March 16 & 18 The Journey of Gómez-Peña
Guillermo Gómez-Peña is a Mexican artist, performer, visionary, and social critic. Some of his work has been humorous, but it has all been pointed.
Back when he was collaborating with Coco Fusco, another brilliant cultural critic and performer, they performed at the Portland Art Museum. After that, a new museum director started having prayer meetings in the museum at lunch time and refocused the museum on old French impressionist masters. The contemporary art program exited. John Weber went to SFMOMA, now he is director of the Schnitzer Museum at UofO in Eugene. Kristy Edmunds formed PICA with support of several Jewish members of the museum board who the new director made uncomfortable. Edmunds is now at MassMOCA nee UCLA and Melbourne.
He brings 2 events.
For The Pandemia Chronicles, he uses the John Cage method to randomly select material to present and perform. "Utilizing a casino roulette spinner to select his live spoken word texts and props, he is unplugged, thinking out loud and articulating the challenges and possibilities of reinvention during confinement and in the midst of multiple pandemics." He is joined by his wife and performance partner Balitronica Gómez. That event is at Pacific University.
He is doing a similar remix in a brief one hour retrospective performance from his archives at the Portland Art Museum. Much of Wednesday is poetic reading. Friday he started with his birth and about the first 30 of his performance years. You can start with the show announcements, see the performances, then dig into his work as you like. Much of his historic work would be considered contemporary today.

March 5 Headstrong Groundhog Evening Ear Object Recognition Paradise
Portland has a history of galleries in private homes, their outbuildings, and in live-work spaces. It's like Manhattan's apartment gallery popups. Painter curator Srijon Chowdhury has his own Chicken Coop Gallery. Today he has a show at SE Cooper Contemprary. His Groundhog Day show "resonates with solitude and repetitiveness that has become ordinary. Subject matter fluctuates between still life, portraits, and floral imagery, communicating intimate domestic stories that might not entirely be what they seem. Subjects' interior lives are intertwined with fantastical objects often seen in a film, folklore, and religious story. The emotive work in the exhibition displays striking moments of hope and possibility" according to the show writer. The opening was in February. It's at SE Cooper Contemprary https://www.secoopercontemporary.com/ 6901 SE 110th 11AM-5 Saturdays Free
Blue Sky and the Nines move their first Thursday opening to Saturday day today. It gives the space a little more tempral breathing room. Abendlied (Evening Song) are photographs of her family's home as her mother ages out in dementia by German-Canadian photographer Birthe Piontek. In a way, it relates to the Kabakov's Treatement with Memories. I have a friend in this now. After several successful careers, including writing a book about genetics and male calicos, they set out to write a book on the entire history of written language intertwined with watching a neighbor child grow up manufesting dislexia. The dementia lost the book with their long term memory. HeadStrong: The Women of Rural Uganda is a photo essay by Dan Nelkin with narratives by Beatrice Lamwaka. The Nines Gallery has to touch, to touch, drawings and etchings by Linda Hutchins. It is her longtime minimal work. At Blue Sky Gallery www.blueskygallery.org Map 122 NW 8th 6PM-9 Free

March 4 Celilo - Never Silenced
The New World, the US, the West, the Northwest, and us have Native American artists in our midst. Meet them. Some are the inaugural visual arts show at the Reser Performing Arts Center in Beaverton. It is the first public event in the space.
Don Bailey, Rick Bartow, Joe Cantrell, Jonnel Covault, Ed Edmo, Joe Fedderson, Analee Fuentes, Sean Gallagher, Lillian Pitt, Pah-tu Pitt, Richard Rowland, Sara Siestreem, Gail Tremblay, and Richard York show. Marie Watt is another not in this show, and she does large public sculptures and installations.
There are talks with several of the artists 2PM, March 13, and April 30, see the link.
The announcement wins the copywriting award for the month: "Our lives flow in historic currents, sometimes direct and personal, others, more distant. As NChi’Wana (the Columbia River) runs through our communities, the past flows through us, literally, culturally, and figuratively, defining the lives of people connected to it. Wyam (Celilo Falls), sacred and primary to Indigenous people for hundreds of miles around, was destroyed by The Dalles Dam in 1957, obliterating a way of life, a thriving fishery, and far more than that. The flooded falls displaced those who celebrated and relied upon its essential life-giving forces, destroying a vital culture."
This new venue is right on the TriMet MAX train line.
