Where: Mighty Tieton Warehouse, 608 Wisconsin Ave.

Take flight with the Drachen Foundation and Mighty Tieton! Come see the Moku Hanga Kite exhibition on display in the Mighty Tieton Warehouse.

]]> Moku Hanga is a type of traditional Japanese woodblock printing. In honor of the 3rd Annual Kyoto International Woodprint Association (KIWA) exhibition in Kyoto and the 1st annual Moku Hanga conference, the Drachen Foundation invited artists from around the world to submit woodblock prints. Selected prints were set on spars and transformed into a collection of kites. Each kite reflects the sensibility of the printmaker, on the frame of a traditional Japanese kite.

The collection was displayed for KIWA and the Moku Hanga conference, then traveled to Seattle's Beth Cullom Gallery and to Mighty Tieton.

Moku Hanga kites are on display in the Mighty Tieton Warehouse through February 5, 2012. Call Ryan at 509-847-3034 for an appointment to see them before they move on!

]]> Director Ryan Mitchell (Implied Violence) has culled a diverse assortment of artists including ballet dancer Olivier Wevers (PNB/Whim W'him), recent Watermill resident Anna Telcs, visual artist NKO (Free Sheep Foundation), acclaimed photographer Dan Hawkins, along with a number of actors, dancers, dramaturgs, and sound artists. Their residency goal was to activate and develop the visual, written, and movement aesthetic of Mitchell's newest performance, visual, and  persona based collective SAINT GENET.

Look for them in Seattle.

Since leaving Tieton, the artists of SAINT GENET have produced a five week series of installations, performances, and gallery exhibitions in Seattle directly referencing the image-based performance representations developed at Mighty Tieton.
