BAM Biennial 2014: Knock on Wood
In 2010, Bellevue Arts Museum launched the BAM Biennial, a juried exhibition occurring every two years that highlights the work of established and emerging Northwest artists and craftspeople. The third edition of the Bellevue Arts Museum Biennial, Knock on Wood, focuses on the versatile and challenging medium of wood. For each edition of the Biennial, the Museum designates a new focus of exploration, be it a specific medium, technique, process, or theme in art, craft, and design. This year BAM celebrates the long standing connection of wood to the Pacific Northwest. From First Nations' art to the logging industry, along with present concerns for creative sustainability, wood holds a special significance to the region.
The Biennial is an opportunity for makers of all kinds to push the boundaries of their vision and skill.The exhibition is intended to recognize the innovative and extraordinary work being produced by contemporary Northwest makers, and to celebrate the region's distinctive character.
