Life on Mars, the 2008 Carnegie International

The 2008 Carnegie International, on view through January 11, 2009 at Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh, presents work by 40 artists from 17 different countries in wide range of media. Titled Life on Mars, the 2008 Carnegie International focuses on the increasingly relevant question of what it means to be human in the world today. The artists investigate particular aspects of the human condition, moving along paths that are both introspective and worldly while poetically traversing the dramatic spectrum from tragedy to comedy. This is the 55th installation of the exhibition founded in 1896 by Andrew Carnegie.
