September 2 Westside Art Openings

Justine Kurland is a brilliant photographer. Her career launched as part of the infamous 1999 Yale-school show, Another Girl, Another Planet. While shocking to some critics in the day, Kurland taps some pretty transcendent memes: childhood, utopia, wilderness, mythology. Her breakthrough work featured girls on a plucky and lighthearted Huckleberry Finn adventure sometimes on the broken margins of contemporary society. Subsequent work, such as Old Joy, utilizes Oregon's bold wilderness as a background for her characters. Her work documenting present day utopian communes is compelling. She has continued her Western expeditions with This Train is Bound for Glory. It captures the lonely travels of freight trains in the middle of a beautiful nowhere, sometimes with a glimpse of the trainriders. The work will be released in book form. Also at Leach, Stephen Hayes has very excellent abstract landscape monoprints inspired by Terry Toedtemeier’s Wild Beauty. At Elizabeth Leach Gallery www.elizabethleach.com map 417 NW 9th



Adam Sorenson has some new stunning schematic landscapes. They tap the patterns and illumination styles of Japanese design while being a strong extension of his previous mystical landscape themes. Many illustrate the dramatic mountains and waterfalls in traditional Japanese and Chinese landscape illustration of the last 1000 years. Chinese and Japanese culture holds mountains and the landscape sacred, in different traditions. They are a mystical place of enightenment and home to spirits. Recommended. At PDX Contemporary Art www.pdxcontemporaryart.com map 925 NW Flanders early close 8PM


Blue Sky continues with contemporary themes in the work of London RCA grad Danny Treacy. Treacy makes self portraits in mashups of discarded clothing. Carl Corey presents interior landscapes of Wisconsin bars. Many are elaborate and breathe historical artifact. It would make a great diptych with an earlier show of Mississippi Delta juke joints by Birney Imes, work pioneered by Blue Sky. At Blue Sky Gallery www.blueskygallery.org map 122 NW 8th



Augen has former Portlander Dharma Strasser Maccoll, known for pattern-based work of organic elements contributing to abstract illustrations of nature. At Augen Gallery www.augengallery.com 716 NW Davis



Chris Hornbecker has his 1 Millimeter Project, constructed around slightly more than a year of daily photographs. The conceit is that they were made at lens focal lengths of 14mm through 400mm, incrementing 1mm in each step. Krista Connerly & Mark Shepherd, exhibiting as Luvers, has Waterfall: A Torrential Love Story. They are the artifacts of Luver's broken superhero Black Diamond, waterfall hunter. A perfect theme for our water myth infused Northwest. At W+K www.wk.com 224 NW 13th 5PM-9 Free

September 2 Thoughts on the World Court

The International Criminal Tribunal sits in The Hague, Netherlands. The Court operates by treaty, its signatories creating its authority. A current case involves warlord president Charles Taylor, on trial for promulgating a brutal civil war in Sierra Leone to gain control over the country's diamond resources. Taylor is thought to have traded diamonds for arms provided by Victor Bout. As reported by Washington Port correspondent Doug Farah, Taylor's diamonds were also used by al Qaeda to convert bank assets to untracable diamonds before 9/11.

Journalist Judith Armatta and lawyer Norm Sepenuk debate an early World Court case, that of Slobodan Milošević, who died in the midst of a five year trial. Armatta is a human rights activist and author of a book on the trial. Sepenuk is a defense lawyer who defended Dragoljub Ojdanic against charges of genocide and ethnic cleansing.

This should be a fascinating, though probably depressing, discussion of the World Court, its effectiveness, or lack thereof, and its applicability to current conflicts. Sponsored by the World Affairs Council of Oregon. www.worldoregon.org Advance tickets on their website are required. At the Mercy Corps Action Center www.actioncenter.org 28 SW 1st 7PM $10

August 26 Last Thursday on Alberta

Light art, art involving light, is a rare and beautiful medium. It is magical and almost weightless. Plus it takes place in the dark. If you have ever seen a large scale Turrell, you know. He did a spectacular walk in work, Spread, at the Henry Art Gallery in Seattle. The Henry also has a permanent Turrell light room.

