CAUSE, EFFECT, AND CONSEQUENCES A BY JOHN KRULL // NEWS@NUVO.NET
t present, there’s little evidence that the president of the United States understands that actions—his actions—have consequences. Nor does he seem to grasp that human beings of mature and moral sensibility must take responsibility for the consequences of the things they have done. His hurried and thoughtless decision to relocate the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem has led to bloodshed. Israeli troops have fired, again and again, on Palestinian protesters, leaving bodies stacked in the streets and the sand in somber tribute to the U.S. president’s determination to make a “statement.” Trump implied his predecessors in the White House, both Republican and Democrat, hadn’t moved the embassy because they lacked his courage. Another possible—and more likely—explanation is that they reasoned that what amounted to a symbolic gesture wasn’t worth the loss of human life. They thought about the consequences of their actions. Similarly, Trump pulled out of the deal to denuclearize Iran. His half-baked rationale for doing so was that it wasn’t a perfect deal because it didn’t completely humiliate and humble Iran. But perfect deals don’t exist in a flawed world—particularly between self-governing republics and tyrannical theocracies. That’s why more realistic and responsible global leaders worked on structuring an arrangement with Iran that focused on drawing that tortured country back into the family of nations. The hope was that, over time, increased intercourse between other nations and that country would work to weaken the Iranian autocracy. The European democracies aren’t aban-
doning the Iranian deal. Instead, they’re abandoning any notion that the United States, under this president, will exert constructive leadership in the world. And there’s more. For weeks, President Trump has been touting his upcoming “summit” meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. He saw it as a vindication of his “readyfire-aim” approach to diplomacy. Now, Kim apparently doubts that the United States will honor any commitment it makes. And he understands that the only “deal” Trump will want is one that involves an abject surrender from North Korea. For that reason, he doesn’t see much point in talking with Trump about denuclearizing or diminishing tensions in any other way on the Korean peninsula and elsewhere. All these events were predictable and are connected. They’re driven by a U.S. president who thinks looking before he leaps is a sign of weakness. A president who never thinks about consequences. Not long ago, Donald Trump’s amen corner wanted to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize. If they really wanted to do something to help the cause, Trump’s supporters would give him something much more useful: a lesson, a dictionary, or thesaurus—anything that might school him to the fact that his actions have consequences. It’s a lesson we can hope he’ll learn before any more people are killed.

OBSERVING NAKBA DAY
Hoosiers Gather in Support of Palestine BY DAN GROSSMAN // DGROSSMAN@NUVO.NET
A
NAKBA VIGIL AT MONUMENT CIRCLE //
4 // NEWS // 05.23.18 - 05.30.18 // 100% SUSTAINABLE / RECYCLED PAPER // NUVO.NET
group of approximately 50 Hoosiers gathered at Monument Circle last week for a vigil organized by the Muslim Youth Collective, American Friends Service Committee, Jewish Voices for Peace, and Students for Justice in Palestine. The gathering took place on Nakba Day. Nakba is an Arabic word that means catastrophe, and Nakba Day marks the displacement of 750,000 Palestinians from Israel during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. It is generally observed on May 15, the day after Israeli Independence Day. The day before the observation of Nakba Day here and around the world, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner acted on behalf of the U.S. government at the opening of a new American embassy in Jerusalem. It was no coincidence that the embassy opening took place on Israel’s 70th anniversary. It was also the day that Israeli Defense Forces opened fire and fired tear gas from Israel across the border fence at protesting Palestinians in Gaza, killing at least 58 and injuring at least 1,200. Among the dead were five minors and a paramedic. When Umaymah Mohammad, a vigil organizer, started to speak, she began by referencing the violence in Gaza but quickly segued to the desire of the Palestinians to return to Israel. “It’s hard to describe what my heart feels, to describe what it’s like to wake up every few days with another list of Palestinian, unarmed dead Palestinians, and watch the world ignore people suffering,” she said, her voice amplified by a megaphone. “But I’ll do my best to leave you and my Palestinian siblings with something to take
home. Today is a day of rage. Today millions of Palestinians in the diaspora are waiting to come home.” While Palestinian citizens of Israel make up roughly 20 percent of Israel’s population—not including Palestinians in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip—the number of Palestinians in the diaspora is more than 6 million. These diaspora Palestinians include many of the descendants of those made refugees by the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. Israel bars all diaspora Palestinians from returning and taking up residence within Israel, including those from the adjacent West Bank and Gaza. The vigil on Monument Circle included other speakers, including Umaymah Mohammad’s 16-year-old sister Salma Mohammad, a student at Hamilton Southeastern High School. She read a poem called “White Noise.” The subject of the poem, she said, was how news stories about Palestine—and Palestinians—tend to get drowned out. “Even when there is media coverage on Palestine, we often ignore it,” she said. Many of those standing on the steps of Monument Circle held placards with the names of people killed during protests in Gaza along the fence separating it from Israel. After the speeches were over, there was a 10-minute stretch of silence for those who died, and then the protest ended. In an NPR interview two days after the killings on the Gaza border, Israel’s Deputy Minister for Public Diplomacy Michael Oren laid the blame on the recent deaths in Gaza at the feet of Hamas, the organization that has been in control of Gaza for the past 12 years.
NUVO.NET/NEWS When NPR’s Ari Shapiro asked if Oren believed the Israeli military’s response was proportionate and justifiable, Oren replied with the following: “I think it was inescapable. I think we had no other choice. We had 40,000 people coming toward our border. On the other side of the border is [sic] our civilians. This is not a peaceful protest. According to the organizers, according to Hamas, the protest was designed to break through the border, to kill Israelis and destroy our country. So it’s not the image of, you know, the civil rights movement here.” Not everyone agrees with Oren’s narrative, however. According to Hamas, the protesters killed were unarmed. When Shapiro noted this during the interview, Oren disputed this point. What is indisputable is the fact that no Israelis have been killed during these border incidents. Malkah Bird, a chapter leader for Jewish Voices for Peace, was on hand for the vigil. Not only was JVP a co-sponsor of the Nakba

