It’s quarter past nine on a recent Friday night. A crowd of 20-somethings mills outside Cairo, a shoebox art gallery and performance space along the Summit/Mercer enclave of Capitol Hill. Inside another 50 or so people admire the weekend’s installation, a giant, 8-by-8-foot wall hanging known semi-ironically as “The Incest Map.” The work of KEXP communications manager Rachel Ratner and poster artist Keith Whiteman, the map started in September on a legal pad, Ratner’s six-degrees game between her bands and her friends’. It’s a graphic representation of various bands in and around Seattle and the members they share. This night more than 350 groups are logged, circled and linked.
