PRETTY WHATEVER is a collection of photo-poems (phoems) by Leah Schrager curated by Joseph Roberts. Leah is trained as a contemporary dancer and model and is currently living in New York City. These phoems have been created over the past year as an interpretation of Leah's move from the Northwest to NYC, her studies of performance art, her forays into the world wide web, her travels, and her relationships with friends and lovers.
Overgrowth & Understory Opens this Saturday
Outdoor Sculpture Exhibition at Cougar Mountain
Opening Reception Saturday, July 10, 3pm-5pm
Anti-Aircraft Trailhead, Cougar Mountan Regional Wildland park
In collaboration with King County Parks, CoCA will present "Overgrowth & Understory" the first-ever exhibition of temporary, outdoor sculptures on Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park (Anti-Aircraft Peak & Sky Country Trailheads), from July 10 - October 1, 2010. In addition to its function as a Cold War missile site in the mid 20th century, the park also features historic coal mining sites as well as many miles of trails in second growth forest surrounded by an increasingly urban environment.
The exhibition, arranged around the perimeter of open fields adjacent to trailhead parking lots, focus on interpretations of nature, history, and the built environment in a world of change.

Heaven and Earth 2
Outdoor Sculpture Exhibition in Carkeek Park
On View through Sunday, September 26, 2010
Following a widely acclaimed debut in 2009 that received national attention, CoCA, Seattle Parks and Recreation, and the Carkeek Park Advisory Council (CPAC) have partnered again to bring another exhibition of temporary, outdoor sculpture to Carkeek Park in northwest Seattle. As before, the theme concerns the natural world in a time of dramatic change. Some of the art is designed to weather in place and erode while other work incorporates movement and interactive use by visitors.
Read Michael Upchurch's review in the Seattle Times here.
Visit the exhibit's official website at www.heavenandearthexhibition.org.
The exhibition this year features 12 artists with 15-20 works located throughout the park. A walking tour of the whole exhibit takes about an hour, but some work can be seen in much less time, including a variety of work accessible from the access road. Maps can be downloaded for free at CoCA’s website. A catalog of this year’s exhibit will be released in August.
ARTISTS: Big Camera Group, Barbara DePirro, Miguel Edwards, Julie Fisco, Anette Lusher, Ingrid Lahti, Julie Lindell, Piper O'Neill, Eden Rivers, Sylwia Tur, Ken Turner, and John Henry Wooten IV.
