SUMMARY:Lincoln Kwan Miller at Pushdot Studio
DESCRIPTION:Lincoln Kwan Miller\, Undocumented Credentials \nDecember 5th – January 29\, 2019\nOpening reception on December 7th from 6-8pm. \nPushdot Studio\n2505 SE 11th Avenue\, Suite 104\nPortland\, OR 97202\nMon-Fri. 8:30am to 5:00pm\, free admission \nI had never considered myself as the primary subject in an image. But then I started thinking why not? A terrifying thought\, because I have spent my life dealing with feelings of alienation and trying to fit into my skin. I’ve coped with this by attempting to become invisible\, hopeless for the apparent but superficial reason of my physical appearance. This show is about the irony of feeling different yet wanting to fit in and a reflection on how our external environment helps define who we are. \n

SUMMARY:Zeb Andrews at Camerawork Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Zeb Andrews\, Sea \nDecember 1 – January 4\, 2019.\nArtist Talk\, Saturday\, December 1\, 3PM – 4PM\nArtist Reception\, Saturday\, December 1\, 4PM – 5:30PM. \nCamerawork Gallery\n301 N. Graham Street\, Portland\, OR 97227\nLocated in Lorenzen Conference Center – Legacy Emanuel Medical Center Campus.\n9am – 6pm\, Monday-Saturday\, Sunday\, 10am-4pm\nFree off street parking available\, Stair and elevator access\, TriMet Routes 4\, 24 and 44\nwww.TheCameraworkGallery.org\nwww.Facebook.com/cameraworkgallery\n503-701-534 \nPortland photographer Zeb Andrews will be sharing selections from “Sea”\, a series of medium format film images made during his many trips to the Pacific coast of Oregon and Washington. Andrews is a prolific photographer who has been working in the Portland photographic community for nearly two decades as an educator with various institutions and on the retail side of things with Blue Moon Camera and Machine. For as long as he has been involved with the local community\, he has been photographing along the Oregon coast for even longer.\nMade predominantly using a Hasselblad camera older than he is\, and with B&W film\, “Sea” represents a portion of the Pacific Ocean images that reflect Andrews’ attempts to understand and explain his relationship with the ocean. Visiting in a variety of weather\, returning again and again\, and using neutral density filters to lengthen the time he stands there watching the waves\, “Sea” contains images that explore where our coastline and the ocean meet over spans of time and year-round. His images capture tranquility as well as tempestuousness; they invoke beauty but also caution and danger. Their scope ranges from stretches of coast reaching miles into the distance\, to smaller and more intimate nooks along the shoreline. Through it all\, “Sea” offers a glimpse of many different oceans—each with a different emotional resonance for Andrews. \nZeb Andrews has lived the entire 40 years of his life in the Pacific Northwest and within easy distance of the Pacific Ocean. Most of his photographic life has been spent on its windswept shores\, breathing its salty air and making photographs to slowly piece together the puzzle of what it all means to him. Andrews is many other things\, just as the ocean can be many things\, but this is the facet of himself he would most have you know. At least for now. \nThis will be Andrews’ second solo exhibit at Camerawork Gallery. He held his first-ever solo exhibit at Camerawork Gallery in February\, 2008. \nMore of Zeb’s work can be found on his website at www.zebandrews.com\, and he can also be e-mailed at zeb@zebandrews.com. \n

SUMMARY:Wendy Red Star at Pushdot Studio
DESCRIPTION:Wendy Red Star\, 1873 Crow Delegation \nOPEN/CLOSE: October 3-November 31\, 2018\nClosing reception on November 30 from 6-8pm. \nPushdot Studio\n2505 SE 11th Avenue\, Suite 104\nPortland\, OR 97202\nMon-Fri. 8:30am to 5:00pm\, free admission \nThe poignant exhibition by Wendy Red Star consists of reproductions of photographs\, taken in Washington D.C by the Department of Interior and the Bureau of Ethnology. The images were annotated by Red Star with notes on cultural detail in red ink\, scrawled on the portraits\, asserting each individual”s identity and accomplishments. The photographs reflect the deliberate erasure of Native American culture that served to dehumanize the Crow and other indigenous people in the U.S. \nWendy Red Star works across disciplines to explore the intersections of Native American ideologies and colonialist structures\, both historically and in contemporary society. Raised on the Apsáalooke (Crow) reservation in Montana\, Red Star’s work is informed both by her cultural heritage and her engagement with many forms of creative expression\, including photography\, sculpture\, video\, fiber arts\, and performance. An avid researcher of archives and historical narratives\, Red Star seeks to incorporate and recast her research\, offering new and unexpected perspectives in work that is at once inquisitive\, witty and unsettling. Intergenerational collaborative work is integral to her practice\, along with creating a forum for the expression of Native women’s voices in contemporary art. \nRed Star has exhibited in the United States and abroad at venues including the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, Fondation Cartier pour l’ Art Contemporain\, Domaine de Kerguéhennec\, Portland Art Museum\, Hood Art Museum\, St. Louis Art Museum\, and the Minneapolis Institute of Art\, among others. She served a visiting lecturer at institutions including Yale University\, the Figge Art Museum\, the Banff Centre\, National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne\, Dartmouth College\, CalArts\, Flagler College\, and I.D.E.A. Space in Colorado Springs. In 2017\, Red Star was awarded the Louis Comfort Tiffany Award and in 2018 she received a Smithsonian Artist Research Fellowship. In 2019 Red Star will have her first career survey exhibition at the Newark Museum in Newark New Jersey. \nRed Star holds a BFA from Montana State University\, Bozeman\, and an MFA in sculpture from University of California\, Los Angeles. She lives and works in Portland\, OR. \n

