Alternate Route by Phillip Lynam |
Fascinated by light and geometry, Lynam keeps his eyes peeled as he drives through his commute from the west side of Indianapolis to his job at the art museum. Often, he is inspired by architecture and snaps photos at red lights to capture his surroundings and reference his work.
Alternate Route is an act of responding for Lynam. He considers his daily life and art-making practice and asks himself, "What's sustaining about making work?" This exhibition in City Gallery showcases Indianapolis staples such as Longs Donuts, the Circle Monument, the Harrison Center's historic gym, and the Indy 500 pagoda.

Underground Gallery: Liminal Wonder by Liz Nelson |
Liminal Wonder by Liz Nelson is about noticing the joy and beauty that comes from the in-between and from the mundane.
Nelson's work typically features bright colors and visual motifs such as lines, circles, and spaces. However, in this exhibition, Nelson strays from the vibrancy of past works, embracing the tones of the natural world and the world around us.
