One of the biggest customers? The city issues come itself. And it does little to into focus monitor the moonlighting. $1,000 A DAY By WILL WRIGHT The New York Times The first week of the Derek Chauvin trial was marked by emotional accounts from by- standers who witnessed the 9½ minutes that the police pinned George Floyd to the ground. But the second week struck a differ- ent chord, highlighting testimo- ny from medical and law en- forcement experts that focused on the conduct of Chauvin and the cause of Floyd’s death. Those witnesses hit on the key issues of the trial: what exactly killed Floyd, and whether Chau- vin violated police policies on use of force.

    PRESS Press Contact Rachel Eggers Associate Director of Public Relations [email protected] RELEASE 206.654.3151 FEBRUARY 4, 2021 SEATTLE ART MUSEUM PRESENTS BARBARA EARL THOMAS: THE GEOGRAPHY OF INNOCENCE Seattle artist’s first solo exhibition at SAM features new cut-paper and sandblasted portraits in an immersive, light-filled installation SEATTLE, WA – The Seattle Art Museum (SAM) presents Barbara Earl Thomas: The Geography of Innocence (November 20, 2020–November 14, 2021), the first solo exhibition at SAM for the celebrated Seattle-based artist. Featuring nearly all new work, the exhibition reflects Thomas’s longtime explorations: light and shadow, perception and knowledge, Black lives and experiences, and the limits and possibilities of empathy. In this exhibition, Thomas asks: “How do you read a face, and what are your expectations when you enter its terrain?” The Geography of Innocence is installed in the museum’s Gwendolyn Knight & Jacob Lawrence Gallery and the adjacent hallway gallery. The visitor first enters an immersive, light-filled installation. The gallery’s three walls are sheathed in backlit, intricately cut Tyvek panels, creating a lantern-like glow. In the center of each wall is an “altar,” with a backlit portrait in sandblasted glass and a corresponding hand-blown glass candelabra. In the center of the gallery is the only previously exhibited work, premiering for the first time in Seattle: Falling: Bodies in the Matrix (2017), a 12-foot luminaria formed of hand-cut Tyvek panels with highly detailed imagery. After the immersive installation, the visitor enters a hallway flanked by a series of 10 cut-paper portraits, rendered in black paper against bright, hand-colored paper backgrounds.

    WHERE DOES SEATTLE’S CREATIVE COMMUNITY GO FOR INSPIRATION? Allow us to introduce some of our city’s resident artists, who share with you, in their own words, some of their favorite places and why they choose to make Seattle their home. Known as one of the nation’s cultural centers, Seattle has more arts-related businesses and organizations per capita than any other metropolitan area in the United States, according to a recent study by Americans for the Arts. Our city pulses with the creative energies of thousands of artists who call this their home. In this guide, twenty-four painters, sculptors, writers, poets, dancers, photographers, glass artists, musicians, filmmakers, actors and more tell you about their favorite places and experiences.

    Oral history interview with Edward B. Thomas, 1983 April 28-May 10 Funding for the digital preservation of this interview was provided by a grant from the Save America's Treasures Program of the National Park Service. Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a tape-recorded interview with Edward B. Thomas on April 28 & May 10, 1983. The interview took place in Seattle, Washington, and was conducted by John Olbrantz for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. Interview DATE: APRIL 28, 1983 [Tape 1] JOHN OLBRANTZ: Ed, can you tell me a little bit about your background, where you were born, your early childhood experiences, your parents, who your father was, who your mother was, how they came to live in this part of the country? EDWARD THOMAS: Well, I was born in Cosmopolis, Washington, and many times when I've come through customs, when I was much younger and especially at the Mexican border, they would say, "Where were you born?" and I'd say, "Cosmopolis, Washington," they'd say, "Look, bud! Don't get funny with us." (laughter) But there actually is such a place as Cosmopolis, Washington. Nobody had any particular influence upon me, I would say, in my younger years as far as becoming interested in art, and particularly teaching art. I had a very severe illness when I was four and five years old and was confined to bed a lot, and so people brought me tablets and color crayons and pencils and stuff like that.

  • French Impressionism and the Northwest
    Contact: Hillary Ryan, 253.272.4258 ext 3051 [email protected] Tacoma Art Museum presents New Exhibition Monet, Renoir, Degas, and Their Circle: French Impressionism and the Northwest IMAGES AVAILABLE August 2, 2019 (Tacoma, WA)— Opening on September 28, Tacoma Art Museum will present Monet, Renoir, Degas, and Their Circle: French Impressionism and the Northwest, a new exhibition that examines how the work of French Impressionists and their immediate precursors made their way into Northwest public and private collections. It also will include selected paintings by American and Northwest artists to illustrate the spread of Impressionism across the country. “The purpose of this exhibition is deeply connected to the same passion that drove the French Impressionists, to transform the way we see,” said David F. Setford, TAM’s Executive Director and curator of this exhibition. “It does this in two ways. First, it puts rarely seen works from TAM’s European art collection into context and allows for an expanded visitor learning opportunity. In addition, it is also the first time that these Impressionist works from museums and private collections in the Northwest have been seen together. It will provide a lasting resource about French Impressionism and its historical impact for curators and collectors in our region and beyond.” Monet, Renoir, Degas, and Their Circle: French Impressionism and the Northwest was organized and curated by the Tacoma Art Museum, and includes approximately fifty (50) works of art. The exhibition is accompanied by a small publication including essays by Setford and TAM curator Margaret Bullock, as well as an online listing of French Impressionist works currently in Northwest public collections.
