Pittsburgh Artist Update, Ben Kehoe, Masha Vereshchenko

I suggest keeping an eye on Ben Kehoe's Flickr pages as he begins to show his post-medieval period of work which I can't wait to see! He mentioned that the flickr pages will be the most up to date (both agreeing websites are a pain to mantain, but be sure to check his out ).

You may have seen work by artist Masha Vereshchenko around town. Her links are here:
http://www.myspace.com/vereshchenkomasha
http://www.spraygraphic.com/ManageProfile/5312.html
I look forward to seeing more of her art!

When you see or hear the phrase "Wolfman's Got Nards" do you draw blank? Edumacate yourself and pick up an amazing handcrafted work of new monster illustrations and great writing from Unicorn Mountain as well as their other anthologies.

On a final note a late farewell to Jairan Sadeghi who has left Pittsburgh and to point out the Pittsburgh art galleries who really got her started in terms of showing her amazing talent to Pittsburgh. ModernFormations Gallery in Garfield and La Vie Gallery in Lawrenceville stand out in the talent they exhibit. These are galleries which need the support of art fans in terms of purchasing art to continue supporting new work. For those in the know running a Pittsburgh art gallery involves a ton of work and an uncertain future.

Music Tonight from Thus, Neil Feather, John Berndt 8pm-10:30 La Vie

THUS of Baltimore, MD
(THUS is the amazing invented instruments of Neil Feather with multi-instrumentalist John Berndt, founder of Baltimore's THE RED ROOM and the HIGH ZERO FESTIVAL of Experimental Improvised Music.)
with local freaked sound support from
JOHAN NYSTROM solo
BURNOUT WARCRY solo
FUCK TELECORPS Matt Wellins, Steve Boyle and Edgar Um Bucholtz plus special guests.
8pm to 10:30pm
all-ages

$5 to $10 (monies goto John and Neil.)

LA VIE 3609 Butler Street Pittsburgh, PA 15201

Sound Mechanic Neil Feather has been creating radical and unusual musical instruments for thirty years, and is increasingly known outside of Baltimore as one of the most original musical thinkers of his day. His instruments each embody uniquely clever acoustic and engineering principles, and are visually arresting. The music he plays on the instruments is equally original, embodying new principles and resulting in a nearly alien idiom of music. A founding member of THUS and THE OFFICIAL PROJECT, as well as the leader of AEROTRAIN, he has a long history of collaborative projects and solo concerts.

"Neil Feather is a pure aberration, no one could have guessed him. After the initial shock of his sensibility wears off, there is a deeper disturbance, as one realizes that his work really DOESN'T relate to something else you have seen or heard. It is deep individuality. Between the novelty and power of his innovations (his use of forced contrary motion, Doppler-shifts, and standing waves within instruments to name just a few) to the goofy darkness of his aesthetic, there is a strange hatch into a land of sublime, divine music that has no choice but to be itself. Neil Feather is a true genius." -- John Berndt

(NOTE: the venue for this previously announced show has changed. it will now take place at LA VIE gallery on 3609 Butler Street. )

La Vie Gallery's Ground Control and BE Galleries Fiber Arts Show

Ground Control at La Vie Gallery was well attended and it was clear people were engaged and responding to the show. Tommy Bones' work fit the theme perfectly with many colored moon-like square blocks whereby patrons seemed fixated on trying to determine what materials were used. Jairan Sadeghi's work always commands attention and her work in this show does not disappoint. Thommy Conroy's images on canvas are beautifully done and on the other end of the spectrum Renee Ruth Ickes' "Young Republican" and Gavin Kenyon's work depecting warcraft via iron axes and wooden craft swords via childhood bring the edge. All of the works there are significant so I suggest you make a trip to La Vie Gallery and check it out during their regular hours of Wednesday thru Saturday 12 – 6pm, Sunday 12 – 3pm and by appointment as well. 3609 Butler St Pittsburgh, PA in Lawrenceville 15201, website www.laviepittsburgh.com .
Ground Control runs until May 4, 2008.

I didn't know until I was at La Vie Saturday that the Fiberarts Guild of Pittsburgh has an exhibit at Be Galleries which is just across the street. I had about 10 minutes before they closed to check out the work so I can't do it justice but some work did stand out to me in that brief time including work from Anna Divinsky (and work from another by the last name of Divinski as well), David Watts, Kitty Spangler and Tina Brewer. Since it's a group show there are too many to name so check it out and see for yourself! Fiber Arts: Thread from Body to Soul at Borelli-Edwards Galleries, 3583 Butler Street, Lawrenceville Dates: Friday, April 4 until Saturday, April 26, 2008. Tuesday - Friday 11 - 6 / Saturday 11 - 5 .

