The big event this evening is the Oregon biennial of contemporary art.

It has had many homes and curators. Out of town curators can shake up natural insular patterns and provide a path to show out of town in the future. This year the curators are Jackie Im and Anuradha Vikram. Vikram took her degree in critical studies at CCA, then for 20 years has operated worldwide, in addition to teaching at UCLA. Im is based in the Bay Area and was a visiting faculty member at PNCA-Willamette which has given her some familiarity to artists in Oregon.

Artists are Carla Bengtson, Meech Boakye, Srijon Chowdhury, Epiphany Couch, Megita Denton, Michael Espinoza, Marcus Fischer, Bean Gilsdorf, Patricia Vázquez Gómez, Anne Greenwood, Bridgette Hickey, chimæra/project, Horatio Hung-Yan Law, Maxx Katz, Rainen Knecht, Methods Body, Morgan Ritter, Sarah Rushford, Tyler Stoll, UwU Collective, and Vo Vo.
