“Oneness: Brie Ruais”, the first in Contemporary Craft’s new Tomayko Solo Artist Elevation Series, is a solo exhibition featuring the work of ceramic artist Brie Ruais.
The exhibition is a large survey of work, spanning eight years and exploring the idea that memory, place, and experience are based on an individual's perception and haptic experience.
Each of Ruais' works start with clay equal to Ruais’ body weight at the time. From there, she uses her body as a tool to push and shape the clay into its final form, completing the work in under 15 minutes.
“Oneness: Brie Ruais” is on view Feb. 2 - May 4, 2024. Admission is free.
Neither Here nor There features recent work by seventeen faculty members of the University of Pittsburgh’s Studio Arts Department. While these artists all engage in disparate forms of multimedia creation such as video, photography, printmaking, painting, installation, and sculpture, their unique practices underscore shared investments in locating the fluid nature of things in between. Artists grapple with issues of movement and migration, displacement, the politics of remembering, and identity as neither here nor there, not one thing nor another, but simultaneously occurring at the same time.
Neither Here nor There will be on view March 21 – April 20, 2024.

Join us in the STUDIO at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 28 for a talk by George A. Romero scholar Adam Charles Hart!
Few movies have had more impact than George A. Romero’s debut feature, "Night of the Living Dead." When it was unleashed on the world in 1968, it scandalized some and was dismissed by others, but it clearly struck a chord. Night invented a new kind of smart, savage horror, and it’s been watched, loved, and imitated as much as any movie ever made. And its influence continues to be felt across the culture, from zombie properties like "The Walking Dead" and "The Last of Us" to “elevated” horror films like "Get Out" and "Midsommar." But, once upon a time, it was just a low-budget movie from Pittsburgh made by a Carnegie Tech dropout and his pals. This talk, taken from the new book "Raising the Dead: The Work of George A. Romero," traces Romero’s creative life throughout the decade leading up to Night to show how and why a zombie movie could change the cinema.
Adam Charles Hart is a scholar and archivist, and the curator for Media Burn, an independent video archive based in Chicago. He is the author of "Monstrous Forms: Moving Image Horror Across Media" as well as "Raising the Dead: The Work of George A. Romero," which was published this month by Oxford University Press.

Jesus was celebrating the Passover Feast with the twelve disciples before his betrayal. It would be the last time that he would be with all of his disciples this side of the tomb. At this supper, Jesus established a new covenant with those that would follow him. He took Matzo bread - striped and pierced - and offered it to his disciples as his body. He poured the wine for his disciples as a symbol for how his blood would be poured out for the forgiveness of sins only hours later.
The Living Last Supper incorporates monologues written from the perspectives of Jesus' twelve disciples along with choral anthems.
Join us on Maundy Thursday for a special performance featuring the Hickory United Chancel Choir and live actors. The Living Last Supper transports us back in time to experience the meal Jesus spent with his disciples before he was betrayed.
