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.
