Ethan Rose speaks at the Art Museum. It's part of the informal Artist Talk series in which an artist picks a favorite work, which a small audience of about 50 gather for the artist's discussion of their response to he work. It's a good way to get an insight into the processes of local artists. Rose has picked an Irwin sculpture, perhaps this is the gateway for a discussion of the Museum collecting sound work. At the Portland Art Museum www.pam.org 1219 SW Park 6PM-8 $5 members, otherwise regular admission $12 so tour the Museum before
Pecha Kucha is back at The Plant. We've written about Pecha Kucha before, the international seres of open source short visual talks on design. Speakers tonight are Pippa Arend (pearmentor.org)& Charles Gullung (cgullung.com), Brian Jones (brianrjones.com), Genevieve Dellinger (the joinery.com), Edgar Papazian (doonarch.com), Mike Merrill (kmikeym.com & urbanhonking.com), Severin Villiger, Meghan Sinnott & Lillian Karabaic (http://shift2bikes.org/wnbr/countdown.php) and Wayne Bund (waynebund.blogspot.com). The early Portland Pecha Kucha's were exciting, but the last, at bside6 did not wow. Hope they have gotten their groove back for this instance. The audience is always a creative mix, so recommended on that basis alone. Presented in cooperation with the Portland AIA Architecture and Design Festival. At the salad warehouse 939 SE Alder Doors 7:30PM, talks 8:20 (20:20) Free (donations encouraged)
