SUMMARY:“Logic Sunrise” by Carlson Garcia // “California: October 2016” by Jade Leetz
DESCRIPTION:“Logic Sunrise” by Carlson / Garcia – http://carlsongarcia.com/ \nThis exhibit is inspired on the simple beauty of observing color and shape interaction. Logic Sunrise appeals to the visual perceptual system of the viewers for a pleasant sense of surprise through changing surfaces of orchestrated lights. Using primary red\, green and blue LED pulses\, our work engages providing a visual experience to all ages. The sculptures installed on a gallery wall\, invite viewers to experience their own retinal interpretations of thousands of colors modulated algorithmically in the form of light. The designs are the result of a collaborative process engaged in a poetic exploration of shape. \nThe idea of “art as research” is a sentiment that we share by pushing experimentation in all aspects of our production: from the design of counter-intuitive shapes to the use of digital logic. \nCarlson Garcia is a collective effort by artists Maxwell Carlson and Esteban García Bravo to create a unique display of sculptures and assemblages. \nWe explore designs that evoke multiple retinal interpretations of space questioning constructs of shape and color perception. Our aesthetic is influenced on lyrical geometric abstraction and optic tendencies that occurred during the twentieth century\, while also incorporating new technologies for the design and manufacture of sculpture. \nJade Leetz -“California: October\, 2016”. – http://jadeleetz.format.com/ Selected work from a month long trip spent in Southern California\, all of which focuses on a theme of placement and nostalgia met with vignettes of traveling.

SUMMARY:Calvin Johnson as Selector Dub Narcotic
DESCRIPTION:Selector Dub Narcotic is the pseudonym of choice for Calvin Johnson when he is re-mixing records for the Dub Narcotic Disco Plate series\, or engaged in spinning records at a party or other literary functions. Drawing largely from a stack of 45 rpm phonograph records\, Selector Dub Narcotic is known to mix the genres dancehall\, soul\, punk\, garage\, R&B\, rock steady\, bubblegum and rockabilly with assorted curiosities of the current underground music scene. \nBased in Olympia\, Wash.\, Calvin Johnson‘s work in underground culture started as a teenage fan volunteering at the local community radio station\, KAOS-FM. He moved on to writing for fanzines\, organizing music and film events\, playing music in various ill-fated bands. Calvin established \, a locally oriented media outlet\, in 1982. In 1993 Calvin founded Dub Narcotic Studio in which he has documented the work of the Somehow Is and Never Was\, such as Mirah\, the Blow\, Versus\, Built to Spill\, Fitz of Depression\, Make-Up and Little Wings. It has also been the incubator of many Calvin experiments in collaboration and self-expression\, such as Beat Happening\, Halo Benders\, Dub Narcotic Sound System\, and Selector Dub Narcotic. The decade of the double zeroes saw Calvin Johnson set into the world\, acoustic guitar in hand\, as a solo artist of musical platitudes. Now that the one-zeroes have hit\, Calvin is busy preparing a new album for the new decade. \nJoin us at The Tube Factory March 3rd for a unique First Friday show Featuring  Calvins’ Selector Dub Narcotic with special guests \, Beat Debris and Skin Conditions. music starts at 7:30P

SUMMARY:Dr. Jeffrey Meldrum-Discovery Channel expert and Sasquatch author
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Jeffrey Meldrum\, an expert on foot morphology and locomotion in primates\, will give a talk\, answer questions and sign books. His appearance is in conjunction with Tube Factory’s Hairy Man exhibit. Meldrum contributed his field evidence\, including special hand and foot casts\, to the exhibit. Admission to the talk is $5 \nMeldrum is a Full Professor of Anatomy and Anthropology and a Professor of the Department of Anthropology at Idaho State University. He is also Adjunct Professor of Occupational and Physical Therapy. \nMeldrum received his B.S. in zoology specializing in vertebrate locomotion at Brigham Young University (BYU) in 1982\, his M.S. at BYU in 1984 and a Ph.D. in anatomical sciences\, with an emphasis in biological anthropology\, from Stony Brook University in 1989 (then referred to as State University of New York at Stony Brook). He held the position of postdoctoral visiting assistant professor at Duke University Medical Center from 1989 to 1991. Meldrum worked at Northwestern University’s Department of Cell\, Molecular and Structural Biology for a short while in 1993 before joining the faculty of Idaho State University where he currently teaches. \nMeldrum authored Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science which is the first book to be written by an academic and provides an objective look at the field. \nMeldrum has also published numerous academic papers ranging from vertebrate evolutionary morphology\, the emergence of bipedal locomotion in modern humans and Sasquatch (Bigfoot) and is a co-editor of a series of books on paleontology. Meldrum also coedited From Biped to Strider: The Emergence of Modern Human Walking with Charles E. Hilton. He edited the textbook From Biped to Strider (Springer\, 2004). \nMeldrum has attracted media attention due to his interest in Bigfoot. Skeptic Brian Dunning writes that “The work of responsible scientists like Dr. Meldrum is exactly what true skeptics should be asking the Bigfoot community for\, not criticizing him for it.”\nMeldrum was present at a 2011 conference in Siberia to discuss the Russian wildman. He acknowledged that the results of the Russian field trip to the cave site were most likely fraudulent. He suggested that the supposed evidence found was simply an attempt by local government officials to drum up publicity.\nMeldrum has also studied and commented upon issues of genetics and the Book of Mormon including his book Who Are the Children of Lehi? written with Trent D. Stephens. \nMade possible by the Efroymson Family Fund

