Tonight
In the 30 years since punk icons Richard Hell and Johnny Rotten snagged the public’s attention, punk has become an anti-fashion statement, a marketable music genre and a secessionist lifestyle. The same period of time has witnessed the invasion of the international art- and media-scape by Japanese anime and art phenomenon Takashi Murakami.
This talk by Dick Hebdige, who explores punk’s relationship to the mainstream, uses Murakami’s work as a lens to view how ideas and attitudes about youth culture, consumerism, sex and love have changed in the three decades since Hebdige’s book Subculture: The Meaning of Style was published in 1979.
Co-presented by Japan-America Society of Indiana and the Asian Art Society at the IMA.
Thursday, April 23rd, 7pm at the IMA's Toby Theater - Pubic $6, Students and Members $3

There’s music and food throughout the massive building, and artwork ranging from paintings to jewelry to sculpture and more.
Food vendors this year include Zest, Zing, Creative Cafe, Euphoria, Jazz Kitchen and Judge's BBQ.

SATURDAY
KNIT-fest with Annie Quick
All the cool kids are having a knitting party on Saturday April 25, any time after 8. We'll be drinking and eating and Annie Quick will show you how to knit cones which will be proudly displayed in Gallery 2 of the Harrison Center on May 1 . Even if you are a boy, Annie can teach you how to knit cones ! Even if you have no prior experience with yarn of any sort and have never considered yourself the knitting type, I promise you will be the proud producer of a cone or two! Not to mention, a little more tipsy and full of food than when you came.
Why you ask? Your cones will be part of Annie's amazing installation art piece that open on May1, 2009 in Gallery #2 at the Harrison Center for the Arts.
Even if you are WAY too macho for knitting, please come for moral support and we'll ply you with food anyway.
