American Stories Lecture - Pop & Op: The Deification of Popular Culture
Thursday, March 15, 2012
1:00 - 2:00pm
Free
With world wars behind us, Ab Ex opponents were now looking for something-anything-that would turn the leading mode of expression to a more humanistic form rooted in tradition. Yet, artists could not fully return to the traditions of the past without noticing the visual culture of the day: mass printing was booming and screen media was evolving, two indicators that what was popular, mass produced, and easily consumed visually would have a foremost presence in the American way of life. Enter Robert Rauschenberg, Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, and Claes Oldenburg as key figures in the 1960s decade of Pop & Optical Art.

The Dormant Apothecary at Lotus Gallery
Christine Calhoun & Augusta Pryor: The Dormant Apothecary
Opening: Saturday, March 3rd from 6:00-9:00pm
March 3-24, 2012
This exhibition will feature a variety of drawing and painting mediums. A mix of activist art and the surreal.
Christine Calhoun works in brightly colored oil pastels, colored pencils and paints: mixing in dark and gloomy colors to create an often unexpected and fascinating wonderland. The sky in her subjects worlds is never flat, it is multifaceted like a gem stone, with almost as many colors. Augusta Pryor at first glance leans towards the dark, but it is really truth and introspection. Her work forces you to reexamine yourself. The glass in front of her harsh introspective stare seems to magnify the power like a microscope.
Both are recent graduates from the University of Saint Francis in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

DID's Artist Survey for Northeast Indiana and Fort Wayne
In an attempt to collect a stronger artist directory for use in the distribution of information to artists (grants, workshops, etc), and the production of Last
Saturdays events, we have created this artist survey.
This is a short, seven question survey, designed to collect contact information, descriptions of the artist's work, and get a better idea of what assets artists need to increase their production.
Please spread the word about this survey by sending it to your friends, co-workers, and organizations that might be interested in sharing it with artists with which they work. Also, please fill out the survey if you are an artist!
We are looking for visual artists, musicians, fashion designers, writers, curators, composers, film-makers, graphic designers, architects, educators who produce work, students, and anyone else who creates objects and experiences in Northeast Indiana. We want to create as comprehensive a list as possible, and account for the diversity within our creative community, which many times gets overlooked.
Again, please tell others about this artist survey and fill it out if you are a local artist.
Take care,

Exhibits opening at FWMoA
Trench Art: Productive Pastimes from the Debris of War
January 14 - February 26, 2012
Trench Art is commonly and broadly defined as any decorative item made by soldiers, prisoners of war, or civilians where the manufacture is directly linked to armed conflict or its consequences. Common articles that this includes are decorated, or modified shell or bullet casings, mess kits, helmets, and similar items at hand to a soldier at war. This type of art was a frequent souvenir of soldiers of the first half of the 20th century, and is often still found in the homes of veterans or their descendants.
The exhibitions is a collaboration with the Museum of the Soldier, Portland, Indiana and guest curated by FWMoA Technical Director Brian K. Williamson. Williamson is a founding board member and Vice President of the Museum of the Soldier as well as a Master Sergeant in the Indiana National Guard scheduled for a tour in Afghanistan in early 2012.
Active Military Personnel and Veterans will be admitted free with valid ID.
Cabinet of Curiosities: Works from the Collection
January 21 - February 26, 2012
Wunderkammer, or "Cabinets of Curiosities," arose in mid 16th century Europe as repositories for all manner of wondrous and exotic objects. In many ways, these are seen as precursors to the modern museum. Cabinet of Curiosities will bring together disparate works from the FWMoA's Collections highlighting and juxtaposing their differences in time period, media, function and the object's relationship to the definition of art. Challenge yourself to explore the links between 19th century tableware, a Japanese Urn, contemporary ceramics and mid 20th century studio glass; the results may surprise you! Included artists will range from nationally recognized makers to those with local Fort Wayne connections. Several of the works have not been displayed previously at FWMoA, and additional works have not been on display in recent years-find out what 'curious' objects the Museum owns!

In many ways, these are seen as precursors to the modern museum. Cabinet of Curiosities will bring together disparate works from the FWMoA's Collections highlighting and juxtaposing their differences in time period, media, function and the object's relationship to the definition of art. Challenge yourself to explore the links between 19th century tableware, a Japanese Urn, contemporary ceramics and mid 20th century studio glass; the results may surprise you! Included artists will range from nationally recognized makers to those with local Fort Wayne connections. Several of the works have not been displayed previously at FWMoA, and additional works have not been on display in recent years-find out what 'curious' objects the Museum owns!
