As I've written in this week's Fall Arts Guide, the two shows coming up in October at the Henry Art Gallery are going to be worth seeing.

In a slightly strangely timed effort, SuttonBeresCuller is giving a lecture tonight about their show, Panoptos, which doesn't open until October 1. But the talk should be interesting and get you ready to understand what they've been working on.

Here's what's coming:

'Image Transfer: Pictures in a Remix Culture,' 'Panoptos'
Young and hot and interesting artists from all around the country are coming together for Image Transfer: Pictures in a Remix Culture, while Seattle trio SuttonBeresCuller has set up a machine (Panoptos) that allows you to zoom in on the paintings hanging all the way up a very tall wall in the museum. The ideas? Nothing is original, nothing is untouched, everything already is in circulation. As artist Corin Hewitt would say, this is not just a contemporary condition, this is what it means to be born into a world that already exists. You know the feeling, now look at the pictures that describe your world. Oct 2—Jan 23 (Image Transfer), Oct 2—Feb 13 (Panoptos). Henry Art Gallery, 4100 15th Ave NE, www.henryart.org.
