Pittsburgh Art Articles: The Art of Failure and Non-traditional Venues
There are two Pittsburgh Tribune Review art related articles worth checking out and the link to info on the documentary done on Chuck Connelly by Pittsburgh native Jeff Stimmel here.
"The Art of Failure, Chuck Connelly Not For Sale", written by William Loeffler
His name is Chuck Connelly. He may be the greatest Pittsburgh artist you never heard of.
Nearly six years in the making, Stimmel's film paints a portrait of a brilliant and charismatic artist who sabotaged a promising career through hubris, bad business decisions and a seemingly pathological inability to keep his big mouth shut.
....
and "Non-traditional venues can inspire art, or just great performances", written by Alice T Carter
Not all theater takes place in theaters.

Pittsburgh Center for the Arts Biennial Sat May 3, 2008
May 3, 2008 kicks off the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts Biennial which will hold events both at PCA and Pgh Filmmakers with vans for transport, the full schedule is here.
Also mentioned here, check out the Pittsburgh Primary Art Report
Curator Statements on the Biennial:
The current moment is always chaos. Only by looking ahead or behind do we find any order at all and very often, we find that order through art. And as each moment continues to evolve in this chaos, the concept of “what is art” evolves with it. We found that the artistic exchange, the sharing of a thoughtful experience with another person, was our compass in finding this group of powerful artists.
The 2008 Biennial reflects a moment of the Pittsburgh art scene in a wide array of mediums, themes and styles. As we searched through the abundance of talent in this region, we were impressed by what we found. Artists who embrace tradition in the context of now and master new technology for artistic expression, they offer us glimpses of what was, what is and what the future might be.
Laura Domencic and George Davis.
