SUMMARY:Jillisblack
DESCRIPTION:Jill is Black is a writer\, blogger\, and facilitator/trainer/lecturer\, focusing on issues of Race\, Power\, and Privilege in modern-day America. She amassed a diverse following via her social media account\, @jillisblack–where her social commentary is centered around inner and outer-community hierarchies\, the myth of white fragility and other words for racism\, the endlessly-pending and highly-exclusive revolution\, and dating and relationships through the eyes of social media.  \nIt is Jill’s belief that the shift away from anti-blackness will begin with an outpouring of radical\, multi-generational\, inclusive and validating honesty. This is the revolution she wishes to be invited to.  \nJill was born in Oakland\, raised in Alabama\, and currently resides in Washington State.

SUMMARY:Day Is Done--Mike Kelley--Screening/Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Day Is Done is a carnivalesque opus\, a genre-smashing epic in which vampires\, dancing Goths\, hillbillies\, mimes and demons come together in a kind of subversive musical theater/variety revue by artist Mike Kelley. Running over two-and-a-half hours\, this riotous theatrical spectacle unfolds as a series of episodes that form a loose\, fractured narrative. The video comprises parts 2 through 32 of Kelley’s multi-faceted project Extracurricular Activity Projective Reconstructions\, in which trauma\, abuse and repressed memory are refracted through personal and mass-cultural experience. The source material is a series of high school yearbook photographs of “extracurricular activities\,” specifically those that represent what Kelley has termed “socially accepted rituals of deviance.” Kelley then stages video narratives around these found images.\nIn Day Is Done\, these restagings take the form of “folk entertainments” that Kelley memorably subverts. Featuring characters such as Motivational Vampire\, Morose Ghoul and Devil/Barber\, much of the action—antic song-and-dance numbers and dramatic scenes\, with Satan as emcee—takes place in a generic school gymnasium and a wooded landscape.\nWrites Kelley: “For this project\, I limited myself to specific iconographic motifs taken from the following files: Religious Performances\, Thugs\, Dance\, Hick and Hillbilly\, Halloween and Goth\, Satanic\, Mimes\, and Equestrian Events. Many of the source photographs are of people in costume singing or dancing\, so the resulting tapes are generally music videos. In fact\, I consider Day Is Done to be a kind of fractured feature-length musical…. The experience of viewing it is somewhat akin to channel-surfing on television.”\nThe video reconstructions were originally seen within an ambitious\, sprawling exhibition of video/sculpture installations\, photographs\, sets\, props and drawings at the Gagosian Gallery in New York in 2005; the videos were incorporated into 25 sculptural viewing stations. Writes Kelley\, “My intention was to create a kind of spatialized filmic montage: a feature-length film made up of multiple simultaneous and sequential scenes playing in architectural space.” \nWe will discuss Kelley’s techniques for creating psychic distortions and the perceived relationship between the person of the artist and the artistic persona.

SUMMARY:The Banana Man-Mike Kelley
DESCRIPTION:Kelley’s 28-minute video project pieced together a character study of the Banana Man\, a character from the children’s television show “Captain Kangaroo.” Having never watched the Banana Man himself\, Kelley enlisted his childhood friends to recount their memories of him\, memories which were weaved together into a fragmented narrative. \nWrites Kelley: “This is my only truly solo video project. The tape is an exploration of character and was done in direct reaction to my performance work at the time\, which was characterless. Video seemed a good way\, by virtue of it not operating in ‘real’ time\, of dealing with character and psychological motivation. ‘The Banana Man’ was a minor figure on a children’s television show I watched in my youth. I\, myself\, never saw this performer. Everything I know about him was told to me by my friends. The Banana Man is an attempt at constructing the psychology of the character — problematized by the fact that the character is already a fictional one\, and by the fact that none of my observations were direct ones.” \n1983\, 28:15 min\, color\, sound\n\nDiscussion to follow screening.

