Live Video Recording by Wynne Greenwood

COURTESY OF THE ARTIST

There are fixed objects by Seattle artists in the Frye’s big fall show—paintings, photographs, sculptures, and videos by Jeffry Mitchell, the Black Constellation, Anne Fenton, and Buster Simpson, to name a few. But the distinguishing feature of Mw [Moment Magnitude] is that it stages the creation of new works. For two days, artist/musician/magical unicorn (and Stranger Genius) Wynne Greenwood will record a music video—inside a re-creation of her past installation The Women’s Spa—for the songs “Mirrors” and “Dresser” from her recent album, A Fire to Keep You Warm. Check the schedule for live performances by other artists, too. (Frye Art Museum, 704 Terry Ave, www.fryemuseum.org, 11 am–7 pm, free; continues Fri Oct 26, 11–5)
