On Friday January 22, 2010, 9pm, fast>>fwd Gallery will be hosting an Art
Market party. This will be open to anyone who would like to hang their
2D works up and make a sale. All mediums and medias will be accepted
as long as they can be hung on a wall and do not weight too much.
This will be a one night only event starting at 9pm and lasting into
the night. We will be providing alcohol and refreshments but we are
asking all artists to make a small contribution ($10-20) to help with
the drinks and operation costs, however you will get to keep %100 of
your sales. There will be a $5 all you can drink cover charge for all
other guests. We are encouraging everyone to bring smaller pieces that
are priced lower to sale. We are planning on filling the entire space
with artwork so there is no limit to the number of pieces, but all
pieces may not get hung. All pieces must be ready to hang with frames
and wire with your own labels with your name, title, and price. Pieces
are to be dropped off between January 10th and 21st. This event will
be 21 and over only, no exceptions, and will feature a music
performance by Coyotes, By the Way. To schedule a drop off time please
contact us in advance to set up a time.

ARTIST BENEDICT ODDI PRESENTS “THEATER OF THE MIND”
at LUKE & ELOY GALLERY
Pittsburgh, PA – Artist Benedict Oddi invites us into his “Theater of the Mind” with a show of neo-surrealist oil paintings, wood assemblage, and graphite drawings at Luke& Eloy Gallery, 5169 Butler Street in Lawrenceville. “Theater of the Mind’ is a multi-faceted vision of the artist’s parallel psychological universe – its landscapes, dreamscapes, traps and escapes. The exhibit runs from January 17 to February 21, 2009. Opening Reception is Saturday, January 17, 2009 from 11am to 3pm. Regular gallery hours are Tuesday through Friday 11am to 2pm, Saturdays 11am to 5pm. For more information visit http://www.lukeandeloy.ning.com/ or call 412-784-1919.
Using oil paint on panel, wood assemblage, and graphite on paper, Oddi’s “Theater of the Mind” intertwines images, shapes and moods from one medium to the other. He pursues themes of confinement, hope, anxiety and symbolism, all felt from the stretched perspective of another human dimension. The royal jewel-tones in Oddi’s paintings balance with the raw wood of assemblage, and cool grays of graphite on paper. Some of Oddi’s work emerges from his own imagination, while literary works inspire some of his other expressions. “My work evokes a feeling of uneasiness through improbability. Your imaginary voyage should feel familiar and sublime, filled with imminent danger,” says Oddi.
Oddi holds a BFA in Painting from Edinboro University (PA) and will complete his MFA at Indiana University of Pennsylvania in the Spring of 2009. Virtual galleries of Oddi’s art can be viewed at his website http://www.benoddi.com/. “Theater of the Mind” is his first one-man show.Luke & Eloy Gallery features regular exhibits of fine art and craft, including painting, sculpture, and other media. Specializing in fine art jewelry, Luke & Eloy presents work by noted designers of art jewelry, including Gallery Director Brigitte Martin who is a goldsmith and fine art jeweler.

January 9, 2009
8:00 pm
HiTEC (Histrionic Thought Experiment Cooperative) is an independent experimental orchestra founded in July of 2008 as an attempt to create a Low Classical alternative to those who worship at the temple of the fictitious and propagandistic "Golden Age" that's often used to justify the "Divine Rights" of cash-flow.
Unlike most (M)USICAL projects, the playing of this group revolves around THINKING about particular things while playing in a very open-ended way RATHER THAN necessarily playing specified physical actions.
HiTEC, Histrionic Thought Experiment Cooperative is an independent orchestra of 22 people founded by tENTATIVELY, a cONVENIENCE. It turns classic Thought Experiments such as the "Infinite Monkey Theorem" into sound waves before the very eyes & ears of its (v)audience.

Johan Nystrom: expanded percussion
Hyla Willis: erhu
Ben Harris: violin

Justice Illuminated: The Art of Arthur Szyk January March 2009
...
An exciting art exhibition opening this winter!
Carnegie Mellon University will host the traveling exhibit "Justice Illuminated: The Art of Arthur Szyk" at its Posner Center from January 7, 2009, through March 28, 2009.
This is the only regional stop for the exhibit organized by The Arthur Szyk Society. It is free and open to the public from 1 to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. Other times are available by appointment.
Szyk was a Polish born American artist famous for the anti-Axis World War II illustrations, caricatures and cartoons that appeared in Time, Esquire and Collier's magazines, among many others. But Szyk's subjects were as diverse as his uniquely combined styles of renaissance illumination and political caricature. The New York Times called his illustrated Haggadah of Pesach "worthy to be placed among the most beautiful books that the hand of man has ever produced." He also created advertising art for companies such as U.S. Steel and Coca Cola.
"Justice Illuminated," which can be viewed online at www.szyk.org/syzkonline/, includes many of the pieces that made Szyk famous, including a copy of an illuminated manuscript of the Declaration of Independence and items from a series about George Washington and the American Revolution. Scenes of Jewish life and Jewish religion, painted in illumination, as well as many wartime magazine and newspaper illustrations are part of the exhibit.
In conjunction with the exhibit, Carnegie Mellon will display books illustrated by Szyk from its Posner Collection, including the "Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam" and the Haggadah.
"University Libraries are extremely pleased to be able to bring this historic, aesthetic and instructive exhibit to Pittsburgh and the region. We hope that people of all ages will be able to take advantage of this opportunity to see Szyk's work and to remember both his use of art to glorify religious and poetic works and to fight against the forces of oppression," said Gloriana St. Clair, dean of University Libraries.
Sponsors of the exhibit include the Posner Fine Arts Foundation and the Carnegie Mellon University Libraries. For more information, please contact Teresa Thomas at ts2h@andrew.cmu.edu or 412-268-2900.
