The day after visiting the Seattle Art Fair last weekend I took Boris with me to see the Juxtapoz X Superflat show at Pivot Art + Culture. It was in the South Lake Union neighbourhood, which is an area of Seattle I hadn’t previously explored, and it seemed to be filled with cool art venues, and restaurants.
I didn’t love this show but I badly wanted to see it because it included work by James Jean, one of my favourite artists. I’ve never seen his work in person before, only online, and it’s an important thing to do when you like someone’s work. It’s absolutely not the same seeing things on the internet. Now I want to see an entire show of his work, but I doubt that will ever happen in Vancouver.