Last Night's Unblurred and Tonight at La Vie Gallery and Union Project, Pittsburgh Art

Unblurred was well attended last night and with the rain kicking in it limited most peoples' desire to check everything out on Penn Ave. I checked out Modernformations Gallery, 4919 Penn Ave, and enjoyed the work at their spring salon where people vote their favorites (I have 2 large prints which are part of that). Modernformations was packed most of the night and I'm planning on going back during their regular hours to get a better look at all the work there. Gallery hours are Thursday 6-9 pm and Sat 1-4 pm and if the door is locked then just ring the buzzer.

I spent most of my time at Imagebox Gallery, 4933 Penn Ave, which is next door to Garfield Artworks, which is a place I always enjoy hanging out at during Unblurred. Imagebox is unique in many ways as far as Pittsburgh art galleries. People are always commenting on the design of the space, events are well attended, and the owner, John Mahood, does not charge artists a commission when work is sold which is unheard of in the gallery scene. John runs Imagebox Productions, website www.imagebox.com , which handles marketing, graphic design, and web design needs.

Shari Lynn Bennett has a solo show at Imagebox which consists of old family photos transferred onto canvas and then the scenes are painted in oils and pigment paints. The use of paints and transfers of photo onto canvas is a creative approach not to mention the stories of her family members in the photos. One of the images is of a boy who later on would find himself leaving Pearl Harbor the day before the bombing.

I ran into Artist Charles A. Smith, II and checked out a pamphlet of his which features limited custom prints of original paintings he's done. "Dancer at Rest #1" immediately caught my eye. His website is http://artistcharlessmith.com/ . He is an award winning artist who is a painter, designer, sculptor and muralist.

I also talked with fine art and documentary photographer Bill Wade who has an upcoming show at the Westmoreland Museum of American Art titled "Waterfall Spirits" which runs from Sunday June 29, 2008 to Sunday August 24, 2008. The Phone number for the museum is (724) 837-1500 . link here This exhibition features the work of the 2006 recipient of The Westmoreland Exhibition Award selected from the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh annual exhibition. This waterfall series offers the artist's view of the abstract qualities of water as it flows over rocks and precipices. According to the artist: "I hope to convey the inner experience of waterfalls," and in his dynamic black and white photographs, Wade does just that and more, capturing the drama and sound of the water as it moves through the natural world.

Tonight's Art Events:

Tonight Saturday, April 5, 2008
La Vie Gallery, Ground Control starts at 7 pm, in Lawrenceville 2609 Butler St. more info here http://pittsburghgalleries.blogspot.com/2008/03/ground-control-art-show-at-la-vie.html

Natural Distortions at La Vie Gallery in Lawrenceville 2 events, runs Feb 19 to March 22 2008

NATURAL DISTORTIONS

La Vie hosts show for the NCECA Invitational

3609 Butler St in Lawrenceville, Pittsburgh, PA 15201, 412-253-7365

February 20, 2008- Pittsburgh- La Vie welcomes “Natural Distortions”, curated by Merrie Wright and part of the 2008 National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts, a ceramics conference that will attract thousands of people to Pittsburgh. A soft opening, on February 29th will coincide with the monthly Final Fridays on Butler Street when local businesses in Lower Lawrenceville stay open late, offering drinks, food, music and discounts.

Mark Burleson, Kim Greene, Timothy VanBeke and Merrie Wright are ceramic artists from various parts of the country. Aesthetically delightful, their work examines organic forms and contemporary iconography. Greene’s ceramic balloons float about the space, while Wright’s whimsical animals are photographed in urban spaces, and the scientific beauty of Van Beke’s glossy ceramic panels charmingly challenge your concept of ceramic art.

La Vie will host a closing reception in for “Natural Distortions” on March 22, 2008, during the NCECA conference. The exhibition will be accessible at Stop 3 on the Strip District Bus Route on Wednesday from 9 a.m. – 6 p.m., Thu- Sat 11:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m., with a reception on March 22, from 7:00 – 11:00 p.m. Tickets for the shuttle cost $20 and will provide transportation between galleries.

La Vie consistently offers fine art by local artists in carefully selected shows every 45 to 60 days. Bronwyn Loughren and Thommy Conroy use the gallery as a studio, providing graphic design services, hand-made cards and invitations, floral arrangements and specialty event planning. The shop purveys prints, jewelry, pottery, sculpture and publications. La Vie exclusively carries hand-painted clothing by Mary Margaret Stewart of Iman B, formerly located on Ellsworth Street in Shadyside, as well as signature t-shirts by Ladyboy and Budai. La Vie is open Wednesday thru Saturday 12 – 6, Sunday 12 – 3 and conveniently by appointment.

Current and past shows as well as everything featured at La Vie can be seen at http://www.laviepittsburgh.com/.
