Tether presents:
Thunderbitch: Women Designers in Northwest Rock 1966-2010
Opening party August 5, 5-8pm
Exhibit run August 5 - 27

Celebrate Tether's latest exhibit opening August 5th, 5-8pm, with live music by Barbara Ireland + Stone Gossard and Visqueen, plus an appearance by The Piston Packin' Mamas, Seattle's all-girl car and motorcycle club. From DIY Xerox flyers for bands you’ve never heard of to rock albums that sold in the millions, women designers have shaped the visual identity of music in the Northwest since at least the late 1960s. Thunderbitch is the first attempt to document these women and their work. Taking its name from a pseudonym for an early rock poster maker in Portland, this exhibit spans psychedelic rock, DIY punk and new wave, grunge, riot grrl and today’s silkscreen poster movement. Curated by Daniel R. Smith.

Designers include: Lynda Barry, Judith Bissell, Deborah Brown, Rachel Carns, Neko Case, Chelsea Conboy, Cindy Crangle, Shari Critchley, Louise Crowley, Katha Dalton, Dotty DeCoster, Ellen Forney, Candy Fowler, Sharon Gannon, Marianne Goldin, Chanda Helzer, Jane Higgins, Lucy Huntzinger, Barbara Ireland, Kim Kalliber, Eva Lake, “Lee”, Molly Neuman, Lisa Orth, Tammy Packs, Gina Papen, Cielito Pascual, Emily Pothast, Robynne Raye, Mary Rivard, Helena Rogers, Rachel da Silva, Helene Silverman, Clara Sims-Mulligan, Jean Smith, Heidi Snellman, Dana Squires, Kim Stringfellow, Ashleigh Talbot, Jeanne Wasserman, Joanna Wecht, Catherine Weinstein (aka Hedda Goldspace, aka Thunderbitch), Alice Wheeler, Bon Von Wheelie, Allison Wolfe

Stay Late!: Immediately following the opening party, Damien Jurado will perform a free, all ages show in the gallery.
