A Few Photos

In case you can't make it to Seattle, here are a few shots of Ryohei Tanaka's current show at Cullom Gallery, which runs through Saturday, August 14th.  I was really happy with the way the show came together, and the aerial paper cuts (as we are calling them) added another great layer to the show. 

I can't say enough about this great and creative, if slightly elusive artist.  Being surrounded by his amazing papercuts these many weeks has been like getting to know someone through reading their dream diary.  Wish you all could be here.  Cuttin' It Up: Paper Cuts by Ryohei Tanaka.

Praise for Ryohei Tanaka

Lots to report today.  I was psyched that The Stranger's Jen Graves highlighted Ryohei Tanka's paper cuts on The Slog this week.  If you haven't seen the show in person yet, swing by the gallery next Thursday for the monthly First Thursday Gallery Walk, from 6 to 9 pm.  I am also putting up a good selection of matchbox labels, vintage postcards, black & white photos of Japan in the 1920s, old commercial goods and hotel luggage labels, and one cool Pro Wrestling poster, all part of Cullom Gallery's Third Annual Summer Ephemera Show, which will run only through Saturday, August 14.  The International District is also hosting JamFest this summer on every first Thursday of the month through September.  The music lineup and ticket info can be found here.
