Mandy Greer at Bellevue Art Museum

Ruby Re-Usable Posted on by

Ruby Re-Usable recommends that you visit the Bellevue Arts Museum this summer to admire the work of Sherri Markovitz and Mandy Greer.

Mandy Greer installation at BAM

We were blown away by Mandy’s newest installation, Dare alla Luce, which involves lots of crazy crocheting to create an eerie Pacific Northwest rain forest-like environment with various shades of green yarn, beads, and other materials. We first saw Mandy Greer’s fabric covered deer heads with pom poms at the now-defunct Priceless Works Gallery, but since we don’t get up north very often and therefore did not see it at Bumbershoot nor CoCA, we were thrilled to finally view the white stag installation at BAM. Jen Graves at the Stranger praised the BAM show HERE and Regina Hackett complained about it HERE and Kamala Dolphin-Kingsley posted some pics from the BAM show HERE

The Sherri Markovitz exhibit on the third floor was not open yet when we visited on Mother’s Day, but we did get to see one of her poetic pieces at the Museum of Glass in Tacoma last month.

There is also the City of Bellevue Sculpted Green juried exhibit with contemporary sculptors who, through the materials they use, techniques they employ and/or message they seek to impart relate art to ecology, environmentalism, sustainability and similar green notions; more info HERE

  1. Hi there,

    This is Tanja, BAM’s marketing & PR gal. Thanks for taking the time to visit Bellevue Arts Museum to see the Mandy Greer exhibit. It’s always nice to hear people’s feedback, especially when it’s positive:-)

    Hope to read more of your trips to BAM soon:-)

    Best,
    ~tanja

  2. thanks for stopping by and leaving a nice comment, Tanja, I grow so weary of the spam that tries to get left here, I have taken to shutting down the comments after about a month. AND I DO hope to make it up to BAM to check out the Sheri Markovitz exhibit, and to hear Dina Barzel’s lecture on August 1, until then, love, etc Ruby

  3. Makes me think of an underwater world and upside-down seamonkeys in a good way. I’ve heard such good things about Mandy Greer from friends. I look forward to checking her installation in person.

  4. hey Jenny, let us know what you think about the MG installation at BAM! ps love your tin portrait of Alan Lau! love, etc Ruby

    but she seems to have had a different experience than the one Jan and I had … I remain blown away by the “rain forest” feel of the crazy crocheting, and if it had been all neat and tidy crafty stiches, it would not have been as exciting and eerie.
