Some of the soon to be exiled 619 Western artists held a hastily arranged art sale in the parking lot outside the doomed studio building. Almost as much fun as the real studio experience. Almost.
Meanwhile in Belltown, CoCA exhibited all 100 pieces of Indonesian artist Haris Purnomo’s work Visitation. These identical white infants with tattoos on their faces and knife blades emerging from their wraps had previously been displayed, partly, at CoCA’s little side street showcase booth near the Olympic Sculpture Park. The whole installation goes next to the Saatchi Gallery in London.
