Weekend Preview
Do you like this story?
*** UPDATE - FATIMAH TUGGAR IS NOT HAVING A SHOW AT THE ARTS CENTER - ONLY THE CHASE COLLECTION
Another lazy Indy weekend. Hit the comment board with what I've missed and I'll be sure to update...
Friday, February 24th
Two openings at the Indianapolis Art Center (820 E. 67th Street in Broad Ripple)
- Fatimah Tuggar: New Work -- POSTPONED
- In Good Company - Selections from the JP Morgan Chase Company. 7-9 pm.
Free to members, $7 for non-members
** coming Thursday March 2nd at 7 pm, panel discussion on collecting
art with
-Lisa Erf, Director of the JPMorgan Chase Art Collection
-Tim Rooney, Curator Tandem Press (Madison, Wisc.)
-Mark Ruschman, Owner Ruschman Gallery (contemporary artwork,
Indianapolis)
-Jim Ross, Co-Owner Eckert & Ross Fine Art Gallery Indianapolis
(specializes in Midwestern early-20th century painters)
Thanks to Michael Partington for posting this discussion
I'll be interested to see what JP Morgan has on display here. Corporate collections, with a few notable exceptions, are usually quite safe. Pair this with the Art Center which also can be pretty conservative, and we'll see what happens. Unfortunately I couldn't find any specifics on their website. The discussion on March 2nd should be interesting regardless.
Saturday, February 25th
Nano in Your Neighborhood: A large Exhibit on a Small Scale at the Indiana State Museum
Explores how nanotechnology affects the world around us.
I'm only posting the above because it's such a slow weekend and this sounded interesting. The fact that I couldn't find anything on their website to confirm the opening pisses me off so if anyone can come up with something more exciting, I'll gladly replace it!
Matta and I look forward to seeing you all in the Mardi Gras Parade on Mass Ave Saturday afternoon...

You stupid fucks, you lure peoiple into your fucking alledged website when you are fucking controled not by inter4est in the arts but by your fucking lame interests in self=promotion and specifically by your affiliations with advertising. If for one fuckjing moment you conflate the two you are either just stupid or evil.; fuck both of you for your little pretense that this is some venue for local arts. You wouldn't k now the differenece between art and an ad for fuckwaht than you have any ambition beyond your your names.

Tourette's syndrome-
a familial neurological disorder of variable expression that is characterized by recurrent involuntary tics involving body movements (as eye blinks or grimaces) and vocalizations (as grunts or utterance of inappropriate words)
I welcome your input and criticism but please make your case clear and if possible constructive. Site examples of our wrong doing if possible. How are we to know what it is you expect or would like, if you dont actually say so in your post. Please, clarify the part of "your affiliations with advertising"and our "self promotion".
The entirety of this site is run on zero funds from ANY organization. All costs in fact have been paid for out of pocket by me because, despite some beliefs, I truly do care about the local contemporary art community and want this community to grow and improve. I thought that there was a need and a place for this type of open dialoge within our community. Aside from NUVO, and the occassional art coverage by the STAR or INTAKE there was little art dialoge and even in those sources, the public can not make their opinions known as you can here in a blog comments section. This site is completely not for profit. The site is still very young and it is a learning experience. I hope that it will evolve and become better and more things to more people. Perhaps our limited resources and scope of what we should cover and what we shouldn't is not ALL inclusive but this I don't thing is necissarily a bad thing. I write this in hopes to create a constructive dialoge, a conversation, that is more refined and not just a lambaste. Thanks for reading.

Dearest Anon - after nearly three months, dozens of posts, and hundreds of comments, congratulations for the GREATEST comment to date. Not because it had any merit or validity, but because it reiterates the reason we started this blog in the first - Indy had seemed to be satisfied with the status quo.
Your comment above is so ridiculous that I hate to dignify it with a response, but in case there are others that feel that way, we have posted articles and comments have been posted that criticize Nuvo, painting and iMOCA, of which the three main contributers get their livelihood from.
I also LOVE the fact that your comment was left beneath our weekend preview section that highlighted events that are happening at the Arts Center and the State Museum of which none of us have even a remote affiliaton. Not to mention the fact that we never write about organizations that we are individually involved in.
And in case you didn't know, Blogger is free and we welcome more dialogue. You, however, would probably soon learn that your words might carry more weight if you didn't hide behind the anonymous nomenclature.

Liriodendron,
Thanks for the additional information about the art fair.

Does anyone know what happened to the Fatimah show?
Katrin

I'm not sure if it was just postponed or cancelled all together. I couldn't get info either way.
February 25, 2006 at 8:59 AM
I'm not going to her show. Afraid of being scammed.
February 25, 2006 at 11:07 AM
That was so bad anon.
February 25, 2006 at 7:04 PM
What does that even mean?

Charlie Spears "Boy" series (at the State Museum Art Fair) was wonderful! Talking to Charlie was really nice also. It was worth the price just for that....but I did see some seriously beautiful things there. My psyche feels somewhat damaged because I was unable to purchase several items I REALLY wanted....

I'm sorry some people were looking for the Fatimah Tuggar exhibition at the Art Center. It was postponed several months ago (new date not determined), and we've seen it published even though the Art Center didn't ever put out an official release one way or the other (some organizations get an outline of our exhibitions plan that is given a year in advance but is subject to change).
This website came up on a search I was doing, and I wanted to give you all a little information on an exhibition we brought in to replace Fatimah's show...info is below--I hope you can make it back to the Art Center if you missed it.
Hollis Sigler: Breast Cancer Journals--Beginning in 1975, Chicago artist Hollis Sigler (born in Gary, Ind.) created psychologically complex narrative paintings, drawings, and prints grounded in personal experience. Adopting a faux naif style, she characterized the childlike look of her art as a reaction against what she saw as a patriarchal culture that historically treated women as little more than children. And yet, from its inception, this style was also a means of conveying difficult emotional content in a way that viewers could easily understand.
In 2001, Sigler succumbed to her long battle with breast cancer, which had been the topic of much of her work. This exhibition is courtesy of Printworks Gallery, Chicago; JPMorgan Chase Art Collection; and the Estate of Hollis Sigler.
