If anyone happens to be in Tacoma in the next week, you should definitely swing by Tollbooth Gallery (located just north of the intersetion at 11th and Broadway). Alex Schweder`s video Jealous Poche and a new work called Split, which is having its premiere at Tollbooth, are on view. Jealous Poche premiered at Howard House last fall as part of Schweder’s astounding Lovesick Buldings solo exhibit and was included in Ergonomicon, the show at ConWorks. Its terrible timing (it opened as all hell broke loose when executive director Matthew Richter was fired) meant many people didn’t get to see the piece. It continues to evolve and adapt to different curatorial strategies. At Howard House the audience stood a respectful distance from the work while at ConWorks it was installed in such a way that the projection room’s walls angled to a near V, making it impossible to not be in the projected image as a truncated shadow. It’s fascinating to see the video again in an entirely different context. Split consists of cathode illuminated charcoal drawing in polyester resin and video and demonstrates why he’s one of Seattle’s best artists and why he recently won the Rome Prize.
