8:30 pm Talk:

"Curator Douglas Fogle teams up with Carnegie International artist BarryMcGee for a conversation about his work and about artists' responses to the phrase "life on Mars." From his beginnings in graffiti culture in the 1980s to his emergence as a gallery artist, McGee (known as "Twist" in skateboarding circles) has created art that reflects an antiauthoritarian, non-institutional point of view. Using bold colors
and dynamic geometric shapes, his installations have the chaotic energy of the urban experience, bringing a subversive street aesthetic into the space of the museum. For Life on Mars, McGee has transformed an ordinary hallway with his mixed-media installation."

9:30 pm Live performances in the museum's sculpture courtyard by: JAPANTHER (of Brooklyn)
EXTREME ANIMALS (of San Diego/Pittsburgh)
and CENTIPEDE E'EST (of Pittsburgh)
