Seattle Art Blog - News, Discussion, and Events

Sep 28, 2007 Listening to artists discuss their work is getting to be a habit with Jen Graves, and we are the better for  it. Go to the Stranger's website this week in order to hear Anthony McCall talk about Doubling Back, currently on view at Western Bridge, and Australian artist Patricia Piccinini discuss her first American show at the Frye Art Museum, Hug. Piccinini's exhibit is up until January 6, while Doubling Back closes December 21. Shown is Piccinini's "Bodyguard."
