SUMMARY:Kipp Normand: Snake Oil\, A Fantastical American History
DESCRIPTION:Artist and historian Kipp Normand’s practice is a physical and conceptual investigation into the power of objects and images as a narrative device. Inspired by the Dada traditions of assemblage\, collage\, construction\, and performance\, Normand employs the acts of appropriation\, reuse\, and recontextualization to explore contemporary perceptions of time\, community\, and memory. In Snake Oil\, Normand distills four centuries of history to illustrate the deep-seated American penchant for fantastical thinking. Part world’s fair exhibit\, huckster wagon\, dime museum\, and midway arcade; Snake Oil is a multifaceted installation that challenges the viewer to re-examine the ideas of American Exceptionalism. Imbued with satire and mixed with painful truths\, this haunted temple of junk casts a sideways glance at the tales we tell our children and ourselves about who we are and how we got here.\nNormand — who maintains a studio and workspace in Indianapolis where he creates dynamic works of visual art infused with narratives of culture\, community\, and history — is a scavenger and an obsessive collector. He searches back streets and alleys\, junk stores and abandoned buildings\, looking for clues to explain the mysteries of our world. Normand finds stories in discarded things: Stories about all of us\, our cities\, and our shared history. He first began making collage images\, shadow boxes\, and installations as a way to justify his relentless collecting. But the work soon became much more than that. It is Normand’s way to dig deeply into the vast attic of this world and to share his finds with anyone who takes the time to look. He holds a Master’s degree in American Studies from the University of Notre Dame and worked nearly 30 years in the field of heritage preservation and housing reform before turning to the practice of art.

SUMMARY:TJ Reynolds:We Catch the Light\, Reflections on Black Skin
DESCRIPTION:Those of African descent are the most underrepresented group in the world of fine art.  Black faces are beautiful. Digging deeper\, we see that by working on black surfaces with white ink & paint\, Reynolds draws in the light instead of the shadow\, with emotive figures emerging from the deep\, catching light in the way only melanin can. The stylized nature of the drawings reveals a complexity of shapes and linework\, in patterns that evoke both ancient art and futuristic graphic design. The artist is also exploring his own ethnic heritage\, examining roots he can only piece together\, going so far as to trace his last name to the tradition of slaves taking on the surname of their master\, in this case the RJ Reynolds tobacco fields. Prints will also be available of all work.\nTJReynolds.net\n\n~~~~~~~~~~\n\nTJ Reynolds is a multi-discipline artist and educator whose mission it is to spread the power of creativity and community. Visual artist\, animator\, director\, M.C.\, producer\, multi-instrumentalist and poet are just some of the creative avenues Reynolds travels on his exploits. As an educator\, he has worked with thousands of students and adults in every conceivable setting; preschool through college\, prisons and gifted schools\, though his message remains the same; we must use art and expression to connect to each other and the world around us. Reynolds has been the recipient of numerous awards\, including a Nuvo Cultural Visionary Award\, Spirit of Herron (School of Art) Award\, and the first ever hip-hop artist to be named a Creative Renewal Fellow from the Arts Council of Indianapolis. His music has been featured nationally on NPR\, and he has won rap battles\, poetry slams and a Moth Story Slam. This is Reynolds first solo art show.\n\n~~~~~~~~~\n\nWith performances by TJ Reynolds\, Teresa Reynolds\, Tatjana Rebelle\, Derrick Slack\n\n\nAs part of my We Catch the Light\, Reynolds asked some prominent black Indianapolis poets & singers to select someone who was influential to them in their life. He will create a portrait of that person\, and the guest artist will perform a piece dedicated to them at the opening Feb 7 for a unique\, one time happening bringing poetry\, song and visual art together.

