"For as long as humans have gazed into the dark, there have been cats and bats staring back. From divine guardians to ominous omens, these otherworldly creatures have captivated the human imagination for centuries.
The cat: collaborator of witches, its flashing, changeable eyes glinting with nocturnal mischief.
The bat: a messenger of the underworld, a velvet-winged omen overhead.
[The show] summon[s] the humor, tenderness, and strangeness of these animals. Part séance, part pet portrait, part garage-sale coven, this exhibition conjures a shared love of magic(k) and mystery through drawing, painting, installation and assemblage."
Fidler has been exploring iconic mysticism for a few years, so we are excited to see this.

October 2 Westside Art Openings+
October is Portland Textile Month so some galleries have shows on that theme.
The Urban Art Network occupies 13th with all their booths of stuff.
Illy2, Adams and Ollman, Elizabeth Leach, Stelo, PDX Contemporary and Froelick continue.
For your +1 you can experience Flamenco music with guitarist Brenna McDonald and guitarist/vocalist Yeshe Wingerd. A project of Espacio Flamenco, it repeats on first Thursdays. At Bar Botellón 606 NE Davis 7PM-9 Free

Law and culture are sticky wickets. The Dakota Access Pipeline met culture in people camping and demonstrating against it.
(Long)
Humans are thought by science to have emerged about 200-300 thousand years ago in Africa.
They migrated to fill the earth, arriving in North America about 20 thousand years ago. They came to the Dakotas about 13 thousand years ago.
It is thought that the Vikings came to North America about a thousand years ago. Columbus came in about 1492, about 500 years ago with a proclamation in Spanish that any who did not convert to Christianity could be justifiably killed.
English settlers to the Eastern US brought law. It was based on the Magna Carta and English common law, then the US Constitution about 238 years ago.
The native Cherokees developed a written language and written law insnpired by the settlers. Their existance was outlawed by the state, then Native soveignity was upheld in the Supreme Court case Worchester vs Georgia.
President Andrew Jackson, Indian fighter, was reported to say, "the supreme court has made their decision, let them enforce it," the decision, about 190 years ago. Then he proceeded to remove the native peoples in the Trail of Tears.
The 10th Amendment to the US Constitution reserves law to the states unless by act of Congress.
Congressional energy acts moved policy to the federal government. Water law is largely state by state. Natural gas pipelines have much federal authority, ironically because of natural gas deregulation from the late 1970s into the 1980s. Oil pipelines are on their own with the states along with electricty transmission lines.
Meanwhile there is legislation and case law on the rights of tribes. I always respect the great native poet and musician John Trudell. I think 1974 Boldt over reached. And I believe tribes, whose interests will be destroyed by climate change, are faulty opposing clean energy, for example, opposing the Goldendale storage project. Indian strategy needs the next generation.
The Standing Rock protest for the Dakota Access Pipeline has many points of law and commen sense culture any can research. It is the subject of this art show.
In that context, Tonita Cervantes https://www.cervantesnomad.photography brings photography show of the Standing Rock protest in show entitled Black Snake Killaz.

September 20 Aquatic Life
Sasha Fishman https://sashafishman.com/, from New York City, has been artist in residence at ILY2 West. Her sculptures are themed on marine biology and sometimes involve pumps and water in the gallery. Strong vectors of her work are her own experimental materials made from the mud of hot springs, sea life, mycelium, and more.
Her show here, Shad Mode, is her readout of studying NW river life, including, salmon, sturgeon and lamprey eels.
"The show is a continuation of her interest in biomaterials, toxicology, and energy harvesting as points for critical analysis and mechanisms for sculpting. Driven by a fascination bordering on fixation with fish as both subject and object, Fishman’s practice prods the relationship between fish, their ecosystem, and their caretakers, asking the question: How do humans direct the evolution of a species, and how does a species exist beyond itself?
