'Tropical Rush' at Open Satellite
Argentine-born artist Sergio Vega's ongoing project El Paraiso en el Nuevo Mundo (Paradise in the New World) has been called, by critic Holland Cotter, "part religious history, part fictional epic, and part tropical heat dream." It's a series of photographs, sculptures, videos, and diaries documenting Vega's relationship to a 1650 book by the same name. For a new chapter at Open Satellite, Vega expands his focus on colonialism and resettlement into glittering Klondike gold rush territory. (Open Satellite, 989 112th Ave NE, Bellevue, 425-454-7355. Opening 6:30–9:30 pm, free.)
