ModernFormations Gallery and Performance Space was founded in June of 2001, and since then, has been committed to contributing to the growing artistic culture of Pittsburgh, the Penn Avenue arts community, and to the surrounding neighborhoods.ModernFormations Gallery and Performance Space is dedicated to representing the diverse artistic, musical, and dramatic talent of Pittsburgh. Whether it's on the intimate stage, listening to live music, or artwork hung in the gallery space, the goal is to create an atmosphere conducive to bringing interaction and discussion about the arts.In order to meet this goal, and that of promoting art in Pittsburgh, ModernFormations will exhibit a diverse range of art mediums including, and not limited to, modern art, performance art, bands, plays, films, and literary readings. Cozy couches surrounded by purple walls make this a unique space in Pittsburgh to experience artwork.ModernFormations will continue to give emerging artists, whose talent is greater than their opportunity to exhibit, a chance to show their work in Pittsburgh.*********CURRENT EXHIBITION********:ModernFormations Gallery presents: Quel Dommage! The Artwork of Siblings Beth and Charles Steidle Thru July 28th***Quel dommage! What a shame! What a pity! This exhibit is inspired by all the little sadnesses and minor disasters accumulated over time: a malfunctioning anatomy, a rabid raccoon, a falling horse, a missing arm, animals eating other animals. As children, Charles rubbed red yarn in Beth’s eye. Beth repeatedly told Charles he was adopted and unwanted. Now, as responsible adults, they have teamed up to present new works, in a variety of media, created throughout the past year.
