Outside New York: Seattle
March 26 – June 1 1983
Living and working outside New York had, rumor to the contrary, many advantages. There was a sense of aesthetic and intellectual independence, as well as a shared sense of community that is often the result of living and working outside the ‘mainstream’. Outside New York: Seattle was the third installment of a series focusing on art created throughout the United States or in a specific city, state, or region. This series provided artists who chose to live and work outside New York City with access and exposure in this city’s art world. Reciprocally, it provided the New York audience with material otherwise inaccessible. Rather than being a thematic exhibition or one which attempts to define a regional sensibility, Outside New York: Seattle reflected the diversity of work created by the selected eight artists, all of whom had been working for 10-15 years. Accordingly, the format of the exhibition provided each artist with a separate exhibition room.1
