Hey all you friends of Gallery 1412!  The gallery is currently seeking new members.  If you have a need for space on a regular basis (or just for the short term), please consider becoming part of the 1412 collective.  Collective members contribute monthly on a sliding scale for use of the space, and are invited to participate in the decision-making and day-to-day management of the gallery (though none of that is mandatory). Gallery 1412 recently completed our 5th year as one of Seattle's great independent arts spaces.  We see this project as an expression of real grassroots creativity and a way of building, maintaining and sharing resources and infrastructure that are independent of state and commercial interests.  There have been plenty of ups, downs and near crises, and all along the core membership of the gallery is what has kept the space alive and available as a resource not just for ourselves but for the community at large. Please check out the membership page for an overview of our rates, and let us know any questions you have.  We'd love to hear what you're working on and what your space and time needs are. Thanks, and take care! -wilson, for the gallery 1412 collective

Beth Graczyk is a physical artist who works as a contemporary dancer, choreographer, and research scientist based in Seattle, WA. Since 2001 Beth has performed both nationally and internationally in over 30 dance projects, working extensively with Locate Performance Group (Pablo Cornejo, Paige Barnes) (2002-2006), Sheri Cohen & Co. (2000-2004), Corrie Befort (2003-present) and Scott/Powell Performance (2004-present). Beth has received funding through Artist Trust, Mary Gates Research Training Grant, and Evelyn H Green Endowment. Earning a double degree from the University of Washington in Dance and Molecular Biology, her work in biochemistry has been published in Molecular Cell, Nature Cell Biology, Current Biology, and Cell. She currently collaborates with Corrie Befort and Angelina Baldoz in the dance/sound company Salt Horse, and co-directs Radiosonde, an improvisational dance/music ensemble with musician Tom Baker. Melanie Noel is a poet and currently completing her MFA in Poetry at the University of Iowa Writers’ Workshop. Her poems have appeared in Fine Madness, Filter, Mare Nostrum, and on the audio magazine Weird Deer. She has written poems for the installations Partsong and Collocation, and as a live score for What Remains Unseen, an experimental documentary by James Merle Thomas. She was a co-curator for the dance, music and poetry series APOSTROPHE with Gust Burns and Beth Graczyk. Gust Burns is a pianist, improviser, and composer based in Seattle, Washington. Gust is foremost an improvising pianist. He continues to develop new routes into improvisation on the piano, working with diverse areas of music such as silence, density, structure and alternative narrative approaches, extending traditional piano technique, and developing new techniques for inside the piano. Burns performs on both traditional piano - playing the keyboard - and ‘inside piano’ or re-assembled and altered piano soundboard and strings, with or without electronics. Burns counts diverse perspectives and lines of tradition as influences.	bethgraczyk.com rasbliutto.net/artists/gustburns.html
friday, july 23	Ghost to Falco, Ohioan	more info:
	"Since 2001, Eric Crespo has been recording under the name Ghost to Falco with a rotating cast of contributors from Portland’s independent music community. He recently released “Exotic Believers”, his third full-length and perhaps his most accomplished work to date. Released on his cooperative-run label, Infinite Front, “Exotic Believers” finds Ghost to Falco continuing to explore the odd intersections between folk songcraft, rock experimentation, and minimalist composition to assured results, at times bringing to mind Neil Young being backed by This Heat." --Foxy Digitalis	ghosttofalco.com myspace.com/oryne
