Thursday, April 15: White Boss

Fulcrum Gallery

By Owen Taylor on April 14, 2010

Oliver Doriss' Fulcrum Gallery has already distinctly set itself apart from other galleries in the Tac/Oly corridor. It has done so by doing what good art galleries do - take chances. Too many "art galleries" seem to be a front for Northwest landscape watercolor copycats whose only risk-taking involves staying out after 7 p.m. on a school night. Continuing with its trailblazing ways, this Third Thursday Artwalk Fulcrum presents a multi-dimensional installation from White Boss. Hardcore punk icons in the Olympia music scene, the lads in White Boss - currently Jean Nagai, David Harris and Dylan Sharp - have also done several paper-based installations in local Olympia businesses like The Reef. One of their recent installations included covering an entire wall in Le Voyeur with shiny gold paper. I can't wait to see what happens tonight at Fulcrum. - Owen Taylor
