The Jacob Lawrence Gallery & Northwest Film Forum have announced the launch of Lux Aeterna, a year-long project exploring the ways media production and presentation platforms shape our values and perception over time. Beginning this summer as a research platform commissioning more than 10 artists, Lux Aeterna will culminate in August 2021 with an exhibition at the Jacob Lawrence Gallery. The exhibition will feature artworks in a variety of media, along with a series of performances, workshops, talks, and essays presented online throughout the year at www.luxaeternaexhibition.com.
Strange Coupling 2020 Exhibition Launch

Strange Coupling has been a student-run tradition in the School of Art + Art History + Design since 2002. It brings together the UW and the greater Seattle art community by pairing students with professional artists for a collaborative art project of their choice. This year, Strange Coupling’s theme for the exhibition is Memory. Each of the works produced by this year’s couplings speak to memory — as a place or an experience, fragmented or weighty, out of touch or within reach.
