thanks for the heads up go to friend Jim Storch:
Just wanted to let you know that I'm participating in the Fantastic Voyagers 2 Festival this weekend at ModernFormations gallery. Curated by Mike Tamburo, this festival has a mind-boggling array of performers spread out over Saturday and Sunday. I'll be performing at 7:00 PM on Sunday. Here's a link to more information:
http://www.pittsburghcitypaper.ws/gyrobase/Content?oid=oid%3A55642
Local experimental musician Mike Tamburo -- known for his work with Arco Flute Foundation; his solo guitar, dulcimer and electronic music; and his label, New American Folk Hero -- has been known to spend months out of the year touring. His latest venture, though, is kind of like a tour in reverse: Instead of exporting Tamburo from Pittsburgh, he's bringing folks he's met while on the road into town for his second annual Fantastic Voyagers festival, a two-day event taking place this weekend at ModernFormations Gallery.
ModernFormations Gallery and Performance Space
Address 4919 Penn Avenue Pittsburgh 15224

The Framery was a concept created in San Francisco almost 15 years ago by owner/artist, Debra Bongiovanni and framer/manager, Susan Carver. It is one of a handful of modern-day artisans who continue the art of custom framing completely by hand. After relocating to Pittsburgh many years ago, they opened up their shop/gallery in the Lawrenceville section of Pittsburgh.

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.

Élan Fine Art Gallery will feature an exhibit of pastel and charcoal drawings on paper by the late regional artist, Michael J. Changnon from Nov. 7 to Dec. 30, 2008. Opening reception Nov. 7 from 6 – 9 pm.
“Shine: Drawings by Michael Changnon,” will display approximately 15 original pastel drawings produced from 1986 to 2000. It includes a seven and a half- foot drawing entitled “Tulips” which hung in the Andy Warhol Museum after Changnon’s passing as part of the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh Annual Show. Other drawings include “Cowboy,” Shine,” Three Suns,” “Dawn,” “Fire Truck,” “ Faces,” “Genesis” and more. Well known for his colorful and witty pastel drawings and integral titles, Changnon’s work continues to delight art audiences.
As far back as 1970, Ruth Drescher reviewed his show at the Undercroft Gallery and likened Changnon’s work to Joan Miro, saying “they have something very much in common: the capacity to give joy and mirth.”
“I would rank him as one of the major artists of this region,” said Harry Schwalb, former art critic for the Post-Gazette and contributing editor of ARTnews, “ his work is sophisticated, witty, compassionate, fully contemporary, and distinctively his. This is no mean feat: to have evolved a style that is uniquely one’s own. Michael Changnon has done this.”
Michael Changnon (1943-2002), was a founding member of the Slippery Rock University Art Department and was a faculty member there for 34 years, where he taught photography, painting and drawing. He received his Bachelor’s and Masters of Fine Arts degrees from Ohio University in Athens, Ohio.
He served on the Board of the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh and began exhibiting with the group in 1970.
Changnon’s exhibits in the Pittsburgh area included one-man shows at the Westmoreland Museum of Art, The Pittsburgh Center for the Arts, The Undercroft Gallery, Zenith Gallery, Metropol, St. Vincent’s College and Carson Street Gallery. Thirty-eight years ago, Changnon had a successful show at the Bird in Hand Gallery in Sewickley at the same Élan Gallery location.
Throughout his career, Changnon’s drawings were included in many national juried shows and have received numerous awards. His work was represented by Neo Persona Gallery in New York; the Christopher/ John Gallery in Santa Monica, California; ArtForms Gallery in Sarasota, Florida, as well as the Zenith and Carson Street Galleries in Pittsburgh. He exhibited and judged at the Three Rivers Art Festival and area group exhibitions, and taught and judged photography at the Pennsylvania Governor’s School for Fine Arts from 1994-1998.
