Students will be screening the work of modern to contemporary video artists as well as hosting guest speakers with various specialties in the video world.

Go to this event at Ringel Gallery at 2PM on April 18th!

Chicago-based artist Nick Cave will lead a Soundsuit Invasion through Purdue University’s Spring Fest on Saturday, April 18th. Nick Cave’s soundsuits are a unique combination of fashion, sculpture, and dance. The attention-grabbing performance will feature student dancers from the Purdue Contemporary Dance Company and will begin at 2 pm in the Robert L. Ringel Gallery in Stewart Center and proceed to Memorial Mall as part of Spring Fest on campus. 

Nick Cave is currently professor and chairman of the Fashion Department at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago; he is represented by Jack Shainman Gallery in New York. Cave's soundsuits have been shown nationally and internationally, including recent exhibitions at the Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston; the Denver Art Museum; the Trapholt Museum in Denmark; the Peabody Essex Museum, Salem; and le Tri Postal in Lille, France. Cave's work is included in a number of public collections, including the Brooklyn Museum; the Detroit Institute of Arts; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the Smithsonian Institution; the Indianapolis Museum of Art, and now Purdue University.

The performance at Purdue is part of the recent acquisition of two Nick Cave soundsuits for Purdue's Lonsford Collection. The Lonsford Collection is an on-going permanent series of sculptures, paintings, and other major art pieces that are acquired through the Lonsford fund. The fund was established through the generous gift of Florence H. Lonsford, a former Purdue graduate and artist who desired “to support the acquisition of art objects in the Department of Visual and Performing Arts” at Purdue University. Mrs. Lonsford particularly wanted to place art works in spaces where students could gain an understanding and appreciation of their beauty, meaning and significance. The soundsuits will be on permanent display beginning in the fall semester of 2015.

The Robert L. Ringel Gallery is free and open to the public
Monday - Saturday 10 am to 5 pm, and Thursday, 10 am to 8 pm.

                               Go to the exhibition and leave a feedback by March 29th.

Thursday, March 26, 5:30 pm 
Join us for a gallery talk by Zaria Forman in Ringel Gallery, with a reception to follow.

Changing Landscapes is an exhibition featuring drawings, collage, and mixed media pieces by artists Zaria Forman, Matthew Shelley, and Amy Alice Thompson. The collective works inspire and contribute to conversations about environmental and geographical shifts, with an emphasis on human contributions to or interpretations of the landscape.

The artists provide a global but personal interpretation of our changing world, explore collective memory through transcendental imagery and dramatic manipulations of space, and sometimes use the landscape as a part of a world of fiction, which announces itself as something separated from actual experience.

Hello All,

Lindsay McCormick's MFA exhibition including highly conceptual photographs and installation are on display at Rueff Gallery starting March 9th-13th. Only one week show.

Please go to experience the show and leave a feedback by next Sunday!
