Description:
"Downtown Pix" features over 300 photographs, videos, and printed materials from the acclaimed collections of Fales Library at New York University. Organized jointly by the Grey Art Gallery, NYU's fine arts museum, and Fales Library, NYU's rare book and manuscript collection, the show surveys New York's Downtown scene from the 1960s to the early '90s. The exhibition focuses on one of the period's dominant art forms-photography-which played a central and vital role in the Downtown scene. These immensely creative decades witnessed the emergence and flourishing of a distinctly Downtown attitude toward art and life. Curated by writer and photography historian Philip Gefter, the show features works by Nan Goldin, Robert Alexander, Jimmy DeSana, Fred W. McDarrah, David Wojnarowicz, and many others, as well as images from the archives of Creative Time, the Judson Memorial Church, and the papers of Richard Hell-all of which are housed at Fales.

Exhibition on view January 12-April 3, 2010.

Description:
This exhibit includes an extraordinarily wide variety of primary source material collected to support current and future research. Among the items on display are: a watercolor “portrait” of a railroad bridge built in Prague in 1850, original artwork by local artist Tom Pohrt for a children's book written by Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, a diary and photographs from a female UM student who hitchhiked from Ann Arbor to San Francisco in 1923, a Spanish text from 1693 for those studying to be soldiers, and Dante's Divine Comedy with illustrations by Salvador Dali.

New archival collections with samples on display include the papers of film director Robert Altman and writers Nicholas Delbanco and Richard Tillinghast, as well as four separate women involved in radical causes such as Clarence Darrow's 1907 defense of union leaders accused of murder and the ecological costs of technology. This is the first opportunity for the public to see materials from the Altman Collection, which is estimated to be 1,000 linear feet in size and is now being sorted and processed for use.

Description:
From 1933 to 1945, the Nazi regime led a campaign to eliminate those deemed “undesirable.” This spring, the HUB-Robeson Galleries will host a traveling exhibition from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, which will give patrons the chance to take a critical look at how careless science and distortion of the goals of medicine were used to legitimize persecution and genocide. “Deadly Medicine: Creating the Master Race” will motivate visitors to consider complex issues we face today, such as how culture and politics affect the conduct and application of science. It informs patrons on topics including ethics of medicine and public health, the promise and limitations of genetics, and the balance between the rights of the individual and the interests of the larger community.

Deadly Medicine: Creating the Master Race is organized and circulated by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. It has been made possible by The Lerner Foundation and Eric F. and Lore Ross. The exhibit is co-sponsored by the Office of the President, the Jewish Studies Program, the Rock Ethics Institute, the College of Medicine, and the Science, Technology and Society Program.

Robeson Gallery Hours are Tuesday- Thursday, noon to 6 p.m.; Friday- Sunday, noon- 4 p.m.; closed Monday. Admission is free.

The Vanderbilt University Department of Art Space 204 gallery is pleased to welcome a new exhibit by Noah Walcutt, recipient of the prestigious 2008 Margaret Stonewall Wooldridge Hamblet award and a Vanderbilt University alumnus.

The Tao of Cellocycling presents a multimedia exploration of a Buddhist concept called The Tao. The centerpiece to this musical installation is an experimental instrument Walcutt calls a Cellocycle. The act of pedaling the cranks on the Cellocycle continuously bows two standard size cellos. Adjusting a set of hand levers on the Cellocycle simultaneously controls the cellos' pitch and an interactive web application. The web application focuses on representing the artist's concept of The Tao.

Group show of new work by regional artists, including installations, photography, painting, and multimedia work.

Join us for the opening reception, Friday February 5, 2010

Pittsburgh Center for the Arts and Pittsburgh Filmmakers announce Cluster, a group exhibition of more than 20 Pittsburgh-area artists, curated by Adam Welch. It is on view February 5 – March 28, 2010. An opening reception will be held on Friday evening, February 5 from 5:30 to 8:00pm. It is open to the public; $5 requested donation; free to PF/PCA members. Beginning with this show, PCA will extend Thursday evening hours to 7:00 pm. The Dialogue Series continues on the second Thursday of each month, and the pavilion series will resume on Thursdays in the summer.

Cluster takes over all PCA's gallery spaces at the Shadyside campus and features invited artists who've investigated the spatial device of connections. These connections might be obvious, esoteric, direct, or juxtaposed, and elicit a fundamental element of artistic discourse. Welch says these artists are, 'working within their interests to profess what they know or do not know, for a purpose that is both self and collectively informing.'

The show offers a wide range of visual works in a variety of mediums from regional artists. Artworks with dissimilar processes and formations will be displayed around the building creating multiple levels of viewing experiences. Some of these are:

• A large-scale mixed-media installation by Jacob Ciocci titled, 'Frozen and Trapped Forever.' This piece employs HD video with painting, combining outtakes of TV/film, comics and self-drawn animations, rapidly cut and collaged together to create an overload of information.
• A site-specific installation by Jason Lee, which further extends his 'Euthenic Set Series,' made up of elements of safety-orange painted light boxes containing photographic imagery, wires, plastic ducks and picket fences arranged to present contemporary landscape as sanitized, congenially pristine and compartmentalized.
• Individual video works by Robert Ladislas Derr and Julie Perini, both of which investigate the relationship of history and social constructs through filmed performance acts.
• Interactive installations by Sean Derry and Amanda Long. Derry's piece, 'Rehearsing Spring,' combines monochromatic panels and heating elements, which hold a temperature close to natural body heat. Long’s work involves color and pattern with multi-channel projectors. When the viewer interacts with it, it takes on different special arrangements of color fields.
• Sculptural works by Dee Briggs, Will Giannotti, Kyle Houser and Anita Sulimanovic, all of which navigate the object as a process of expression.
• Painted/printed/drawn/cut works by Connie Cantor, Brian Brown, David Montano, and Nayda Collazo-Llorens.
• A series of black and white photographs by Jacob Koestler, and digital color photographs by Michael Sherwin.
