Future Tenant Gallery located at 801 Liberty Avenue in the heart of Pittsburgh's Cultural District proudly presents a variety of works by the Master of Fine Arts (second year) students of Carnegie Mellon University. All the artists, although unique in their backgrounds, are connected by a single wooly mammoth who, despite having slim chances of survival, is still "showing signs of life". Hence, these talented artists have come together, inspired to present a variety of innovative creations.

Come and see the show during Future Tenant's gallery hours: Tuesday through Friday from noon till 8:00 and Saturday from noon till 6:00. "Showing Signs of Life" will open on April 7, 2006 and run through April 28th (suggested donations taken at the door). There will be a reception in honor of the show on April 21st in conjunction with the gallery crawl featuring food by Quiet Storm and free beer.

The artists featured in the show are: Lauren Adams, Jan Descartes, Ian Ingram, Gunnhildur Jonsdottir, David Halsell, and David Tinapple. Together, they present a variety of works, including video, projections, machinery, and other mediums. The artists take their inspiration from diverse sources: from Upton Sinclair to Andy Warhol to present a variety of interactive and visual creations.
