What Stories Would the Unintended Beneficiaries Tell takes a new look at equity, equality, our collective history, and the erasure of marginalized history. The Center on Contemporary Art Seattle (CoCA) presents What Stories Would the Unintended Beneficiaries Tell (WSWUBT), an exhibition featuring artists Monyee Chau, Bonnie Hopper, Lisette Morales, Charly ‘Carlos’ Palmer, and Carletta Carrington Wilson. WSWUBT is a group exhibition that encourages artists to peel back the layers of white-washed history and examine the 19th Amendment, a non- inclusive historical moment, through new perspectives that cannot be ignored or erased. On Aug. 18th, 1920 the 19th Amendment was ratified.

This in effect gave every female citizen the right to vote under the Constitution, although in reality it only Continue reading CoCA presents What Stories Would the Unintended Beneficiaries Tell By Southern Oregon Artists Resource, 1965 contributed posts

ARTifACTs: We Almost Didn’t Make It addresses fears, despair and grief surrounding climate change, and other ecocide assaults on the psyche of humanity From January 20 to February 24, Seattle’s Center on Contemporary Art (CoCA) will feature the activist art collective ARTifACTs with the interactive and generative gallery installation, We Almost Didn’t Make It. The exhibit focuses on the outcome of our choices in a time where the effects of our participation in the destruction of our planet seems so short-sighted. In a game-like installation, visitors will be presented with work tables covered with “ingredients” and “recipes” that make an artifact which represents aspects of our current world that may not exist in the next 150 years. Each participant will place a commitment to an action into that artifact that will help future generations not only exist, but thrive. The lead artist on Continue reading ARTifACTs We Almost Didn’t Make It January 2018 Exhibition at CoCA in Seattle By Southern Oregon Artists Resource, 1965 contributed posts

SOAR was created and is maintained by art advocate and web designer Hannah West in Jacksonville, Oregon to promote our diverse and talented arts community to our visitors and the rest of the world. Beginning September 7, the Center on Contemporary Art (CoCA) will present Spontaneous Combustion, an explosion of two performative installations simultaneously critiquing power and elitism found in the contemporary (art) world. Made up of two groups of multidisciplinary artists, this exhibition explores power dynamics through performative research, institutional intervention, and an overload of sensory experiences. Eastern Washington artists and educators, Peter Christenson and Phillip Mudd, collaborate on their project “Juried Performance,” an ongoing inquiry into the symbols, processes, and systems associated with institutionalized power and the hegemonic elite. Revolving primarily around a collection of recorded parasuicidal rituals that occurred in front of an absentee jury, the project analogizes the “juried art competition” to today’s sociopolitical climate. Videos of these performances were then mailed to nine well-known contemporary art institutions, essentially forcing review of the uncommissioned performances. The artists will perform during Pioneer Square’s artwalk.

Yenom Wen explores consumerism and backward valuation systems coexisting in an atmosphere of economic disparities and mass homelessness SEATTLE June 30, 2017 – On Thursday, August 3, 2017 C enter on Contemporary Art (CoCA) presents Yenom Wen featuring work from the Pacific Northwest artist collective, New Mystics. As a body politic, the New Mystics is a collection of degenerates from diverse disciplines: sign painting, screen printing, graffiti, performance, photography, dance, jewelry-making, street art, fabrication, tattooing, music production, painting, DJ’s & MC’s, producers and experimental musicians. Utilizing mirrors and cast-off clothing, the gallery space will force patrons to confront their material relationships. Acid-etched by the artists, mirrors reflect found clothing hung on the opposite wall. Seen through this perspective, the exhibition title, Yenom Wen, reads “New Money,” and reflects not only the seemingly-reversed morals of materialistic consumer culture, but also highlights the ease with which we are blind to problems Continue reading Yenom Wen at Center on Contemporary Art (CoCA) By Southern Oregon Artists Resource, 1965 contributed posts
