(1/30 to 3/27, times vary) The longtime Seattle sculptor and public artist, whose highly finished, self-contained monoliths and subtle, irony-laced smaller works have for decades discreetly responded to their often unsympathetic surroundings, is the subject of a solo show that also includes his recent photographic works.

Best Art Gallery: Foster/White Gallery
