HOMEOGRAPH

JUNE –JULY, 2019

The Union Hall
2216 Penn Ave, Fl 2nd Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. 15222

Homeograph, a word that shares the same form but has different meaning. the show reaches towards unifying themes of the reconceptualization, deconstruction, and redefinition of utility and history in the works of Mary Dorfner Hay, Melissa Riggatire, and Crystal Latimer. With the combined forces of the artists, AAP, and the Union Hall; Homeograph reconsiders time, events, and space and allows it to be viewed through divergent angles.

Curated by Andrew Hefner and Shelby Ciarallo.

VESSELS IN FIVE DIMENSIONS

JUNE 2–JULY 27, 2019

IRON GATE GALLERY, TOUCHSTONE CENTER FOR CRAFTS

Touchstone Center for Crafts is hosting two Associated Artists of Pittsburgh Exhibitions in the summer of 2019. Both exhibitions will take place at the Iron Gate Gallery, and will are juried and curated by Lindsay Ketterer Gates, Executive Director of Touchstone and Travis Winters, Programs Manager at Touchstone.

Vessels in Five Dimensions is a duo exhibition between Kristen Letts Kovak and Silvija Singh.

Vessels in Five Dimensions explores the fluidity between two-dimensional images and three-dimensional forms. Augmenting the static dimensions of height, width, and depth with time and individual perception, both Kovak and Singh create vessels that subvert function while alluding to meaning.  Both artists intentionally leave gaps in information. Using the fragments to construct new and more complex narratives, they reform instability into strength and surface into transparency.  Kovak’s paintings depict forms whose context has been removed or interrupted. Similarly, Singh’s ceramic forms are carefully pieced together, revealing cavities interrupting their function. The resulting physical and pictorial vessels are not empty bodies but bodies reformed by history, observation, and cognition.
