<p>:: PRESS RELEASE ::</p>
<p>SQFT is a window-based, traveling exhibition of 2D works by 50 of the most innovative, emerging and established artists in the Northwest. It is intended as a showcase of where we are right now, and many works respond directly to the in-situ nature of being either on public display or behind glass. All works will be presented unframed, hung with simple bank pins in a grid pattern. The work will travel to several cities, big and small for two years and will be housed in a custom-made crate which will also be placed at each presentation site.  Other locations TBA (Seattle, Vancouver/Victoria BC, Boise, Butte, Spokane, Eugene&#8230;). Curator TJ Norris is currently working under an agreement with Gallery Homeland to be the non-profit umbrella organization helping get the show on the road. Norris will also work with regional curators as curatorial site scouts in their regions to locate best sites for the show.</p>
<p>This is an invitational, open to whatever the artists I welcomed decide to do within their own &#8217;square foot&#8217;. Of course, as would be expected, the results have been quite far-reaching. Some stunning works of art, some conceptually sly, some responding to the beckoning call of making reference to the reflectory/in-situ nature of its presentation (Ann Ploeger, Smith Elliott), others completely going into their own lofty post-Dadaist perspectives (Marc Dombrosky). Some pieces are quite intricate (Laura Vandenburgh), some are a melange, mixing the past and perhaps a touch of what&#8217;s to come (Jesse Hayward). It&#8217;s been a fun show to do, and overlapped nicely within my un/conscious of the whole grid thing. I love to think, curatorially, in sets, patterns, almost like a good game of chess. Making pairs, changing out where something lands, rearranging and keeping with the whole concept that all patterns are interchangeable, how to distort the flat plane with very diverse work in all media.</p>
<p>Other Sites: TBA</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At <a href="http://www.blackfish.com/">Blackfish Gallery</a> (420 NW 9th Ave, Portland, OR), is a show of the recent art graduates of 2009.  This show has works from 29 graduates, who represent the best of their classes from 15 Oregon colleges and universities.  Below are three of my favorites.</p>
<p>First I start out with the mandala-like photo of Christian Rogers, &#8220;His &amp; Hers (Predominantly His)&#8221;.</p>
<div id="attachment_1310" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 460px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1310" title="Christian-Rogers-His-Hers-Predominantly-His-Blackfish-1" src="http://www.bradcarlile.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Christian-Rogers-His-Hers-Predominantly-His-Blackfish-1.jpg" alt="Christian Rogers, His Hers (Predominantly His) Blackfish Gallery" width="450" height="423" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Christian Rogers, His Hers (Predominantly His) Blackfish Gallery</p></div>
<p>Below is the detail from &#8220;His &amp; Hers (Predominantly His)&#8221;  Here you get a better view of the lozenges that radiate out from the center.  Images so thin they meld in layers.</p>
<div id="attachment_1309" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 460px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1309" title="Christian-Rogers-His-Hers-Predominantly-His-Blackfish-2" src="http://www.bradcarlile.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Christian-Rogers-His-Hers-Predominantly-His-Blackfish-2.jpg" alt="Christian Rogers, Detail His Hers (Predominantly His) Blackfish Gallery" width="450" height="338" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Christian Rogers, Detail His Hers (Predominantly His) Blackfish Gallery</p></div>
<p>Next is Patricia Patino, whose work &#8220;March 24&#8243;</p>
<div id="attachment_1308" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 460px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1308" title="Patricia-Patino-March-24-Blackfish-Gallery-1" src="http://www.bradcarlile.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Patricia-Patino-March-24-Blackfish-Gallery-1.jpg" alt="Patricia Patino, March 24, Blackfish Gallery" width="450" height="381" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Patricia Patino, March 24, Blackfish Gallery</p></div>
<p>Finally I loved this one by Leah Morris.  Such a wondeful gift of poison for cut little bunnies.</p>
