Friday December 5 2008

Unblurred art crawl happens the first Friday of every month (Jan. may be an exception) on Penn Ave in Garfield, Friendship, East Liberty etc.

The schedule is always here.

Of particular note are:

7PM-10PM MODERNFORMATIONS GALLERY & PERFORMANCE SPACE - 4919 PENN AVE.KATHRYN COLE: BITS AND PIECES OF A PLACE 2008 This exhibit features the work of the 2008 Grand Prize Winner of Modernformations Annual Spring Salon, Kathryn Cole. It is an investigation into the qualities of the city Kathryn has been calling home for the last year. The work will be a collection of found objects and materials re-assembled into her impressions of this new place. Trained as a metalsmith and jeweler at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, VA, she is attracted to the unique qualities of the “Steel City”, a rugged beaten sort of beauty. Kathryn says: I spend hours roaming the streets looking for little metal cast-offs and bits to be reincarnated in my impressions of the city. As a metal smith, I feel a unique bond to this “Steel City”. Each little metal scrap I find seems to have so much more importance because of where I have found it. Whether is it a crushed can or a part fallen off a truck, all of these bits are part of what Pittsburgh is. Perhaps using parts of this city will help me define it…www.modernformations.com 412-362-0274.

and

7PM-10PM THE CLAY PENN - 5111 PENN AVE. ANNUAL HOLIDAY EXTRAVAGANZA Exhibition featuring a variety of local and national artists. Please join us for wonderful art, gift ideas and holiday cheer. For more information please contact 412 951-6133, ljmclay@hotmail.com or laurajeanmclaughlin.com.

Meditation Relates to Physics = Art
New works by Teresa M. Harris

Teresa incorporates visions of science, holistic living, meditation, and dreams to inform her 2 dimensional works.
Teresa writes about her process: "My art process is an attempt to convey time, space, mass, energy, and light: Our perception of length, width, height, time and other planar dimensions after time. Each piece is layered to represent meditation, visions of memory, and the present moment." She explores the creation of the human body from stars that died billions of years ago.

Through September 27th

Modernformations Gallery: Signs of Survival August 1,2008

Modernformations Gallery and Performance Space Presents
"SIGNS OF SURVIVAL: THE ART OF LIVING AFTER TRAUMA"
Opening Reception
Friday August 1, 2008
7 to 10pm

Most of us have been affected by trauma personally or through the experience of a loved one, friend or coworker. We survive terrorism, abusive family environments, poverty, rape, environmental decay, military service inactive war zones, extreme health challenges, child abuse, and many other traumatic experiences.

This exhibit honors our survival, our journey after the trauma has occurred, and our inherent worth and dignity. It asks: How do we as individuals, family units, and communities survive traumatic events? How do we process our experience of trauma? How do we heal and build thriving relationships and lives after trauma?

Trauma survival has the power to unify us and provide common ground for communicating, healing, and planning our future. Come and join the dialogue with many artists who answer these questions in unique and powerful ways.

Experience their healing processes and lives after surviving traumatic events.

Exhibit runs to Saturday, August 30th. Closing reception from 1-4pm
ModernFormations Gallery and Performance Space 4919 Penn Avenue, Pittsburgh PA. 15224 412-362-0274 www.modernformations.com Gallery hours: Thursday 6-9pm, Saturday 1-4pm, by appointment...

Unblurred Pittsburgh Art Crawl: New Link

If you've never been to the Unblurred Gallery Crawl along Penn Ave in Garfield (Bloomfield and East Liberty as well) you're missing out on a major part of the Pittsburgh art scene. It happens the first Friday of every month (except January) and most venues open up at 7pm.

Don't know where to start? Pick any gallery or venue from the list below and pick up a program which has a map. But really all you have to do is just walk down Penn Ave in Garfield and see all the people coming in and out of venues. Each venue has refreshments and snacks and a lot of art to check out and buy. Remember that Unblurred continues to exist because those who are passionate about art buy what strikes them.

Whatever the month is you can check this link for a schedule: http://friendship-pgh.org/paai/unblurred/
