Illustrations of Catastrophe: Tea and Absinthe,Saturday, March 8th, 2008 @ Mattress Factory

MATTRESS FACTORY TO HOST CURATOR, ARTIST DISCUSSION OF ILLUSTRATIONS OF CATASTROPHE AND REMOTE TIMES

Apocalyptic beverages – tea and absinthe – will be served

http://www.mattress.org/

PITTSBURGH, PA (February 22, 2008) – What will be your beverage of choice during the apocalypse? Tea or Absinthe? Both libations will be offered on Saturday, March 8th, during Illustrations of Catastrophe: Tea and Absinthe, a conversation with the curator and artists about the tenth installment in the Gestures Exhibition Series, currently on view at the Mattress Factory.

“The title and theme of the exhibition, illustrations of catastrophe and remote times, refers to a page from a larger collaborative essay, ‘The Domain of the Great Bear,’ written by the artists Robert Smithson and (Pittsburgh-native) Mel Bochner in 1966, describing an apocalyptic landscape in poetic and dramatic prose,” explains guest curator Heather Pesanti.

Ms. Pesanti, along with artists Fabrizio Gerbino, Rebecca Einhorn, Renee Ickes, Ben Kinsley, Christiane D. Leach, David Montano, John Rubin, Jairan Sadeghi, David Wettergreen and Brett Yasko, will be on hand to discuss the show, their respective pieces, the decisions made during the creative process, and any other topics posed by the audience and panel.

“The Mattress Factory is always attempting new ways to engage our visitors,” says Anna Fitzpatrick, Director of Education at the Mattress Factory. “We are very excited to provide this innovative event designed to encourage meaningful dialogue between artist, curator and visitor. The informal setting and unique spin will surely make for an educational, fun and memorable event.”

Illustrations of Catastrophe: Tea and Absinthe will take place on Saturday, March 8, at 2:00 PM in the museum’s lobby. A guided tour of illustrations of catastrophe and remote times will preceed the conversation at 1:00 PM. The event is FREE with paid museum admission.

Natural Distortions at La Vie Gallery in Lawrenceville 2 events, runs Feb 19 to March 22 2008

NATURAL DISTORTIONS

La Vie hosts show for the NCECA Invitational

3609 Butler St in Lawrenceville, Pittsburgh, PA 15201, 412-253-7365

February 20, 2008- Pittsburgh- La Vie welcomes “Natural Distortions”, curated by Merrie Wright and part of the 2008 National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts, a ceramics conference that will attract thousands of people to Pittsburgh. A soft opening, on February 29th will coincide with the monthly Final Fridays on Butler Street when local businesses in Lower Lawrenceville stay open late, offering drinks, food, music and discounts.

Mark Burleson, Kim Greene, Timothy VanBeke and Merrie Wright are ceramic artists from various parts of the country. Aesthetically delightful, their work examines organic forms and contemporary iconography. Greene’s ceramic balloons float about the space, while Wright’s whimsical animals are photographed in urban spaces, and the scientific beauty of Van Beke’s glossy ceramic panels charmingly challenge your concept of ceramic art.

La Vie will host a closing reception in for “Natural Distortions” on March 22, 2008, during the NCECA conference. The exhibition will be accessible at Stop 3 on the Strip District Bus Route on Wednesday from 9 a.m. – 6 p.m., Thu- Sat 11:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m., with a reception on March 22, from 7:00 – 11:00 p.m. Tickets for the shuttle cost $20 and will provide transportation between galleries.

La Vie consistently offers fine art by local artists in carefully selected shows every 45 to 60 days. Bronwyn Loughren and Thommy Conroy use the gallery as a studio, providing graphic design services, hand-made cards and invitations, floral arrangements and specialty event planning. The shop purveys prints, jewelry, pottery, sculpture and publications. La Vie exclusively carries hand-painted clothing by Mary Margaret Stewart of Iman B, formerly located on Ellsworth Street in Shadyside, as well as signature t-shirts by Ladyboy and Budai.

Elan Gallery, Changing Gears, New Work by Marjorie E. Arnett, April 5 to April 26 2008

“Changing Gears” New Work by Marjorie E. Arnett
Opens at Élan Fine Art Gallery, Sewickley, PA

Artist Reception Saturday April 5, 6 to 9 PM through April 26, 2008

Marjorie Arnett recently retired as Assistant Dean of the College of Fine Arts, Indiana University of Pennsylvania to work full time from her home studio in Leetsdale, PA. Arnett is an interdisciplinary artist, a published playwright and poet. Represented in private and corporate collections she has exhibited throughout the United States and Europe.

If there has been a pattern to Marjorie’s work and life over 40 years of painting, it has been one of Changing Gears, forcing styles to converge and cross pollinate onto the canvas.

In Arnett’s flower paintings one sees the interplay between natural forms and abstract semblances of these forms; from this the appearance of something altogether unexpected dawns.

Other new works are playful, color filled compositions, reflecting the silliness of Dr. Seuss meeting the soberness of Ayn Rand in the parlor for tea. The viewer is often asked to recognize part of oneself as a child in these playful color filled compositions.

The final group of paintings represents Changing Gears toward simplicity and a look toward the future. Large bold shapes speak of a straight forward energy through the placement of color, line and form.
