The Tarble Arts Center is the teaching museum on the campus of Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, IL. With an artist-centered approach, the Tarble presents an annual program of rotating exhibitions that provide experiential encounters with art of international significance and local relevance. An onsite Education Lab, Design Lab, and Collection Lab are hubs for transdisciplinary activity, positioning art as a primary tool for research, advancing knowledge, and interpreting the world we live in. The outcomes of this experimentation produce projects, publications, and opportunities that reach EIU students, community members, regional partners, and international collaborators both in the museum and wherever they are. The Tarble’s ongoing stewardship of a permanent collection of contemporary art, American Regionalism, and folk art provides opportunities for study and reflection to students of all ages.

Sue de Beer is well known for her film and immersive sculptural environments, which both hold and transport viewers within and outside the frame of the artist’s lens. In Come Wind, Come Weather,de Beer has allowed the Tarble to present two of her films in concert: The Blue Lenses (2015) and The White Wolf (2018) to create a visually saturated viewing experience that harnesses the nostalgic character of place and the human desire—or even the basic instinct—to connect. This installation will take viewers on an exploration of the real and unreal, often blurring the curious boundary between specimen or the observer. De Beer’s environments become extensions of the film, as she asks viewers to not only see, but also be a part of the unfolding mysteries she creates within both works. Set in Abu Dhabi, The Blue Lenses is a two-channel film that follows a two-bit hustler and explores a young Arabic woman’s observations of his actions. Drawn from Daphne du Maurier’s short story, similarly entitled, de Beer’s The Blue Lenses presents the Middle East as a protagonist. Where based off the evidence presented by the artist, the viewers must decide what to believe or not. In de Beer's The White Wolf the artist reframes the classic tale of the werewolf as a way to present both themes of physical and psychological transformation. Juxtaposed together. both works are explorations of individual and collective memory, fact and fiction, truth, and subversion. As the spring’s signature exhibition, several programs will explore the themes presented in Come Wind, Come Weather.

This short story collection burst onto the scene when published in 2017. Parul Sehgal, writing for the New York Times, describes Her Body and Other Parties as “a love letter to an obstinate genre that won’t be gentrified. It’s a wild thing, this book, covered in sequins and scales, blazing with the influence of fabulists from Angela Carter to Kelly Link and Helen Oyeyemi, and borrowing from science fiction, queer theory and horror.” The eight stories that make up this vivid and arrecting collection are wide ranging and mix psychology, magic. and fairy tale into the experiences of women’s bodies and lives.

Inaction is co-organized with the Ezra and Cecile Zilkha Gallery, Center for the Arts, Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut; Monique Meloche Gallery, Chicago; the Richmond Art Gallery in Richmond, BC, Canada; and the Tarble Arts Center at Eastern Illinois University. We acknowledge the support of the Canada Council for the Arts.
About the Artists:
Brendan Fernandes (b. 1979, Nairobi, Kenya) is an internationally recognized Canadian artist working at the intersection of dance and visual arts. Currently based out of Chicago, Fernandes’ projects address issues of race, queer culture, migration, protest, and other forms of collective movement. These projects take on hybrid forms: part ballet, part queer dance hall, part political protest. As a queer Kenyan-Indian Canadian artist, Fernandes incorporates his identity in his work to investigate ideas of transnationalism and queerness. Always looking to create new spaces and new forms of agency, these projects foster a sense of solidarity and are always rooted in collaboration. Fernandes is a graduate of the Whitney Independent Study Program (2007) and a recipient of a Robert Rauschenberg Fellowship (2014). In 2010, he was shortlisted for the Sobey Art Award, and he is the recipient of a 2017 Canada Council New Chapter grant. His projects have been shown at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (NY), the Museum of Modern Art (NY), The Getty Museum (LA), the National Gallery of Canada (Ottawa), and the MAC (Montreal), among a great many others. Projects in 2019 include performances and solo presentations at the Solomon R. Guggenheim (NY), the Whitney Biennial (New York), the Smithsonian Museum of American Art (WA), the Museum of Contemporary Art (Chicago), and the Noguchi Museum (NY). He is currently artist-in-residence and faculty at Northwestern University and represented by Monique Meloche Gallery in Chicago.
Norman Kelley is an architecture and design firm founded by Carrie Norman and Thomas Kelley. The practice was established in 2012 and is operated jointly between New Orleans and Chicago. Their work re-examines architecture and design’s relationship to vision and prompts its observers to look closely. Clients and affiliates of the practice include Aesop, American Academy in Rome, Architectural League of New York, Chicago Architecture Foundation, Chicago Art Department, Early Learning Foundation, Volume Gallery, University of Illinois at Chicago, New Jersey Institute of Technology, Columbia University, and the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts, among others. The practice has been published in Log, Avery Review, MAS Context, Architect Magazine, Cultured, Domus, Dezeen, Wallpaper, Frame, and Design Milk, among others. The practice has contributed work to the 14th Venice Architecture Biennial (2014) and the inaugural Chicago Architecture Biennial (2015). The practice was a recipient of the Architecture League of New York Young Architect’s Prize (2014). Their design work, which includes a collection of American Windsor chairs, is currently represented by Volume Gallery in Chicago.

