ABOUT THE EXHIBITIONS
Ron Ho: A Jeweler's Tale
When renowned Northwest jeweler Ron Ho passed away in 2017, he left a treasure trove of his own writings, letters, images, paintings, and objects. This exhibition collects many of these items, offering a glimpse into what made Ho a treasured artist, educator, friend, and creator of some of the most sought after contemporary jewelry in the Northwest and beyond.
Oscar Tuazon: Collaborator
The first solo museum exhibition in the Pacific Northwest for Los Angeles-based artist Oscar Tuazon, featuring new sculptures and site-responsive interventions that respond, in part, to the light-filled nature of architect Steven Holl's design for Bellevue Arts Museum's third floor galleries.
Simon Hanselmann: Bad Gateway
Simon Hanselmann’s dysfunctional comic characters come to life in Bad Gateway. Visitors will find three-dimensional scenes of Megg, Mogg, Owl, and company abjectly protruding into the Museum’s galleries alongside every lovingly hand-watercolored page from the forthcoming Bad Gateway book (Fantagraphics Books, 2019).
School: The Joseph Rossano Salmon Project
School, an exhibition spearheaded and conceptualized by artist Joseph Rossano, casts light on the diminished state of global salmon and steelhead populations. The installation features a life-size school of several hundred mirrored salmon, sculpted from molten glass by concerned glassmakers from around the world.
