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. There are four galleries on the campus\, two are commissioning galleries. Admission is free. It is also the home base for Big Car Collaborative’s work across Indianapolis and beyond. Tube Factory features rotating exhibits\, interactive projects\, community space\, a reference library\, an outdoor gathering space\, and much more to find through exploring. Tube Factory is an independent\, noncommercial\, nonprofit public place.  \nTube Factory is run by the 501(c)(3) arts nonprofit\, Big Car Collaborative. 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. Tune in to our experimental\, community-focused radio station\, WQRT 99.1 FM — also streaming at wqrt.org. Learn more at BigCar.org and TubeFactory.org. \nAbout Indiana and Tribal Land (from the Indiana State website): \nThere are two tribes that have land in Indiana. \nThe Pokagon Band of Potawatomi received a small portion of their land back from their removal in Indiana. 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:Lunch Break Live! with Mina Keohane Presented by Lake City Bank
DESCRIPTION:“…full of surprises. She possesses a songbird’s voice\, a wisdom beyond her years and a delightfully smooth way of gliding across the piano keys. Everything from mournful sonic sculptures to crisp\, lightweight ballads carried the day — always in celebration of the moment\, whether it be the memory of something long gone or the freshness of something new.” –Nuvo Newsweekly\nMina Keohane is an Indianapolis based composer/performer. Her music is a piano-driven cross-pollination of singer-songwriter\, indie rock and a hint of jazz using lush chords and impulsive lines to create a distinctive sound. Her songs have been described as “if Joni Mitchell and Aimee Mann had a baby with Charles Mingus.” She spends most of her time writing music for commercials and short films\, as well as playing keyboards and accordion with Public Universal Friend\, Sarah Grain & the Billions of Stars\, Nashville-based recording artist Brandon Whyde\, The Dopacetics\, Teresa Reynolds and the Slicktones\, and her own band Mina & the Wondrous Flying Machine. She has had the opportunity and privilege of opening for many wonderful artists including Becca Stevens\, Nathaniel Rateliff & the Nightsweats\, Blues Traveler\, Dwight Yoakam\, Esme Patterson & Robby Krieger.\nWe at Big Car are teaming up with Downtown Indy and the City of Indianapolis — with support from the Capital Improvement Board and the Indiana War Memorials Commission— to spark Monument Circle with human-scale activities like games\, live music\, artmaking\, and socializing in a comfortable place. We’re based in the southwest quadrant.

SUMMARY:Artist Workshop: Pyrography with Nasreen Khan
DESCRIPTION:Pyrography\, commonly known as wood burning\, is the art of drawing and writing using a burning tool for etching designs onto different surfaces\, usually wood. You can use pyrography to add drawings or writings to wood\, gourds\, leather\, and any other material that wouldn’t be destroyed by the heat from the burning tool. \nKhan will talk about the process\, give examples and allow attendees to try it out (must sign a waiver). \nIndianapolis-based artist Nasreen Khan grew up in West Africa and Indonesia and moved to the gritty American Midwest by way of New York City. She and her toddler son live in their bungalow on Indianapolis’ Near Westside. On a Friday night she can be found cooking various organ meats or chasing down a stellar mint julep. Her Indianapolis art is all a tribute to Haughville. Since moving to Indianapolis and putting down roots\, walking the streets of Haughville and becoming part of the fabric here has kept her grounded. Haughville has been the tableau for building community\, exploring her queer identity\, motherhood\, and teaching her son about race. \nWhat’s This? \nWe at Big Car are teaming up with Downtown Indy and the City of Indianapolis — with support from the Capital Improvement Board and the Indiana War Memorials Commission— to spark Monument Circle with human-scale activities like games\, live music\, artmaking\, and socializing in a comfortable place. We’re based from the southwest quadrant in front of the Emmis.

DESCRIPTION:Come to SPARK and join artist Mary Jo Bayliss and her apprentices to learn how to create pompoms and contribute them to her Taylor Swift inspired community artwork titled\, “The Village”. Visitors will be able to make pompoms that will be used in Mary Jo’s final piece! Come join in on this collaborative artwork and make sure to stop by the circle later to see the final finished piece when Taylor Swift enters her “Indy era” and performs in Indianapolis! \nA statement from Mary Jo Mayliss about this piece: \n“The Village” is about the power of women working together to create a better\, more equitable society. The iconography and rallying point for the activities is inspired by Taylor Swift\, and without her presence in Indianapolis\, this community artwork\, and its far reaching scope\, would not be possible–Thank you Taylor! The 13 elements that compose the artwork will be auctioned off at the end of Taylor’s Eras Indianapolis venue\, with proceeds being donated for Arts for Learning\, Big Car\, and Ivy Tech Art Department\, Indianapolis. \nMary Jo Bayliss specializes in creating environments that help people feel at ease using space\, light and color to achieve these goals. \nWe at Big Car are teaming up with Downtown Indy and the City of Indianapolis — with support from the Capital Improvement Board and the Indiana War Memorials Commission— to spark Monument Circle with human-scale activities like games\, live music\, artmaking\, and socializing in a comfortable place.

SUMMARY:Artist Workshop: Tarot With Brooklyn
DESCRIPTION:My name is Brooklyn and I help provide spiritual guidance through tarot readings! I specialize in first time readings because I love to challenge the stigma around tarot and providing guests with a comfy space and a meaningful experience. \nSPARK is a partnership with Downtown Indy @downtownindy the City of Indianapolis @indy_dmd and the Indiana War Memorials Commission – and funded by the Capital Improvements Board. It is a continuation of our work last year and in 2015 on the Circle.\nAt Big Car\, we approach our work at the Circle as a site- and community-specific socially engaged art and creative placemaking project. The SPARK on the Circle pop-up park was collaboratively designed with Indianapolis-based Merritt Chase to be a restorative public place where people of all walks of life can relax\, play\, socialize\, and engage with art and artists in the heart of our city.
