Nobody’s perfect, especially list makers. Half way in, they’re looking at the finish line. Which is to say, mistakes were made. This post, Opening Thursday Night in Seattle, needed to include Lawrimore Project. There is never a good reason to leave out Lawrimore Project, which is surely one of the West Coast’s top galleries.
Opening at LP Thursday night, 6-9, are Caleb Larsen‘s Everything All of the Time Right Now plus Wet And Leatherhard, a group exhibit focused on ceramics curated by Susie J. Lee. The latter features Sterling Ruby, Jim Melchert, Kristen Morgin, Wynne Greenwood, Ben Waterman, Meiro Koizumi, Doug Jeck and Tim Roda.
From Larsen, the $10,000 sculpture, in progress. It accepts your dollar bills and gives you nothing back.
You Seattle critics overrate Lawrimore. Stale tricks.
Dear “A Dissent”: Your opinion might matter more if you backed it up or even used your own name. As it is, nothing will come of nothing. And P.S.: Seattle critics do not speak with one voice. If we all value Lawrimore Project, it’s because of the gallery’s breath and depth, its range that draws in so many different kinds of people.
