For Thursday

Thinking Currents: An Exhibition and Curatorial Platform

Seattle Art Fair presents Thinking Currents, an exhibition that "activates Seattle’s geo-economic position in the Pacific Northwest," with commentary on migration, the environment, identity, technology, nation building, and conflict.

That's a lot, but I'd boil it down to an artistic evaluation take on globalization. 

Thinking Currents: An Exhibition and Curatorial Platform, Thurs, July 30, CenturyLink Field Event Center, 800 Occidental Ave S, $20

Advance Notice for August 8
