SEAVIEW, Wash. — The Sou’Wester Lodge will host the third annual Spaceness event Friday to Sunday, Feb. 24 to 26. Spaceness is a celebration of time, space and the unknown through experimental art, media and performance. Each year Spaceness takes over the Sou’Wester as well as the adjacent forest, seashore and wild spaces. The event is free and open to all ages.

Examples of past Spaceness projects:

• sculptural performance-based work, where small packages of food wrapped in parachutes were launched from a cannon — visitors had to run to catch their lunch,

• a replica of the monolith from “2001: A Space Odessey” was installed mysteriously on the beach,

• a geodesic dome filled with hammocks and inflatable hot tubs was provided for all visitors to use,

• a dance interpretation of sci-fi classic “Invasion of the Bodysnatchers” was performed,

• a handpainted Roswell Crash Site Photo Booth was installed with a handmade alien crafted by a local puppet maker,

• an artist held a roundtable reading of the play “Macbeth” as if written by Philipp K. Dick.

Spaceness is curated and organized by Portland artists Julia Barbee, Matt Suplee and Alison Jean Cole and has been awarded funding by the Precipice Fund, Calligram Foundation, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, and the Portland chapter of the Awesome Foundation.
