SUMMARY:The Plastic Fantastic Show X at LightBox Photographic Gallery
DESCRIPTION:The Plastic Fantastic Show X \nJune 8 – July 10\, 2019Artists’ Opening Reception: Saturday\, June 8\, 5-8pm \nLightBox Photographic Gallery1045 Marine Dr.Astoria\, OR 97103(503) 468-0238lightbox-photographic.com \nLightBox Photographic Gallery celebrates its 10th anniversary with the opening and artists’ reception of The Plastic Fantastic Show X on Saturday\, June 8\, 2019 from 5-8pm. \nThe Plastic Fantastic Show X exhibits images shot using toy\, plastic\, pinhole\, box or homemade cameras. The show is held every year to celebrate the gallery’s anniversary! This method of photography has gained popularity because of the freedom possible using cameras with less than perfect optics and control resulting in unpredictable and sometimes extraordinarily beautiful results. A large number of photographers from around the world shoot images primarily with these basic cameras\, creating unique photos that are captured on film. \nBecky Ramotowski of Taos\, New Mexico juried the exhibit. Becky is the founder of World Toy Camera Day. She has been a photo enthusiast since the age of six when she was given her first camera\, an Imperial Mark XII\, to take on a road trip across the southwestern USA. Her “official” interest in toy cameras came in 2002 after seeing quirky photos made with Holgas and Dianas at a photo lab in Texas where she bought her first Holga. \n“The very first photo I made with my Holga was one I really liked of a statue of “Nike of Samothrace” in a run-down park in San Antonio\, Texas. It was the flawed statue and the run-down park full of weeds and abandonment that lured me in and set the hook for using toy cameras. The photo was vignetted and not quite perfectly focused. Toy cameras communicate a freer sense of photography that feels natural and relaxed at relaying an idea. They aren’t perfect but are addictive and amazing in what they can do in creative hands”. \nCongratulations to the photographers accepted into The Plastic Fantastic Show X \nC B Adams • Lilyan Aloma • Helene Barrette • Stephanie BethelKerry Bishe • Amelia Bjesse-Puffin • Maureen Bond • Larissa BurkeRonald Butler • Claudia Cebrian • Elisabeth Dare • Ellen DavisChristine Eagon • Eddie Erdmann • Joanna Epstein • Liv FergusonBrian Franczyk • Alexa Frangos • Bob Gervais • J.

