Opening Reception: Together or Separate?

The pop-up A Gallery on Occidental Park is pleased to present new work by a collection of artists, opening to coincide with the First Thursday Art Walk on September 6th, 2018. Together or Separate? is an installation that explores the conflicting desire to work toward a feeling of community while holding onto a sense of self.

Historically, shared meals have been a place of gathering, fueling cross-cultural connections and long-term relationships. However, being in a large, ever-growing city known for “the Seattle freeze,” it isn’t always a reality that every meal initiates a connection. Each artist in this exhibit has designed an individual setting with a dome to contain it. Within these domes, we investigate the concepts of isolation, the reality of living in socio-political “bubbles,” assimilation, cultural identification, environmental awareness, and what truly is the greater good. We invite our visitors to pull up a seat, contemplate creativity, and make connections.
