Preceding his studies at the École Supérieure des Arts Appliqués Duperré and the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris\, and at Escola Massana\, Centre d’Art i Disseny in Barcelona\, he spent several years in Congo and in South America. \nThe experience with these different cultures\, the histories of which over centuries have been characterised by rich trading traditions\, colonialism and multi-ethnic societies\, has fostered Kader Attia’s intercultural and interdisciplinary approach of research. For many years\, he has been exploring the perspective that societies have on their history\, especially as regards experiences of deprivation and suppression\, violence and loss\, and how this affects the evolving of nations and individuals — each of them being connected to collective memory. \nHis socio-cultural research has led Kader Attia to the notion of Repair\, a concept he has been developing philosophically in his writings and symbolically in his oeuvre as a visual artist. With the principle of Repair being a constant in nature — thus also in humanity —\, any system\, social institution or cultural tradition can be considered as an infinite process of Repair\, which is closely linked to loss and wounds\, to recuperation and re-appropriation. Repair reaches far beyond the subject and connects the individual to gender\, philosophy\, science\, and architecture\, and also involves it in evolutionary processes in nature\, culture\, myth and history. \nIn 2016\, Kader Attia founded La Colonie\, a space in Paris to share ideas and to provide an agora for vivid discussion. Focussing on decolonialisation not only of peoples but also of knowledge\, attitudes and practices\, it aspires to de-compartmentalise knowledge by a trans-cultural\, trans-disciplinary and trans-generational approach. Driven by the urgency of social and cultural reparations\, it aims to reunite which has been shattered\, or drift apart. \nKader Attia’s work has been shown in  group shows and biennials such as the 12thShanghai Biennial; the 12th Gwangju Biennial; the 12th Manifesta\, Palermo; the 57th Venice Biennial; dOCUMENTA(13) in Kassel; Met Breuer\, New York; Kunsthalle Wien; MoMA\, New York; Tate Modern\, London; Centre Pompidou\, Paris; or The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum\, New York — just to name a few. Notable solo exhibitions include “The Museum of Emotion”\, The Hayward Gallery\, London; “Scars Remind Us that Our Past is Real”\, Fundacio Joan Miro\, Barcelona; “Roots also grow in concrete”\, MacVal in Vitry-sur-Seine; „The Field of Emotion“\, The Power Plant\, Toronto; Museum of Contemporary Art\, Sydney; “Repairing the Invisible”\, SMAK\, Ghent; Museum of Contemporary Art\, Sydney; “Sacrifice and Harmony”\, Museum für Moderne Kunst\, Frankfurt; “The Injuries are Here”\, Musée Cantonal des Beaux Arts de Lausanne; “Contre Nature”\, Beirut Art Center; “Continuum of Repair: The Light of Jacob’s Ladder”\, Whitechapel Gallery\, London; and KW Institute for Contemporary Art\, Berlin. \nIn 2016\, Kader Attia was awarded with the Marcel Duchamp Prize\, followed by the Prize of the Miró Foundation\, Barcelona\, and the Yanghyun Art Prize\, Seoul\, in 2017.

Monumental fashion accessories and gendered toys interrogate the true meaning of “status\,” while decadent\, Colonial aesthetics remind us how fragile national identity is\, and how frequently it depends on appearances. \nIs this a place of joy or fear? Does it welcome us in all our diversity\, or demand our assimilation? Like the guileless inhabitants of Mayorga’s thickly impastoed paintings\, the second we enter this uncanny\, celebratory-looking tableau\, we realize we are caught between a nightmare and a dream. \nIn partnership with Nopal Cultural and University of Indianapolis. \nMade possible by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts\, Christ Church Cathedral\, The Arts Council of Indianapolis\, Managed Health Services – MHS\,and Sun King Brewing Company. \nYvette Mayorga lives and works in Chicago. She earned her MFA in Fiber and Material Studies from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2016. Recent solo exhibitions include the Lubeznik Center for the Arts\, EXPO Chicago 2018\, The Vincent Price Art Museum\, The Chicago Cultural Center\, and The National Museum of Mexican Art. Her work has been featured in Hyperallergic\, The Guardian\, Art News\, and Teen Vogue\, among others.

