New Gallery Opening - The Open Studio Project: A Place to Explore Possibilities & Challenge
Dear friends,
Please come to the opening of my new gallery space. The Open Studio Project will be an exercise in exploring, trying, presenting, and leaning into the sharp edges. I’ll have this space for the next several months through the help of Storefronts Seattle. Through OSP , I’ll present visual art, music, video, interactive sound and video installations, and site-specific work. I also look forward to other projects that may be thought of by you, me, or anyone else that dances differently.
I’m excited to have my good friend and past collaborator Rulon Brown present a new interactive installation entitled RESTLESS. In addition to the installation, he will debut his new jewelry designs and present nightly performances starting June 6 at 5:30 pm, First interactive performance w/ repeat shows every half-hour till 8:30 pm. The shows continue 6 pm nightly through June 16.
You may remember Rulon; he is the leader of the band I toured Nicaragua with earlier this year. I will play a special matinee concert, 2pm, Saturday, June 15 with Rulon, Jeff Busch, & Bill Horist. We will play Rulon’s music that we toured in Nicaragua.
I’m really excited about this space, and all the possibilities. I hope you will join us!
Many Thanks,
Paul
