SUMMARY:Jamie Wyeth: Unsettled
DESCRIPTION:Jamie Wyeth’s painterly eye for tense\, cinematic storytelling is on full display in Unsettled\, the only West Coast venue for this nationally touring exhibition organized by the Brandywine Museum of Art. Featuring nearly fifty works\, this show unearths a darker side of Wyeth’s six-decade career\, tracing a throughline of unsettling imagery and emotional nuance often hidden beneath his more idyllic coastal views and farm scenes. From haunting portraits to supernatural landscapes\, Wyeth’s vivid compositions explore the ominous side of rural American environments spanning the rugged Maine coast to the forests of Pennsylvania.

SUMMARY:Hugh Hayden: American Vernacular
DESCRIPTION:In Hugh Hayden’s first solo museum presentation on the West Coast\, the complexities of identity\, desire\, and belonging are explored through meticulously crafted and darkly humorous wooden sculptures and multimedia installations. From tree bark-hewn designer shoes to basketball hoops woven from grain stalks\, the artist’s works reveal how everyday objects reflect the values and tensions of our society. Centered around thematic touchstones like athletics\, food\, fashion\, and childhood\, Hayden’s art provokes us to rethink the ordinary and explore how “vernacular” items carry multifaceted stories that encompass the joy\, pain\, and resilience woven into the fabric of American life.

SUMMARY:Hayv Kahraman: Look Me in the Eyes
DESCRIPTION:Hayv Kahraman: Look Me in the Eyes interrogates conditions of migration and immigration in the West. In her largest museum solo presentation to date\, Kahraman (born 1981\, Baghdad) draws upon her longstanding motif of heavily browed\, lidded eyes to expose the simultaneous surveillance and erasure of othered bodies. The exhibition features all new work encompassing paintings\, large-scale sculptures\, and a deeply personal audio installation. \nKahraman’s artwork balances autobiographical and collective experiences informed by her upbringing as an Iraqi/Kurdish refugee in Sweden. These aspects coalesce within female figures that appear throughout the exhibition—near\, but not quite\, self-portraits. At times\, blank\, white eyes offset their faces\, speaking to government tracking through iris recognition technology. Meanwhile\, disembodied eyes appear among plants highlighting how Western systems of botanical classification support racist hierarchies. Kahraman visually unites these disparate elements through marbling\, a centuries-old technique that forces her to relinquish artistic control. The patterns that emerge render each work unique—a potent metaphor for resisting assimilation and its insistence on sameness.

SUMMARY:Recent Acquisitions | Frye Art Museum
DESCRIPTION:Recent Acquisitions presents newly acquired artworks by artists with deep connections to the Pacific Northwest. Some artists were born here\, others are transplants—all have meaningfully shaped our artistic community. Reflecting the artistic production in our region\, the gathered artworks defy genre conventions\, often pushing the boundaries of their mediums. Ellen Lesperance (born 1971\, lives and works in Portland\, Oregon) meticulously translates knitting patterns into paintings\, and Gretchen Frances Bennett (born 1960\, lives and works in Seattle) evokes the grain of lo-fi digital imagery through precise color pencil marks. Margie Livingston’s (born 1953\, lives and works in Seattle) “paint object” employs acrylic paint as sculptural material\, while Natalie Ball’s (born 1980\, lives and works in Chiloquin\, Oregon) assemblages incorporate the scents of their organic materials. The museum acquired many of the included artworks through its Local Ties initiative\, which furthers the Frye’s commitment to championing local artists.

