Cure for Boredom
Luminous: The Art of Asia @ Seattle Art Museum
For almost 80 years many of the treasures from this exhibit have belonged to the Seattle Art Museum, and now in an epic creation of history are coming together to become Luminous. There was a recent tour of these historically rich items in Japan where they were eagerly received--just as well as their homecoming will be. The best part of Luminous, though, is the video installation by Do Ho Suh, including a commentary on the richness and value of the artifacts themselves and how they relate to our current world. This display is an enlightening celebration of genius cultural works, and will mark the first time in SAM history to have a major exhibition of Asian art in the downtown gallery space.
