Large, Hairy and Literate: Zinesters and Artists Celebrate Bigfoot
Thursday, January 14, 5–8 p.m. in ZAPP (at the Richard Hugo House)
Well before "Harry and the Hendersons" hit the big screen, the Pacific Northwest has had an obsession with Bigfoot, beginning with Lummi tales of ape-like, cannibalistic wildmen to the Sonics' former fur-balled mascot, Squatch.
Continuing the legacy, ZAPP presents a group exhibit featuring new work that draws upon both visual and literary interpretations of Bigfoot lore by local artists David Lasky, Kinoko, Kelly Froh, Greg Hofmann and Darin Shuler, among others, in conjunction with Blitz!: Capitol Hill's Art Walk.
In addition to the exhibit, ZAPP will showcase zines and comics from the archive that focus on tales or histories of the Bigfoot phenomenon in the Pacific Northwest. Visitors are encouraged to donate their own Bigfoot zines or comics and are invited to participate in on-site drawing and storytelling.
