SEATTLE, WASHINGTON.- The Seattle Arts Commission presents Lyn McCracken: A Photographic Survey in the Key Tower Gallery Space, Concourse Level 3, 700 Fifth Avenue, through April 12, 2002. A reception for the artist, open to the public, is scheduled for Thursday, March 7, 2002. This exhibition features a selection of documentary photographs taken by McCracken during her six-month residency with Seattle City Light. The artist's work captures, in crisp black and white, the complex network of people, facilities, and functions that characterize Seattle's electrical utility. Her residency is also documented on Seattle City Light's Web site: http://www.cityofseattle.net/light/aboutus/Artist-in-Residence/. The residency was established by Seattle City Light in collaboration with the Seattle Arts Commission to portray the utility and its people as they move into the next century. Seattle City Light, a publicly-owned utility, offers the greenest, most reliable electricity in urban America. The department has numerous facilities, including generating stations, service centers, offices and electrical substations in Seattle and surrounding areas, and employs a work force of approximately 1,800 people in order to accomplish its goals. McCracken was selected for the residency for the quality of her work and her contemplative working style.