SUMMARY:The Hairy Man
DESCRIPTION:Since 1721\, newspapers in the United States have shared reports of sightings and interactions with beings we call Bigfoot. In Indiana\, these sightings have been reported from as close to Indianapolis as the Morgan Monroe State Forest and continue to occur today. The Hairy Man\, a historical cryptozoology exhibit curated by author and Sasquatch expert Christopher Murphy\, will open Feb. 3 from 6-10 p.m.\, at Tube Factory artspace\, (1125 Cruft St). The exhibit will run through April 15 and admission is free. \nThe Hairy Man\, features artifacts\, stories and evidence of Bigfoot’s existence with a focus on the creature as a part of cultural conversations through the centuries. This includes an emphasis on the indigenous people of North America. Murphy\, who is regarded as one of the top researchers of the history of Bigfoot\, originally assembled this collection that contains a 400-pound\, 9-foot-tall iron human skeleton\, model of a Bigfoot skull\, footprint casts\, and more. The Museum of Vancouver\, British Columbia\, exhibited much of this collection in 2004 and 2005. And it has since traveled all over the west coast. \nThe Hairy Man explores the facets of what Murphy describes as “a cultural phenomenon on the fringes of science.” Some people believe Sasquatch to be mythical\, while others see this as an elusive hominid relative of humans and other higher primates. Either way\, people have a lengthy history of creating and sharing Sasquatch lore. The exhibit addresses ancient legends from North America and Asia (where it is known as Yeti or the abominable snowman) as well as recent evidence and sightings. \nBig Car is excited to be part of bringing this exploration and related conversations to Indianapolis. “Tube Factory is about people and place\,” said Big Car CEO Jim Walker. “And the human activity of exploring and examining the mysteries of life are a vital part of our culture — in the past and today.” \nMade possible by the Efroymson Family Fund

SUMMARY:iMOCA's Museum of Real and Odd
DESCRIPTION:The truth is out there. And so is the art. Starting Feb. 3\, a partnership with the Indianapolis Museum of Contemporary Art (iMOCA) brings the work of 13 contemporary artists exploring the idea of UFOs and the paranormal to Tube Factory (1125 Cruft St.) in its expanded gallery space in the factory’s former lower-level garage. \niMOCA’s Museum of Real and Odd\, curated by Jeremy Efroymson\, is a commissioned exhibit with artists from around the country making new work for the show. After an open call for submissions received 250 proposals\, Efroymson selected the 13 artists: Nayda Collazo-Llorens in collaboration with Ander Monson\, Scott Raymond & Heather Abels\, Jennifer Scheuer\, Robert Thurlow\, Katy Unger\, Ed Sykes\, Alex Grabiec\, Julio Orta\, Pato Herbert\, Cassandra Klos\, Josh Haines\, and Michael Jordan\, aka Alkemi. \nWhile enthusiastic about all the work\, Efroymson is especially excited about Julio Orta’s piece Museum of Art on the Moon. “It was commissioned for this show and is an interesting concept\,” says Efroymson. “Orta\, originally from Mexico and living in L.A.\, is drawing conceptual architectural plans and has even purchased land for the museum on the moon. I haven’t seen the final piece but I’m looking forward to it. He can continue on with this project after this show.” \nEfroymson feels high-caliber artists are well poised to remove some of the negative associations with the unknown. “The folklore and mythology of the paranormal has really saturated our society\,” he said. “Especially with the ghost hunter shows on television and the prevalence of the topic in movies.  I remember the movie Poltergeist from my childhood\, which really scared me. While we still have scary movies\, I think maybe we now have a more open view to paranormal experiences of a positive nature. I’ve seen shows and artwork that deal with these topics\, but they are not always of the best quality. I wanted to curate a show on these topics with high quality art and artists.” \nThe exhibit comes down April 15. Until then\, visitors can stop by Tube Factory Monday through Friday\, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.\, Saturdays 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and during extended hours for special events. \nImage: Pato Hebert\, Oscillator in Scott State Park\, From the series: In\, If Not Always Of\, Archival pigment prints\, 39.5” x 26.3” \,2014-15 \nAbout Jeremy Efroymson: Jeremy is an artist\, philanthropist\, arts activist and advocate for small grassroots organizations.

