Don’t Miss This Chance To Get Fresh
Daniel Sturgis
While we’re waiting for the Biennial at PAM, with its inordinate number of artists we’re actually excited about, we’ll get our fill at Fresh the group show opening opens this Thursday, April 6, at the Elizabeth Leach Gallery (417 NW 9th) from 6-9 PM. If you don’t know these artists yet, you should. Rob Wilcox gives us the low-down.
Elizabeth Leach Gallery presents Fresh, work by Chandra Bocci (Portland Art Museum 2006 biennial selectee), Sean Healy, Kristan Kennedy (PICA art program curator), Melody Owen (current Alfred University MFA candidate), Daniel Sturgis, Amanda Wojick, U of O sculpture professor (2004,2006 Portland Art Museum biennial selectee) and others.
Bocci incorporates materials from our- my- your- waste stream into artworks. Owen, U of O grad, now at Alfred U, creates the sweetest minimalist work, such as her room filled with hummingbird feeders and her illuminated igloos. Wojeck samples materials such as those pick- a- color- paint chips into sculptures. The gallery also shows new work by Matt McCormick, “Signs,” in its streetside video window.
