Now We’re in Trouble
Cao Fei Cosplayers (video still) 2005
Independent curator and critic, Jeff Jahn, busts out his latest, greatest warehouse show, (all 10,000 feet of it) opening this Saturday on SE Belmont. Designed to dovetail with the Affair @ The Jupiter Hotel and the opening of the new wing of the Portland Art Museum, Fresh Trouble presents work by a number of local artists that Jahn argues are better known outside Portland than here at home, plus artists from China, Iceland, Boston, New York, and Seattle.
Highlights will include the West Coast debut of Chinese artist Cao Fei’s celebrated video “cosplayers.” Look for work by local faves Chandra Bocci, Matt McCormick, Paige Saez, Katherine Bovee and Philippe Blanc, TJ Norris, Mark Smith, and Matthew Picton and many (many many) more.
If you saw Inertia 2005, the show Jahn recently curated for Gallery 500 (open for a few more days), you know that as a curator, he delivers. Fresh Trouble opens September 24 with a reception from 5-9 PM and continues through October 10 (S/S 12-5 PM) with special hours on September 30 from 6-9 PM.
