BATES BEEF: Ruminations from rural Indiana
March 3 - April 6, 2025
Peeler Art Center, Visual Arts Gallery
Jerry Bates is attracted to the materials both natural and artificial that are found on the farm that he lives on in Cloverdale Indiana. A few of these things are the slick texture of straw, the practical use of corrugated sheet metal, the brightly painted colors of farm machinery, the ground nourishing cattle manure and all the other beautiful things in nature that are constantly recycling themselves. He uses these materials and other found objects to create art works that touch on many current topics often with a twist of humor to them. |

Miranda Holmes: Bright Bones
October 28 - December 8, 2024
Peeler Art Center, Visual Arts Gallery
Miranda Holmes (b. 1994) embraces expansive notions of identity and intimacy in her paintings, drawings, and installations. Her work speculates on how we shape one another and the places we inhabit. Using transparent films of paint, Holmes layers the shapes of everyday objects and experiences within figures, entangling them with the cups they hold, the drawers they open, and the shoulders they lean on.
Bright Bones features work created by the artist over the last two years, including during her time in Berlin, Germany under a DAAD Fellowship in the Arts. Each work attends to thresholds of interaction that mark a relationship in flux. Holmes paints the edges between subject matter as active and buzzing. Subjects and objects seep into one another, destabilizing the Self/Other binary for a fluid vision of experience. Gestures of care and conflict lodge within bodies like memory calcifying into bone. The show underlines painting as a site for textures of intimacy to spark, wrestle, grow, or diminish within a single moment.

Beyond: Tapestry Expanded is a curated and juried exhibition that features work from artists exploring the expansive properties of tapestry. Using the definition of tapestry as a nonfunctional, handwoven pictorial structure, artists combine both hand and digital processes, using non-traditional materials, creating three-dimensional forms, or incorporating multi-media components, including sound and video. The exhibition is organized by the American Tapestry Alliance, curated by Erica Warren, art consultant, scholar, and former curator at the Art Institute of Chicago, and juried by Jade Yumang, Associate Professor of Fiber & Material Studies at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and Alexa Griffith Winton, art historian and curator at the Cooper Hewitt Museum.

Art as Propaganda
August 26 - November 15, 2024
Peeler Art Center, Second floor Display Case
For centuries, art has been used as propaganda, spreading political messages through vibrant colors and cultural iconography. From as early as 515 B.C.E., with the creation of Persia’s Behistun Inscription, to now, propaganda has helped nations win wars, supported dictators and democracies, and spurred political agendas. The propaganda posters in this case are from Russia, China, and the United States, and they show how art has been used to promote agendas and how different governments implement this centuries-old tool. Curated by 69色情视频 student Abigail Fathauer class of 2025. |