SUMMARY:Kevin O. Mooney: 366247•2012
DESCRIPTION:Time. How do you perceive it? Is it fleeting or does it seem to go on forever? When did you first become aware of “time”? Do the minutes\, hours\, days blend together? Are the memories of events just as vivid now as when they actually occurred? Do memories play a significant role in what time means to you?\nWhere does the “time” go? Is it measured in the outcomes of our daily routines or in the singular outliers\, the spectacular moments that occur irregularly and unexpectedly? This piece reveals my regimented routines over the course of a single year. When interacting with the piece\, these routines become patterns. When the patterns change\, the viewer is left to consider the reason why.\nThe images presented are my visual memories of events. In watching the piece\, viewers have the opportunity to consider the past and the future simultaneously\, to see the outcome before the event has actually occurred. The entire year (2012) is presented as a grid\, with each image representing a day in each month of the year\, starting at approximately midnight on the first day of each month and continuing to the final day of the month. From left to right\, January through December is presented in its entirety until each fades into darkness. By de- constructing how a visual representation of a year is normally presented\, the viewer visits an abstract representation of that year. Ultimately\, a year of my life is presented in an hour\, offering the viewer an opportunity to participate and find meaning in my mundane activities while simultaneously reexamining their own unrecognized minutes\, hours and days.\n366247•2012 is a time-based piece\, rooted in still photography\, and can be presented as a video or video projection installation. The more than 256\,000 still images\, presented as a photographic stop-motion animation\, allow the viewer to witness my day-to-day routines\, the same acts that everyone engages in on a regular or daily basis. \nKevin O. Mooney (b. 1957) is an educator and fine artist as well as a successful commercial photographer. He received his BS from Southern Illinois University and his MFA from Indiana University Bloomington. Mooney has been the recipient of Artist Fellowship from the Illinois Arts Council in 1987. His photographic work is included in collections at the Museum of Fine Arts\, Houston\, Kinsey Institute in Bloomington\, Indiana\, the Illinois State Museum in Springfield\, Illinois\, Central Washington University in Ellensburg\, Washington and the Eastman Kodak Company in Rochester\, New York. His work has been exhibited at the MFAH\, Catherine Edelman Gallery Chicago\, Pictura Gallery at FAR Center for Contemporary Arts\, Grunwald Gallery of Art\, Gallery 312 and the Chicago Architecture Foundation as well as internationally at the Lee Yongjae Architects’ Window Gallery\, and the Seoul Lunar Photo Fest\, Lunar Photo Night Seoul\, Korea. His project\, 366247•2012 was just chosen by Center Santa Fe for the 2019 Excellence in Multimedia Award. His current work continues to investigate self\, consciousness\, and individuality through sequentially presented still photographs arranged as a stop-motion animation. He blurs the edges between various disciplines within the photographic field as well as those between photography and other digital media. \nThe exhibit runs through February 22 in the Jeremy D. Efroymson Gallery. \nMade possible by the Arts Council of Indianapolis\, Sun King Brewery and Ash & Elm Cider Co..

At the age of 12 I graduated from my dance school in Ecuador and started assisting teachers\, after only 1 year they gave me a class of girls from 7-8 years old and was amazingly fun. I was also part of 3 different dance groups plus high-school\, (I dont even know how). When I was 18 I decided I wanted to study abroad and so I went to Argentina and auditioned for an Afro-Contemporary dance group in which we performed at private and community events and was a great experience.\nIn 2015 I came back to USA to follow my roots in Florida where I did my training in Zumba and fell in love with it.  I started teaching a month after my training in different locations\, until Sept. 2018 when I moved to Indy to start a new and exciting life.\nI truly love it here and I have always enjoyed the feeling of giving something of what I know so I want to share all of it with you!!! \nUn poco sobre Michelle Carson\nNació en Estados Unidos\, creció en Ecuador y viajó por otros lugares que se sienten como en casa.\nComencé a dar clases de baile temprano en mi vida. A la edad de 12 años me gradué de mi escuela de baile en Ecuador y comencé a asistir a maestros\, después de solo 1 año me dieron una clase de niñas de 7-8 años y fue increíblemente divertida. También formé parte de 3 grupos de baile diferentes más la escuela secundaria\, (ni siquiera sé cómo). Cuando tenía 18 años decidí que quería estudiar en el extranjero\, así que fui a Argentina y hice una audición para un grupo de danza afro-contemporánea en el que actuamos en eventos privados y comunitarios y fue una gran experiencia.\nEn 2015 regresé a EE. UU. Para seguir mis raíces en Florida\, donde hice mi entrenamiento en Zumba y me enamoré de él.\nComencé a enseñar un mes después de mi entrenamiento en diferentes lugares\, hasta septiembre de 2018\, cuando me mudé a Indy para comenzar una nueva y emocionante vida.\nRealmente me encanta aquí y siempre he disfrutado la sensación de dar algo de lo que sé\, así que quiero compartirlo todo contigo. \nDonation suggested.