SUMMARY:Mary Ann Peters: the edge becomes the center
DESCRIPTION:Seattle artist Mary Ann Peters (born 1949\, Beaumont\, Texas) has attended to overlooked narratives for almost forty years\, interpreting her research through mediums including painting\, sculpture\, and installation. Peters unearths hidden diasporic histories\, often through travel\, and contextualizes them within her experiences of the contemporary Middle East as a second-generation Lebanese American. the edge becomes the center brings together the artist’s series this trembling turf for the first time and presents it alongside a new installation—works that together surface the ways forgotten and repressed pasts shape present experience. \nthis trembling turf features ten abstract drawings\, including one from the Frye’s collection\, which the artist crafts by applying thin strokes of white ink to black clayboard. The series interprets natural habitats where activity occurs beneath the surface\, with rhythmic patterns referencing sound waves used by archaeologists to uncover buried traces of civilization. These intricate drawings imagine the missing records of populations and cultures physically covered over\, reminding us that forgotten histories could be buried below us\, lost within our collective memory. \nThe exhibition’s new site-specific installation continues the artist’s ongoing impossible monuments series\, works of disparate materials and forms that memorialize disregarded details of socio-political events. Peters writes\, “I define an impossible monument as something that deserves reverence but by virtue of its incidental nature would never be elevated to the status of a monument.” Together\, these bodies of work ask viewers to consider which narratives are written into history and which are erased.

SUMMARY:Twilight Child: Antonia Kuo and Martin Wong
DESCRIPTION:A study in personal and artistic resonance\, Twilight Child brings together the work of Antonia Kuo (born 1987\, New York\, New York) and Martin Wong (born 1946\, Portland\, Oregon; died 1999\, San Francisco\, California)—two queer diasporic Chinese artists born more than forty years apart. The presentation continues an informal series of intergenerational and “artists’ artists” pairings mounted at the Frye over the last several years. \nDeveloped in close collaboration with Kuo\, the exhibition features Wong’s rarely exhibited biomorphic clay sculptures from the 1960s and 70s\, alongside selected paintings and archival materials from across his career. Kuo contributes recent photochemical paintings—including new works created in response to Wong’s poetry—and sculptural objects made at her family’s Seattle-area industrial metal casting company. \nBoth artists’ works combine the influences of their Chinese heritage\, such as traditional shanshui landscape painting\, with their contemporary American realities and elements of fantasy. They each incorporate photography in unconventional ways\, to stylistically divergent but conceptually related ends. Wong taped together snapshots to compose his claustrophobic trompe l’oeil New York nightscapes of the 1980s\, adding astrological constellations and ASL fingerspelling icons to create composite images of multiple signification systems. Kuo likewise achieves a densely patterned\, shallow depth of field by superimposing photographs\, masking\, and painting gesturally with reactive chemicals on light-sensitive paper. Through their respective techniques\, the artists underscore processes of translation and confound “straight” legibility. \nThe layering and hybridity present in the work of each artist suggests the pluralism of multicultural experience\, as well as a desire to integrate dualities like chaos and control. For Kuo\, it comes from a simultaneous interest in and ambivalence toward expressing cultural identity\, “a confusion that can be productive to mine\, an element of self that is both familiar and distant.”

SUMMARY:Stephanie Syjuco: After/Images
DESCRIPTION:For nearly a decade\, Stephanie Syjuco (born 1974\, Manila\, Philippines) has delved into museum and library collections to examine how a nation preserves and narrates its own histories. Syjuco rephotographs and reconstructs archival photographs\, digitally manipulating them to reveal the instability of images and the violence of the colonial gaze. Focusing on the US occupation of the Philippines (1898–1946)\, the artist traces American colonization overseas as an extension of the doctrine of Manifest Destiny\, the nineteenth-century ideology that US settlers were destined to expand their territories across North America. \nStephanie Syjuco: After/Images centers on the camera as a technology of imperialism that records and creates racialized American histories. Across the exhibition’s photographs\, videos\, and installations\, Syjuco employs visual disruptions\, annotations\, and other cues of constructedness that counter the colonizer’s power to shape the visual record without being seen. In Block Out the Sun (2019)\, the artist uses her own hands to cover images of Filipino subjects documented without their consent by early nineteenth-century ethnographic photographers\, denying the Filipinos’ continued subjugation. Other works incorporate photographic tools\, like color calibration charts\, to reveal authorial control in image making. A newly commissioned installation based on the artist’s research in the Seattle community incorporates photographs taken by Filipino Americans for Filipino Americans\, showcasing their resilience in the wake of centuries-long colonization. Syjuco’s artistic interventions throughout After/Images explode the implied neutrality of national archives and unveil the narrative distortion embedded in the images—and the histories—they maintain.

