March 28, 2011
The show, which opened Saturday, March 26, includes a Performance Night from 5–8 p.m., Friday, April 1, and concludes from 7p.m. – midnight, Friday, April 8 in conjunction with Future Tenant’s annual fundraiser bash, “SUGAR FACTORY.”
Curated by Pittsburgh Filmmakers/Center for the Arts resident curator Adam Welch, “Fresh Baked Goods” features artwork that, according to Welch, reflects the nature of “baked goods” by being “created in a relatively short period of time through a state of flux, reaction, combustion or synthesis; and existing for a short period of time, with temporal elements that also create something in their own moment of being.”
Adapted into the landscape of the massive construct of Bakery Square, “Fresh Baked Goods” is a-large scale and interactive art showcase. The MFA students specifically selected and developed artwork that would allow them to explore this unique exhibition space.
Artists are Nina Sarnelle, Agnes Bolt, Oscar Peters, Jonathan Armistead, Sung Rok Choi, Jesse England, Riley Harmon, Erin Womack, Felipe Castelblanco, Steve Gurysh, Craig Fahner, Scott Andrew, Dan Wilcox and Luke Loeffler.
“Fresh Baked Goods” will be open to the public through April 8. Gallery hours are 5 – 8 p.m., Wednesday through Friday, and 1 - 4p.m., Saturday. The Performance Night on Friday, April 1, coincides with the “Unblurred” Gallery Crawl and First Fridays on Penn Avenue. The closing reception and “SUGAR FACTORY” fundraiser on Friday, April 8 features local DJs, VJs, performances and an art auction. Fundraiser tickets can be purchased at www.sugrfactry.com.
Offering an exciting lifestyle center environment while hosting numerous free events to connect with its neighbors and guests, Bakery Square is home to Google, UPMC, Anthropologie, Free People, Learning Express, Urban Active Fitness, Coffee Tree Roasters, a Marriott SpringHill Suites Hotel and more. Bakery Square is a joint venture of Pittsburgh based Walnut Capital and the RCG Longview Fund from NY.
CMU’s School of Art encourages experimentation and hybrid practices as well as the history and traditions of art. The three-year Master of Fine Arts degree, ranked number one in multi-media by U.S. News & World Report magazine, produces self-defined artists of exceptional ability and initiative who are able to connect meaningfully with the communities and cultures around them.
Future Tenant is a non-profit art space located in downtown Pittsburgh at 819 Penn Avenue. It’s dedicated to showcasing the work of emerging artists through exhibitions that offer a cutting-edge perspective on the Pittsburgh art scene.
