SUMMARY:SOMA
DESCRIPTION:Main Gallery \nThis exhibition explores the supernatural and ethereal states of somatic responses. Inspired by Aldous Huxley’s novel Brave New World\, where soma was a fictional drug used to pacify civilians in a state of existential bliss and disassociation. Exploring the socialized perceptions of figures occupying space\, Soma takes on confronting perceived utopia and dysmorphia in this exhibition. \nIn the works\, moments of adolescent innocence are paired with surrealist and folkloric expressions of figuration. Satirically\, this speaks to resisting and transcending moments that are out of alignment as people grow; without physically being dismissed. \nFeatured artists: \nJo Archuleta (Kansas City\, Missouri) \nTommy Lomeli (Helena\, Montana) \nKatherine Looney (Kansas City\, Missouri) \nOctober Sharify (Chicago) \nIsaac Tapia (Kansas City\, Missouri) \nCesar Velez (Kansas City\, Missouri) \nGuest Curator: Yashi Davalos\nDavalos is an Afro-Puerto Rican-Mexican\, Atlanta Native\, based in New Orleans. Her practice began in the Americana Deep South. She attended HBCU\, Savannah State University\, where she studied Vocal Performance. Yashi’s curatorial research centers socio-cultural epistemology\, the south and the global south\, through an interdisciplinary arts praxis. \nDavalos was the 2023-2025 curatorial fellow and interim grants and awards coordinator at The Charlotte Street Foundation in Kansas City\, Missouri. She was previously a member of collective run gallery The Front New Orleans. Davalos has designed and facilitated programming in collaboration with various institutions including Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art\, Prospect New Orleans\, Contemporary Arts Center New Orleans\, UMKC Music Conservatory\, and MDW Artist Coalition. Her art has been exhibited throughout New Orleans\, ATL\, KCMO\, and at MECA Art Fair in the Dominican Republic. Yashi’s writing has been published via Sixty Inches From Center\, Burnaway\, and Intervenxions at Latinx Project NYU. \nArtist Bios: \nJo Archuleta (b. Taos\, New Mexico 2000) is an artist living and working in Kansas City\, Missouri. Her work explores the complexity of identity and mythology of womanhood found within leisure\, desire\, pleasure and the specificity as a state of being. By acknowledging rules within the landscape of femininity\, gender roles and their societal expectations. Archuleta has found that there are multiple approaches to transgressive and transformative definitions of these identities. Her specific approach to this critique has been to use humor\, jokes\, and satire. Archuleta is interested in exploring how the figure is perceived and how she sees herself\, a constant battle between self-awareness and self sabotage. The figures seduce and confront complexities within the vapidness of beauty\, vanity\, and ego while also using self-consciousness as repulsion. The women in her work wear masks\, perform softness\, weakness\, shallowness\, and confidence; all while cowering within their own insecurities. \nTommy Lomeli (b.1993) is an emerging ceramic artist born in Stockton\, California. Lomeli holds a BA from CSU Sacramento and an MFA from the University of Kansas. He is the recipient of numerous awards including the International Sculpture Center’s 2024 Outstanding Student Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture award\, and first place at NCECA’s 2023 National Juried Student Exhibition. He was a 2024 Charlotte Street Foundation Artist in Residence. He is currently a 2025 Taunt Fellow at the Archie Bray Foundation. \nKatherine Looney (b.1989 (she/her)) is a Black and Native American visual artist living in Kansas City\, Missouri. She usually works with oil paints when creating colorful portraits. Many of her works are based on photos she has taken of her friends and family. She was a part of Charlotte Street Foundation’s 2023 Artist INC cohort. She was also a 2024 recipient of Charlotte Street Foundation’s Artboards Award. Katherine has a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the University of Missouri-Columbia. \nOctober Sharify (b.1999) is an oil painter based in Chicago\, Illinois. Their longtime interest in history and theology blends in their work with feminine aesthetics and spiritual imagery. October has a developmental disability and believes that this is both a detriment to their work and integral to their process. October has an African American and Persian cultural background\, and often turns to the visual language of their respective cultures’ past for inspiration. “I enjoy working with a limited palette\, and I mix my own custom colors to use consistently across my work. Blue to me is a very atmospheric color and my favorite time of day has always been twilight. World-building and paintings that evoke a feeling are very important to me and this exists in every piece that I make.” \nIsaac Tapia was born in Mexico\, where he lived until moving to the U.S. when he was nine. Isaac focuses on portraits that elevate important\, yet often underrepresented\, members of his community and celebrate the complex narratives of contemporary migration. He blends photography\, audio interviews\, and traditional oil portraiture techniques to convey rich\, multilayered stories and create opportunities for