Want a perfect recipe for abstraction?<br />
<br />
Mix Video, Stumps, Dancers, CMYK, Painting and Circles.<br />
<br />
Described as "the region's most exciting practitioner of abstraction," Paul Komada doesn't just approach a project like <i>To Be Alone Together</i> from one angle, but seems to examine such a task through a prism, with a colorful and multifaceted result.<br />
<br />
Paul was given the diminutive and interchangable Doris Chase sculpture <i>Ad Lib Moon</i> to respond to with his work. It is a simple block of oak, carved into 5 circles that nest into each other and can be displayed apart or together (appropriately enough). Knowing that Paul bridges the art-craft divide in his world, including sculpture, painting, video, knitting and sewing (and probably much more), I eagerly anticipated my studio visit with him to see a magician's workshop in action.<br />

Having a spacious and well-organized space in the TK Building in Pioneer Square, Paul and his family live and work at the hub of Seattle's art scene. In order to create a working studio for Paul within their home, they built a small room in one corner of the loft, what I call the Orchid Oasis. There was no painting actively happening in the space during my visit, but the floor is splattered and streaked with every color of paint. Along one wall were the knitted, framed works, in the center of the space was a large table with a sewing project for MadArt's<a href="http://madartseattle.com/exhibits/mad-campus/" target="_blank"> MadCampus </a>and along the entire back of the room were shelves upon shelves of orchids.<br />

We struck gold by giving Paul Doris Chase to work with. He immediately noted that he felt a kinship to her for a couple of reasons. First of all, being raised in Seattle for a portion of his childhood, he attended Roosevelt High School, the same high school attended by Chase. Second, despite being more well-known for her large sculptures, Paul was inspired by Doris's early work in video, since he, too, has been experimenting with the medium.<br />
<br />
So how does that recipe go again? Dancers in circles. CMYK video. Painting stumps.<br />
<br />
For a recent exhibition at Prole Drift, Paul stationed himself and his canvases in front of a green screen and painted on top of a collection of photographs as they moved into the screen. The images overlap in his painting as abstraction that has its origins in the landscape. The show received excellent <a href="http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/watching-paul-komada-make-mysteries/Content?oid=19830797" target="_blank">press</a> and not just for his experimental painting, but for his knitted paintings as well, which I nominated for a <a href="http://www.cityartsonline.com/articles/summer-art-walk-award-finalists" target="_blank">City Arts Artwalk</a> award later that summer.<br />

<br />
But back to the landscape. Like the rest of us Northwesterners, Paul is tied to this place and its ever-changing moving parts. We are hyper aware of our surroundings and when an old building is replaced by a new shiny one, we notice. Paul had been seeing stumps around Seattle and Vashon - stumps that are the remains of hundred year old trees that were chopped in an instant for new development. For <i>To Be Alone Together</i>, Paul took hundreds of photographs of these stumps and narrowed them down to a select few to use for his green screen painting method. The stumps relate to Doris's sculpture in materiality and texture.<br />
<br />
The handy thing about a stump is that it is also a circle. Doris was clearly obsessed with the circle. They are ubiquitous in her work, so Paul decided to make the painting of the final stump one large circle, large enough that someone could fit inside the diameter of the circle if they walked right up to it. In Doris's video, <i><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bm9GWXFS9Ss" target="_blank">Circles II</a></i>, she has dancers outstretched in her circle sculptures rolling back and forth across the stage. This video was done in CMYK, so Paul decided to only use those four colors in his stump painting, with an allowance for white.<br />
<br />
What we are gifted with at the end of this tightly knit creative process is a painting that is throbbing with color in innumerable layers. This may be crazy talk, but if Paul's painting was a portal, I would walk into that juicy circle of reds, yellows and blues and walk out the other side as one of Doris's dancers, wearing a sleek leotard and a bob haircut.<br />

