A long time ago, it is said, immigrant-refugees Joseph and Mary gave birth to Jesus camping out in a stable. It parallels current events. So it compels artists to comment by reinterpreting it, including creating a distance from the commercial orgy.

December 6 Westside Art Openings+
There is a lot of somnambul in shows this month for various reasons. First, people spend less on art in December. Second, gallerists and collectors may be sunning at Art Basel Miami. Third, laziness. If they had something to say, we would say. But otherwise:
Many galleries are continuing November shows. They are in our November post.
An early kick off is at Downtown Stumptowm. Amy Bernstein is an abstract oil painter making colorful, minimal works. She is also a great writer, bringing a poetic tone to critical art writing. She is the latest Stumptown Artist Fellow, and the show of her work opens tonight. It's a great early start to First Thursday's gallery happenings. At Stumptown www.stumptowncoffee.com 128 SW 3rd 5PM-7 Free

The Precipice Fund is a program of small grants to small art spaces, publications and arts collectives funded by the Andy Warhol Foundation and the Furlotti Family Foundation. The grants have been running from about one thousand to five thousand dollars. Awardees can only reapply in 2 year cycles. The total amount in 2018 was about $75,000 - an efficient bargain for the impact!
The 2019 selectees will be announced tonight with a short description of their projects. These events are a great networking event for Portland contemporary artists. And there is a party after, though its intensity has been diminishing over the years. The scheduling is also problematic, competing with First Thursday gallery openings.

If you haven't connected to what is going on at the Haxton Hotel event-wise, you might.
Henryk Ross, photographing between 1940 and 1944, documented the Lodz Ghetto of Jews and Roma in Poland. He was employed by the ruling Reich for industrial photography, but made many other photographs, some saved and some destroyed. He understood the moral crux and buried many negatives in 1944, and certainly revisited that question onward over a life of 1910-1991. Many of his photographs he recovered, which were printable, are at the Portland Art Museum and the Oregon Jewish Museum.