SUMMARY:Boren Banner Series: Samantha Wall
DESCRIPTION:In a suite of new works for the Boren Banner Series\, Samantha Wall (born 1977\, Seoul) combines intricate\, hand-cut stencils with drawn elements to depict a serpent-woman—a character that appears across cultures and historical eras. In Western mythology this figure is often portrayed as grotesque and menacing\, but in Korean lore the goddess Eopsin takes the form of a pitch-black snake with ears who protects the home. Referencing the snake’s multifaceted symbols\, the artist pushes against the exoticization of those who are perceived as “other” and presents femininity as a powerful\, liminal state of being. \nAcross her work\, the Portland artist challenges archaic representations of women who\, in her words\, “deviate from the narrow definitions of socially acceptable behavior.” Her perspective as a Black-Korean immigrant in the United States serves as a foundation for nuanced drawings of herself and others\, which often focus on biracial women and the experience of navigating transcultural identity. Through a meticulous process of layering and blending textures\, Wall crafts multidimensional compositions that convey the rich inner lives of her subjects.

SUMMARY:Sky Hopinka: Subterranean Ceremonies 
DESCRIPTION:Sky Hopinka (Ho-Chunk Nation/Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians\, born 1984\, Ferndale\, Washington) layers imagery and poetic prose to create art that foregrounds relationships between communities\, landscape\, and language. His work intermingles English and Indigenous dialects such as Chinuk Wawa\, a revived Chinookan creole of the Pacific Northwest\, to consider how language shapes perception of place and acts as a container of culture. This presentation—the artist’s first solo museum exhibition in the Northwest—features four recent films and new photographs that focus on personal and political notions of Indigenous homeland. \nGrowing up in Washington State\, far from his ancestral tribal lands in Wisconsin and Southern California\, Hopinka traveled the western powwow circuit with his parents. These foundational experiences of itinerancy and\, as the artist describes\, making a “home nonetheless\,” continue to influence his artistic practice. The films in Subterranean Ceremonies revolve around transit and life on the road\, a liminal zone the artist embraces as a space of community and knowledge production. Mnemonics of Shape and Reason (2021)\, for example\, interweaves scattered landscapes to ruminate on the spiritual implications of colonial plunder\, while The Island Weights (2021) narrates a journey along the boundaries of Ho-Chunk homelands in search of four water spirits from the tribe’s creation story. \nThe photographs in the exhibition glimpse disparate locations linked through the artist’s travels and include phrases he etches around their borders\, drawn from stories\, songs\, and his own poetry. Together\, the works reflect an ethos of wandering—an approach that allows Hopinka’s work to resist static depictions of Indigenous cultures and move fluidly between past and present.

