Cynthia-Reeves Gallery Announces September Museum Highlights
CYNTHIA-REEVES announces the international premiere of New York-based artist, Anita Glesta's WATERSHED video installation at London's annual Totally Thames Festival, Tuesday, September 22 - Sunday, September 27, 2015. A public art project addressing climate change through large-scale imagery and sounds of ocean life and flooding waters, WATERSHED acts as a moving information 'billboard' about global warming that will be projected onto the face of the National Theatre [Lyttelton Flytower], facing the Thames River itself. The project's multi-sensory experience aims to offer the public a chance for intimate reconnection with nature, a phenomena so often lacking in the urban environment, along with the opportunity to reflect on the local effects of climate change in waterfront cities.
iMOCA Launches New Catfish Exhibit, 2/5
Indianapolis artist Philip Campbell's fully commissioned floor-to-ceiling carved mahogany installation offers iMOCA visitors an opportunity to experience 'work that people can touch.'
Over a year in the making, Campbell's solo exhibition, 'Your Catfish Friend,' opens this Friday from 6 to 11 p.m. at iMOCA's Murphy Art Center location at 1043 Virginia Avenue. It is a touching return to the facility as Campbell revitalized the former five and dime store building as an arts hub in 1999 before moving on to other pursuits in 2009.
Best known for his photo-realistic drawings and paintings, Campbell has also been carving for more than 20 years. The 22.5 by 11.5 foot work made for 'Catfish' and consisting of 26 panels is his first installation. It will fill the middle gallery. The front gallery will feature a plethora or work Campbell used to determine the final installation. It will include studies that determined the type of wood he'd use for carving, color tests and a few paintings also completed during the year it took for him to work on the installation.
Over the last 25 years, Campbell's work has been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the United States and published and collected around the world. He just finished a stint as an Arts Council of Indianapolis Creative Renewal Fellow.

Storytelling is a central part of Hancock's artistic practice. Each new work serves as a contribution to the saga of the Mounds, portraying the birth, life, death, afterlife, and even dream states of these half-animal, half-plant creatures, and their aggressors, the Vegans.
