September 20 Aquatic Life
Sasha Fishman https://sashafishman.com/, from New York City, has been artist in residence at ILY2 West. Her sculptures are themed on marine biology and sometimes involve pumps and water in the gallery. Strong vectors of her work are her own experimental materials made from the mud of hot springs, sea life, mycelium, and more.
Her show here, Shad Mode, is her readout of studying NW river life, including, salmon, sturgeon and lamprey eels.
"The show is a continuation of her interest in biomaterials, toxicology, and energy harvesting as points for critical analysis and mechanisms for sculpting. Driven by a fascination bordering on fixation with fish as both subject and object, Fishman’s practice prods the relationship between fish, their ecosystem, and their caretakers, asking the question: How do humans direct the evolution of a species, and how does a species exist beyond itself?

September 19-21 Movies of Movement
One of Portland's annual (modern) dance film festivals is back. It has three nights of programs explained on their website. The work originates in 14 countries.
Dance is a tough art form. It requires continuous training, a good floor, and a room that is not too cold or hot, no matter what the weather outside. It is real time, rarely stored, and dependent on audience support. It is not a Marvel film in the age of infinite reproduction.
The films are not documentation of a stage performance, they are a story told in dance. The works are each about 3 to 15 minutes in length.
You can see the https://portlanddancefilmfest.com/ at the Portland Art Museum Tomorrow Theater 3530 SE Division Friday, Saturday, and Sunday 7PM $15 each night

September 12 Outsider Naturalists
Nucleus brings a two person show of illustration work by Teagan White and Nicole Duennebier.
Illustration is a popular vector is Portland art, maybe we have nature's inspiration, long rainy hours and the patiencce for it. Nucleus wins a copywriting award for this desciption.
""Teagan White is an artist and outsider naturalist whose work arises from direct experience with natural phenomena and dedicated communication with the land. Through careful observation and poetic allegory, their paintings explore regional ecological issues such as drought, wildfire, habitat fragmentation, and biodiversity loss, as well as the universal spiritual and psychosomatic burden of our acquiescence to a necrotic, extractivist civilization.
Bleak only at surface level, their work is saturated with the conviction that other, stranger, and more beautiful ways of engaging with the world are not only possible but limitless, and that solutions won’t be found through exclusionary conservation, technocratic fantasies, or neocolonial exploitation, but through a return to devoted kinship with all beings.""
Nicole Duennebier hails all the way from Boston and is inspired by her time in Maine and its relationship with the sea.
