NEW MoNA EXHIBITS: Two new exhibits continue through Jan. 4, 2015, at the Museum of Northwest Art, 121 S. First St., La Conner. “Accreted Terrane”: Featuring work by 42 artists with ties to the Northwest, the exhibit explores processes of accumulation and erosion, dispersal and gathering. The passage of time is marked in a dazzling variety of ways, from layer upon layer of paint, to the archaeological exposure of 20th century artifacts, to the capture of hot-sculpted glass in the moment, to the interplay of light and shadow unfolding in a video loop. Guest curator David Francis suggests that the cumulative effect “evokes a world from which human beings are notably absent or indirectly present, perhaps even estranged.” “To Be Alone Together”: The exhibition pairs 11 contemporary Northwest artists with 11 works chosen from MoNA’s permanent collection on the basis of three ideas: light, solitude and community, which the curators find to be prevailing themes in the philosophy and process

of Northwest artists. The contemporary artists were asked to respond to a piece in the collection and to create new work based on that response. The exhibition looks closely at the ways in which both the ephemeral and the tangible experiences of living in a particular place influence communities of artists. “To Be Alone Together” is co-curated by artist Emma Jane Levitt and curator Shelly Leavens, through the Dana and Toni Ann Rust Curatorial Fellowship at the Museum of Northwest Art. Free admission. 360-4664446 or monamuseum.org.