identification and connection. Isaac’s paintings have been exhibited throughout Kansas City — including at the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art — and his work has traveled in shows across the Midwest with the Mexican Consulate and La Onda and the M.A.S.A. Collective. He had a residency and exhibition at Casa Lu Sur en Mexico City in December of 2024. Isaac is a founding member of the M.A.S.A. Collective\, and is one of the resident artists at the Charlotte Street Foundation. He is also one-half of the mural duo IT-RA Icons\, which has painted murals across the country. \nCesar Velez is a self-taught painter and first-generation immigrant from Mexico based in Kansas City\, Missouri. Velez’s work draws from his personal experience growing up in the South and Midwest United States as an undocumented immigrant (now DACA Recipient) living amongst American peers. \nThis exhibition is made possible thanks to the support of The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and the Efroymson Family Fund. \nIMAGE: Big Fish\, Cesar Velez\, oil on canvas\, 24×30\, 2022

SUMMARY:Keren Cytter: Rose Garden
DESCRIPTION:Video Gallery  \nCytter’s short 2014 film explores the unsettling duality of American culture’s ideals regarding being protectors of life and harbingers of death. This title is a reference to both the 1964 Joanne Greenburg book I Never Promised You a Rose Garden\, which deals with mental illness and the 1971-84 Marine Corp recruitment campaign “We Don’t Promise You A Rose Garden.” These references are meant to clue the viewer in that the seemingly ordinary setting hides a distorted reality. As the tension builds\, multiple guns and disjointed conversations between characters escalate the sense that the calm is about to be shattered. A chaotic shooting spree unfolds against the backdrop of normal daily life. The chilling final scene serves as a grim conclusion addressing violence and its pervasive presence within American culture. \nRun time: 8 minutes and 55 seconds \nPlease note: This work contains adult themes and gun violence that some may find triggering. \nAbout the artist \nKeren Cytter (b. 1977) creates films\, performances\, drawings and photographs on topics of social alienation\, language representation\, and the function of individuals in predetermined cultural systems through experimental modes of storytelling and human perception. Mostly characterised by a non-linear\, cyclical logic Cytter’s films consist of multiple layers of images; conversation; monologue\, and narration systematically composed to undermine linguistic conventions and traditional interpretation schemata. Recalling amateur home movies and video diaries\, these montages of impressions\, memories\, and imaginings are poetic and self-referential in composition. The artist creates intensified scenes drawn from everyday life in which the overwhelmingly artificial nature of the situations portrayed is echoed by the very means of their production. \nCytter was awarded the Joseph Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship (2021)\, Absolut Art Award\, Stockholm (2009)\, Ars Viva Prize\, Kulturkreis der Deutschen Wirtschaft\, Berlin (2008) and the Bâloise Art Prize at Art Basel (2006). \nRecent solo exhibitions include Hot Lava Night\, Kunsthalle Bielefeld\, Bielefeld\, Germany (2023); Double Standard\, LLS Paleis\, Antwerp\, Belgium (2023). Cytter’s work was showcased in a major survey exhibition at the Ludwig Forum Aachen (2022)\, featuring: films\, soap operas\, plays\, sculptures\, drawings\, novels\, zines\, life coaching guides\, children’s books and a festival. Cytter’s videos were shown in solo exhibitions at Winterthur Kunstmuseum\, Winterthur (2020); Centre for Contemporary Art\, Tel Aviv (2019); Museion Bolzano\, Bolzano (2019)\, Künstlerhaus – Halle für Kunst & Medien\, Graz (2016); Museum of Contemporary Art\, Chicago (2015)\, Kunsthal Charlottenborg\, Copenhagen (2014); State of Concept\, Athens (2014)\, Tate Modern\, London (2012)\, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam (2011); München Kunstverein (2011); Kunsthaus Baselland\, Basel (2010); Moderna Museet\, Stockholm (2010); Hammer Museum\, Los Angeles (2010); X Initiative\, New York (2009); Le Plateau Paris\, Paris (2009)\, Witte de With\, Rotterdam (2008)\, MUMOK Vienna\, Vienna (2007); Frankfurter Kunstverein\, Frankfurt (2005); Kunsthalle Zurich\, Zurich (2005) and Kunst-Werke Berlin\, Berlin (2006). \nKeren Cytter’s work has been shown in numerous group exhibitions such as MOMENTUM 10\, Momentum Biennial\, Moss (2019); Masculinity\, Düsseldorf Kunstverein\, Düsseldorf (2019); SUR/FACE: Mirrors\, Museum Angewandtekunst\, Frankfurt\, (2017); Instructions for Happiness\, 21er Haus\, Vienna\, State (in) Concepts\, KADIST\, Paris (2017)\, Vision on Vision- Lemaitre video collection\, SEMA Museum\, Seoul (2017); Busan Biennial\, Busan (2016); Creating Realities – Encounters Between Art and Cinema\, Pinakothek der Moderne and Museum Brandhorst\, Munich (2015); Political Populism\, Kunsthalle Wien\, Vienna (2015); John Bock\, Keren Cytter\, Paul Pfeiffer\, Gillian Wearing and Akram Zaatari\, Regen Projects\, Los Angeles (2013); Expanded Cinema\, Moscow Museum of Modern Art\, Moscow (2011); Videonale 13\, Kunstmuseum Bonn\, Bonn (2011);  Found in Translation\, Solomon R.

