In an update on yesterday’s post about this sculpture,

she’s going up at Second and University, outdoors. No word from exhibition organizer Randy Bolander on why the change of heart at Benaroya, but then again, he’s not asking.

And just to balance things out—to give a little PR to a show and an artist I think are deserving, I’ll add that Western Bridge’s Boys and Flowers show closes Aug 12. Get down there and spend some time with the subtly altered and layered photographs of Vancouver’s Scott McFarland. I came across this image of his last week in a recent acquisitions show at MoMA in NY (it’s called Orchard View, Early Spring; Rubus discolour, Prunus nigra, Prunus serrulata, from 2004, and it’s 3 1/2 feet high by almost 10 feet long):

A few others better suited to the Slog (Wishbone, 2002; Torn Quilt With the Effects of Sunlight, 2003, and Dipping, Conrad Arida with Mother and Child Wading in the Water, 2004):
