Today the doors open on “Robert Mapplethorpe: Photographs from The Kinsey Institute Collection” at Indiana University’s Grunwald Gallery.

The Grunwald Gallery’s ‘Midwest Matrix’ printmaking show creates quite an impression

Think of it as an exercise in artistic asceticism. Realizing he’s much more interested in the process he uses to create a sculpture installation than the actual end product, Indiana University Henry Radford Hope School of Fine Arts alumnus Derek Parker often practices what artists refer to as “limiting the palette” by vowing only to […]
