Deborah Hosking at Chatham, an MFA Thesis video installation
Memento was conceived as a synthesis of Hudson River School and Chinese brush painting traditions and new media: Catskill landscapes meet Oriental scrolls meet digital video. The video imagery was shot entirely in one area and edited into short, montaged pieces, with compositions and a unique aspect ratio reminiscent of hanging scrolls. Each composition is created with imagery from neighboring locations or multiple views of the same location. Local geography provides the contextual framework and interactive map navigation. Memento is about a place, but it is also about time — a time past, time passing, time fleeting and time eternal.
Also showing will be MakeUp, a 10-minute, single channel video shot with the camera behind a two-way mirror. Every morning each of us looks into the mirror and makes choices about our appearance. What do these choices mean? What do they convey to others? MakeUp is about nature and artifice, image and self-image, perception and preconception.
Selected pieces from One Hand Clapping will also be on display. One Hand Clapping is an ongoing, internet-based photography series, as well as an open dialog with recipients of the images. The inclusion of their responses in the show is an homage to the tradition of Chinese calligraphers and poets commenting on paintings’ imagery as a part of the works themselves.

CMU Fine Arts to show on PNC Park Jumbtron April 15 2008, Warhol Museum
Carnegie Mellon University has found a massive canvas for their public art: the Jumbotron at PNC Park. The students and faculty present "Caught Looking," an exhibition of new, one-minute video artworks, to be shown on PNC Park's massive Jumbotron Tuesday, April 15 starting at 7 p.m. The Warhol museum is also presenting a video as well (which does not include the work of CMU students, which was clarified as of April 15 by CMU). The event is free and open to the public. The Warhol Museum will host an after party from 9 to 11 p.m. at the museum.
"PNC Park is a unique venue for video art. You don't typically expect to see art at the baseball stadium, but it's an amazing experience,"said Jill Kraus Visiting Assistant Professor of Art Christopher Sperandio. "As far as we know, no other art school in the country is using an 85''x 35'' high-definition screen as a venue for student and faculty art work."
Sperandio and his students have collaborated twice with Lamar Outdoor Advertising in placing students' Pittsburgh-centric public artwork on 11" by 24" billboards along Pittsburgh's roadways.
