Pittsburgh Biennial 08Pittsburgh Filmmakers and Pittsburgh Center for the Arts announce the 2008 Biennial, an exhibit of contemporary art running May 3 – August 24, 2008. With the merger of PF and PCA providing expanded resources, the 2008 Biennial presents a continuum of visual arts from still to moving images, as disciplines converge. Encompassing both campuses of PF/PCA, the exhibit includes two new components – a cinema program and a series of art performances. An Opening Night reception will be held on Saturday, May 3, simultaneously at both locations in Pittsburgh’s East End, with a shuttle running between PCA in Shadyside and PF in North Oakland. The dual parties begin at PCA at 5:30pm, and end at PF with a robot dance party. The event includes food and spirits, along with DJs, live performance art, digital projections, music and more. It is open to the public; a $5 donation is requested; free to members. The Biennial exhibit, which began in 1994, continues to showcase Southwestern Pennsylvania artists. This Biennial, featuring more than 40 artists, coincides with the City of Pittsburgh’s 250th anniversary, and with the Carnegie International. In addition, PCA will have the first exhibit exchange with the Center for Emerging Visual Artists in Philadelphia during the Biennial. These concurrent events provide a regional and international context and exposure for Pittsburgh artists. More information about the 2008 Biennial, including pricing/pass information for special performance events, will be announced on the PF/PCA biennial website.
Artists announced for the 2008 Biennial include: Matthew Barton In addition, Encyclopedia Destructica is designing and producing the catalog. |
