A new genre of collaborative performance is in the making, as demonstrated in 'Minimus 3D Arkestra,' a visual-sonic concert by Ikuo Nakamura (film) and Hayes Greenfield (sax/voice/effects rig). This pioneering fusion of disciplines will be revealed in a five-week run, today, June 30 to July 30, at the intimate 13th Street Repertory Theatre, 50 West 13th Street.

Indianapolis artist Philip Campbell's fully commissioned floor-to-ceiling carved mahogany installation offers iMOCA visitors an opportunity to experience 'work that people can touch.' Over a year in the making, Campbell's solo exhibition, 'Your Catfish Friend,' opens this Friday from 6 to 11 p.m. at iMOCA's Murphy Art Center location at 1043 Virginia Avenue. It is a touching return to the facility as Campbell revitalized the former five and dime store building as an arts hub in 1999 before moving on to other pursuits in 2009. Best known for his photo-realistic drawings and paintings, Campbell has also been carving for more than 20 years. The 22.5 by 11.5 foot work made for 'Catfish' and consisting of 26 panels is his first installation. It will fill the middle gallery. The front gallery will feature a plethora or work Campbell used to determine the final installation. It will include studies that determined the type of wood he'd use for carving, color tests and a few paintings also completed during the year it took for him to work on the installation. Over the last 25 years, Campbell's work has been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the United States and published and collected around the world. He just finished a stint as an Arts Council of Indianapolis Creative Renewal Fellow.
