The official opening isn't until Friday, June 1st, but the show is up now. Ries Niemi and Sheila Klein are sharing Anchor through July 24. View from other tree is an installation based show. Niemi's wall work is priced individually, but while at Anchor can be read as a visual sentence. His work at Anchor combines lessons learned from musicians at Anacortes' own What The Heck Fest, and the common practice in consumer culture of tossing objects aside. Niemi explores the question of what makes an object precious or trash.
On the other side of the space, Sheila Klein's closet-like installation is neither narrative or representational. Her work invites the viewer to enter the work, and think of art in a less traditional way. Klein's work can be worn, sat on, touched and even hugged. "New Trade Route" contains a variety of pieces that can be worn directly out of the gallery. Also at Anchor, in the video room, are three of Klein's videos; "Run'er way Detour", "We're Busy", and "Comfort Zone: The Process".
Even though the official opening is July 1st, 6-9pm we are open to the public now, so stop by and get a look.
See you at Anchor!
