Art Xchange - William Hernandez, painting, "Milagros"
AXIS Pioneer Square - Keagan O'Rourke, oil painting & watercolour. O'Rourke does not wish to replicate what he has seen with realism or even paint
'landscapes' so much as to make paintings with their own sense of space unbound
by convention in their response to the astonishing variety of beauty that one
experiences in the world directly, the information given to us by the sciences,
and the many syntheses and dreams omnipresent in culture. O’Rourke was a
photographer long before he was a painter, and will always do photography-- so
painting for him is about exploring painting's own endless dripping colorful
possibilities.

Behind every great game is a team of talented artists that build worlds, design characters, and determine the look and feel of your gaming experience. The unique exhibition of art will delve into the personal work of the artists who created some of the most loved video games of the century. Join the art team from Bungie studios (the folks that brought you Marathon and Myth) as they show off their talented artists and give you a sneak peak at the world they are building from the exciting new game, Destiny. This show is must see for any gaming fan. Featuring: Joseph Cross, Jamie Jones, Jesse Van Dijk, Ryan Demita, and Dorje Bellbrook. Curated by Siolo Thompson and Bungie Art Director, Christopher Barrett.
"Steamcon V: Around the World" at the Bellevue Hyatt Regency, Friday-Sunday, 25-27 October. Featuring merchants, artists, performances, music (including Abney Park!), games, demonstrations, costumes, food, and more! Check out my (Braden Duncan's) "Mechanical Aviary" in the Art Exhibition, and say hi to Blue Moon Designs, Echo Chernik, Lastwear, Stray Cat Armoury, Tyrranical, Piratical Treasures, and more in the Hall of Vendors!
"Bemis Fall 2013 Artist Open House" at Bemis Arts, 26-27 October. This event is one of two events we hold each year to showcase resident artists work as well the work of guest artists who come to share their work and fabulous energy with all of us. Our other event is held in the Spring, so watch for it, and be sure to come. This month, we will be helping you to celebrate Halloween with creativity, merriment, song and fabulous company. We will have guest artists showing on two floors, music on the 4th floor. Artist lofts will be open so you may see works in progress, meet the artists, and enjoy this stunning building and the unique artists’ lofts that most have yet to see. This really is a very unique building that is as much a part of the fanfare as are the artists and their work. We hope to see you all here with your bright and shining smiles. Costumes are joyfully encouraged; some of us will be dressing up all weekend!

ONGOING:
The SAAM is featuring "A Fuller View of China, Japan & Korea." The exhibition runs through 13 April 2014. Dr. Richard Fuller’s 40 years as the museum’s founding director are the bedrock of its history, and his passion for art resonates with collectors of his time and beyond. In commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the Seattle Art Museum, this installation shows how Dr. Fuller, his family and friends, and several more recent Seattle collectors, built SAM’s celebrated Asian art collections. Featuring some of SAM’s best-loved works such as the Poem Scroll with Deer, the installation showcases the incredible quality and diversity that make SAM’s Asian art collection one of the finest in the country. The selected Chinese paintings and calligraphy also celebrate the launch of an innovative online scholarly catalogue, a multi-year project sponsored by the J. Paul Getty Foundation.

The SAM is currently featuring a multitude of exhibits! Check out:
"Peru: Kingdoms of the Sun and the Moon." Discover the mysteries of Machu Picchu, treasures from royal tombs and archeological wonders from one of the cradles of civilization in Peru: Kingdoms of the Sun and the Moon. More than 3,000 years of artistic history reveal a land of rich complexity and startling beauty. This unusually wide-ranging exhibition covers archeology, ancient rituals, royal ceremonies, conquest and colonization, the formation of the republic and the emergence of a new national identity. Experience the unfolding of culture through the creative achievements of Peru, from gold funerary masks to modern folk art. The Seattle Art Museum is proud to be the only U.S. venue presenting this spectacular exhibition of more than 300 works, including national treasures never before seen outside of Peru. (from seattleartmuseum.org)
"Fifty Works for Fifty States: The Dorothy and Herbert Vogel Collection," spanning 4 decades and over 5000 works of art, the Vogels gifted each of the 50 states with 50 works a piece. These are the pieces on display in WA State, and the rest of the collection can be seen at the National Gallery in Washington, DC. Show closes Sunday, 27 October.
"Minimal Art and Its Legacy." As a reaction to the dominance of abstract painting in the 1940s and ‘50s, many artists in the 1960s turned in new directions. A growing consideration for an object’s relationship to its surrounding space and an interest in supplanting the subjective, expressive gesture of the painter with a rational pre-determined method marked much of the new work. Show runs through 3 November.
"In a Silent Way," photographic reflections on African American identities and histories. Show runs through 1 December.
"William Cordova: Machu Picchu After Dark," installation sculpture. Show runs through 19 January 2014.
"From Abstract Expressionism to Coloured Planes." Early in the 1940s, artists in New York began to develop an expressive, abstract style of painting that was a stark departure from previous ideas, both artistically and historically. Up until World War II, the center of artistic production in the West had been Paris, and artists from around Europe, the United States and South America had flocked there to study and to work. This changed profoundly in the 1940s. Featuring Arshile Gorky, Hans Hoffman, Jackson Pollack, and Lee Krasner.
