SUMMARY:Nasreen Khan: Cic·a·trix
DESCRIPTION:The narrative of femininity is pain.\nCicatrix: the scar of a healed wound. In botany\, cicatrix refers to the keloid mark left on a tree after a piece of it has been removed. In this body of work\, I am exploring the personal maternal scar of being taken away from the only real parental figure I had until that point in life\, the complex scars of colonialism and immigration\, and the physical scars of my own body.\n\nI spent the first part of my life in Senegal\, West Africa. I was raised by my nanny\, a Senegalese woman named Saly. In Senegal there is a practice called diamou\, or gum tattooing and burning. A hot needle is repeatedly poked into a woman’s gums. Then a mixture of burnt oil and shea butter is rubbed into the wounds to darken the space around the teeth. This is supposed to make the woman more beautiful\, but also to train her to tolerate pain. When I was 9\, Sali began tattooing my gums to blacken them. She was never able to finish. I spent the second half of my life in Indonesia. Saly died the year after we left Africa.\n\nThe architect and urban planner\, Le Corbusier\, wrote about humanity as born in a state of insufficiency\, therefore needing “auxiliary organs.” For Le Corbusier\, our built environments\, including building architecture\, become prosthetic extensions of our insufficient human bodies. His thoughts form the basis for contemporary prosthetic theory\, often cited in the world of AI and tech innovation. For example\, a computer mouse pad becomes an extension of our internal understanding of reality\, as it is the “limb” we use to create changes in our virtual realities.\n\nImmigration is both an amputation and a taking on of prosthesis through cultural assimilation in a new built environment. The relationships we leave behind are an extension of ourselves. Their separation leaves a wound\, then a scab\, then a callous on which the new ones rest like a prosthetic limb.\n\nI draw on concepts of scarification and prosthesis in this body of work. The collections of dots and lines that form many of the backgrounds are translated from traditional African scarification patterns. I choose to work burning on wood\, mirroring the tattoos on my gums. The tree limbs and bark are functionally akin to scarred skin and flesh.\n\nThe cultural narrative of femininity I was taught as a child was –to be woman was to endure pain–and to be a good woman\, was to endure pain quietly. Once I immigrated to America\, the messaging about what it meant to be a woman changed only slightly. I am in pain. The pain I experience is often dismissed\, by the immigration and medical systems\, by male partners\, by respectability culture.These works are manifestations of the silent scaring and re-wounding that many women experience. They challenge and subvert these narratives through their size and emotionality. The use of a once living medium is a metaphor for womanhood and immigration.\nRun your fingers on the raised welts in the wood. Touch pain.\n\nAbout the Artist\nNasreen Khan (she/her) is a writer\, visual artist\, teacher\, and mother. She grew up in West Africa and Indonesia and has recently made a home in Indianapolis. Her teaching and artistic practices\, rooted in questions of equity and earth-based spirituality\, grapple with questions of belonging; celebrate cultural margins; and confront colonization\, racism\, and misogyny.\nIG: @heyitsnasreen\nWebsite: https://nasreen-khan.com/\n\nJune 2-July 23\nJeremy D. Efroymson Gallery\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\nMade possible by The Arts Council of Indianapolis\, The City of Indianapolis\, Allen Whitehill Clowes Charitable Foundation and more.

SUMMARY:Haykidd &Thee Black Card-Hey Black Kidd
DESCRIPTION:“Hey Black Kidd” is a collaborative body of work created by painter\, Haykidd (Greg Rose) and mixed media artist\, Thee Black Card (Sarah Jene). The exhibit is a celebration of self\, full realization and acknowledgement of who you are\, where you are and what you have– from their perspectives.\n\nPairing Thee Black Card’s rich cultural mixed media work and Haykidd’s imaginative approach to storytelling\, these artists tell a story of resilience\, joy and virtue in 14 pieces.\n\nThe exhibit is inspired by this poem written by Useni Perkins:\n“Hey Black Child\nDo you know who you are\nWho you really are\nDo you know you can be\nWhat you want to be\nIf you try to be\nWhat you can be\nHey black child\nDo you know where you are going\nWhere you’re really going\nDo you know you can learn\nWhat you want to learn\nWhat you can learn\nHey Black child\nDo you know you are strong\nI mean really strong\nDo you know you can do\nWhat you want to do\nIf you try to do\nWhat you can do\nHey Black child\nBe what you can do\nLearn what you must learn\nDo what you can do\nAnd tomorrow your nation\nWill be what you want it to be”\n\nThis exhibit opens in our Listen Hear Gallery located at 2625 Shelby St.

