'Text/ural'
Two dogs, lovingly drawn by Michael Waugh, rest in the grass. But their lines are not lines; they're words written in cursive, taken from inauguration speeches, commission reports, and speeches to Congress. One dog is quietly missing a paw. Things are not right with the world of these speeches. Also in the group show: a big, bright word ("HALFULL") by Kay Rosen; Annie Bradley's audio-video animation Sodding G. Monoliths, inspired by spammer names; and a giant wall drawing by Ewoud van Rijn's that gives reality a talking-to. (OKOK Gallery, 5107 Ballard Ave NW, 789-6242. Noon–6 pm, free.)
