Be at The Toby for a multi-media indie arts blowout featuring two art experiences inspired by the art of musician Sufjan Stevens and a performance by musician DM Stith.

This exhibition brings together two video and sculpture installations by Philadelphia-based artist Joshua Mosley: A Vue (2004) and the museum premiere of his newest work International. Each work is composed of a video that uses computer and stop-motion animation, and bronze sculptures of the figures that populate the works.

This exhibition will highlight MacArthur Genius Award-winner Tara Donovan's layered landscape-like installations made from common everyday materials, such as plastic cups, tar paper, cut electrical cable, pencils and Elmer's glue. The exhibition will include a number of existing works along with new sculptures commissioned by the IMA.

Free admission to Tara Donovan: Untitled is made possible by a grant from Eli Lilly and Company Foundation.

The Watercolor Society of Indiana presents the 27th annual juried exhibition of paintings featuring 52 works in a variety of styles. The Watercolor Society of Indiana is made up of more than 300 artist, student, and patron members statewide who produce high quality watercolor paintings and seek to educate the public about the beautiful transparent medium. Juried by master watercolor painter and instructor Alvaro Castagnet from Uruguay, awards for this year’s exhibition will be presented at the opening reception on October 18 at 2 pm in DeBoest Lecture Hall.

New York-based artist Josephine Meckseper is renowned for her thought-provoking works that engage with questions about the role of consumerism and political engagement in contemporary society. The two films in this exhibition, 0% Down (2008) and Mall of America (2009), crystallize many of the core issues that Meckseper has explored through her works in other media, using imagery appropriated from advertising and documentary footage of a shopping mall to create aesthetically seductive yet challenging works.

Enjoy a performance by Fenix de los Ingenios, a Bloomington-based early music ensemble devoted to Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American repertoires of literature and music. Artistic co-directors are Angelique Zuluaga (soprano) and Juan Carlos Arango (dulcian, baroque bassoon, shawmn).
