by calling the Inn at Harbor Steps, where the new “Art
Across the Steps” package gets you tickets to Kurt,
dinner at a popular local eatery, and a room at a contemporary boutique hotel right across the street from the museum.
“Grunge music is arguably
Seattle’s greatest cultural export of the past
20 years, and Kurt Cobain was that movement’s central figure,” says
Michael
Darling, The Jon and Mary Shirley Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art
at the
Seattle Art Museum. “During and after his brief career, his life and
work have
reverberated across the globe. Kurt celebrates that influence, in
particular the effect he had on the creative lives and thought processes
of
artists. Kurt Cobain symbolized the ideals, aspirations and
disappointments of
the ’90s generation, and a diverse array of artists have incorporated
his image
into their work to comment on those issues.”
in scope, the works on
view in Kurt range from portraiture to pieces that show a more
subtle
assimilation of Cobain’s ethos and idealism in a broad range of media.
patrons