<div id="attachment_1307" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 460px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1307" title="Leah-Morris-Gift-Blackfish-1" src="http://www.bradcarlile.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Leah-Morris-Gift-Blackfish-1.jpg" alt="Leah Morris, Gift, Blackfish Gallery" width="450" height="338" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Leah Morris, Gift, Blackfish Gallery</p></div>
<p>I also liked <em><a href="http://www.blackfish.com/Artwork-Detail.cfm?ArtistsID=41&amp;NewID=796"><em>Sanna-Lisa Gesang-Gottowt &#8220;Everything Changes&#8221;</em></a> and </em><em><a href="http://www.blackfish.com/Artwork-Detail.cfm?ArtistsID=41&amp;NewID=804"><em>Caitlin Ducey &#8220;Shapes.&#8221;<br />
</em></a></em></p>
<p>In the window project at <a href="http://www.pdxcontemporaryart.com/" target="_blank">PDX Contemporary Art</a> (925 NW Flanders, Portland OR) is Brennan Conaway&#8217;s &#8220;In Joyful Anticipation of Catastrophic Ruin&#8230;&#8221; I didn&#8217;t capture the full title, maybe ends with &#8220;first colony&#8221;(?).  This sculpture is a celebration of a future cultural demise, to facilitate a consumerist-free rebirth.</p>
<div id="attachment_1306" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 460px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1306" title="Brennan-Conaway-In-Joyful-Anticipation-of Catastrphic-Ruin-PDX-Window-Project-2" src="http://www.bradcarlile.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Brennan-Conaway-In-Joyful-Anticipation-of-Catastrphic-Ruin-PDX-Window-Project-2.jpg" alt="Brennan Conaway, In Joyful Anticipation of Catastrphic Ruin,  PDX Window Project " width="450" height="271" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Brennan Conaway, In Joyful Anticipation of Catastrphic Ruin,  PDX Window Project </p></div>
<p>In the gallery at <a href="http://www.pdxcontemporaryart.com/" target="_blank">PDX Contemporary Art</a> (925 NW Flanders, Portland OR) is Wes Mills&#8217; Mondrian&#8217;s Forest.  I&#8217;m often drawn to work in grids.  The repetition of work with variations continues to build upon itself.  Each individual framed piece is subtle work on paper that is drawn, stained and wrinkled.</p>
<p>Wes Mills is part of the NYC group show <em>Master Drawings New York: Sol LeWitt, Agnes Martin, Wes Mills</em> atDickinson (19 East 66th Street, NYC).  He has work in the collections Whitney Museum and MoMA (NYC)</p>
<div id="attachment_1305" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 460px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1305" title="Wes-Mills-Mondrians-forest-PDX-Contemporary-1" src="http://www.bradcarlile.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Wes-Mills-Mondrians-forest-PDX-Contemporary-1.jpg" alt="Wes Mills, Mondrians Forest, PDX Contemporary" width="450" height="338" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Wes Mills, Mondrians Forest, PDX Contemporary</p></div>
<p>Detail of Wes Mills&#8217; Mondrian&#8217;s Forest.  Here you can see the descending lines and the effects they have on the paper and the effect of the paper on them.  Also at this show is the work &#8220;Pie Set&#8221; which has sketches of pies/disks with wedges removed from them are superimposed and interlaced.  Again the paper and the drawing effect one another.</p>
<div id="attachment_1303" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 257px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1303" title="Wes-Mills-Mondrians-forest-PDX-Contemporary-2" src="http://www.bradcarlile.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Wes-Mills-Mondrians-forest-PDX-Contemporary-2.jpg" alt="Wes Mills, (Detail) Mondrians Forest, PDX Contemporary" width="247" height="450" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Wes Mills, (Detail) Mondrians Forest, PDX Contemporary</p></div>
<p><a href="http://www.blueskygallery.org/" target="_blank">Blue Sky Gallery</a> (122 NW 8th Ave, Portland OR), has a strong combination this month.  Ferit Kuyas has wonderful beautiful prints &#8211; STUNNING WORK.  Colors and images are luxurious and often soft.  But the fog and the massive buildings hit you with what we have wrought by rebuilding our land and smogging our air.<em> </em></p>
<blockquote><p><em>Postscript: According to the artist this is actually fog not smog.  I was mislead by the smog that I saw in Beijing in my trip to China in 2005 (<a title="Brad Carlile China Snapshot" href="http://www.bradcarlile.com/travel/china.html" target="_blank">few snaps from that trip</a>).  Read more at the Oregonian about an interview with Ferit Kuyas: <a title="Oregonian interview Ferit Kuyas" href="http://www.oregonlive.com/art/index.ssf/2009/07/photos_capture_a_foggy_chinese.html" target="_blank">http://www.oregonlive.com/art/index.ssf/2009/07/photos_capture_a_foggy_chinese.html<br />