SUMMARY:Isaac Layman at Elizabeth Leach Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Isaac Layman\, Never Was A Thing \nNovember 1 – December 29\, 2018\nFirst Thursday Reception: Nov. 1\, 6:00 – 8:00 pm \nArtist Talk: Thursday\, Nov. 15\, 5:30 – 7:30 pm\nArguing About Seeing\, a conversation between artist Isaac Layman and Linda Tesner\, Director and Curator of the Hoffman Gallery at Lewis & Clark College \nElizabeth Leach Gallery\n417 NW 9th Avenue\nPortland\, OR 97209\nwww.elizabethleach.com\n503-224-0521\nart@elizabethleach.com\nHours: Tuesday – Saturday\, 10:30 – 5:30 \nIsaac Layman makes large format photographic constructions of objects inside his home and captures astonishingly vivid details through the scientific precision of his process. Multiple perspectives coalesce and recognizable subjects challenge the viewer’s perception through meticulous optic detail. The artist creates the visual experience of “semantic satiation”\, a psychological phenomenon in which repetition causes a word or phrase to temporarily lose meaning for the listener. Layman’s images similarly seem to transform through extended periods of looking and become more peculiar\, alien and intriguing. \nLayman’s new large format photographs are featured in the first gallery\, along with his uniquely conceived installation in the adjacent space. On display in the second gallery are pictures that Layman captured during a 24-hour silent retreat within the confines of his bathroom. During his self-imposed home retreat\, the artist absorbs and reflects the experience of listening to National Public Radio’s perpetual news cycle through images on his phone camera. Every picture included in Never Was A Thing is imbued with Layman’s intensive process: a record of unflinching visual absorption and a meditation on the subjective nature of reality. \nLayman’s work has appeared in Lifelike\, a traveling exhibition organized by the Walker Art Center (Minneapolis\, MN) second nature: abstract photography then and now\, at the DeCordova Sculpture Park and Museum (Lincoln\, MA)\, and Paradise\, a solo show at the Frye Art Museum (Seattle\, WA). Layman’s work is included in numerous private and public collections\, including the Frye Art Museum\, the Henry Art Gallery (Seattle\, WA)\, the Margulies Collection at the Warehouse (Miami\, FL)\, the Monsen Collection of Photography (Seattle\, WA)\, the Museum of Fine Arts\, Houston (Houston\, TX)\, the Norton Museum of Art (West Palm Beach\, FL)\, the Portland Art Museum (Portland\, OR)\, the Seattle Art Museum (Seattle\, WA)\, the Tacoma Art Museum (Tacoma\, WA) and the Walker Art Center (Minneapolis\, MN). Among the artist’s awards and honors are the Betty Bowen Award from the Seattle Art Museum and the Contemporary Northwest Art Award from the Portland Art Museum in 2013. In 2016\, Minor Matters Books in Seattle published Isaac Layman Home Schooled a monograph on his work including an essay by Bob Nickas. \n

