Mr. Schemmerer

We first knew Richard Schemmerer a few years back as one of the only independent knitwear designers in Portland. Since then, this prolific artist and fashion designer has taken on more projects than you’ve even dreamed about while fitting in a year of travel in Europe. Among other upcoming group shows, his installation, “Sleeping With My Stories,” for which he created the clever little maquette above, opens this Saturday, July 28 at new NE arts space Rererato (5135 NE 42nd) as part of the group show ZZZ…(between the sheets). There’s a reception from 4-9 PM with music by Emily Katz, among others.
Meanwhile, here’s a shot of the one-of-a-kind necklace he designed that we saw around his neck at the Denwave menswear show.