He is most well-known for the early machine gun he invented\, to which he gave his name. The design for this gun began with farm equipment (also of his design)\, then took shape as a complete design and went into production during the 1860s in Indianapolis; the Gatling Gun Company was also formed and headquartered in the city during this time. Currently\, the only publicly extant evidence of Gatling’s life (and complicated legacy) in Indianapolis is in the form of a large grave memorial for his family in Crown Hill Cemetery. \nWalter Benjamin (1892-1940) was a literary critic\, essayist and\nphilosopher born in Berlin\, Germany; he spent most of his early life in Germany\, and subsequently he lived itinerantly throughout Europe. Benjamin had a complicated and largely unfruitful relationship with the German academic establishment\, and resulting from this and the scattered nature of his work in WWII-era Europe\, his writings (which have had a large impact on studies in the humanities and the arts) have been mostly published posthumously. His scripted work for the German radio during the years 1927-1933 has only recently been translated and published in English. \nBoth Richard Jordan Gatling and Walter Benjamin are relations in the artist’s family; as such the work presented here seeks to explore what connections can be made between them. \nwww.self-surveillance.tumblr.com \nThis project is made possible by support of the Indiana Arts Commission.

He returned to the United States\, moving to Houston\, Texas\, at the age of 15. He received a Bachelor of Arts from the University of St. Thomas\, Houston in 1986 and a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Houston in 1993. Currently\, Mr. Nakagawa is the Ruth N. Halls Distinguished Professor of Photography at Indiana University\, where he directs the Center for Integrative Photographic Studies. He lives and works in Bloomington\, Indiana. \nNakagawa is a recipient of the 2009 Guggenheim Fellowship\, the 2010 Higashikawa New Photographer of the Year\, and 2015 Sagamihara Photographer of the Year in Japan. Nakagawa’s work has been exhibited internationally\, solo exhibitions include: Eclipse\, PGI\, Tokyo (2018); Kai\, sepia EYE\, New York (2018); OKINAWA TRILOGY: Osamu James Nakagawa\, Kyoto University of Art and Design (2013);GAMA Caves\, PGI\, Tokyo; Banta: Stained Memory\, Sakima Art Museum\, Okinawa\, Japan (2009); Kai: Osamu James Nakagawa\, SEPIA International Inc.\, New York (2003). \nHis work is included in numerous public collections\, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art; George Eastman Museum; Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography; Museum of Fine Arts\, Houston; Sakima Art Museum\, Okinawa; The Museum of Contemporary Photography Chicago\, Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art\, Indianapolis Museum of Art\, Grand Rapid Museum of Art and others.

He studied art and literature at Indiana University and received his MFA from the University of Wisconsin\, Madison. His work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally. Much of his work combines disciplines\, incorporating found sculptural and print-based elements. His work explores concepts of institutional critique\, myth\, desire\, and master narratives. He finds all of these concepts rife for excavation in the consumer-based material world and the built environment. His process allows for a certain degree of chance or disorder to come into play\, which he believes enables the phenomenal world to speak for itself. \nMade possible by the Arts Council of Indianapolis.

The Talking Heads front man plays a visitor to Virgil\, Texas\, who introduces us to the citizens of the town during preparations for its Celebration of Specialness. As shot by cinematographer Ed Lachman\, Texas becomes a hyperrealistic late-capitalist landscape of endless vistas\, shopping malls\, and prefab metal buildings. In True Stories\, Byrne uses his songs to stitch together pop iconography\, voodoo rituals\, and a singular variety show—all in the service of uncovering the rich mysteries that lurk under the surface of everyday experience. \nPresented by Upland Brewing Company.

This is a DO NOT MISS show. \nOn-stage and on record\, Austin’s Mike and the Moonpies keep the torch of Texas country burning. Whether it’s a hardcore two-step\, freewheeling Western swing\, Doug Sahm‘s Cosmic American Music\, or George Strait‘s sweet\, burnished ballads\, Mike and the Moonpies tap into the traditions of the Lone Star State\, yet their music feels nimble and fresh thanks to their deft interplay and sly touch. \nA nascent version of Mike and the Moonpies premiered in 2008\, with guitarist Catlin Rutherford leading a variety of musicians through a Monday night residency at the Hole in the Wall\, a dive on the University of Texas drag. Toward 2010\, the band solidified around Rutherford\, vocalist Mike Harmeier\, steel guitarist Zach Moulton\, drummer Kyle Ponder\, and bassist Preston Rhone\, with this lineup releasing the independent The Real Countrythat year. Pianist John Carbone joined in 2011 and the band claimed the East Side venue the White Horse as its new Austin haunt. The following year found the band releasing its second album\, The Hard Way. \nAfter the release of The Hard Way\, Mike and the Moonpies continued to tour regularly\, expanding to the rest of Texas. The group’s third album\, 2015’s Mockingbird\, began to earn the group attention outside of Texas. After delivering a double live album called Live at WinStar World Casino & Resortin 2016\, the group returned in early 2018 with its fourth studio album\, Steak Night at the Prairie Rose.

