Join us downtown at the Future Tenant Art Space FRIDAY, April 19, FROM
7-10 PM for the opening reception of Displacement. Artists Phil
Hessler and Natalia González Requena use an expanded definition of
drawing to consider the formal and political status of Pittsburgh’s
industrial detritus. Through the use of sculptural installation and
site-specific notations, they re-present the remnants of industry; now
displaced in space and time.

Pittsburgh native and descendant of steel workers, Hessler reclaims
and re-contextualizes abandoned industrial materials. Bolivian artist
González Requena uses drawn and phenomenological lines to construct
new spatial and corporeal relationships. Together, they offer
complementary perspectives; one weighted and political, the other
poetic and experiential. Subsequent gallery hours for Displacement are
Thursdays and Sundays, 1-6 PM, and Fridays and Saturdays, 1-8 PM
through May 5.
