Exhibit: ‘A Place Aside: Artists and Their Partners’

01:30 pm to 05:00 pm
Kinsey Institute (Morrison Hall, 1165 E. 3rd St.)
http://tinyurl.com/8exa49c

This exhibit, “A Place Aside: Artists and Their Partners,” is on display at the Kinsey Institute Gallery and will run from September 28 to December 20.

Since the invention of photography, the camera has been turned towards loved ones to document birthdays, vacations, graduations, and other significant events. For each of the couples included in this exhibition, however, photography is not a method of simply recording events but a means of exploring their partnership through the creation of art. While the photographs serve as documents of a couple’s life together, they also reveal the trust and respect that each partner has for the other.

The Kinsey Institute Gallery is open to the public Monday-Friday, 1:30 pm-5 pm.

IU Cinema Presents: ‘The Comedy’

07:00 pm
IU Cinema (1213 E. 7th Street)
http://www.cinema.indiana.edu/

On the cusp of inheriting his father’s estate, Swanson (Tim Heidecker) is a man with unlimited options. An aging hipster in Brooklyn, he spends his days in aimless recreation with friends in games of comic irreverence and mock sincerity. As Swanson grows restless of the safety a sheltered life offers him, he tests the limits of acceptable behavior, in every way he can. Heidecker’s deadpan delivery cleverly masks a deep desire for connection and sense in the modern world. Rick Alverson’s provocative character study touches a darkness behind the humor that resonates with viewers long after the story ends. (HD Cam presentation)

December 9, 10, and 14. Rick Alverson is scheduled to be present at all screenings.
