It's ! To mark the occasion, we're sharing about Bruce Nauman's "Double Poke in the Eye II," on view in "Poke in the Eye: Art of the West Coast Counterculture" at SAM.
"Double Poke in the Eye II" (1985) exemplifies Nauman's radical yet irreverent contemporary art practice. Utilizing the mediums of neon tubing and static animation—commonly used in commercial advertisements—Nauman creates a vignette of human action and retort. The resulting work can be interpreted in one of two ways: as either humorous and playful or vengeful and violent. visitsam.org/pokeintheeye

Tucked away in a forest on the outskirts of Seattle sits Enid Smith Becker's cozy, sun-filled art studio. There, the SAM Gallery artist creates semi-abstracted landscape paintings that capture a mood or an emotion.
Becker begins each new artwork by searching through her source photographs, selecting a photo, and making a quick sketch. At her easel, she paints the background landscape first, then incorporates panels that overlap the landscape, offering multiple views of the same subject. She believes that art can remind people of their connection to the natural world and encourage them to protect the beaches and forests they love.
Visit to learn about Becker's artistic process in the latest installment of our "In the Studio" series and see her latest artworks in "Reveal" at SAM Gallery through Sunday, August 4.

You know "American Gothic" (1930), but do you know "American Gothicware" (1972)?
This series by Howard Kottler spoofs the well-known painting by Grant Wood. By placing a decal of the iconic image on four plates and adding his own twist to each one, Kottler expresses his subversive attitude toward American life. Each plate offers a visual confrontation of the original painting by Wood and with it mainstream American values.

“It was almost like anti-art. . . . a rebellion.” – Patti Warashina Tune in to an alternative art history you may not know. Organized by the Seattle Art Museum, "Poke in the Eye: Art of the West Coast Counterculture" celebrates the aesthetic practices that emerged across the West Coast in the 1960s and ’70s. Reacting against the sleekness, formality, and coldness of East Coast movements like Pop Art and minimalism, artists on the West Coast—particularly in Seattle and the Bay Area—began creating artwork that was intentionally offbeat. These artists used traditional craft techniques and bold color, centered figuration and narrative, and often employed an irreverent sense of humor. "Poke in the Eye" draws primarily on SAM’s collection to present an inclusive view of this countercultural style that continues to reverberate today. Opening day is Friday, June 21 and tickets are officially on sale! Reserve yours now at visitsam.org/pokeintheeye to be one of the first to see this new SAM exhibition on view.
In the summer of 2023, a set of eight karibari, or drying boards, were built for use in the Tateuchi Conservation Center at the Seattle Asian Art Museum. Karibari are essential equipment for any East Asian painting conservation studio. Scrolls and screens are complex laminate structures assembled from paper and textile sections that are stretch dried on karibari. Building the boards is an excellent training exercise in the fundamental tools, techniques, and materials used in all aspects of scroll mounting and conservation. Watch this video for a behind-the-scenes look at how these eight karibari—built in the Japanese tradition—were created by Tanya Uyeda, SAM Senior Conservator of East Asian Paintings, and Alexa Machnik, SAM Emerging Arts Leader in Conservation.
⏰ "Jaune Quick-to-See Smith: Memory Map" closes in 3️⃣ days at SAM! In this video, Smith discusses one particular artwork on view in the exhibition: "The Spotted Owl (C.S. 1854)" (1990). The work is a triptych—a painting in three parts—on top of which ominously rests a pair of axes. The title of the painting suggests that its main character is a spotted owl, but the owl is conspicuously absent from the forest scene. A part of Smith's Chief Seattle series, "The Spotted Owl (C.S. 1854)" tells the story of the Northern Spotted Owl, a species once plentiful in Washington forests that was driven to near extinction with the destruction of its natural habitat due to logging. Watch the video to learn more about this triptych, the Northern Spotted Owl, and Smith's lifelong passion for environmentalism. Then, see "The Spotted Owl (C.S. 1854)" for yourself in SAM's fourth floor galleries through this Sunday, May 12. visitsam.org/smith [📹 L. Fried]