SUMMARY:In Gratitude at LightBox Photographic Gallery
DESCRIPTION:In Gratitude \nNovember 10 – December 5\, 2018\nArtists’ Opening Reception: Saturday\, November 10\, 5-8pm \nLightBox Photographic Gallery\n1045 Marine Dr.\nAstoria\, OR 97103\n(503) 468-0238\nlightbox-photographic.com \nLightBox Photographic Gallery host the artists’ opening reception for In Gratitude on Saturday\, November 10\,\, from 5-8 pm. In Gratitude was juried by Laura Valenti and shares photographic images with a positive outlook. \n“The Benedictine monk David Steindl-Rast reminds us that it’s not happiness that makes us grateful\, but gratitude that makes us happy. Can we invite more happiness into our lives by photographing the things we’re thankful for? I like to think so. I spent a very challenging season of my life focused on this practice. Making images of gratitude was a sacred\, healing touchpoint – a daily reminder that good still exists\, that there really is beauty in the world.” \n“As artists\, we have the privilege of being able to create the world we’d like to live in – at least in our images. What if we consciously created a world filled with love\, connection\, beauty\, and hope – a world where we celebrate the little things that bring us joy? What if we made images with the express intention to help others see beyond the horror in the news cycle and the stress of daily life? What if we considered our photography a gratitude practice?” ~ Laura Valenti \nLaura Valenti is the founder of Light Atlas Creative\, www.lightatlascreative.com\, an online platform for transformative photography education. She teaches interactive e-courses\, supports emerging photographers in her creative mentoring program\, speaks to photo groups and curates exhibitions for galleries and photo festivals around the world. At the core\, her work is about helping her students find their true voice as artists\, so they can make their most personal\, meaningful\, and wholehearted work. \nCongratulations to the photographers accepted into In Gratitude. \nAngela Douglas Ramsey • Sally Bowker • Jim Congleton\nNorma Cordova • Terry Donnelly • Gloria Baker Feinstein\nJoni Kabana • Sally Kim-Miller • Tone Elin Solholm\nKathleen Malan Thompson • Sam Blair • Peggy Taylor Reid\nStan Raucher • Thomas Robinson • Julie Moore\nMichelle Swanson • Terry Thompson • Charlotte Watts \nIn Gratitude will be on display in the gallery through December 5th.

SUMMARY:Harry B. Houchins at The O’Brien Photo Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Harry B. Houchins\, Oregon Aspects\, In the Antiquarian Avant-garde Manner \nThe show runs from November 10th through January 10th.\nAn reception for the artist will be held on Saturday\, November 10th from 3-6 pm. \nThe O’Brien Photo Gallery\n2833 Willamette\, Ste. B\nEugene\, OR 97405\n(541) 729-3572\nOpen weekdays\, call to be sure we’re open.\nwaltobrien1945@gmail.com\nhttp://obrienimaging.com/gallery.htm \nAntiquarian Avant-garde is a term coined in 2002 with the publication of a book of photographs\ndone in processes from the 19th century. Like me\, they enjoy the craft of making their own emulsions and\ncreating photographs that require time and technique to produce what becomes unique imagery.\nThe medium I’ve chosen for these particular works is platinum/palladium. \nThe platinum/palladium process produces a rich and extended range of tones in a print that is considered\nby some as the most archival and beautiful of all the photographic processes.\nI invite the viewer to make his or her own decision. \nHarry B. Houchins \n \n

