About Brose:

Brose received his BFA at Herron School of Art in Indianapolis in 2004. He currently works at the Indianapolis Museum of Art as an art installer, and creates custom mounts for museums throughout Indiana. He has exhibited in New York, Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles, and the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. He has recently completed a residency in Berlin, and he is represented by Dam, Stuhltrager Gallery in Brooklyn and Berlin.

About James:

James received his BFA from Herron in 2003, and received his MFA in sculpture from the University of Delaware in 2005. Since 2009, he has taught 3D Design at Watkins College of Art and Belmont University in Nashville, TN. From 2005-2008, he taught 3D design and sculpture at Herron. He has exhibited in Indianapolis, Nashville, New York, and Delaware.

Both Brose and James work mostly with large-scale kinetic sculptures that explore time, humane-machine interaction, and organic versus industrial materials, and how these creations compare to the natural world. For this show, they will both exhibit several pieces of their own, and also create a collaborative piece. The collaborative piece will deal with themes that their work has in common: the notion of structures, made from crane arms, re bar, and mechanical lines that nevertheless have human characteristics. It will be an organic structure made out of wood that the viewer can walk through.
