The Ivy Tech Waldron is an Ivy Tech Community College facility that features four art galleries, two theatres, and four arts classrooms. It is housed in Bloomington’s Beaux Arts limestone former City Hall which was built in 1913.

In this exhibit, Bloomington based photographer, Kyle Spears showcases his most recent body of work from Prague, Czech Republic. Kyle says this about his photography;

Primarily, most of my inspiration comes from traveling and discovering new places/things to shoot. No matter where or what I photograph, I want to capture the beauty I see and somehow communicate that with the viewer. As a photographer, I am attracted to the absence of light, just as much as the presence of light. I love how the night can change the atmosphere and mood of a scene that wasn’t evident during daylight.

Thanks to a partnership with Cohen Media who will be releasing The Wind Will Carry Us on BluRay later this year, this lecture will be a taped interview with Abbas Kiarostami led by Richard Peña, Director Emeritus of the New York Film Festival and Professor of Film Studies at Columbia University. The interview will be included as a ‘bonus feature’ on that upcoming BluRay release.

From The Traveler to Ten, Abbas Kiarostami’s films offer an inside, delicate look at Iran that the world, including most Iranians, have never witnessed. Kiarostami accomplished this with tremendous innovation. World Cinema has learned much from these films, and recognized this with countless commendations—notably the Palme d’Or at Cannes. These eight films provide an education about Iran’s people and a profound take on the human mind and soul—cinema’s original promise to the world.

Thanks to Owen Shapiro and Syracuse University for their partnership. Special thanks to Jim and Roberta Sherman, the Ove W Jorgensen Foundation, and Rita Grunwald, whose gifts helped make these programs possible.

When you take a tree that is rooted in the ground, and transfer it from one place to another, the tree will no longer bear fruit. And if it does, the fruit will not be as good as it was in its original place. This is a rule of nature. I think if I had left my country, I would be the same as the tree.-Abbas Kiarostami

This surprising and intimate portrait of Margaret Thatcher (Meryl Streep), the first and only female Prime Minister of The United Kingdom, earned Streep her third Academy Award. One of the 20th century’s most famous and influential women, Thatcher came from nowhere to smash through barriers of gender and class to be heard in a male-dominated world. (2K DCP. 105 min. Rated PG-13.)

“Paper Diamond is known for making many different kinds of music. Since the project’s inception in January of 2011, PD has found himself on a globetrotting, music making escapade, with non-stop shows, festival plays, and around the clock studio sessions.

The Paper Diamond sound has raw energy and the kind of dramatic anticipation only a seasoned producer can incite. Driving beats and bass grab on tight while deep, rich tones rumble under layers of spacey synthesizers, sweet melodies, and catchy vocals. One thing is for sure. The energy is high.”
