REAPPEARS THIS PERFECT DAY
Fall 2022
SEASON is proud to present the gallery’s fourth show of artwork by Dylan Neuwirth. REAPPEARS THIS PERFECT DAY will open Sunday October 9, and continue to December 31, 2022. There will be an opening reception with the artist Sunday October 9, 2-5pm. The gallery is located at 1222 NE Ravenna Blvd. There is ample free street parking; nearby bus stops include 45, 67, and 73, and light rail stop is Roosevelt. Gallery hours are by appointment only after opening receptions, please contact robert@season.cz to arrange a visit.
Within the systemic collapse of the region’s zoning, housing, humanitarian, and fiscal equality degradations, Neuwirth has extracted a specific image and made it universal to the topic(s). This singular image is not only from the region, it is the region. A snapshot taken from the height of Seattle’s protests sat untouched for over two years until finally sculpted into a map depicting typical landscape features that define the Pacific Northwest.
Working with a team at the University of Wyoming, Neuwirth took the snapshots and rendered them dimensional using a 3D printing process. This process turned the photographic pixels into physical peaks and valleys which were then cast in bronze as a way to preserve the experience. By giving it both dimension and weight, Neuwirth has made a memory into a solid artifact.
The show title is a blending of The Perfect Day by Ira Levin (published 1970) and a line from “New Opened Eyes” by Tracey Thorn from her 1982 album A Distant Shore. Both the book, a science fiction novel about characters within a technology based dystopia, and the song, a lament on an ended romance, deal with a struggle born out of neglect and denial and end with a tenuous optimism. So too does the work in this show begin from abandonment only to manifest into a variety of media, all of which point to an acceptable means of survival.
Born in Athens, Georgia, Dylan Neuwirth lives and works in Tacoma, Washington. His work has been in numerous gallery and museum shows across the country, and was featured in Lust For Light: Illuminated Works by Hannah Stouffer, 2018.

BEFORE TODAY
Summer 2022
Season is proud to present BEFORE TODAY, new photographic prints by Chicago artist Mike Simi, this will be our sixth show with the artist. The works in BEFORE TODAY all are based around the Still Life genre with their treatment as a singular item floating without the usual collection of various symbolic items. Each subject becomes a memento mori and acts as a place-keeper for marking time and as a means to personify an inanimate object. The show opens August 3 and continues to September 30.

Lake Washington
Spring 2022
sEASON is excited to present “Lake Washington” our third show of Seattle Artist Philip Miner. Lake Washington will open April 13 and continue to June 30 with an opening reception May 15. SEASON is located at 1222 NE Ravenna Blvd and is open by appointment only, please contact robert (at) season (dot) cz to arrange a visit.
color is always, first and foremost, relative. In these paintings, color matters most.
Nearly every day Philip has walked along the Lake Washington shore. As a routine, this walking may be ordinary, but it is within that repetition that he finds the space to listen and to think. He is a painter less interested in what can be said out loud, or what theoretical stance can be inserted through the making of a painting. For him, painting is a process, it is continual, like the steps taken during a walk. It is a time to look and perceive and look again.
Titles of paintings often come off as subjective or problematic as they beg to make a story where one isn’t needed. It may sound outdated and old-fashioned, but these paintings are about paint. To call some of them “Lake” seems good enough, if only to remember the place.

No Longer A Game
Fall 2021
SEASON is excited to announce the first Seattle show for Josh Meillier, opening Sunday afternoon October 10, 2-5pm at 1222 NE Ravenna Blvd. The show will continue to December 30, 2021. After the opening reception, visits are by appointment only.
The internet is understood to be a wealth of information, but what happens when that information is distorted and deliberately misleading? The 14 paintings in this show (all from 2021) provide no assistance in navigating this grey area, in fact, using trompe l’oeil effects, transfers, collage and paint, Mr. Meillier exaggerates these falsehoods and employs a sleight of hand to implore us to examine the work closer.
Josh Meillier (b. 1990, Northfield, Minnesota; lives and works in Geneva, Switzerland) completed his BFA in drawing and painting at Minneapolis College of Art and Design in 2013, and he received an MFA in painting at Pratt Institute in 2020. He has exhibited solo and group exhibitions in Connecticut, Maryland, Missouri, Minnesota, New York, and South Carolina. His most recent shows have been “Contempo Tempo” at NE Sculpture in Minneapolis, “inheritance” at Super Dutchess Gallery, in New York City, “Lately” at CIRCA Gallery in Minneapolis MN, and “i don’t understand this world” at Space369 in St. Paul, MN.

Blue Ether
Summer 2021
SEASON is excited to announce part two of the pop-up exhibition in the Chophouse Row building complex, finishing with BLUE ETHER, opening on Second Thursday, August 12, at 5pm in Suite D. Blue Ether will expand upon the connections between the work of Genevieve Gaudreau and Mike Simi. Genevieve Gaudreau’s collages are blurred and difficult to decipher; they provide an entry for nostalgia and memory much in the same way Mike Simi’s drawings, small sculptures, and recent digital prints encourage awareness of popular past events. Mixed among the work will be a variety of other artworks that help to complete connections and/or divert conversations the surround works begin.
sEASON celebrated 10 years at the end of 2020 and is thankful the everyone at Chophouse Row/Dunn & Hobbs LLC for this opportunity to initiate post pandemic shows at this temporary location. Regular shows at the Ravenna Boulevard address continue in August with the Seattle Deconstructed Art Fair featuring new paintings by Joshua Thompson.
