Stash and Sense at Just Be's Compound Gallery

2006-03-02 22:45:30.682503+00:00

A graffiti centric show with modified sneakers, packaged goods, spraycan art on canvas, murals, ink, etc, this opening was packed to the gills. I haven't been to a Just Be gallery opening since Pat Fong had work in the old NW 2nd Ave location. I really can't believe how huge this thing has become, serious props to the old local old town neighbors!!

Weapons of Mass Compassion

2006-03-02 22:53:31.893847+00:00

A friend of me "leopard haired friend" has a gallery with a small politically charged store up front. There are books about Iraq's underground fight for freedom against red white & blue imperialism, gilded skulls and pistols, as well as random artist made tshirts. Curious if the shop part is open regularly, or if it's more of an 'exhibit store'?

Bit Torrent, Bring Us Together :: 9/28 event

2006-09-27 16:11:40.709461+00:00

Bit Torrent, Bring Us Together! @ Travelers and Record Sound System (403 SW 10th Ave @ Stark St.) Thursday, Sep. 28th 2006 - 5pm Portland, Or. Bit Torrent, created by Bram Cohen, and released to the public in 2002, enables multiple persons to share information with one another "directly", and simultaneously. The directness of the sharing of this information is nearly invisible. With peer to peer file sharing one may never know who they received the information they were seeking from, all they know is that there are like minds out in the world, and they are gathering together towards a cumulative knowledge base. The similarities present between Bit Torrent file sharing and the democratic voice are overtly apparent - like minds are available, they are talking. It is up to the individual to harness the power of those like minds and accentuate those voices in unison for the strength of the community as a whole. For Bit Torrent, Bring Us Together! Colin Beattie and Sam Gould have create a process oriented dance piece that requires the publics active involvement to play itself out to conclusion - to positive, or negative, results depending on that very involvement. Bit Torrent plays out with individuals serving the roles of Peers, Files, and Trackers, illustrating in real time the correlation between the framework of democratic voice/action, and the Bit Torrent process. Join us, take part in the role you were born to play!

Walking/Listening/Recording (sound installation)

2006-09-13 13:09:51.949159+00:00

Walking/Listening/Recording: Tryon Creek (2006) is a 10-channel sound installation set along the Trillium Trail in Tryon Creek State Park, Portland, Oregon. Along the initial 250ft passage of the Trillium Trail, speakers from hidden locations cast layers of found sounds interwoven with poetic murmurs and field recordings from around the Red Fox Bridge area in the park. William Stafford's poem "Walking with Your Eyes Shut" inspired the use of poetry in the piece - to form a dialogue between the visual and audible experience. These layers of sound are intended to engage visitors in a sonic narrative along the trail. Friends of Tryon Creek State Park presents: Natural Cycles: A Celebration of Art in the Forest :: Carrie Bodle's Walking/Listening/Recording: Tryon Creek State Park. September 17, 2006 – August 2007 Opening Reception Sunday, September 17th, 2006 5:00 - 7:00pm Location: Tryon Creek State Park, Portland, Oregon Artists: Julian Voss-Andreae Christine Harrington Leta Evaskus Carrie Bodle Martha Morgan Charissa Brock Contact: Stephanie Wagner Executive Director 503-636-4398 www.tryonfriends.org

Foghat Ranchero gets a Champagne Shower + brunch

2006-10-17 09:49:44.575378+00:00

Nat and Scott have been doing this Tailgating project for a while now, where they park their ranchero outside of art events and shindigs and just random places, and give away free beer and hotdogs, grilling off the tailgate. They provide a few chairs and literally call out to passersby, inviting them to join in the party. Now they have an officially sanctioned art event of their own, in association with PICA, they threw a celebratory brunch and champagne shower for their car, sporting the new vanity plates "FOGHAT"

Artistic Actions in the Interconnected Urban Territory

2006-11-21 12:06:55.652734+00:00

The representation of the territory holds a historical role in the privileges of power. The geographical data has always been in its hands. The regaining of this representation goes through the description and sharing (often in personal perspectives too). This is made possible thanks to the collaborative tools and consequent changing of the value of the maps. These maps are not granted anymore by structures of power, but built by individuals who, drawing on the ideas of the psychogeographical movements, repaint the urban space according to fresh new coordinates.

WORKS BY: 01.org Vopos :: Cartografia Resistente Triangolazione :: Les Flottants Lasciare libero il passo :: Giuseppe Chiari Musica verità, Suonare la città, Che cosè un happening :: Vincenzo Agnetti Spazio perduto e spazio costruito :: Guy Debord In girum imus nocte et consumimur igni :: Ernesto Fialdini, Matteo Dentoni Debordare.

Ceramic monster masks at Backspace

2006-03-02 22:39:07.023049+00:00

Some creepy, sinister, organic, salt fired ceramic masks that make me think of monsters and warriors, of gnarly road warrior type post and pre apocolyptic times when survival is not taken for granted.
