March 15 Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow Secret Water Memory
Donald Lloyd Morgan is the cofounder of Ditch Projects and professor at the UofO. If you know Ditch, his usually abstract drawings would fit right in there and he does playful sculpture too.
The show: "Tomorrow was Yesterday includes recent drawings and a sculpture that create a visual language of corroborating evidence, pulled from the overflowing storage locker of information that lives behind our eyes. Morgan often starts drawings by tracing the outlines of the cover of a paperback book, providing a familiar form to anchor viewers. Tools, shapes and signs, known to the artist, accumulate like notes or a tune in an improvisational context. They are then let loose on the page, like giving over to the impulse of just doing without overthinking. In this compressed time frame, there are often forms that have a visual connection to the structure of short-form stories, poems or three-minute songs. In other instances, a more imaginary and chaotic adaptation is applied to the pieces.
Drawings not intentionally responding to the structure of poems or emphasizing visual alignment with the mood of a short story develop in ways where such connections to the source material are less evident. These works explore figure-ground relationships, creating contrasts between different patterns and textures, and the interplay of flatness and illusory depth. This consistent push-and-pull builds a lyrical quality or syntax into the compositions, leaving viewers questioning how they perceive the page.
The themes in Morgan’s work—including humor, mortality, and superstition—are extensive but have a unique ecology that shepherd us toward exploration. This sense of discovery and uncertainty is part of understanding what it means to be human while acknowledging that human-ness is ever shifting and never gospel."

Lowell is a shop with art shows. Today Water Memory, paintings, by Jesi Jordan & Nick Carter, opens.
"Nick Carter approaches his work from a fiber, craft, & sculpture background, using traditional methods like Shibori dyeing & machine embroidery as a framework for abstract painting. Nick hand-works familiar materials into vibrant, patterned pieces that are at once comforting & psychedelic, balancing between object & image.
Jesi Jordan creates surreal, figurative paintings through a process of automatism & metamorphosis. Jesi’s works connect vivid imagery of the cosmos & nature with emotional introspection & psychic transformation in repeating forms of women, celestial bodies, fruit, & flowers.
shown together, Nick & Jesi’s divergent mediums continually shift our perspective & vision, while reciprocating color & form in delightful & surprising ways."

March 14-16 Coastal Art Weekend
Sou'Wester Lodge is a vintage trailer hotel. In Seaview, Washington, they are on the fault line and wipeout by tsunamis from the Really Big One https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/07/20/the-really-big-one. Friends of mine survived the 2004 tsunami in Asia, many did not. Friends provided relief Tohoku 3-11.
A long time ago, friends created Spaceness at Sou'wester, a week for artists to make work themed on aliens and the paranormal. The last three years a new curtorial team has moved from that theme, and this year are curating in Seattle artists.
The Sou'wester Lodge art weekend has expanded to support an art space in Ilwaco, a very low budget hamlet in the Southern Long Beach penninsula by the bridge.
For this project a curatorial committe on the project website collects artist residency applications. You could be one!
The artists work for a week at a minimal hotel fee. They guest you me and everyone we know to experience the work and meet the artists. It is family friendly. Some events are children workshops.

March 12 Dolphin Love
The Boathouse Microcinema is back. It is a live-work studio in the Unkles artist warehouse portfolio. It is very small, and Willamette Week, unwisely in my opinion, promoted it. Over promoting small events breaks the natural process of gradual face-to-face community building. An example was the Pander studio show in the Modish Building. There will be a line and only a few will get in, think 60. Maybe in the Summer they can move outside.
Tonight is a program of shorts: Roland Dahwen – TBA, Leslie Hickey – Phone / Memory, Lily King – November 20, 2024, Brandon Marcoux and Mariana Mora – Two, Fernand Rudolph – music videos, Matthew Nash – Leaving it Behind, Kai Nealis – Queen and Sarah Turner – But… You’re a Dolphin.
Sarah Turner was half of the Mobile Projection Unit, went to grad school, and is producing unique humorous work with the online sex industry as an ingredient. Her dolphin short relates to John Lilly's famous dolphin love projects.
It is in an industrial area. Do not park on, or overhanging the width of a train, the railroad tracks. They are active. Your car will either be smashed to bits, towed, or both.

March 12 - September 7 Dissident Art
Ai, Rebel: The Art and Activism of Ai Weiwei is a retrospective in Seattle. He has taken many risks in his work, and has arguably been the most effective modern art activist.
Portland's Contemporary Craft Gallery had early the Dropping a Han Dynasty Urn, 1995 in 2010. The Film Center brought fimmaker Alison Klayman with Ai Weiwei Never Sorry in 2015. That film is not hard to stream today. That was adjacent to a loan to the museum under the Oregon sandwich tax scheme of Circle of Animals/Zodiac Heads: Gold. Weiwei is probably out of Portland's price range now.
Weiwei's autobiography 1000 Years of Joys and Sorrows is encyclopedic in its sadness and injustice. It is well worth a read. The artists has continued his activist art project with a focus on refugees. That has been much more intense in Europe than the US with the foolish and expensive "Axis of Evil" wars. It has brought down several European governments, and more may yet fall.
The Seattle Art museum mounts a retrospective of Ai Weiwei's work. It includes 130 works and spans the downtown museum, the Volunteer Park Asian Art Museum, and in the Olymic Sculpture Garden, Circle of Animals/Zodiac Heads: Bronze, from May 17, 2025–May 17, 2027.
Throughout the show, the museum shows just about every film on the topic of the artist, many free.

March 1 Old Fashioned
Old Fashioned is often used as a dimunitive adjective. I'm missing old fashioned rule of law, an indepensent judiciary, separation of powers, an educated populace, and science. Old fashioed bodily autonomy is always good. Old fashioed honesty. The problem with lies is that they are always discovered. An instructive film is The Nasty Girl. It may take time, but the lies are always found.
Jodie Cavalier and Alley Frey open a new independent space, Old Fashioned Gallery. Their first show is Dina No. No crafts tablewear. For this show she has ceramic artworks.