Starting Feb. 3\, a partnership with the Indianapolis Museum of Contemporary Art (iMOCA) brings the work of 13 contemporary artists exploring the idea of UFOs and the paranormal to Tube Factory (1125 Cruft St.) in its expanded gallery space in the factory’s former lower-level garage. \niMOCA’s Museum of Real and Odd\, curated by Jeremy Efroymson\, is a commissioned exhibit with artists from around the country making new work for the show. After an open call for submissions received 250 proposals\, Efroymson selected the 13 artists: Nayda Collazo-Llorens in collaboration with Ander Monson\, Scott Raymond & Heather Abels\, Jennifer Scheuer\, Robert Thurlow\, Katy Unger\, Ed Sykes\, Alex Grabiec\, Julio Orta\, Pato Herbert\, Cassandra Klos\, Josh Haines\, and Michael Jordan\, aka Alkemi. \nWhile enthusiastic about all the work\, Efroymson is especially excited about Julio Orta’s piece Museum of Art on the Moon. “It was commissioned for this show and is an interesting concept\,” says Efroymson. “Orta\, originally from Mexico and living in L.A.\, is drawing conceptual architectural plans and has even purchased land for the museum on the moon. I haven’t seen the final piece but I’m looking forward to it. He can continue on with this project after this show.” \nEfroymson feels high-caliber artists are well poised to remove some of the negative associations with the unknown. “The folklore and mythology of the paranormal has really saturated our society\,” he said. “Especially with the ghost hunter shows on television and the prevalence of the topic in movies.  I remember the movie Poltergeist from my childhood\, which really scared me. While we still have scary movies\, I think maybe we now have a more open view to paranormal experiences of a positive nature. I’ve seen shows and artwork that deal with these topics\, but they are not always of the best quality. I wanted to curate a show on these topics with high quality art and artists.” \nThe exhibit comes down April 15. Until then\, visitors can stop by Tube Factory Monday through Friday\, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.\, Saturdays 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and during extended hours for special events. \nImage: Pato Hebert\, Oscillator in Scott State Park\, From the series: In\, If Not Always Of\, Archival pigment prints\, 39.5” x 26.3” \,2014-15 \nAbout Jeremy Efroymson: Jeremy is an artist\, philanthropist\, arts activist and advocate for small grassroots organizations.

SUMMARY:The Hairy Man
DESCRIPTION:Since 1721\, newspapers in the United States have shared reports of sightings and interactions with beings we call Bigfoot. In Indiana\, these sightings have been reported from as close to Indianapolis as the Morgan Monroe State Forest and continue to occur today. The Hairy Man\, a historical cryptozoology exhibit curated by author and Sasquatch expert Christopher Murphy\, will open Feb. 3 from 6-10 p.m.\, at Tube Factory artspace\, (1125 Cruft St). The exhibit will run through April 15 and admission is free. \nThe Hairy Man\, features artifacts\, stories and evidence of Bigfoot’s existence with a focus on the creature as a part of cultural conversations through the centuries. This includes an emphasis on the indigenous people of North America. Murphy\, who is regarded as one of the top researchers of the history of Bigfoot\, originally assembled this collection that contains a 400-pound\, 9-foot-tall iron human skeleton\, model of a Bigfoot skull\, footprint casts\, and more. The Museum of Vancouver\, British Columbia\, exhibited much of this collection in 2004 and 2005. And it has since traveled all over the west coast. \nThe Hairy Man explores the facets of what Murphy describes as “a cultural phenomenon on the fringes of science.” Some people believe Sasquatch to be mythical\, while others see this as an elusive hominid relative of humans and other higher primates. Either way\, people have a lengthy history of creating and sharing Sasquatch lore. The exhibit addresses ancient legends from North America and Asia (where it is known as Yeti or the abominable snowman) as well as recent evidence and sightings. \nBig Car is excited to be part of bringing this exploration and related conversations to Indianapolis. “Tube Factory is about people and place\,” said Big Car CEO Jim Walker. “And the human activity of exploring and examining the mysteries of life are a vital part of our culture — in the past and today.” \nMade possible by the Efroymson Family Fund

