2013.11.10. New exhibitions at Frye Art Musem

11/10, Friday, 7:15pm. There's a concert today at Frye Art Museum in conjuction with the opening celebration of the new exhistibtions. I arrived 5 minutes late. The auditorium was full, so I couldn't get in. Still so many people in the gallery, more than I ever seen here before.

2 notable new exhibitions.

Carissa Tossin. What's in this glass case are Mayan wind instruments (replicas). There's a video playing behind this glass case, showing them being used, ceremonic way, in front or inside of Mayan temples, and I could hear how they would sound.
She also cuts Amazon delivery boxes into strips and weave them with other printed material to create hanging "tapestry", and named these "Future Geography". They look pretty good.

The shocking exhibition Izanami by Hanako O'Leary is kinda ugly in a way, but interesting. A collection of cemamics in very different sizes. Tiny ones as in this panel (masks and middle fingers). Large standalone pieces as in these two photos. So many middle fingers. Look where they come out of.
