SUMMARY:Frye Salon + Jonathan Lasker
DESCRIPTION:Frye Salon is both a fixture and a living experiment—an ever-evolving installation that invites fresh perspectives on the museum’s founding-era collection. The gallery features more than one hundred paintings in a floor-to-ceiling presentation mode known as “salon style\,” recalling the striking displays once found in Charles and Emma Frye’s First Hill home. In Frye Salon + Jonathan Lasker\, a selection of large canvases by the contemporary American painter—subject of the concurrent exhibition Drawings and Studies—intermingle with the featured collection works. Known for his bold visual language of biomorphic forms and distinctive use of line\, Lasker uses the familiar tools of representational painting—figure and ground\, space and perspective—to destabilize the dividing line with abstraction. Situated among the works of Frye Salon\, his vibrant\, evocatively titled compositions open unexpected conversations across time\, style\, and painterly intent.

SUMMARY:Jonathan Lasker: Drawings and Studies
DESCRIPTION:For over five decades\, American artist Jonathan Lasker has approached the elements of painting like a puzzle—taking it apart\, turning the pieces\, and putting it back together in new ways. Drawings and Studies offers a close look at how his ideas take shape\, featuring works on paper that Lasker created from the 1980s to the 2020s\, tracking the refinement of his distinctive visual language. At once analytical and expressive\, these compositions play with the visual cues of figuration\, teasing allusions to portraits\, landscapes\, or still lifes through biomorphic forms and carefully choreographed marks. In Lasker’s hands\, abstraction exists in spirited tension with representation\, and the act of seeing becomes part of the story.

SUMMARY:Wallflowers
DESCRIPTION:Wallflowers is a dialogue across time centered on one of art history’s most underestimated genres: the floral still life. Bringing together eleven paintings from the Frye’s collection with newly commissioned wallpaper designs from eleven contemporary artists\, the exhibition explores how artists from the nineteenth century to the present have turned to floral imagery as fertile ground for experimentation and reinvention. \nThe floral still life genre has proven remarkably durable\, capable of holding centuries’ worth of ideas about beauty\, impermanence\, social class\, and the shifting relationship between art and craft. Today\, contemporary artists continue to redeploy the floral as both image and symbol: an unassuming bouquet is actually neither quaint nor static\, but full of cultural memory\, and a site for subversive social critique. \nStructured to mimic the delights of navigating a cultivated garden\, Wallflowers oscillates between discrete paintings and immersive patterns\, between contemplation and exuberance. The selected works tell a broader story of industrialization\, design\, and modernism’s ongoing flirtation with the decorative\, and celebrate the ability of artists to invest familiar forms with fresh meaning.

SUMMARY:Boren Banner Series: Chloe King
DESCRIPTION:Chloe King’s vividly layered\, monumental compositions project a surreal vision of contemporary existence. For their Boren Banner—the artist’s first museum presentation in Seattle—King extends their ongoing inquiry into the politics of the dance floor\, exploring Queer nightlife as a site of both refuge and risk. Drawing on the dilapidated\, improvised\, and occasionally illicit spaces that shape “the scene\,” their work considers how the dance floor becomes a stage for radical joy and collective reinvention\, where bodies move\, histories revise\, and new worlds take shape under the pulse of the strobe.

SUMMARY:Tom Lloyd
DESCRIPTION:Artist\, activist\, and community organizer Tom Lloyd (1929–1996) was an early pioneer of using electric light as an artistic medium. Working in collaboration with an engineer at the Radio Corporation of America (RCA)\, Lloyd developed a radically experimental practice in the 1960s that fused art and technology to dazzling effect. His electronically programmed sculptures—featuring rhythmic sequences of color and abstract forms—challenged popular understandings about what role the work of Black artists should play. This landmark exhibition is based on extensive new research and intensive conservation work undertaken by The Studio Museum in Harlem. \nBorn in Detroit and raised in New York City\, Lloyd worked during a moment of profound transformation in the art world\, as Black artists organized for visibility and representation. While his work was exhibited and collected during the 1960s\, Lloyd soon redirected his focus toward activism and community leadership\, becoming a founding member of the Art Workers’ Coalition and later the Store Front Museum/Paul Robeson Theatre in Queens. \nLloyd’s decision to set aside his artistic practice in favor of supporting those of other artists of African descent may have contributed to his long-standing absence from scholarship related to these decades of artistic production in the United States. Tom Lloyd shows\, for the first time ever\, twenty years of the artist’s assemblages\, electronically programmed light sculptures\, and works on paper together and alongside materials that illuminate his efforts to transform the art world in New York and beyond.

SUMMARY:Lotus L. Kang: I hear the hollow boom of time
DESCRIPTION:Lotus L. Kang creates installations that respond to the spaces they inhabit and reveal the surprising possibilities of ‘misused’ materials—specifically\, the tools of photography. In her largest museum exhibition to date\, she presents two major new installations alongside a series of works on paper\, all developed in dialogue with the Frye Art Museum’s distinctive architecture. \n\n\nInterweaving influences from poetry\, translation\, and the familial inheritance of her own Korean heritage\, Kang works iteratively\, revisiting forms and materials across her installations. For the Frye\, she creates one of her “ghostly architectures\,” installations featuring large sheets of industrial film that have been exposed to varied light sources in a process she calls “tanning\,” likening the film’s sensitive surface to skin. These are hung and draped throughout the gallery\, accompanied by sculptures made from tatami mats and cast objects. Secondly\, she will present a kinetic sculpture: evoking an enlarged ribcage\, a rotating drum wrapped in celluloid film projects shifting bands of color and light throughout the space\, its motion following a rhythmic score based on the cadence of modern Korean poetry. \n\n\nTogether\, these works explore how our bodies—and our cultural identities—are continually shaped and transformed by the environments we move through.

SUMMARY:Artists' Choice
DESCRIPTION:See selections from the Frye’s collection in a new light. For Artists’ Choice\, we opened the vault to five local creatives working across music\, dance\, poetry\, theater\, and beyond—asking which objects resonated with them from their diverse artistic perspectives. Their selections gather around themes of representation and identity\, grief and love\, solitude and isolation\, and even dystopian despair. The resulting juxtapositions are surprising\, personal\, and occasionally provocative—reminding us that the story of an artwork is never fixed but continually rewritten by all who encounter it.
