GUNS'N'GIRLS: Photography by Rachel Nieborg & Ine Mulder
709 Penn Gallery, April 27-June 10, 2012
 |
| Guns'n'Girls |
The famed ‘still life’ of old masters is reinterpreted by two young Dutch artists: photographer Rachel Nieborg and designer Ine Mulder. The duo began working together on Girls’N’Guns in 2008 when Ine Mulder asked Rachel Nieborg to join her for shooting practice. The project evolved into a carefully crafted set recasting the still life paintings of the 17th century. Working with a metronome to fine tune the precision timing, one would literally shoot a gun while the other shot photographs. The images have not been edited with photo software, but capture the raw tension of stillness and movement, violence and beauty. Read the entire release here.

Roving Pittsburgher Report
Tuesday, No BS Marketing Meeting
I learned about Copy Writing and Sales Letters. It’s great to be with other like minded marketers at this monthly meeting of the No BS Marketing Group hosted by Becky Auer and Weston Lyon.
Bravo, on McKnight Rd.
I had Bravo signature chopped salad with an oven fired chicken breast. Becky Auer and Weston Lyon of Profit Catapult Business School and Linda Barnicott, Pittsburgh artist had oven baked Verduta pizza with roasted vegetables and Margherita pizza, which they loved. Penne Mediterranean with added shrimp, Gregg Matthis of Pro Fry, said it was outstanding and was surprised at how many large shrimp were added for $3.99. John Pounaras from John Pounaras Agency had Grilled Vegetable Pasta which he found delightful. We were incredibly full but we all sampled jointly the warm Berry Cake and Torta Di Cioccolata, Bravo! Bravo!
Also Bravo to John, one of the managers who fell over himself to offer us outstanding customer service and bonuses to go when he realized he was temporarily out of the soup we ordered. We just might make this a regular Tuesday night stop.
PPL 5th Anniversary Party
Check out the live broadcast from the very successful 5th anniversary party last week here! Hear from Jennifer Yokum, General Manager of the Comfort Inn & Suites (host to the event), Caroline Laquatra from the Bellevue Business Center, and Alan Levine, “The Talking Machine,” and Community Relations and Development Director for the Pittsburgh Hugathon!
Pittsburgh Business Times, Women in Business
This was a great networking event with wonderful and dainty appetizers at the Hilton Garden Inn at Southpointe.
Pittsburgh Symphony, Magic of Paris
Wow, the Magic of Paris, I was transported. Respighi: La Boutique Fantasque overture was musically descriptive and you could imagine the ballet dancers from Rossini’s Boutique Fantastique on stage. You could feel the reeling of the Tarantella and dodge the kicking of the Cossacks. I always feel that when a creative piece fuels your imagination along with your soul, it has done its job. The Magic of Paris did both. Read the entire review here.
Christos Meditteranean Grill, 130 6th St.
You can get homemade wine and be regaled, if you like, with stories of Ari and Jackie Onassis on their yacht. The patriarch of the family owned business, Christopher, cooked for Jackie Onassis and invented a simple low fat dessert just for her which he proudly serves at Christos.
Stiffatho (beef and onion stew) melts in your mouth. The Spanikopita was excellent and the lamb kabob was delicate and tender. The Rizogalo (Rice Pudding) had a unique subtle hint of orange and the Saganaki, flaming cheese did not disappoint. The Galaktoboreko will make you forget baklava no matter how much you favor it. And Jackie Onassis Dessert, well no matter how full you are, make room for it.
Pittsburgh Opera, Abduction from the Serraglio
Review by JoAnn R. Forrester
The closing opera for the 2011-2012 season was a joy. After a season of heavy drama, I was ready to see something light, frothy and fun. I was not disappointed. Put this in the class of light opera with Gilbert and Sullivan. Another bonus was, it was in English. Yeah!
Written by Mozart, this opera starts in Istanbul, Turkey and proceeds to Paris, France. It takes place on that marvelous train, the Orient Express. I have always wanted to ride that train. So many books and movies (Murder on the Orient Express) feature that train and some kind of romantic or dastardly plot. Read the entire review here.
Pittsburgh Cultural Trust, the Priests
Review by Tamar Cerafici
Yinz missed a great concert the other night if you weren’t at the Byham Theatre. Fathers Eugene and and Martin O’Hagan, and Father David Delargy, collectively singing as “The Priests,” blended pop and classical style with affable grace. The trio of two tenors (Fathers Eugene and Martin) and a baritone (Father David) did it with the help of local musicians and good friendship (37 years, beginning in a Belfast, Northern Ireland, boarding school). Read the entire review here.
