Chelsea Sanders	blueline creative co-op & gallery 224 N College Ave [812] 589-7377 bluelinestyle.com Tues–Fri 12–6, Sat 12–4	Blueline Gallery is a group of artists who maintain and work in a gallery space in the lively downtown area of Bloomington, IN. Showcasing local exhibits for all artists amongst the community. Gallery Reception April 5, 2013 from 5-8pm Exhibiting April 5–May 31 Back Home Again. A solo exhibition of photographs by Ryan Dorgan. They always say that you don't really know what you've got until it's gone. They say there's no place like home. They're right. A 2012 graduate of the IU School of Journalism, Ryan Dorgan's work and studies have taken him across the globe from the southern United States to New England, from the United Kingdom to East Africa and back again. Now a staff photographer intern at The Elkhart Truth in northern Indiana, Ryan's time is spent not only revisiting the people and places he never explored while growing up, but curating the photographic memories of years gone by in search of what "home" really means. From moments of early morning calm to the drunken chaos of the Little 500, from county roads to abandoned quarries, "Back Home Again" showcases the experience of one curious mind in search of a definition of home in the Hoosier state.

Gallery Reception April 5, 2013 from 5-8pm Exhibiting April 5–May 31 The Beautiful and the Good. "Beautiful"—together with "graceful" and "pretty," or "sublime," "marvelous," "superb," and similar expressions—is an adjective that we often employ to indicate something that we like. In this sense, it seems that what is beautiful is the same as what is good. In fact, in most historical periods there was a close link between the Beautiful and the Good. –from History of Beauty by Umberto Eco Beauty does not always correspond to what we see superficially. Socrates was notoriously ugly, but was said to shine with an inner beauty, and Plato believed that the sight of the “senses” must be overcome by intellectual sight. In Jennifer’s portraits, she is seeking an ideal beauty through a synthesis of a pleasing physical body, and a spirit that is good. This synthesis expresses a Psychological Beauty that harmonizes body and soul. Each one illuminating the other.