<p>Artist and frequent <a title="Amy Stein Blog" href="http://amysteinphoto.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Blogger</a> Amy Stein is in the back gallery of Blue Sky Gallery.</p>
<p>Her works are modern dioramas set out in our landscape.  These constructed  scenes she writes, &#8220;explore our paradoxical relationship with the &#8220;wild&#8221; and how our conflicting impulses continue to evolve and alter the behavior of both humans and animals.&#8221;  She continues, they &#8220;&#8230;are constructed based on real stories from local newspapers and oral histories of intentional and random interactions between humans and animals.&#8221;</p>
<p>Garden was a hilarious look at an American garden that is a comment on  protectionism and created nature.</p>
<div id="attachment_1301" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 460px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1301" title="Amy-Stein-Garden-Blue-Sky-1" src="http://www.bradcarlile.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Amy-Stein-Garden-Blue-Sky-1.jpg" alt="Amy Stein, Garden, Blue Sky Gallery" width="450" height="340" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Amy Stein, Garden, Blue Sky Gallery</p></div>
<p>Watering Hole is an image of Amy&#8217;s that you may have seen around the web.  It is also on the cover of her book &#8220;Domesticated&#8221; that was the winner of <a title="Amy Stein Book photolucida critical mass book award" href="http://www.wmjasco.com/photolucida/photolucida.html" target="_blank">Photolucida&#8217;s Critical Mass book award</a>.</p>
<div id="attachment_1299" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 460px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1299" title="Amy-Stein-Watering-Hole-Blue-Sky-1" src="http://www.bradcarlile.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Amy-Stein-Watering-Hole-Blue-Sky-1.jpg" alt="Amy Stein, Watering Hole, Blue Sky Gallery" width="450" height="338" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Amy Stein, Watering Hole, Blue Sky Gallery</p></div>
<p>Michael Kenna has another strong show at <a href="http://hartmanfineart.net/" target="_blank">Hartman Fine Art</a> (154 NW 8th, Portland OR).  His black&amp;white work is powerful as always.  You can see why they grace many museum collections.  But see them here in Portland in a great space.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Eva Lake has a very nice interview of Michael Kenna on KBOO, hear it at: <a title="Eva Lake interviews Michael Kenna" href="http://kboo.fm/audio/by/title/michael_kenna" target="_blank">http://kboo.fm/audio/by/title/michael_kenna</a></em></p></blockquote>

