Lives and Works in Pittsburgh, PA
Combining humor, social commentary and a low-tech aesthetic, Tom Sarver explores relationships between the art world and the everyday. His projects span a variety of disciplines including performance, installation, puppetry and events. Sarver’s concepts are often realized in storefronts, houses, and public spaces. These include building an evolving museum in a city row house, opening a “bait & tackle” shop in Downtown Pittsburgh, and coordinating a series of Olympic-inspired performance events. From 1999 through 2008, Sarver was a core organizer of The Black Sheep Puppet Festival, a national festival of activist and experimental puppetry. He holds a B.F.A. from Tyler School of Art and an M.F.A. from Purchase College.