vigil but also is a co-sponsor along with the Muslim Youth Collective and AFSC Indiana of a teach-in at Masjid Al-Fajr Mosque, which will educate and instruct about the history and reality of life in Gaza. “To be Jewish does not mean to be Zionist, and to be Zionist does not mean to be Jewish, as we know,” she said. “Jewish values tell us that we are supposed to seek justice, heal the world—tikkun olam. It’s not only in spite of being Jewish that we believe in this but because we’re Jewish that we support this cause. These killings are being done supposedly in our name, but we don’t agree with it at all.” N

SPEEDWAY SPOTTERS
IndyCar’s Unseen Crew Members BY LORI LOVELY // EDITORS@NUVO.NET
“I
nside, inside…clear.” Often picked up on track radios and television broadcasts, the words of spotters reveal another layer of teamwork—one that fans often overlook because spotters undertake a behind-the-scenes position. The role was developed in the 1980s, when some teams began positioning a crew member at a spot distant from the pits for better observation of track conditions. Prior to the rise of the spotter, drivers
only communicated with their pit team, but it was discovered that some vital information about traffic and car performance could best be seen from afar. From a perch high above the track, the spotter has become an integral part of the team whom drivers rely on to provide essential information and help keep them safe. Spotting for Dale Coyne Racing this year is retired race car driver Duane Carter Jr., better known as Pancho. The former CART driver, who won the 1981 Michigan 500 and
6 // THE BIG STORY // 05.23.18 - 05.30.18 // 100% SUSTAINABLE / RECYCLED PAPER // NUVO.NET
pole position at Indianapolis in 1985, began spotting in 2000 when Panther Racing owner John Barnes recruited him to scout upcoming drivers. He ended up replacing then-spotter and current IMS president Doug Boles. Among the drivers he has worked with over the years are Sam Hornish Jr., the late Dan Wheldon, and Vitor Meira. The role of a spotter encompasses keeping in constant contact with the driver and the team, as well as IndyCar, for notifications of yellow flags and other official com-
munications. He or she apprises the driver of what’s happening around him or her: accidents, cautions, the gap to the leader or the car in front, the car gaining from behind, and other pertinent information. “When they’re wheel-to-wheel, they need to know who runs better high or low and if they should move their line,” Carter says, pointing out that the drivers have limited visibility from the cockpit in the current IndyCar. “Drivers can’t see well out of the mirrors,” especially at speeds of 230

miles per hour and because it’s difficult to turn their heads due to the padding and helmet tethers designed to mitigate the strain of G-forces. Spotters are required to stand for long periods of time in all weather conditions, with few, if any, breaks. Carter says that during some practice sessions, he’s been able to spot from the grandstands in order to get a little protection from the blazing sun, but on race day, the spotters will be high atop the grandstands on the roof of Penthouse E in Turn 1 and in Turn 3. Although there are no formal job descriptions or official requirements, Carter says that series officials now scrutinize spotters. “They should have some experience or a recommendation.” In addition to basic racing knowledge, the job demands intense focus, unwavering concentration, a good memory, foresight in order to predict outcomes, and the ability to remain calm under pressure. “Don’t get excited until the race is over,” Carter cautions, recalling the 2011 Indy 500 when rookie J.R. Hildebrand was leading with two laps to go but running low on fuel. “Hildebrand should have won.” Already anticipating Panther Racing’s first win, the spotter didn’t alert Hildebrand of