Having moved from the expansive landscape and saturated blue
skies of northern New Mexico to the misty forests of the Puget Sound region
about 20 years ago, Wendy was struck by the sense of being enveloped by tall
evergreen trees and dense cloud cover.
Here, the sky is less readily accessible, but more nuanced. You have to seek it out, finding openings in
canopies and cloud cover, or to access it at the edges, the seaside or on
mountaintops.</div>

</span>Her prints are
built from many layers of rolling gradations of black ink across plexiglass
plates, blotting, wiping and scraping ink and then re-rolling. Wendy repeats this process several times
before printing the plate. <span style="text-align: center;">The sense of
depth and atmosphere that she creates is astounding. You may find Wendy’s work to be quiet or contemplative with a soft poetry. At the same time, her images are bold. They hold great weight. Her prints
are about power and mystery and the very depth of being able to feel the wind
rustle through your hair or the sudden coolness as a cloud casts a momentary
shadow across a section of your arm.</span></div>

As we were looking at <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Sky
Diptych</i> Wendy asked me what I thought of it as a response to Sato’s
print.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We looked at a small digital
image of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Edged Out</i> and I think that I
said something along the lines of ‘great!’ or ‘interesting’<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(well, I think that I had more to say than
that. . .), but it wasn’t until I unwrapped Wendy’s prints at MoNA and leaned
them up against the wall next to Sato’s work that I really got it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The two works breath in unison.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Or, perhaps they are exchanging the same
breath, back and forth as though they are exchanging the sky.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s really quite moving.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You must go to La Conner and see the two
works together.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The museum is open every
day of the week—you have until January 4<sup>th</sup>—get going!<o:p></o:p><br />

Wendy does consider herself a Northwest artist.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her work is about living here and responding
to the place that she lives in an unselfconscious way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She is especially drawn to spaces with a vast
and expansive feeling and she finds those here in Port Townsend and the
Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge. The light, landscape and solitude of these
places feed her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This spring I attended the opening reception for the University of Washington MFA + MDes Thesis Exhibition at the Henry Art Gallery. It is an exhibition I make a point of attending each year so I can learn about the freshly-graduated emerging artists and take note of who I want to keep my eye on. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One of the places in the exhibition I lingered the longest was in front of the textural, constructed photographic images by Joe Freeman. I marveled at how the work had been created. It appears to be of another time and place - a graphic, dark world, surreal and of the mind. The strong impression of his photography emerged again when Emma and I were selecting artists for <i>To Be Alone Together</i>. </div>

Since I think of print photography as needing highly specialized processing equipment, chemicals and methods that are all a beautiful mystery to me, I wasn't sure what to expect visiting Joe's live/work studio in the University District. Upon entering, he apologized for the small space, though no apology was necessary. In fact, I was immediately impressed by his ability to use what may be a 300 square foot apartment with such efficiency. Along one whole side of his studio is custom built shelving, a work bench, camera storage and a darkroom. As much as Joe is aching to move to a larger space, in these 25 feet of horizontal space, everything he needs to process and maintain the labors of his practice has found its place. </div>

Because I had only just become familiar with Joe's work, and a small subset of it at that, I was especially curious to see what he would do with the prompt of the <a href="http://tobealonetogether.blogspot.com/p/works-from-collection.html" target="_blank">Michael Spafford piece</a>, <i>Three Swimmers No 1</i>. It turns out the highly organized, tailor-made aspects of his tiny apartment find their way into his photography as well. But before we get a sneak peak to what Joe is working on, lets look at the beautiful piece of equipment he is using to do the work.<br />

The Linhof 5x7 is a work of art in and of itself, a design that recalls another era. Not only does it command a particular reverence, but also complete focus - one can't rush through the process of taking the photograph. When Joe uses the camera, he said he enters a different mindset, a zen state. With the drape over his back, alone in the landscape, time melts away and a half-hour can go by simply composing the image. Its the first time I've had the opportunity to look through such a camera, and I could immediately understand his sentiment. The image itself is upside down when looking through the camera, and Joe feels this inherent abstraction helps him pay attention to the formal aspects of the image rather than the object as we know it. </div>

