Chamber Music
Tues–Sun. Through May 19.Museums
Chamber Music is Scott Lawrimore’s first exhibit as the Frye’s curator is a series of translations with an archive in the middle. It’s 36 Seattle artists, each responding to one of the poems in James Joyce’s first published work, Chamber Music, which was put out in 1907—the year Charles and Emma Frye began collecting art. (Lawrimore wins the Most Attenuated Connections award.) In the center of the exhibition is a piece of furniture with benches and cubbyholes, where each artist can house a changing display of whatever’s most important to them. Free.
Nicolai Fechin
.Museums
Nicolai Fechin: The last time the Frye did a major exhibition of this eccentric Russian painter’s portraits was in 1976. Nordstrom had gone public five years earlier, Microsoft was a year-old start-up, and Jeff Bezos was an 11-year-old human. The paintings are bright and sometimes very, very weird.
Free.
