 Groundworks: Environmental Collaboration in Contemporary Art
   
Shifting the Paradigm
 The Groundworks Monongahela Conference
  A public exchange of international views
  on art, ecology and planning.

An invitation to artists, designers, planners, community activists, professionals and students to attend an international conference on art and cultural change.

October 15 and 16, 2005
at the Regina Gouger Miller Gallery,
Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA

The conference will explore the following questions: Can artists create or manifest social change? Given the issues of scale, ecology and institutionalized planning, what is the artist's role?

Artists from the US, Argentina, Austria, England, Germany, India, Japan and Senegal will make short presentations in four topic areas: trails, parks, water planning and land planning. Each group will end with responses by elected officials, experts and activists, followed by audience discussion.

The keynote speaker is Tom Finkelpearl, author of "Dialogues in Public Art " and director of the Queens Museum of Art. The closing summation will be given by Grant Kester, author of "Conversation Pieces: Community and Communication in Modern Art."

Artists and Presenters
Navjot Altaf, Christine Brill, Jackie Brookner, Tim Collins, Alma Du Solier, Stephanie Flom, Reiko Goto, Helen Mayer Harrison and Newton Harrison, Ichi Ikeda, Amadou Kane Sy, Jonathan Kline, Suzanne Lacy, Connie and Tom Merriman, A. Laurie Palmer, Martina Reuter, Ann Rosenthal, Rafael Santos, Christoph Schäfer, Susan Leibovitz Steinman and Diane Wittner

Admission to the conference is free but due to limited seating, and the intent to distribute materials prior to the conference, registration with email and/or mailing address is required. Check-in begins at 8:30 am on Saturday, October 15. The keynote address by Tom Finkelpearl begins at 9:15 am. The approximate schedule for the each day's program is 9:15 am - 5:00 pm on Saturday and 9 am - 5:30 on Sunday.

This international conference coincides with the Groundworks: Environmental Collaboration in Contemporary Art exhibition at the Miller Gallery, which runs October 14 - December 11, 2005. The conference is sponsored by the STUDIO for Creative Inquiry and the Regina Gouger Miller Gallery with funds from Altria, Inc., The Pittsburgh Foundation, The Heinz Endowments and the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts.

The STUDIO for Creative Inquiry, an arts research center, exists to support creation and exploration in the arts, especially interdisciplinary projects that bring together the arts science, technology, and the humanities, and impact local and global communities.

The Regina Gouger Miller Gallery opened in January 2000 with the mission to support the creation, growth and understanding of contemporary art through exhibitions, projects, events and publications. The gallery aspires to engage diverse audiences, to create and strengthen communities through art, and to stimulate, provoke and encourage contemplation of the visual arts of our times. The Miller Gallery is free and open to the public. It is located in the Purnell Center for the Arts on the Carnegie Mellon campus. Gallery hours are Tuesday-Sunday, 11:30 a.m.-5 p.m. and by appointment. Visitor parking is available in the East Campus Parking Garage off Forbes Avenue and also in the Morewood Lot on weekends.
