SUMMARY:Latino Americans-Foreigners in their Own Land (1565-1880)
DESCRIPTION:One hundred years after Columbus’ arrival in the Caribbean\, Spanish Conquistadors and Priests\, push into North America in search of gold and to spread Catholicism. With the arrival of the British in North America\, the two colonial systems produce contrasting societies that come in conflict as Manifest Destiny pushes the U.S into the Mexican territories of the South West. \nApolinaria Lorenzana provides a window to the Spanish Mission System while Mariano Vallejo personifies the era of the Californio rancheros an elite class who thrive after Mexico gains its independence from Spain. Juan Seguín\, a third generation Tejano or Texan\, is caught between two worlds; his commitment to an Independent Texas and his identity as a Mexican. Through the Mexican American War\, the U.S. takes a full half of Mexico’s territory by 1848. Over seventy thousand Mexicans are caught in a strange land and many become American citizens. \nAs the Gold Rush floods California with settlers\, complex and vital communities are overwhelmed. The elites\, including Mariano Vallejo and Apolinaria Lorenzana lose their land. Mexicans and Mexican Americans are treated as second-class citizens\, facing discrimination and racial violence. Resistance to this injustice appears in New Mexico as Las Gorras Blancas (The White Caps)\, burn Anglo ranches and cut through barbed wire to prevent Anglo encroachment. At the same time\, New Mexicans manage to transform themselves through education\, managing to preserve Hispano culture in New Mexico and their standing in the midst of an era of conquest and dispossession. \nLatino Americans: 5oo Years of History\, a public programming initiative produced by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEH) and the American Library Association (ALA)\, is part of the NEH initiative\, The Common Good: Humanities in the Public Square.

SUMMARY:The People's 500
DESCRIPTION:The People’s 500 is a celebration of the relationship between the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the people of Indianapolis\, marking the 100th Running of the Indianapolis 500 presented by PennGrade Motor Oil. The exhibit will run through July 16.\nIn October of 2015\, Sugarmann chose 100 residents of the Indianapolis community from a pool of applicants to drive two laps in a pace car — the drivers uniting to complete the equivalent of a single running of the Indianapolis 500. Sugarmann and his crew photographed and interviewed each of the drivers\, the resulting documentation serving as the material of the exhibition. Some of the drivers are featured among the 16 large scale photos in the exhibit. There is also video\, and a sculptural piece.\n“The Indianapolis Motor Speedway serves as a cultural beacon within Indianapolis\, a location of shared history and civic identity for all strata of Indianapolis society. Members of the Indianapolis community feel ownership of the Speedway\,” says Sugarmann. “In this exhibit\, the pace car is the vehicle through which this mutual connection is furthered\, the civilian/citizen being able to immerse him or herself in the environment of a professional IndyCar driver. The People’s 500 uses pace cars to bridge the viewer and professional driver and create an even stronger sense of civic ownership.”\nThis exhibit is the first at Tube Factory\, Big Car Collaborative’s new cultural center with a contemporary art exhibition area. Located in what was a boarded-up factory building on a residential street in the Garfield Park neighborhood\, Tube Factory will host a variety of conversations\, performances\, and events — while also serving as the workshop and home base for Big Car artists.\nThe People’s 500 is curated by Shauta Marsh\, funded by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and Creative Capital\, and coordinated by Big Car Collaborative staff in partnership with the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Framing provided by Editions Limited. \nAbout Jesse Sugarmann: Sugarmann is an interdisciplinary artist working in video\, photography\, and sculpture.

SUMMARY:Prince Rama
DESCRIPTION:Prince Rama is the musical duo of sisters Taraka and Nimai Larson. They have lived in ashrams\, worked for utopian architects\, written manifestos\, delivered lectures from pools of fake blood\, conducted group exorcisms disguised as VHS workouts\, installed art installations at The Whitney\, Art Basel and various galleries across the U.S. And now they return to Big Car April 9\, 8 p.m. at the Tube Factory artspace\, 1125 Cruft St. in the Garfield Park neighborhood on the south end of downtown. \nThey will perform Xtreme Now\, an album about extreme sports with Indianapolis-based The Icks opening for them. The cost of the performance is $10 and tickets can be purchased on-line (https://www.eventbrite.com/e/prince-rama-indianapolis-us-tour-the-icks-tickets-21012549100) or at the door. \nXtreme Now is the most extreme album Prince Rama has ever made. Writing for Xtreme Now began while the Larson sisters were living on a black metal utopian commune on Vȫrmsi\, a remote island off the coast of Estonia during the summer of 2012. There\, Taraka had a near death experience inside an ancient Viking ruin\, which sparked a recurring sense of time-schizophrenia\, or the physical sensation of existing in multiple time periods simultaneously. \nIn this case\, she experienced a joint-existence in both the medieval ages and the year 2067. In one of her prophetic visions she describes\, “In the year 2067\, I witnessed an aesthetic landscape where art museums are sponsored by energy drink beverages and beauty is determined by speed. I saw a vision of ancient tapestries stretched across half-pipes and people base-jumping off planes with the Mona Lisa smiling up from their parachutes. I saw art merge with extreme sports to form a new aesthetic language of ‘Speed Art.’ I realized that time travel was possible via the gateway of extreme sports\, and I wanted to make music that would provide the score.” \nPerceiving a great void in the world of extreme sports for music that could match the metaphysical intensity of these death-defying feats\, Prince Rama set forth to make Xtreme Now\, the first real foray by any musician to create a new “extreme sports genre.” For inspiration\, the sisters looked to their own flirtations with death and time-dilation\, along with countless hours of obsessively watching extreme sports videos and consuming dangerous quantities of Monster Energy drink. \nWorking with acclaimed dance producer Alex Epton of XXXChange (Gang Gang Dance\, Björk\, Spank Rock\, Panda Bear\, The Kills)\, the new songs take on a more powerful\, confident\, fierce\, infectious\, all-encompassing\, and accessible dance-club feeling than any other Prince Rama record – a fearless\, visionary pop tour de force for the ghost-modern era that celebrates the ephemerality of life\, dancing just at the edge of death’s gilded smile. \nAbout The Icks \nThe Icks utilize electricity to power their instruments. What if John Hughes directed Blade Runner? \nJohn Caldwell-guitar and vocals \nCameron Holloway-farfisa \nJoe Ferguson-bass \nAmanda Case-vocals \n$10 \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/prince-rama-indianapolis-us-tour-the-icks-tickets-21012549100 \nThis concert is made possible by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. About The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts: The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts was established in 1987.
