SOIL Artist-Run Gallery

SOIL Artist-Run Gallery Founded in 1995, SOIL is a not-for-profit exhibition space, supported and operated by local artists

SOIL exists as an alternative venue for artists to exhibit, develop, and advance their work. About twice yearly, we post calls for Show Proposals and New Members and we host an annual art auction to support gallery operations.

SOIL Artist-Run Gallery and Actualize AiR present Service/Symbiosis, a  group exhibition of member artists and residents respectively of their  collaborative artworks and singular expressions.

Service/Symbiosis is the generative result of collaborations, discourse, and  shared energies. Bringing together a broad spectrum of material, practice,  meaning, and expressions, the 33 artists in this exhibition are accomplices in  experimentation and interpretation. Whether working in service of, or in  symbiosis with, each other and their work, the fruits of creative partnership and  art space community building are on full display.  

Hope to see you at the gallery this week!

One step forward, two steps back
Tania Colette B.

Exhibition Dates: January 23rd, 2026 - February 28th, 2026
Opening Reception: Thursday, February 5th, 5pm-8pm

One step forward, two steps back is a solo exhibition of new works by Seattle-based artist Tania Colette B. Drawing from her “life-size” sculpture practice, which explores the material life of social movements and state power, the exhibition examines the isolated choreographies embedded within collective operations both of and against state violence. 

Tania Colette B. is an artist based in Seattle. Her work explores the sculptural byproducts of political capitalism and state power. With sculpture, installation, found photography/video, and a broad range of other media, she re-stages sites of social resistance, economic failure, and environmental exploitation in order to examine them from a material vantage point. Her current projects center on tactics of “sculptural resistance”: barriers and monuments built by protestors in order to circumvent, resist, and critique state violence. She holds an MA in Culture Industry from Goldsmiths, University of London (2020) and a BFA in Sculpture from California College of the Arts (2014). She is a member of SOIL and Specialist in Seattle.

‘Crystalline Lens’ references the focusing lens of the eye, a mystical quality, a glass parabola, or a clear viewpoint. Artists Meagan Smith, Christopher Squier, and Allyce Wood use the term as a guide, creating an exhibition of artworks that utilize glitches, patterns, and shifting perceptions to explore the ethereal qualities of liquidity and expansion.
