Today I was just going to share the articles from Contemporary Craft’s (CC’s) latest email circular about the Transformations<\/em> exhibition. But there’s another mass shooting to address first, in Squirrel Hill<\/a>, just a few neighbourhoods across from The Strip District where CC is currently located. In the reporting I read<\/a>, the shooter “used three Glock 357 handguns and an AR-15 assault rifle” to murder 11 people and injure four police officers.<\/p>\n

The victims are:<\/p>\n

“Joyce Fienberg, 75; Richard Gottfried, 65, Rose Mallinger, 97; Jerry Rabinowitz, 66; Cecil Rosenthal, 59, and his brother David Rosenthal, 54; married couple Bernice Simon, 84, and Sylvan Simon, 86; Daniel Stein, 71; Melvin Wax, 88; and Irving Younger, 69.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

America, I know you know this, but your right to bear arms comes with the implicit flip-side; an expectation that you, your friend, your lover, your child….<\/p>\n

Deep breath in.<\/p>\n

Sigh.<\/p>\n

The articles that talk about the Transformations<\/em> work are one by M. Thomas, of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette<\/a>, and Jordan Snowden of the Pittsburgh City Paper<\/a>. Thank you to both writers, and especially M. Thomas for the research you did, and for quoting this blog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
