I am glad and grateful that this painting and another painting, Journey, are part of Visualizing Spaces nhgca ! 💫 Check out what my work speaks of, as a visual response to the question, “Who is utopia for?”
March 12 – April 23, 2022
🦋🦋🦋
Posted withregram • nhgca New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art, University of Southern Indiana is proud to present Visualizing Spaces, a group exhibition featuring works by Robert Burnier, Su A Chae, Nasreen Khan, Diego Morales-Portillo, Brenda Mallory, Deb Sokolow, and Janie Stamm. The exhibition runs from March 12 – April 23, 2022, with gallery hours from 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM Central, Tuesday – Saturday.
Building on New Harmony, Indiana history as the location of multiple utopian experiments, Visualizing Spaces examines themes around the search for utopia. The exhibition anticipates and engages the hopes, myths, failures, and fallout which occur in pursuing an ideal reality. Abstracted landscapes, impossible architecture, and resourced materials serve as both critique and creation of an idea of place. Centering around the question “who is utopia for?” Visualizing Spaces recognizes the past as what was lost, the present as what could have been, and the future as an imagined world for all.
Our first Public receptions will be held in conjunction with New Harmony’s Second Saturdays on Saturday, March 12 from 4-6 PM CT.
Visualizing Spaces supports the upcoming Social Alchemy Symposium that will be held in-person and online on April 10– 13, 2022. Social Alchemy is led by Indianapolis’ Big Car Collaborative.
This exhibition is made possible in part by the Arts Council of Southwestern Indiana, and the Indiana Arts Commission, which receives support from the State of Indiana and the National Endowment for the Arts.
New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art is a proud outreach partner of the University of Southern Indiana.

Many claim New Harmony is a utopia. Johann Georg Rapp and his Harmonie Society founded Harmonie on the Wabash in 1814. The Harmonists called the town their “neu Harmonie” having left their initial American home in Harmonie Pennsylvania. Its members were Separatists from the German Lutheran Church. This millennial society, waiting for Christ to come, build 180 buildings in the 10 years they were here and many are still standing today. They produced quality products including textiles, rope, barrels, tin ware, leather goods, candles, bricks and much more using the latest machinery and technology available. Because beverages were in demand in neighboring and river towns, wine, whiskey and beer were produced in large quantities. The daily production of whiskey was about 32 gallons and 500 gallons of beer were brewed every other day. The Harmonists applied their shared work ethic to achieve uncommon economic success, but in 1824 moved back to Pennsylvania and built their third town called Economy.
Robert Owen, a Welsh-born industrialist and social reformer, and William Maclure, an educator and the Father of American Geology, purchased the town from Father Rapp in 1825 and the second utopia was to be a new moral world based on equal education and equal social status. They brought the “Boatload of Knowledge” to New Harmony, navigating here with many scientists and educators including Entomologist and Conchologist Thomas Say. Years after Say’s death, his firefly became Indiana’s official state insect on March 23, 2018. Although their utopian vision eventually dissolved, the creative efforts of the Owen/Maclure period are still evident today.
The third utopia can be attributed to Jane Blaffer Owen (1915-2010). During her tine in New Harmony she brought modern architecture to the town, such as the Roofless Church, the Atheneum and many public art pieces. She created serenity with Tillich Park, Church Park and the Cathedral Labyrinth and has left behind a legacy all her own.
Utopia hasnt’ ceased to exist even today in this captivating little Southern Indiana town. New Harmony is full of life, offering all sorts of activities from one of a kind eateries, specialty shops, antiques, festivals, art, nature and history. Visit New Harmony and you’ll find yourself coming back to experience utopia for many years to come.
