Plex.us at CoCA Gallery
Opens this Thursday - Hope you can join us!

La Sala presents: Plex.us

Visual Artist Michelle de la Vega and composer Jovino Santos Neto collaborate on a large-scale sculpture and sound installation about the unique environment of the South Park neighborhood and Duwamish River Valley. The installation integrates recordings and artwork created from community engagement labs in the area.
"Plex-us is about the unique challenges, and rich cultural community network of Seattle's South Park neighborhood and Duwamish River Valley. Through sculpture and sound, the project explores several types of plexuses (networks) that relate to the area, such as the plexus of a fishing net, the plexus of a community of people, neighborhood streets, natural eco systems, and the plexus that travels through time embodied by the heritage of people and of place." - Michelle de la Vega and Jovino Santos Neto

Included in the exhibit is artwork created by 115 Chief Sealth High School art students from a workshop conducted by artist Michelle de la Vega in which the students explored their personal sense of place as related to their neighborhoods and their classroom community. These concepts were examined through a process of writing, drawing, sculpture and collage.
Plex.us was created as part of CoCA Lab Artists in Residence Program.
The exhibition runs through mid-January 2015.
Exhibition Opening Reception: Thursday November 20, 5-9pm
5701 6th Ave S, Seattle Design Center P258, Seattle, WA 98108
