11/21, Friday. SAM hosts the
10 year anniversary of Legendary Children.
I've attended two of those, both at Paccar Pavilion of the Olympic Sculpture Park.
Both colorful and loud, some interesting and outrageous outfits. Never a lot of people, consider the non-binary population in the city.
Today is no different. I arrived late, missed some speeches.
Same, because it's a flat venue, if you are not close to the stage, your view is block.
Thanks to the stairs in the art museum, I could peek through these hanging clouds.
This is the runway at the end of the event.
We were allowed to go see the exhibitions in the museum.
I was eager to check out the new exhibition
Farm to Table.
Highly recommend. Most are on-loan (so come and see it now).
Many French painters that I'm not aware of. I especially like
Gilbert and his portrait of Les Halles food market and workers (see the photo on right).
This painting of a shepard and his sheep with a heavy menacing sky by
Jacque is huge, set right at the entrance of this exhibition.
I also like this painting of selling rat for food during WWI by
Chaillou.
A large space is set as a dinning room with plastic fruits and placesets, for you to sit and chat with other visitors. Kinda interesting.
Before entering this special exhibition on the 4th floor, I found this giant wooden wolf.
And as usual, I alwasy visit the porcelain room (my favorite space of Seattle Art Museum).
Good that today is not busy, and I had it for myself for a few minutes.
Before that, I went to Elliot Bay Books to an author event by
Travis Holp on his new book
Are You There, Spirit? It’s Me, Travis: Life Lessons from the Other Side.
Travis works as a medium between you and your deseased loved ones.
His clients book in-person or zoom reading.
He's kinda funny and approachable.
At the end of book talk, he did reading for 2 audience members.
The first one is a bit odd, other than "father" (of 2 sisters), the other signs didn't realize.
The 2nd one is a mother of a lady on the 1st row, and everything he said turned out to be correct. I wonder if she's planted.
Only about a dozen people in attendance.
