Art Exhibit — The Wanamaker Collection, Images of Native Americans, Eric Dean Gallery, thru May 19.
In 1908, Rodman Wanamaker, the son of a wealthy store-owner, supported a series of photographic expeditions to record the Native American population. Joseph K. Dixon led the journey with the intent of recording the "vanishing race" before they completely disappeared, but he soon realized that Native Americans were not vanishing, but evolving. After witnessing the treatment of Native Americans and the poor condition of the reservations, Dixon became an advocate for the rights. Images of Native Americans is a traveling exhibition of the Wanamaker Collection of Native American Photographs from the Mathers Museum of World Cultures at Indiana University. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
22/Wednesday
8 p.m., Wabash Theater presentation of The Importance of Being Earnest, Ball Theater, Fine Arts Center (Other performances will be given on April 23, 24, & 25)
Set in the airless drawing rooms of turn-of-the century England, Earnest is a comedic assault upon a moralizing, prudish Victorian society. Jack and Algernon, both young gentlemen of quality, have created alternate identities for themselves in order to escape social constraints. In doing so, they set in motion a sequence of misunderstandings that illuminate the hierarchies and hypocrisies of modern life, then and now. A bouquet of cleverness, irony, and absurdity, this "trivial comedy for serious people" is as Wilde’s contemporary Max Beerbohm had it, "beautiful nonsense."
