This exhibition presents the ground-breaking work of two masters of 20th-century art. Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968) and Andy Warhol (1928-1987) are among the most important and influential artists of the 20th century, and they continue to inspire and influence contemporary artists today. Notorious early in their careers and iconoclastic in their eras, both artists are now important touchstones of modern art history. While many have written about their artistic kinship, this exhibition — which pairs dozens of their works and takes advantage of Warhol’s personal papers — is the first to thoroughly explore Warhol’s great interest in and indebtedness to Duchamp. This exhibition is curated by Matt Wrbican, Archivist, The Andy Warhol Museum. The Warhol thanks these generous lenders to the exhibition: Moderna Museet, Francis Naumann Fine Art, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Albright-Knox Art Gallery, The Richard and Emily Sandor Family Collection, Carroll Janis, High Museum of Art, Marion Meyer Contemporain, National Gallery of Art, Andrew L. Terner, Inc., and Jay Reeg.

Chronicles the history of the art quilt movement from 1980 through the present and brings the quilt decisively from the bed to the wall. The sixty-three quilts from this collection reflect the change from the traditional craft of quilt making based on the repeated block to the free spirited, sometimes edgy art form of today. Works by fifty-two artists represent the best in American art quilts today. Curated by Judith Trager, Rooted in Tradition is the first exhibition to tackle the art quilt historically.

In Pinter's No Man's Land, do Hirst, a wealthy recluse haunted by dreams and memories, and Spooner, a down-at-heels poet, really know each other, or are they performing an elaborate charade? The ambiguity - and the comedy - intensify with the arrival of Hirst's manservants Briggs and Foster, who may be lovers. All four inhabit a no-man's-land between time present and time remembered, between reality and imagination.

Lebanon Presbyterian Church invites you to join us for our Contemporary PRAISE! worship service on Sunday evenings at 6 PM. This upbeat service is designed to appeal to those who may not be available to come to church Sunday mornings and who might enjoy a Christ-centered worship service featuring contemporary Christian music, drama, video, and testimonies. The Sunday night PRAISE! service is a great way to become acquainted with LPC. The sermon message is different from the morning service so that those who wish to attend both services are not subjected to a repeat sermon. The service is designed to be more of a relaxed worship atmosphere where folks can dress casually. Our worship band performs live contemporary Christian music throughout the service. The lyrics to the songs are displayed on two large projector screens at the front of the sanctuary which allows the congregation to actively participate in worship if they so choose. If you want to hear what this service sounds like, feel free to visit the media area of our website at http://www.lebanonpc.org/media.html to listen to the worship music or sermons. We invite you to check out this worship service each Sunday evening at 6 PM. And, if you have a talent such as the ability to play a musical instrument, sing or act, you are more than welcome to be a part of the service and use that talent to worship the Lord!!! Free snacks are available in the lobby after the service where attendees can meet and mingle. Also, our senior youth ministry meets on Sunday evenings at 7 PM, making it convenient for them to attend the PRAISE! service before heading downstairs to youth group. We hope to see you soon on Sunday nights. ALL ARE WELCOME!!! Visit our website http://www.lebanonpc.org for more information regarding our ministries. We are located across from the Allegheny County Airport, next to Dean Honda and minutes from Century III Mall. Our address is: Lebanon Presbyterian Church 2800 Old Elizabeth Road West Mifflin, PA 15122 Our facility is wheelchair accessible.

The Warhol celebrates Andy Warhol’s work in film and video with the inauguration of a long-term exhibition showcasing the largest installation of his media works. Warhol’s most important films, including The Chelsea Girls (1966) and Screen Tests (1964-66), will be continuously projected on more than 20 large screens. Two newly restored films, Face (1965) with Edie Sedgwick and The Velvet Underground in Boston (1967) unseen since the 1960s, will be premiered as part of the installation. In addition, all of the episodes of Warhol’s three television series, Fashion (1979-80), Andy Warhol’s T.V. (1980-83), and Andy Warhol’s Fifteen Minutes (1985-87), will be simultaneously shown in the galleries contextualized with other little known work including numerous informal Factory Diaries; Warhol’s soap opera-like experimental dramas, Vivian’s Girls (1973), Phoney (1973), and Fight (1975); the artist’s only intentionally-produced piece of “video art,” Water, commissioned by Yoko Ono for an exhibition in 1971; and three short comedy pieces broadcast on Saturday Night Live in 1981. Made possible by a generous gift of equipment from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Inc., this new installation will allow viewers to experience a comprehensive range of Warhol’s influential media work surrounded by his archives, paintings, drawing, photographs, and other art.
