Originally commissioned as part of Project Pop-up Pittsburgh: Downtown, Toby Fraley’s Fraley’s Robot Repair: Pittsburgh International Airport Branch is a faux storefront that emulates an antiquated repair shop – for robots, of course! Robot Repair invites viewers to imagine a future where humanoid robots are integrated into our daily lives. Details large and small will be changed periodically during this temporary exhibition.
Toby Fraley is a sculptor, painter, and installation artist born in Washington, PA; he currently resides in Pittsburgh.
