SUMMARY:Brian DePauli: Not Sorry We're Closed
DESCRIPTION:Not Sorry We’re Closed is an exhibition inspired by and questions American society’s live-to-work mentality\, and is comprised primarily of hyper-realistic oil paintings. DePauli’s pieces preserve and draw attention to objects and scenes from the lighter side of daily life: a worn bicycle seat\, a chimney on the grill in summer\, a homemade skate ramp in a fenced-in backyard\, a ballcap lying in the garden proclaiming “RETIRED\, No Phone! No Fax! No Stress! No Worries!” The surface meaning of these items and scenes are emphasized as a lifestyle to aspire to rather than objects to contemplate. \n“I am concerned with the cultural and environmental effects of America’s obsession with work\, as well as the physical and mental health ramifications\,” says DePauli. “In 1930\, distinguished economist John Maynard Keynes published a short essay\, ‘Economic Possibilities for Our Grandchildren\,’ where\, among other ideas\, he states that ‘by 2030 the standard of living would be dramatically higher; people\, liberated from want (and without the desire to consume for the sake of consumption)\, would work no more than fifteen hours a week\, devoting the rest of their time to leisure and culture.’ My work envisions a world where his prediction has come true.” \nAbout the artist \nBrian DePauli received his MA in visual art from Fontbonne University. His work has been exhibited widely throughout the St. Louis area at galleries including Fort Gondo\, Boots Contemporary Art\, and White Flag Projects\, as well as nationally at Around the Coyote in Chicago\, IL\, and The Berkeley Art Center in Berkeley\, CA. DePauli’s works have been featured in several publications and platforms\, such as New American Paintings and BOOOOOOOM. He has participated in residencies at The Luminary in St. Louis\, MO\, and Paul Art Space in Florissant\, MO. Brian DePauli lives and works in Saint Louis. \nThis exhibit is made possible by the Indy Arts Council\, The City of Indianapolis and Allen Whitehill Clowes Foundation. \n\nTube Factory artspace \nJeremy D Efroymson Gallery \nVISIT US\nWednesday -Friday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.\nSaturday & Sunday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.\nTube is also open until 10 p.m. each First Friday.\nClosed Holidays \nBig Car Collaborative brings art to people and people to art\, sparking creativity in lives to support communities. 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.

Games like foosball\, ping pong\, chess & checkers\, and giant Jenga are also available for additional entertainment. \nAll events are free at 320 N New Jersey Street in the greenspace right off the Cultural Trail. \n\nAbout Wick \nJohn Wick and Andrew Gustin met at IU Bloomington in 2006 and quickly bonded over similar music tastes. In 2007 they moved to Indianapolis and started an Indie Rock band called The Dwellers. The Dwellers were prolific and inspired by the DIY spirit and self released over 10 albums. In 2013 The Dwellers final album ‘Less is More’ was released by Jon Roger’s local label HIFR. \nIn 2021 John and Andrew reunited to make an album of songs John wrote in college. They started a new band called Wick and enlisted Dan Johnson to play drums and had John’s siblings Katie Jones and Ian Wick contribute with backing vocals on the album. Angel Baby is the single from the Wick album called “Forest” which will come out later in the year. \nThe band was joined by former Dwellers bassist Eric Brock to fill out the lineup. \nAbout the project \nA free gathering where knitting and graffiti collide! Simultaneously inspired by traditional knitting and graffiti\, this ever-evolving piece combines fiber adjacent activities\, coloring sheets derived from graffiti and knitting motifs\, and opportunities for participants to share their creative path stories.\nYou are invited to come join the fun\, because without YOU\, Boo\, this project can’t happen. Mary Jo Bayliss specializes in creating environments that help people feel at ease using space\, light and color to achieve these goals.
