Reception: October 18, 6-6:30pm
An installation by ceramic artist Mie Kongo will be on display in Heuser Art Gallery October 1 – November 9, 2012. A reception for the exhibition will take place Thursday, October 18th, 5:00-6:30pm. The Chicago based artist developed this body of work while in residence at the European Ceramic Work Center in the Netherlands.
“My recent group of work from EKWC responds to the experience of being in and seeing a new environment. I collected objects that drew my attention; these objects had a previous purpose or were part of a prior process and sometimes discarded. I saw them in a new way, from a different point of view and transformed them into something different.”

Sense of Place – Photographs by Mikhael Antone
Hartmann Center Gallery
October 1 – November 6, 2012
Reception: October 4, 5-6:30
Sense of Place, a series of photographs by Indiana artist Mikhael Antone will be on display in Hartmann Center Gallery October 1 – November 6, 2012. A reception for this exhibition will be held October 4th, 5:00-6:30pm in the Hartmann Center Gallery.
“A Sense of Place speaks to our hopes, dreams and sense of identity based on place. The childhood landscape generally is thought to produce a primal landscape that one completely identifies with thus comparing further ideas of place in one’s future. When we are young we attach ourselves and become emotionally involved in these spaces. Places take on personality and identity. Memories get locked into these places even though they are of a different time.
In the series “Sense of Place” I focus on the spaces from my childhood. I photograph them as I try to remember a different time and place. I explore that sense of identity and coming of age within a particular landscape. I look for the emotions in the landscape and explore how these spaces have become almost stuck in their own past.” – Mikhael Antone
