Please join us before heading down to Pioneer Square this First Thursday, September 2nd to celebrate the second installment of ACT Theatre window installations curated by SOIL. Five new installations by Julie Alpert and Chauney Peck, Timothy Cross, Julia Freeman, Christian French, and Allyce Wood. Tasty snacks and beverages will be served!
In March 2010 SOIL was invited to become a collaborator in ACT's experimental Central Heating Lab program. SOIL was asked to curate and install four-month cycles of new art in the windows between Pike and Union facing 7th Avenue. The offer was met with immediate excitement and after a couple brainstorming sessions with ACT's artistic directors the relationship was underway. SOIL sees the inside/outside nature of the windows as an analogy for the collaboration and exchange of ideas between the two arts organizations.
