The Kinsey Institute is offering two exhibits this season, featuring a mix of artwork from the archives along with several paintings borrowed from private collections. “Beauty and the Beast: The Erotic Art of Ian Hornak” showcases a major gift of drawings and paintings from the estate of 20th century American artist Ian Hornak. Although best known for his photo-realist landscapes, Hornak’s early work from the late 1960s often focused on the nude figure, at times combining human and animal anatomy. “Flora” presents a broad selection of photographs, prints, paintings, sculptures and books that feature plant or landscape imagery. Due to adult content, visitors should be 18 years of age or older, unless accompanied by a parent or guardian.

The Kinsey Institute Gallery opens on Monday, January 27 for self-guided tours, 1:30 to 4:30 pm M-F or by appointment during business hours. Guided group tours may be scheduled by calling 812-855-7686 or emailing [email protected]. Admission is free.

What happens when your child comes out to you? My Child is a feature documentary about a very courageous and inspiring group of mothers and fathers in Turkey, who are parents of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans-gender individuals. They have not only gone through the difficult path of accepting their children for who they are, but also have taken the next step to share their experiences with other LGBT families and the public. In My Child seven parents intimately share their experiences with the viewer, as they redefine what it means to be parents, family, and activists in this conservative, homophobic, and trans-phobic society. In Turkish language with English subtitles. (2K DCP presentation)

Just back from its award-winning run at the NYC FRIGID Fringe festival, Questions of the Heart is a one man show that follows Ben Abbott as he interviews a wide range of gay and lesbian Mormons in an attempt to reconcile his faith and his friendships. Questions is one of few – if any – shows that can claim to have been performed both at church and in a gay bar.
