Brew House is excited to announce a new mini-exhibition series! Throughout all of 2025, at all of our exhibition openings, gallery visitors are also invited to Order Now and Personalize.
Curated by Centa Schumacher, Order Now and Personalize is a series of photographs printed on grocery store sheet cakes. Each print is limited to an edition of one, and will only be available for viewing and consumption during Brew House gallery openings. Each installment will feature the work of a Pittsburgh photographer thematically paired to each exhibition, and offers a unique and exclusive opportunity for engaging with contemporary photography.
Edition #1
Edition #1 will take place during the opening reception of When the Lights Come On: Queer Nightlife as Emergent Space on January 23, from 6-8:30pm, and will feature the work of Sandy Loaf. Sandy Loaf is a multidisciplinary artist working in sculpture, performance, photography, and filmmaking. She also owns and operates Three Pigs Vintage, where she designs and paints wearable art piece for her shop.
Edition #2
Edition #2 will take place during the opening reception of On the Edge Of: 2025 Distillery Residency Exhibition on April 17, from 6-8:30pm, and will feature the work of Karen Lue, one of this year’s Distillery residents. Karen is a self-taught, image-based artist whose work explores aspects of identity and the physical body in relation to grief, ritual, and performance.
Edition #3
Edition #3 will take place during the opening reception of Fiberart International 2025 on June 20, from 5:30-8pm, and will feature the work of Barbara Weissberger. Barbara’s shaped photographic quilts incorporate curvy shapes, wobbly angles, rough edges, and loose threads as a way of undercutting a kind of purity and control.
Edition #4
Edition #4 will take place during the opening reception of One Year, One Outfit and will feature the work of Christine Lorenz, a photographer who uses the tools of macro photography to explore the ways we find meaning in materials. In her “Halophilic” series, Christine looks at salts and plastics and brings them into the same visual space, drawing attention to the current infusion of plastics at every level of our environment.
