Carnegie International artists

Sunday, October 03, 2004

By Mary Thomas, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

The 54th Carnegie International will open its doors Saturday and will be with us through March 20. Since its artworks will be in our city for such a long time, it seems appropriate to meet the artists who created them.

They're a global and varied lot, 38 in all, 14 of them women. Two each are in their 20s, 50s and 70s; three in their 60s. But the majority are in their 30s (15) and 40s (13). One, Mangelos, is deceased (as were two artists shown in the last International).

They express themselves, variously, through painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, film, video, performance and installation.

Perhaps more than native country or current residence, the places where the artists were educated and where they have exhibited reveal the extent to which today's art community has become internationalized and the routes that have become established for the transference of information, idea and experience.

Lee Bontecou, whose major retrospective ended its national tour at the Museum of Modern Art, Queens, last week, also exhibited in the 1970, 1967 and 1961 Carnegie Internationals. Some artists have been shown recently at the Carnegie.

The exhibitions selected are only highlights from biographical excerpts provided by Carnegie Museum of Art. More information about each artist is in the catalog that accompanies the exhibition.
