"Being Part of the Moment," by James Wille Faust

INDIANA---James Wille Faust, the acclaimed Indianapolis artist whose sculptural painting “Chrysalis” in late 2011 was replaced by a video screen at Indianapolis International Airport — to the outrage of much of the arts community — has a show opening here later this month. The works, to be on display at the Arthur M. Glick JCC, 6701 Hoover Road, will be a series of small paintings and prints and possibly some sculpture, said Martha Faust, the artist’s wife and manager. This is Faust’s first show in Indianapolis since the giant flap over his giant, three-story-high piece made expressly for the airport. “Chrysalis” was removed from the new terminal to make room for a revenue-producing video screen that shows a blend of art and advertisements.