SUMMARY:Oliver Klink at Camerawork Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Oliver Klink\, Soul of the Bürkitshi \nJune 1- June 28\, 2019Artist’s talk\, Saturday\, June 8\, 4pm-5pm Artist’s Reception and Book signing\, June 8 5pm-6:30pm \nCamerawork Gallery301 N. Graham Street\, Portland\, OR 97227Located in Lorenzen Conference Center – Legacy Emanuel Medical Center Campus.9am – 6pm\, Monday-Saturday\, Sunday\, 10am-4pmFree off street parking available\, Stair and elevator access\, TriMet Routes 4\, 24 and 44www.TheCameraworkGallery.orgwww.Facebook.com/cameraworkgallery503-701-5347Event is free and open to the public \nNestled in the snowy mountaintops of Western Mongolia\, the Kazakhs have mastered the ancient and noble art of hunting with eagles. For nomadic tribes\, their survival depends not only on training these majestic birds but in passing on their skills to the younger generation. For centuries\, this knowledge has been transferred from father to son\, but that’s all beginning to change. \nThe young women are becoming Bürkitshi\, the Kazakh word for eagle hunters. This shift is no accident. Eagle hunting has slowly transitioned from a means of survival to a sightseeing attraction. This influx of commercialism has altered their trading power and divided the community. No longer are they exchanging goods and furs\, now they are earning currency through tourism. Teaching the art of eagle hunting to women makes the Kazakh even more interesting to tourists and prevents the sport from becoming diluted or dying out altogether. \nThese images are a glimpse into the soul of the hunters in a time of rapid change. There is a deep bond and a rich unspoken language between the Bürkitshi and their eagles. Yes\, the hunt is violent\, but the Bürkitshi’s intimate connection with their animals instills the sport with a sense of grace and art. \nFor those who truly live as Bürkitshi\, the future doesn’t faze them. They still hunt in the way of their ancestors\, migrate through the rugged terrain and share stories over cups of fermented mare’s milk and baursak (fried dough balls). Only now\, these stories are being told by brave new huntresses. \nGeir Jordahl (Publisher\, True North Editions) writes: “Klink’s images transcend borders without homogenizing very distinct peoples\, nationalities\, and cultures. The uniqueness of each is present\, yet Klink asks us to see the links between them and to see ourselves within each tribe. He connects us through the use of common bonds\, gestures\, and expressions. In this way the personalities of his subjects shine through – their emotion\, their joy\, their connections with each other and\, by association their connection to the viewer.” \nPrinting Technique: The images were photographed with high-resolution cameras\, ranging from medium format digital Hasselblad to full frame mirrorless Sony. The images are printed with a special technique called Piezography. Piezography is the first fine-art archival black & white digital printing process\, which has a unique combination of surface reflection\, high fidelity\, and tone due to a proprietary pigment manufacturing. ABOUT THE ARTIST Oliver Klink was educated as a physicist and photographer. He was awarded 2019 IPPY GOLD AWARD by the Independent Book Publisher for best photography book of 2018 (Cultures in Transition: Spirit Heart Soul)\, Black and White Photographer of the year (2018) by Dodho Magazine\, Top 50 Artist (2016 & 2018) Photolucida Critical Mass\, Spotlight winner of Black and White Magazine Portfolio edition (2018)\, Best of the Best Black and White Emerging Photographers by BWGallerist (2016).  \nHe has had solo exhibits at Middlebury Institute of International Studies\, Monterey\, California; Conti Museum\, Festival de La Luz\, Buenos Aires\, Argentina; Black Rapid Gallery\, Seattle\, Washington; Pictura Gallery\, Bloomington\, Indiana; CameraWork\, Portland\, Oregon; PhotoCentral Gallery\, Hayward\, California; Shadows Gallery\, Arles\, France.  \nOliver Klink resides in Los Gatos\, California with his wife. \nPurchasing Work: His award-winning book (2019 IPPY GOLD AWARD by Independent publisher) and limited edition prints are for sale at www.culturesintransition.com \n

SUMMARY:Gioncarlo Valentine at Blue Sky Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Gioncarlo Valentine\, The Soft Fence \nJune 6–30\, 2019 First Thursday opening reception: June 6\, 6:00–9:00 PMArtist talk: Saturday\, June 8\, 3:00 PM \nBlue Sky Gallery 122 NW 8th AvenuePortland\, Oregon 97209 USA503-225-0210Tuesday – Sunday\, 12 – 5 pmFirst Thursday 6 – 9 pmbluesky@blueskygallery.orghttp://www.blueskygallery.org/All Blue Sky events and programs are free and open to the public. \n“When I hear Black men say they don’t cry\, is this genuine? Has hardness forced the tears from them permanently? Are they able?… How many men in our community are flailing beneath the weight of their performances\, and what are the real life consequences?” \nIn The Soft Fence\, Gioncarlo Valentine explores what is beyond the wall of performative hypermasculinity within Black culture. Having grown up queer and femme-presenting\, Valentine’s work is influenced by his desire to understand the experiences of straight men in his community and the standards of masculinity imposed on them. These photographs are “a series of questions about access\, performance\, proximity\, Black manhood\, and Black brotherhood\,” in which Valentine asks viewers to question where the performance begins and ends\, and what preconceived ideas they may have about his subjects. \nGioncarlo Valentine (b. 1990) is an American documentary/portraiture photographer and writer currently based in New York. Valentine hails from Baltimore City and attended Towson University in Maryland. His work focuses on issues faced by marginalized populations\, most often focusing his lens on the experiences of Black/LGBTQIA+ communities. Valentine was named a 2018 En Foco Photography Fellow and was a member of the 2018 class of Skowhegan’s School of Painting and Sculpture. He is a contributing photographer for The New York Times and has had his work published in Propublica\, The Fader\, Essence\, THEM\, Harpers Bazaar\, and Newsweek\, among other publications. \n

