http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/09/currently_hanging_183 Chauney Peck's Love Seat (2008), vinyl on wall, 40 by 53 inches At 4Culture. (Gallery site here. The show is only up through Friday, so get down there soon.) Last week I posted a "Currently Hanging" about a promising young Seattle artist that turned into a heated debate about whether I'd left the artist high and dry by only referring obliquely to why I thought his work was promising. But! That will be followed up with a full review of his work in the paper coming out today, so stay tuned and leave your further comments on that story....

It immediately brought to mind the city's awful sweeps, where they toss the homeless even further out on the streets and further into crisis. I saw some photos of the stuff they had been throwing out (peoples' backpacks full of personal items like photos and ID, and blankets, furniture, tents, etc.); Chauncey's work looks disturbingly similar. If you'd like to witness and help out, head on down to Nickelsville 7115 West Marginal Way SW, just across the river from Georgetown.