Hughes is experimenting with similar and we are looking forward to that evolution. An ephemeral mark in light on the way will be her installation tonight at Appendix Project Space. On the alley between 26th and 27th, South of Alberta. www.appendixspace.com Map 6-10ish Free



Portland artist Midori Hirose has a beautiful Portland history of work. Earlier it incorporated touches of kawaii. Her evolving work still incorporates bright elements, but the geometries are more complex. Hirose is comfortable in 2d and 3d, interesting to see how she occupies this garage space. At Little Field Gallery, on the alley between 28th and 29th North of Alberta. www.appendixspace.com Map 6-9ish Free



Together has Jay Howell's I Understand, and I wish to continue; Mission style vibe. Also, from LA, Hannah Staufer's Ritual Magick. It mixes bright chaos with landscape and animal illustration samples in a neo-mythology. Together Gallery www.togethergallery.com 2916 NE Alberta, Ste A Map

August 13 Papergirl PDX and Worksound Wears It

Wearable art is a concept that bubbles below the surface of academic definitions of art, but has its own infinite vibrancy as a branch of everyday expression. Especially true in Portland, where long time craft traditions meet new art grads, meet the concentration of clothing and volume footwear manufacturers.

Many artists push art with a clothing element far beyond the craft realm with idea based clothing art, art clothing incorporated into performance and clothing art never intended to be worn. Some fabricate work from whole cloth, others sample vintage, tapping a sustainability and reuse idea. For instance see the work of Lucy Orta.

This is Worksound's take on what's happening in wearable art here. Artists include Katie Behel, making jewelry, cuffs, collars and neckties from cloth and rubber; Deanna Bredthauer, whose PNCA thesis was a tribute to her mother in the form of heroic dresses from vintage materials; Palma Corral, forming art from iconic and material language; Alex Dolan, and his reverse shoplifting program at Urban Outfitters (See RTMark for famous history in reverse shoplifting art); Abraham Ingle, who uses art as urban lens; Hoyun Son, noted for her performances; Aaron Terry, with work inspired by magical urban myth; Devon Maldonado; and Iris Stevenson,from Germany. It's an ambitious show of early and early-mid career artists pushing some boundaries.

At Worksound www.worksoundpdx.com 820 SE Alder 6PM-10



PaperGirl is a project hat started in Berlin. It replicated to Portland last year, and continues tonight. Artists contribute works on paper, which will be shown this evening.

August 12 Stephen Slappe at Grand Detour

Grand Detour continues its summer screening series with the films of Stephen Slappe. Local art prof Slappe reprises his Shelter In Place, an ambitious three screen memoir of the mediasphere of his youth, using vintage footage of the time. The work could only have been made possible by Ruth Ann Brown's Couture series of installation commissions, where the work showed first. Slappe is easily the most successful Portland artist working in multi-screen video. Smart work. At Grand Detour grand-detour.org, 215 SE Morrison Street, Suite 2020. 8PM Arrive within 15 minutes of start for admission due to building security.

August 9 Front Line Photography & Fish Extinction

It's your worldchanging Monday.

Tonight is a little different for the Bright Light series of planning, architecture and sustainability talks. In some ways it is the polar opposite: disrupted planning, destroyed architecture, tenuous sustainability transformed to raw survival.

Cassandra Nelson presents photographs and stories from ten years of Mercy Corps projects, as member of the very first teams to arrive at large scale disasters. Not for the faint of heart. Her primary role in each case has been to be the field spokesperson for Mercy Corps, shaping the narrative to focus on human needs. She is also the lead Mercy Corps field photographer.

It is part of the Bright Lights series sponsored by the local architecture magazine Portland Monthly and the City Club, a thoughtful public interest group.

