Caldera is a great Oregon arts residency. It is a Summer art camp for at risk youth. In Winter, sometimes, but not this year, snowed in, it's a residency for grown artists. The artists' studios are open, and the work made on view, a few hours of a few days in a year. Today see musician Christi Denton, photographer Jim Leisly, filmmaker Alain Letourneau, writer Maxim Loskutoff and artist Katie Rose Pipkin. Details:

We are not a fan of artworks derivative of (sampled from) pop culture. The audience that can relate to the work is too narrow for the work to be meaningful. But we often do like what Disjecta does. Tonight Disjecta does an artwork derived from a television (television??) series that broadcast (broadcast?) between 1993 and 2002. We're going to be at Multiplex. Details at www.disjecta.org/exhibitions-events/zero. Opening at Disjecta, in the shadow of Paul Bunyan www.disjecta.org 8371 N. Interstate Map 6PM-10