SUMMARY:Tarrey Banks: A Thousand Drawings
DESCRIPTION:Tarrey Banks: A Thousand Drawings \nGuichelaar Gallery | on the Tube Factory campus | 1135 Cruft St\, Indianapolis\, IN 46203 \nFriday\, Oct. 3 – Wednesday\, Nov. 19 | Opening Reception: Friday\, Oct. 3 @ 6 – 10 p.m. \nCurated by Sylvia Thomas \n\nTarrey Banks’ A Thousand Drawings gathers together a monumental series of works on paper — each one an individual mark of time\, memory\, and creative persistence. What began as a daily practice has grown into an expansive archive of drawings that capture shifting moods\, fleeting ideas\, and the evolving language of line and form. Installed collectively\, the drawings envelop viewers in a landscape of repetition and variation\, where each page is both self-contained and part of a larger whole. \n“This project is about showing up to the page again and again\,” says Banks. “It’s about discipline\, but also discovery — letting each drawing be a record of that moment. Over time\, the small gestures add up to something much bigger than me.” \nIn A Thousand Drawings\, audiences are invited to reflect on how ordinary acts accumulate into extraordinary impact. The exhibition underscores how creative practice\, like community itself\, grows stronger through repetition\, commitment\, and care. \n\nAbout the Artist \nTarrey Banks is an Indianapolis-based multidisciplinary artist whose work spans drawing\, painting\, and experimental approaches. His practice emphasizes persistence and process\, focusing on how small daily gestures of creation can grow into bodies of work that feel both intimate and expansive. Banks treats artmaking as a discipline of attention — a way to record time\, experiment with form\, and remain open to discovery. \nWorking across mediums\, he explores endurance\, variation\, and the transformative potential of repetition. His drawings and paintings often reflect a balance between control and improvisation\, discipline and play\, structure and freedom. For Banks\, art is not only a mode of expression but also a practice of resilience and care — one that continues to evolve as he adds to his ever-expanding archive of images and ideas. \nInstagram: @tbanks_art_company

SUMMARY:JON MUELLER + TOM LECKY: ALL COLORS PRESENT
DESCRIPTION: Tickets are $7 and can be purchased at the door \nA sound and visual meditation \nJon Mueller’s singular performance idiom is an awe-inspiring display of elegant athleticism\, preternatural focus\, brute restraint\, and ecstatic\, monastic reverie. Paired with Tom Lecky’s photographs\, it becomes a deliberate focus on form\, shape and detail. It requires and demands a state of inner quietude from witnesses. Yet\, from this seemingly metronomic exercise blossoms every possible tint and hue of infinite spectral sound.  \n\n​​An apt reference point resides within the broad\, decades-spanning catalog of Table of the Elements. Like Tony Conrad’s surging Outside the Dream Syndicate\, the aural and conceptual headwinds are real\, but the perceived affronts of provocation are not. These works are not endurance challenges\, nor are they threadbare minimalist upholstery. They are not obstacles. They are invitations. Within their simplicity and formalism await a sympathetic repose\, a comfort. These are gestures of generosity. \n  \nMueller studied jazz drumming with Hal Russell at Columbia College in Chicago\, and singing with La Monte Young and Marian Zazeela at the Kirana Center for Indian Classical Music in New York. A prolific performer\, he tours extensively and has appeared at festivals and venues throughout the United States\, Canada\, England\, Europe and Japan. \n\nIn addition to his solo work\, Mueller has collaborated and performed with groups such as Mind Over Mirrors\, Volcano Choir\, Collections of Colonies of Bees\, and Pele. He has also worked with artists including Olivia Block\, Aaron Turner\, Faith Coloccia\, Dawn Springer\, Chris Hefner\, Jason Kahn\, Hal Rammel\, Asmus Tietchens\, Z’EV\, Rhys Chatham\, Jarboe\, James Plotkin\, Duane Pitre\, and Raymond Dijkstra. He has released music on renowned labels such as Table of the Elements\, Type Recordings\, Important Records\, Taiga Records\, SIGE Records\, and American Dreams. \nwww.rhythmplex.com  IG: @jonmueller \n   \nTom Lecky has worked in photography\, music (as Hallock Hill)\, the book arts\, prose and poetry writing\, and literary criticism. His creative work concentrates on memory\, place\, and environment\, the work of the imagination\, perception\, and the intersections of abstraction and representation. He often interweaves appropriated texts and images with his own\, evoking a conversation with the history of book design and illustration.\n \nThese creative pursuits are linked to Tom’s career as an internationally recognized expert in the field of rare and antiquarian books and manuscripts. He has worked in the auction world – notably in a 17-year run as a specialist and Head of Christie’s New York Books and Manuscripts Department – and as an advisor to collectors and institutions. He is the owner of Riverrun Books\, and the founder of the rare book and manuscript appraisal and advisory firm Lecky Art Group. www.tomlecky.com  \nIG: @tom.lecky
