Meet ‘In The Studio’: Hotel 1000 and Seattle Art Museum Announce 2010 Curator Series
Speaker series to offer insider’s view of upcoming SAM exhibitions, wine and hors d’oeuvres from BOKA RESTAURANT + BAR
SEATTLE – (January 2010) – Hotel 1000 and Seattle Art Museum (SAM), neighbors in downtown Seattle’s eclectic West Edge neighborhood on First Avenue between Pioneer Square and Pike Place Market, announce the continuation of the ‘In the Studio’ speaker series in 2010. Back by popular demand, the series features a presentation by SAM curators on a current or upcoming exhibition, followed by a discussion with the audience. The event takes place within the intimate setting of STUDIO 1000 at Hotel 1000, where complimentary hors d’oeuvres from BOKA RESTAURANT + BAR are served and wines by the glass are available for purchase for $3 to benefit Seattle Art Museum.
“We are thrilled to continue our partnership with Seattle Art Museum,” said Denny Fitzpatrick, general manager, Hotel 1000. “It is such a rare treat to have access to SAM’s curators. This series welcomes guests and the public into our hotel to enjoy a glass of wine by the fireplace and indulge in culture.”
The April, May and June 2010 “In the Studio” schedule is as follows:
- Wednesday, April 21:
Join Curatorial Research Associate for Japanese and Korean Art, Catherine Roche, as she discusses “Fleeting Beauty: Japanese Woodblock Prints.” This exhibition brings together prints from the most renowned ukiyo-e artists of the 18th and 19th centuries—including Harunobu, Utamaro, Eishi and Hiroshige—along with Hokusai’s most beloved prints, Great Wave off Kanagawa and Red Fuji. Drawn from the Mary and Allan Kollar Collection, a promised gift to the Seattle Art Museum on the occasion of its 75th Anniversary, this installation introduces the region to a remarkable collection of prints, all taken from early impressions and in excellent condition. The exhibition will be opened at SAM on Thursday, April 1 – Sunday, July 4, 2010. - Wednesday, May 19:
Join the Jon and Mary Shirley Curator of Modern & Contemporary Art, Michael Darling, as he discusses “Kurt.” Grunge music is arguably Seattle’s greatest cultural export of the past 20 years, and Kurt Cobain was that movement’s central figure. International in scope, the works on view in this exhibition range from straightforward portraiture to pieces that show a more subtle assimilation of Cobain’s ethos and idealism in a broad range of media. Kurt includes works from artists such as Rodney Graham, Douglas Gordon and Elizabeth Peyton. The exhibition will be opened at SAM on Thursday, May 13 – Monday, September 6, 2010. - Wednesday, June 9:
Join Assistant Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, Marisa C. Sánchez, as she discusses “Love, Fear, Pleasure, Lust, Pain, Glamour, Death – Andy Warhol Media Works.” Offering a focused and provocative experience of Warhol’s photography and film portraits, this exhibition includes Polaroids, photobooth strips and sewn photographs, presented alongside Warhol’s Screen Tests. The exhibition includes works that compel the public to consider the artist’s fascination with all things ephemeral, from beauty and youth to celebrity status including photographs and videos from 1960-1980 —two decades in which the artist’s work had tremendous impact on contemporary art production and culture. The exhibition will be opened at SAM on Thursday, May 13 – Monday, September 6, 2010.
The ‘In the Studio’ speaker series is free and is open to the general public. Attendees are invited to STUDIO 1000 at Hotel 1000 for a reception starting at 5 p.m. followed by a SAM curator presentation starting at 5:30 p.m. For additional information, please visit www.hotel1000seattle.com or contact (206) 957-1000.
