SUMMARY:Casey No & Taylor Rose: Crashing Through The Front Door
DESCRIPTION:Crashing Through the Front Door is a culmination of photography\, essays\, and oral histories examining queer life in Indianapolis\, Indiana through the lens of once-a-month dance party. \nPhotographer Casey No and writer Taylor Rose met over a decade before the ideation of this project in southern Indiana. Though the town was small\, and seeped in rural midwestern tradition\, the two found a group of LGBTQ friends who were a safe haven. In fact\, Casey was the first person Taylor came out to at the age of 16. Both have developed their individual crafts over the years\, talking about doing a collaboration for several of them. When Low Pone\, an Indy-based queer dance party\, came to life the subject matter was clear — the two would chronicle the lives of their queer community as it intersected over one night every month. \nCasey and Taylor are capturing a rare and novel movement in queer Indianapolis. One where much of the LGBTQ community is hungry for inclusion of all races\, genders\, non-genders\, and expressions. On a sociological level\, they are examining the need for public celebration of holistic queer existence by showing the vibrancy that comes from a space where the queer community can unapologetically show their identities. Low Pone is doing something that’s outside the norm in this city: It’s creating a space for those who have felt displaced. Crashing Through the Front Door is documenting what they view as a historical queer moment of creation and community. \nOver the last eight months\, dozens of people were interviewed about the impact that a small pop-up queer\, trans\, and people-of-color inclusive space had on their lives. By no means is a dance party the solution or even a delineation of the queer community in Indy\, but it does bookmark a moment in time and offers a periscope view into queer life. \nThe culmination is a story about how that one night becomes a sanctuary\, paying homage to the idea of home\, to a chosen family\, to rising above the fragments that society bends us to fit neatly into their stackable boxes. The photographs and personal narratives illuminate the process of finding triumph in the face of tragedy and refusing to be defined by it\, how a chosen family finds one another\, grapples with gender\, sexuality\, and identity in the midst of a cultural movement. \nCasey and Taylor consider themselves documentarians and creative culture makers. Casey is a local musician in the band Spandrels and an award-winning photographer living in Indianapolis. He is interested in closing the negative space between artist\, audience\, and community. Taylor is a non-binary journalist in Indianapolis who has worked as the Arts Editor for NUVO and as the Communications Director for the ACLU of Indiana. Their work has won numerous Society of Professional Journalism awards for social justice and community based content. This relationship between an artist and journalist is collaborative. Both artists have experienced discrimination based on class\, gender\, and sexuality. They both found power in their perspective mediums by boldy claiming their own identities. This project is not only personal\, it is how these artists hope to encourage similar endeavors in the arts community of Indianapolis. \nPhoto: Casey No\, “Mary Fagdalane covered in blood while performing\, November 2018.” \nMade possible by LOW PONE\, Upland Brewing Company\, Printtext\, Roberts Camera\, Big Car Collaborative\, The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts\, and Indiegogo sponsors.

SUMMARY:David Schalliol-Three Communities
DESCRIPTION:We shape our surroundings at the same time our surroundings shape us. Communities and their environments are inseparable. Yet as we go about occupying\, utilizing\, and altering our natural and built worlds\, how much do we think about the connections we share with the others who inhabit the place we call home? \nFor his exhibition at Tube Factory Art Space\, David Schalliol addresses the interdependence of people and place through photographs and video interviews with residents of three geographically and culturally unique places. \nFirst\, he explores the very neighborhood in which this exhibition takes place\, Bean Creek\, a hamlet of homes and businesses on the Southeast Side of Indianapolis. The waterway for which the neighborhood is named has undergone a peculiar evolution as homes\, churches\, and businesses have grown around it. In some places\, Bean Creek flows undisturbed\, a trickling rill winding through thickets of gently bending trees. In other places\, the creek has been covered by roads and other obstructions\, only to remerge more than 100 yards away. The odd evolution of landscape and municipal planning has caused some houses to face the creek—today’s residents enter through the back door\, as the front faces nature. \nNext\, Schalliol takes us to the South Side of Chicago\, where since 2011 a tight-knit group of neighbors has watched their community disappear as the owners of a nearby freight yard buy up houses in order to expand their facilities. The few remaining homeowners have banded together to try to preserve whatever is left of this place and its unique culture. The economic powers that are being exerted\, however\, will likely prove too powerful to bear. \nFinally\,Schalliol visits former coal mining communities in the north of France. Following decades of economic contraction\, the French government ceased all coal mining in the country in the early 2000s. Towns like the one in these photographs must completely re-imagine their future economic and cultural identities. Meanwhile\, the visual and social fabric of the region is affected in every conceivable way by its historic attachment to coal. For example\, the “spoil tip” hills interspersed throughout the town\, created by waste rocks from the mines\, now serve as artificial mountains being re-purposed for motorsports and ecological tourism. \nThough located worlds apart from each other\, the three communities share threads of kinship that hint at possible human universalities. \nDavid Schalliol is a visual sociologist. He is an assistant professor of sociology at St. Olaf College and a principal of Scrappers Film Group. His work has appeared in numerous publications\, including The New York Times\, and been exhibited extensively. Recent exhibitions include the 2017 Chicago Architectural Biennial\, the Belfast Photo Festival\, and the Museum of Contemporary Photography’s Midwest Photographers Project. He is the author of Isolated Building Studies. His directorial film debut\, The Area\, premiered at the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival in April 2018. He earned his BA from Kenyon College\, and his MA and PhD in the Department of Sociology at The University of Chicago.
