Pittsburgh Center for the Arts | 6300 Fifth Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15232
As part of the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh 2010 Centennial Year celebration, AAP will honor its connection with Pittsburgh Filmmakers/Pittsburgh Center for the Arts and its affiliated guild artists with an exhibition entitled Interplay.
Interplay is defined as mutual action, influence and interaction. Interplay implies a reciprocal action and reaction of opposing forces. Some examples are the interplay between environment and genetics; painting and sculpture; religion and politics; art and science. The challenge to artists is to consider all of the ways in which people, things or ideas repeatedly act on and react to each other and explore the tension that is created when two disparate elements are brought together visually. The concept of interplay can also embrace the cooperative and creative action and reaction between two artists involved in a collaboration. All 2-D and 3-D media will be accepted including film and video. Work should be created specifically for this exhibition by member artists of AAP, PF/PCA and guilds.
The exhibition will be installed in the second floor galleries of PCA from April16 through June 13, 2010. This will be an opportunity to showcase the work of local artists and the organizations that support them, while an international audience visits the Fiberart International exhibition on the first floor.
AAP will publish an illustrated catalog that will include a description of each organization, its history and its mission. The catalog will be a promotional tool for AAP, PF/PCA and all its affiliated Guilds. The catalog will also have an insert that lists details of this exhibition.