The image above, just a beginning to the work he developed for <i>To Be Alone Together</i>, is his way of deconstructing a particular space and reconstructing it in a new way. It relates well to the Spafford piece in that Spafford also created an image that is flat and dimensional at the same time. By utilizing a flat focus for the entire image, and then breaking up our field of view with the string, Joe is effectively doing what Spafford does with his horizontal lines broken up by the three swimming figures. Despite the simplicity of both images, our eyes are captured within the picture plane and move through the image and sense of depth constructed by the artists. </div>

As one can imagine of someone who takes the "slow approach" to wilderness photography, Joe prefers to be alone. "Its nice having comfort when I'm working, but that gets old pretty quick, and there's this real need and desire to be completely isolated." I can see him out there in the wilderness, nimble and energetic, but with a sense of mystery exuded by his work. I imagine him cutting branches and tying strings to trees and standing under the drape of his camera, which would look pretty crazy to a passerby. I asked him if curious people tend to approach him when he is working. He said "They see me out there, typically wearing Filson stuff, because of thorns, and I've got machetes strapped to me and I've got axes, and I've got this weird hat that I wear because stuff is falling, and they tend to leave me alone."</div>

I met with Emma on a rare, stormy summer evening. The clouds were rolling in outside her Queen Anne live/work studio overlooking Elliott Bay. As we talked over dinner, thunder rumbled in the distance, and rain threatened. Like many artists, Emma shares her living space with her work space. For a curator, visiting live/work studios are especially enlightening and a privilege to see the how personal space may be informing the work.</div>
<br />
For full disclosure, not only is Emma a participating artist and the co-curator of <i>To Be Alone Together</i>, but I've known Emma for several years now, and have had the honor of being her friend as she developed as an artist. Her first solo show in Seattle was at the Center for Wooden Boats Boathouse Gallery, a new gallery effort we spearheaded together to bring more art to South Lake Union and infuse the Boathouse space with new energy. At the time she was engaged in a body of landscape photography entitled <i><a href="http://emmajanelevitt.com/section/147901_Time_amp_Tide.html">Time & Tide</a></i>, a mesmerizing series of color images taken on a broken medium format camera, where the film would advance in unpredictable ways.<br />

You see, Emma loves to explore our Northwest landscape and experiment and infuse the element of the unknown into her work. As I've discovered through the years, as she has immersed her practice in printmaking and book arts, she is wholly fascinated with materials and finding new and interesting ways to manipulate them, or one might say, discovering how to let them manipulate her. She is most at home in her work when she can let go of any preconceived notions of what she should be making and just play with materials to see what happens. <br />

On the night of our stormy studio visit she described working as an artist in <i>To Be Alone Together</i> as a challenge for just that reason. The problem is that she is walking the line between curator and artist, jumping from one to the other as necessary, often within the same day. While enjoying the curatorial process very much, as an artist Emma has found it hard to break away from what she knows about the project and the <a href="http://www.jeremylepisto.com/bridge-series.html">Jeremy Lepisto bridge piece</a> assigned to her, to just let herself play with materials as she normally would. <br />
<br />
Despite working within these limiting parameters, she is pulling in a few comfortable "languages," as she calls them. For <i>To Be Alone Together</i>, those are paper, cyanotype, and paper folding/cutting. Drawing from the form and concept of the Lepisto glass piece, she is developing a series of works on paper that reveal her minimalist, sculptural tendencies. "I like work that is subtle and smart, where as much information as possible has been stripped away," notes Emma when describing how she felt inspired by Lepisto's luminescent bridge, that to her, looks more like a vessel underwater.<br />