Nakagawa’s work will consist of an installation of cyanotype prints created while in Okinawa. Green’s new work extends his exploration of monumentality and power through the language of architectural blueprints. The two seemingly disparate bodies of work present the question: How do the forces of power and control manifest themselves in real\, immediate ways and in our collective conscious? \nFENCES \nIn James Nakagawa’s work\, the landscape often functions as a witness to history and suffering\, as well as a platform to examine conflicts political and personal in nature. Raised in Tokyo\, Japan\, his family moved to Houston\, Texas when he was fifteen. As an artist he mines the complicated pasts of both countries\, touching on issues related to nationalism\, family\, pop-culture\, tensions between eastern and western ideals\, and war. Since 2006\, James has produced several series reflecting on the legacy of World War II and Japan-U.S. relations on Okinawa. \nNakagawa started FENCES several years ago\, as he was visiting the island to complete MAPS\, a series using a frottage technique to create rubbings of words from war memorials. During this time\, he had received permission to photograph inside a U.S. base looking through the fence at Okinawa. Nakagawa’s clearance was revoked before he could begin the project following a disagreement with the colonel assigned to him as a PR liaison. The conversation concerned the benefits of the U.S. military station to the island population. In reaction to this change of circumstance and the protests over the Henoko relocation\, Nakagawa used leftover paper and cyanotype chemistry to make photograms of the outside of the base’s fence. \nThe planned installation of the work is key to counteracting the associated clichés. When James made the photograms\, he did not align the sheets of paper in the same orientation against the fence. Presented in grids on four sides of a wall\, the images are forceful and oppressive. Viewed edge to edge they crackle with energy and immediacy. The experience is disorienting; the barrier feels like it is both advancing and receding. Without an accompanying statement\, this project would provoke more questions than answers—on which side is the photographer? Is the viewer looking up or standing squarely in front of it; are they floating? Like his prior work\, he taps into feelings of claustrophobia\, visualizing the latent histories that continue to linger in the Okinawan landscape. \nIMPERIA | THE BENEFACTOR \nConner Green seeks to investigate the social ramifications of monumental architecture through collages of found materials\, drawings\, and photographs. “I understand ‘architecture’ to refer to more than just the design and decoration of buildings\, but also to how thought or action can make order and meaning out of random space\,” Green says. “My work\, in part\, attempts to excavate those embedded meanings.” To create his work\, Green digitally assembles his materials into sketchy\, black inkjet prints that resemble schematic drawings or computer renderings\, producing a sense of disorder in the otherwise highly organized and rigid\, even scientific\, discourse of architecture. The rendered forms do not refer to any extant structures\, rather they attempt to portray a kind of typological composite of different built forms throughout history. \nOsamu James Nakagawa was born in New York City in 1962 and raised in Tokyo. He returned to the United States\, moving to Houston\, Texas\, at the age of 15. He received a Bachelor of Arts from the University of St. Thomas\, Houston in 1986 and a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Houston in 1993. Currently\, Mr. Nakagawa is the Ruth N. Halls Distinguished Professor of Photography at Indiana University\, where he directs the Center for Integrative Photographic Studies. He lives and works in Bloomington\, Indiana. \nNakagawa is a recipient of the 2009 Guggenheim Fellowship\, the 2010 Higashikawa New Photographer of the Year\, and 2015 Sagamihara Photographer of the Year in Japan. Nakagawa’s work has been exhibited internationally\, solo exhibitions include: Eclipse\, PGI\, Tokyo (2018); Kai\, sepia EYE\, New York (2018); OKINAWA TRILOGY: Osamu James Nakagawa\, Kyoto University of Art and Design (2013);GAMA Caves\, PGI\, Tokyo; Banta: Stained Memory\, Sakima Art Museum\, Okinawa\, Japan (2009); Kai: Osamu James Nakagawa\, SEPIA International Inc.\, New York (2003). \nHis work is included in numerous public collections\, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art; George Eastman Museum; Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography; Museum of Fine Arts\, Houston; Sakima Art Museum\, Okinawa; The Museum of Contemporary Photography Chicago\, Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art\, Indianapolis Museum of Art\, Grand Rapid Museum of Art and others. Nakagawa’s monograph GAMA Cavesis available from Akaaka Art Publisher in Tokyo\, Japan. \nConner Green (born 1984) is an artist from Indianapolis\, IN. He studied art and literature at Indiana University and received his MFA from the University of Wisconsin\, Madison. His work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally. Much of his work combines disciplines\, incorporating found sculptural and print-based elements. His work explores concepts of institutional critique\, myth\, desire\, and master narratives. He finds all of these concepts rife for excavation in the consumer-based material world and the built environment. His process allows for a certain degree of chance or disorder to come into play\, which he believes enables the phenomenal world to speak for itself.
