Mary Anne Carter: Tooo Much Past Event List
God, you ever just feel like toooooooo much? Like you’re running late to everything because you’re spending too much time carefully applying glitter to your eyelids and when you do roll up you smell like a weird mixture of weed and mothballs because you’re wearing your grandma’s sweater that you found in the depths of your closet because all your other clothes were dirty? Well, Seattle artist Mary Anne Carter is creating a space just for you. In her ambitious immersive installation at The Factory, Tooo Much explores Carter’s own “muchness” through 25 different mediums—from paint to cigarette jello to hand-airbrushed clothing to a lotion fountain (!!!). This light-hearted, bright, maximalist art show will be an exploration into “self acceptance and common connection” through our own tooooooooo muchness. JASMYNE KEIMIG

This exhibition, featuring collagist Lisa Myers Bulmash and dozens of other artists, aims to wake you up to the growing plight of our loveliest pollinator insects.