his sizeable margin over second-place Dan Wheldon, so when Hildebrand encountered the slowing car of Charlie Kimball, out of concern that Wheldon might catch him, he took an unnecessary risk by passing Kimball on the outside, resulting in a crash on the retaining wall on the last lap. “You can’t start celebrating until the checkered flag.”
“There’s a lot of chitchat drivers don’t need to know. They hear what I want them to.” —PANCHO CARTER
Few rules apply to the spotter. However, each team must have a spotter for every session—and two at Indianapolis, the only track that is impossible to view in its entirety from a single vantage point. If the spotter isn’t in place, the car can’t go. Carter mentions one team that didn’t want to use spotters, so they “used to send a guy with a radio who didn’t do anything.” His philosophy is that if a spotter prevents one crash, he’s earned his salary for a couple years.
More teams are using spotters on road courses now too, such as Team Penske, Chip Ganassi Racing, and Dale Coyne Racing, to name a few. Using spotters to relay information allows the team to concentrate on data and strategy without worrying about yellows or adjusting car position out of the pits, Carter explains. Communication is the spotter’s job, but the amount of communication varies, depending on the driver and the track. “There’s a long straight at Indy, so I’m not on the radio much then,” Carter explains, adding, “At Texas, I talk quite a bit.” In fact, he uses a separate radio frequency to talk to the timing stand to get information about using different engine maps and other technical adjustments. Codes can be used for certain fuel settings to keep the competition from knowing the team’s strategy. Sometimes, a completely different language acts as a buffer. Roger Yasakawa, Takuma Sato’s spotter, speaks to him in Japanese. Carter jokes that one of his early roles as a NASCAR spotter for Missouri-born Dorsey Schroeder was as an interpreter because Schroeder couldn’t understand his crew’s Virginia accent. But, he says, the added time it takes for a driver to translate can have grave consequences.
Typically, Carter says, drivers want to hear about the cars behind them because they don’t want someone sneaking up on them while they’re working through traffic. Carter also reminds them to use the weight jacker if the car under- or oversteers. But, he says, “There’s a lot of chitchat drivers don’t need to know. They hear what I want them to.” For example, Carter doesn’t give them lap times and rarely puts a stopwatch on them. “If the line works and they’re gaining, I tell them they’re faster. If they’re off the pace, I tell them. If they lose momentum, it takes a while to get it back.” Spotters also talk to other spotters to get help with passing, as long as their drivers are not running for position. Because he also serves as driver coach at Coyne, Carter oversees all the drivers. “I concentrate on my car but keep an eye on the others. I watch their lines.” For example, many drivers “pinch” Turn 1. If they do, it results in a bad exit there and a bad entry in Turn 2. It’s something he watches for. While he does offer encouragement, Carter says, “If I have to be a cheerleader, they need another job.” Being a former driver helps in this role, he believes, because he understands the driver’s point of view and doesn’t tolerate excuses from them. Some drivers don’t want a lot of input; a few think they don’t want any at all. At Kentucky, one Indy 500 winner was not doing as well in the race as he could. “He was running at the bottom where there was no grip, even though everyone else was higher up and faster. I told him to move up one lane, but he moved up two or three…and didn’t do well. He told me to shut the fuck up. So, I did…for 30 laps.” Carter was fired for that but quickly got hired by another team. “It’s important to work as a team and treat it like a job,” Carter emphasizes. The unassuming racer says he’s never made it down to Victory Lane in time, but he’s satisfied when he knows he’s done a good job for his drivers, adding, “If the car still runs into the trailer, that’s a good race.” Typical of his understated manner, Carter says being a spotter is “a nice weekend job.” N NUVO.NET // 05.23.18 - 05.30.18 // THE BIG STORY // 7

T
he 102nd running of the Indianapolis 500 will be Danica Patrick’s last race before hanging up her helmet for good. The 36-year-old American has reunited with sponsor GoDaddy in the iconic green No. 13. Patrick joins Spencer Pigot and team owner/driver Ed Carpenter at Ed Carpenter Racing for her first open-wheel race since she was a regular on the circuit in 2011 before transitioning to NASCAR.
In preparation for the open-wheel race, she participated in a refresher course at the famed oval on May 1, trying to reacquaint herself with an IndyCar that has changed significantly since she last drove one and is hugely different from the stock cars she’s now accustomed to driving. The new IndyCars are sleeker, with different padding in the cockpit, tighter-fitting seat belts, a new aero kit, and turbo-charged engines. The lack of power
steering, which Patrick enjoyed in NASCAR, made the steering feel “heavy,” she said. “Man, that wheel is so heavy. That was my biggest issue: the weight of the wheel. When the wheel is heavy, it feels loose, so it’s hard to be aggressive with it. I’m stronger than when I was here before, but it is just such a different feel.” Besides getting comfortable in the car, Patrick worked on making simple changes to improve it. “It feels pretty
planted, so it’s just small, little changes and kind of feeling how the tires go over the course,” she explained. Perhaps the biggest lesson for the 2005 Rookie of the Year is patience in reorienting herself to the style of driving required at Indy. Nevertheless, she reported feeling comfortable driving to the drift limit and said she has a “good feeling” about being back. “It’s a special place.” N NUVO.NET // 05.23.18 - 05.30.18 // THE BIG STORY // 9

