Video Artworks by School of Art Students Shown on Jumbotron at PNC Park, April 15

EDITORS NOTE: This looks like an awesome event. More info is available at www.CaughtLooking.info

PITTSBURGH – Students and faculty in the School of Art at Carnegie Mellon University have 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 lengthier, 15- to 30-minute video. 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, where the videos will be shown for a month.

“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.” Continue reading →

The Distillery Program at the Brew House Association is an exciting new program that acts as a stepping-stone for participants as they move towards new phases of artistic production and career development. This pilot program addresses the current need for relevant career/professional development opportunities related to the arts as well as exhibition opportunities, and support for working artists by providing individuals with a supportive and dynamic arena in which to pursue studio practice, career development, and an exhibition opportunity in the SPACE 101 gallery during the 2007-2008 season.

Over the course of the six-month program, participants will engage in a series of workshops and dialogues on topics relevant to career opportunities in the arts with Pittsburgh art professionals at the Brew House. Participants meet regularly for studio visits and peer critiques, discussions with guest curators, critics, and other working artists. The culmination of these sessions will be a group exhibition of newly produced work by the participants at Brew House Space 101 Gallery.
