Exposition. Documents Northwest: The PONCHO Series Testimonies: Work by Ross Palmer BEECHER and Barbara THOMAS
"Testimonies: Work by Ross Palmer Beecher and Barbara Thomas presents works by two mid-career Seattle artists known for their highly imaginative, symbol-laden imagery. Both artists bring personal perspectives to broad cultural issues. Beecher looks back to the subjects and materials of colonial American history, remaking flags, maps, and broadside imagery. In one piece, she has woven and pieced together quilts using strips of metal cut from beer and soda cans. Thomas paints poignant, sharply nuanced visions that evoke mysterious, often ominous events; her narratives reflect on a variety of topics, from her family memories to visions of natural and cultural disaster. Image: Barbara Thomas, Man Cleans Fish, 1987. Collection of Deborah Atkinson."

Exposition. Cindy SHERMAN: Allegories
http://www.SeattleArtMuseum.org/Departments/PR/Cindy/sherman.htm
"Born in New Jersey in 1954, Sherman is arguably the most celebrated artist of her generation. In the late seventies she produced a compelling group of small black and white photographs called Untitled Film Stills. Sherman appeared in each one, mimicking the stereotypical female characters that populated the movies of her youth ingenues, housewives, vamps, and other instantly recognizable types. In a later series of photographs she masqueraded as different generic types from historical paintings. Her photographs make a spectacle of social ideals, myths, and stereotypes. They probe questions of identity by stimulating viewers to consider the visual models on which we fashion our external selves and our identities. This exhibition presents a variety of Sherman s works from the last three decades. Artists Simon Grennan and Christopher Sperandio will produce a comic book to accompany this project. This exhibition is underwritten by the Anne Gerber Fund, Seattle Art Museum."

Exposition. Chuck CLOSE
"This exhibition is a retrospective of the artist's work. Close is known for his monumental and psychologically charged portraits of distinguished aritists and anonymous subjects. He first came to prominence in the 1970s with large airbrushed portraits that look like blown-up passport pictures. He has continued to focus on this form of portraiture by experimenting with a broad variety of techniques and mediums. Often associated with Photo-Realism, Close demonstrates Minimalist aesthetics of the late 1960s, creating images in a higly disciplined manner from grids of small, modular units. The exhibition is organized by the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Before coming to Seattle it will be on view at MOMA, New York; the Museum of Contemporary art, Chicago; and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C."