FROM RACE CAR TO REALITY STAR BY LORI LOVELY // EDITORS@NUVO.NET
W
hile driving race cars brings with it a certain amount of fame, being tightly tucked into a cockpit and shielded by a full-face helmet also lends an aspect of anonymity. But, as several drivers have recently learned, there’s nowhere to hide on television. Competitive by nature, some IndyCar drivers have subjected themselves to rivalry on different terms by participating in reality television shows in order to increase name recognition and raise awareness of their sport. One of the first was Helio Castroneves of Team Penske, who won season five of Dancing with the Stars in 2007. Enticed by Apollo Ohno, who won season four and who stopped by the team garage
in May, Castroneves was struck by his friend’s enthusiasm. “Ten out of every 11 words he used were ‘fun.’” The other thing that impressed him was the fact that most of Ohno’s recognition came from the show, not from his sport. It would be the same for the three-time Indy 500 winner. “Eighty percent of people know me from DWTS,” he says, explaining that during finals week, the show garnered 25 million viewers and that every Monday and Tuesday during its 14-week run, the show drew 18–20 million viewers. Local support was also substantial, with the show ranking No. 1 on ABC in Indiana. “Indy embraced it,” Castroneves remem-

bers. He danced on court at a Pacers game in front of a full house while both the city and the racing series lobbied for votes to keep him on the show. He nearly didn’t go on the show at all, but after convincing sponsor Philip Morris to agree to let him do it, the Brazilian set his expectations low. “My goal was not to be eliminated first,” he recalls. His success may be attributed to his approach: the same competitiveness and work ethic he applies to racing. “Not many were practicing much,” he says. In his drive to improve his dance skills, he and his partner even practiced at the track at Texas when he raced there. “I was dedicated; there was no playing around.” Dancing is very different from racing,
Castroneves reflects. Being in good physical condition helped, but dancing requires a different type of fitness and concentration. “It was a unique experience, learning to do something I didn’t think I could,” he says, joking that not only did he learn to dance for free, but he also realized that if he puts his heart, mind, and sweat into it, he can do anything. Castroneves walked away with the Mirror Ball Trophy, recognition (both for himself and his sport), and an appreciation of reality TV that led him to do Celebrity Wife Swap, Celebrity Family Feud, and American Ninja Warrior. But the highlight of DWTS, he says, was getting Wayne Newton’s phone number. “I went to his house and petted a penguin!”
NUVO.NET/THEBIGSTORY
JAMES HINCHCLIFFE AND SHARNA BURGESS ON DANCING WITH THE STARS //
HINCH HITS THE STAGE Just as Castroneves was influenced by a friend to do Dancing with the Stars, James Hinchcliffe of Schmidt Peterson Motorsports was convinced by Castroneves to do season 23 in 2016. When a producer contacted him, the Canadian driver was hesitant, but after talking with Castroneves, he was convinced to give it a try. Hinch, as he is fondly referred to, considered it “great exposure to an audience that doesn’t necessarily follow the sport. I think it exposed a lot of people to IndyCar in a cool way. I mean, we had a car ON the dance floor during a dance!” Once people have someone to cheer for—an emotional connection to a driver— they become devoted fans, Hinchcliffe believes. “DWTS definitely has passionate fans, so I think we definitely [attracted] a new fan base!” he says. “And, of course, it was great for me personally as well. It helped expand my brand to that new market and gave me a more visible profile outside of just the sporting world.” Like Castroneves, Hinchcliffe applied his training to dancing. “It reinforced lessons I already used to get to where I am in my sport: hard work pays; practice makes perfect; you can do anything you set your mind to. All of them sound like

complete clichés, but they are absolutely true. I hadn’t danced anything more complicated than the Macarena when I went on the show. Before long, I was Argentine tango-ing with a blindfolded professional dancer. It’s amazing what you can do when you set your mind to it.”
“It was a unique experience, learning to do something I didn’t think I could.” —HELIO CASTRONEVES
Setting his mind to dancing wasn’t easy. He says he learned how to block out nerves and fears and to “be” in the moment. “It sounds silly to think that going on stage was more nerve wracking than racing an IndyCar at 220 miles per hour, but the truth is, it was. I’ve been racing for over 20 years, and I’m comfortable in that world. I’d been dancing for, like, 20 minutes and had to go out on live TV! Not easy.” Hinchcliffe, who survived a near-fatal injury in an accident at IMS in 2015, confesses to being “addicted” to Survivor and says, “If the situation was right, I’d do that one, for sure.”

