April 5 Circuit Bending Broadcast and Portland Art Confab

Tonight the Video Gentlemen host an evening of circuit bending and secret broadcasts from the Bring Your Own TV(.pdf) video installation at the New American Art Union. Circuit bending is the DIY craft of modifying consumer electronic devices to experimental creative ends. Sound making and speaking toys can be placed into the unexpected service of art and performance. It is the same with video. See and hear it tonight at the New American Art Union www.newamericanartunion 922 SE Ankeny 7PM Free



The Cascade AIDS Project has been in operation since 1983. Focus has shifted to Africa as epidemic reservoir, CAP is concentrated on local. So in the spirit of "think global, act local", the Cascade AIDS Project has a large art auction to raise funds yearly. For artists, being involved means their work will be seen by the guest curator and by Portland art collectors. Thus the selection represents the curator view, especially for the live patron auction, and the inertia of historical participating galleries and artists. The curator this year is the curator of the Lewis and Clark gallery. It is also a social event for the artists, an opportunity to dress up.
