Spaceworks Tacoma New art installations enliven downtown
Photos Courtesy Spaceworks Tacoma Spaceworks Tacoma announced a new round of Artscapes installations in dowtown Tacoma have been unveiled this month and will be on display until the end of December. Nine new installations will brighten otherwise vacant spaces in downtown Tacoma, featuring work presented by artists Nathan Braunfeld, Brett Carlson, Priscilla Dobler, Elizabeth Gahan, Jeremy Gregory, Kristin Giordano & Mindy Barker, Kelly June Mitchell, Scott Scoggin, and Write@253. The range of projects is expansive and includes literary, film, performance and visual art. A new venue for Spaceworks is in the lobby of the Old Post Office, located at South 11th Street and A Street. Six meticulous "Meta-tinations" by Brett Carlson fill two long display cases along with tin scraps showing his art-making process. And Scott Scoggin celebrates a year's worth of poster design in 10 display cases throughout the lobby in a show called "Whew!" Scoggin will also host a one-night pop-up show on Third Thursday, Oct. 17, featuring live music and refreshments. Spaceworks and Downtown On the Go (DOTG) partnered up for this round of Artscapes to transform three sides of a vacant building at the cor-
ner of South 11th Street and Market Street. Artist Jeremy Gregory has created a block-long mural on South 11th Street. The community writing center Write@253 has filled an alley with poetry by Tacoma children. And on Market Street, artists Kristin Giordano and Mindy Barker beckon, "Humans, Join Us!™" with a crew of animals, some onestory tall, on roller skates and skateboards.
The steadfast Artscapes location of the Woolworth Windows at South 11th Street and Broadway and Commerce offers four installations to contemplate. Nathan Braunfeld presents a cross section of the Sierra Nevada with gradual moving lighting that represents the rotation of the earth. A simple and stark white installation will be transformed with color by artist Priscilla Dobler during a five-day performance in a Woolworth Window Oct. 14 through 18. Kelly June Mitchell begs "remember that you will die" while enjoying a beautiful visual sight of huge pink flowers. A "Color Wave" of cut-up political signs adorns one window by Elizabeth Gahan. Plus, across from the windows on Broadway sits The Tollbooth Gallery, which has a rotating roster of films by Tacoma filmmakers curated by Kat Ogden, on view outdoors 24/7.
