By Seattle Magazine Staff October 16, 2014
Must Revel
“We Are 12” Exhibit opens at EMP
(Through 2015, times vary) “We Are 12: The Seattle Seahawks and the Road to Victory” celebrates the most passionate and loudest fans in the NFL and chronicles the Seahawks’ impressive journey to becoming Super Bowl champions. See the Vince Lombardi trophy, the Super Bowl championship ring and actual game ball, not to mention Seahawks jerseys, helmets and a sound booth where you can attempt to call plays over a simulated 12th Fan crowd noise.
Must See
Cherdonna Shinatra’s One-Woman Show
(10/17 to 10/26, 8 p.m.) Performer Jody Kuehner, the hilariously awkward, toweringly coiffed, alarmingly made-up half of the duo Cherdonna and Lou, is going it alone this time. In Worth My Salt, she pushes her beloved Cherdonna character beyond caricature, delving into questions of self-worth. Don’t worry, she’s still a font of gangly comedy, but one that’s tinted with existential angst.
Must Visit
Ann Hamilton at the Henry Art Gallery
(Through 4/30/2015, times vary) Known for her enormous installations that resemble sensory dreamscapes, Ohio-based Ann Hamilton will have has had her way with the Henry, crafting a stunning, building-wide installation called “A Common Sense.” It’s also a taste of things to come: The MacArthur “Genius” has been tapped to create large-scale art as part of the new Waterfront Seattle project.