Rossi, a tall, introverted driver who won the Indy 500 as a rookie in 2016, says he was attracted to the show as a way to increase brand awareness for himself and for the IndyCar series—as well as “for a great experience and chance to win a little money.” Mission accomplished. “I really think there has been a lot of extra buzz at the races this year—maybe more people and definitely more people who come and ask about the show,” he believes. “Hopefully, people saw a different side of me than they see at the racetrack…a little more laid-back and fun.” Daly, an accomplished driver and son of former Formula One driver Derek Daly, was a longtime fan of the show. When Rossi asked him to be his teammate on the show, Daly said, “Yeah, sure, why not?” He explains, “It seemed like a cool opportunity that fit in our schedules at the right point.” He also believes IndyCar gained “a tremendous amount of new fans.” Daly says several fans have told him on each race weekend that they showed up just to watch
him and Rossi because of the show. Daly says reaching a different audience was part of the reason the pair did The Amazing Race, but the experience taught him a lot—like not to eat scorpions or frogs, he jokes. “I learned that I can do a few more things than I thought I would be able to do and that I can be myself in front of a camera [for a show] that can be edited to be funny!” Rossi gained a new appreciation for everyday conveniences…and learned that he has the ability to eat scorpions if there’s a chance to win a million dollars. Despite classifying it as a “grueling experience” filled with long days and long nights—some of which were spent sleeping on airport floors and the floor of an abandoned building in Belgium—Daly says the experience was “totally worth it” and that he would consider doing other reality TV shows if they fit around his racing schedule. Rossi, who praises his teammate’s success in milking a camel in Bahrain, confesses that he considered DWTS but was intimidated after seeing Hinchcliffe on the show.
FIRED BY THE PRESIDENT Michael Andretti, owner of Andretti Autosport, stepped in for his son Marco on Celebrity Apprentice in 2011 when the younger Andretti’s schedule couldn’t accommodate the TV show. The reticent former driver and son of Mario (who, rumor has it, was the show’s original target) says his motivation to do the show “was absolutely to help bring awareness to the sport.” Admitting that he considered Celebrity Apprentice “a great experiment in teamwork,” the team owner reveals that a few years ago, he had considered building a reality show around his own team and drivers. The former CART series champion has a reputation for his staunch support of auto racing through the years. He has participated in series such as Indy Lights, FIA Formula E, USF2000, Pro Mazda, A1GP, Global Rallycross, and ALMS, so it’s no surprise that he’s willing to consider a reality show on his own terms in order to promote his team and IndyCar. At least if Andretti is in charge, there’s no risk of being fired. N NUVO.NET // 05.23.18 - 05.30.18 // THE BIG STORY // 11

t’s Indy’s time to shine. More people will be making their way into our city over this week than at any other point during the year. While everyone knows about the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the fun that can be had during the events there, especially when you’re drinking the day away with friends new and old, Indianapolis has much more to offer than just the Greatest Spectacle in Racing. No matter which side of town you are on, there are hip new joints, historical mainstays, and everything in between that can give you some of the most unforgettable meals in the city.

‘COLLECTING CONTEMPORARIES’
A Conversation with Exhibit Curator Elisabeth Smith About the New IMA Exhibit BY DAN GROSSMAN // DGROSSMAN@NUVO.NET
O
ut of all the artwork in Collecting Contemporaries: Recent Acquisitions from the Koch and Wolf Collections at the Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields, it is James Rosenquist’s “F-111” that leaps off the wall for me. A four-part lithograph with screen print, “F-111” presents the viewer with a jumble of images: fighter jets, a plate of spaghetti in sauce, nuclear explosions, and a girl with her head in a missile-shaped hair dryer. Rosenquist also has a painting by this name dating from 1965, just a few years after the Cuban Missile Crisis. “The idea of painting as overload as a yowling discharge of images in torrential sequence was Rosenquist’s peculiar and memorable contribution to pop-art,” wrote the late art critic Robert Hughes in his book The Shock of the New. “Elsewhere it hardly existed in painting, and its received context was poetry or the lyrics of some pop singers, like Bob Dylan.” There are many other prints worthy of attention here too: works by Jasper Johns, Robert Longo, Sol LeWitt, Roy Lichtenstein, and Andy Warhol among them. These works were collected by longtime IMA supporters Kay Koch and Joan and Walter Wolf. Their gifts to the IMA, according to the museum, are some of the most significant in its 135-year-old history. Though curator Elisabeth Smith recently left her position at the IMA, NUVO had a chance to speak with her recently about the exhibit and the choices she made when putting it together.
can prosperity, militarism, and popular culture. The artist mined commercial and everyday images to reveal their power and acutely address the relationship between consumerism, media, advertising, and, at the time, the Vietnam War. The print makes a not-sosubtle political statement.

