Summer Exhibition Opening Reception: "Clotheshorse"

at Indianapolis Art Center

Join us for an evening of art spanning a variety of mediums, all focusing on some element of what we choose to wear and show to the world. The program kicks off at 7pm. We’ll also have a food truck with refreshments and delicious treats to purchase, with 10% of the proceeds going back to the Art Center to support our mission and programs. Additionally, art activities will be available for the public to participate in. We’ll be offering a leather ring activity for $2, and FREE sun print activities.

CLOTHESHORSE
This group exhibition will feature the work of artists across the country investigating how clothing, accessories, and fashion play a role in identity, commercialism, and social media in today’s world. Multiple mediums, perspectives, and techniques will collide in this survey of all things sartorial.
 
CHRIS BAKAY
Chris Bakay’s translucent sculptures work as a “metaphor for the impermanence of memory.” As Bakay researched vintage t-shirts designs and started translating them into resin sculpture, he found that viewers are able to give their own meaning to the work based on their own memories or pasts. Bakay says, “To me, the gold and silver [shirts] pay homage to an object of the past, in the same way the clear or translucent does.”
SOPHIE TREPPENDAHL
Sophie Treppendahl’s paintings explore the idea of portraiture while straying tradition into a new contemporary take. While historically portraits are straightforward images depicting people (sometimes surrounded by objects that might define them), Treppendahl flips the dialogue – choosing to instead portray people through depictions of their clothing, as well as objects or locations that have particular significance to those individuals.
