Space is always the issue at Suyama Space<\/a>,
\nthe Seattle art center thinly disguised as an architect’s waiting room.
\nBig, raw and barn-like, it overpowers artists who fail to take its
\npersonality and proportions into account. Failures are rare, because Beth Sellars<\/a> is in charge of the lineup.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the global consciousness of her curatorial vision and to
\narchitect George Suyama, who runs his firm around the gallery he
\ndonates to the public, Suyama Space has become one of the top art
\nvenues in the region.
\nThe price is right (free admission), but the hours (Monday-Friday) are
\ntough for anybody with a standard-issue job. Even though weekends are
\nout, the lengths of the exhibits are a saving grace. Most run for three
\nmonths. Few people lack a spare lunch hour during that wide a time
\nframe.<\/p>\n

Currently on view, Dan Corson<\/a>‘s Grotesque Arabesque<\/i> is a thrill. <\/p>\n

With indigo skylights and a 25-foot wide mirror to multiple the distortions, the bent, electroluminescent strips appear to be drawn in the air.<\/p>\n
