Justseeds Artists’ Cooperative is a decentralized network of 26 artists committed to making print and design work that reflects a radical social, environmental, and political stance. With members working from the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, Justseeds operates both as a unified collaboration of similarly minded printmakers and as a loose collection of creative individuals with unique viewpoints and working methods. We believe in the transformative power of personal expression in concert with collective action. To this end, we produce collective portfolios, contribute graphics to grassroots struggles for justice, work collaboratively both in- and outside the co-op, build large sculptural installations in galleries, and wheatpaste on the streets – all while offering each other daily support as allies and friends.

Shaw Galleries: Beauty, Strength, Reflection Art Exhibit April 1-30 2011 Pgh PA

PITTSBURGH, PA, 3/3/10 – Shaw Galleries is pleased to announce the opening on Friday, April 1, 2011 of "BEAUTY - STRENGTH - REFLECTION: Five Perspectives on the Female Form," an exhibit featuring five women artists from Pittsburgh in a remarkable Spring show of fine art paintings. The exhibition runs through Saturday, April 30. PLEASE NOTE NEW GALLERY HOURS are 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays.

Within their chosen medium, these five women share their perspectives on feminine form and style.

Each artist has contributed individual works on paper and canvas, as well as a five-piece collaborative piece titled "Dressing Matters" that serves as a focal point of the show.

The opening is Friday, April 1 from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m.

IDLE: A solo exhibition by Colin Noonan, Pittsburgh PA

IDLE: A solo exhibition by Colin Noonan

Opening March 4 Friday 6pm

March 4-April 3, 2011 - 709 Penn Gallery

Many of life’s every day moments of contemplation take place in an automobile. It’s a private, contained space where one can tap into a range of emotions. Pittsburgh fine artist and car enthusiast Colin Noonan’s collection of classically-inspired paintings drives viewers inward, revealing subtle nuances in color and form inspired by human introspection and expression.

Idle, Colin Noonan’s solo-exhibit of oil portraits on linen, canvas and plywood are purposefully cropped to depict sitters from the torso up. The still lives are further accentuated with tools and equipment from the German Motor Werks Garage, such as an oil pump, and a parts washer. Noonan works with an earth palette consisting of dark umbers and yellowish ochers for more dimly lit subjects. Many of the subjects in his paintings are lit from a lone light source reminiscent of baroque realism.

Idle refers to the state of the portrait subjects. They are not working or producing, but at a stand-still, detached from the narrative of time. The exhibition title also refers to a car being idle, relating to Noonan’s fascination with cars and the studio where he creates his art – the German Motor Werks Garage. These meticulous paintings are created layer by layer in oil, a slow process rooted in classical painting techniques. “I want to create a tangible presence through these people in their environment,” explains Noonan. “In a sense, they are portraits of the people they depict – not so much a narrative as a state of being, an idleness that sets the subjects apart from their environment. This idleness frees them of doing anything and allows them to think anything.”

About Colin Noonan:
Colin Noonan earned a BFA degree in Painting from Brooklyn’s Pratt Institute and he studied indigenous and contemporary art at Southern Cross University in Australia. Upon returning to the States, Noonan studied still life with instructor Chris Wright. The classical influence would serve as a starting point for much of his still life paintings. A mechanic’s apprenticeship in 2003 put his art career temporarily on hold. Though Noonan’s career as a mechanic was short lived, a car garage in Pittsburgh’s Strip District continues to serves as both his studio and muse.

Paul Thek: Diver, A Retrospective CMOA Heinz Galleries, Pittsburgh PA

Paul Thek: Diver, A Retrospective

February 5–May 1, 2011
Heinz Galleries

Paul Thek: Diver, A Retrospective is the first major museum exhibition in the United States to review the career of this groundbreaking American artist. Thek’s best-known work is unique in form and unusual in its concerns, yet he found common ground with other artists of his generation and gave voice to powerful social and philosophical currents in the broader culture of the 1960s and 1970s. His art could be simultaneously intensely spiritual and insistently profane, lyrical and base. At a time when artists were known for their signature styles, he refused that kind of success, producing architecturally scaled collaborative installations as well as small pieces that were quiet, contemplative, and private. In the 1980s, Thek was largely forgotten, but in the last decade and a half, extensive research on his career has been done in Europe. This will be the first major treatment of his work in his own country.

