David Knowles is a photographer, graphic designer, book designer, performer and curator working in Portland. He has a firm footing in the book world, including at Publication Studio. Perhaps that is why his show titles are themselves almost an artist statement. "It was not so important - who did it and where they went. There was, after all, only one of them." is his new show opening tonight. At False Front Studio www.falsefrontstudio.com 4518 NE 32nd Map 7PM-10 Free
