HENRY ART GALLERY
15th Ave NE and NE 41st St, 543-2280.

* TRISHA BROWN

"Dancer and choreographer Brown has made exhibiting her dances easier by collaborating with visual artists, and collecting compelling artifacts... the idea of collaboration--not just between people, but between art forms and between the past and the present--may very well be this exhibition's true subject." (Emily Hall) Through July 18.

* ELLEN GALLAGHER

Final Week. Three sets of works, some of which are directly about race, some of which are more neatly oblique. The best are the white-on-white (and that, one imagines, is deliberate) cutouts of monstrous fish and imaginary islands. Through April 18.

MUSEUM OF GLASS
1801 E Dock St, Tacoma, 253-284-4750.

* SANDY SKOGLUND

Final Week. Two new photographs by Skoglund, with the full-sized installations created for them. Her work, which cheerfully messes with the everyday (as in my personal favorite, a cocktail party populated by mannequins, with everything covered in Chee-tos) can sometimes verge on the too-sweet, but there's almost always an undercurrent of darkness. Through April 18.

SEATTLE ART MUSEUM
100 University St, 654-3100.

* CHRISTIAN MARCLAY

This exhibition, which is mostly made up of Marclay's art objects--rather than his performance and audio work--also features Video Quartet, a 15-minute, four-channel video that you should drop everything and run over to the museum and see immediately. Through April 25.

TACOMA ART MUSEUM
1701 Pacific Ave, 253-4258.

* SAYA MORIYASU, DAVID TRAYLOR

I'm a huge fan of Moriyasu's ceramic serving people. They're both wry and uncomfortable--not as easy a combination as you'd think. Traylor somehow makes ceramics look like metal. Opening reception Sat April 17, 6-9 pm. Square Room, 1316 E Pike St, 267-7120. Through May 4.

SEEING AND DOING

I loved the bright language of this press release ("clean little training devices for messy situations"), but I don't know what it means.... I think it has something to do with spring cleaning. Opening reception Sat April 17, 6-9 pm. Crawl Space Gallery, 504 E Denny Way, 817-5328. Through June 15.

ALICE TIPPET, BONNI REID

Paintings with an irreverent perspective on history. Opening reception Sat April 17, 6-9 pm. Joe Bar, 810 E Roy St, 324-0407. Through April 30.
