Event: School of Art Lecture Series
Location: McConomy Auditorium, Campus
Date: Tuesday, Oct. 20
Time: 5 pm
Cost: Free
Pat Oleszko, the Spring 2010 Kraus Visiting Professor of Art, makes a spectacle of herself and doesn't mind if you laugh. Known as "Ms Tricks of Dis Guise," she has a large body of work which includes many Unnatural Acts. Utilizing elaborate costumes and props, she has created lithe performantzes, films and installations that a-dress trees, knees, breasts, butts, elephants and fingers. There have been notorious spatial events with the cast-off thousands. She has worked from the popular art forms of the street, party, parade and burlesque house to the Museum of Modern Art; from Sesame Street Magazine to Ms, Playboy and Artforum. A much decorated artist both literally and figuratively, she has been amply rewarded for her diverse efforts pumping irony and disparately trying to bring home the beacon. The truth squirts.

NFTRW Weekly Top 5
Here are the top five comment generating posts from the past week:
27 Visual Theatre Cliches
Props: "Though this is almost a month old, I’ve been wanting to get around to it. In Time Out London, Andrew Haydon has made a list of cliches of visual theatre that should be banned. He posits that these metaphorical objects and devices are so overused, that they’ve lost their impact. Here is the list with my commentary as it relates to props."Disney debuts do-it-yourself thrill ride
CNN.com: "Epcot on Wednesday opened a new attraction called 'Sum of All Thrills,' which lets kids use computer tablets to design a virtual roller coaster, bobsled track or plane ride. After inputting their designs, kids climb into a robotic carriage that uses virtual-reality technology to help them experience the ride they've created."*Walking to the Sky* art piece is more than just pole in ground
The Tartan Online: "The campus community has watched as Pittsburgh’s typical fall showers have delayed the progress of the reconstruction on Carnegie Mellon’s iconic art structure. Walking to the Sky was created by Carnegie Mellon alumnus Jonathan Borofsky, who earned his BFA in 1964."City Theatre's 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' gets a new look
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: "City Theatre is bringing a new look to a timeless classic, says Tracy Brigden, the company's artistic director.
The production of 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' that begins performances Saturday will have a look and feel that's more Goth than Victorian, says Brigden, who is directing the production."'Sleeping Beauty' kicks off Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre's 40th season
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: "Perfection is said to be in the eye of the beholder.
But artists look at what they create before the audience does, and the folks at Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre are confident that 'The Sleeping Beauty' is a perfect way to celebrate the opening of its 40th-anniversary season."
