Studio Brick
August 2008

Dear friends,

We hope you've been having a delightful summer. This month, we hope you can join us for some of the events we have planned at Brick (and elsewhere!) It's another especially busy month for me with 2 openings, 2 tasting events, and a photography workshop. Thank you all for your support, and we look forward to seeing you again soon!

Thursday, August 7 - Blick zum Objekt @ Studio Brick 214 1st Ave S, Lower Level

Artist Reception, 6 - 9pm

This is the final Seattle opening of the full body of work by Thomas Park entitled Blick zum Objekt, "Industry as Sacred Space". This is a photographic series which addresses industry in the context of cathedrals - temples to lost and forgotten gods, their last supplicants paying reverence in the discarded engines of commerce and consumption.

Tuesday, August 12 - Saké tasting @ Studio Brick 214 1st Ave S, Lower Level

Saké tasting with Johnnie Stroud of Saké Nomi, 8 - 10pm

Are you a fan of premium Japanese saké or simply interested in learning more about it? Join us for an informal (and informative) tasting with Johnnie from Saké Nomi, Seattle's first store and tasting bar dedicated entirely to premium Japanese saké. We will be pouring representative examples from each of the three main grades of saké (Junmai, Ginjo and Daiginjo).

Please RSVP to tho...@thomasparkphoto.com if you're interested in attending this event. There is a requested donation of $10 per person for the tasting.

Friday, August 14 - Awake/Asleep @ Poco Wine Room 1408 E Pine @ 14th

Artist Reception, 6 - 9pm

Awake/Asleep, a series of photographs by Thomas Park, will be exhibited at Poco Wine Room from mid-August to mid-September. These are photographs of the quiet and sleeping places that have been lost beneath the public consciousness in our cities and towns. This series ties in with Blick zum Objekt as some of the locations depicted in Awake/Asleep served as settings for Blick.

Saturday, August 23 - Wine tasting @ Studio Brick 214 1st Ave S, Lower Level

Wine tasting with Peter Moore of Poco Wine Room, 4 - 6pm

Bid farewell to the summer with an afternoon flight of summery wines, poured by the expert hand of our friend Peter. Come, relax, and learn a bit about some of Washington's great wines.

Please RSVP to tho...@thomasparkphoto.com if you're interested in attending this event. There is a requested donation of $10 per person for the tasting.

Sunday, August 24 - Lighting workshop @ Studio Brick 214 1st Ave S, Lower Level

Lighting workshop with Thomas Park

Thomas Park will be teaching a photography workshop focused on the fundamentals of studio lighting and working with models. There will be a lecture as well as a hands-on shoot in the studio. This workshop has a limited number of spaces available and is nearly full; please contact tho...@thomasparkphoto.com if you're interested in getting more details.
