Chamber Music, Frye Art Museum, 2013
The Frye Art Museum is pleased to celebrate thirty-six exceptional Seattle artists in Chamber Music curated by Scott Lawrimore, the Frye’s new Deputy Director, Collections and Exhibitions, in his inaugural exhibition at the Museum.
Each artist created a newly commissioned artwork in response to musical compositions based on James Joyce’s volume of poetry entitled Chamber Music. The artists included in the exhibition span generations and reflect a broad aesthetic spectrum. Uniting them is a shared dedication to artist-generated activities that strengthen Seattle’s arts community beyond their own art practices. Chamber Music is both a celebration of individual mark-making and a cooperative composition about love for the City of Seattle and how artists choose to leave their mark on it.
