The Warhol welcomes Times New Viking from Columbus, OH, on their way to perform at the Celebrate Brooklyn festival in Prospect Park, as part of a summer tour supporting their new record Dancer Equired on Merge Records. This young trio of art school graduates (Beth Murphy on keyboards/vocals, Adam Elliott on drums/vocals, and Jared Phillips on guitar) has developed a lo-fi, gritty yet ultra-melodic sound which has drawn comparisons to highly influential indie rock bands such as Guided By Voices, Young Marble Giants and the Shaggs.

The Gallery 4 presents "Wunderball" *New works by Anthony Purcell

The Gallery 4 presents
"Wunderball" *New works by Anthony Purcell


Wunderball" *opens Saturday, June 4, 2011 and runs through Saturday, June
25, 2011 at the Gallery4 (206 S. Highland Ave., Shadyside, 412-363-5050).


The opening reception will take place Saturday, June 4, 2011 from
7-11PM* and be open to the general public with complimentary refreshments and hors
d'oeuvres provided by The Gallery 4.

The Gallery 4 is open Tuesday through Saturday 1- 8PM .

After a very successful premiere last September, The Gallery 4 is proud to welcome back Anthony Purcell. Purcell is a remarkable talent emerging from the consistently talented Pittsburgh art scene. With "Wunderball," Purcell explores ideas of symmetry, balance, and reflection as symbolic vessels for spiritual and intellectual expansion of the mind. The search, discovery, and practice of the golden ideal is rendered beautifully with the aid of Purcell's thoughtful brushstrokes and keen use of light and shadow. "Wunderball" is certain to give the viewer another delicious bite of what Anthony is best known for: delicate use of pattern, precise detail, and a mastery of form and figure. And, as with each new piece, a new way of looking at the big picture.

Make Yourself At Home by Laura Marsico, Unsmoke Systems

Come out to Braddock for an exhibition opening at Unsmoke Systems!

Make Yourself At Home by Laura Marsico
Unsmoke Systems, 1137 Braddock Ave, Braddock PA 15104

Opening: Saturday, June 4, 6-9 pm
Exhibition continues through June 18 by appointment only

Friends, family and neighbors. Housewarming gifts are welcome!

A home is a formative place where we grow within its structure; it may also be a transformative place for healing to occur.

Since returning to Pennsylvania last year and spending time in the home I grew up in, I have done a whole lot of housecleaning. It always begins by looking inside and outside of personal space, by noticing what changes and what doesn¹t change, and finally, by determining what to share and what to hold onto. The clearing out has been continuous and widespread, and not always by myself; at times it has been simultaneously heart-wrenching and liberating, and I have heard great stories while moving through objects. Although movement sometimes entails pain, I have found that the experience ultimately inspires clarity and joy.

The happening will be dotted with (primarily) repurposed throwaways. As I attempt to lessen the load of stuff in my surroundings, certain things continue to hang around with mysterious value dangling over them. They speak of fantasy, memory and functional use in ways that are unique and arbitrary. What happens with these objects and thoughts are curious and inspiring, like the windowsill decorations and garbage in the alley ways of Pittsburgh. Through observation and activity in the space that Make yourself at home encompasses, you are encouraged to examine what is it that allows you to feel connected and be at home.
