“In the 1950s, when all eyes were on New York and nobody cared about the regions, that’s when, paradoxically, the most distinctive regional art emerged: Bay Area Figurative, the Northwest School, L.A. Cool, and New Image in Chicago. Although they were tuned in to what was going on in the national and international context, their audiences weren’t, necessarily. The audiences were focused on their home team. That support didn’t stifle innovation, it seems to have helped make it possible. In today’s pluralistic context, there is no home team and no label to describe the rich diversity in any one place.” So how about Seattle Serial?
