Perception Pattern Place - Digital Art by Michele Chiuini
5:00pm to 8:00pm @
Gordy Fine Art & Framing Company
224 East Main Street
“Art is not about pure representation but about our perception of reality. My work is a study on how we perceive place, through a combination of geometric patterns and colors.” So begins the artist’s statement of Michele Chiuini for his new body of work depicting architectural structures – stairs, doorways, windows – in colorful geometric arrangements. From the artist's personal imagination, then, come images that resonate with others, based on their own personal experiences of house, shelter, structure.
An opening reception for the artist will be held First Thursday, April 5th , 2012, from 5 to 8 PM at the downtown gallery. The public is encouraged to attend, and light refreshments will be served. The other downtown galleries will also be hosting free exhibits.
“Perception Pattern Place,” continues through April 30, 2012, and may be viewed during normal business hours: Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5:30 PM, Saturdays, 9 to 3, or by appointment.

224 E. Main St. Muncie, IN
Artists through the ages have traveled to far-away places for inspiration and new views of the world. The two artists featured for the May exhibit at Gordy Fine Art will offer their individual views of France and New Zealand for Muncie gallery guests.
Suzanne Lambert paints large, lush canvases of color and feeling. "De la MER et le CIEL - Of SEA & SKY" features swirls and dabs that dance together, then apart, with special sensitivity to light and rhythm. In the painting “2 Shores 2 Souls,” one almost feels the golden light on each “shore,” with the central swirling sea of cold blue that divides them. Offers the painter, “I was inspired by a quote from Khalil Gibran, ”Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.” Lambert maintains studios in Ohio and France, and makes regular visits to her family in Muncie.
Jan McCune, recently retired art teacher, just returned from a 21 day trip through New Zealand. The prolific artist produces one-of-a-kind pendants in silver and copper, adding etched textures and interesting, sometimes rare, stones. This exhibit will feature 21 new pendants inspired by the trip, including Maori motifs, such as carvings, tattoos, the spiral and fish hooks. Stones include amber and jade, which the artist learned to carve during her visit. Titled, “The New Zealand Collection,” each pendant may be viewed as a small format work of wearable art.
A reception for the artists will be held First Thursday, May 3rd , 2012, from 5 to 8 PM at the downtown gallery. The public is encouraged to attend, and light refreshments will be served. The other downtown galleries will also be hosting exhibits, and there is no charge to attend.
Each of the artists will give a short talk during the event. McCune will speak and answer questions beginning at 6 PM, followed by Lambert at 6:30.

First Thursday Opening: Tom Spoerner with guest Chris Graham
5:00pm to 8:00pm @
Gordy Fine Art & Framing Company
224 E Main St.
Tom Spoerner spent twelve years as the Chair of the Ball State Art Department, where he encouraged scores of students in their artistic pursuits. He was active in art education work at both state and national levels and the recipient of numerous honors, including the Art Education Association of Indiana Distinguished Fellow award. He retired from academic life in 2002.
“I started painting again in the summer of 2009,” Spoerner explains. While most of the professor’s works are hard-edge or abstract designs, he considers himself to be “old school” in both his approach and appreciation of art. “I am not concerned with super realism but want my paintings to look like something, have content, and be colorful. All of my paintings have a story behind them.”
Working in both painting and photography, the professor has exhibited in national, regional and local exhibitions; however, this will be his first show in 34 years, which he titled, “Back to the Old School: Painting Again after a 34 Year Hiatus.” Brian and Genny Gordy were students of Spoerner as they pursued Masters Degrees in the early 1980’s.
Gordy Fine Art and Framing provided its first art award at this year's Annual Student Show at Ball State. Arranged by their gallery director, Braydee Euliss, the award gave a student an exhibit of their work at the downtown gallery. Chris Graham was chosen by the juror to receive this award and will be showing in Gordy’s small front gallery during the month of June. Graham is fascinated with big cities, and most of his subject matter involves urban scenes. The new graduate has decided to move to Chicago, and this show, “The One of Many,” commemorates the big step he will be taking in this move. Graham works in woodblock, lithography, intaglio, and serigraphy to create the contemporary urban landscape.
A reception for the artists will be held First Thursday, June 7th, 2012, from 5 to 8 PM at the downtown gallery. The public is encouraged to attend, and light refreshments will be served. Spoerner will speak about his work at 6 PM. There is no charge to attend.
Gordy Fine Art & Framing Co. is located at 224 E. Main Street, next door to Muncie Civic Theatre. For more information, call 765-284-8422 or visit www.gordyframing.com.- First Thursday at The Artist Within featuring paintings by Brett Volpp 5:00pm to 8:00pm @ The Artist Within 313 S. Walnut
"Free Range" an exhibit of acrylic and mixed media paintings by Brett Volpp will be the featured show through the month of June. Brett grew up in Muncie, attended Delta HS and received his BFA in Painting from Indiana University. His work can be seen in various galleries in the Nashville, IN area. This is his first exhibit in Muncie and we hope you can come meet him on First Thursday June 7th from 5-8pm

"Impressions" a Print Show by The Glue & Scissors Society
12:00pm to 12:42pm @
The Cup
Mark making: perhaps the power in this art form is not its singularity but rather, its ability to be duplicated. Creating an impression is like skipping a stone. Each touch, no matter how light, creates a series of ripples. When replication is simple, distribution is simple. From there, the ripples arc out, casting over territory too large for one person, for one idea. Thus they shift, mature, spur creativity in others.
A single impression.
The softest breath over water.
These have the power to enact motion—to push ideas like paper boats farther than our own visible horizons.
The show will feature live music both at The Cup and Be Here Now
Though, all artwork will hang at The Cup.
Performances TBA