In this iteration of the iconic installation Mend Piece (Andrea Rosen Gallery, New York City version)(1966/2015), Ono proposes communal mending as an act of healing. In a seemingly simple white room, shattered cups and saucers are placed on a table. Participants are asked to bind the fragments together using common household items: twine, glue, scissors, and tape. The resulting creations are displayed on nearby shelves, evidence of the power of collective action. Secluded from the bustling world, Ono’s meditative environment inspires reflections on the tumultuous concerns of society, as well as personal struggles.
Conceived in the 1960s at a moment of rapid cultural transformation, this early example of participatory artwork still resonates strongly today. Mend Piece calls to mind the Japanese philosophy of Wabi-sabi, an embracing of the flawed or imperfect. For Ono, a visitors’ small act of mending holds the potential to resonate at a universal scale. With straightforward directions, the artist asks participants to let go of pretension and consider larger ideas: “Mend with wisdom/mend with love./It will mend the earth/at the same time.”
Yoko Ono’s work radically questions the division between art and the everyday, the artist and the viewer. Participating in Mend Piece (Andrea Rosen Gallery, New York City version), one experiences Ono’s unique practice both intellectually and physically.
This exhibition is organized by the American Federation of Arts (AFA). The presentation of Yoko Ono’s Mend Piece (Andrea Rosen Gallery, New York City version) is part of ArtRoom, an ongoing series of contemporary art installations organised by the AFA.

This exhibition traces the history of video and technology as media for the voices of feminist discourse from second- to third- and fourth-wave aesthetics and strategies. The title Force Majeure recognizes the power of historical and contemporary demands for voice and visibility; suggests the ways that nature and the landscape appear within the works in the exhibition; and acknowledges contingency, as in the common contractual force majeure clause. The exhibition presents a focused selection of influential contemporary video and media works installed throughout the Tarble's gallery and outdoor spaces.

Selections from the Tarble Arts Center's permanent collection
February 14–March 26, 2022
Main Galleries
This exhibition historicizes the role of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in central Illinois by showcasing the work of artists employed by a major federal agency during the Great Depression. Focused on a variety of themes, including folk art, regionalism, and the American working class, the artwork is significant as a distinct movement in the long history of the development of art. Furthermore, the story behind each piece offers insight into the artist, the historical moment they represent, and a budding artistic movement, as well as the political and economic realities of the era.
Guided by Assistant Professor Dr. Camden Burd, students enrolled in the Department of History’s Public History Practicum selected, researched, and examined the unique holdings of the Tarble Arts Center to design a compelling exhibit for the broader public. Students received hands-on experience by researching works in the Tarble’s permanent collection, working with Tarble staff on curatorial methodologies, and facilitating relationships with community partners to share, promote, and exhibit their work. This exhibition is supported by a Redden Grant from the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences.

Main Galleries
Typically, the last thing a museum wants you to do is touch the artwork. But for the Tarble's upcoming flatfile exhibition, visitors will be allowed and even encouraged to page through portfolios installed in the galleries: each flat-file drawer will contain artworks made by members of the Tarble community. This intimate and tactile viewing experience allows an unprecedented look at the variety of work being produced by artists working today while rewarding practices of slow looking and multiple visits to the exhibition space.
When the exhibition opens, visitors to the gallery will be invited to put on gloves and then carefully page through portfolios of artwork. The Tarble will manage a system to put collectors in touch with exhibiting artists, as many of the works will be for sale, but the Tarble will not handle any financial transactions or sales.

