PICA’s TBA:07 is Coming: Take Action Now
The Time-Based Art Festival 2007 is coming up in a few weeks. Now is the best time to peruse schedules, purchase tickets, and ask your friends for rides to Portland. As part of the festival, The TBA Institute will be presenting a series of workshops, panel discussions and conversations featuring TBA artists.
The first workshop, which will be held on September 7th, will feature Chilean artist Cristián Silva, the artist behind TBA:07 project, The Non-Green Garden. This workshop requires registration and will fill up fast – the deadline is August 30th.
Advance registration is required for this workshop-please call the TBA Central Box Office at 503.224.PICA. $10 members, $15 general.
Cristián Silva was born in Chile and lives and works in Guadalajara, Mexico, since 2001. His work has been exhibited at the Jack S. Blanton Museum of Art (Austin, TX), The Project (New York), Museo Carrillo Gil (Mexico City) and the VII Bienal de la Habana (La Habana, Cuba). He has taught Contemporary Art History, Composition and Color at several institutions in Chile and Mexico, and is exploring color and visual design for his current TBA:07 project, The Non-Green Garden.
Silva’s “The Behavior of Color” workshop will illustrate the basic aspects of how we perceive and can use color as a vehicle for expression and communication. Based largely on the principles dictated by Josef Albers’ seminal class “The Interaction of Color,” it will feature elements helpful for both absolute beginners and more advanced enthusiasts/practitioners of the visual. Cristián Silva will base part of this workshop on the analysis of images previously submitted by the participating community.

Seattle Art News is Back in Town
If this blog has been too silent lately, it's because I've been on vacation, traveling by train no less. Trains don't have much in the way of wireless access (a helpful character I met on the way attributed this to EMF fields). But I'm back and up to my regular scouting, detecting, and sleuthing of Seattle's art venues.