SUMMARY:Rachel Wolf at The Chehalem Cultural Center
DESCRIPTION:Rachel Wolf\, Unconditional \nJune 4\, 2019 – August 3\, 2019Opening Reception: Friday\, June 7\, 5-8pm \nCentral GalleryThe Chehalem Cultural Center415 E Sheridan\, Newberg\, OR 97132503-487-6883Gallery Hours: Tuesday – Saturday\, 9am-6pmWebsite:chehalemculturalcenter.orgrachelwolf.com \nThe art of alchemy is the transmutation of matter\, a process wherein something is changed from one state to another in order to achieve a higher or more valuable form. My work takes from the alchemists this idea of transmutative elevation\, which in my projects is achieved through color and chemical action. \nMy principal method of working involves directly exposing photographic materials to light and chemicals. These essential matters become the tools\, subjects and direct chemical process that create the final image. I choose to return to these irreducible elements\, the invisible tools of analogue photography\, in order to produce a new\, tangible photographic subject. Taking the camera away from photography doesn’t remove the possibility for an image\, instead it provides space for proposing images for an un-lensed\, visual world. \nRachel Wolf specializes in camera-less photography\, alternative/antique processes\, and immersive environments through light-based installations. Rachel is an educator and speaker in the field of photography. She has exhibited her work nationally\, including New York\, San Francisco\, Los Angeles\, Cincinnati\, Seattle\, and Portland. Recently her work was acquired into the City of Portland’s public art collection and she has been the Artist in Residence at Rose Villa in Milwaukee\, OR. Rachel is a founding member of FO(u)RT Collective\, a multi-disciplinary arts collective that creates/curates exhibitions and events. Originally from Anchorage\, Alaska\, Rachel earned her BA from Hampshire College and her MFA from Pacific Northwest College of Art. Rachel currently resides in Portland\, OR. \n

SUMMARY:Mark Aghatise at Blue Sky Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Mark Aghatise\, Study One \nJune 6–30\, 2019First Thursday opening reception: June 6\, 6:00–9:00 PMArtist talk: Thursday\, June 6\, 5:00 PM \nBlue Sky Gallery 122 NW 8th AvenuePortland\, Oregon 97209 USA503-225-0210Tuesday – Sunday\, 12 – 5 pmFirst Thursday 6 – 9 pmbluesky@blueskygallery.orghttp://www.blueskygallery.org/All Blue Sky events and programs are free and open to the public. \nIn Study One\, Mark Aghatise manipulates photographs to examine “the bifurcation of self that occurs in contemporary urban life.” Upon moving to New York City\, Aghatise became distinctly aware of the tendency for people to split into public and private personas\, and of their desire\, or need\, to create and market a perfect outward version of themselves. At the same time\, he was grappling with similar questions regarding himself\, his body\, and his feelings of dysmorphia in relation to it. \nAghatise found an avenue for this self-examination through his work as an editorial photographer. He writes\, “Through photographing other black bodies\, I began to better understand my own and ultimately how to contort and queer the space it inhabits.” Regarding his process with his subjects\, he states\, “I analyzed during our shoots whether there was a difference in their public self that they would bring to set and the private self that would reveal itself by the end of the session. Noting the differences\, I worked to use tactile manipulations of their image to reflect what I perceived in each of them. I wanted to craft a more cohesive image\, reflecting the layers.” \nMark Aghatise is a London-born\, New York-based artist. His work explores the processes of deconstructing and constructing images of the black male figure. Movement\, repetition\, and the failure of both are central to his photographic studies and endeavors. His work interrogates our current cultural understanding and relationship to photographs and photography as a medium. Through a design-oriented lens\, Aghatise scans\, rips\, and distorts images to question and stretch our perception of reality within a photograph to make audiences conscious of their perspective and gaze.

SUMMARY:Rich Bergeman at Benton County Museum
DESCRIPTION:Rich Bergeman\, The Land Remembers \nMay 10 – June 15\, 2019Opening reception Friday\, May 10\, from 5-6:30pmGallery Talk\, Saturday\, June 1\, at 2pm \nMooreland GalleryBenton County Museum1101 Main St.Philomath\, OR 97370www.bentoncountymuseum.org541-929-6230Open Tues-Sat 10am-4:30pm \n“The Land Remembers: Photographs Inspired by the Rogue River Wars” features more than 30 black-and-white infrared photographs by Corvallis photographer Rich Bergeman. \nOver the last three years Bergeman has explored hundreds of miles of back roads in the Rogue River Country\, from Mt. McLoughlin to Gold Beach–as well as a few more miles on the river–in search of places where one of the bloodiest and longest-running wars in the state’s history raged in the early 1850s. Largely forgotten today\, the Rogue River Wars festered and flared up multiple times between 1851 and 1854 before erupting into all out war involving the U.S. Army in 1855-56. It ended with the forced removal of the Rogue Valley and the South Coast tribes to reservations at Siletz and Grand Ronde in what natives remember as Oregon’s own “Trail of Tears.” \nBergeman says his goal was not to document exact sites from the war years\, but rather to bring the historic conflict back to life through a “reflective look at the beautiful and sublime landscape that played host to such tragic events over 160 years ago.” \nAn Oregonian since 1976\, Bergeman is a retired instructor of journalism and photography for Linn-Benton Community College in Albany. The 70-year-old photographer has been exhibiting his work at various venues in the Northwest and beyond since the 1980s. Over the past two decades he has focused primarily on portraying forgotten Northwest histories through photographs of what’s been left behind. His photographic portfolios can be seen at richbergeman.zenfolio.com\, and in book form at blurb.com

