017 book\, Black and Blur and frequently works as a critic and essayist with a research focus on the visionary American composers Milford Graves and Bill Dixon. He formerly served as a senior research fellow at the Center for the Advancement of Public Action at Bennington College from 2018-2022. He has presented prints\, drawings\, film\, sculpture and works for sound in numerous exhibitions including the solos Jives & Gambles at Essex Flowers in NYC and Slow An Alarm Until It’s A Tone at MOCAD (Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit). He is currently compiling material for the forthcoming publication\, A Black Liberation Music Guide. \nCurator: Landon Caldwell \nLive performance: June 8\, 12pm by Hall’s ensemble\, Oceanic Beloved. \nThis exhibition is made possible by the Indy Arts Council and the City of Indianapolis\, the Indiana Arts Commission\, Allen Whitehill Clowes Charitable Fund\, The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts\, and Efroymson Family Fund.

SUMMARY:Will Higgins: Museum of Fabulosity
DESCRIPTION:June 6 through Sept. 21 | Guichelaar Gallery at the Tube Factory artspace campus | 1135 Cruft St.\n“It’s widely held that Indianapolis is a boring place with a dull\, vanilla past.\nThat notion is wrong.\nYes\, the city is a “good place to raise a family” and yes\, it’s a “sports capital.”\nBut it’s also freaky.\nPeople don’t realize this because staid\, well-meaning chamber-of-commerce types have swept the weird bits of Indianapolis’ history\, the truly interesting and truly human stories\, under the rug.\nFinally\, along comes the Museum of Fabulosity to look under the rug.\nIncluded in this pop-up museum\, made to resemble a small-town history museum\, are 16 amazing stories\, many so strange they may seem made-up. But they are not made up. They are all absolutely true. They are paired with amazing photographs and also fabulous objects that approximate long lost Indy icons — boxing gloves worn by Lou Thomas the night he killed Arne Andersson; the chair Cannonball Adderly tipped back in the night he discovered Wes Montgomery; James Snow’s Panama hat; Jinx Dawson’s skull; Max Emmerich’s spikes…”\n\n\n— Will Higgins