SUMMARY:Marianne Glick: What Lies Beneath
DESCRIPTION:“All the paintings in this exhibit have multiple layers. The initial impression of the painting from a distance will change as you get closer-you will see more depth and dimension -things you maybe didn’t notice at first. I think this is a reflection of life. Often we make judgements based on first impressions\, but once we get closer to someone\, we realize that there is much more…beneath the surface.”– Marianne Glick\n\n\nAbout the artist\nLooking for a way to positively approach the winter months after a career in corporate training\, Marianne began painting in September of 2005. Her love of gardening inspired many of her early paintings. Most of her recent work is abstract. She often uses more than one medium in her work\, combining watercolor\, acrylic and some collage to create pieces that reflect her exuberant nature. “I have worked in a variety of media and am now focusing on acrylics. I enjoy the use of rich colors and textures in my work. Exploring the interplay between transparent & opaque\, warm & cool\, brush work and pouring fascinates me. Most recently\, I have been delving deeper by creating multiple layers and sanding back to reveal parts of early layers in the final painting.”\n\nMarianne’s paintings have been accepted in juried competitions sponsored by the Hoosier Salon\, California Art Day\, Indianapolis Art Center\, International Society of Acrylic Painters\, International Society of Experimental Artists\, Midwest Abstract National Exhibit\, Watercolor Society of Indiana\, and Women’s’ Works . Marianne likes to donate paintings to benefit some of her favorite non-profit organizations. To date she has donated paintings or profits from paintings to Women’s Fund\, Dress for Success\, Community Health Network Foundation\, Joy’s House\, Girls\, Inc.\, Planned Parenthood\, Indianapolis Symphony\, Indianapolis Library and United Way.\nMarianne now serves on the board of directors for the Glick Family Foundation\, the Gene Glick Company\, the Glick Housing Foundation\, ASCEND\, Central Indiana Community Foundation\, Ivy Tech Community College\, RISE Indy\, TeenWorks and United Way of Central Indiana.\nHer personal mission is to ignite\, inspire and direct energy for positive action. Her paintings allow her to colorfully express her mission and hopefully bring joy to those who view them.

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.

SUMMARY:Justin Cooper-Archetypes
DESCRIPTION:“In 2015 — after over a decade of painting and art making — I asked myself what brought me to want to create in the first place. Thinking back to my childhood\, it was probably directly linked to enjoying playing with plastic blocks and how excited I was to get my hands on a grid-lined sketchbook. I would design my own toys and sketch out the floor plans for houses\, cars and symmetrical objects.\n\nAs I looked back\, I started to remember what I loved about the creative process. And I used that reflection as a direct influence on a new approach to my work. I applied this to\, at first\, designing objects and components to paintings that could be replicated\, multiplied\, and combined to eventually create an environment or larger narrative pieces. I spent the first few years of this process building up a catalog of shapes. I’ve always been drawn to plants and wildlife. So I started designing single lily pads\, flowers and animals that could later be placed into different contexts. I approached the planning of these individual components like I would an isometric architectural diagram. The geometric abstraction was also influenced by the ever increasing construction of blocklike buildings in my neighborhood — as well as all of the digital media that was and is still expanding. The paintings are a direct reflection of the urbanization and technology that is growing around us.\n\nAcknowledging my own arrogance in the interpretation and redesigning of natural forms\, this series is a reflection of a larger trend of attempting to bend nature to our will rather than being inspired by its lead and flowing within it. I created these works with the hope that humans can look more to nature for inspiration and shift our viewpoint of our role within it to correct our disruptive path.” –Justin Cooper\n\nAbout Justin Cooper\nCooper is an Indianapolis native who has worked as an artist here for over 20 years. He spent most of that time as a studio artist. Central to Cooper’s artistic evolution has been independently developing my artistic voice while forming relationships with artists he connected with while maintaining studios at the Murphy Art Center\, Wheeler Arts Community\, and as an artist in Big Car’s Artist and Public Life Residency program.\nIn the studio\, he concentrates on creating multiple series that will eventually go together and be displayed as cohesive bodies of work. “I’ve always enjoyed learning new mediums and techniques to incorporate into pieces in hopes of expanding my visual language\,” Cooper says. In recent years his interest has increased in creating larger-scale mural projects and public art. “Experimenting with the scale and design of an image while being thoughtful of how the piece will be viewed from different distances has been intriguing to me. The consideration of placement and the context of the image as it relates to its surrounding environment has been an interesting challenge\,” he adds.\n\nThis exhibit is made possible by The Arts Council of Indianapolis\, The City of Indianapolis and Allen Whitehill Clowes Foundation.\n\nMain Gallery\nTube Factory art space\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

SUMMARY:Cyanotype Workshop with Aurora PhotoCenter
DESCRIPTION:Cyanotype is a camera-less photography made out in the sun\, rather than in a darkroom. You place objects — such as plants — on top of a piece of photo-treated paper\, and then use the sun to expose the paper. The result is an image that is an exact outline of the object. It’s a fun and magical way to engage photography! Although it may be new to modern people\, cyanotype has been around since photography was invented in the 1800s.\nCome explore the creative possibilities of this fascinating process!\nWe will have some objects on hand to experiment with\, but feel free to bring your own objects. Flat items usually work best\, and cyanotype can be messy\, so precious things like family heirlooms should probably stay at home. All other necessary materials will be provided free at the workshop.\nIn partnership with Aurora PhotoCenter for SPARK on the Circle.\nThis activity is best suited for artists 7+ years old; minors must be accompanied by an adult.\n\nWho?