SUMMARY:Dr. Jeffrey Meldrum-Discovery Channel expert and Sasquatch author
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Jeffrey Meldrum\, an expert on foot morphology and locomotion in primates\, will give a talk\, answer questions and sign books. His appearance is in conjunction with Tube Factory’s Hairy Man exhibit. Meldrum contributed his field evidence\, including special hand and foot casts\, to the exhibit. Admission to the talk is $5 \nMeldrum is a Full Professor of Anatomy and Anthropology and a Professor of the Department of Anthropology at Idaho State University. He is also Adjunct Professor of Occupational and Physical Therapy. \nMeldrum received his B.S. in zoology specializing in vertebrate locomotion at Brigham Young University (BYU) in 1982\, his M.S. at BYU in 1984 and a Ph.D. in anatomical sciences\, with an emphasis in biological anthropology\, from Stony Brook University in 1989 (then referred to as State University of New York at Stony Brook). He held the position of postdoctoral visiting assistant professor at Duke University Medical Center from 1989 to 1991. Meldrum worked at Northwestern University’s Department of Cell\, Molecular and Structural Biology for a short while in 1993 before joining the faculty of Idaho State University where he currently teaches. \nMeldrum authored Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science which is the first book to be written by an academic and provides an objective look at the field. \nMeldrum has also published numerous academic papers ranging from vertebrate evolutionary morphology\, the emergence of bipedal locomotion in modern humans and Sasquatch (Bigfoot) and is a co-editor of a series of books on paleontology. Meldrum also coedited From Biped to Strider: The Emergence of Modern Human Walking with Charles E. Hilton. He edited the textbook From Biped to Strider (Springer\, 2004). \nMeldrum has attracted media attention due to his interest in Bigfoot. Skeptic Brian Dunning writes that “The work of responsible scientists like Dr. Meldrum is exactly what true skeptics should be asking the Bigfoot community for\, not criticizing him for it.”\nMeldrum was present at a 2011 conference in Siberia to discuss the Russian wildman. He acknowledged that the results of the Russian field trip to the cave site were most likely fraudulent. He suggested that the supposed evidence found was simply an attempt by local government officials to drum up publicity.\nMeldrum has also studied and commented upon issues of genetics and the Book of Mormon including his book Who Are the Children of Lehi? written with Trent D. Stephens. \nMade possible by the Efroymson Family Fund

SUMMARY:Make Pepe Great Again Drawing Rally
DESCRIPTION:Create a positive Pepe The Frog as part of a community action event project that a group of middle schoolers are hosting at Tube.\n“Pepe is a cartoon frog created by Matt Furie in 2005. Pepe has\, for most of his life\, been completely innocent\, blessed with the particular brand of dignity conferred by implacable chill. He had a catchphrase (“Feels good man”)\, and\, in 2006\, a starring role (alongside his roommates Andy\, Brett\, and Landwolf) in Furie’s book Boy’s Club. Gradually\, he began to be appropriated by others on the internet\, and it was sometimes a little weird\, though generally harmless enough. \nBy the summer of 2015\, Furie had some complaints about Pepe’s repurposing. That July\, he told Vice’s Sean T. Collins that he liked some of what the internet had done with his creation\, but didn’t understand why Pepe was so often drawn hugging the mysterious Feels Guy\, and with brown lips and a blue shirt. Reasonable complaints. You should hear what my parents say about me. \nMore recently\, for reasons that really aren’t exceptionally clear\, Pepe was adopted as a kind of mascot by the alt-right. White supremacists\, anti-semites\, and others have made truly hateful cartoons in which Pepe says horrendous things (google “Pepe + [name of minority]” at your own risk)\, and the heretofore innocuous frog emoji has started appearing in some people’s Twitter handles as an indication of their hate-fueled politics. When Roger Stone and Eric Trump shared their Expendables/Deplorables mash-up meme\, Pepe got the coveted Schwarzenegger spot. Pepe has been declared a hate symbol by the Anti-Defamation League\, and the Hillary Clinton campaign devoted an entire webpage to unpacking