"I was really interested in the idea that I could create something out of one piece of paper, and the folding and cutting of it could generate something different…I like the secret world that exists behind the piece. I was compelled by this shape and idea of water, a bridging structure that was connected, but separated at the same time. I started to get excited about this very simple suggestion of three dimensional space."<br />
<br />
After her first couple of experiments with an accordion fold and blue gouache, Emma decided to simplify the concept and use geometry and exacting measurements to play with circles on silky Japanese paper. (Shown below is Kitakata, one of my personal favorites). Compelled by the elegance of the sliver shape of the Lepisto piece, Emma's cuts and folds create bridges and rhythm between the circles, much like the motion of waves.<br />

Next in her experimentation with these materials will be to introduce the photo/print process of cyanotype to the work. "I've been very seduced by cyanotype in the last year or two," she says. Her recent work with cyanotype in artist books and prints exemplify her ability to harness this medium and to use the brilliant blue to great effect.<br />

As usual, I am in awe of Emma's tenacity. Not only was she willing to take on the challenge of acting as both curator and artist in <i>To Be Alone Together</i>, (at the same time teaching workshops and still pursing her MFA at University of New Mexico) but she moved through the initial hurdle of over-thinking the work to harness her own voice and try something completely new to her practice.<br />
<br />
As we clean up and notice the time and impending storm still brewing, I ask our final question. "To be alone or together, Emma?"<br />
<br />
"Ah! I've been debating this for weeks!" she says with alacrity. "Both? I think I'm an extraordinarily extroverted introvert. I need that time and space to be together, but I can't do it without the solitude. I need a good amount of personal space. More than I often give myself."<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">And while this looks pretty lovely and relaxing, I must say, interviewing a poet was a bit of a challenge. Don't let this photograph fool you--Michelle is serious about words. She listened carefully, examining the specific verbiage and context of each of my inquiries. If Michelle were not so delightful to be around, this would have been entirely unsettling. Michelle, herself, is astoundingly masterful in her ability to select and arrange language. Her poetry is smart and direct and poignant and really, truly, overwhelmingly beautiful. Beautiful in both its rhythm and its precision, and also in the manner in which she manages to describe people, relationships, places and the reality of existence in ways that are in equal measure delightful and difficult.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Michelle thinks of her poems as dedications—not in the Casey Kasem type way—of course they are less cheesy and way more eloquent. They are dedications to people, often to her mother, to god, to her father, to all three or to someone else altogether or to a place. She often writes in first and second person, as though she is speaking directly to these people or giving them voice to speak through the poem. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">For the last year Michelle has been working on a project called Landscape / Heartbreak. She describes this project as a “literary cartography of heartbreak in Seattle collected and rendered through a chapbook of poems and maps.” It’s pretty simple: people take Michelle on walks from Seattle’s </span><a href="http://hugohouse.org/" target="_blank">Richard Hugo House</a> <span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">(Michelle is a Made at Hugo House Fellow this year) to specific places in Seattle where they’ve had their hearts broken. They talk about their heartbreak and the landscape along the way and then Michelle writes poems and creates maps in response to these walking conversations.</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Michelle explains, “I'm interested in itineraries--poems based in movement through landscape and the way that movement leads to epiphany, meditation, and memory. Also, I am invested in poetry as a means to process trauma; I'm fascinated by the way we form our memories within the context of our physical landscapes. How do our physical surroundings mark our internal landscapes? How do we respond to returning and traversing our landmarks? What kind of story can a city tell if this isn't just the corner of Broadway and John, but the corner where X learned that Y never really loved him? Or if this isn't just the hospital across the street from your favorite coffee shop, but the place where Z told her mother she loved her for the very last time? How does access to the narratives of the people in a city change the way we experience that city's physical landscape? “ In this way, Michelle’s current work is very much caught up in our local landscape and the ways in which its inhabitants negotiate being alone and being together. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Michelle does not consider herself to be a Northwest poet. Born in Michigan and mostly raised in Tennessee, the daughter of two immigrants, Michelle believes that the label of "Northwest Poet" betrays the complexity of her personal and familial history. She considers herself to be a poet who chooses to live in Seattle. However, having lived in the Northwest for several years now, she agrees that the place, the weather and the people have certainly seeped into her work.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">For <i>To Be Alone Together</i> Michelle is exploring a new way to combine poetry and place. Michelle was assigned this quote from Barbara Straker James, Curator Emeritus at MoNA:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"The Museum of Northwest Art is dedicated to the art of this region. The idea of a "special Northwest vision" and the museum that emerged from it owes its genesis to the artists who came of age in the cultural isolation of the late 30's and 40's. Never a school, neither wholly consistent, nor totally inclusive it nevertheless succeeded in creating a fresh language and new imagery which established a regional identity for the first time. But time and art move on -- like rivers of the Northwest which are narrow at their source and broad as they sweep down into the valleys; art defies limitation, ignores restraints, moves on in endless flow, redefining itself, absorbing new influences, facing new challenges. The Museum of Northwest Art reflects this flow."</span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Unfamiliar with much of the work that this statement refers to, Michelle turned to the artwork itself to begin to understand the idea of this "special Northwest vision." It is the artworks themselves, along with the museum, as their home, that Michelle will draw upon for her new work. After visiting MoNA Michelle was particularly struck by a multi-paned skylight that illuminates the stairwell and the gallery space. For the exhibition she is working on a new poem that utilizes the space of the skylight and takes its form from the idea of stanzas that could work alone and together. In creating this work, Michelle discussed a poetic structure called a <i>ghazal </i>(pronounced “guzzle”) for a starting point for her poem.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Ghazals are comprised of a series of couplets that are related, but are not sequential or in a strict narrative. Michelle explained this poetic structure to be as though each set of lines is a bead within a necklace; each bead can be appreciated independently, but when strung together, the arrangement of beads forms a necklace. While Michelle's poem will not technically be a ghazal, each stanza will reference one of the works selected from MoNA's collection for the <i>To Be Alone Together</i> exhibition. And, barring any major technical challenges, each stanza will be installed on a panel of the skylight in vinyl lettering. Viewers will read the poem through shadows cast on the floor by the lettering in the skylight. The parts of the poem that are visible will change as the light shifts over the course of the day.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">This is a new way of composing a poem for Michelle. Rather than starting with language or a story, she has started with the skylight as a space and has let that create the literal and conceptual boundaries of the work. She shared that this new approach to writing a poem is exciting. It is also scary.

