Spotlight On....RILEY HARMON
One of the local artists currently involved in "Getting Closer", we take a closer look at Riley Harmon and his body of work....
My creative activity originated in theatrical performance, visual
effects, and film. In my current work I seek to reverse-engineer
social and personal narratives through discrete objects,
installations, and electronic happenings. I am particularly interested
in the blurring of physical and virtual experiences, concepts of
authenticity, thresholds, and détournement. I often take on the role
of a researcher, and my output becomes a synthesis of the research
performed and experimentation with materials and ideas. Just as
western psychologist George Kelly metaphorically examines the
individual person as an experimenter, or scientist, V.F. Cordova,
Native American philosopher, also makes the same relationship, placing
an artist in the role of a scientist seeking to gain new
understandings and consciousness of the world around them. Cordova
writes, “the artist, like the scientist, is a seeker of knowledge. He
examines the world and portrays what he has learned in order to share
that knowledge with his community.”
Recent international exhibitions include Amsterdam, Vienna, Dublin, Portugal,
US, and the UK. Harmon has been published in a number of international publications, including Rolling Stone Italy, he has been a part of the permanent collection of the Fred
Jones Jr. Museum of Art, and has broadcast video works throughout the
United States and the Internet. Harmon has earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in
Media Arts with Distinction from the University of Oklahoma and is
currently at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh pursuing an
interdisciplinary MFA.

Our mission is to propel Pittsburgh into the heart of the national art community by providing exhibition opportunities to emerging and mid-career artists. Our goal is three-fold: to increase the visibility of regional artists; to enhance the art community by showcasing regional artwork along with bringing national and international artists' work to Pittsburgh; and to better serve Allegheny County by linking under-served non-art related populations with local artists to develop community based art programs which revolve around a visual art exhibition that promotes awareness through symposiums, poetry readings, workshops and performance art..address~ 4102 Butler St. Pgh PA 15201

The Pittsburgh Art BlogThe Pittsburgh Art 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 artist advocate rick byerly.
