This weekend’s first ever Seattle Art Fair will include a Capitol Hill component. Artist Wendy Red Star is creating Tableaux Vivant: Nature’s Playground — “an imagined wilderness of assorted hunting decoys” including bears, birds, and deer — at Volunteer Park:
Visitors to the park and fair-goers alike are encouraged to pose within the landscape of this semi-fake and natural environment for selfies or photographs taken by the artist. Red Star is using social media as a way to document her piece and will provide a special hashtag to the public to use when they image share on their social media platforms.
The installation should be ready Friday afternoon and is planned to be in place through Sunday.
