【看展】
須雅摩藝術空間每年都只進行三場裝置藝術展出,每一場展出都以空間獨特的建築構造展開。派特·羅珀的這場展出展示了西雅圖歷史上各種混亂事件的兩面性。展出參照了20世紀早期西雅圖市中心的移山活動,和現下市中心的隧道挖掘工程,藝術家稱其為“當代的荒謬主義”。羅珀使用建築材料、視頻、繪畫和雕塑復原了事件中的一些模型,這些事物在現實中永遠也不可能出現,因此更不可能消失。一句話總結,西雅圖人正在尋求更高的土壤。

Patte Loper: Seeking Higher Ground
In one of the final installations ever to materialize at Suyama Space, which closes at the end of this year, Patte Loper offers two sides of a historical mess, the one we call Seattle. Referencing the early-20th-century adventure of the slicing off of downtown’s hills and the contemporary absurdity of blowing a tunnel the size of the sky out from underneath that same downtown, Loper uses construction materials, video, paint, and sculpture to evoke models of things that can never be built and yet won’t disappear. We are always Seeking Higher Ground.
When: Mon–Fri. Through Aug 19
Where: Suyama Space(2324 Second Ave, Seattle, Washington 98121)
