Lecture by Renowned Indiana Sculptor Tuck Langland
Cool off with some HOT art!
Wednesday, July 18
2PM
Free Lecture and Demonstration!
Indiana’s own nationally-renowned bronze sculptor Tuck Langland will discuss his artwork, current projects in public art nationwide, and even provide a demonstration of lost-wax technique—used by sculptors for millennia!
Sculptor Tuck Langland is dedicated to art and the teaching of art. A retired Professor of Sculpture from the South Bend campus of Indiana University (where he taught from 1971 to 2003), Tuck designed and built the school’s sculpture studio from scratch, including the foundry. During this time, his interest in creating and casting bronze sculpture never wavered.
In addition to his teaching, the American art world also knows him well as a sculptor whose works are in collections, museums, and public plazas across the U.S. and Europe, and as an award-winning master of portraiture and the human figure.
The author of two acclaimed books on sculpture, Langland is currently at work on his third book, which will focus on techniques of portrait sculpture.

About 14 Portraits of the 7 Deadly Sins
For the past five years, Hartman has had a vision to combine film and art with floating images on walls and tabletops. With the advent of flat screen televisions, John's vision has become reality. Through 14 Portraits Hartman is creating a series of fourteen video portraits that combine this country's evangelical beliefs with it's original sin. His ultimate goal however, is to showcase through the marvels of modern technology, that moving images are a viable art – not just in a gallery or museum, but also in the comfort of your home.

John Hartman is a native of Fort Wayne, Indiana. He wrote and directed the short film, d.r.o.n.e, a New York International Independent Film & Video Festival official selection and served as director of photography and editor on the short films, Prelude To a Bad Tattoo and Valentine.
