Between 1964 and 1966, Andy Warhol shot his "Screen Tests" – beautiful, revealing portraits of hundreds of individuals, all visitors to The Factory. From the famous to the anonymous, most subjects were captured in stark relief by a strong keylight, and filmed by Warhol with his 16mm camera on silent, black and white, 100-foot rolls of film. The result is a fascinating collection of four-minute, slow-motion masterpieces that startle and entrance.
Jointly commissioned by The Andy Warhol Museum and The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust, The 13 Most Beautiful…Songs for Andy Warhol's Screen Tests, is a performance that utilizes the Museum's film collection. Dean Wareham and Britta Phillips use the "dream pop" sensibility of their former indie-pop band, Luna.

Do you lose focus and get overwhelmed easily?
Do you have a number of incomplete projects?
You're not alone. For many years, I was the same way. It was so frustrating. I would get inspired to do something but then the excitement fizzled and I was on to something else. I told myself that I should do the things I told myself I would do. I set goals, created an action plan, scheduled my days and just knew that I would achieve what I wanted soon. But I usually never did.
It was tough. I felt like a failure. I didn't know what was wrong with me.
Each year many individuals set goals for themselves. They too start out with good intentions, new inspiration and an action plan but few follow through to the end. Most will forget about their goals within a month.
