January 5 - January 30, 2010
Art Inter/National,
here and abroad
The Art Inter/National Exhibition began in January 2002 with
the concept of exploring space, how the immediate environment impacts
the artistic process and influences what each artist creates. Inspired by the prestigious Carnegie International, Box
Heart Gallery is thrilled to offer the Pittsburgh community an
intimate, yearly alternative. Over 275 entries, from regional,
national, and international artists, were received this year. Of these
entries, 20 artists were selected for participation and 29 works of art
in a variety of media will be exhibited.
Public Reception:
Sat, January 9th: 5 - 8pm
Free and open to the public.

The artwork selected for this year's Art Inter/National Exhibition
is unified by the concept that the viewer is called upon to determine
each's artist's view of the world and the space we occupy. For example, Chinese artist
Chung Chak is intolerant of judging or labeling people based on
prejudice and stereotypes, but uses these associations to construct
compartmentalized narratives in his large-scale, digital collage
artwork. Chak then leaves it up to the viewer to decide whether or not
these stereotypes are true. Many of the artists selected for
participation in this year's Art Inter/National are also attempting to
resolve a conflict in environment. For artist Stephen Marc "most of the
history that (he) is invested in, took place on the other side of the
country. His role is as a photographic "hunter and gatherer" while on
the road, and digital "weaver and researcher" upon his return home.
(Marc Artist Statement) Painter Michele Bulatovic is an urbanophile,
formerly of Pennsylvania, currently wrestling with suburban life in
Texas. For Bulatovic, "living in the Lone Star State has dramatically
influenced (her) creative process. She's been rattled to her core by
her environment, particularly by three of its characteristics: the
sprawling development of the town in which she lives; the sterile
social, political and cultural environment; and the bland landscape.
The first two radically influence the style in which Bulatovic paints,
and the latter influences the subject matter." (Bulatovic Artist
Statement) Each of the 2010 Art Inter/National participants have captured an
individual process of translating their thoughts through visual
imagery, ordinary moments that they experience at various occasions in
daily life.
