The Grunwald Gallery at Indiana University is pleased to announce an exhibition of projected images by award-winning photographer Edward Burtynsky. This exhibition will open Tuesday, October 6 and continue through Saturday, October 17. Edward Burtynsky will present a public lecture on Wednesday, October 14 at 7pm in Fine Arts 015. In addition, the IU Cinema will screen Burtynsky’s film, Manufactured Landscape, on October 10 at 7pm. Burtynsky will also meet with students and faculty for a conversation about his work on October 14 (the day of his public lecture) at 4pm (location to be announced).

Edward Burtynsky’s work is an extended meditation on labor, land, beauty, and violence. The extraction of natural resources and the exploitation of human labor have transformed (and often enough, insulted) our shared planetary home. Burtynsky travels the globe photographing such sites of intensive industry—from quarries and nickel tailings in North America, to scenes shipbreaking off the coast of Bangladesh, to his more recent work in China, the epicenter of global industrial expansion. Burtynsky is a master photo-colorist, and his large-format images mix beauty and terror in a unique and powerful way. Art is testimony, and Burtynsky is testifying, eloquently, to the world we live in. He makes us see.

These events are sponsored in part by Themester 2015: “@Work: The Nature of Labor on a Changing Planet,” an initiative of the College of Arts & Sciences. Further assistance comes from the Center for Integrative Photographic Studies, with additional support from the Integrated Program in the Environment, the Grunwald Gallery and the IU Cinema. The lecture by Edward Burtynsky is a Ruth N. Halls Distinguished Speaker Event.

On Friday, October 16th,beginning at 6:00p.m. The Venue will host a Reception for the Exhibition and Sale of paintings by Wyatt LeGrand.
Wyatt LeGrand has continued to garner recognition as one of Indiana’s young art treasures, his plein air paintings having brought him recent awards from The Hoosier Salon, Indiana Heritage Arts, The Indiana Artists Club, Plein Air Magazine, and Oil Painters of America, . His paintings are now in the permanent collection of The Indiana State Museum. In Wyatt’s own words, “My inspiration and drive comes from nothing other than the experience of putting brush to canvas, letting the things I see before me flow from eye, to heart, to hand, to brush.”
For this show, Wyatt has created and selected paintings for his life partner and wife, Brittany. Thus inspired, they are intimate, and dynamic, but also supported by a complex of emotions and expressions that create depth and significance. This show is a major step toward Wyatt’s ascent from Indiana art treasure to Art Treasure.
Refreshments will be served at The Venue. You can visit the following link for free parking options near The Venue: http://bloomington.in.gov/parksmart.
This show will run at The Venue until November 5th. Join us.

Experience one of the most gripping and important operas of the new century.

Based on Sister Helen Prejean’s book (also the source for the blockbuster film) about her experiences as a spiritual adviser to prisoners on Death Row, Dead Man Walking is a “masterpiece of words, music, and emotions.” The New York Times

It opens with the brutal murder of two teenagers by Joseph de Rocher. It ends with his execution, Sister Helen at his side. In between, a searing emotional journey. A woman of God struggles to find humanity in a brutal criminal. A murderer is forced to confront and acknowledge his heinous act. And two families—those of the murdered and of the murderer—poignantly reveal that there are many victims of an unspeakable crime.
