2007-2008 Season

Shawn Patrick Landis
Boundaries of Vacancy
December 6 - 28, 2007

reception DECEMBER 6 2007, 6 – 8 p.m.

Gallery4Culture is pleased to new sculpture and an installation by Seattle artist Shawn Patrick Landis.

In a new room-sized installation, Landis defines the negative space around objects and simultaneously revealing the shape of air.

A bizarre backyard scene is created in the gallery when various sections of the yard and objects are upholstered in translucent nylon fabric and then encapsulated within inflated clear vinyl cubes. The mélange of blown up transparent pillows and the monochrome fabric highlight the collision of atmosphere and form.

A reception will be held on December 6, 2007, 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 December 6 - 28, 2007.

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. For more information about this program call 206. 296.8674.

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. Sadly, Mickey died this year. 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.
