The Jack Straw New Media Gallery is a premier space in Seattle, WA, dedicated to immersive installation art that combines sound, digital media, and other genres. Since its establishment in 1999, the gallery has been supporting artists working with visual and installation art, with a particular focus on sound. As one of the few exclusively sound art spaces in the world, it attracts both national and international applicants, while maintaining a commitment to local artists. The gallery offers residencies that include exhibitions, studio assistance, access to audio recording equipment, public events, and interview podcasts.
Currently, the gallery is showcasing the Pando Suite, an audio installation by Jeff Rice that explores the hidden and interconnected sounds of the Pando aspen grove in south-central Utah. Pando, known as the trembling giant, is one of the largest organisms on Earth, consisting of genetically identical trees. The gallery operates by appointment from Monday to Friday, providing visitors with an opportunity to experience the unique and captivating audio works on display. With its diverse range of exhibits and commitment to supporting artists, the Jack Straw New Media Gallery continues to be a prominent platform for innovative and immersive art experiences.