THE FALL CREEK ART FAIR Inaugural Group Exhibition Supports Local Artists BY DAN GROSSMAN // DGROSSMAN@NUVO.NET
J
erome Neal is a prolific painter who was a longtime exhibitor at the April Show. This was an annual one-night-only exhibition featuring the work of local, marginalized artists. It was held in a house located at 322 Arsenal Ave. until last year. Neal’s son Sanjiv has decided to carry on this tradition but in a new venue with a new name. The inaugural Fall Creek Art Show will take place in a part of town on the Near Northside that has yet to experience the wave of home renovation that has hit so many other areas of the city. “Last year I brought some barbeque to the show, and I heard that’s going to be the final show,” says Sanjiv Neal, who, in addition to being a firefighter with the IFD and army reservist, is a real estate investor. The house that he owns at 2417 N. Kenwood just so happens not to have a tenant at this time and is available this week for a one-night-only exhibition. Both father and son wanted to continue to offer wall space for artists who have health-related and/or financial barriers. And while reaching out to artists who exhibited in the April Show, Sanjiv Neal met new artists. “I probably met four or five artists that weren’t in the April Show due to me networking with more people, and they had awesome work,” he says. “They had never even been in a show before, and this is going to give them that spotlight to shine. We are also going to be working with a charity, a fundraiser for military veterans, so a portion of the proceeds are going to support the military veterans that are in need. And I’m really excited about it. It’s something that I want to
that in America. We were in Amsterdam one day. The next day we were in London then Paris.” They also drove to Venice. “We didn’t get on a gondola but enjoyed the sights and cuisine.” Another April Show alumnus, Brian Duff—who exhibits on an infrequent basis—will have work at the show. Duff’s “Disco Power Field” will be hanging during the exhibition. “Basically, I just came up with the idea of the spokes of the field…It would be like a disco,” Duff says of the painting. “I did it rather quickly because I didn’t have much blue paint left at the time, so I had to work really quickly or it would dry too fast. And it ended up having sort of a ribbon effect.” Painting is not the only artistic endeavor that Duff is involved in. He also plays violin. You may have caught him playing violin at the exhibit We Cannot Speak Other Than By Our Paintings at the Kurt Vonnegut Memorial Library.

ndianapolis hip-hop veteran Sonny Paradise remembers the first time he ever tried his hand at making rhymes. “I actually wrote my first rhyme on my aunt’s front porch after getting robbed,” says the 39-year-old emcee and producer. “Right after that happened, I went into the house and watched Yo! MTV Raps, and the first video that came on was ‘Night of the Living Baseheads’ by Public Enemy. It was kind of like everything I was participating in outside crumbled, and that video put me on the path of becoming an emcee. I just took a negative and turned it into a positive pretty much.” Having now spent decades in the rap game, Paradise is also the host of a new monthly Hip Hop Nite at Square Cat Vinyl showcasing the best that Indianapolis has to offer. Scheduled for the fourth Thursday of every month, the all-ages event brings emcees young and old together for an all-encompassing evening of local rap music. With this month’s installment on Thursday, May 24, Paradise has curated a lineup that includes Ace One, Black Eddie, Deific, Drayco McCoy, Micky Young, and Rhetoryk, with DJ Jay Diff holding it down on the ones and twos. Born and raised in Indianapolis, Paradise remembers going to check out local hip-hop before he was even allowed in the clubs. “I can remember standing outside of The Melody Inn and watching people that I admire now rap through that window when I couldn’t get in,” he says. Of course, Rusty Redenbacher and the Mudkids were an early inspiration to the aspiring emcee, but he remembers being drawn to another group as well. “360 Degrees were people that were very intricate in what I was looking for as far as the hip-hop I appreciated,” Paradise says. “I remember seeing them ride around in an all-white Range Rover all the time, and it was like, ‘Yo, they’re doing it.’ The hip-hop I liked was vibrating on that energy. It was like Wu-Tang, but that shit was here.” With his own work, however, Paradise makes sure to keep a balance between fly and down-to-earth guy. “If I’m 50 years old, and I’m talking about trappin’ from a youthful perspective, then I did something wrong as far as my hustle is concerned,” Paradise says. “Are you going to take advantage of the youth by manipulating their mind into

thinking you’re something that you’re not, or are you going to stand on your own two and represent the real? I try not to give off a facade to the best of my ability.” This realness is on full display in Paradise’s 2018 song “Adlibs in the Streets,” which was produced by Mefadone Klinik. The lyrics to the song were inspired by recent acts of violence in Indianapolis. “I was going through this idea of how every morning I get breaking news on my phone of somebody who got killed,” Paradise says of “Adlibs in the Streets,” which also received an awesome music-video treatment as well. “And that was the same day that old girl got shot in front of Long’s Bakery. That energy is what made that song complete. Death is everywhere. You really can’t escape it.” As for the monthly Hip Hop Nite, Paradise jumped at the opportunity of hosting the event after being approached by Square Cat Vinyl co-owner Patrick Burtch. “I felt like the hip-hop community as a whole was kind of missing something,” Paradise says. With the Hip Hop Nite lineups, he aims to present a diverse spectrum of rap music. With the upcoming showcase, for example, audiences will get a taste of the old-school Naptown sound from Ace One, as well as a taste of the new-school sound from Drayco McCoy. “I try to make sure that there’s something for everybody,” Paradise says. “If I’ve got an opportunity to put those people in the same place at the same time, then why not?” In looking back on his days standing outside of The Melody Inn, he is also grateful to offer up an event that gives all ages a chance to indulge in some top-notch local hip-hop. To him, Hip Hop Nite is all about getting as many people as possible in one room to experience hip-hop culture together. “I like my daughter being able to come to a Hip Hop Nite and have fun with me,” Paradise says. “I can pull her up on stage, and she can get that experience. If I’m able to have a Hip Hop Nite, it only makes sense for it to be all-ages because I wanted that when I was a kid.” N

