Stevie B. is very happy to be participating in
LAUGHINGSTOCK - Humor in Art & Craft
Luke & Eloy Gallery
5169 Butler Street
Pittsburgh, PA 15201
"Laughingstock: Humor in Art & Craft"
Exhibition: November 15, 2008 - December 23, 2008
We explore how artists use irony, goofiness, satire, and sarcasm in their work. Can humor and satire stimulate laughter as well as serve as a vehicle to explore serious subjects, such as feminism, the natural environment, the excesses of consumer culture, religion, sexuality, social injustice, and war ? Can artwork be "funny" and critical at the same time? How does the artist's choice of materials affect the outcome so that the work is perceived as "funny"? What are the boundaries in humor and who gets to decide what these are? Are there topics we are not allowed to laugh about ?

Art of the Martini 7
"Zaruba & Zaruba opens its doors each year to artists from around the country to participate in the Annual Art of the Martini. This event is a month long art exhibition celebrating the iconic "martini". Fifty artists, including many of the country's top metal smiths and goldsmiths will create their own original fine art from one common media; a stainless steel martini glass.
This unique art show is a celebration of interpretation and individuality, beginning with the concept of the iconic "Martini". Artists are given one stainless steel martini glass to be transformed into their unique creation. All materials and techniques are welcome, and the only restraint is that the artist uses the intended martini glass in their final piece.
Opening night is always an event not to be missed. Over 800 people visit the gallery is this one special evening to shop this unique collection. While enjoying the artwork and jewelry, have a Martini with us to kick off the holiday season."
