Event

BUSTER SIMPSON // SURVEYOR - Horizon - The Hudson Flows West Exhibition Opening
Buster Simpson -
The first-ever survey of work by a Seattle artist renowned as a pioneer of site-specific, process-driven, environmental art and for his groundbreaking contribution to dialogues about civic responsibility, ecology, and the role of public art.

Horizon -
Paintings from the Frye Art Museum's Founding Collection and a contemporary video work by Paul Pfeiffer in an exploration of the horizon--dividing earth from sky, a boundary that demarcates the limits of perception and knowledge.

The Hudson Flows West -
How the notion of manifest destiny informed depictions of the pristine beauty of the Hudson River Valley to the earliest images of the western frontier in paintings drawn from the Frye's holdings and loans from Seattle private collections.