YONATAN GAT’S REVOLUTIONARY MUSICAL PHILOSOPHY Israeli Guitarist Discusses Latest Album ‘Universalist’ BY KYLE LONG // MUSIC@NUVO.NET
created in 10 different sessions at 10 different studios over a period of three years. It was a very long editing process. All of the samples on this record were recorded by Alan Lomax.
NUVO: The press release for Universalists says the record was inspired by the tense global political climate of 2018. Does that sound accurate to you? GAT: I started working on this record before Donald Trump was elected president. But I think this climate of xenophobia has existed in the U.S. for a very long time. I think as people in the arts, [we] have a responsibility to create a world that we imagine, not just reflect the world we see around us. If the world we see around us is hostile and close-minded toward foreigners and strangers, our obligation is to set the opposite example. If we believe in a truly international world, a world where people can travel freely from one place to another and communicate with each other, if we make music that doesn’t reflect those ideas it just sends off the wrong message.

T
o some extent, Yonatan Gat’s musical life will be forever intertwined with Indianapolis. Since leaving the punk band Monotonix in 2014, the entirety of the Israeli-born guitarist’s solo-led releases have been issued by the brilliant Indianapolis indie label Joyful Noise Recordings. That includes Gat’s latest, a fiery, consciousness-expanding musical manifesto titled Universalists. I recently met up with Gat at Joyful Noise’s Indianapolis headquarters for an in-depth interview discussing the political and musical intricacies of his new album. Gat conceived Universalists as a blow against political and musical nationalism, and the record features an array of samples drawn from Alan Lomax’s field recordings of regional music traditions from Indonesia to Italy. Read on to learn more about Gat’s revolutionary musical philosophy.
NUVO: The last time we spoke, I asked you about the dynamic of your live shows, which are remarkably unique and often largely spontaneous. While I love your recorded work thus far, I feel as if you hadn’t yet fully captured the energy of what you do live. But for me, this new album, Universalists, does capture the wild energy and almost chaotic creative spirit of your concerts. I think that was partially achieved through the use of sampling and post-production editing techniques. Tell us about the process you used to construct the music on this album. YONATAN GAT: I think it just goes to show how the studio and the stage are completely different beasts. We look at musicians in such a simplistic way. We think that the 13th violinist in a symphony, or a West African guitarist, or a karaoke singer, or a rock and roll bass player are all

the same. We just call them all musicians. It’s actually very different. So many artists that we know are really good in the live setting but not so good on the records or vice versa. When we were making this record, we were trying to bring some of the approach from the concerts. At some point, it became very clear to me that the solution for this kind of recording has to be a studio-based solution. This record was
think Israel has a truly distinct musical identity. I’m curious how much of this universalist mind state you’re currently exploring was influenced by growing up in Israel. GAT: Yeah, I think on one side it sucks to come from a place that doesn’t have a unique musical identity. I always feel like compared to an American musician, I don’t have something to lean on that is mine. Israel is such an amalgam of things. The music you would call “Israeli music” is either Russian music or…Turkish, Greek, Middle Eastern, or North African. But there isn’t a single thing you can point out as Israeli. Israel is a country that is 70 years old. In that region of the world, it is very young. Israel has a massive political climate that influences daily life and art in a radical way. All of that informs who I am. I think my music is Israeli in many ways, but I still don’t know what exactly that means. But I will keep making music and exploring until I find out.