his significance.” \nFurie’s publisher\, Fantagraphics\, released a statement addressing the situation. They are appalled\, citing the “significant emotional and financial harm” being done to Furie:\nHaving your creation appropriated without consent is never something an artist wants to suffer\, but having it done in the service of such repellent hatred—and thereby dragging your name into the conversation\, as well—makes it considerably more troubling. \nFantagraphics Books wants to state for the record that the one\, true Pepe the frog\, as created by the human being and artist Matt Furie\, is a peaceful cartoon amphibian who represents love\, acceptance\, and fun. Both creator and creation reject the nihilism fueling Pepe’s alt-right appropriators\, and all of us at Fantagraphics encourage you to help us reclaim Pepe as a symbol of positivity and togetherness\, and to stand by Matt Furie. \nWe encourage reporters and others citing Furie as the character’s creator to also note that he condemns these illegal representations of his character. Matt is available for interviews through Fantagraphics. We encourage fans and others who support Furie to block\, report\, and denounce the illegal uses of the character by individuals and groups pirating him to foment hatred.” \n—Ian Dreiblatt is the director of digital media at Melville House.

SUMMARY:Thrice: Katy Kuchler\, Jessica Kartawich\, Victoria Jenkins
DESCRIPTION:Artists Katy Kuchler\, Jessica Kartawich and Victoria Jenkins take over 1205 Cruft St. \nJessica Kartawich: Act II “With love”\, is a curation of gifts. “All of the items in this room hold value not in what they are\, but in the way they were given and received. I am someone who places a high value on sentimentality and relationships and that extends to the physical representations of those things. The items on the walls are a few of the things that I’ve made throughout my life and given to those I care about—the things they’ve found important enough to keep. The items in the reliquary are a sampling of those that I have received throughout my life. The things in this room are two ends of a relationship\, and a connection that holds them together. There’s something to be said for the sentimental notion of holding onto objects that someone you love gave you.”–Jessica Kartawich \nVictoria Jenkins: Act III “Exploration” is named after her love for going new places and experiencing new things. “The pieces in the show were taken while in new places the first time I went there. These are the images I took with fresh eyes and what you see is what spoke to me. Each piece is made using a different medium\, printing in induvial ways\, edited differently\, but displayed all together as a collective whole to showcase the entirety of who I am as an artist and how my work speaks to me.”–Victoria Jenkins

SUMMARY:Carlos Rolón: 50 GRAND
DESCRIPTION:Photo: My Father’s Wishes No. 1\, 2014\, Wallpaper\, wood\, mirror\, 24kt gold leaf\, gold plated chains\, quartz crystals\, metal\, sunglasses and bronzed boxing gloves\nBefore language to Hemingway\, from the ancient Sumerians to the Greeks to the modern day\, there was the sport of boxing. With his exhibit 50 Grand\, Chicago-based artist Carlos Rolón/Dzine will present a dually charged exploration of boxing and domestic culture\, inspired by the tactility and performative qualities of boxing\, and its relationship to contemporary art at Tube Factory artspace\, 1125 Cruft St. Though the third iteration of the exhibit\, it will features a newly commissioned performative installation of live sanctioned Golden Gloves fights\, organized by Indy Boxing and Grappling and sponsored by Top Rank Productions. The exhibit is a nod to Ernest Hemmingway’s 50 Grand\, and like the story explores the relationship between courage and professionalism. \nWith this exhibit\, Rolón continues to mine his childhood memories. He invites the viewer to step into intimate scenes such as his family’s wood-paneled basement\, decorated with gold garlands and vintage beer placards\, where his father would watch prize fights like Roberto Durán V. Sugar Ray Leonard\, also known as the No Más Fight. This fight was particularly important for Rolon growing up as it allowed him to sit for short periods of time connecting with his father. \nRolón monumentalizes his blue-collar trophy den as the setting for his exhibition\, creating an homage not only to boxing