Unblurred October 1, 2010 Don't Miss Harvest 2 and Unreal Spaces!

Normally I don't post for each month's Unblurred (first Fri of every month save Jan) but their website doesn't have two exhibits of importance: The Harvest 2 Art Exhibit which is at 5020 Penn Ave (at the oddly named Intl' Children's Art Gallery) which starts at 7pm and Unreal Spaces by Susan Constanse at Imagebox Gallery, 4933 Penn Ave, 7-10pm.

3 Rivers Arts Festival: The Art of Technology

Looks like a good start to shedding the 3 Rivers Food Festival hangover this festival has had for quite some time (that and the focus on many out of state market artists which still continues). You be the judge and check it aht for yourselves!

June 4-13 2010

The exhibits and performances may change the way we view art and technology, and help us to better realize the unlimited potential of each. Plus, they offer us some downright good times that are sure to benefit everyone’s Festival experience. Ranging from digital puppetry to interactive sculptures and robots, video installations, and an interactive exhibit requiring text messages from viewers. Following are a few glimpses into what you will see on the visual arts side; we’ll cover performances in another post.

David Edwards’ 14′ tall sculpture made from 80% recycled aluminum takes the shape of a potted sunflower. Its wind-powered spinning petals transform wind into energy using a micro wind turbine. In addition, there are flexible solar panels that collect energy for programmable LED lighting. This exhibit and others can be seen at Point State Park.

A Fair In The Park September 11, 12, 13 2009 Mellon

The Power Flower will be featured at A Fair In The Park September 11-13 2009

@ Mellon Park (right next to Pittsburgh Center for the Arts on Fifth Ave in Shadyside)

Friday: 1 PM - 7 PM
Saturday: 10 AM - 7 PM
Sunday: 10 AM - 5 PM

The Power Flower is a twelve-foot wind driven kinetic sculpture in the form of a potted sunflower. Sun and wind energy are collected with a wind turbine driven by spinning flower petals and photovoltaic solar film leaf surfaces. The flower provides power for public use. The sculpture also powers colored LED lighting for dynamic night illumination. A weatherproof controller maintains safe power levels and timed programmable lighting. This is housed within ample signage for graphics and mission statements. The sculpture is transportable and sets up easily for events and exhibitions.

David Edwards, founder of Art Energy Design explains, "The attention grabbing nature of large kinetic artworks is a great way to open a conversation about energy generation within the urban landscape."

CMU's the Frame Art Gallery Exhibit Schedule 2009

from blog creator rick byerly:

blog sponsor:

CMU's the Frame Art Gallery Exhibit Schedule 2009

The schedule is subject to change, please check the Frame’s website, http://www.cmu.edu/theframe, and SOA email announcements for updates.

Receptions run 7-10pm unless otherwise noted.

Carnegie Mellon U. 5200 Forbes Ave. Pittsburgh PA 15213

(at the corner of Forbes and Margaret Morrison)

The Frame is a non-profit, student-run art space. It is committed to showcasing the artistic work of Carnegie Mellon students and to promoting ambitious and experimental art within our community. Aladar Marberger first opened the Gallery in 1969 taking over what was once the Woodlawn Pharmacy, to provide exhibit space for university staff and students. Marberger ran the Gallery independently, without ties to any particular department. He selected all the work for the seven exhibitions each semester. Marberger was aided by three assistants, who received full tuition to Carnegie Mellon for their work. In 1976 the Gallery acquired the name the Forbes Street Gallery. In 1982 if became the Forbes Gallery and in 1998 it became the FRAME. The Frame has changed considerably throughout the years. It is now fiscally supported by JFC and the School of Art and remains entirely student-run. There are currently four students staffed each semester fulfilling the roles of 2 Directors, a Business Manager, and Public Relations Director.

Elan Gallery Sewickley Art Shows for 2009

from blog creator rick byerly:

Contact: Joan Barenbregge, 412-749-0427, art@elanarts.com

"Structure Meets Nature"

Sewickley, PA: January 09. Photographer, Mark Panza will exhibit his latest images at Élan Fine Art Gallery from January 9 through February 20, 2009. Reception Jan. 9 from 6-9 PM.

For Mark Panza the mystery of the human figure, the elements, flora, and modern architecture, are primal inspirations as he captures the world around him. Through the artful use of digital cameras and an Apple computer, he merges these elements into highly personalized imagery. As these separate components begin to converse, new relationships are revealed, and there is an alchemical reaction that Panza finds compelling.

Mark has owned and operated Panza Frame and Gallery in Millvale, PA for over two decades. Utilizing the vast framing materials at his disposal, Panza concocts novel ways of presenting his photos. He masterfully incorporates a panel system that adds a dynamic component to his compositions, leading the viewer’s eye slowly across the image’s surface. In addition, he employs reverse-angled degrees and levels, adding increased dimensionality to his work. These innovative methods become cues for the viewers interpretation.Panza exhibits throughout the Pittsburgh area and his work is in numerous collections nationwide.

Gist St Reading, Poet Miriam Levine Nov 7 2008

from blog creator rick byerly:

blog sponsor:

Fall is here. There's soup on the stove, a pumpkin on the front porch, and a sweater on the dog. It's time to take a break from looking at all those leaves and head on over to James Simon's Sculpture Studio on Friday, November 7th. We're featuring the amazing poet Miriam Levine and the fantastic fiction writer Ellen Litman.

Doors open at 7:15; readings begin at 8:00. It's $5. There's a raffle, where you might win books (which will also be for sale), eggs, a drawing by John Fleenor, or rumor has it there might be something "knitted."

BYOB. BYOB. Also, if you have any extra Halloween candy sitting around. We can certainly clean that up for you. Post-election celebratory enthusiasm?We'll take that as well.

That's 305 Gist Street, Uptown, 3rd floor. http://www.giststreet.org/ for bios and directions. Gist Street is also now a "group" on Facebook. If you know what that means, you know what to do.

Hope to see you there!

Sherrie