SUMMARY:Jessica Jackson Hutchins: Wrecked and Righteous
DESCRIPTION:Jessica Jackson Hutchins (born 1971\, Chicago) has been plumbing the relationship between art and everyday life for nearly thirty years\, playfully melding materials with an intuitive\, “by any means necessary” approach to traditional mediums and found objects alike. Based in Portland\, Oregon\, Hutchins gained international recognition for her expressive sculptural assemblages that combine castoff household items with handmade elements to redefine notions of value and beauty. In 2016\, her work expanded into fused glass\, including vibrant\, collage-like windows that bring a form associated with exalted spiritual spaces into the secular realm. \nJessica Jackson Hutchins: Wrecked and Righteous comprises works created—and sometimes reconfigured—since the late 1990s. The nonchronological presentation surveys Hutchins’s pursuit of immediacy and communion through art\, beginning in the museum’s rotunda entryway with a richly textured\, two-story fused-glass window commissioned for the occasion. In the galleries\, the artist’s relief paintings\, intimate tabletop objects\, and needlepoint compositions mingle with selected furniture sculptures—well-worn sofas and chairs cradling lumpy ceramic forms that read as surrogates for the human body. \nThe corporeal aspect of Hutchins’s work comes to the fore in a recent group of wearable food vessels that will be activated during a special performance. The exhibition connects these unwieldy “prostheses” to the artist’s early milagros sculptures: totemic papier-mâché body parts she made for suffering people close to her or in the public eye. Drawing a throughline of vulnerability\, interdependency\, and repair across Hutchins’s practice\, Wrecked and Righteous honors the artist’s special capacity for finding the sublime in ordinary places and neglected things.

SUMMARY:Frye Salon
DESCRIPTION:Frye Salon features over one-hundred paintings from the Frye Art Museum’s Founding Collection hung floor to ceiling—a display mode referred to as a salon-style hang. The installation approximates the dramatic viewing experience enjoyed by visitors to Charles and Emma Frye’s Seattle home in the first decades of the twentieth century. \nThe Fryes developed their passion for art at the World’s Columbian Exposition\, a world’s fair held in Chicago in 1893. The experience greatly influenced the painterly subjects and artists the young couple collected for years to come. Over the next four decades\, they purchased canvases by an international roster of artists from Europe and the United States. As children of German immigrants\, the Fryes focused particularly on works by German artists. \nThe couple displayed the collection in private living quarters and a purpose-built gallery attached to their home in First Hill. Major philanthropic supporters of music\, the Fryes also hosted concerts and charitable events in their gallery. Concurrent exhibition LINEAJES pays homage to this model of cross-disciplinary engagement\, inviting local percussionist Antonio M. Gómez to activate the space with musical interventions and a mural painted on the walls behind the Salon works.

SUMMARY:Antonio M. Gómez: LINEAJES
DESCRIPTION:The work of Tacoma percussionist\, producer\, and educator Antonio M. Gómez (born 1971\, Brownsville\, Texas) pursues the interwoven histories of world music. Relating his practice to the experience of mestizaje—a mixed identity formed at the intersection of cultures—Gómez explores musical ties between the Americas\, the Mediterranean\, West Africa\, and the Silk Road through his ensemble performances and teaching. LINEAJES interrupts the gilded display of oil paintings in the Frye Salon exhibition with a visual and sonic presentation of his work\, foregrounding an intercultural artistic heritage long obscured by the Western canon. \nThe exhibition features a custom-built tarima—a traditional Mexican percussive platform that amplifies the sounds of dancers’ feet—and a global array of instruments drawn from Gómez’s extensive collection. Live performances by the artist’s Trio Guadalevin and other invited ensembles supplement recorded soundscapes playing continuously within the exhibition space. Specially invited by Gómez\, street artist Angelina “179” Villalobos creates a mural of vines twisting behind and beyond the paintings in Frye Salon\, evoking the proliferation of the cultural lineages that crisscrossed the globe to give rise to modern art and music. \nFrom the Middle Eastern ancestry of the modern guitar to the influence of the West African conga in the Americas\, the history of music revealed in LINEAJES challenges simplified notions of Western Civilization and offers a beautifully complex narrative.

