Around the neighboorhood: Food Bridge International District, the adventure school, Uwajimaya

Here at The Adventure School we are lucky enough to be part of a great Seattle neighborhood: The International District. Yesterday for lunch we ventured out from Studio Six over to Uwajimaya food court for some Korean BBQ action and low and behold . . . FOOD BRIDGE! Awesome! Often a place with inventive displays, always a place with awesome grocery finds, Uwajimaya has outdone itself with this excellent bridge, lake and water well all constructed out of CURRY BOXES. Aviva captured it with her awesome IPhone photography skills.

Aviva’s Back From Peru! 2009, adventure, aviva palmer, Machu Picchu, Peru, the adventure school

Here at The Adventure School we consider our entire process as entrepreneurs to be an adventure and each one of our events to be adventures in themselves. But, every once in a while, that old familiar itch to hit the road strikes. And when it does . . . we do! So, a cornerstone of Team Adventure, Aviva Palmer, spent much of the month of April wandering around Peru with two faithful buddies and traveling companions, Rowan and Asa of the fine state of Vermont. They hit up Lima’s wondrous fountain park and fell in love with tasty Peruvian beverages. They made friends, bought finger puppets and generally impressed other tourists with their mad parkour stylings. We will let the wondrous images of Machu Picchu speak for themselves. If you want some sweet tips about Peruvian adventure and how to save your nuevos soles hit her up: aviva@theadventureschool.com.

Add this to your calendar. art opening, Crawl Space Gallery

Everyone knows that we are huge fans of Crawl Space Artist-Run gallery on Capitol Hill. SO this weekend in between praying for sun and seeing Wolverine and buying SIFF ticket packages, make sure to head there for the opening this weekend. They are generally ruckus affairs with some good fashion and possible faux tattoo application opportunities. We will see you there at High Living! More information below straight from the horse’s mouth . . .

HIGH LIVING

Crawl Space is pleased to present High Living, an exhibition of recent work by Seattle artist Buddy Bunting.  In austere drawings, Bunting examines landscape and architecture by exploring the poignant realities and emotional resonance of place.

Guided by personal fascination and circumstance, Bunting’s intimate sketches and large works on paper are based on travels to remote areas of western United States. While no singular narrative is intended, the enduring forms discovered in these stark landscapes touch on themes of opportunity, limitation, transience, isolation and hope.

Featured in the exhibition is a minimalist drawing of the Two Rivers Prison in Oregon installed on a thirty-two foot curved wall constructed specifically for High Living.

Buddy Bunting’s work has been shown widely in Seattle including exhibitions at Soil Gallery, Consolidated Works, and Lawrimore Project, as well as, PS122 and Artists Space in New York. He has received grants from 4culture, Artist Trust, and the Pollock-Krasner Foundation.

The SCRAWL accompanying the exhibition is written by Scott C. Davis. SCRAWL is a one-page publication presenting written response, observation, discussion or analysis of Crawl Space’s visual art exhibitions. SCRAWL is available in the gallery as well as on our website.

Crawl Space is a nonprofit artist-run exhibition space dedicated to cultivating innovative artwork by early career artists. Since opening our doors in 2003, Crawl Space has presented new works by more than 150 artists, at no charge to a public audience of over 5,000. The Shunpike provides our nonprofit sponsorship.
