This installation, running from September 11 to December 31, will focus on three photographers Julia Margaret Cameron, Edward Weston, and Harry Callahan, who used their romantic partners as their subjects. Whether portraits or nude studies, these images reveal a sensitivity that comes from the artists and sitters’ close personal relationships.

This installation is presented in conjunction it the special exhibition “A Place Aside: Artists and their Partners,” on view at the Kinsey Institute Gallery, September 28–December 20.

Artists working in Paris and Lorraine during the Baroque period developed distinctive styles—which focused on the vibrancy of the line—that differed markedly from their Italian and Dutch contemporaries. The two print kiosks in the early part of the gallery feature French works by Jacques Bellange, Claude Lorrain, Jacques Callot, and Claude Mellan, whose engraving is a tour de force of printmaking that creates the face of Christ using a single line.

Pictura Gallery on the downtown Square presents two exhibits, “Watershed” by Jeff Rich and “Captive Landscapes” by Daniel Kukla, which will run through October 27. “Watershed” is a photographic study of industry and environments in rural America; “Captive Landscapes” showcases a number of artificial landscapes designed to emulate the natural world. Pictura Gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday, 11 am to 7 pm.

The Grunwald Gallery of Art is pleased to announce “Samenwerken,” an exhibition of interdisciplinary collaborative multi-media works. This exhibition will open to the public with a reception Friday, September 21, 6- 10 pm. The opening reception will include live DJ’s and experimental music from IU and Bloomington musicians. The exhibition will be on view through Thursday, October 11.

Taken from the Dutch word meaning “teamwork,” “Samenwerken” will feature ambitious interdisciplinary collaborative works focusing on the combination of new and traditional media that change the dynamic of the space and challenge the perception of the viewer. The collaborative groups are comprised of current Indiana University students, alumni and faculty from the Henry Radford Hope School of Fine Arts as well as collaborators from outside of Indiana University.

This exhibit, “A Place Aside: Artists and Their Partners,” is on display at the Kinsey Institute Gallery and will run from September 28 to December 20.

Since the invention of photography, the camera has been turned towards loved ones to document birthdays, vacations, graduations, and other significant events. For each of the couples included in this exhibition, however, photography is not a method of simply recording events but a means of exploring their partnership through the creation of art. While the photographs serve as documents of a couple’s life together, they also reveal the trust and respect that each partner has for the other.

The Kinsey Institute Gallery is open to the public Monday-Friday, 1:30 pm-5 pm.
