NUVO- Flounder Lee’s big adventure
You can usually find Flounder Lee, an assistant professor of photography at IUPUI's Herron School of Art and Design, somewhere around town, either in a classroom or the gallery he co-founded, SpaceCamp MicroGallery. But Lee periodically takes trips far afield — from Alaska to Northern Europe and beyond — to explore the borders that divide nations and peoples from one another.
NUVO- Aerospacial
Curator Flounder Lee was once an aerospace engineer at the University of Alabama, before becoming an assistant professor of photography at Herron. According to Lee, he left aerospace engineering because it was too heavy on economics and not theoretical enough. The work of the three artists featured in Aerospacial reflects the curator’s hot and cold relationship with aerospace engineering. Sam Davis exhibits panoramic photos which depict astronauts acting like the Beat Generation…McLean Fahnestock’s video piece “Grande Finale” emphasizes the legacy of enduring images from the space program's launches… Darren Hostetter departs from the space motif and presents paintings of bombers and drones arranged into snowflakes, kaleidoscope projections and textile patterns…One hesitates to call the show a loving memorial to aerospace engineering; instead it forces us to ponder its central purpose, its legacy and its place in the natural order.
Indianapolis Star-Test Fest
Flounder Lee, who teaches photography at Herron School of Art and lives in Fletcher Place, was one of the 11 artists on site Saturday. "I don't get to do a lot of 3-D stuff, and I liked the idea of the challenge of only using something that's there," Lee said. Lee picked up pieces of broken dishes, left from Test's home that has since been demolished, and planned to create a sound installation using the dish pieces against a 55-gallon barrel he found on the grounds.--Gretchen Becker
