Events for May 19th, 2013

Full-length modern version of holiday classic is presented by 108 local dance students and the dancers of G2, the pre-professional company of Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre and follows the same general storyline as the original, but with a uniquely different twist -- in which Klara is portrayed as a homeless orphan girl who discovers the true meaning of the season through the gift and giving spirit of a homeless man.

Hosted by Theron Smith. Roots, dancehall and more.

Hosts: Claude Brissart and De ja Voodoo.

Dog shark touch pool, bonnethead sharks, penguins, seahorses and more.

Four-sided LED animated display by Julian Opie installed outside the tavern.

More than 1,800 pieces of art and memorabilia that reflect the final meal Jesus Christ had with his disciples. Open for tours by appointment only.

Featured in the airport's On Screen video wall art program through June, Barry Anderson's Lawn Ornaments leads off the latest IND art exhibits. Anderson transforms vintage pop-cultural imagery into looping, meditative video animations and installations. Characterized by intense colors and floating geometric shapes, his pieces update 1950s-19 70s aesthetics for a destabilized, digital present. Objects come steadily closer or journey across the frame at a measured pace, which is the exact opposite of the quick-edit diet fed to the viewer by most mass media. By slowing the action, Anderson lures the viewer in; his animations behave more like paintings in the way that they engage the viewer. In Lawn Ornaments, Anderson creates a bug's-eye view of a slow march across a suburban lawn, with roiling clouds above, subtle images in the grass, and the occasional leap of a snail shell. The original version is 3-1/2 minutes long, with five computers taking the better part of a week to render it for the On Screen program. Anderson, a native of Greenville, Texas, received his bachelor of fine arts in photography from the University of Texas at Austin and master of fine arts in photography and digital media from the Henry Radford Hope School of Fine Arts at Indiana University, Bloomington. He currently lives and works in Kansas City, Missouri. His pieces have been seen in international fairs and festivals of new-media art from Bangkok to Dubai. From press release

Books as art is the theme of this exhibit by students from the Book Arts program at Herron School of Art and Design. Instructor, artist and bookmaker Karen Baldner guided students through an intensive hands-on immersion into the book arts, leading to fanciful creations that are at once literary, visual and historical.