Related programs: Culture Club, February 17; Lecture: Paul Thek, The Artist’s Artist, February 19; “Bound Together” Book Club, March 3; Lecture: Catholicism, the Body, and the Art of Paul Thek, March 31; Religion and the Body: A Visit to the Relics of St. Anthony’s Chapel, April 2.

The exhibition is co-organized by Lynn Zelevansky, The Henry J. Heinz II Director of Carnegie Museum of Art, and Elisabeth Sussman, Sondra Gilman Curator of Photography at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York.

Support for Paul Thek: Diver, A Retrospective is provided by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts, The Dietrich Foundation, and Gail and Tony Ganz. Major support for Carnegie Museum of Art’s presentation is provided by The Henry L. Hillman Fund, the Virginia Kaufman Fund, The Fellows of Carnegie Museum of Art, the Beal Publication Fund, Ann and Marty McGuinn, and Agnes Gund.

Scale: November 19 - February 6, 2011, at SPACE, Heidi Tucker

don't miss the exhibit at SPACE in downtown pittsburgh. particularly enjoy seeing heidi tucker's work which is shown above

show info below:

November 19 - February 6, 2011, at SPACE
Opening November 19th 6-9pm.


SPACE gallery, a project of The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust, presents the visual arts exhibition ''Scale'' with guest Curator Ally Reeves, from November 19, 2010 through February 6, 2011. Ally Reeves, published art critic, Fulbright recipient and MFA from Carnegie Mellon University, is looking to integrate artist's practices with the concerns of the current economic times.

Artists featured in this exhibit are sculptor Derk Wolmuth who's functional shower is built from almost 80 percent salvaged materials, Guffey Hollow a mysterious east coast speakeasy, Bill Daniel a filmmaker, drifter, and transient anthropologist, Gordon Kirkwood whose work makes use of salvaged wood and lasers, Heidi Tucker and Caleb Gamble who sell both prints and tamales, and Teresa Foley who's gleaned Craigslist images and given them a second life as wearable merchandise.

This exhibit also features a project of Mark Dixon, Invisible with a musical performance on Feb.5th.


Scale's artists explore the current and coming years of economic change which are forcing the world to reconsider definitions of lifestyle. What new practices, images, and modes of creativity will emerge as others become expensive, exclusive, or impractical? How will society communicate and share?

''Scale'' seeks to envision new ways society can live, work, and create. Artists will showcase their models and visions for work, play, and living in a world where creativity has become an everyday necessity and even a survival technique. Featured artists make use of items that come at a low cost, provide efficiency, or are surprisingly durable as a means to meet both basic necessity and fuel creative passions.

Guest Curator Ally Reeves is a recognized visual artist with over ten years of experience and an active exhibit history. Currently an Adjunct Professor of Fine Art at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA. Reeves works with the Coleman Center for the Arts with the One Mile Garden project and was previously the artist in residence at the Pittsburgh Jewish Community Center. Reeves was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to India in 2009-2010.

SPACE gallery, a project of The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust, is located at 812 Liberty Avenue, downtown Pittsburgh Cultural District. Gallery Hours: Wed and Thurs: 11 a.m. - 6 p.m.; Fri and Sat: 11 a.m. - 8 p.m. Free and open to the public. Information: www.pgharts.org

Ben Matthews Mendelson Gallery, Pittsburgh Pa

Ben Matthews returns to Mendelson Gallery with a new collection of his unique work. Ben's paintings open a window into a parallel universe of medicine show cures, carnival attractions, and weird products that are fantastical and a bit unsettling.

As Ben himself says:

"Working in a poster format I try to give the impression that my paintings have already served their purpose. They are documentations of people, places, events, products, and moments in time that did, did not, or will exist."

Join us this Thursday, December 9th from 6-9 pm for a glimpse into the strange world of Pittsburgh's own Ben Matthews.

Show runs through January 15th, 2011

The Pittsburgh Art Blog

The Pittsburgh Art Blog features selected pittsburgh artists and upcoming exhibits with photos from the artists and galleries. since the major press outlets do not go beyond a directory listing of exhibits, blogs are needed to promote pittsburgh artists and their work. the blog also calls attention to the inferiority complex of pittsburgh art and how it's perpetuated by the major players in town. Started on August 20, 2007.pittsburgh area galleries and art venues are listed at the sister site www.PghGalleries.com.

the blog and website are volunteer projects from fine art photographer and pittsburgh artist advocate rick byerly, www.RickByerly.com.
