MUSIC FOR WEAVERS

Opens feb 1 5-9p

Music for Weavers is an expression and processing of relationship abuse, survival, and recovery.  The artists utilize film portraiture, hand weaving, and musical improvisation to question the notion of a centralized self and rigid patterns of behavior in the face of identity-splitting trauma and painstaking reintegration.

ROOTS & HUES
Nick Alan Foote

Opening Reception TONIGHT 6p-9p
 

Roots & Hues by Nick Alan represents the blended, woven tapestry of ancestral traditions with contemporary experiences within the context of being indigenous. This work underscores how cultural heritage, enriched by the knowledge passed down by community elders, intertwines with the evolving journey of Indigenous identity in the year 2023.

 

Through his art, Nick strives not only to share the richness of Tlingit culture, but also to ignite a spark in the hearts of younger generations. He seeks to inspire them to embrace the traditions that have been passed down, and to walk proudly in the footsteps of their ancestors while unapologetically carving their paths in the world.

A Gallery is excited to be hosting an open showing of Seattle artist Barry Johnson February 3rd - March 24th.

An intimate view into his quiet life and studio process. 

                           

A Gallery welcomes Seattle-based artist Tara Tamaribuchi, who brings her Camouflage Net Project to the gallery space.  During the month of November, she is using the space as an artist residency, to design and install a spatial installation that includes temporal video projection.  This installation will be exhibited through the month of December, with a First Thursday opening on December 2.
 
Camouflage Net Project (2017- ) is a series inspired by photos Dorothea Lange had taken of incarcerated Japanese-Americans weaving tens of thousands of camouflage nets for the US Army during WWII.  As an artist, I was astonished to see photos of my community elders as young people doing the handiwork of weaving as prison labor.  Through the physical weaving of this net, I connect my working hands to that of my incarcerated community, and send pride of heritage back in time through the materiality of kimono fabric.
Residency: 11/21
Completed Work: 12/2
