There is an art vector tracing between San Francisco and Portland. We have several edge-seeking artists from there here, including Patrick Rock and Harrell Fletcher. In turn, they draw San Francisco artists here to exhibit, talk and perform. Jennifer Locke is a San Francisco performance artist and curator of a visual and documentary show opening Friday at PSU. Tonight she, Keke Hunt and Nicole McClure perform live and in person. Expect a fluid and challenging evening in a good way. Rocksbox is a place for Portland's most contemporary artists to converse and experience art beyond the warm and fuzzy Portlandia genres. Always recommended.
