The more international artists exhibiting in Portland and Portland artists exhibiting internationally, the better. The gallery in a garage around the corner has had internatonal artists, including a Slovenian artist who had previously exhibited in Eurpoean museums. Now Ampersand hosts a show of artists from Argentina.
Photographer Lorena Guillen Vaschetti, the last left of a large Italian family was able to save only one box of vintage 35mm film slides discarded by her mother. She has rephotographed those images, changing the focus, in a show Historia, memoria y silencios, also published as a book. The work is exhibited alongside landscape paintings by her mother, Norma Vaschetti. There is more information on the Ampersand website about the project.
