Artist Hung Liu, Sundown of the Last Dynasty, at the Michael Berger Art Gallery, Pittsburgh PA South Side




Artist Hung Liu, Sundown of the Last Dynasty
Pittsburgh PA, South Side.

There's an amazing art exhibit there! Lithographs, etchings, ink on paper, tapestries, archival digital prints and more. And yes, digital prints can be archival despite what bizarre assumptions people hold, including the grinch who accosted me during Unblurred last Friday.

It opened December 5th, 2009. I'm not sure how long it runs but I'll check.

From the website:

Michael Berger Gallery is pleased to present its second solo exhibition by internationally known artist Hung Liu. The exhibition features mainly two new bodies of work: Jacquard tapestries and a series of prints, Music of the Great Earth Variations, each created in collaboration with Magnolia Editions, a fine art print studio in Oakland, California.

Hung Liu was born in Changchun, China in 1948. She attended Beijing Teachers College in 1975 and studied mural painting as a graduate student at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing. Hung Liu immigrated to the United States in 1984 to attend the University of California, San Diego, where she received her MFA.

She has exhibited work at San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the de Young Museum in San Francisco, and the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, Kansas City. Her works are part of the collections of the National Museum of American Art, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art and Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

November 7 & 8, 2008 Carnegie Mellon Campus, Pittsburgh, PA Society for Photographic Education Mid-Atlantic Regional Photo Conference

Technocracy: image production/distribution/consumption Techno-lust vs. Technophobia

In this age of postproduction, how do imagemakers and institutions respond to this shifting landscape, creating alternative models for exhibition and education? How do those involved in the making, exhibiting and selling of images respond to the eradication of the boundary between production and consumption? How does imaging technology (camera phones, webcams, photo and video blogs) affect our capacity as imagemakers to navigate through the cultural chaos extracting new forms of production a.k.a art? Or does the proliferation of technology yield a return to traditional modes of production?

Keynote Speaker Douglas Fogle, curator of The Carnegie International.

Panel Discussion with Rhizome, Eyebeam and Perpetual Art Machine moderated by Thomas Sokolowski, Director for the Andy Warhol Museum.

Alan Byrne and Rick Byerly's artwork at Monroeville Public Library July 5-25,2008

2 In Photoshop: Alan Byrne and Rick Byerly

July 5-25, 2008 at the Monroeville Public Library, Reception time for Saturday July 5th is 6 to 8 pm.

Alan Byrne's digital paintings were created from scratch in Photoshop and Rick Byerly's texture images from ice shelves were converted to black and white via Photoshop with contrast adjustments. In a time of digital confusion among purists et al this exhibit shows just how close one can come to creating a reality via Photoshop without any camera images in Alan Byrne's work. Rick Byerly's texture studies of ice reveal moments in time as the sun was constantly changing the patterns. He shot the images in color with a digital slr camera and used Photoshop to convert to black and white and adjust for contrast. The exhibit runs from July 5 through July 25. Hours and address are below.

Monroeville Public Library 4000 Gateway Campus Boulevard Monroeville, PA 15146 412-372-0500

Library Hours: Monday - Thursday: 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Friday - Saturday: 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Sunday: Closed (Memorial Day through Labor Day)
