Trash Talk: the Social Life of Garbage, digs into the human side of garbage: garbage men on vacation who can’t keep themselves from photographing trash cans; transfer station attendants who gather throw-away flags so they can be disposed of “properly”; suburbanites who leave plates of cookies or flowers for their garbage collectors.

Circuit
Davidson Galleries
September 2 – October 2, 2010
Free Opening Reception: September 2, 2010
Free Lectures: September 10th – 6pm @ Downtown Seattle Library | September 18, 2010 – noon @ Davidson Galleries
Grade’s work overtly engages with its surrounding environments, both architectural and natural. When indoors, his work references built space. Circuit will literally engage with the gallery’s walls. When presented outdoors, the work evolves materially. Weather patterns affect the work, and the exposed surfaces, evolve, disintegrate and morph into something new.

72 Days of Summer, a reading by Kate Lebo of poems written the summer of 2010. Also featuring performances of new poems from Kary Wayson and Martha Silano, plus new songs from Jason Dodson and Tomo Nakayama. Kate Lebo spent the summer of 2010 composing the poems that will round out her first collection of poetry, Supper So Clean. On the last day of summer, she’ll celebrate this bounty of time and creativity by reading from the manuscript. She’ll share the stage with award-winning poets Kary Wayson and Martha Silano, both of whom also received grants from 4Culture this year. Jason Dodson of the Maldives and Tomo Nakayama of Grand Hallway will round out the evening with solo sets of music.
