Mike Bray opens Fragments of an Unknowable Whole. It is a meditation on spectacle and the relationship between performer and audience inspired by a documentary, Gimme Shelter, on a performance by a band, the Rolling Stones. The film includes footage of the death by knife at the hands of a motorcycle gang hired as security of a fan in front of the stage with a gun while the band played. Bray is a founder of Ditch Projects. At Portland's only member of the New Art Dealers Alliance www.newartdealers.org, Fourteen30 Gallery www.fourteen30.com 1501 SW Market Street Map 6PM-8 Free
