A few years back, Disjecta went to a rotating curator system. For a year or two the curator, often from out of town, discovers Portland artists, gives them an export channel and imports national and international artists.
This is the first show by curator Rachel Adams.
The show is Intimate Horizons: Claire Ashley and Bahar Yurukoglu. Ashley makes inflatable sculptures. Yurukoglu projects landscape she has videoed onto environments built in the gallery. They also prepare a work together for Disjecta.
