April 28 Puzzle, Puzzle on the Wall
A puzzle within a puzzle in a garage.
Cherry & Lucic is a gallery in a garage created by Eleanor Ford, John Knight and Kyle Raquipiso. They have very occasional shows by regional and international artists.
Tonight they open a show by artist project Henry Codax. The three garage Codax are accompanied by mono prints.
They are large monochrome canvases, mining Les Arts Incohérents monochromes of 130 years ago. Henry Codax is an anonymous artist rumored to be a collaboration between Jacob Kassay and Olivier Mosset. Both artists have denied a connection to Codax. Their artist representative has seeded the unsigned work into international galleries. Some have been purchased. Some have been, or have attempted to be, flipped on the auction market, perhaps on the speculation Kassay, at age 28, has had auction sales at 1.8 million. Puzzles.

April 20 Veering Wild Guerrillas on the Loose!

Not art, but aural fun. Laura Viers plays the Laurelthirst Pub happy hour with her famous pick up band this evening. This Wednesday and next. Before the Case/Lang/Viers tour. She is known for her collaborations with other musicians, great songwriting, a good sense of humor and a super voice. At Laurelthirst Pub www.laurelthirst.com/events/ 2958 NE Glisan 6PM-8 Free
One of the great things about being anonymous is that you can operate outside of the space time continuum. That has been the modus of the Guerrilla Girls since 1985. Performing in disguise, they have been an ever changing group which can be everywhere at once and nowhere at the same time.
Their mission has been to very effectively put the art world on notice that there are actually women artists in the world.
They have done it with data, humor and great design.
In an age of infinite reproduction, some individuals with a theater bent have created Guerrilla Girls on Tour, similar to Pussy Riot on tour. Guerrilla Girls on Tour and Guerrilla Girls are seperate things in the space time continuum.
Guerrilla Girls on Tour has sold out, or rather their performance tonight at Reed is sold out. But there is a night-of waiting list. The Guerrilla Girls on Tour events.reed.edu/posts/2015-16/guerrilla-girls-on-tour.html. At Reed College Diver Studio Theatre, 3203 SE Woodstock Blvd. 8:15PM

April 16 CARPA Place
Craft Advanced Research Projects Agency CARPA / CARPA. is in residence at PNCA. Their project runs parallel to Switzerland's EToy.
They are a parody of ARPA/DARPA, a USA Department of Defense agency with essentially unlimited resources to pursue new technologies which the military could use. ARPA/DARPA created the early space program and they created the Internet. They have been seeding robotics and self-driving cars. They are great to follow if you are curious. On the other hand it sad to have the brightest people in the country thinking up better ways to kill people at great expense.
So CARPA arranges new crafts and crafts intervention in good world changing with a sense of humor too, and on a minimal budget!
This afternoon they complete their residency with participation by PNCA students and you.
They definitely win the copywriting award for the month:

Tonight Sue Taylor moderates a discussion between Michelle Grabner, Pat Boas and Prudence Roberts. Taylor is one of the few arts writers in Portland consistently publishing outside Oregon. Roberts is a noted curator with long game deep Portland and NW art experience, including with the Museum.
The discussion will be on NW regionalism in contemporary art in the context of world art.
