"Gary Simmons: The Engine Room", on view through August 22nd, guides the framing of this residency and its intention to center and support Black artists of Seattle’s creative scenes. At the center of the exhibition is "Garage Band", a 24x24-foot installation inspired by suburban garage spaces and their associated mythos of inspiration, invention, and tinkering. Garages have long been spaces for DIY artists to explore their creative practices with relative freedom. The interest of this residency is to see how this exploratory, jamming space can be translated into a large, open museum gallery. Beyond "Garage Band" the exhibition also hosts a suite of new paintings and sculptures, as well as "B Sides", a massive erasure drawing Simmons created for this exhibition that channels the songwriting of Jimi Hendrix-all fuel for the artists to be in dialogue with as they approach creating or re-creating in the space.
Invited artists will spend several days during the month of their residency (May, June, or July) within the garage installation and the gallery to tinker with, improvise, and share their musical craft in both private and public engagements. Each residency will culminate in a recorded performance.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Jambalaya Jam features seven local artists-D’Vonne Lewis (drums), CD Littlefield (trumpet), Gerald Turner (bass), Thaddeus Turner (guitar), Vitamin D (DJ), Darrius Willrich (keys/vocals), and Tiffany Wilson (vocals)-brought together to create and jam in a fashion that revives the “Jambalaya” improvisational and experimental jam sessions of Seattle music’s recent past.
