Monsen Photography Lecture: Catherine Opie »

FRI, NOV 12, 6:30 PM
Henry Auditorium

Registration is now open for this year's much anticipated Monsen Photography Lecture. The Henry is excited to welcome Catherine Opie, an artist working with photography, film, collage, and ceramics. Moving from the territory of the body to the framework of the city, Opie's photographic series are linked together by a conceptual framework of cultural portraiture. Opie's work has been exhibited extensively throughout the United States and abroad, and is held in over 50 major collections throughout the world.

Please note that the Henry requires proof of full COVID-19 vaccination or a negative test result for visitors 12 and older. Mask and social distancing requirements remain in place. Plan your visit »

This lecture will also be live-streamed on the Henry’s YouTube channel.

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...

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 Kaฤa Olivovรก 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!
