We mourn the loss of Portland Art Center’s Light & Sound Gallery, one of few (the only?) spaces dedicated to video/sound installation in Portland. So we’re looking forward to tonight’s opening of Self Projections at Milepost 5 with what promises to be a good dose of video, film, sound and installation work. Granted it’s our nominee for most fleeting exhibition of 2008, up only from April 18-27 with viewing hours from 1-6 PM daily AND it’s not the most muscular armature on which to hang a group show: “24 artists presenting their interpretation of Self Projection,” (”Soggy and hard to light,” as my dear daddy used to say.) That said, there are some interesting artists on board that will make a little trip out to 800 NE 81st worth your while.
We’ll be looking out for work by Maggie Casey, whose fiber pieces are sublime, for ultra’s favorite Portland arts group, The M.O.S.T., doing a performance tonight for the opening party (8-12), for work by Mammalian Diving Reflex (the folks who recruited children to cut your hair during last year’s TBA Festival) and brilliant installation artist Alicia Eggert, and filmmaker Marc Moscato, whose film, “the more things stay the same” will screen during the closing party April 26, 8-11 PM.
WHAT TO DO NOW?
