September 6 The Rose

Hi Books is one of Portland's unique small shops for art books and periodicals. Justine Kurland is a noted photographer who curated a show by women collage artists, The Rose, for the Lumber Room. https://portlandorusnow.blogspot.com/2023/07/july-29-30-lumber-rose.html. The Rose has a catalog, The Rose: A Circular Genealogy of Collage. Kurland visits to launch it and sign copies today. It is a limited edition of 1000.

I discovered Kurland's work through Linda Ferris' Contemporary Art Project and have followed her work since, She studied with Gregory Crewdson and was part of the Another Girl, Another Planet show. She has documented Oregon communes, and collaborated in short book, Old Joy, with Jon Raymond.