SUMMARY:C.A. Burns Photography - The Innovative Eye in memoriam at The O’Brien Photo Gallery
DESCRIPTION:C.A. Burns Photography\, The Innovative Eyein memoriam \nThe show runs from May 11th through July 11th.Reception on Saturday\, May 11th from 4-6 pm. \nThe O’Brien Photo Gallery2833 Willamette\, Ste. BEugene\, OR 97405541 729 3572Open weekdays\, call to be sure we’re openwaltobrien1945@gmail.comhttps://www.waltobrien.net \nThis is a memorial show for an early member of the PhotoZone Gallery who passed awaythis year. He passed away before the show was organized. \nFrom an article by Paul Carter in the Eugene Scene Website https://www.eugenescene.org. \n“To make a living\, he started a career in social work\, managing a training center for developmentally disabled adults in California. After several agency positions\, the path ended in burnout. Odd jobs followed in San Francisco and briefly in Seattle. He started a professional darkroom and photography business. There were even episodes of living on the street forced by his precarious financial situation and a natural disaster\, a mudslide in San Carlos\, Calif. in 1983. In Eugene since 1991\, Burns taught photography at the Craft Center at the University of Oregon and worked for Dot Dotson’s photo equipment and photo finishing stores. Along the way\, there was plenty of artistic rejection. A gallery owner in San Francisco turned down his early work with the advice to “print bigger.” He took that advice to heart. Burns’ photography defies easy categorization. He works in single images that range from street portraits\, still life and landscapes to documentary photographs. He also has experimented with manipulated images. There is some color; all the work is 35 mm and done with natural light. He is drawn to faces but hastens to explain that he wants to photograph people — often strangers on the street — to reveal “what the person is about.” Portraits almost always involve hours of conversation with his subjects. He is never a snapshooter.” \n

Each of my images has a special meaning for me. For each\, I can recall the light and the unique photographic aspects of the scene. I am fortunate both to live in Oregon and to have the ability to travel to photograph. Oregon and the west are magical places where one can capture the extraordinary beauty in simple natural things.For many years\, I used black and white film and printed in the traditional darkroom. I now photograph digitally with a high-resolution camera\, and do post processing in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop.All photographs are manipulated. A two dimensional piece of paper is not reality; black and white is not reality; the colors in photographs are not real either. Just choosing where to place the corners in a composition requires a conscious decision. I have modified the color in some images as I have modified the tonal relationships in black and white\, both traditionally and digitally to produce images that please me. \n

