Public Talk with Kenneth Tyler + Opening Reception

Presented by Herron Galleries at Herron School of Art and Design

This fall the Herron School of Art and Design at IUPUI presents a survey of collaborations between Herron alumnus Kenneth Tyler and eleven of the twentieth century’s most iconic artists, on view in the Galleries at Herron September 19 to November 10, 2018.

Also on view in the Galleries at Herron through December 12:

In the Marsh Gallery: MacArthur Fellow Mary Reid Kelley and Patrick Kelley’s The Minotaur Trilogy, a trio of videos that bring a feminist perspective to the Greek myth of the minotaur, using punning wordplay, handmade costumes and sets, and bawdy humor to riff on classical mythology and pop culture.

In the Basile Gallery: Stuff(ed), an exhibition featuring the work of five contemporary artists who explore the playful, subversive power of sculpted fabric to transform and reimagine mass-market commodities and bric-a-brac from everyday life. Participating artists are Jessica Dance, Gil Yefman, Andrea Pritschow, David Gabbard and Natalie Baxter.

A public talk with Kenneth Tyler will occur during the opening reception for all three exhibitions on Wednesday, Sept. 19, 5:30 to 8 p.m. at Eskenazi Hall, 735 W. New York St.

Herron’s fall exhibitions and programs occur in conjunction with the 50th Anniversary of IUPUI’s founding in 1969. Now through June 30, 2019, IUPUI will honor the past, celebrate the present, and envision the next fifty years with openings, unveilings, and special events. Visit 50.iupui.edu to learn more.
