Drawing has undergone a resurgence. From the mundane to the profound. Emily Prince spans both in a good way. "Familiar" are drawings of objects from Prince's living space, grouped. Sadly profound are Prince's "Memorial Drawings", drawings of each soldier killed in Iraq, mapped by hometown. Memorial Drawings was selected for the Venice Biennale. Prince speaks at the PSU artist lecture series. Early arrival suggested as it's been SRO. At the 5th Ave Cinemas 510 SW Hall Room 92 7:30PM Free
Pecha-Kucha emerged in the creative community in Japan to present primarily visual material influencing designers and artists across language boundaries. Thanks Teruo Kurosaki and John Jay for cluing us in. Its Portland instantiation is organized by urban design architecture house Works Partnership. So far it has hewed to the urban design theme, physical, political and social. Tonight's organizing thought is "Hidden and Apparent Constructs". The first one was packed as has been a similar program Ignite, emerging from the software book publishing and open source community, albeit with a more random focus. Tonight's Pecha-Kucha is at Imago Theater 17 SE 8th 7:20PM by donation
