Images Of Car Funeral In Braddock

Getting some images off the camera--some from shows with no photo policies that I can't post.



Anyway, here are some shots of the strangely moving funeral for a car I saw last week at The New Braddock Garage space.

Quite possibly the artist, Jenn Myers didn't take this work too seriously as a "major work", but it really made kind of an interesting piece and I guess pretty fitting for Braddock.

Check out the mass of stuff she has on her site. She is new to Pittsburgh and I look forward to seeing more.

See you next week @ The Gold In Braddock show, when The Garage will also be hosting a show.

New Show @ New Space In Braddock: The Garage Opens April 17th

Finally, some more offbeat and exiting venues opening up in Braddock as more people take the initiative and fill the many spaces Braddock offers.

This one should be easy to spot--really a small garage just a block or so past Unsmoke Systems. Follow the flames and smoke baby! Does Gagosian have a view like this?

"The Garage is a new contemporary art space located in the community of Braddock, Pennsylvania. An abandoned double garage was restored for use as an exhibition space renovation being completed in July of 2009. The intent of the space is to provide a setting for contemporary artwork away from the institution and art market."