SUMMARY:2019 Curatorial Prize: An Inward Gaze at Blue Sky Gallery
DESCRIPTION:2019 Curatorial Prize: An Inward Gazecurated by Jon Feinstein and Roula Seikalyphotographs by Arielle Bobb-Willis and Brittney Cathey-Adams \nMay 2–June 2\, 2019First Thursday opening reception: May 2\, 6:00–9:00 PMArtist-led tour of An Inward Gaze: Saturday\, May 4\, 3:00 PM \nBlue Sky Gallery 122 NW 8th AvenuePortland\, Oregon 97209 USA503-225-0210Tuesday – Sunday\, 12 – 5 pmFirst Thursday 6 – 9 pmbluesky@blueskygallery.orghttp://www.blueskygallery.org/All Blue Sky events and programs are free and open to the public. \nBlue Sky is pleased to present its second annual curatorial prize exhibition\, An Inward Gaze. Curators Jon Feinstein and Roula Seikaly have brought together the work of Arielle Bobb-Willis and Brittney Cathey-Adams\, two women who make sculptural\, performative images that counter the male gaze and its prevalence in art history. In doing so\, they illustrate how this power dynamic bolsters pervasive gender\, race\, and body size stereotypes in contemporary art and pop culture. Bobb-Willis’ vivid staged photographs use the human form as source material and as stand-ins for self-portraits representing her own complex emotional struggles. Cathey-Adams creates black-and-white self-portraits in various natural settings that declare personal agency in representation\, and defy historical stigmas attached to women who do not fit an idealized physical mold. \nFeinstein and Seikaly describe the work in An Inward Gaze as “an abstraction of control and self representation. Rather than offering a salve for the many complex problems tied to the male gaze\, we’ve paired the work of Arielle Bobb-Willis and Brittney Cathey-Adams in an attempt to reframe looking: how two artists use photography to process their own inner struggles\, how they use images of the physical form as metaphors for these monologues\, and ultimately\, how their methods are a means of taking ownership over their bodies and inward spaces.” \nAbout the Curators:Jon Feinstein is a Seattle and New York City-based photographer\, curator\, writer\, and co-founder of Humble Arts Foundation. Jon has curated numerous exhibitions over the last decade in venues including Glassbox Gallery in Seattle\, The Filter Photo Festival in Chicago\, Photographic Center Northwest in Seattle\, Hasted Kraeutler in NYC\, Affirmation Arts in NYC\, Barclays Arena in Brooklyn\, New York\, and Milk Studios in NYC. His curatorial projects have been featured in Aperture\, The New York Times\, The New Republic\, BBC\, VICE\, The New Yorker\, Hyperallergic\, Feature Shoot\, and American Photo\, and his writing has appeared in VICE\, TIME\, Slate\, GOOD\, Daylight\, Photograph\, and PDN. \nRoula Seikaly is a writer and independent curator based in Berkeley\, and Humble Arts Foundation’s Senior Editor. Her writing is featured on platforms including Aperture\, Photograph\, Saint Lucy\, Strange Fire Collective\, Camerawork\, Hyperallergic\, and KQED Arts. She has curated exhibitions at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts\, the Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts\, SOMArts\, and SF Camerawork. \nAbout the Artists:Born and raised in New York City\, with pit stops in South Carolina and New Orleans\, photographer Arielle Bobb-Willis has been using the camera for nearly a decade as a tool of empowerment. Battling with depression from an early age\, Bobb-Willis found solace behind the lens and has developed a visual language that speaks to the complexities of life: the beautiful\, the strange\, belonging\, isolation\, and connection. Her photographs are all captured in urban and rural cities\, from the South to North\, East to West. Bobb-Willis travels throughout the US as a way of finding “home” in any grassy knoll\, or city sidewalk\, reminding us to stay connected and grounded during life’s transitional moments. She is currently based in New York City. \nBrittney Cathey-Adams is a photographic artist currently located in Portland\, Oregon. Her work includes themes of body politics\, fat positivity\, and interrogating ideas of representation through self-portraiture. Her work has been exhibited at institutions such as the de Young Museum\, The Center for Fine Art Photography in Fort Collins\, Colorado\, and Rayko Photo Center in San Francisco. Most recently\, she was a 2017 Artist In Residence with Center for Photography at Woodstock\, New York. Previously\, she taught photography and created program curricula in the Bay Area for seven years. She is currently teaching photography with Portland Community College. With a strong passion for photography and art education\, Cathey-Adams dedicates herself to image making as well as sharing visual language through teaching in and out of the classroom. \n

