If you listen to our records (thanks, by the way!) then you have probably seen Zack Bent’s work before. Most notably, Zack and his wife Gala designed the imaginative packaging and menus for the eclectic and librarical Encyclopedia Asthmatica DVD. He is definitely one of our favorite visual artists around.

Tonight in Seattle, Gallery4Culture is holding a reception for some of Zack’s newest work, entitled Buffalo Trace. The pieces focus on the Boy Scouts as metaphor for a rethinking of American tribes and communities at large. Zack: "I am interested in how my culture (family) can query human behavior by replaying our life to the tune of other histories."

In other words, this should be good. Details here, or you can visit Zack’s webpage here. Click more for a few representative photographs.
