  • Looks of Distress

    ButohHeadsExample_Tenorio (1)
    “Looks of Distress” is inspired by Butoh, a Japanese form of dance involving a diverse range of movement and expressions.  Butoh is famously known for being unclassifiable and raw.  In this show, the artist will explore the expressions of Butoh through a series of drawings in hopes of capturing the fine line between distress and poise.

    David Tenorio is a practicing artist based in Oakland, CA.  He currently works as an illustrator in gaming and films.  In his personal work, his pieces are expressionistic in mark and figurative in content.  Common themes include fragility, intimidation, and danger.

  • EXquisite Corpse Cinema: EX#3

    KathleenEXquisite Corpse Cinema is a collaborative film project that incorporates randomness and chance. Thirteen filmmakers from around the globe were asked to make films between 2-5 minutes long on any subject they wish. Their only requirements were the use of prompts, an interpretation of a prompt given to start their film and another to end it. The prompts would become segues leading to the next film. Each filmmaker randomly picked their place in the line-up, unaware whose film would come before or after theirs. The films randomly connect together to make one surreal feature film.

    EX#3 features the work of: Gretchen Burger (Seattle, WA), Caryn Cline (Seattle, WA), Salise Hughes (Seattle, WA), Reed O’Beirne (Seattle, WA), Eric Ostrowski (Seattle, WA), Arto Polus (Newcastle, UK), Ben Popp (Portland, OR), Kathleen Quillian (San Francisco, CA), Kelly Sears (Boulder, CO), Andy Spletzer (Seattle, WA), Vorky Tim (Ruma, Serbia), Dustin Zemel (Baton Rouge, LA), Robert Zverina (Kaupo, HI)