SUMMARY:Social Alchemy Public Meeting
DESCRIPTION:New Harmony residents are invited to our first public meeting of 2020 to help plan for Social Alchemy\, a series of events connecting New Harmony and Indianapolis! These monthly meet ups in New Harmony invite residents to meet those involved in proposing this project and become part of it! \nNew Harmony\, Indiana brims with art\, history\, architecture\, and a strong sense of place. The impact of past and current efforts within this community have created a town that continues to represent the universal human condition. If Indianapolis is the head of the body of Indiana\, New Harmony is its soul. \nWhat can we in urban Indianapolis learn from rural New Harmony’s social alchemy? Tons. With support of Indiana Humanities and the Efroymson Family fund and our partners — University of Southern Indiana\, Indiana State Museum\, Historic New Harmony\, New Harmony Workingmen’s Institute Central Library\, and lots of individuals –– we will explore\, learn and share how the pursuit of utopia forms places and pursuits. \nWHY IS BIG CAR INVOLVED?\nWe’re fascinated by people who strive for utopia and by intentional communities: Past\, present\, and future. Our overarching goal for the Cruft Street Commons project in Garfield Park is to develop an arts-focused\, socially cohesive block. And a key inspiration is the southwestern Indiana town\, New Harmony — location of multiple and varied utopian experiments. \nTHE PROGRAM\nThis idea started with visits by Big Car Collaborative/Tube Factory artspace curator\, Shauta Marsh\, and artist and writer Jim Walker\, to New Harmony over the past several years and conversations with artist\, writer\, and philanthropist Jeremy Efroymson — who lives\, part-time\, in New Harmony — and New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art director Garry Holstein. It is made possible by Indiana Humanities and The Efroymson Family Fund. \nWHAT WE’RE DOING:\n• An interdisciplinary exhibition at the New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art focused on New Harmony’s visionary civic leader and preservationist Jane Owen (1915–2010).\n• An exhibition at the Tube Factory about the history and art of New Harmony (designed to travel)\, with emphasis on Angel in the Forest and visual interpretations of this lyrical text.\n• A film series of documentaries and feature films related to placemaking experiments.\n• Community meals\, one in New Harmony and one in Garfield Park.\n• A two-day symposium in October 2020 in New Harmony to include philosophers\, writers\, historians\, designers\, architects\, placemakers\, urban and rural city planners\, politicians\, and community organizers.\n• Two Tube Factory exhibitions by Native American artists Elisa Harkins (in 2021) and Wendy Red Star (in 2022): both creative responses to their peoples’ forced dystopias\, with ideas for cultural renewal. \nTHE IMPACT\nThis project explores historical and contemporary examples of utopian experiments\, fictional utopias and dystopias\, and social design projects. It offers a deeper understanding of the relationship between the built environment and social good. \nPROJECT PARTNERS\nUniversity of Southern Indiana: As the administrator of both Historic New Harmony and the New Harmony Gallery\, USI is encouraging staff\, professors\, and students to participate in the project.\nHistoric New Harmony: HNH will host programs\, help to develop the exhibitions\, and help travel the New Harmony exhibition about after its Indianapolis debut.\nNew Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art: The gallery will host the Jane Owen exhibition.\nIndiana State Museum: The museum will be assisting with research\, and help with didactics.\nPattern will be a promotional partner alongside Big Car’s low-power radio station 99.1 WQRT FM.

SUMMARY:Neil Cain: Shadow's Prism
DESCRIPTION:“These works are a reaction to what I view as a consciousness bias in our culture towards ordered states of being and thinking. I believe this bias contributes to individualistic resource management\, social division\, and centralized state control\, and that the artist must counteract these forces by presenting harmonious alternatives. I paint to present the beauty of ordered and non-ordered states interacting. I see each as integral to the full expression of the other and essential to true understanding.” \nNeil Cain is an Indianapolis-native who began painting in 2002. His collections pull inspiration from his work in photography\, utilizing movement\, exposure\, layering\, and an increasingly polarized dialogue between ordered and chaotic elements. Trained as a music composer\, Neil uses similar foundational concepts in his painting by working in harmonic terms\, with ratios of frequencies juxtaposed against one another with or without bounding. ‘Form in flux’ and ‘magnetism of coherence’ form the conceptual framework for his most recent collections. He lives and works in Bloomington\, Indiana with his wife\, Jenny Ollikainen\, their cat daughter\, Little Cow\, and many plants friends. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally. \nJoin us for First Friday in January to catch the opening reception of Shadow’s Prism from 6-10pm. \nThis show will be available from January 3-24. \nGuichelaar Gallery\n1135 Cruft Street Indianapolis\, IN 46203\nAvailable by appointment

