Pastoral Deluxe, Elin Lennox Simultaneously familiar and disorienting, Lennox’s large abstract photographs evoke the traditions of abstract painting, the aesthetics of microscopic imaging, and Hubble space images. Shot on film, they are printed digitally after minimal color adjustment.
RECALL, Ben Hernstrom & Frank Ferraro This is a site-specific, immersive audio/video installation that explores the issue of how digital technology influences our experiences and memories. It features projected video with original audio composition, including found sound, field recordings and ambient music. Hernstrom, a filmmaker, and Ferraro, a multi-disciplinary artist have collaborated on this project.
Shifting Panoramas, Elizabeth Mooney Using a combination of painting and kinetic sculpture, the work in this exhibition addresses the accelerated state of human relationships to the world around them. Mooney’s work questions how we experience and observe nature through a conceptual visual language, by using both static and moving scenic landscapes.
Inisiaqpunga and the waking, Thea Augustina Eck This installation, which includes photography and sculpture, evokes the lonesome wandering in search of ghosts from an 1845 Arctic Expedition. In the Inuktitut language, “inisiaqpunga” describes the act of following a lone trail left by an occasional traveler. Employing the language of nautical flags, the artist examines the power of symbols to create distance or intimacy.
The Inherent Pull, James R. Southard In a nine-photograph series, Southard recreates his own understanding and memory of film noir. In those wonderful environments of post-war cinema, filled with darkness and small hints of light, sets and scenes tap into a basic understanding of human fears.

The Pittsburgh Art Blog
pittsburgh galleries is reborn anew as The Pittsburgh Art Blog. the blog features selected pittsburgh artists and upcoming exhibits with photos from the artists and galleries. since the major press outlets do not go beyond a directory listing of exhibits, blogs are needed to promote pittsburgh artists and their work. the blog also calls attention to the inferiority complex of pittsburgh art and how it's perpetuated by the major players in town. Started on August 20, 2007.
pittsburgh area galleries and art venues are listed at the sister site www.PghGalleries.com.
the blog and website are volunteer projects from fine art photographer and pittsburgh art advocate rick byerly, www.RickByerly.com.
