Derek Larson Crawls Through Space art opening, Crawlspace Gallery, Derek Larson, Event

Attention Adventurers!

Crawl Space Gallery, one of our favorites, is about to unveil “Liquid Crystal,” a new exhibition by Derek Larson. This project requires the artist to complete a “Studio Intensive Residency,” literally a 24/7 confinement to the gallery space preceding the show’s opening.

The rules of the Residency are reassuring: ”A hot plate, refrigerator, toilet, sink and air mattress will be provided.”

…kind of.

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.
