INSTALLATION IN THE IMA’S THE VIRGINIA B. FAIRBANKS ART & NATURE PARK: 100 ACRES
The Indianapolis Museum of Art has commissioned artist Kim Beck to create the next site-specific installation for The Virginia B. Fairbanks Art & Nature Park: 100 Acres. Premiering June 22, 2013, NOTICE: A Flock of Signs will be the Park’s 11th installation since its opening in June 2010, joining site-specific works by Alfredo Jaar, Jeppe Hein, Kendall Buster and Andrea Zittel, among others.
Join Indiana Humanities for an INconversation with artist Kim Beck and the Indianapolis Museum of Art's Lisa Freiman. Beck's new installation NOTICE: A Flock of Signs will open at the Virginia B. Fairbanks Art & Nature Park: 100 Acres on June 22. For this inventive installation, clusters of hyper-informative signs will be sited throughout the Park, creating surprising, nonsensical landscapes—reminiscent of the fantasy world of Dr. Seuss—in an otherwise serene nature preserve. Freiman is the IMA's Senior Curator and Chair of the Department of Contemporary Art, and 2010 Commissioner of the U.S. Pavilion in the 54th International Art Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia. Thursday, May 23, 2013 from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM (EDT)
Mixed Greens presents work by Julianne Swartz, Kim Beck, and Joseph Smolinski!
System: ECOnomies
January 24 – March 30, 2013
Boston University 808 Gallery
System: ECOnomies presents the work of individual artists and collaboratives who consider questions of sustainability through the invention or investigation of ecological systems and communities. Through art practices that intersect with interdisciplinary research and DIY activism, the selected artists propose different methodologies and models for sustainable living. From a large-scale inflatable beehive to a self-sufficient urban habitat, the projects open up new narratives for environmental resilience and social change. Viewers will have the opportunity to broaden their own ideas about the environment by directly engaging with several of the artists’ projects through events, workshops, and performances that invite collaborative action and dialogue. The exhibition is curated by Lynne Cooney and Dana Clancy. Participating artists include Kim Beck, Center for PostNatural History, Futurefarmers, Mary Mattingly, Jaimes Mayhew, Maria Molteni/Colette Aliman, Plotform, and Marina Zurkow.
