Willie Nelson Marymoor Park	Thu., August 28, 7:00pm	Redmond	Music
Though Willie Nelson is as well-known these days for his political, animal-rights, and marijuana activism as for his long, distinguished music career, the 75-year-old songwriter still keeps putting out an impressive volume of work. And not on the standard album-per-year schedule, either. In... More >>

Godard's 60s SIFF Cinema	Daily from Sat., August 9 until Thu., August 28	Queen Anne	Local Film/Arthouse
Godard's fourth feature, My Life to Live (1959), is a rocket from Pandora's Box. It's sectioned into 12 "tableaux," each chapter opening with an intertitle describing its contents. The framing is carefully indiscriminate; faces are backlit into murk; café clatter swallows conversation.... More >>

Movies on the Pedestal Rainier Square	Every week Thursday from Thu., July 10 until Thu., August 28	Downtown	Local Film/Arthouse
Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg have built their 2007 buddy-cop homage-parody on everything from The Wicker Man to Point Break. Pegg plays Nicholas Angel, the best cop on the London police force banished to the idyllic setting of Sandford. Things, of course, aren’t what they seem, and the... More >>

Jenny Heishman: Water Mover Ernst Park	Daily	Fremont	Family Events Art Exhibitions
Unbuilt lots, even sloped blackberry patches sitting on unstable soil, are fast disappearing in Seattle. Particularly in Fremont, where townhouses sprout like mushrooms, any real-estate resistance is appreciated. Sitting next to the Fremont Branch Library, A.B. Ernst Park was completed four... More >>

Isaac Layman: Photographs From Inside A Whale Lawrimore Project	Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Thu., July 17 until Sat., August 30	SoDo	Lectures Art Exhibitions
A peek into a medicine cabinet, a look into a dirty sink, an aerial view of a crusty four-burner electric stove—Isaac Layman's large-scale digital images capture messy domestic scenes in gorgeously exacting detail. (SINK, 2008, is shown above). Yet each photograph is a complete... More >>

Geoff McFetridge: The Mind Olympic Sculpture Park	Daily from Tue., April 29 until Tue., March 31	Belltown	Art Exhibitions
Better known for his design work for Nike, Burton Snowboards, and Marc Jacobs, the L.A.–based artist Geoff McFetridge has taken over the PACCAR Pavilion with a graphically strong installation. The Mind encompasses the entire sloped-ceiling space, with a crowd of line-drawn faces papering... More >>

Still Life Redux: Vik Muniz at SAM Seattle Art Museum	Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Wed., August 6 until Sat., September 6	Downtown	Art Exhibitions
A large-scale photograph by Brazilian-born NYC artist Vik Muniz (b. 1961) replicates the painting Still Life With Fruits and Vegetables by Spanish painter Juan Sanchez Catan (dated 1602). A small image of the original oil hangs next to the giant photograph, in what is a sort of modern annex to... More >>

Talisman to Disaster: Tim Cross at SOIL SOIL	Every week Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Fri., August 1 until Sat., August 30	Pioneer Square	Art Exhibitions
You won't find this striking ink-and-watercolor work hanging at SOIL, sad to say. You will, however, see similar pieces by artist Tim Cross, also depicting pretty, imagined disasters. I was lucky enough to catch Cross on his way out the door with this piece, and was stopped by the gorgeous... More >>

“You Say Goodbye, I Say Hello” Tigertail	Daily from Wed., August 13 until Sat., September 20	Ballard	Art Exhibitions
Seattle has a muscular, well-known crop of male rock photographers, but when our Hannah Levin needs a last-minute photo for her “Rocket Queen” column, she often turns to three local ladies: Jenny Jimenez, Laura Musselman, and Sarah Joann Murphy. Levin has now curated a show, “You... More >>

Stronghold University of Washington Campus	Daily	University District	Art Exhibitions
The original UW campus downtown was once covered with old-growth timber, as was its present location when the school moved north in 1895. Now, as that institution continues its inexorable sprawl south of Pacific Street toward Portage Bay, New York artist Brian Tolle reminds us of that arboreal... More >>