SUMMARY:Pelle Cass at Camerawork Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Pelle Cass\, Crowded Fields \nMay 4 – May 31\, 2019 \nCamerawork Gallery301 N. Graham Street\, Portland\, OR 97227Located in Lorenzen Conference Center – Legacy Emanuel Medical Center Campus.9am – 6pm\, Monday-Saturday\, Sunday\, 10am-4pmFree off street parking available\, Stair and elevator access\, TriMet Routes 4\, 24 and 44www.TheCameraworkGallery.orgwww.Facebook.com/cameraworkgallery503-701-5347Event is free and open to the public \nBrookline\, MA photographer Pelle Cass notes\, “The reshuffled time of this series of composite photographs called Crowded Fields\, play prevails over competition\, the stands are empty\, and the fields are full\, whole games are shown out of sequence. I rearrange the archetypes of sports into new patterns. \n“To make the compositions\, I put my camera on a tripod\, take up to a thousand pictures\, and compile selected figures into a final photograph that is kind of a still time-lapse. I change nothing—not a pixel—only select what to keep and what to omit. It all happened just as you see it\, just not at the same time. \n“My subjects are the lightly attended fields\, arenas\, and stadiums of college and amateur teams (especially women’s teams) around Boston where I live. I try\, in the series\, to convey a sense of ecstatic chaos–rhythm\, pattern\, and bodily pleasure that conspire to turn sports back into a game\, one that may be invisible to the eye\, but clear to my camera.” \nBasic information on my process • I put my camera on a tripod and take up to a thousand or more photos over an hour or two from the exact same spot. A thousand photos is typical. • I compose the files in Photoshop. A typical finished photo might include two- to fourhundred layers. • It takes me about 40 hours to assemble a photo in Photoshop. The whole process— from shooting to polishing the final file—might take about two weeks if I’m working on it full time. \nPelle Cass is a photographer from Brookline\, Massachusetts. His work is in the collections of the Fogg Art Museum\, the Addison Gallery of American Art\, the Polaroid Collection\, the DeCordova Museum\, the Peabody Essex Museum\, the MFA\, Houston\, and others. Cass’s work has been published widely online\, in books such as Photoviz\, Deleueze and the City\, and Langford’s Basic Photography and magazines such as Consumer Reports\, Businessweek\, McSweeney’s\, and the Boston Art Review.\, and he’s received fellowships from Yaddo and the Polaroid Collection. \nwww.PelleCass.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/pellecass/

SUMMARY:Lew Nunnelley at Pearl Gallery and Framing
DESCRIPTION:Lew Nunnelley\, UNCONVENTIONAL ROLLING ART: GRAFFITI CACOPHONY \nMay 2 to June 2\, 2019Reception:  May 2 from 5pm to 9pm \nPearl Gallery and Framing2250 NW 22nd Ave Suite 404 Portland\, OR 97210503.274.9878Normal hours:9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Weekdays11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdaysand every First Thursday until 9 p.m.tekoah@pearlframing.comhttps://Pearlframing.com/ \nFor the month of May\, Pearl Gallery & Framing will be showcasing a selection of photographs of graffiti by Lew Nunnelley. This selection of photographs\, were made from graffiti images on railroad cars in the Willamette Valley. \n“Painting on railroad cars is considered vandalism by some\, therefore painting or “tagging” should be done only with prior approval\, – Lew Nunnelley \nLew has been making photographs for many years. Like most photographers in the 35mm film era Lew has several shoeboxes of slides that take up space in his closet. About 20 years ago he decided to try to get better at making photographs so he began taking workshops with Galen Rowell\, John Sexton\, Henry Gilpin and others. Based on those workshops and his interests at that time he pursued traditional landscape photography. Lew still makes photographs with his trusty 4×5 view camera\, however as time went on he began to develop an interest in observing and documenting the interaction of people with the environment – how people perceive and manipulate the environment/landscape. This more human oriented view of our environment led to his interest in photographing graffiti. \n“Doing graffiti is different than most art. There is no career path. It’s usually anonymous. And the graffiti on railroad cars doesn’t usually stay put – it’s mobile\, ephemeral and there is little hope of getting kudos from the professional taste makers.” \nThe question Lew poses is “why would someone paint graffiti – especially on railroad cars when the railroad companies are usually not enthusiastic about the activity?” His conclusion is that there are several possible motivations of graffiti artists but one\, he believes\, is that it is the creation of a work of art which livens up the train yard and hopefully is seen by many people\, if only briefly. He feels it is a very unselfish and lighthearted way of altering the environment. In passing them\, Lew notes that in his opinion\, some of the “pieces” (as works of graffiti are called) exhibit a high degree of artistic talent. \n“I am not a professional photographer. I am a retired engineer. I do\, however\, wish to thank all the graffiti artists who have made my journey through life and place a little more colorful.” – Lew Nunnelley. \n

Antaki creates portraits of the Guardians that invite the viewer connect to the beauty of these often forgotten spaces. Antaki believes that these temples are the heart and soul of every city; they are what give the urban center its uniqueness in time and place. As so many of them are closing\, Antaki seeks to preserve their memory and pay them tribute. \nVladimir Antaki was born in Riyadh\, Saudi Arabia in 1980. He grew up in Paris and studied art history and film studies at La Sorbonne. In 2003\, Antaki moved to Montreal\, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in visual and media arts from L’Université du Québec à Montréal in 2007. The Guardians has been exhibited in public spaces and galleries in more than a hundred cities across France and North America\, as well as throughout Lebanon. The series won an Infopresse Lux prize in 2013\, and was selected to represent Canada in The Other Hundred\, a photo-book curated by the Global Institute For Tomorrow. Most recently\, Antaki has published a monograph of The Guardians through Kehrer Verlag.