Love Will Tear Us Apart: A First Friday Art Exhibit
6:00pm to 9:00pm @
The Cup
1606 W University Ave
February is the season of unnaturally dyed daisies, everything heart shaped, and Barry Manilow songs spilling over like too much bubble bath. It is the time of year that we place the whole love shebang up out of reach on some gilt pedestal. “Love unites us!” we shout, lifting our ignorant fists to the heavens.
We at Glue & Scissors are pretty sure love will tear us apart, that all of our hearts better resemble scraped knees.
It's high time we compare scabs—the different shapes and textures of experience, how our bodies exist in constant dialogue with each other.
Love itself is a paradox.
We cleave together.
We are cleaved in two.
Recognition of the reciprocal nature of love means a greater understanding of the human condition.
It is perhaps this scrutiny that has the propensity to unite us.
The Cup will feature performances by:
Blake Mellencamp
Paul Witkamp, William Smith + Their guitars
Coyotes
Marta Vitolins
Also, a series of dramatic readings w/audience participation encouraged.Apr 4, 2013

224 E MainWhat is drawing? This is the question posed by Ball State Art Professor, Scott Anderson, to fellow faculty members. Their responses – 15, in total – are the basis of this exhibit. Explains Anderson, “I believe the most elegant and thorough answer to the question is: Drawing is the act of making marks – mark making with many different purposes and outcomes. From traditional approaches and mediums to newer investigations, drawing remains the primary tributary to any art practice.” He continues, “Drawing is still the most direct, unfiltered and honest means to record the world around you and to express yourself.”
While all of the artists have independent styles of creating, and use a wide range of mediums, they all “consider drawing to be an integral, if not essential, component of their art practice.”
Printmakers draw their images before printing them, painters typically draw before painting and potters and sculptors sketch out the details of their pieces before forming or building begins. This universal starting point for each art creation reveals that “drawing remains the primary tributary to any art practice,” as Anderson claims.
Anderson will give a talk about the exhibit at 6 PM during the opening reception on Thursday, April 4, 2013. Many of the other artists will attend the opening, and include Kim Anderson, Hannah Barnes, Brent Cole, Kevin Duffy, Robert Flory, Barbara Giorgio, David Hannon, Heidi Jensen, David Johnson, Sarojini Johnson, Mike Prater, Mary Ann Rahe, Tom Riesing, and Mark Sawrie. Light refreshments will be served and the public may visit between 5 and 8 PM.
On the other side of Gordy’s space, another exhibit will open in the “Nook.” Caitlin Lynch is a recent honors graduate of the BSU Art Department who uses a variety of materials ranging from drawing and painting to performance and installation. Her work “often utilizes invented narratives and simple symbols to tell autobiographical, highly personal stories.” Lynch currently works at Open Door Art Studio in Columbus, Ohio, as an Art Facilitator and at the Columbus Museum of Art. She will speak about her work at 6:30 PM.

Adventitious BiographyHolly Lay is a 2013 fine arts graduate of Ball State University where her focus was photography. Here are a few words from the artist about her exhibition, entitled "Adventitious Biography" at The Heorot:
"The body of work I am displaying is a collection of pieces I have done throughout my entire artist career. It is in many ways a biography of what I have done, where I have come, and how far I am going. It is a collection of photography, mixed media, and painting. I have worked in many different media and want to display some of my favorite works from the past years and of recent. My most recent endeavor has been a collection of glitch photographs and video. I started this project with glitching some images of Marilyn Monroe I have obtained over time and scanned them to digital format. On the computer I then opened the image as a text document and inserted quotes by her, the end result was the images you see in this presentation. This was the beginning to my work with glitch. I also have included many photographs I have taken documenting my life and family life as well as digital manipulations of representations of things I collect or of myself. Another part of this show is the paintings I have done over a long period of time. Many being friends that I would dress up for a photo shoot and then paint them in the costume and extreme make up they were wearing. This show is a display of many different works from many different series I have or am still working on."

Exercises in SpaceCasey Parmerlee writes about her exhibition: "I find very often in the art making process I correct myself over and over. Sometimes I correct multiple times in one painting, however most of the time corrections are most obviously seen over the course of several paintings. With each mark made comes a slew of questions ranging from examining what the next mark might be, where it might be in relation to the previous mark and in relation to where it falls on the canvas, what color, how thick or thin the paint might be, or if I need to paint over or move the previous mark. In making new work I am constantly trying to find solutions aesthetically to better articulate a message or an emotion to my viewer.
"I have been very interested in spacial, geometric landscapes and over the past few years this has been some of my most popular work. Because of this I have really focused in on what I want the viewer to take away from my paintings.
"I have chosen to refine my color pallet and work with non-traditional mediums on canvas such as charcoal, conte crayon, colored pencils, and using gesso as a medium instead of a ground and sizing as one might typically use it.
"The overall look and feel of this work is more refined than my previous work of the same subject matter. This body of work tends to conjure feelings of grandness and sophistication with its rigid lines and frame work, but still feels organic and tied to nature. It is this balance of geometry with the organic that I find interesting."
The Valhalla Room (21+)
215 S Walnut
WoBecca Melbert is a senior at Ball State University studying drawing and planning to graduate in the spring with a fine arts degree. Here are a few words from Rebecca about her exhibition entitled 'Wo' at Valhalla: "As time goes on, I have become more aware of myself, where I fit in as I grow into a young adult. My work is about the areas of comfortable being and uncomfortable situations in their ties specifically with womanhood. My drawings explore this concept on an individual level. The drawings also deal with domesticity, youth, sexuality, and art history. Large format and gestural lines support the importance of process in my work. All though most the drawings are mixed media, charcoal is the foundation of all of each one. It is important to note that the women in my drawings are most frequently not real but are manifestations of myself as well as my imagination."
