Anxious Objects Art Opening @ Frye
Art Opening at Frye: Anxious Objects: Willie Cole’s Favorite Brands
Anxious Objects: Willie Cole’s Favorite Brands showcases the methods, media, and themes of the artist’s earliest mature work from the late 1980s to the present. Cole is best known for assembled, mixed-media sculpture and paintings and drawings made of iron scorchmarks. He transforms throwaway and time-textured objects—such as irons, ironing boards, blow dryers, high-heeled shoes, lawn jockeys, bicycle parts, and other discarded domestic appliances and hardware—into powerful and iconic artworks, granting them new vitality and metaphorical meaning.
7-9:30pm


UNTITLED [INTERSECTION], 2007
Seattle Burners,

It's time again for performance and poetry at The Phinney Center. The
June UNTITLED [INTERSECTION] 2007 is happening on Friday 22 June at
7pm. Detail follow. Please keep the series in mind as you prepare your
art for this year's Burn. I'm always looking for new performance art
to present. We provide a great opportunity to mingle with some of the
best Seattle poets while addressing a captive audience. If you are or
know a performer who has something right for the series or if you have
an idea for it, contact me: mimiallin@gmail.com. We're taking a break
for the summer, but we'll be back at it in September.
Thank you!
A. K. Allin

Bubbalicious!
i can't tell you anything about this band. i can't tell you that this collection of musicians will fill your ears with wave after wave of ridiculously funky, all-improvised jams for hours on end. and i definitely can't tell you that you won't be able to sit still for long once the music starts.
i can't tell you any of that -- because we've never played together before.
when all that stuff happens, though, you're gonna want to be there.
This is also Verity's BIRTHDAY. Wazhma writes:

Georgetown Block Party
By the skin of our teeth, we intend to show off our gorgeous new bus-sized Birthday Cake
THIS SATURDAY at the
Georgetown Block Party
For those of you who won’t be making it to either of the other big events where the bus will be in full CAKE WALK glory, here is an opportunity to check it out as we fine tune it and bring it to fruition. Tell all of your friends, this will be So COOL. Especially if we can get the candles lit on Saturday, which I believe we can. There are two lit in my driveway right now.
This event is fun for the whole family, a genuine good time-- we will be featuring the "Pocket Lady" game for fundraising fun (everyone's a winner!), and you can check out the Power Tool Races while you’re there! Whooeee!
Something to tell the grandkids about! Or impress your co-workers with on Monday morning!
Hope to see you there. Bevin

The “Buddies” show opening
It's been a while since a worthy event so here it is!
Saturday June 23rd in Georgetown!

Cartoons and photography combine to create a compelling new exhibition at
Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery in Seattle. “Buddies,” featuring paintings and
comics by Peter Bagge and photographs by Lance Mercer, opens Saturday June 23.
These two artists working in different media share a sensibility unique to
Seattle’s cultural environment.

Peter’s paintings of Buddy Bradley and his crew of lovable losers will be
publicly displayed for the first time. Bagge was a central figure in shaping the
aesthetics and chronicling the attitude of Seattle’s “grunge” era.
Georgetown-based photographer Lance Mercer has similarly fashioned a career
documenting the countercultural milieu and personalities that provided the
inspiration for many of Bagge’s comics.

The opening party for “Buddies” on Saturday, June 23 from 5:00 to 8:00 PM
highlights a daylong celebration of the arts in Georgetown. The “Georgetown
Carnival and Artopia Arts Festival” features dozens of family friendly
exhibitions and events. The carnival includes funky games, prizes, acrobats and
more. At the ever-popular Power Tool Races you can cheer for the bad ass
chainsaw-driven entry by Fantagraphics curator Larry Reid. (Just don’t get in
the way). Loads of new titles in store and the art action from noon to midnight
is free!
See you soon!

Cissy
The “Buddies” show continues through July 31 at 1201 S. Vale Street (at Airport
Way S.). We’re open every day from 11:30 – 8:00 PM (Sundays until 5:00 PM).
Phone 206.658.0110. www.fantagraphics.com.

Co-Motion @ Buddha Bar
Hey Party Volcano,

I’d like to invite you to an event I’m putting on Saturday, June 23rd in Belltown at the Buddha Bar (9pm-2am). I’m calling it Co-Motion, and it’s what I would call an artistic club night. We’ll have DJs (DJ J. Schell and Professor Direkt) dropping great tunes, a nice big dance floor, but also something artistic going on to add to the excitement (for the 23rd, MF Magazine will be partnering with us and putting on a fashion show, so we’ve got 3 fashion designers and 10 models lined up to add to the fun). If you feel inclined, it would be awesome if you could mention me in your recommendations for that weekend. If the night is a success, we plan to throw an event about once every two months.

You can view the flyers at
http://www.jasonschell.net/CoMotion.htm

You can check out other DJ related things (including mixes to download) at
http://www.jasonschell.net/dj.htm

If you’d like me to send you any more of my promos via mail, just let me know. I’d be happy to get some off to you.

Thanks a lot, Jason (or DJ J. Schell if you prefer)