SUMMARY:Hanako O’Leary: Izanami
DESCRIPTION:Seattle artist Hanako O’Leary’s ceramic objects embrace visual storytelling\, interweaving Shinto mythology and contemporary feminist ideologies. Raised by her Japanese mother and American father in the Midwest\, O’Leary traveled yearly to her maternal home\, Japan’s Setonaikai Islands. Influenced by these experiences\, as well as folkloric Japanese imagery\, the artist bridges her identities and matriarchal lineages to narrate her own “American story.” \nThe first solo museum presentation of O’Leary’s work\, this exhibition marks the culmination of the artist’s multiyear series of ceramic vessels and masks named for the Shinto goddess of creation and death\, Izanami\, meaning “she who invites.” Izanami’s story in the Shinto pantheon is short-lived: after giving birth to many goddesses and gods\, she dies during childbirth and is trapped in the underworld for eternity. However\, the artist revives and reinterprets Izanami’s legacy\, “embracing the mystical feminine realm in its entirety and celebrating the right to create or destroy what lies within our own underworld.” \nThe series enacts a new mythos inspired by ancient relics and fertility icons\, Noh theater traditions\, and Eastern spirituality. Its vessels chronicle Izanami’s descent through the underworld\, and the masks provide protection as she rules over the gods and spirits of that realm. In her artwork\, O’Leary mines the story’s dualities—life and death and the triumphs and tragedies of femininity—to surface the ways the centuries-old myth resonates with her personal\, contemporary narrative.

SUMMARY:Clarissa Tossin: to take root among the stars
DESCRIPTION:Clarissa Tossin works across artistic mediums\, including film\, sculpture\, and drawing\, to explore the intersections of climate change and global capitalism’s frontier mythologies. Born in Porto Alegre\, Brazil\, and now based in Los Angeles\, Tossin bridges Latin American and United States histories of economic and cultural exchange to interrogate persistent legacies of colonialism. The artist repurposes consumerist detritus—specifically Amazon delivery boxes—in her material investigations of the Amazon rainforest’s exploitation. In recent works\, she envisions how the same ecologically disastrous cycles of human consumption on Earth will manifest in twenty-first-century space exploration. Spanning more than a decade of the artist’s career\, this first museum solo presentation of Tossin’s work on the West Coast features several new commissions created for the exhibition. \nThe exhibition borrows its title from science-fiction writer Octavia Butler’s Earthseed novels\, in which humans seek to survive amid ecological and cultural apocalypse.  A seamless melding of synthetic and organic materials prevails throughout the exhibition. Across their wide-ranging forms\, these works embody the tension between capitalist-driven environmental destruction and reciprocal caretaking approaches of Indigenous communities. \nTossin’s new works explore mapping and naming as colonial technologies of discovery and conquest on Earth and beyond. In Maritime Arrivals (2023)\, Tossin uses the visual language of fifteenth-century nautical maps to draw sites from the moon on recycled Amazon delivery envelopes. She interlaces strips of Amazon delivery boxes with NASA satellite images of the Carina Nebula in Future Geography: Cosmic Cliffs (2023)\, using techniques inspired by Amazonian basket-making traditions. And with her monumental film Mojo’q che b’ixan ri ixkanulab’ / Antes de que los volcanes canten / Before the Volcanoes Sing (2022)\, the artist examines Maya wind instruments’ ability to give voice to Indigenous systems of knowledge and reanimate both colonial and cosmological spaces. Throughout the works on view\, Tossin troubles capitalism’s unwavering faith in progress and instead seeks networks of interconnectedness across time and geographies.

