While working on a project in the Henry’s conference room, I noticed a selection of textured floral prints I’d never really paid much attention to. After a closer look I found that they were not prints at all, but a series of intricately carved Japanese Katagami stencils made from mulberry paper and cured with persimmon juice. [...]

And this week Scarecrow Video turns 20! On a [...]
Henry Open House last Friday drew over 1000 visitors – who were among the first to view the exhibition Adaptation – and the monumental work on view in this exhibition (by artists Guy Ben-Ner, Arturo Herrera, Catherine Sullivan, and Eve Sussman and the Rufus Corporation) are the stunning results from their own video adaptations from [...]
I can’t get myself together for a cohesive post until I have another coffee, but I’ve been wanting to put a few things out here: I never posted these images of Vancouver artist Khan Lee’s AMAZING paper performance in the Instant Coffee installation at Bumbershoot. Never before had a roll of newsprint combined with a [...]

Remember Team Gina from the Capitol Hill Block Party? If you weren’t an early riser that afternoon, I can say from personal experience that they made the Seattle hipsters dance (or at least, move their heads slightly more aggressively than usual). If you are a student at the University of Washington, Cornish College of the Arts, [...]
We’re gearing up for Come Together and Harrell Fletcher’s visit tonight, and really looking forward to it! Meanwhile, this post on Dangerous Chunky, an interesting post to the tune of “I love Ed and Nancy Kienholz, and I am so glad to see that Portland Art Museum is currently displaying Useful Art #5 – The Western Motel,” [...]
All this nutty hubub about “child pornography” owned by Elton John and loaned to a museum is ridiculous! That “child pornography” is a Nan Goldin photo that showed here at the Henry, as part of Akio Takamori: The Laughing Monks. “The image was seized by police from the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art in Gateshead [...]
