The Estate of Su Job, 4Culture and Artist Trust were delighted to present Johnathan Heath Lambe aka Maxx Lexington the inaugural Conductive Garboil Grant at a June 11th event in Gallery4Culture.
Envisioned and endowed by artist Su Job before her passing in December 2008, the Conductive Garboil Grant is a new, non-restricted award of $3,000 for Seattle artists with a connection to the Pioneer Square neighborhood who have “demonstrated a profound ability to challenge the limits of creative discourse and its effects on our society, pushing the artistic act beyond accepted limits, definitions, or purposes while engaging audiences outside the aesthetic industrial complex.” It was Job’s wish to use funds originally designated for extended end of life care to establish the annual program. She chose Lambe as the first recipient. Lambe’s resume, bio and work samples can be viewed on myartspace.com.