<p>Allen Cox work is showing at <a href="http://www.augengallery.com/" target="_blank">Augen Gallery</a> (716 NW Davis, Portland OR).  Allen is a well-known Pacific Northwest abstract painter.  Below is the painting &#8220;Landslide&#8221;.  I was also drawn to &#8220;<span>Uncertainty Principle&#8221; which I believe is what they used on the show postcard. </span></p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t get any snapshots of Akahashi  Murakami&#8217;s lithographs, but they are well worth a visit to the gallery in their own right.</p>
<div id="attachment_1300" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 460px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1300" title="Allen-Cox-Landslide-Augen-Gallery-1" src="http://www.bradcarlile.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Allen-Cox-Landslide-Augen-Gallery-1.jpg" alt="Allen Cox, Landslide, Augen Gallery" width="450" height="310" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Allen Cox, Landslide, Augen Gallery</p></div>
<p><a href="http://www.buttersgallery.com/" target="_blank">Butters Gallery</a> (520 NW Davis, 2nd flr, Portland OR) has a show called NEW DISCOVERIES, and two of them are discoveries for me.</p>
<p>Nicolas Guerrero magical color&#8230; trippy mandalas.  I liked them a lot.  Bold saturated colors and interesting shapes. These gain extra luminosity since they are face-mounted plexi which gives both a softer and stronger impression.</p>
<div id="attachment_1297" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 446px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1297" title="Nicolas-Guerrero-Cromatico-Butters-Gallery-1" src="http://www.bradcarlile.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Nicolas-Guerrero-Cromatico-Butters-Gallery-1.jpg" alt="Nicolas Guerrero, Cromatico, Butters Gallery" width="436" height="450" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Nicolas Guerrero, Cromatico, Butters Gallery</p></div>
<p>Here are two more&#8230; Bold primary colors that can fill one&#8217;s imagination.</p>
<div id="attachment_1296" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 460px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1296" title="Nicolas-Guerrero-Cromatico-Butters-Gallery-2" src="http://www.bradcarlile.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Nicolas-Guerrero-Cromatico-Butters-Gallery-2.jpg" alt="Nicolas Guerrero, Cromatico, Butters Gallery" width="450" height="210" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Nicolas Guerrero, Cromatico, Butters Gallery</p></div>
<p>Also at Butters is Jiro Yonezawa&#8217;s sculptures. He combines &#8220;traditional Japanese weaving combined with ideas of modern Western sculpture.&#8221;</p>
<p>I particularly liked the thin space filling works like the image below.</p>
<div id="attachment_1294" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 322px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1294" title="Jiro-Yonezawa-Bond-09-7-Butters-Gallery-1" src="http://www.bradcarlile.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Jiro-Yonezawa-Bond-09-7-Butters-Gallery-1.jpg" alt="Jiro Yonezawa, Bond 09 7, Butters Gallery" width="312" height="450" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Jiro Yonezawa, Bond 09 7, Butters Gallery</p></div>
<p>Matthew Craig paintings were also captivating.  He is recent graduate from the University of Oregon.  In this work we have layers of bold geometries with dare I say pin-stripping squiggles.  It works with great effect.</p>
<p>He writes, &#8220;The lines shift, the colors recede or advance, the space is at once flat and deep. Both space and color are contingent upon the formal choices Craig makes; color is affected by its surroundings, and the color and structure of the lines creates the space. The structures in the paintings never seem quite stable because of this shifting of space, this vibration of color. The work is very much about the present moment, the viewers direct engagement with the work, and their immediate perceptual responses.&#8221;</p>
<div id="attachment_1295" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 460px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1295" title="Matthew-Craig-Untitled-Butters-Gallery-2" src="http://www.bradcarlile.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Matthew-Craig-Untitled-Butters-Gallery-2.jpg" alt="Matthew Craig, Untitled, Butters Gallery" width="450" height="374" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Matthew Craig, Untitled, Butters Gallery</p></div>
<p>Below is one more&#8230;</p>
<div id="attachment_1293" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 460px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1293" title="Matthew-Craig-Untitled-Butters-Gallery-3" src="http://www.bradcarlile.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Matthew-Craig-Untitled-Butters-Gallery-3.jpg" alt="Matthew Craig, Untitled, Butters Gallery" width="450" height="435" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Matthew Craig, Untitled, Butters Gallery</p></div>
<p>It was a good set of 1st Thursday shows.  Stop by any of these Portland Galleries and more to really spend some time with these works in person (and without the opening festivities).</p>

