DOOMHAWK, 2007
Archival inkjet print
30 x 40 inches
$1500 unmounted $1900 as framed
The show's opening featured a live performance wherein the artist, suspended from the ceiling, bouncing on a sand dune mocked shooting photographs while being pitted against a performance by artist-costumed *fantasy metal* band, DOOMHAWK. Sought out by Matthern for their subcultural, lifestyle-defined retreat to a mythological realm, Doomhawk's presence will be felt throughout the show in the remaining installation of costumes, photographs, and film--the gallery functioning as a discoverable ruin--a pilgrimage site--its visitors left to encounter the relics of Mathern's ritual performance.

BACKGROUND:
There is a cluster of farming towns in Eastern Washington that go by the Greek and Hebrew-derived names of Othello, Ephrata, Odessa and Moses Lake. Nothing else about the white rural American communities is remotely Greek or Hebrew-derived.
Moses of the book of Exodus led the Hebrew slaves out of Egypt and into the desert for 40 years. The City of Moses Lake was named after Sulk-stalk-scosum, chief of the tribe whose land it usurped to build the city. For convenience, whites renamed him Chief Moses.
For her first solo show at LAWRIMORE project, Seattle artist Anne Mathern explores this disconnect with new work in video, photography and live performance interrogating the imposition of one's cultural and historical symbolism and persona onto another. Colonial explorers, vision questers, desert mystics, and totemic beasts are the resulting subjects when the artist (mis)appropriates herself, her work and a band of disillusioned youth in a ritual-cum-rock show of an exhibition.
