Penn Avenue Arts District Gallery Crawl Unblurred Oct 7, 2011

October 5, 2011

I will have three pieces of my art work at Irma Freeman Center for Imagination (5006 Penn Avenue) in their exhibit titled Pittsburgh by Pittsburgh Artists. My piece above is titled “East Liberty /Liberty Green (80 green roofs for East Liberty)”. It illustrates a concept of adding 80 green roofs and  a moat around East Liberty for inner tube riding in the summer. Through text written on the frame I suggest a history of real-estate development in East Liberty from native Americans- through the Mellon & Negley families.  Urban Renewal, a poem by Yusef Komunyakka is also written there and finally “liberty” is defined as free place to graze cows. I suggest we then change the name from East Liberty to Liberty Green and create an outdoor summer film festival site for Chris Ivey.
