Is it that time already? Yes, and we couldn’t be more on-edge-of-seat as The Portland Institute for Contemporary Art (PICA) rolls out its lineupof artists for the 2007 Time-Based Art Festival with a public (and free) reception at PICA (224 NW 13th) next Wednesday, April 25, at 5:30 PM hosted by Artistic Director Mark Russell and PICA’s Erin Boberg and Kristan Kennedy.
TBA:07 happens September 6-16. And if previous years are any indication, you’ll have a week+ to gorge yourself on compelling, surprising performance from international, national, and regional artists. Edouard Locke, Nature Theater of Oklahoma, Yubiwa Hotel, Tahni Holt’s Monster Squad, Lone Twin(!)…there’s always been more than you can possibly take in and performance that you’re still talking about years later.
At the reception, TBA:07 Festival passes will be on sale a special early bird price. Members too, get pass discounts and get this, if you sign up as a member (or increase your donation), your membership is matched on a one-to-one basis by a donation from the Collins Foundation…it’s like giving twice without having to dig twice into your pocket. Easy.
If you can’t wait ’til next Wednesday to gather and discuss, we’ll see you at PICA’s TADA Underground gala where the lineup will be announced this Saturday eve.
