The work of Point Park University artists covered the walls of a home in Oakland last Saturday during a pop-up show appropriately titled “Fabric of Portraiture.” The exhibition displayed the interdisciplinary work of six photographers in the Point Park community.

Among those featured in the show was Hannah Altman, CEO and curator of “Pulp House,” an independent gallery space where local artists can exhibit new ideas and concepts.

“This is technically our first pop-up event,” said Altman, a senior photography major. “We thought, why don’t we just do all of the people that live here? So this is essentially all of the people that live in the house, plus me.”

Altman’s installation expressed the idea of synesthesia, a combination of the senses, and was displayed in a narrative she described to be the “visualization of a verbal conversation.”

Altman’s work was met with admiration from peers and guests alike.

“I think that she is a mad genius,” said Corrine Jasmin, a senior artist student. “All of this was just in her head until two days ago.”

Jasmin was also featured in the show through her multi-generational photo series conceptualizing beauty within black women.

“Everything Hannah does has a lot of meaning to it,” Ryan McMahon, a junior in attendance, said. “Everything she does she puts 110 percent into.”

Sophomore Tyler Caplin’s interactive photo series entitled “Big Head” was also on display in the pop-up show. Caplin emphasized the importance of working with other artists like Altman to gain inspiration.

“We have been bouncing ideas off of each other, so it was cool that I got to work with her in that respect,” Caplin said. “So seeing those ideas come to fruition was really awesome.”

Sean Eaton, director and chief financial officer of Pulp House and a Point Park graduate, has worked with Altman over the last few years and said he considers her to be a brilliant artist who is ahead of her time.

“She has a knack for getting awareness, and getting awareness quickly to sensitive subjects,” Eaton said.

Eaton explores the idea of what it means to be a man in a society where more men are embracing gender fluidity in clothing, a view presented in his style book “Pretty Boy.”

He stressed the importance of Altman’s ability to appeal to people with substantial knowledge of fine art, as well as those who appreciate it but do not understand its intricacy at times.

“She is really good at taking a complex subject and presenting it in a simple way,” Eaton said. “It makes it appealing to people who are interested in art and also makes it relatable to people that maybe don’t know it as well.”
