The Grunwald Gallery at Indiana University is pleased to announce 24/7/365 a video work by Kevin O. Mooney. This exhibition will open Friday, October 23 and continue through Wednesday, November 18, 2015. An opening reception will be held on Friday, October 23 from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm at the Grunwald Gallery. Kevin O. Mooney will give a gallery talk about 24/7/365 on Friday, November 13 at 12 noon in the Grunwald Gallery.

365247•2012 is a time-based piece created by Kevin O. Mooney. Rooted in still photography, the work is presented as a video projection. The more than 250,000 still images, presented as a photographic stop-motion animation, allow the viewer to witness the artist’s day-to-day routines, the same activities that are experienced by many on a daily basis. When interacting with the piece, the past and future are viewed simultaneously. Ultimately, a year in the artist’s life is presented in under an hour, offering others the opportunity to vicariously participate and find meaning in mundane activities while also reexamining their own unrecognized minutes, hours and days.

Mooney states: “I have been fascinated with self-portraiture since the mid-seventies. I began photographing myself as an undergraduate student while attending Southern Illinois University in the cinema & photography program. Throughout my career as a commercial/editorial photographer, I continued to do self-portraits, often with the subjects that I photographed for a specific assignment or job, primarily as a record of who I had photographed, especially if the person was famous. I then decided to challenge myself by making a photographic self-portrait every day for an entire year. When 1997 was over I continued with the daily self-portrait, incorporating it into my daily routine, and do so to this day.”

The Grunwald Gallery at Indiana University is pleased to announce The Wunderkammer: Curiosities in Indiana University Collections. This exhibition will open Friday, October 23 and continue through Wednesday, November 18. An opening reception will be held on Friday, October 23 from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm at the Grunwald Gallery. A series of noon talks will be presented by the curators and collection managers of several special collections on Friday, October 30 and Friday, November 6 in the Grunwald Gallery.

The Wunderkammer highlights the practice of private and institutional collecting of art, artifacts, specimens, and objects through the special collections on Indiana University’s campus that are not typically seen by the average visitor. Indiana University has a number of well-known collections on public display, including the IU Art Museum and the Lilly Library. But there are other collections that are often overlooked or unknown to most visitors, such as the Department of Biology’s Herbarium, The Elizabeth Sage Costume Collection, and the University Archives, among many others.

The public museums at Indiana University are easily accessible and often feature objects from their collections that are the most well known, valuable, and historically and culturally important. However, each collection also contains items that are unusual or non-traditional, which the public rarely sees. It is in the context of the Wunderkammer that we display these items, as a cabinet of curiosities similar to the traditional collections amassed by individuals in the sixteenth century. This tradition continued well into the nineteenth century, with individuals collecting art, natural history specimens, cultural artifacts and ephemera, and there is a resurgence of interest in this today.

Special collections at IU were invited to partner with the Grunwald Gallery to select unusual or non-traditional items for the exhibit. Because of this focus, the information about how these objects came to be part of these collections is as important as the items themselves. This exhibit addresses the psychological motivations behind both institutional and private collecting, why and how special collections end up with unusual items, the stories that these unusual items have to tell, and the information and background they add that may not be obvious in more celebrated works. Some objects in the exhibit include Herman B Wells handmade underwear from the Elizabeth Sage Costume Collection; A petrified hen’s egg from 1835 trapped inside the walls of the Wylie House Museum; the original 1955 Relax-A-cizor device from the Kinsey Institute Collections; and Diana Ross’s lunchbox and gold record from the film Bustin’ Loose from the Archives of African American Music and Culture to name only a few.

Collections that will be represented are the Archives for African American Music and Culture, The Herbarium and Zoology Collections in the Department of Biology, The Black Film Center Archives, Campus Collections, the Indiana University Art Museum, the Glenn Black Laboratory, The Kinsey Institute, The Mathers Museum of World Cultures, The Elizabeth Sage Costume Collection, The University Archives and The Wylie House Museum.

This exhibit and corresponding programs were made possible by the participating institutions and the Grunwald Gallery at Indiana University.

For the past few years Rainey Tisdale has been working with Trevor Jones (Kentucky Historical Society) and Elee Wood (IUPUI Museum Studies) as an informal think tank to address big, entrenched problems of museum collections stewardship, problems that many museum professionals are worried about but no one has figured out how to solve. They call this project Active Collections. They argue that the core approach to museum collections has stayed largely the same while everything around those collections—cultural, social, and economic systems; people’s relationships to the

material world; the museums themselves—has changed. In her brown bag talk, sponsored by IU’s Historical Teaching and Practice seminar series, Tisdale will discuss major societal trends influencing museum practice, the Active Collections project, and what it might mean to steward leaner, more sustainable collections with greater impact. Rainey Tisdale is an independent curator who leads for change on a number of field-wide museum issues, including creative practice, place-based interpretation, collections stewardship, and empathetic museums.. She is the co-author of “Creativity in Museum Practice” (with Linda Norris, Left Coast Press, 2013). The brown bag talk is free and open to the public.

Anticlines, fault lines, geodes, basins, formations, and more… Join us for a four-hour driving tour that highlights the geology in the Lake Monroe area. You’ll discover what these features tell us about our geologic past, how they shaped today’s landscape, and their impact on our local economy.

The tour begins at Paynetown SRA (off of State Road 446) and ends at the Harrodsburg exit on State Road 37.

Memories can get fuzzy as we age, but it doesn’t have to be that way! Regularly challenging ourselves with fun mental exercises keeps our minds running on all four cylinders. In fact, adults who frequently engage in mentally stimulating activities are 63% less likely to develop dementia than those who rarely do such activities (according to a New England Journal of Medicine study). Stacey Goffinet will lead participants in playing trivia games, solving puzzles and other fun activities to maintain a sharp focus and, better memory retention. Games and puzzles are among the best ways to maintain active and productive use of all our mental faculties. Eating healthy foods and exercise can also significantly boost our brain power!

Refreshments will be provided by Comfort Keepers. New players are always welcome! Sponsored by Area 10 Agency on Aging and Comfort Keepers. For more information: call the center at 876-3383 ex. 515.
