All kinds of changes are afoot these days.
Some people despair for lack of leadership/vision/consideration. Some just celebrate change for the sake of change. And some point to changes in places we don’t normally look, and say “see? now think about that.”
Such is the job of artists.
To that end, Drop City Gallery is hosting a site-specific, collaborative installation by John Fleming and W. Scott Trimble called “RECLAIM.”
We just got some of the installation’s in-progress pictures from the gallery and the exhibit’s hinting to be pretty impressive:

Here’s what Drop City folks say about the show:
Reclaim will be about change, expressed through the re-appropriation of materials collected in Seattle’s South Lake Union neighborhood. Trimble and Fleming will focus [… on] building from the castoffs they collect in the area [… and] invite us to physically travel through their constructed landscape and navigate a reclaimed environment.
I was at this gallery sometime ago for another show, and it’s pretty big; 1,400 sq ft of concrete-floored, mostly-column-less open space. It is quite rewarding to see that vast space transformed through the imagination of the creative minds.
Opening reception is on Thursday, June 12 at 5pm. There will also be an artist talk event next Thursday.