SUMMARY:Priya Wittman: Stormy Weather
DESCRIPTION:“My recent installations are best described as landscapes created through expanded painting techniques. I gravitate toward materials that are accessible and quotidian\, yet also project certain elemental qualities\, such as light\, space\, or line. The interspersion of miniature sculpture within the landscape brings a human component into the otherwise formal work. The sculpture are stand ins for myself — they are observing\, contemplating\, elucidating their physical and mental environment. They remind me that ultimately my work is centered on describing the human condition to the maximum extent that I can perceive it.” \nStormy Weather depicts cyclical expressions of anxiety by layering patterns repeatedly into surfaces and space. The paintings and assemblages explore intimate\, personal anxiety\, and multiply/mirror/repeat the individual to reflect a larger communal state of unease and worry — a collective angst. Uncertainty is stressful\, but it is a precursor to transformation. Perhaps this low level sense of dread is a catalyst for a shift\, a renewal. Despite the angst\, these artworks are ultimately optimistic. Similar to uncertainty\, the anxious processes of layering and repetition are the means of revealing clarity\, light\, and sublime color interaction. Sunlight is rarely more beautiful than when it follows a storm. \nPriya Wittman is an artist living and working in Indianapolis. She received her BFA in 2011 and MFA in 2016 from Herron School of Art & Design in Indianapolis. She has been the recipient of multiple scholarships and awards\, including a summer fellowship award in 2009 at Ox-Box School of Art in Saugatuck\, Michigan. She has exhibited in several states across the US\, and completed a residency at AIR Studio Paducah in Kentucky. In addition to her studio practice\, she periodically teaches painting and drawing courses as adjunct faculty at Herron School of Art\, and works at Ignition Arts\, an arts fabrication company based in Indianapolis. \n\nJoin us for First Friday in January to catch the opening reception of Stormy Weather from 6-10pm. \nThis show will be available from January 3-24. \nEfroymson Gallery\n1125 Cruft Street Indianapolis\, IN 46203\nM-F (7am-6pm) \nSa (8am-3pm)

SUMMARY:Social Alchemy Meet & Greet
DESCRIPTION:2020 will kick off Social Alchemy\, a series of events connecting New Harmony and Indianapolis. Meet up with everyone involved in proposing this project and become part of it! \nNew Harmony\, Indiana brims with art\, history\, architecture\, and a strong sense of place. The impact of past and current efforts within this community have created a town that continues to represent the universal human condition. If Indianapolis is the head of the body of Indiana\, New Harmony is its soul. \nWhat can we in urban Indianapolis learn from rural New Harmony’s social alchemy? Tons. With support of Indiana Humanities and the Efroymson Family fund and our partners — University of Southern Indiana\, Indiana State Museum\, Historic New Harmony\, New Harmony Workingmen’s Institute Central Library\, and lots of individuals –– we will explore\, learn and share how the pursuit of utopia forms places and pursuits. \nWHY IS BIG CAR INVOLVED?\nWe’re fascinated by people who strive for utopia and by intentional communities: Past\, present\, and future. Our overarching goal for the Cruft Street Commons project in Garfield Park is to develop an arts-focused\, socially cohesive block. And a key inspiration is the southwestern Indiana town\, New Harmony — location of multiple and varied utopian experiments. \nTHE PROGRAM\nThis idea started with visits by Big Car Collaborative/Tube Factory artspace curator\, Shauta Marsh\, and artist and writer Jim Walker\, to New Harmony over the past several years and conversations with artist\, writer\, and philanthropist Jeremy Efroymson — who lives\, part-time\, in New Harmony — and New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art director Garry Holstein. \nWHAT WE’RE DOING:\n• An interdisciplinary exhibition at the New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art focused on New Harmony’s visionary civic leader and preservationist Jane Owen (1915–2010).\n• An exhibition at the Tube Factory about the history and art of New Harmony (designed to travel)\, with emphasis on Angel in the Forest and visual interpretations of this lyrical text.\n• A film series of documentaries and feature films related to placemaking experiments.\n• Community meals\, one in New Harmony and one in Garfield Park.\n• A two-day symposium in October 2020 in New Harmony to include philosophers\, writers\, historians\, designers\, architects\, placemakers\, urban and rural city planners\, politicians\, and community organizers.\n• Two Tube Factory exhibitions by Native American artists Elisa Harkins (in 2021) and Wendy Red Star (in 2022): both creative responses to their peoples’ forced dystopias\, with ideas for cultural renewal. \nTHE IMPACT\nThis project explores historical and contemporary examples of utopian experiments\, fictional utopias and dystopias\, and social design projects. It offers a deeper understanding of the relationship between the built environment and social good. \nPROJECT PARTNERS\nUniversity of Southern Indiana: As the administrator of both Historic New Harmony and the New Harmony Gallery\, USI is encouraging staff\, professors\, and students to participate in the project.\nHistoric New Harmony: HNH will host programs\, help to develop the exhibitions\, and help travel the New Harmony exhibition about after its Indianapolis debut.\nNew Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art: The gallery will host the Jane Owen exhibition.\nNew Harmony Working Men’s Institute: This library/museum will help with historical research and lend artifacts for exhibitions\nIndiana State Museum: The museum will be assisting with research\, and help with didactics.\nPattern: Pattern Magazine will be a promotional partner alongside Big Car’s low-power radio station 99.1 WQRT FM.