<blockquote><p>Charlie Wilmoth In <a title="Dusted Reviews" href="http://www.dustedmagazine.com/reviews/4271" target="_blank">Dusted Reviews</a> writes, &#8220;Extra Life&#8217;s ridiculously complex instrumental parts &#8230;  are sometimes quiet, sometimes brutal, but when they&#8217;re at one extreme, there&#8217;s always the sense that the other is a possibility.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>Wilmoth goes on to say, &#8220;The thing with Extra Life is that their music is about 18 times more accomplished and complex than most math rock bands could ever hope to be. And yet their music isn&#8217;t the least bit ironic, and its complexity nearly always sounds like it&#8217;s in the service of some broader idea.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Interesting work at 1st Thursday in Portland this month.  Not a lot of time to write them this month so I&#8217;ve just put a few snippets.  Here is but a sample of the work around Portland Oregon this month:</p>
<p>Started out at the great group show curated by Harrell Fletcher  called &#8220;Current<br />
Songs from the Treetops&#8221; at <a href="http://www.pdxcontemporaryart.com/" target="_blank">PDX Contemporary Art</a> (925 NW Flanders, Portland OR).  Loved this show!  The show &#8220;address the idea of constructed landscapes in various forms.&#8221;</p>
<div id="attachment_1066" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 426px"><img src="http://www.bradcarlile.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/wendy-red-star-four-seasons-pdx-contemporary-2.jpg" alt="Wendy Red Star Four Seasons at PDX Contemporary" title="wendy-red-star-four-seasons-pdx-contemporary-2" width="416" height="450" class="size-full wp-image-1066" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Wendy Red Star Four Seasons at PDX Contemporary</p></div>
<div id="attachment_1067" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><img src="http://www.bradcarlile.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/kenneth-andrew-mroczck-dumpster-muffin-pdx-contemporary.jpg" alt="Kenneth Andrew Mroczck Dumpster Muffin and others at PDX" title="kenneth-andrew-mroczck-dumpster-muffin-pdx-contemporary" width="300" height="450" class="size-full wp-image-1067" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Kenneth Andrew Mroczck Dumpster Muffin and others at PDX</p></div>
<div id="attachment_1068" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 460px"><img src="http://www.bradcarlile.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/chris-johansen-jo_jackson-large-medium-small-study-pdx-contemporary.jpg" alt="Chris Johansen and Jo Jackson Large Medium and Small Study at PDX Contemporary" title="chris-johansen-jo_jackson-large-medium-small-study-pdx-contemporary" width="450" height="300" class="size-full wp-image-1068" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Chris Johansen and Jo Jackson Large Medium and Small Study at PDX Contemporary</p></div>
<p><a href="http://www.chambersgallery.com" target="_blank">Chambers Gallery @ 916</a> (916 Flanders, Portland OR) continues to have strong photography shows.  Another great one this month.  I like the geometry and constructed tessellations in Aaron Yassin images. </p>
<div id="attachment_1069" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 460px"><img src="http://www.bradcarlile.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/aaron-yassin-impeibochk-chambers-916-1.jpg" alt="Aaron Yassin Impeibochk at Chambers 916" title="aaron-yassin-impeibochk-chambers-916-1" width="450" height="197" class="size-full wp-image-1069" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Aaron Yassin Impeibochk at Chambers 916</p></div>

