The exhibit will run through July 16.\nIn October of 2015\, Sugarmann chose 100 residents of the Indianapolis community from a pool of applicants to drive two laps in a pace car — the drivers uniting to complete the equivalent of a single running of the Indianapolis 500. Sugarmann and his crew photographed and interviewed each of the drivers\, the resulting documentation serving as the material of the exhibition. Some of the drivers are featured among the 16 large scale photos in the exhibit. There is also video\, and a sculptural piece.\n“The Indianapolis Motor Speedway serves as a cultural beacon within Indianapolis\, a location of shared history and civic identity for all strata of Indianapolis society. Members of the Indianapolis community feel ownership of the Speedway\,” says Sugarmann. “In this exhibit\, the pace car is the vehicle through which this mutual connection is furthered\, the civilian/citizen being able to immerse him or herself in the environment of a professional IndyCar driver. The People’s 500 uses pace cars to bridge the viewer and professional driver and create an even stronger sense of civic ownership.”\nThis exhibit is the first at Tube Factory\, Big Car Collaborative’s new cultural center with a contemporary art exhibition area. Located in what was a boarded-up factory building on a residential street in the Garfield Park neighborhood\, Tube Factory will host a variety of conversations\, performances\, and events — while also serving as the workshop and home base for Big Car artists.\nThe People’s 500 is curated by Shauta Marsh\, funded by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and Creative Capital\, and coordinated by Big Car Collaborative staff in partnership with the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Framing provided by Editions Limited. \nAbout Jesse Sugarmann: Sugarmann is an interdisciplinary artist working in video\, photography\, and sculpture.

Honoring classic cinema while electrocuting it with energy\, this Russian nesting doll of a film begins (after a prologue on how to take a bath) with the crew of a doomed submarine chewing flapjacks in a desperate attempt to breathe the oxygen within. Suddenly\, impossibly\, a lost woodsman wanders into their company and tells his tale of escaping from a fearsome clan of cave dwellers. From here\, Maddin and co-director Evan Johnson take us high into the air\, around the world\, and into dreamscapes\, spinning tales of amnesia\, captivity\, deception and murder\, skeleton women and vampire bananas. Playing like some glorious meeting between Italo Calvino\, Sergei Eisenstein and a perverted six year-old child\, THE FORBIDDEN ROOM is Maddin’s grand ode to lost cinema. Created with the help of master poet John Ashbery\, the film features Mathieu Amalric\, Udo Kier\, Charlotte Rampling\, Geraldine Chaplin\, Roy Dupuis\, Clara Furey\, Louis Negin\, Maria de Medeiros\, Jacques Nolot\, Adele Haenel\, Amira Casar and Elina Lowensohn as a cavalcade of misfits\, thieves and lovers\, all joined in the joyful delirium of the kaleidoscopic viewing experience.