culture\, but also to Puerto Rican immigration to America. \nWithin the exhibition is a newly commissioned performative installation of live Golden Glove fights organized by Indy Boxing and Grappling scheduled  June 2 and July 7\, 7-9 p.m. Fighters will wear robes designed by Rolón on each of the three scheduled fights then on display when the ring is inactive. \nWithin the main gallery is an installation of paintings and sculptural fabric works exuberant with color\, texture\, patterns\, and experiments in surface that create a visual dialogue between the physical charge of boxing\, the garments worn by the fighters\, and the artist’s own childhood home and upbringing as a first generation immigrant. Occupying the den is a series of custom-made trophies entitled Immigrants/Emigrants (Symbols and Mementos for the Nuyoricans) created\, as the artist states “for people like my father and mother who came to the U.S for a better life with dreams and aspirations that never quite materialized\, but still achieved success in other aspects of their life.” \nThe exhibit runs through July 22 open Monday-Friday 9 am-6 pm\, Saturdays 11-3 with extended evening hours every first Friday. \nMade possible by the Herbert Simon Family Fund\, Top Rank Productions\, The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and Sun King Brewery \nAbout Carlos Rolón/Dzine (b. 1970\, Chicago\, IL) \nRolón attended Columbia College Chicago with a concentration in painting and drawing. Rolón has been recognized for his elaborately crafted paintings\, ornate sculptures and works that come out of American\, Latino and uniquely based subcultures. His studio practice investigates pop culture\, craft\, ritual\, beauty and its relationship to art history\, subculture\, appropriation and the institution. As a first-generation immigrant of Puerto Rican decent\, the artist creates objects questioning the concept of luxury and craft making to explore questions of identity\, integration and aspiration. His work also represents a detailed examination of curiosity and the process of art making and the cultures surrounding this. The work often addresses his biography by melding memory and the imaginary with carefully crafted\, hybrid works that are playfully situated between the contradictory worlds of conspicuous consumption and urban artifact. The work is at once melancholic\, excessive and exuberant\, poised somewhere between celebration and regret. Rolón illuminates how the masculine can become delicate and the how the baroque can be minimal. The artist often channels this approach with site-specific installation work\, vivid large-scale paintings and ornate sculptures in various materials expanding on ideas of self-reflection and imagined luxury. The works ultimately produce a hybrid language of social practice\, painting and sculpture inviting the viewer to engage in discourse and discussion.\nRolón has had solo exhibitions at The Dallas Contemporary\, Dallas; Bass Museum of Art\, Miami; Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art\, Gateshead\, UK; Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico\, San Juan\, Puerto Rico; and CAM Contemporary Art Museum\, St. Louis. His work has also been exhibited in group shows at The Museum of Contemporary Art\, Chicago; Marta Herford Museum\, Herford\, Germany; Museum Het Domein\, Sittard\, The Netherlands; Museum of Contemporary Art\, San Diego; Museo del Barrio\, New York and Centro Atlantico de Arte Moderno (CAAM)\, Canary Islands; Oakland University Art Gallery\, Michigan and Museo de Arte de Ponce\, Puerto Rico.\nIn 2007 Rolón represented Ukraine in the 52nd Venice Biennale. He is a recipient of the Joan Mitchell Foundation award for Painting and Sculpture. Rolón’s work is included in the following public collections: Bass Museum of Art\, Miami; Brooklyn Museum\, New York; City of Chicago Public Art Collection; Deagu Art Museum\, Deagu; Museo del Barrio\, New York; Museo de Arte de Ponce\, Puerto Rico; Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico\, San Juan; Museum Het Domein\, Sittard\, The Netherlands; Museum of Contemporary Art\, San Diego; Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art\, Kansas City; and Pinchuk Art Centre\, Kiev\, Ukraine\, among others. \nAbout Tube Factory artspace: Tube Factory is a 12\,000 square foot museum space curated based upon the themes of community\, place\, memory and mythology.
