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.

Light refreshments will follow in the IU Art Museum’s Thomas T. Solley Atrium, second floor.

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.

It’s almost impossible to come up with names of African-American violin players who have made their mark on pop music. The search is over! Classically trained Wil Baptiste and Kevin “Kev Marcus” Sylvester, the
founders of Black Violin, are the new standard. There has been no band to meticulously meld classical, hip-hop, rock and pop music into a single genre busting act– until now.

Black Violin has performed for everybody from American troops in Iraq to the official President’s Inaugural Ball and the Kids Inaugural in Washington, DC. They even shook hands and man-hugged President Barack Obama. Black Violin sold out performances at the New Victory Theater on Broadway and wowed audiences at the legendary Harlem Apollo Theater, accompanied Alicia Keyes on “Karma” at the 2004 Billboard Music Awards, and nailed their performance of “Stereo Hearts” on VH-1’s Unplugged with Patrick Stump of Gym Class Heroes and Fall Out Boy.

Open your ears, your heart, and soul—to the ground-breaking sounds of Black Violin, here at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater.

Live music at Topo’s!
