Jeppe Hein

May 7-Sept. 5
Indianapolis Museum of Art
    Visitors to the IMA will be spending time sitting on the work of Jeppe Hein when his “Bench Around
the Lake” debuts as part of the Virginia B. Fairbanks Art & Nature Park in June. Things will be more kinetic, though,
when his “Distance” appears in the Forefront Gallery on Friday. The roller-coaster-like creation is activated
by sensors that, with each visitor to the gallery, set a ball in motion over a 1,000-foot track that includes loops and twists.
The track even goes through walls. Details here.

“Spotlight”

May 10
Clowes Hall
    More than 15 performers and groups are featured for just $15 at this annual benefit for the Indiana AIDS
Fund. More than a typical fund-raiser, though, the event is a celebration featuring some of the top arts companies in the
city. The lineup this year includes Dance Kaleidoscope (revisiting its lovely “For Jose”), the Indianapolis Symphony
Orchestra (Bach’s “Air on the G String”), and the Indiana Repertory Theatre’s Milicent Wright with
a scene from “Pretty Fire.” Those who attend will also be treated to musical numbers from Actors Theatre of Indiana’s
“Nunsense” and Indianapolis Children’s Theatre’s “Schoolhouse Rock Live!,” an original
work created for the event by Kenyetta Dance Company. A newcomer to the event is The (Re)Collective Company with a piece for
musicians and dancers. And there’s much more. For details, click here.
