Dario Robleto: Alloy of Love at the Frye


Things are not as they appear...shredded Civil War love letters, human bones, vinyl records, cassette tapes, etc. have all been repurposed to create thought-provoking new pieces. Pretty interesting idea and one that I haven't seen before, but in the end it reminded me of poetry...kinda hard to get the deeper meaning without a cheat sheet. Having said that, it's free and well worth the visit. Now through September 1. The adjacent exhibit, Heaven is Being a Memory to Others, was also assembled/created by Robieto...a little scant but some eerily cool moonlight paintings in the center chamber. Now through August 10. Frye Art Museum, 704 Terry Avenue, Seattle. 206.622.9250 x219.