SUMMARY:Logic Sunrise by Carlson / Garcia - Mad Tease by Dana Kalachnik
DESCRIPTION:Join us for another thought provoking First Friday down in Garfield Park. Listen Hear will be premiering two exhibitions. “Logic Sunrise” by the collective Carlson / Garcia and photography from Dana Kalachnik \n\n\n \n\n\n “Logic Sunrise” by  Carlson / Garcia  – http://carlsongarcia.com/\n\n\n \n\n\nThis exhibit is inspired on the simple beauty of observing color and shape interaction. Logic Sunrise appeals to the visual perceptual system of the viewers for a pleasant sense of surprise through changing surfaces of orchestrated lights. Using primary red\, green and blue LED pulses\, our work engages providing a visual experience to all ages. The sculptures installed on a gallery wall\, invite viewers to experience their own retinal interpretations of thousands of colors modulated algorithmically in the form of light. The designs are the result of a collaborative process engaged in a poetic exploration of shape.\n\n\n \n\n\nThe idea of “art as research” is a sentiment that we share by pushing experimentation in all aspects of our production: from the design of counter-intuitive shapes to the use of digital logic.\n\n\nCarlson Garcia is a collective effort by artists Maxwell Carlson and Esteban García Bravo to create a unique display of sculptures and assemblages.\n\n\nWe explore designs that evoke multiple retinal interpretations of space questioning constructs of shape and color perception. Our aesthetic is influenced on lyrical geometric abstraction and optic tendencies that occurred during the twentieth century\, while also incorporating new technologies for the design and manufacture of sculpture.\n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n“Mad Tease” by Dana Kalachnik – http://danakalachnik.com/\n\nMy aim is to look at the hidden ugliness beneath the surface of self and broadcast these perceived dirty things in a beautiful\, euphoric and vibrant way. My artwork revolves around a singular driving concept\, which I call “All the Women in Me.”This succinct phrase encompasses my photographs because I am constantly meditating on the vast complexities of womanhood. I am overwhelmed with the beauty of the female form to provoke and celebrate a new explanation of self while also propagating\nfeminine solidarity. \nI am starting to learn my stories that help me make sense of who I am\, and often writing new ones. Lately\, my stories are bits and pieces\, recollections\, details\, an emotion or a gesture that resonates with me. Malleable and bending my stories take interest in what we portray to others and what we cover up with our actions and language. \n\nWomanhood by nature is a metamorphic and an alluring creature. It is subtle yet provocative. It is lush with dark secrets\, relationships\, and self discovery. My art reflects this through its diaristic aesthetic as there is a continuous movement between one series to the next.

SUMMARY:The Banana Man-Mike Kelley
DESCRIPTION:Kelley’s 28-minute video project pieced together a character study of the Banana Man\, a character from the children’s television show “Captain Kangaroo.” Having never watched the Banana Man himself\, Kelley enlisted his childhood friends to recount their memories of him\, memories which were weaved together into a fragmented narrative. \nWrites Kelley: “This is my only truly solo video project. The tape is an exploration of character and was done in direct reaction to my performance work at the time\, which was characterless. Video seemed a good way\, by virtue of it not operating in ‘real’ time\, of dealing with character and psychological motivation. ‘The Banana Man’ was a minor figure on a children’s television show I watched in my youth. I\, myself\, never saw this performer. Everything I know about him was told to me by my friends. The Banana Man is an attempt at constructing the psychology of the character — problematized by the fact that the character is already a fictional one\, and by the fact that none of my observations were direct ones.” \n1983\, 28:15 min\, color\, sound\n\nDiscussion to follow screening.
