Jeff Jahn is Nothing But Trouble
Who’s Jeff Jahn? Need you ask about the shock-haired, speaking-his-mind arts instigator and critic? He’s been writing his Critical-I column for NW Drizzle for ages, but this year saw the beginning of PORT, an arts blog with muscle he created with Katherine Bovee and Jennifer Armbrust. He’s curated ambitious local shows like Best Coast and Play featuring artists like Hilary Pfeifer and Chandra Bocci. Jahn is co-VP of the Contemporary Arts Council at the Portland Art Museum, which is raising funds and making waves as the opening of PAM’s new Center for Modern and Contemporary Art approaches.
Jahn’s at it again with his, Fresh Trouble warehouse show. He let us know that Trouble will open either September 24 or 23 with recent Venice Bienale-ers and the west coast debut of, “the hottest video by the hottest video artists on the planet (she’s from china and the video involves costumes can you guess who it is?).” Coy is not a word one would normally associate with Jahn.
Throw some trouble into the PAM, Affair, TBA mix. We can’t wait.
