From the file of up-and-out: Seeking to expand their reach beyond Manhattan, artists send their work to… Seattle.
Outside The Time Zone, the curatorial partnership between Chris Rawson
and Julian Calero, is pleased to announce its first collaborative project outside of New York City. The exhibition is also the inaugural exhibition for Kymata Project Space.
Seattle was chosen as the first host city because the exhibited artists and the curators have intimate connections with the Emerald City and the Northwest.
The four-person exhibition of new work by Chris Burnside, Garek Druss, Ben Needham and Adam Taye is conceived as a meditation on landscape and is inspired by the act of homecoming, travel and displacement, which are themes prevalent in OTZ’s ongoing nomadic curatorial project.
They couldn’t have too many ties in Seattle or they wouldn’t call it the Emerald City. That’s a marketing term, the equivalent of The Big Apple. Those who use it are on the take, out of it or kidding. At any rate, welcome. They open Feb. 11, 6-8 p.m. at 340 15th Ave. E Suite 305.
