Field Live! Exhibition features work from campus journal

KOKOMO, Ind. - Photography, screen prints, videos, poetry, and prose featured in the 2024 edition of Indiana University Kokomo's Field: A Journal of Arts and Sciences is showcased in an exhibition beginning on Wednesday (November 20) in the Art Gallery.

The opening reception for Field Live! is from 1 to 3 p.m. Wednesday in the gallery in the IU Kokomo Library Building, 2300 S. Washington St. Admission and parking are free. Students published in Field Vol. 9, published in April 2024, will attend and can talk about their work.

Jim Coby, assistant professor of English and editor-in-chief of the journal, said the exhibition features visual art included in volume 9, but also will include screens with some of the creative writing that was published as well.

"This is a nice forum to celebrate the artistic and creative achievements of our contributors," he said. "Ultimately this journal is driven by students, to emphasize the creativity we have here on campus. It's a magnificent forum to highlight creative and academic thought at IU Kokomo."

Free copies of the journal will be available in the Gallery during the exhibition.

The journal is curated by student editors, who participate in a one-credit internship. They serve in roles including managing editor, associate and copy editor, art director, and on boards for research, art, prose, and poetry.

The IU Kokomo Art Gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and closed Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