SUMMARY:Shane Smith & The Saint presented by 99.1 WQRT's Rhinestone Country
DESCRIPTION:Now three albums and nearly 10 years into their career\, Shane Smith & the Saints are ready to go for broke. “It pretty much summarizes where we are as a band and where I am as an individual after pursuing this for practically the last decade\,” Smith says of Hail Mary. “We’re a scrappy group of guys and this is more or less one of those moments where we’re really trying to put it all out there. We’re trying to give it our best shot on this record.”

SUMMARY:David Lanch: Visions From Another World.
DESCRIPTION:Presented in partnership with the Consulado de México en Indianápolis \n.\nFor the last 40 years\, David Lanch has worked with plastic\, which is part of the industrial technology of our current world\, and it has been his research work to apply it to painting\, and architectural integration to find man in his habitat.\nIn his work he uses fiberglass\, polymers and resins\, materials that had not been used in our society until after World War II. In his search\, he uses science fiction as an indispensable concept for mass catharsis.\nIn fiberglass painting he found the ideal means to express his vision of other worlds; textures\, colors\, surfaces illuminated and reflected in stainless steel\, mirrors\, natural or artificial light; an ideal world for your vision of a different landscape\, the mountains\, the seas\, the unknown habitat\, where the physical and chemical phenomena\, and the realities of the micro and macro cosmos\, follow the same principles that govern our planet and as far as We know\, of the universe.\nWhen exploring all these materials\, he found a new technique\, painting and etching in fiberglass\, which can help the development of plastic arts in this new millennium. \nDavid Lach was born June 26\, 1949 in Mexico City. \nVersión en español a continuación. \nDavid Lach \nPor los últimos 40 años\, David Lach ha trabajado con plástico\, que es parte de la tecnología industrial de nuestro mundo actual\, y ha sido su labor de investigación aplicarlo a la pintura\, y a la integración arquitectónica para encontrar al hombre en su hábitat.\nEn su trabajo utiliza fibra de vidrio\, polímeros y resinas\, materiales que no habían sido utilizados en nuestra sociedad sino después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. En su búsqueda\, utiliza la ciencia-ficción como concepto indispensable para la catarsis masiva.\nEn la pintura en fibra de vidrio encontró el medio ideal para expresar su visión de otros mundos; las texturas\, los colores\, las superficies iluminadas y reflejadas en acero inoxidable\, espejos\, luz natural o artificial; un mundo ideal para su visión de un paisaje diferente\, las montañas\, los mares\, el hábitat desconocido\, donde los fenómenos físicos y químicos\, y las realidades del micro y macro cosmos\, siguen los mismos principios que se rigen en nuestro planeta y hasta donde conocemos\, del universo.\nAl explorar todos estos materiales\, encontró una nueva técnica\, la pintura y grabado en fibra de vidrio\, que pueden ayudar al desarrollo de las artes plásticas en este nuevo milenio.