<p>You must also go in the back to see the video installation, spend some time as it morphs and step into the middle&#8230;<br />
<div id="attachment_1071" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 460px"><img src="http://www.bradcarlile.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/aaron-yassin-impeibochk-chambers-916-3.jpg" alt="Aaron Yassin Impeibochk at Chambers 916" title="aaron-yassin-impeibochk-chambers-916-3" width="450" height="300" class="size-full wp-image-1071" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Aaron Yassin Impeibochk at Chambers 916</p></div></p>
<p>I always like Jerry Iverson&#8217;s work.  You can see some new work at <a href="http://www.pulliamdeffenbaugh.com/" target="_blank">Pulliam Deffenbaugh</a> (929 NW Flanders, Portland, OR 97209).  His creative arc seems to be adding more forms lately.<br />
<div id="attachment_1072" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 441px"><img src="http://www.bradcarlile.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/jerry-iverson-new-work-pulliam-deffenbaugh.jpg" alt="Jerry Iverson New Work at Pulliam Deffenbaugh" title="jerry-iverson-new-work-pulliam-deffenbaugh" width="431" height="450" class="size-full wp-image-1072" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Jerry Iverson New Work at Pulliam Deffenbaugh</p></div></p>
<p>Always been a fan of Debra van Tuinen&#8217;s work.  Seems to be a broadening of images in her current work at <a href="http://www.buttersgallery.com/" target="_blank">Butters<br />
Gallery</a> (520 NW Davis, 2nd flr, Portland OR).<br />
<div id="attachment_1073" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 359px"><img src="http://www.bradcarlile.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/debra-van-tuinen-butters.jpg" alt="Debra van Tuinen at Butters" title="debra-van-tuinen-butters" width="349" height="450" class="size-full wp-image-1073" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Debra van Tuinen at Butters</p></div></p>
<div id="attachment_1074" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 459px"><img src="http://www.bradcarlile.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/debra-van-tuinen-morning-thoughts-butters.jpg" alt="Debra van Tuinen Morning thoughts Butters" title="debra-van-tuinen-morning-thoughts-butters" width="449" height="450" class="size-full wp-image-1074" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Debra van Tuinen Morning thoughts Butters</p></div>
<p>Also in the meditative front are two I like at <a href="http://www.blackfish.com/">Blackfish Gallery</a> (420 NW 9th Ave, Portland, OR).  Sandy Roumagoux&#8217;s work&#8230;<br />
<div id="attachment_1075" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 460px"><img src="http://www.bradcarlile.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/sandy-roumagoux-stonefield-beach-quartet-blackfish.jpg" alt="Sandy Roumagoux Stonefield Beach Quartet Blackfish" title="sandy-roumagoux-stonefield-beach-quartet-blackfish" width="450" height="391" class="size-full wp-image-1075" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Sandy Roumagoux Stonefield Beach Quartet Blackfish</p></div></p>
<p>&#8230;and Michael Knutson&#8217;s work.<br />
<div id="attachment_1076" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 460px"><img src="http://www.bradcarlile.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/michael-knutson-cascade-head-blackfish.jpg" alt="Michael Knutson Cascade Head Blackfish" title="michael-knutson-cascade-head-blackfish" width="450" height="381" class="size-full wp-image-1076" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Michael Knutson Cascade Head Blackfish</p></div></p>
<p>The meditative continues at ON Gallery.  The image below is the strongest of Nicholas Von Grainger show.<br />
<div id="attachment_1077" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 372px"><img src="http://www.bradcarlile.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/nicholas-von-grainger-on-gallery.jpg" alt="Nicholas Von Grainger at ON Gallery" title="nicholas-von-grainger-on-gallery" width="362" height="450" class="size-full wp-image-1077" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Nicholas Von Grainger at ON Gallery</p></div></p>
<p>Also in the Everett street lofts is this Jamie Potter(sp?) work at Sugar gallery. This one is strong:<br />
<div id="attachment_1078" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 460px"><img src="http://www.bradcarlile.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/jamie-potter-frontier-justice-in-the-weirdest-way-sugar-gallery-jamie-potter-frontier-justice-in-the-weirdest-way-sugar-gallery.jpg" alt="Jamie Potter Frontier Justice in the weirdest way Sugar Gallery" title="jamie-potter-frontier-justice-in-the-weirdest-way-sugar-gallery-jamie-potter-frontier-justice-in-the-weirdest-way-sugar-gallery" width="450" height="300" class="size-full wp-image-1078" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Jamie Potter Frontier Justice in the weirdest way Sugar Gallery</p></div></p>
<p>On the more sculptural front is Anne Goodrich work at <a href="http://www.ogleinc.com/" target="_blank">Ogle Gallery</a> (310 NW Broadway, Portland OR).  Organic and shadowy and/or constructed.</p>
<div id="attachment_1079" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 460px"><img src="http://www.bradcarlile.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/anne-goodrich-incarnate-oogle-2.jpg" alt="Anne Goodrich Incarnate Oogle" title="anne-goodrich-incarnate-oogle-2" width="450" height="359" class="size-full wp-image-1079" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Anne Goodrich Incarnate Oogle</p></div>
<div id="attachment_1080" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><img src="http://www.bradcarlile.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/anne-goodrich-incarnate-oogle-1.jpg" alt="Anne Goodrich Incarnate Oogle" title="anne-goodrich-incarnate-oogle-1" width="300" height="450" class="size-full wp-image-1080" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Anne Goodrich Incarnate Oogle</p></div>