I’ve gotten a sneak peak at a draft of the poem and can say that I think it is phenomenal.</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
In his work, Nate condenses, collapses and implodes
landscapes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He is interested in real
data points—be it the specific topography of the Puget Sound basin or panoramic
views as observed from particular peaks in the North Cascades.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nate is intrigued by the idea that we seek
out these places, in solitude, to have transformative experiences that connect
us to things greater than ourselves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At
the same time, he is a bit cynical at the idea of seeking out—of pursuing—such
an experience.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In restructuring the
landscape, Nate’s work requires viewers to reconsider and redefine their relationship
to space and to place and to the universe. At times Nate’s work puts you at the center of it all and
dwarves you by packing in an impossible density of information about the
landscape that surrounds you. In other
works, he shrinks and condenses space and time in ways that make you feel
particularly large, but moved to consider the details of a landscape shrunk so
small that you peer into it, as though staring into a crystal ball.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
For <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">To Be Alone
Together</i> Nate will be creating work in dialogue with a large Paul Horiuchi
collage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the time of our visit, Nate
was very much entrenched in considering how to respond to the Horiuchi
piece.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He is compelled by the work’s atmospheric
quality—in the way in which it speaks to a soft, misty light and by the absence
of any figure or horizon line within the work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Nate has given himself a couple of parameters: fog and photography.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Both wrestle with light, one in its
dispersal, the second in its capture.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He
is mid-stride in generating methods in which to capture light as it is
dispersed.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the past, Nate has used photography as a component in his
sculptural works, but seldom does he ask his photographs standalone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He wonders if just taking a photograph is too
easy?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For this new work, Nate is posing
for himself the challenge of how to make a photograph be enough on its own,
rather than as one of many elements in a sculpture.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Is there a way to multiply or to distill the
image or to alter the basic photographic materials and imagery to their essence
in a way that moves beyond a snapshot or a traditional landscape image? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When does a photograph become more than a
record of an event, an expression or a place?<o:p></o:p></div>

