OUTSIDE/IN

We conducted series of artist exchange exhibitions in Bloomington, Indy, and Iowa City. The exhibition is part of the Big Car Collective’s ongoing project to visit other cities and towns and create shows about these places from our outside perspective. Outside/In is about discovery, spontaneity and the importance of perspective and place.

A project and show at Public Space One opened on May 1, 2009 in Iowa City, Iowa. The show titled “Iowa?” featured work by artists Cindy HinantJeremy EfroymsonAnna Rae LandsmanTre ReisingTodd Bracik and Jim Walker. This is part of Big Car Collective’s ongoing exchange program where Indianapolis artists go to other cities to do shows made in those cities and from those cities. Artists from Iowa City did their part of the exchange in Indianapolis in February of 2008.
