pARTners: Considerations Rather Than Constraints
at the Kirkland Arts Center.

Here is another exhibit at the Kirkland Arts Center that looks promising- curated by Deborah Paine who is an art consultant and worked as the Microsoft Art Collection Coordinator from 1993-2003. As an example of pairing live-in partners who both make art, Paine sets out to prove the impact and subtle influence two people’s work might have on each other over the long haul. At the very it is an interesting survey of local work- representational of some of the area’s established art makers.
