Dudes In Flannels That Are Dirty And Drink A Lot Of Beer

Eirik Johnson: Missy Barlow's Dryer Lint Landscape, Lower Hoh River, Washington

Alright, this will be the last of my various posts about Eirik Johnson's show at the Henry, I promise (it closes at the end of the month anyway). I just wanted to mention that tomorrow night Tiny Vipers is going to be playing with Crystal Hell Pool in the gallery where Johnson's work is on display. Aside from playing in the actual woods or at the confluence of two rivers or something, that setting seems like just about the best possible match for their music.

Here's a video where Jesy Fortino (Tiny Vipers) talks about growing up in the woods (at 2:40).



(If you want to watch the rest of that odd little documentary about Seattle bands and/on Sub Pop, here are parts one and three.)

Visit the Henry's website or Hankblog or for info about the show tomorrow night– it starts at 7pm. More Tiny Vipers at Sub Pop and MySpace. Crystal Hell Pool here. More Eirik Johnson at eirikjohnson.com. The end.

Talk Amongst the Trees

I stopped by G. Gibson Gallery the weekend before last to see new work from Eva Sköld Westerlind, Julie Blackmon, and Faryn Davis, which is on view through January 2nd. Among many other artists and photographers, Gail Gibson represents Eirik Johnson, whose show Sawdust Mountain at the Henry was among my very favorite photography shows of the year, along with the Richard Avedon and Edward Steichen shows at ICP. (The Jacques-Henri Lartigue show, also at G. Gibson, would be high on the list as well.)

Gibson mentioned that Eirik Johnson was on KUOW the other day discussing his work; you can download the podcast
here – it's definitely worth a listen or two.

Sawdust Mountain is on view at the Henry through the end of January, and signed copies of his beautifully designed book of the same name are available at G. Gibson. See more of Johnson's work at eirikjohnson.com.

Wow, that was a lot of links.

Here's one more, unrelated to the above, unless you stretch:
Eluvium New Animals from the Air mp3
from Talk Amongst the Trees (2005). More info at eluvium.net or listen & buy at temporaryresidence.com.