DESCRIPTION:Adam Bacher\, Riding the Storm Out – A Blizzard of Ravens \nOPEN/CLOSE: April 4th  – May 31\, 2019Opening Reception: Friday April 5th\,  6-8 pmArtist Talk: Friday April 26th\,  7:30- 9pm \nPushdot Studio2505 SE 11th AvenueSuite 104 (in the Ford Building\, enter on Division Street)  Portland\, OR 97202503.224.5925 www.pushdotstudio.comGallery Hours: Mon-Fri. 8:30am to 5:00pm\, free admission   \nThis February\, Ravens flew high in the chaos of a blizzard. An inkblot Rorschach riding the sky in punishing winds. And a photographer ventured freely into the furious storm to record their actions. The snow collected in feet not inches\, on the slopes of Mount Hood. Trees turned a cold hue of winter storm white. Winds blew steady at 35\, gusting to 60. Snow forget how to fall\, accelerated horizontally in the relentless storm. \nA blend of synthetic fiber\, fleece and feather kept me warm. I was better off not knowing the windchill. Access to the day’s show was all I needed. It had been five years since my first encounter with Ravens\, and I couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate the anniversary. \nThis project began on whim after bitter winds brought and early end to a mountain ski trip in February 2014. Back in the parking lot I watched a small group of Ravens from the comfort of a warm car and a thermos of hot cocoa. There they were\, gliding effortlessly between towering fir trees\, not a care in the world. It was enchanting. \nI’d never photographed birds before and almost drove home. But something about those Ravens drew me over. I put on snowshoes and walked to them. Did I decide to come to the Ravens\, or did they decide to have me come over? I’m still not sure. \nPremier Showing – All new work and first edition prints  \nYou may find Adam’s raven work at ConspiracyOfRavens.com

SUMMARY:Call for Entries - Our Diversity is our Strength curated exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Our Diversity is our StrengthCall for Entries \nThe call for entries is running now through an extended date of April 21st (calendar) \nThe exhibit will open at Pro Photo Supply on June 6th and be up through August1112 NW 19th Ave. Portland\, OR 97209503-241-1112 \nFor questions about submissions email Paige Stoyer at cpstoyer@gmail.com \n30 images will be selected by curators Paige Stoyer and Jim Lommasson for the exhibit at Pro Photo SupplySelected images will also be on display at Blue Sky Gallery on the community wall for June and July\, and in one of the community drawers as well \nOur diversity is our strengthA curated exhibition telling the story of immigrants in our community \nAfter a very successful exhibition in 2018\, we are excited to announce the second edition of this curated photography exhibit\, created to highlight through original photographs the diversity and strength of our community. Partners The Immigrant Story and Pro Photo Supply make this project possible\, helping to address issues that are increasingly prevalent in our country today: xenophobia and the dehumanization of immigrants\, whose stories are our stories as a community and a nation.   \nThis year’s photo contest\, open from March 1 through April 14\, 2019\, welcomes submissions that depict the stories of immigrants who have added to our diverse cultural landscape. We encourage photographers of all levels\, including students\, to submit\, as well as families and individuals who wish to share family snapshots which help tell their own immigrant story — either past or present.   \nWe are a nation of many immigrants and ethnicities woven together to create a beautiful tapestry of different identities and cultures. The current social and political climate in the United States has reminded us that many of our neighbors continue to face prejudice.  This exhibit will bring together photographers\, the photo education community\, and the immigrant community to tell the story of our past\, present\, and future as a nation of immigrants.   \nA final selection of 30 images will be made in May and showcased at Pro Photo Supply in a large format exhibition that will run from June through August 2019. There will be a gallery opening and a community event at their store on First Thursday\, June 6\, 2019.   \nAdditionally our curators\, photographers Paige Stoyer and Jim Lommasson\, will be selecting up to 20 images to be shown at Blue Sky Gallery throughout June and July 2019\, on the community wall and in one of the community drawers that the gallery is providing especially for images from our exhibition. Photos will also be shared on social media and other online platforms. \nBy learning something about the individuals whose journeys brought them to this country\, we hope to enhance mutual understanding. Through visual stories of immigrants\, whether first-\, second-\, or 10th-generation\, we can examine the hopes and dreams that we all have in common and develop a new appreciation for those things that bind us together. \nFor more information and to submit entries\, please visit our website athttps://theimmigrantstory.org/diversity-is-our-strength/ \nImages selected for last year’s exhibition\, which included professional\, amateur\, student submissions as well as some family snapshots\, can be viewed at https://theimmigrantstory.org/photo-contest-2018/ \nSponsored by:Pro Photo Supply\, Portland\, OR (http://prophotosupply.com/)The Immigrant Story\, Portland\, OR (https://theimmigrantstory.org/)

