2007-2008 Season

Adam Satushek
Disconnect
July 3 - August 1

reception July 3, 2008, 6 – 8 p.m.

GGallery4Culture is pleased to announce an exhibition of new photographs by Seattle artist Adam Satushek.

These large scale photographs arise from the artist wandering the landscape and discovering oddities. The found arrangement of houses and trees, two major elements of the modern domestic landscape, is isolated and preserved.

Houses shelter us from the elements; they are vessels that enable us to live comfortably in the landscape and represent our occupation of the world. Trees live among us and exist in various forms and permutations: as thriving organisms, as raw materials, and in images. In these various forms, trees manifest nature in the landscape. Houses and trees intermingle across the landscape, and exemplify the knitting of humans with nature. As we look closer, these houses and trees become transitory, illusory, and ultimately, our ideas of them become disconnected from their functions.

A reception will be held at Gallery4Culture on July 3, 2008, the first Thursday of the month, during the Downtown Artwalk, from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. The public is encouraged to attend. The exhibition will run from Julu 3 - August 1, 2008.

Gallery4Culture is located within 4Culture offices at 101 Prefontaine PL S, at the corner of Third and Prefontaine, in the Tashiro/Kaplan Building. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m., closed government holidays; the gallery is open and free to the public.

In 1979, King County Arts Commission's visual arts coordinator, Mickey Gustin Hardman, began a gallery with little more than some foam core and linen and a visionary spirit. Her legacy continues through the Gallery 4Culture program which provides artists not represented by commercial galleries with opportunities for one-person shows. She will be remembered as a fierce advocate for artists and a pivotal figure in shaping the Seattle arts community.
