(January 13, 2014) Future Tenant presents Fabrications, a group visual art exhibition. “Fabrication” can refer to many things; a story concocted with the goal of deception; a manufacturing process; a construction from raw materials. In this showcase of talent from Carnegie Mellon University’s College of Fine Arts, there is recurring emphasis on subtle narratives and stories woven from paint, thread, and wood. The tactile quality of the work tempts the viewer to explore the structures and to touch the various textiles and textures. A balance between craftsmanship and concept are achieved in a variety of mediums and styles in this presentation of work from the CFA program.
The exhibiting artists are Nicole Anderson, Zechariah Choi, Adelaide Cole, Cristina David, Claire Gustavson, Michael Importico, Justin Lin, Sejal Popat, and Laurel Michel-Schottman. These emerging artists were chosen due to the merit of the art they presented during the CFA Open Studio Day, and the potential their work shows for future success in the arts.
GALLERY HOURS: Thursday and Sunday, from 1 to 6pm, Friday and Saturday, from 1 to 8pm. Additional gallery hours will be announced at www.facebook.com/futuretenant and @futuretenant on Twitter.
Future Tenant is a nonprofit art space located in downtown Pittsburgh at 819 Penn Avenue, dedicated to showcasing the work of emerging artists through exhibitions that offer a cutting edge perspective on the Pittsburgh art scene.
