Artist in Residence Exhibit - Central Interface
The exhibit will run from September 28, 2024 to January 2025.
Central Interface is a collection of site-specific artworks that embody Chi Moscou-Jackson’s expansion of his artistic practice and new experimentation with digital and analog works created during his time as Seattle Public Library Artist in Residence in 2023-2024.
During his residency, Moscou-Jackson researched the history of photography with the help of Seattle Public Library Librarians. He learned the history of the camera using multiple historical formats including Polaroid 35 mm, as well as shooting and manually processing film.
The works in Central Interface feature images collected by community members as well motifs that emerged from Moscou-Jackson’s time researching in the Central Library’s Seattle Room and Maritz Map Room. Central Interface presents its viewers with imagery that evokes memories and visions of Seattle, the Pacific Northwest, and beyond.
