Phone Books and Wine Corks, David Grim and Dave English at Zombo Gallery...

Below find the press release for the December 13, 2008 exhibit at Zombo Gallery featuring artists David Grim and Dave English. I know Dave Grim and respect his passion for creating as well as collecting artwork and his volunteer role on the Sprout Fund's Public Art Advisory Board.

Don't miss the one-time reception from 6-10:30pm on Saturday December 13, 2008. December 13, 2008. “Phone Books and Wine Corks” at Zombo Gallery. 4900 Hatfield St, Pittsburgh, PA 15201 in Lawrenceville.

Drawings by David Grim and Found Object Figures by Dave English. Please join us at Zombo Gallery for a reception between 6PM and 10:30PM on Saturday, December 13th, featuring the artwork of David Grim and Dave English. The single-day exhibition is inspired by the hardboiled realities of urban anomie. We are creators working along the fringes of the fine art world, concerned more with exploring the mysteries of the alleys and abandoned industrial buildings than flirting with formalist aesthetic conceptualists. Our materials were picked up during moments of sodden personal reflection, and our work expresses the conditions that surround us. Tip back the spirit of your choice, and then come help us find the bottom of it all.

Dave English is a puppeteer and found object artist from Pittsburgh, PA. He frequently works in recycled materials because they are low cost and plentiful. The wine cork figurines stem from his time as a bartender. The characters he creates are all individually unique. They act as wine rack decorations, voodoo dolls, pincushions, a home for mismatched or lost jewelry, and odd gifts.

David Grim is an artist focusing mainly on photography, drawing and collage. Born in Allentown, PA, he moved to the western part of the state to attend the University of Pittsburgh after graduating high school in 1988. He has since embraced the region, and has had solo exhibitions at the Digging Pitt, The Clay Penn, and Pittsburgh Filmmakers. He has been featured in numerous group shows at diverse venues including La Vie Gallery, 707 Penn, Panza Gallery, Fe Gallery, and Agni Gallery (NYC). Please direct inquiries to: grimone1(AT)verizon.net Or (412) 904-3703

North Side Mural titled "Welcome to Deutschtown." by Pittsburgh Artist David Edwards

A great Pittsburgh mural finished in 2007 in which I didn't know the story on so I wanted to post the information I found when coming across information from the artist David Edwards and other sources:

Info gathered from a Pittsburgh Dish blog here , from Pittsblog here and David Edward's press release in full from one of his myspace blogs here . Considering those were the only results I could find in the first few pages of Google I'd say it was less than covered, if at all, in the mainstream media. David's website is http://www.davidedwardsart.com/ .

The Pittsburgh Dish blog , which also has photos, states: The mural, part of the North Shore Glass Mural Project in conjuction with the Children’s Museum, is located on the corner of East Ohio and Cedar in Deutschtown on the North Side. The North Side Leadership Conference coordinated the funding along with the Elm Street Community, URA and others.

And the press release from David Edwards myspace :

Northside Mural public art information.
Below is a press release that answers questions often asked about the mural that I created last year. Better late than never.
There will be a dedication ceremony for the new "Welcome to Deutschtown" mural designed and created by Pittsburgh-based artist David Lee Edwards on Wednesday, June 20, 2007, in the Allegheny Park adjacent to the mural.
This mural is painted onto the exterior brick surface of the Park House located at the intersection of Cedar Avenue and East Ohio Street. The mural project was coordinated by the Northside Leadership Conference and sponsored by the Urban Redevelopment Authority of Pittsburgh, the Pittsburgh Partnership for Neighborhood Development, the Elm Street Community, and the East Allegheny Community Conference.
The mural is designed as a visually compelling artwork to serve as a celebratory gateway for the Historic Deutschtown neighborhood. This design honors the architecture and historic identity of the Northside community while paying tribute to the communities' significant contributions to cultural life. As "Pittsburgh Celebrates Glass" in 2007 the mural fittingly exalts the artistry and craftsmanship of Pittsburgh's architectural glassworks.
The immediate intent of the mural is to capture the public attention and hold it, first by the awe of an encounter with a brilliantly backlit stained glass window, then generating curiosity in the details of the design. Recalling the wonder of seeing a stained glass window in sunlight for the first time is key to the vicarious success of the project. To this end the viewer is engaged by a painting of a towering clerestory facade tempered by a calming and familiar church-like theme.
Nine crests featured within the windows are a proud reminder of the towns of origin for the early inhabitants of Historic Deutschtown. The mural memorializes cherished old world values such as hometown pride, orderliness, spirituality and attention to detail. The symmetry of the work respects the historic cultural affinity for managing complexity with coherence and order. A balance is then struck between the geometric order of the piece and it's relevance to the past. A silhouette of a musician playing a piano by candlelight adds a whimsical touch and draws the viewer's attention through the glass into the interior of the building itself. The piano playing maestro, dressed in period clothing, pays homage to the ongoing importance of music and entertainment in the cultural life of the neighborhood.
"My public art projects grow from a responsibility to the audience. This is the public in the art." D.L. Edwards
