The Ernestine M. Raclin School of the Arts at IU South Bend presents the “Tuck Langland Retrospective: From Art Student to Young Art Professor to Professional Sculptor” exhibition.

The Tuck Langland Retrospective opens on Monday, June 6 and runs through Saturday, July 23 in the Art Gallery of the Education and Arts Building. An opening reception will be from 4:30 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, June 9 with Professor Emeritus Langland giving a gallery talk at 6 p.m.

This exhibition will include works representing all stages of Langland’s artistic life, and a selection of Langland’s work will be available for purchase. Works on display will harken back to his student years at the University of Minnesota, through his faculty career—which includes positions at the Carlisle College of Art (England), Sheffield College of Art (England), Murray State University (Kentucky), and Indiana University South Bend (1971-2003) — and beyond.

The Tuck Langland Retrospective will highlight the development of Langland as a sculptor with artwork in wood, stone, bronze, resin and other materials. Gallery guests will be able to view alien beings, bone china, Egyptian and Greek studies, portraits and imagined heads, torsos, and medals with subject matter including but not limited to dancers, swimmers, musicians, aliens, sports figures, people from history, and landscape reliefs. Some of these works have never been available for public consumption.

Langland’s large public artworks will be represented in the exhibition through photographs and design models. Additionally, a collection of small-sculpted heads will be on display in the Franklin D. Schurz Library. These two locations add to the varied selection of Langland’s installed work on the IU South Bend campus.

The Art Gallery is open noon to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and is located at 1002 South Esther St., South Bend.

Admission is free of charge. For additional information please visit arts.iusb.edu.
