This exhibition of sculptural systems is inspired by early electronic instruments, ambient music, and biomorphic sculpture of the ‘70s and ‘80s. These sculptures transform the space they are in and can be utilized to transform sound sent through them, providing a call-and-response between the user and objects.
Visit our New Media Gallery page for more information.

Artist Support Program
Listening to Skid Road Friday, October 29, 7pm How do we reconcile the fact that Seattle is both a progressive, hopeful city and a place in which homelessness is such a large, growing, and deeply entrenched problem? Listen to what people working - and living - at the intersection of health and homelessness have to say. Using a collection of thirty-six oral history interviews recorded at Jack Straw Cultural Center, UW professor of nursing and Jack Straw Artist Josephine Ensign, public historian Lorraine McConaghy, and documentary filmmaker Jill Freidberg present their video and excerpts from their accompanying readers theatre script. Funding support from 4Culture. |
