"Suddenly: Where We Live Now. An Exhibition Exploring the Aesthetic Life of Cities" is opening tonight with a free reception hosted by One Pot at 9:00 pm at 312 Occidental Ave. in Pioneer Square. The exhibit includes work from Marc Joseph Berg from New York; Zoe Crosher from Los Angeles; Molly Dilworth from Brooklyn; Elias Hansen from Tacoma; Michael Hebb from Seattle; and more.

From the exhibit description:

suddenly was born of German urban planner Thomas Sieverts’s observation that “the shaping of the landscape where we live can no longer be achieved by the traditional resources of town planning, urban design, and architecture.suddenly seeks to imagine the possibilities of spaces and experiences that have an indigenous history (the parking lot, for instance), but that exist beyond historical definitions of city and countryside, and conventional material cycles of development and disuse. Through a myriad of objects, texts, and activities constructed as symbolic and strategic alternatives, the artists and writers in this project are re-imagining our relationship to the built and natural environment—its materials, textures and histories. suddenly explores the where we live now as an independent identity to be reshaped in the hands and minds of its occupants.