<p>The repeating patters in Pok Chi Lau&#8217;s photography at <a href="http://www.blueskygallery.org/" target="_blank">Blue Sky<br />
Gallery</a> (122 NW 8th Ave, Portland OR) drew me to this one.<br />
<div id="attachment_1082" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 460px"><img src="http://www.bradcarlile.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/pok-chi-lau-bluesky.jpg" alt="Pok Chi Lau at Bluesky" title="pok-chi-lau-bluesky" width="450" height="303" class="size-full wp-image-1082" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Pok Chi Lau at Bluesky</p></div></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The 4th Annual PINK ELEPHANT was last night.  <strong>Many Many thanks</strong> to <a title="TJ Norris" href="http://tjnorris.net" target="_blank">TJ Norris</a> for making this all happen.  It was a very fun event and good to spend some time catching up with some friends and meet some new ones.  For the read from the man himself, read <a title="TJ Norris Blog on Pink Elephant" href="http://tjnorris.net/blog/2009/02/into-the-pink/ " target="_blank">TJ&#8217;s blog posting</a>.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1046" title="pink-elephant-2009-2" src="http://www.bradcarlile.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/pink-elephant-2009-2.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="175" /></p>

<p>There were 60 artists who each had a piece of work up for the past<br />
month in the hallway at <a title="Milepost 5" href="http://milepostfive.com/node" target="_blank">Milepost 5</a>.</p>
<div id="attachment_1044" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 347px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1044" title="pink-elephant-2009" src="http://www.bradcarlile.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/pink-elephant-2009.jpg" alt="Pink Elephant Milepost 5 hallway" width="337" height="450" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Pink Elephant Milepost 5 hallway</p></div>
<p>After wine, talk, and the refresh that the keg the exchange started.  Alicia Rose, the MC for the event called up each artist to pick numbers to see what work they would take home.</p>
<div id="attachment_1039" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 348px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1039" title="pink-elephant-2009-4" src="http://www.bradcarlile.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/pink-elephant-2009-4.jpg" alt="Alicia Rose with mic" width="338" height="450" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Alicia Rose with mic</p></div>
<p>Since I managed to drive through the snow storm on the first delivery day I was early in the drawing.  I was happy to get <a title="Bean Gilsdorf" href="http://www.beangilsdorf.com/index.php" target="_blank">Bean Gildorf</a>&#8217;s work.  Below is a diptych of Bean with ert art. It&#8217;s now hanging at our house. I really love it.  THANKS!</p>

<p>Also nice to meet her husband <a title="Dan Gilsdorf" href="http://www.dangilsdorf.com" target="_blank">Dan Gilsdorf</a> as well.

<p><a href="http://www.elizabethleach.com/" target="_blank">Elizabeth Leach Gallery</a> (17 NW 9th, Portland OR) has a show of the work of the late Drake Deknatel.  This exhibition is called &#8220;Berlin Portraits.&#8221;  In The Oregonian, Brian Libby wrote: &#8220;One feels pulled by these paintings into a grimy but vivid world just below the surface of human consciousness.&#8221;</p>
<p>There is some powerful work here.  I was drawn to the many portraits&#8230;</p>

<p>At <a href="http://www.buttersgallery.com/" target="_blank">Butters Gallery</a> (520 NW Davis, 2nd flr, Portland OR) there were many people were on hand for the Barbara Sheidler Bartholomew &#8220;Memorial Retrospective&#8221; show.  I didn&#8217;t get a chance to take any images of her work, but those in the NW should be familiar or go the Butters gallery website.</p>
<p>At Butters Gallery we had a nice chance to have a deligtful chat with artist Andrea Schwartz-Feit and Jeffrey Butters.  Unfortunately we missed Andrea Schwartz-Feit&#8217;s show in December, but several of  her works were up in the back room.  We liked the grid images the most.</p>

