SEATTLE – blurred is CoCA’s inaugural architecture show, which explores the
breadth and depth of architectural possibility, expanding the traditional
definition of architecture in the Northwest. The participants, who
represent Portland and the Puget Sound, will engage CoCA’s gallery space to
express their thoughts and hone their research through site-specific
installations. Participants include landscape architects, game designers,
sole practitioners, artist architects, and graphic designers.
The show features newcomers to the profession, as well as elders who focus
on the subtle nuances of the field.

The exhibit will confront what blurs architecture’s boundaries.

CoCA serves the Pacific Northwest as a catalyst and forum for the
advancement, development, and understanding of contemporary art. CoCA
provides opportunities for the art audience in this region to view new and
experimental artwork firsthand in exhibitions, which show the work of
international, national, and local artists. Site-specific installations,
performance art, multi-media, and multi-disciplinary programs, and gallery
exhibitions of visual arts are all within the focus of the organization.
CoCA’s galleries serve as an artistic proving ground resulting in
programming that is experimental in nature . . . an important distinction
between CoCA and other visual arts institutions and organizations in this
region.
