This month art gets some serious shows. Many close early at 8.
Ma'at Mons is a new show by ever evolving Storm Tharp. At PDX Contemporary Art www.pdxcontemporaryart.com 925 NW Flanders Map early close 8PM Free
Imogen Cunningham is a force of nature in the world of photography. You can read about her accomplishments. And you can enjoy this video of part of her appearance https://www.sfmoma.org/watch/imogen-cunningham-on-the-tonight-show-with-johnny-carson/ at age 93 on the Tonight Show. If you can find the full version, recommended, it gets even more funny! At Charles Hartman Fine Art www.hartmanfineart.net 134 NW 8th early close 8PM Free
Tom Prochaska is a painter and printmaker. His impressionistic portraits are enigmatic in their roughness of image and texture. Gail Tremblay is a contemporary sculptor weaving baskets with motion picture 35mm sprocketed filmstock. The work of both is strongly recommended. At Froelick Gallery www.froelickgallery.com 714 NW Davis early close 8 Free
Zun Lee has Father Figure, portraits of African American fathers. Manhood and fatherhood is explored in https://the1a.org/shows/2018-02-28/boys-to-men-how-masculinity-is-made. The show was curated far in advance, but discussing it is continuously critical. Michał Cała has Silesia, documenting that industrial area in Poland between 1975 and 1992. The Solidarity trade union - Solidarność, Soviet military exercises and dissolution of the Soviet Union, freeing Poland all changed Poland in that period. The dramas Man of Marble, Man of Iron and Man of Hope by Wajda capture that era and are recommended. At Blue Sky Gallery www.blueskygallery.org Map 122 NW 8th 6PM-9 Free
The Ace Hotel has started a First Thursday experimental music event curated by Sounds et al. It pairs well with Veriform's sound gallery First Thursday, but it detracts from people flowing to galleries and it is a very small space. This month: Marcus Fischer, Chloe Alexandra & Burke Jam. In the Ace Hotel Lobby 1022 SW Stark 6PM-8 Free
The Coldest Night is a show of paintings by Srijon Chowdhury. At UpFor Gallery www.upforgallery.com 929 NW Flanders early close 6PM-8 Free
The RACC + Open Signal Night Lights series of video projection continues. It's on the building wall at 411 NW Park 5PM-9ish
Every First Thursday, the Portland Art Museum is free from 5PM-8.
It is a great opportunity to see the year-long project by Libby Warbel: We Construct Marvels Between Monuments. Warbel is the creator of Portland's other art museum, the Portland Museum of Modern Art. Tonight is a performance by http://www.url-gurl.com/wizardapprentice/, infinitely better than the conceit that is The Apprentice. At Portlandartmuseum.org/exhibitions/we-construct-marvels-between-monuments/ Portland Art Museum www.portlandartmuseum.org 1219 SW Park 5PM-8 Free
PNCA is recommended to stop in. They have long time cycle shows and pop ups distributed throughout the building. PNCA www.pnca.edu 511 NW Broadway Map 6PM-9 Free
Everett Lofts are recommended as always. It's easier for you to see them all than for me to write suggestions. Some close as early as 9PM. At the Everett Lofts 625 NW Everett. Bounded by NW Everett, Broadway, Flanders and 6th Map closing ranges from 9PM-10:30ish, in cold Winter earlier
