Modou Dieng has been busy making his own work, teaching, freelance curating, and continues to lead art expeditions to Senegal, after closing his Worksound project. His latest project is the NOW Portland Triennale, scheduled for 2015. To kick off the project he presents Not So Quiet tonight. In his old Worksound space, there will be visual art, video, dance performance, poetry, DJ's and you.
The Triennale project will bring international artists, selected by international curators to multiple venues. Portland has good standing in national visual art circles. It's time to be known for world impact, and for Portland artists and audiences to become comfortable navigating world aesthetics.
Tonight Jason Traeger shows paintings; Anne Colvin, video; Barry Sanders talks criticism; Matthew Dickman reads poems; Renee Rhodes performs dance; and Golden Retriever performs.
