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 rememberig, and identity as neither here nor there, not one thing nor another, but simultaneously occurring at the same time.

Selected works are loosely grouped based on asymmetrical relationships to environment, systems of belonging, memory, ritual, and the body. Emphasizing frameworks aimed at dismantling normative systems, Neither Here nor There sees time as malleable—it thickens, pools, and elongates, ultimately highlighting ways of seeing as powerful acts of protest and resistance.

Curated by Ellen Larson. Featuring the work of Scott Andrew, Ken Batista, Melissa Catanese, Casey Connelly, Aaron Henderson, Delanie Jenkins, Bryan Martello, Mike Morrill, Sean P. Morrissey, Brent Nakamoto, Paolo Piscitelli, Omid Shekari, Becky Slemmons, Loring Taoka, Lenore Thomas, Scott Turri, and Barbara Weissberger.

Neither Here nor There will be on view March 21-April 20, with an opening reception on Thursday, March 21 from 6-8pm. The reception is open to the public and free to attend. See you there!
