Reception / Thursday, June 06, 6–8pm
The New Northwest Immaterial, curated by manuel arturo abreu and on view at SOIL from 6 – 29 Jun 2019, explores the renewed viability of ephemeral and immaterial aesthetic gestures for regional artists staking their claim that the creative act is a communal one. Rather than treat the social as raw material for art, the included artists de-prioritize making, craft, and aesthetics in favor of thinking, feeling, and healing together in ways that reject dominant social practice aesthetics.
