Creative Exchange: Art and Archaeology
Saturday, February 5, 2-3:30pm
For adults, tweens and teens
Join the Bellevue Arts Museum (BAM) for a conversation exploring the intersection of art and archeology.
BAM Biennial 2021 Artist Kate Clark will describe the process behind her installation, "Everyday Artifacts: Working-Class Waste from 1890s Seattle,” which features some 800 objects discovered during excavation for the Washington State Convention Center expansion.
Clark will be joined by Laura Phillips, Archaeology Collections Manager at the Burke Museum for discussion of the context behind the artwork, archaeological collections stewardship and consideration of Clark's idea that "the world is a living museum, and we are its interpreters."