At Jimmy Mak's, 221 NW 10th. Doors 5:30PM, discussion 6. Free



Three blocks away, author Paul Greenberg speaks at Powell's. Greenberg is the author of Four Fish: The Future of the Last Wild Food. We eat little wild food. We've changed the land and changed the environment sufficiently to make it impossible. Our population density works against it too. The only exception is fish. Huge factory ships, up to 475 feet long, can capture as much as 100 tons of fish per hour, fillet and freeze it at sea. But even small boats are capable of destroying a fishery.

Author Greenberg traces the commercial history of the wild salmon, tuna, bass and cod; and their depletion. Salmon, for instance, are no longer viable in most of the North Atlantic, here, seriously depleted in the Sacramento River basin. Mediterranean tuna, which return to their birthplace to spawn, the same. He looks at fish farming, the inevitable future, though not entirely desirable, from the standpoint of the fish ground into fish meal to raise them. His conclusion is sustainable, industrial farming of species with a lighter impact on the seas, and allowing wild fish to again thrive. I'm a fish eater. This is food for thought. Greenberg speaks at Powell's Books www.powells.com 1005 W Burnside 7:30PM Free

August 5 Westside Art Openings

Data visualization is all the rage. That's good. It can be a big help understanding the world's problems with a view to a solution. Perhaps it is the result of a few aesthetic generations' exposure to the great work of Edward Tufte. Maybe in a few years, these 2d visualizations will have the feel we have today for Eames or Charles Joseph Minard. That's because data visualization is continually improving on the way to full moving 3d immersion. Tonight is an opportunity to sample the current state. Noted data-vis designer Aaron Koblin shows examples tonight. Koblin's work is in MOMA's permanent collection and he received a first place award from the NSF for his work. At W+K www.wk.com 224 NW 13th 5PM-9 Free

Getting into group think is an unusual triple bill: Antonio Martinez, Near the Egress - video installation and frame by tintypes; Jim Vecchi, so much depends...; and Lori Waselchuk, Grace Before Dying. Near the Egress was shot at a circus. We all have childhood memories of circuses and zoos; as adults, we have mixed emotions owing captive wild animals. Waselchuk has documented maximum security prisoners caring for fellow terminally ill prisoners at Louisiana's Angola State Penitentiary. Most of the prisoners are serving life with no possibility of parole. They will die there. Weighty material, but the program has greatly improved the prison community.

It's also a record of the personal impact of India's intensity, vastness, rapid change and long history. At Stumptown Belmont www.stumptowncoffee.com 3356 SE Belmont Street 5PM-7

August 2 Body Habitat Readout

Migration and exploration are our twin romances as a species. From the origins of life there has been migration. But the emergence of bipeds with a beefy neocortex in Africa brings us to Portland today. Somewhere in Africa over 200 thousand years ago we find fossil evidence of homo sapiens. A more detailed genetic analysis finds a mitochondrial "Eve" about that time and a Y-chromosomal "Adam" about 60 thousand years ago incorporating the L2 genetic unit, which is associated in some theories with a great leap forward in human creativity. From Africa, our ancestors migrated by foot to cover Earth, excepting Antarctica, before the age of fossil fuels.

Central to human creativity is exploration. Between twin reward systems, one for familiarity and one for the novel, exploration rewards novel. We have records of explorers from the first recorded history, the Egyptians, Chinese, Greeks. We have a romance with exploration. We study the history of the names that survived. Names like Marco Polo, Columbus, Stanley, the first astronauts and cosmonauts.

The definition of contemporary art evolves continually. It firmly includes exploration by artists walking such as Francis Alÿs, Janet Cardiff and Lone Twin. Lone Twin inspired Portland and Corvallis artists Lily Gael & Lisa Wells to walk from Corvallis to Portland, recording their experience in their blog Body Habit. They arrive in Portland to report in person on their project tonight. It's at At Performance Works Northwest www.performanceworksnw.org 6:30PM Free
