The New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art presents "Harvesting Our Sun and the Milky Way Galaxy Sculpture" now through March 19.
Celebrated artist and urban designer John David Mooney and his team from the John David Mooney Foundation will present a lecture in coordination with the exhibition at 4 p.m. Thursday, March 17, at the New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art. The artist will be available for questions following the lecture.
Commissioned by the New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art in 2009 to do a design for the Eastern Gateway Entrance to New Harmony, Mooney and his team at the John David Mooney Foundation, including Daryl Booth, a University of Southern Indiana '09 graduate, have been working for the past two years exploring options for the space.
They have proposed an environmental art piece created from native plants and solar collectors in the shape of a spiral, complimented by two sculptures at either end of town. The piece responds to the history of the town, including George Rapp's Harmonie Society ideal of spiritualism and unity with nature Robert Owen's utopian society, which brought notable scholars of the arts and sciences to the town and New Harmony's agricultural base.
The exhibition will include drawings and models of the proposed art piece. Support for the design proposal was provided by the Robert Lee Blaffer Foundation.
The proposed plan would inhabit 60 acres on the eastern edge of New Harmony, bisected by Highways 69 and 62, and provide a majority of the energy for the town. Travelers coming to and driving around New Harmony would have the experience of interacting with the art as the solar collectors are moved throughout the year to take full advantage of the position of the sun.
Other elements of the plan include the use of other means of green technology such as hydroelectric power and wind turbines, and gardens that feature the walking labyrinth which is also significant to New Harmony's history.
The New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art is located at 506 Main St. in New Harmony, Ind. and is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. For more information, call 812-682-3156 or visit www.nhgallery.com. The New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art is sponsored by the University of Southern Indiana.
