Annotation: Configure is a show of new work by Portland-based artist and OCAC grad, Derek Faust. At Alpern Gallery (2552 NW Vaughn) for the month of February, there will be an opening reception for Annotation: Configure this Friday, February 12 from 6-9 PM. Information systems made visually manifest, especially in abstract and minimal forms, is definitely an intriguing hopping off point.
Statement:
Annotation: Configure is a formal examination into the aesthetics, materials, and means of information storage and reproduction. By combining image with the language of objects, Faust’s new body of work explores analog and digital information through abstraction and minimization. Be it a dot and dash of Morse code or the shape of a USB port, there is a language that has a direct lineage to how we view, value and communicate with each other. Specifically, Faust’s work grapples with information systems through an investigation of their physical and visual language.
Gallery hours Friday 12-5 & Saturdays 11-5 (and by appointment)

Nothing says summer like a good group show (except maybe margaritas and Dr. Scholl’s sandals). And I have to love a gallerist (Jeanine Jablonski) who quotes Camus—“In the midst of winter, I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.”—while deploying Cheech and Chong in the show poster.
Tonight Fourteen30 Contemporary (1430 SE 3rd) opens SUMMER SHOW with a reception from 6 to 9 PM with a Left Coast-heavy lineup of artists whose work I’m really looking foward to seeing including Mike Bray (Eugene, OR); David Corbett (Portland, OR); Hamlett Dobbins (Memphis, TN); Alex Felton (Portland, OR); Corey Lunn (Portland, OR); Jenene Nagy (Portland, OR); Devon Oder (Los Angeles, CA); Nicholas Pittman (Portland, OR); Patrick Rock (Portland, OR); Jennifer Shimatsu (Los Angeles, CA); and Nick Van Woert (Brooklyn, NY).
