Lawrimore Project is a major new Seattle gallery on the far southern fringes of downtown.  The gallery’s dramatic sequence of exhibition spaces, designed by the noted Seattle architects Lead Pencil Studio, has hosted a wide variety of cutting-edge exhibits since the Project’s debut last summer.  The current exhibition, a series of video sculptures by recent UW graduate Tivon Rice, is very much true to form: eye-catching, provocative, and one-of-a-kind.  Our art critic Gary Faigin joins us to talk about this intriguing show.

"Life after Death" at Frye Art Museum - March 2007

If German art is a brand, American collectors are buying.  No other country in Europe enjoys the prestige and attention currently afforded to German art.  The exhibition “Life after Death: New Leipzig Paintings from the Rubell Family Collection” is the most recent example of the phenomena, highlighting a group of newly-minted German art stars.  KUOW critic Gary Faigin joins us with his perspective on this latest European invasion.

In the life history of an art exhibit, which comes first, the curator or the collector?  Time was that curators were chiefly responsible for canonizing new artists and art movements, but in recent times the balance has shifted decisively in favor of wealthy art patrons and their freshly-acquired discoveries.   The young painters of the downtrodden, formerly Communist city of Leipzig clearly fall into this latter category, since they were almost completely unheralded until  their works were purchased in quantity by big-league collectors like Charles Saatchi and Don and Mera Rubell.  The source of the Seattle exhibition, The Rubell Collection, a family museum partly bankrolled from the estate of Studio 54 impresario Steve Rubell, has put its holdings of Leipzig art on tour, and the Frye is stop four on a five-stop US circuit.
