Upcoming Events at Frye Art Museum

Green star Buster Simpson // Surveyor

Tues–Sun. Through Oct 6.

Free

Opening: Opening Sat June 15, 11-5 pm.

Buster Simpson // Surveyor: We can already thank Buster Simpson, elder of public art, for making bearable the Seatac rental car garage with his new and luminous Carbon Veil, and now he’s working on the seawall renovation that will not only look good but also keep the city from falling into the Salish Sea. This exhibition is a retrospective for Simpson, detailing his immense contribution to public art and good citizenship.

Green star Horizon

Horizon: A huge projection of a video by acclaimed media vivisectionist Paul Pfeiffer is juxtaposed with a row of 14 cherished paintings from the Founding Collection pushed close together and aligned by their horizon lines. Neat!

Green star A Night of Genius

Wed Aug 14 at 5:30 pm.

622-9250
You've by now read about the whole literature Genius Award shortlist, and you're wondering to yourself, "How can I enjoy all these geniuses in one place?" Have I got an event for you: Tonight, the Frye is home to all the finalists at the same time. You'll see Maged Zaher, Neal Stephenson, and the organizers of the APRIL Festival onstage with A&P literature editor Paul Constant for a reading and Q&A about their particular areas of genius and what Seattle-area geniuses they admire. At no other event this year will you see such great literary genius, and in such disparate categories of expertise, on one single stage. (Good thing Constant will be there to dumb things down, so nobody's brain explodes from too much thinking.)