© 2018 BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): The Aries poet Anna Kamieńska described the process of writing as akin to “the backbreaking work of hacking a footpath, as in a coal mine; in total darkness, beneath the earth.” Whether or not you’re a writer, I’m guessing that your life might have felt like that recently. Your progress has been slow and the mood has been dense and the light has been dim. That’s the tough news. The good news is that I suspect you will soon be blessed with flashes of illumination and a semi-divine intervention or two. After that, your work will proceed with more ease. The mood will be softer and brighter. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Do you know what you are worth? Have you compiled a realistic assessment of your talents, powers, and capacities? Not what your friends and enemies think you’re worth, nor the authority figures you deal with, nor the bad listeners who act like they’ve figured out the game of life. When I ask you if you have an objective understanding of your real value, Taurus, I’m not referring to what your illusions or fears or wishes might tell you. I’m talking about an honest, accurate appraisal of the gifts you have to offer the world. If you do indeed possess this insight, hallelujah and congratulations! If you don’t, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to work on getting it. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Now is a favorable time to worship at the shrine of your own intuition. It’s a ripe moment to boost your faith in your intuition’s wild and holy powers. To an extraordinary degree, you can harness this alternate mode of intelligence to gather insights that are beyond the power of your rational mind to access by itself. So be bold about calling on your gut wisdom, Gemini. Use it to track down the tricky, elusive truths that have previously been unavailable to you. CANCER (June 21-July 22): “A poem is never finished; it is only abandoned,” wrote poet W. H. Auden, paraphrasing poet Paul Valéry. I think the same can be said about many other kinds of work. We may wish we could continue tinkering and refining forever so as to bring a beloved project to a state of absolute perfection. But what’s more likely is that it will always fall at least a bit short of that ideal. It will never be totally polished and complete to our satisfaction. And we’ve got to accept that. I suggest you meditate on these ideas in the coming weeks, Cancerian. Paradoxically, they may help you be content with how you finish up the current phase of your beloved project. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I highly recommend that you spend the next three weeks hanging out on a beach every day, dividing your time between playing games with friends, sipping cool drinks, reading books you’ve always wanted to read, and floating dreamily in warm water. To indulge in this relaxing extravaganza would be in maximum alignment with the current cosmic rhythms. If you can’t manage such a luxurious break from routine, please at least give yourself the gift of some other form of recreation that will renew and refresh you all the way down to the core of your destiny. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Contemporaries of the ancient Greek philosopher Pythagoras told colorful stories about the man. Some believed he was the son of a god and that one of his thighs was made of gold. When he crossed the Casas River, numerous witnesses testified that the river called out his name and welcomed him. Once a snake bit him, but he suffered no injury, and killed the snake by biting it in return. On another occasion, Pythagoras supposedly coaxed a dangerous bear to stop committing violent acts. These are the kinds of legends I expect you to spread about yourself in the coming days, Virgo. It’s time to boost your reputation to a higher level.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): My counsel may seem extreme, but I really think you should avoid mildness and meekness and modesty. For the immediate future, you have a mandate to roar and cavort and exult. It’s your sacred duty to be daring and experimental and exploratory. The cosmos and I want to enjoy the show as you act like you have the right to express your soul’s code with brazen confidence and unabashed freedom. The cosmos and I want to squeal with joy as you reveal raw truths in the most emotionally intelligent ways possible. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): French novelist Honoré Balzac periodically endured intense outbreaks of creativity. “Sometimes it seems that my brain is on fire,” he testified after a 26-day spell when he never left his writing room. I’m not predicting anything quite as manic as that for you, Scorpio. But I do suspect you will soon be blessed (and maybe a tiny bit cursed) by a prolonged bout of fervent inspiration. To ensure that you make the best use of this challenging gift, get clear about how you want it to work for you. Don’t let it boss you. Be its boss. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Ancient civilizations waged war constantly. From Mesopotamia to China to Africa, groups of people rarely went very long without fighting other groups of people. There was one exception: the Harappan culture that thrived for about 2,000 years in the Indus River Valley, which in the present day stretches through Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India. Archaeologists have found little evidence of warfare there. Signs of mass destruction and heavy armaments are non-existent. Art from that era and area does not depict military conflict. One conclusion we might be tempted to draw from this data is that human beings are not inherently combative and violent. In any case, I want to use the Harappan civilization’s extended time of peace as a metaphor for your life in the next eight weeks. I believe (and hope!) you’re entering into a phase of very low conflict.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Every human being I’ve ever known, me included, has to wage a continuous struggle between these pairs of opposites: 1. bad habits that waste their vitality and good habits that harness their vitality; 2. demoralizing addictions that keep them enslaved to the past and invigorating addictions that inspire them to create their best possible future. How’s your own struggle going? I suspect you’re in the midst of a turning point. Here’s a tip that could prove useful: Feeding the good habits and invigorating addictions may cause the bad habits and demoralizing addictions to lose some of their power over you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Some books seem like a key to unfamiliar rooms in one’s own castle,” said author Franz Kafka. I suspect this idea will be especially relevant to you in the coming weeks, Aquarius. And more than that: In addition to books, other influences may also serve as keys to unfamiliar rooms in your inner castle. Certain people, for instance, may do and say things that give you access to secrets you’ve been keeping from yourself. A new song or natural wonderland may open doors to understandings that will transform your relationship with yourself. To prep you for these epiphanies, I’ll ask you to imagine having a dream at night in which you’re wandering through a house you know very well. But this time, you discover there’s a whole new wing of the place that you never knew existed. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Just for now, let’s say it’s fine to fuel yourself with comfort food and sweet diversions. Let’s proceed on the hypothesis that the guardians of your future want you to treat yourself like a beloved animal who needs extra love and attention. So go right ahead and spend a whole day (or two) in bed reading and ruminating and listening to soul-beguiling music. Take a tour through your favorite memories. Move extra slowly. Do whatever makes you feel most stable and secure. Imagine you’re like a battery in the process of getting recharged.
