Cardinal Stage presents “The Great Gatsby’ September 5-22 at the Ivy Tech Waldron Auditorium. The breathtaking glamour and decadent excess of the Jazz Age come to the stage in Simon Levy’s adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel. Nick Carraway finds himself drawn into the dazzling world of flappers, bootleggers, and a mysterious man named Jay Gatsby. But beneath all the romance is a harsh reality that cannot be escaped, no matter how hard Gatsby may struggle to row against the current of his past. This production is in partnership with the IU College of Arts & Sciences 2019 Themester.

Gesche Würfel | At the Hands of Persons Unknown

Pictura Gallery presents At the Hands of Persons Unknown by Gesche Wüerfel. These abstract, black and white prints depict old Southern trees as the silent witnesses to the lynching of women in the United States. This powerful project asks us to recognize and lament acts of racial violence carried out in North America.

Join us for September’s First Friday at The Fell, featuring “I love the way they look at me: making images of our selves” This multimedia exhibition by NOISE Project highlights portraiture that emerges from within intimate queer communities in the United States and Australia. Artists share the intimacy of their social relations in images that celebrate those associations without losing sight of contradiction, ambiguity, and internal turmoil. The pop-up gallery will feature, “Iteration” by Kirsten Taylor, a cast handmade cotton paper exhibition.

I LOVE THE WAY THEY LOOK AT ME:
making images of our selves

Because when they look at me, how the rest of the world looks at me can dissolve. I forget about the man accosting me on the street, telling me that a woman should never walk by a man with her head down. He follows me for a block and around the corner. When I lose patience and yell back, I know I am not safe in this world. When the confused man on the corner, high on something or other, realizes I am not quite a boy…

NOISE is proud to present a show about queer care, friendship, intimacy, and community represented by portraiture. Included artists create images that emerge from the communities in which they are immersed, sharing the intimacy of their social relations in images that celebrate those associations without losing sight of contradiction, ambiguity, and internal turmoil. Potential artists include Elliot Clausen, Brick Kyle, Bun Stout, and Mange. Themes include the complexity and contradiction within beauty, perception, and subversion of the traditional gaze. These highly aestheticized suites of images represent care, and a deep technical proficiency or mastery of craft, as well as a longstanding interest in the history of images in western culture.

A quick reminder, copies of NOISE 1: Things That Aren’t, NOISE 2: Output Sabotage, Videogame Ads in Comics Volume 1: 1982-1985, One-Two Punch, and Pulse and Pulsar are available for purchase at Friends of Art Bookstore and online at http://noise.center/shop

It’s hard to imagine a world without Rock and Roll. In the 50’s, Rock and Roll was forged in the 20th Century cultural cauldron that was America’s “melting Pot.” Join us as we explore those exciting early days when music with a backbeat was fresh and fascinating. The vitality of Elvis Presley, the brilliance of Chuck Berry, the genius of Ray Charles, the depth of Johnny Cash, the electricity of Little Richard, the raw power of Jerry Lee Lewis and the greatness of Buddy Holly are all magnificently represented in the powerhouse cast of Birth of Rock. Doors open 7 pm, showtime 7:30 pm. Concessions available, ticket prices do not include additio…
