The\u00a0Seattle Art Fair<\/a> announced its on-site programming curated by\u00a0curated by the fair\u2019s Artistic Director,\u00a0Nato Thompson and it’s GOOD.

\u201cArt is a vehicle that conjures new possibilities, new worlds. My hope is that this year\u2019s Seattle Art Fair program is dreamy, bizarre, yet tangible\u2014something people new to art can get excited about,\u201d said\u00a0Nato Thompson, Seattle Art Fair Artistic Director. \u201cI want to create space for different forms of art, reflect on the city of Seattle, highlight local voices, and, of course, be political. We\u2019re considering the future from many angles, from a first-nations perspective to a robotic, tinkering one. This broad range of complex, sometimes contradictory attitudes will both refresh and captivate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Attendees can look forward to\u00a0a preview of\u00a0Trevor Paglen’s\u00a0satellite,\u00a0Orbital Reflector<\/em>, which will be launched into space and orbit the Earth starting in late August.<\/p>\n

This debut of a new work Wayne White, who designed the set of\u00a0Pee-wee\u2019s Playhouse. <\/em>The piece\u00a0will feature two 14-foot-tall puppets of Seattle pioneer women, Mary Ann and Louisa Boren. Using large ropes, the public is able to move these puppets and participate in a recollection of the hard work done by these early female settlers.<\/p>\n