SUMMARY:Rafael Soldi: Soft Boy
DESCRIPTION:Seattle artist Rafael Soldi uses photographic media to examine the intersection of individual identity with larger political and social themes such as immigration\, memory\, and loss. The artist’s current work builds on his experience as a queer youth in Peru to focus on the construction of masculinity in Latin American society. Soft Boy\, Soldi’s first solo museum exhibition on the West Coast\, brings together three recent projects that explore how gender expectations are encoded—and can be subverted—within language and childhood games. \nThe core of the exhibition is a new immersive video installation\, Soft Boy (2023)\, Soldi’s ambitious first foray into moving-image work. The nonlinear video follows a group of uniformed\, school-aged adolescents as they perform a series of rituals drawn from the artist’s memories of his days at an all-boys Catholic school. Schoolyard brawling\, marching in military-style parades\, arm wrestling\, performative athleticism: the depicted actions index a type of masculinity largely governed by violence. Soldi’s treatment\, however\, frames the boys’ machismo as both threatening and absurd\, barely concealing an urgent need for intimacy and connection. \nThe exhibition also includes selections from the artist’s print series CARGAMONTÓN (2022) and a new hand-written text installation\, mouth to mouth (2023). “Cargamontón\,” a pile-on form of hazing common in Latin American schools\, hovers in Soldi’s recollection between bullying and homoerotic self-discovery. The artist translates pixelated found footage of the practice into a sequence of elegant large-scale etchings\, which evoke obscure memory and an ambiguous mix of pain and pleasure. In mouth to mouth\, Soldi again centers moments of fluidity and dissonance\, presenting word plays and Spanish-English pairings that reveal the gendered power structures built into language and the slipperiness of meaning. For the artist\, probing states of in-betweenness—especially as it occurs across tongues—provides nuanced insight into immigrant identity while also offering a rich metaphor for queer experience.

SUMMARY:Kelly Akashi: Formations
DESCRIPTION:Originally trained in analog photography\, Kelly Akashi (born 1983\, Los Angeles) is drawn to materials like glass\, wax\, and bronze for their alchemical potential to change states. The artist blows and sculpts these fluid materials into forms bearing the literal imprint of her body’s breath and touch. She regularly makes unique life casts of her hands\, subtly marking time as fingernails grow and lifelines deepen. \nThis pervasive interest in time is embedded in many of Akashi’s processes and led her to studies in botany\, paleontology\, and biology—fields that locate the human body within deep geologic history. She gives form to this research through both old-world craft techniques such as glass working and stone carving and new imaging technologies like CT scans and EKGs. Weeds\, shells\, flowers\, and rocks become poetic points of departure for exploring fundamental questions of existence: about being in the physical world and being in time. \nKelly Akashi: Formations is the largest exhibition of the artist’s work to date. It spans nearly ten years of practice\, from graduate school to recent research into the inherited impact of Japanese Americans’ incarceration during World War II. There is no chronology to the exhibition’s organization. Each artwork suggests an intimate encounter\, and these encounters expand and reshape meaning as they accumulate. Together\, Akashi’s works reveal that we are tethered to the lifeforms around us and are ourselves aggregate beings\, formed of ancestral experiences and histories. \nThe Frye is proud to partner in a multisite exploration of Akashi’s work with the Henry Art Gallery\, where the artist will present a new commission opening September 30\, 2023.

SUMMARY:A Living Legacy: Recent Acquisitions in Contemporary Art
DESCRIPTION:Since its opening in 1952\, the Frye has maintained its dedication to the art and culture of the present through collecting and exhibiting contemporary art. This practice is guided by the example of museum founders Charles and Emma Frye\, who amassed a collection of paintings made within their own lifetimes\, often by purchasing works directly from living artists. Over the past fifteen years\, the museum has intentionally focused on broadening its holdings to include previously underrepresented identities\, perspectives\, and forms of expression. This ongoing work is an essential facet of the institution’s commitment to diversity\, equity\, and inclusion. \nA Living Legacy marks the Frye’s seventieth anniversary\, bringing together eight artworks—all acquired in 2022 and on view at the museum for the first time—by Amoako Boafo\, Sky Hopinka\, Gisela McDaniel\, Bony Ramirez\, Tschabalala Self\, Ann Leda Shapiro\, and Sadie Wechsler. Ranging from altered photographs to mixed-media assemblages\, the works expand or complicate narratives around genres such as landscape and portraiture traditionally associated with the Frye’s Founding Collection of nineteenth- and twentieth-century European and American art. The exhibition reflects the museum’s engagement with both local and global artists and celebrates the collection as a unique\, ever-evolving\, and always imperfect chronicle of artistic production: a living legacy of the Fryes’ visionary patronage.
