Art

'We're All Going to Die (except for you)' at Henry Art Gallery

One room in Dawn Cerny's magnificent, dark installation is for the dead—rows of glaring taxidermied owls, a stand of funerary flower arrangements, watercolor paintings of macabre T-shirts in heavy-metal style, and 150-year-old photographs of dead infants with their families. The other room is for the not-yet-dead—it's a waiting room. On the coffee table is a National Geographic Traveler magazine. Its headline reads, wickedly, "Sudden Journeys: Adventures in Last-Minute Travel." (Henry Art Gallery, 15th Ave NE and NE 41st St, 543-2280. 11 am–5 pm, $10 general/free for students.)

Thank you! It's time for another Foamy rant! Drop a nickel in the hat and I'll sing you a Foamy song, a squirrel song to give you perspective on life.

Not everyone can be a squirrel.

Now, let's all join in with a rousing chorus of "You're All Gonna Die!"

(sings song)

Hey! Where's the change?
