Six More Weeks of Contemporary Art and Writing

With the holiday season now officially in full swing, the final weeks of the 55th Carnegie International will surely fly by! The exhibition will officially close on January 11, 2009, so the moment is ripe to make plans for your final visits--on your own or with student groups. To schedule tours and interdisciplinary programs related to Life on Mars, contact the group visits office by phone at 412.622.3288.
In last Wednesday's Post-Gazette, Mary Thomas crafted a well-edited Life on Mars "must see" list for all of you last-minute visitors out there. Even if you cannot see every work in the show in person, she suggests for you some key stops along a compelling, if abbreviated, path. Visits and tours may always, too, be supplemented by web-based exploration!
(Mark Manders' "Continuous Livingroom Scene.")
In addition, Thomas reported thoughtfully in her article on the Life on Mars exhibition catalog, shown below, which is a treasure trove of imagery, writing, and philosophical insight that is sure to peak your imagination as you experience the exhibition, and long after it is gone. Catalogs may be purchased at the musuem's gift shop, in person or online.
Of particular intrigue in the book for visual art and language arts teachers committed to carrying out the mandates of the PA Academic Standards is the curator's inclusion of artists' writings, which can inspire your own students to think through their own creative processes and reflect on their artwork produced in school.