Nate shared with me a range of artists and artistic
approaches that are influencing his thoughts and his process for this new piece

Thus, two Saturdays in June and July, nearly all of the artists in <i>To Be Alone Together</i> were able to make the trip up to La Conner to view the works selected for them in the MoNA collection. Artists studied the works, explored the gallery for ideas on site-specific pieces, and learned more about the collection from MoNA Exhibitions Director Lisa Young. And no trip to La Conner would be complete without stops at the farm stands and ice cream parlors!<br />
<br />
Thanks to all the artists who took time out of a precious summer Saturday to join us, and thanks to Lisa for making the collection so accessible.<br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">The following quote is one that sits permanently on the walls of the MoNA Gallery. Barbara Straker James joined MoNA as Curator in 1995, and built the MoNA collection (now numbering approximately 4,000 pieces) until her retirement in 2002. Barbara was married to artist Clayton James, painter and sculptor. James's painting, <i>Yellow Night</i> , is included in this exhibition, being paired with work by Aaron Haba. Seattle poet Michelle Penaloza will work from Barbara's quote, as well as take a more global view of the exhibition and the history of Northwest Art through her work. </span>

<br />
<i><b>To Be Alone Together</b></i> is an exhibition co-curated by artist Emma Jane Levitt and curator Shelly Leavens, through the Dana and Toni Ann Rust Curatorial Fellowship at the Museum of Northwest Art in La Conner, Washington. The exhibition uses the framework of pairing eleven contemporary Northwest artists with eleven works from the Museum of Northwest Art’s permanent collection. The contemporary artists will be asked to respond to a chosen piece in the collection and to create new work based on that response.<br />
<br />
The primary goal of <i>To Be Alone Together</i> is to connect contemporary artists across disciplines with MoNA’s permanent collection in a way that creates a dialog with the past and leaves room for the unknown. The exhibition will look closely at the ways in which both the ephemeral and the tangible experiences of living in a particular place have and continue to influence communities of artists. The exhibit will explore the creative capacity of this legacy and its future by providing the opportunity for a multi-modal dialogue on our shared light, landscape, character and community.<br />

Artworks chosen for <i>To Be Alone Together</i> from the MoNA collection were selected on the basis of three ideas: light, solitude and community, which the curators find to be prevailing themes in the philosophy and process of historical and contemporary Northwest artists. As opposing as the latter two themes are semantically, artists in the Northwest seek both in equal amounts. <i>To Be Alone Together</i> uses a cross-disciplinary approach to pairing the collection works and the contemporary artists because it allows for artists to experiment with a new approach if they so choose, and it develops the artist’s understanding of a disparate process. For example, a video artist may be paired with a Paul Horiuchi collage. <br />
<br />
<div>
Like the vast tide flats and fields of the Skagit Valley and the meandering sloughs that run through them, there is an open willfulness to the Northwest artist community and a continuity in the iconic light of sky and water that seeps its way into artists’ work. <i>To Be Alone Together</i> will visually mimic this concept as well as provide a vehicle for contemporary artists willing to engage with the past. The project will be a path for artists to engage with community, yet take time in the studio or landscape to create new work and take risks.<br />
<br />
Leading up to the project this blog will provide a publicly accessible platform for images, recorded stories and readings as the curators proceed with the project. Content will be generated from collections research, studio visits and community discussions of artists’ work. <br />
<br />
The exhibition will open in October 2014. During the exhibition’s timeframe, a public presentation will take place at the Museum. An artist panel moderated by the curators will present on their experience working from pieces in the permanent collection. <br />