WATERSHED is a work of land art that proposes to repurpose approximately 8,000 square feet of pedestrian walkway on the Tarble’s grounds that has become degraded over the past forty years by the growth of intricate bald cypress root systems. The proposal would see these hardscapes demolished and processed into new concrete for a reimagined configuration. Reflecting the original design of the museum’s architecture in playful ways, this artwork will create more area for the Tarble’s cypress trees to flourish while supporting native plants and pollinators while also creating a platform for people to visit, rest, read, play, exercise, and participate in future Tarble programs.
While this large-scale project continues to develop, the Tarble has installed a nineteen-by-four-foot model of the proposed artwork in our galleries to help visitors imagine the new landscape that it will introduce. Young visitors and their caretakers are invited to play gently with the model in this gallery along with special edition toys and books by the Italian modernist designer Enzo Mari.
Studio Land Arts was founded by Artist-Designer-Builder Chris Carl after receiving his Master of Landscape Architecture degree from the University of Illinois in 2014. Working collaboratively from an ethos that positions the fields of Art, Design, and Craft as an ideal triad for relating to our built and natural environments, Studio Land Arts creates spaces that investigate systems, offer sustainable solutions, and provide platforms for engagement with each other and the world around us. In the work of Studio Land Arts, art invites exploration, design articulates solutions, and craft allows actualization. Studio Land Arts projects have been realized at many different sites and scales, from abandoned parking lots to nationally recognized museums.

Main Galleries
Typically, the last thing a museum wants you to do is touch the artwork. But for the Tarble's 2nd Biennial flat file exhibition, visitors will be allowed and even encouraged to page through portfolios installed in the galleries. Each flat file drawer will contain artworks made by members of the Tarble community and organized into a neat portfolio collection of up to ten works. This intimate and tactile viewing experience allows an unprecedented look at the variety of work being produced by artists working today while rewarding practices of slow looking and multiple visits to the exhibition space.

Visiting artist Mike Schuetz will give an evening presentation on his studio practice.
Mike Schuetz is an artist/designer who lives and works in Waco, Texas. Born in Kenosha, Wisconsin during the golden age of the town's manufacturing industry, Schuetz grew up in a nurturing, loving family. Being part of the TV generation, and influenced by cartoons, comix, Mad Magazine, skateboarding, and punk music, his work is a melting pot of all these influences.

Artist Lauren dela Roche will give an evening presentation on her studio practice.
Lauren dela Roche is a self-described queer punk feminist artist whose autodidactic approach integrates a broad range of references, including zines, European modernisms, and autobiography. While largely self-taught, her consumption of visual culture and art history allows her to draw upon long traditions of art history, remixing Egon Schiele’s line drawing with the influence of transgressive cinema, Persian miniatures, Greek mythology, and folklore into her own iconic, fresh style. Growing up in the Bay Area of California, and living for a period of time in both Seattle and Asheville, NC, dela Roche has resided in the Midwest since young adulthood and currently lives and works near St. Louis, MO.

Between Here and Home is an exhibition of works from the Tarble's permanent collection curated entirely by Tarble student staff members. This exhibition explores themes of building a home away from home and interacting with various media to help one feel safe in a new environment. The Tarble's student staff comes from diverse backgrounds, and by cultivating a space that allows them to grow and develop as young adults, Between Here and Home gives them space to do so through direct interaction with and appreciation of the arts.
The staff at the Tarble has become a small family, spending time together outside of work and keeping in touch once we move on from our college careers. Between Here and Home celebrates the joys and comforts the students have found while working in and around art.
Displayed concurrently with the EIU Faculty exhibition, Between Here and Home acknowledges those who have helped and continue to help us find our place here.

The exhibition brings together recent and newly created works by current and emeritus studio art faculty from Eastern Illinois University's Department of Art + Design. The term redux, meaning brought back or revived, was chosen to emphasize the long-awaited return of the faculty show to the Tarble’s exhibition cycle. Redux will feature a wide variety of artwork from painting, sculpture, and ceramics to digital media, installation, printmaking, and more. This exhibition presents a remarkable opportunity to engage with the creative work of the educators who shape the future generations of artists and designers.
Featuring: Matt Boonstra, Jenny Chi, Ann Coddington, Hannah Eads, Burçak Gezeroğlu Christensen, Bill Heyduck, Chris Kahler, Alicia Little, Dwain Naragon, Laura O'Donnell, Brad Olson, Robert Petersen, Alan Pocaro, Erin Rice, David Richardson, and Samantha Tableriou.
25 Years: Art + Design Alumni, 2000–2025, showcases the breadth of creativity and talent that emanates from the Department of Art + Design at Eastern Illinois University. As a quarter-century survey, the exhibition welcomes back former students and families to reflect on and celebrate what it means to have \"bled blue\"—on canvas, in the round, or anything in between or beyond—while inviting current and prospective students and community members to see what is possible after graduation.
