"Body and Spirit" exhibition opens at New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art
 The University of Southern Indiana’s New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art presents Body and Spirit by artists Phillip Chan and Adam Fleming. An opening reception for the artists will be held from 4 to 6 p.m. Saturday, June 21, and is free and open to the public. The exhibition runs through Sunday, August 3. Body and Spirit explores the physical body and humanity’s spiritual possibilities through sculpture, paintings, and drawings. Chan’s Fallen Angel series “examines our vulnerability as human beings and the pious state that each of us hopes to realize.” Fleming’s sculptures “represent the body with its silent longings. Each sculpture’s negative spaces, meditative and silent, wait to be filled by the Spirit of God.” Phillip Chan lives and works in Akron, Ohio. He is a professor of art at Youngstown State University where he has worked since 1992. He received his Master of Fine Arts degree in drawing and painting from San Jose State University in California. Chan has received numerous grants and awards including three National Endowment for the Humanities grants and a National Endowment for the Arts individual artist grant. Adam Fleming has a Bachelor of Arts degree in theology from Goshen College in Goshen, Indiana, where he lives and works. He has studied sculpture with Wayne Harshberger since 2002. He has had numerous exhibitions throughout the region and has won juried prizes at many art fairs and shows. New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art is located at 506 Main Street in New Harmony, Indiana, and is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and noon to 4 p.m. Sunday.
