AIR ARCHIVE EXHIBITION
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9, 6–9 PM
AIR ARCHIVE EXHIBITION & 25TH ANNIVERSARY PARTY
Artists Image Resource has been supporting artists in Pittsburgh for over 25 years now. The space thrives on inquiry and a curiosity and it has always tried to challenge us to find dynamic ways to make our voices heard.
We have recently begun bringing more work out of the archive and this December show includes several things that you probably haven’t seen for years, if at all.
An array of challenges over the past few years (health; social justice; politics) have caused us all to rethink priorities and we are highlighting a number of recent projects that speak to some of the studio’s longstanding core concerns like collaboration, mentorship, equity, voice, and mutual support.
Projects like The Golden Cage Portfolio in 2020, the BOOM/AIR Residency in 2021 and The Museum of Queer Curiosities in 2022 are but a few of the projects that showcase the good work of artists and others supporting community with the help of the AIR studio.
In 2020, we began working on The Museum of Queer Curiosities with Feliks Pyron and based on the broad inquiry, collaborative spirit, and curious nature of the project we committed to integrating the “museum” into the studio for an indefinite period of time. Visit December 9 and visit often.
The presentation in the studio this month adds even more disparate connections and disconnections to the display of 25 years of work. If you don’t know where one thing stops and another starts, ask someone or just make something up.
Join us Friday December 9th and enjoy tunes and good vibes with DJ Mary Mack. Enjoy some great food from Jen Saffron and her crew at Sprezzatura.
Thanks to Mike Hegedus for hooking us up with the craft beers and Thanks to Mike Budai for the great poster and printing activities and
As always, thanks to the always amazing AIR crew for hosting the show.
