After Party: From the West coast of the East
Visionary deer glimpse the future in the facets of a glittering stone. Burnt out freaks linger in the dawn’s early rays. Fantasy characters are held captive amongst conceived decay. A simultaneous longing and dread for the inevitable future song. The weighting of universal truths versus the universes gravity.
In the month of May, Pittsburgh artists fill Space1026 with painting, sculpture, photography, video, screen prints, and taxidermy.
Artists include, Matt Barton, Jim Lingo, Jesse Jamaica McLean, Thad Kellstadt, Josh Tonies, Jesse Hulcher, ladyboy, Jae Ruberto And Josh Bonnett.

96 Gillespie Gallery – staging
*Pat Graham *is the photographer who best captured the live performances of America’s most loved & influential independent musicians during the 1990’s & early 00’s. His photos represent not just the bands but the scenes; the venues, audiences and instruments. He shows not only the public perfomances, but the behind-the-scenes; back stages, tour vans,hotel rooms, studios & record labels, bringing a very intimate perspective to his work.
Graham began shooting in high-school in Milwaukee, WI, but soon relocated to Washington DC where he worked extensively in and around the local & national music industry for over 10 years. During this period he toured endlessly with bands such as Modest Mouse, the Make Up, Tortoise & June of 44 across the USA and Europe.
His photos have been published in magazines including Rolling Stone, Spin Magazine ,Art Forum, NME, Dazed & Confused, Raygun, the Village Voice, the Washington Post, Washington City Paper, the Guardian, Punk Life, Punk Planet, Copper Press, Time Out,VICE, Tokion, Swindle, Guitar World, and the Chicago Reader; as well as books ‘Dance of Days’, ‘Cinderella’s Big Score’, Fodor’s ‘Rock & Roll Travel Guide’, and the Dischord Illustrated Catalogue.
In 2000 he moved his base to London, England. He co-founded contemporary art gallery, 96 Gillespie; a not for profit gallery dedicated to exhibiting American artists alongside their English counterparts in the UK. He works & exhibits internationally,frequently in collaboration with his wife, photograher/designer Melanie Standage.
His photos can be found in the Experence Music Project Museum, Seattle WA, The Arlington Municipal Art Collection, Arlington VA and in private collections around the world
