Kudos to 2010 Portland art biennial curator, Chris Moss, for including performance by artists. Tonight there are two. Tahni Holt, modern dancer, performance artist, installationalist, social practice artist and collaborator with sculptors is first. She presents Culture Machine tonight Friday, then Saturday and Sunday in the Disjecta Space.
The Oregon Painting Society has often accompanied installation with music. Tonight they do so at their sprawling installation in the Templeton Building. Joining them will be perfomalists Wooly Mammoth Comes To Dinner. One night, Friday.