<p>This month, <a href="http://www.qpca.com/" target="_blank">Quality Pictures</a> (916 NW Hoyt, Portland, OR) has assembled four emerging Northwest photographers:   Liz Haley, Alexis Pike, Andrew O&#8217;Brien and Mark Searcy.   I particularly liked the &#8220;Starmaps&#8221; work of <a href="http://www.jungletheory.com/" target="_blank">Andrew O&#8217;Brien</a>.  The taped mylar subject was very interesting to me.  I don&#8217;t know if there was an artist statement about this work.</p>
<div id="attachment_982" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 336px"><img class="size-full wp-image-982" title="andrew-obrien-lindley-armstrong-spike-jones-quality-pictures-1" src="http://www.bradcarlile.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/andrew-obrien-lindley-armstrong-spike-jones-quality-pictures-1.jpg" alt="Andrew O' Brien Lindley Armstrong Spike Jones at Quality pictures" width="326" height="450" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Andrew O Brien Lindley Armstrong Spike Jones at Quality Pictures</p></div>
<p>I also liked the work of <a href="http://www.thisdotcomtaken.com/" target="_blank">Mark Searcy</a>, I know it was taken with a modified Bell+Howell 35mm camera, but it reminds me of the Holga work of <a href="http://www.susanbowenphoto.com/" target="_blank">Susan Bowen</a> (NYC).</p>

<p>On a sad note, TJ Norris (<a href="http://tjnorris.net/blog/" target="_blank">tjnorris.net/blog/</a> ) reports that Erik Schneider has decided to close his Quality Pictures gallery this week as well.  We hope to continue to see Erik having an influence around Portland. Eric <em>Thanks</em> for the many great shows!</p>
<p>Over at <a href="http://www.beppugallery.com" target="_blank">Beppu Wiarda Gallery</a> (319 NW 9th, Portland, OR), was a group show &#8220;Winter Light&#8221;, curated by Portland collector Leo Michelson.  This show is a great hanging of a variety of work.</p>

I know some of them were shot in Iceland, Ireland, and other places.</p>

<p>&#8230;last we heard was that after the show Brad Temkin was headed to the Oregon Coast, what will he find there?  We&#8217;ll just have to wait and see.</p>
<p>Also at Blue Sky Gallery is Tony Mendoza&#8217;s work.  You may have seen his book.</p>

<p>Didn&#8217;t get any images from Wayne F. Miller at <a href="http://hartmanfineart.net/" target="_blank">Hartman Fine Art</a> (154 NW 8th, Portland OR).  There is a new book &#8220;Wayne F.

<p>The new <a href="http://www.chambersgallery.com" target="_blank">Chambers Gallery @ 916</a> (916 Flanders, Portland OR) space has its 3rd exhibit that shows Oregonian Wes Hurd.  We liked his interesting minimalist works on paper.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This past Saturday Portland, <a title="DeVotchKa" href="http://www.devotchka.net/" target="_blank">DeVotchKa</a> put on an lively show at the Crystal Ballroom to warm the hearts of those in Portland who&#8217;ve been frozen in snow the past week.

<p>DeVotchKa, for those of you who don&#8217;t know, plays an eclectic rock &#8211; Gypsy-punk &#8211; Eastern-European &#8211; folk sound all created with blend of instruments: violin, tuba, accordion, theremin, bouzouki, and many more.  But this show had more, a tuba with christmas tree lights. <img src='http://www.bradcarlile.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>In May, <a title="DeVotchKa image by Brad Carlile in NYC" href="http://www.bradcarlile.com/blog/music/devotchka-at-t5-in-nyc/" target="_blank">I posted images of DeVotchka at their Terminal 5 show in New York City</a>.  In NYC they had many other musicians join them on stage for a bigger sound, though this more intimate show in Portland seemed to have a bit more spirit.</p>

<p>DeVotchKa, from Denver, was warmed up by a great set by Portland&#8217;s own <a title="Norfolk and Western" href="http://www.norfolkandwestern.org"><em>Norfolk and Western</em></a>, who will also join them in the Seattle show.  Sorry no images from that part of the show.</p>
<p>In May, NPR, had the following posting:<br />
