Bootsy Holler - Contaminated is on view at Blue Sky Gallery Oct 1 through 31. Don't miss the In-Person Artist Talk on Oct 3 from 2-3pm! @bootsyholler @blueskygallerypdx⁠

Bootsy Holler's Contaminated is a layered exploration of the tens of thousands affected by radiation illnesses and the secrets the United States Government kept at the Hanford Nuclear site. “Contaminated” is what has happened to the people and the land in southeastern Washington State. This is where I was born. This is where my family lived for eight decades. In 1942, my maternal grandfather arrived on the land and started working for the U.S. Government, codenamed “Manhattan Project.” The Hanford site produced plutonium for the first nuclear bomb used during World War II. In the exhibition are handmade photo sculptures built from the stories I have heard and experienced from family, friends, and news articles. The unique work is accompanied by landscapes, mixed with my experience growing up in this highly charged town. ⁠

The Griffin Museum is honored to present the work of Bootsy Holler (@bootsyholler) in its upcoming end-of-year exhibition, Common Time: American Musicality.

Bootsy Holler is a Los Angeles-based artist with deep roots in the Pacific Northwest, spending her 20s and 30s immersed in Seattle’s vibrant music scene; she has crafted a raw, personal chronicle of a generation trying to “make it.”

She joins Common Time with "MAKiNG iT: an intimate documentary of the seattle indie, rock & punk scene 1992-2008," a photo series also published as a monograph by Damiani Books.

🔗 Join us for an incredible exhibition opening on October 30, and an unforgettable Gala on November 19th! RSVP at the link in bio. by @bootsyholler