I benefit from the resources they transport and the costs of such delivery systems are born by others in far away places.” \nMeghan L. E. Kirkwood travels the route of the infamous Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) in her series #ViewsFromDAPL. For those who may know of it\, but have not witnessed the destruction happening on the ground\, Kirkwood provides a visual. By highlighting the disruption to the landscape\, this body of work “examines the ways in which documentary images of land can provide context to current debates related to land-use and natural resource extraction.” \nMeghan L. E. Kirkwood is Assistant Professor of Art at North Dakota State University where she teaches Photography and Foundations courses. She earned a B.F.A. from Rhode Island School of Design in Photography in 2006 before completing her MFA in Studio Art at Tulane University in 2009. She has received numerous fellowships\, including funding to participate in artist residencies through the National Parks Service\, the Vermont Studio Center\, and the Lakeside Lab in Iowa. Kirkwood’s photography has been exhibited throughout the United States\, Europe\, and South Africa. \n

Angel spent a few years in NYC studying architecture at the Cooper Union\, six years renovating old houses\, a few years owning the Ladybug Cafe (she still misses making cappuccinos) and then a couple of misguided years owning a consignment store. Angel’s hands have never strayed too far from a camera and over the last 25 years her work has wandered through many subjects\, most recently settling quite resolutely into alt-process self portraiture. When she isn’t making photos or writing poetry\, she lives in St. Johns with her daughter Gwendolyn\, where much cooking and gardening and art happens somewhat frequently. \nAngel works with several alternative processes\, including platinum palladium\, gum bichromate\, and collage.You can see Angel’s talk at the April 15th PPF meeting at the Multnomah Arts Center from 8-9 PM: the meeting starts at 7 PM and is free and open to the public. This meeting will feature exclusively female- idenitfiying presenters\, and we are excited to highlight the incredible work they contribute to PPF.

Graham Street\, Portland\, OR 97227Located in Lorenzen Conference Center – Legacy Emanuel Medical Center Campus.9am – 6pm\, Monday-Saturday\, Sunday\, 10am-4pmFree off street parking available\, Stair and elevator access\, TriMet Routes 4\, 24 and 44www.TheCameraworkGallery.orgwww.Facebook.com/cameraworkgallery503-701-5347Event is free and open to the public \nIn “Memory of Never” Portland\, Oregon photographer Ray Bidegain explores the genre of the diptych through the pairing of photographs\, one from his catalog\, and one newer work that he feels interacts with the old work in an interesting way. These two handmade platinum prints are presented side by side\, and in this way Bidegain is creating conversations previously unspoken. He is interested in the way in which these conversations will be heard differently by each viewer\, and how that may vary from what he was thinking about when pairing the photos. The relationship between these pictures will be fleeting – a brief interaction for the purpose of this exhibit – and then they will go back to being presented and sold individually.  \nPart of this exhibition also includes a few paired photos from Bidegain’s new series\, “As We Get Older.” In this series he is exploring the challenge and beauty that accompanies aging. He captures physical changes and enduring spirit\, as well as the ways in which society’s gaze turns away from older people. These are the first images presented from this developing body of work. \nABOUT THE ARTISTBorn in Tucson\, Arizona1981\, B.A. Commercial Photography\, Brooks Institute of Photography\, Santa Barbara\, CA.Lives in Portland\, Oregon where Ray Bidegain Studios is also located. \nwww.RayBidegain.com \n
