Seattle Tacoma, WA, August 5, 2026 —
The Henry Art Gallery in Seattle is currently hosting two distinct exhibitions that highlight contemporary artistic practices. One of these, titled “ojo|-|ólǫ́”, features the work of Diné artist Eric-Paul Riege.
Riege’s exhibition presents contemporary sculptural forms that draw inspiration from and integrate traditional Native art. A notable aspect of “ojo|-|ólǫ́” is its use of reclaimed materials in the creation of the artworks. The exhibition is also described as challenging institutional norms within the art world.
Alongside Riege’s work, the Henry Art Gallery is also exhibiting “Day-to-Day: Rhythm, Routine, Resistance.” This separate exhibition offers a broader exploration of contemporary artists and their engagement with themes of everyday life. The artists featured in “Day-to-Day” examine the rhythms, routines, and instances of resistance present in daily existence through their diverse artistic expressions.
Both exhibitions are currently on display at the Henry Art Gallery in Seattle, providing visitors with a look at contemporary art that spans personal narratives and cultural dialogues.
