Shadows of a Fleeting World: Pictorial Photography and Seattle Camera
Club
North
Galleries
February 12, 2011 - May 8,
2011
In the early years of the 20th century a group of talented Japanese
immigrants in Seattle took up the practice of pictorial photography. During that
time, Japanese-American pictorial photographers were so numerous on the West
Coast that they formed large camera clubs, particularly in Los Angeles, San
Francisco, and Seattle. They produced work that was published widely and
exhibited in national and international competitions.
Shadows of a Fleeting World presents over 100 works by Seattle Camera Club
photographers and others in the Seattle area who worked in the pictorial style
during the movement's heyday.

Vortexhibition Polyphonica Opus IV
Stroum Gallery
Until March 13,
2011
Opus IV
continues to explore the rich relationships that can arise between objects and
ideas as it blends the first three versions with a range of newly installed art
works. Echoes of the previous iterations form the constant thread with which the
new choices resonate. In Opus IV, Curator Sara Krajewski incorporates a number
of recent acquisitions from the collection of Safeco Insurance, a member of the
Liberty Mutual Group, and the Washington Arts Consortium. Additionally, as part
of the polyphonic intention of the exhibition, Curator of Collections Judy
Sourakli includes a selection of aprons from the Costumes and Textiles
Collection. Together these additions will round out this final iteration of Vortexhibition
Polyphonica.

Over the past few months the collaborative trio of
SuttonBeresCuller have spent a considerable amount of time installing, tweaking,
and trouble-shooting the many elements that make up the participatory
exhibition Panoptos. Join artists John Sutton, Ben Beres, Zac
Culler, Joseph Gray, and Matt Westervelt of
Metrix Create:Space as they
discuss the development of Panoptos and the ways in which technology is
used within the realm of contemporary art as a tool for intervention,
interpretation, and
insight.
Moderated by
John Boylan, this panel will also explore the role of technology in contemporary
arts practice using questions and prompts generated by local artists and
University of Washington students. If you have a question you'd like for the
