First Friday: March 4

I Have Nothing to Say to You
Michael Reinsch
False Front
4518 NE 32

Where as a merchantʼs public display of commodity is made prominent and to the point, alternatively Reinschʼs installation offers a cleverly nondescript, attentive response to the viewerʼs aesthetic sense…His signage, as well as their communication, exists simply for the sake of existing. A monochromatic rendering of a hyper-garish, anxiety laced marketing environment.

Upsur Nova
Nim Wunnan
Golden Rule

Upsur Nova is a series of Nim Wunnan’s semi-abstracted, monochrome, self-interruptive drawings influenced by Obscured, his ongoing series of deliberately-difficult-to-view ink and graphite drawings.

The Endless Intermission
Ilyas Ahmed
Nationale
811 E Burnside, Ste. 112

Conceived in the half-light of memory and in flickered dreams, these new collages are a revision of the extremes. They are part protest, part joy, part lament, part comedy, part pathos.
