It's a remarkable feat and makes Tracy Grubbs one of our most collected and accomplished artists.

diorama at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, and
its 7ft tall 14ft wide freestanding frame commands attention. From the
side the installation is flat and lifeless, but as a viewer squares
their gaze with the frame, the composition dramatically solidifies.The installation will be up until 8 November. Hall Spassov Gallery - "Freeze, Thaw..." by Tracy Taylor Grubbs.

"Oddmall: Emporium of the Weird" at the Holiday Inn in Everett, Saturday-Sunday, 22-23rd November. Oddmall is more than just an ordinary craft show. It’s a celebration of uniqueness, creativity, imagination, and wonder where artists, crafters, and like-minded sorts gather to offer their unusual creations for public consumption. It’s a forum for creative expression, a classroom for esoteric wisdom, a soapbox for wild ideas, a miraculous marketplace of the unconventional, a metaphorical Serengetian watering hole where the zebras and wildebeests of inspiration and artistry congregate amidst the snapping crocodiles and scorching sunbeams of originality and ingenuity! It’ll be fun. Trust me.
ONGOING:
The SAAM is featuring "Deco Japan: Shaping Art & Culture 1920-1945" Jazz. Gin. Short hair and short skirts. The modern girl. The rise of film, and the advent of skyscrapers and air travel. After World War I, the world was changing rapidly. With the machine age came an increased emphasis on speed. The art world answered with Art Deco, which had a driving energy that found expression in its use of themes from cultures all over the world, wild appropriation of other art forms, and graphic designs with fast lines that could be adapted and used on everything from housewares to posters, and for everything from politics to advertising. By World War II, Art Deco had left its mark on almost every medium of visual art.Through 19 October. (from www.seattleartmuseum.org)
The SAM is currently featuring a multitude of exhibits! Check out:
"City Dwellers: Contemporary Art from India" Bollywood
movie culture, venerated politicians, religious traditions, and art
historical icons all contribute to the myriad of influences in
contemporary urban Indian culture. The artists in this exhibition pay
tribute to this multitude even as they introduce elements of irony,
introspection, and critique. Through their photography and sculpture,
the artists negotiate diverse
ideas and influences on contemporary Indian society—Hindu mythology,
Bollywood movies, Indian and western art, and icons of everyday life in a
global market economy. Many of the works are influenced as much by
popular movie culture and the use of digital technology as by the
conventions of religious ritual and street processions, traditional
theater, and dance. Come see the colorful, contradictory, and complex
India of today through the works of some of the country’s leading
artists. Show runs thru 15 February 2015.

Seattle!
Support your
