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.

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.

DESCRIPTION:The event will begin with a Q&A panel moderated by DJ Space Bunz.

Participants will have an opportunity to learn from our panelists and network. Following the break out\, there will be a quick Back-To-Back DJing session from our panel of DJ’s and guests will be encouraged to dance! \nThe event will be broadcast on Listen Hear Radio WQRT 99.1 and is in collaboration with Tube Factory Art Space\, Red Bull\, Deckademics\, Girls Rock Indianapolis and Indy.fm. \nThe event is 18+ and beverages will be available for purchase for the 21+ crowd. \nWe are excited for you to join us! \nBelow you will find more information about our moderator and each of our panelists! \nDJ Space Bunz @brianachele: DJ Space Bunz is 5 years in the craft. She currently spins an open music format at various clubs and events in the city & is a part of a local DJ collective\, Club Plex. She believes that music has the power & potential to transform the energetic field of any environment. \nDJ Little Town @djlittletown: Indianapolis born with dual citizenship belonging to Brazil\, Little Town is an eclectic music selector that has been DJing for nearly a decade around the world. She is highly adaptive to her audience; playing multi-genre dance parties\, Top-40 venues across the city\, underground techno clubs\, all vinyl DJ nights\, and private events. \nDJ Annie D @anniedulhanty: A true open format DJ\, Annie D has cultivated a brand based on her love for all music genres\, her western and edgy style\, and her motivation and passion to maintain the party at any venue. Her ability to weave through and touch all genres of music during her party driven sets has molded her club/event driven career.

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.
