“Terry Border: Bent Objects”

Jan. 17-Feb. 11
CDFAC Art Gallery at the University of Indianapolis 
Last year, Terry Border’s book of whimsical photographs “Bent Objects: The Secret Life of Everyday Things” (Running Press) was an unexpected treat that still has a place on my family room coffee table. Every page—featuring ordinary objects (from cheese puffs to paper clips) transformed into comic moments—is a smile.
Now an exhibit based on the book will be seen in Border’s hometown, thanks to the Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Center. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Pixar should be calling any minute. Details here.
