ThirtyThousandSeconds: Justin Gorman at Milepost 5

thirtythousand seconds, justin gorman

Given a Milepost5 residency—a couple of months and some space—what does Justin Gorman do? I have yet to see his new exhibition, ThirtyThousandSeconds, but it looks like Gorman took a look at his surroundings and engaged in a project that does what he does so well, thoughtfully record and/or reflect back on the historical narrative of this city. His previous photography work, primarily text-based dialogue with the histories of select Portland buildings, has been a consideration of the long view both of our past and the future we’re building. By contrast, this project, focusing pedestrian patterns on a busy section of 82nd, digs into the very human Right Now of the paths between here and there.

See ThirtyThousandSeconds at Milepost5 (900 NE 81st Ave), June 20 to August 14 with a reception on the 20th from 7-9 PM.
