Rachel Moore, Install of The Rising Sea at Traver Gallery, 2021
Known for her narrative and poetic mixed-media installations, Rachel's most recent sculptures anthropomorphize the scientific and industrial devices associated with tracking and responding to rising sea levels. With this exhibition, she offers a very human and poignant look at the lives lost and displaced by climate change. Rachel says of her recent work, "I looked at scientific indicators of climate change. The combination of both global evidence and the individual and human impact created perspectives that were undeniable and asked for attention, realization, and change." 

Rachel Moore is a co-founder of Spoke, an exhibition and event space in Chicago (2008-2011), and was a Fulbright Fellow in Greece (2009-2010). She has exhibited her work in museums and galleries nationally and internationally, including Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art, TinT Gallery, and DYNAMO (Thessaloniki, Greece); Figge Art Museum (Iowa, USA); Muskegon Museum (Michigan, USA); Pamil Fine Art Gallery (San Juan, Puerto Rico); BCA (Vermont, USA). She has received grants from Seattle Art Museum (PONCHO Award), Artist Trust in Seattle, Vermont Arts Council, and has been an artist-in-residence twice at both Vermont Studio Center and Pilchuck Glass School. She was featured on Art21's "Inside the Artist's Studio".

The Future is Bright and Wide Open at Pacific Northwest Ballet's Newest Emergence!

For tickets and information, contact the PNB Box Office, 206.441.2424 or PNB.org. Photo (c) Angela Sterling. Sometimes the whole of something can be very different than the sum of its parts and sometimes a ballet can read very differently than the intentions of the artists and choreographers of the works presented. Emergence—as a whole, not just the eponymous Crystal Pite work, is one of those cases in which, because of incredible curation, and because of placement, becomes something completely different than the stated intentions put forward for each individual work.  Emergence, consists of four very different dances. Dawn Patrol choreographed by Price Suddarth is a world premiere for the Pacifi...

An Interview with Prague Performance Artist Darina Alster: Eastern European Speculative Feminism, Performance and the Velvet Revolution!

Image
This month, CoCA (Center on Contemporary Art) and Peter Bill are presenting the work of Prague, Czech Republic performance artist and Art Star, Darina Alster, whose work deals with magic, feminism, post humanism.  Her performance packs a feminist punch that if you ever get a chance to see it will leave you forever changed.  Here is an interview that I had with the amazing post postmodern artist! Xavier: I would like to focus on your history, goals, feminism and posthumanism. And how you came up to Seattle! Peter says you have a huge following in Prague. Peter says you have a huge following in Prague. Peter Bill:  Darina is a Praha (Prague) Art Star. I wish she would talk a bit about the controversy in her studio this past semester, and how she so well defended her assistant Kača Olivová when she faced a reactionary petition against performance art! Xavier:   That is wonderful, we will definitely get to that, but first, Darina, can you please take a moment t...

Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn. World serves its own needs, don't misserve your own needs. Speed it up a notch, speak, grunt, no strength The ladders start to clatter with fear fight, down, height Wire in a fire, representing seven games. And a government for hire and a combat site. Left of west and coming in a hurry with the Furies Breathing down your neck. Team by team, reporters baffled, trumped, tethered, cropped. Look at that low plane, fine, then! Uh-oh, overflow, population, common food But it'll do, save yourself, serve yourself World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed Tell me with the rapture and the reverent in the r...
