February 28 Office on the Waterfront

Ziba Design conceived an arts focus to creating community in a neighborhood created from scratch, and a construction zone for the foreseeable future. That would be the South Waterfront, towers opposite Ross Island, at the base of the Tram and fronting the riverfront bike path. Monthly, artists take up residence making site specific art. This month, photographer Chris Rauschenberg presents his work at SoWa. Rauschenberg is known for urban documentary photography worldwide, including Paris, the Portland Grid Project and elsewhere. A world renowned photographer who happens to live here. For this project, Rauschenberg photographed residents and their inside spaces. Visit the project website for a map.

Art and design is a continuum and it is sad insecurity when one ridicules the other. Office PDX is trying to bridge the gap. Tonight they present the art of two designers. Heather Amuny-Dey, designer, artist and Dora Drimalas, designer, artist and creator of SF store Super-7. 21+ as New Deal is sponsoring. At Office PDX 2204 NE Alberta 6PM-8 Free
