Artist: Michael Angelo Caci michaelcaci.com Venue: Populuxe Brewing / 826 NW 49th St Event: January 16th 6pm - 9pm Showing: Month of January Michael was born in upstate New York, attended Humboldt State University and the University of Washington. He settled in Seattle where he lives and works. His works are largely mixed media combining layers of photographic films, resin, paintings, metals, paper, reflective films and media. As a high school student Michael won the industrial arts award in photography for studies of microscopic crystallization formations. At the University of Washington, he studied painting, printmaking and digital photography and began combining photographic and traditional painting and drawing processes with digital technologies. In the late 1990s he began experimenting with large format digital printers and software. These experiments created a new path for Michael’s artistic output and expression which continues in his current work. Michael’s work is an expression of an experimentally curious mind. He likes to make more work for himself by posing disparate materials together in the tradition of Sigmar Polke; industrial materials, traditional paintings, photography both his own and appropriated from the web; a lifetime process that comes together and speaks of his concerns for the future of humanity and the planet. **Visitors during Ballard Night Out receive a dollar off a pint when you let them know we sent you!

Show: Golem, A Family History Artist: Julia Wald Venue: Push/Pull / 5484 Shilshole Ave NW Event: December 19th 6pm - 9pm www.facebook.com/events/2392351280981225/ Showing: Through January 14th Join us for the opening of Golem: A Family History by Julia Wald.

Artist Statement: I am a jew. My family’s history has been tied to this word and their immigration patterns and destinies shaped by it. My grandpa left Germany in 1936 because he was a jew. My Eastern European family fled Russia during the revolution for the same reason. I am an American citizen because my family was lucky enough to escape their respective countries just in time. The Golem is a Jewish anthropomorphic creature that can be a monster, a savior, a hero to the Jewish people, or a villain. The creature is created from the earth—stones, mud, and clay. The conjuring of a Golem can mean hope or despair. My family’s collective history can be summed up pretty nicely as a combination of hope and despair, monsters and saviors. Artist Bio: Julia Wald is an artist and illustrator based in Seattle Washington. She often uses india ink pens in her work, exploring line, pattern, and texture. Her subject matter ranges from cityscapes, index card monsters, and comics. She was just awarded a 2019 Artist Trust GAP Grant to continue working on this project—The Golem: A Family History and plans on using the funds to turn the comics about her family into a book.
