CoCA, Washington

blurred is CoCA’s inaugural architecture show, which explores the breadth and depth of architectural possibility, expanding the traditional definition of architecture in the Northwest. The participants, who represent Portland and the Puget Sound, will engage CoCA’s gallery space to express their thoughts and hone their research through site-specific installations. Participants include landscape architects, game designers, sole practitioners, artist architects, and graphic designers. The show features newcomers to the profession, as well as elders who focus on the subtle nuances of the field. The exhibit will confront what blurs architecture’s boundaries.

Many events have been planned surrounding the show’s theme. Several of the architects will offer lectures about their work, as well as the viewing of films they’ve produced over the shows duration. A tour of Capitol Hill artist and architect studios, orchestrated by Marlow Harris of Coldwell Banker Bain and Associates, is scheduled for Saturday, September 7th from 2pm to 6pm. CoCA-motion, the twice weekly cultural evenings of poetry readings, music, and film presentations will continue to be held Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout the two months of the show. A full calendar of the events at CoCA is available on their website: www.cocaseattle.org

CoCA serves the Pacific Northwest as a catalyst and forum for the advancement, development, and understanding of contemporary art. CoCA provides opportunities for the art audience in this region to view new and experimental artwork firsthand in exhibitions, which show the work of international, national, and local artists. Site-specific installations, performance art, multi-media, and multi-disciplinary programs, and gallery exhibitions of visual arts are all within the focus of the organization. CoCA’s galleries serve as an artistic proving ground resulting in programming that is experimental in nature . . . an important distinction between CoCA and other visual arts institutions and organizations in this region.