SUMMARY:#2701 Jānis Miglavs at Camerawork Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Jānis Miglavs\, Five Fingers \nNovember 3rd – November 30th\, 2018\nArtist Talk\, Sunday\, November 4th\, 4PM-5PM (artist reception to follow to 6:30 PM) \nCamerawork Gallery\n301 N. Graham Street\, Portland\, OR 97227\nLocated in Lorenzen Conference Center – Legacy Emanuel Medical Center Campus.\n9am – 6pm\, Monday-Saturday\, Sunday\, 10am-4pm\nFree off street parking available\, Stair and elevator access\nwww.TheCameraworkGallery.org\nwww.Facebook.com/cameraworkgallery\n503-701-5347 \nPortland\, Oregon commercial photographer Jānis Miglavs notes\, “What started in 1999 as a disappointment at seeing one of my images on a billboard has evolved\, over time\, into the photographic illustrations included in the upcoming Camerawork Gallery exhibition as well as a book.” \nWanting to do more than just make money with his work\, Miglavs embarked on an 18-year journey to learn the stories\, myths and archetypal dreams from Africa’s most remote tribes. He had learned what Anthropologists and DNA tell us\, that we—all modern humans—are distant descendants of Sapiens who walked out of Africa some 60\,000 years go. \nSo he conjectured that these tribes might have distant threads to the primal stories the ancients told around the cooking fire before they left Africa. Could it be\, perhaps\, our modern religions and beliefs are evolutions of those ancient stories? \nAfter recording the stories\, Miglavs needed to take photos for his photographic illustrations. This often resulted in humorous situations. For example\, he would ask the Tribal Chief to lay on his bed so Miglavs could photograph him to use in a dream illustration. That would be like asking the Governor to fake like he was sleeping so Miglavs could photograph him for his project. One time\, Miglavs had to pay a Shaman a little extra—because the Shaman didn’t want people to think he was dead. Anthropologists tell Miglavs he is the only person to have recorded the stories he’s depicted in his photographic illustrations. \nMiglavs’ African adventures included a roaring lion walking by his tent one night\, crossing crocodile-filled rivers in a dugout log and when one interpreter said he would kill him if he even accidentally said anything derogatory about the Quran or Muhammad. \nOne of the most memorable experiences happened when Miglavs asked the elders of a remote tribe in Ethiopia what advice they would give world leaders. These tribal members were remote and many Westerners would even call them primitive. After a long silence\, one elder finally said\, “Tell them that we are all created by God. No matter what your tribe\, no matter what your religion\, we all bleed the same color blood.” Then he raised his hand\, with his fingers outstretched\, to conclude\, “We all have five fingers.” \nIn this age of anxiety and fear of the other\, fear of the other’s tribe\, ethnicity\, political group or religion\, Miglavs’ gallery show was totally inspired by that Konso elder’s insightful words: “We all have five fingers.” Miglavs hopes the exhibit will inspire viewers to examine their own beliefs from a different perspective—from the perspective of the Birthplace of Modern Humans. ABOUT THE ARTIST Jānis Miglavs was lucky to have been born. When the Communists invaded Latvia during World War 2\, they wanted to kill his father because he owned land. Fortunately\, his father escaped and fled with his wife—Jānis’ mom. Jānis was born in a displaced person’s camp. \nEventually\, Jānis and his family immigrated to the United States\, where he learned English starting the first day of school. After becoming a US citizen\, he graduated with a bachelor’s degree from the UC Berkeley\, and a Master’s degree in Fine Arts from California State University at Sacramento. \nHe taught high school art and photography for 10 years\, then spent a year teaching special education teachers all while doing wedding photography every weekend and most nights. After he got married\, his wife\, Eddi\, put her foot down. Choose one career. After a beer or two\, he chose photography. \nHe started in the editorial world working with local newspapers and magazines like National Geographic\, Outdoor Photographer and Travel and Leisure. When he had two young boys\, he quit traveling to become an advertising and commercial photographer. \nAlong the way\, he wrote\, photographed and created videos for a long list of winery clients and publications like Wine Spectator\, Wine Enthusiast\, Sommelier Journal\, Oregon Wine Press\, Outdoor Photographer and a variety of travel magazines. He wrote and photographed three wine-related books\, which won numerous awards\, including Gold medals and Best in the World. \nIn addition to this tasty winery work\, in 1999 Jānis started a major personal project in the Birthplace of Modern Humans. For this he traveled to and interviewed the elders\, shamans\, witchdoctors\, storytellers\, and chiefs of Africa’s most remote tribes about their myths and archetypal dreams. For all but one of the tribes\, he is the only person to have ever documented their oral stories—from which he creates interpretive photographic illustrations of the stories he heard. \nWhile the illustration work has been displayed on a limited basis\, including at the United Nations headquarters\, Jānis feels the time is right to get the work and message he learned in Africa out. \nwww.jmiglavs.com\nwww.FiveFingersProject.org \n

SUMMARY:Kristin Cole at Uncorked Studios
DESCRIPTION:Kristin Cole\, 45 Reasons Why \nOpening Reception | Nov. 2\, 2018 (by RSVP) 6:00 – 8:00 pm\nPublic Viewing | Nov. 3 – 4\, 2018 12:00 – 4:00 pm \nUncorked Studios\n811 SE Stark St. #300\, Portland OR 97214\n503-610-8052\nwww.uncorkedstudios.com \n“Seeking: Anyone willing to be photographed with an object of their choice that represents an idea\, belief\, value\, or right threatened under the current administration.” That was my call to the community recently asking for participants in this artivist (art + activism) project. The idea for this project was sparked on the day Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed to the Supreme Court. The anger I felt was not born from the shock of what happened\, but that I had already concluded it would happen. In that moment it seemed like there was no limit to the lows the Trump administration would go to carry out their agenda and drove home the fact that the mid-term election is really the only hope those of us who care for the human rights of all have at preventing another two-years of this kind of nonsense. We\, unfortunately\, spend each day cherry-picking the issues we are disgusted with\, whether it be separating families at the border\, climate change denial\, assault weapons\, access to health care\, reproductive rights\, or sexual assault\, to name a few. What I wanted to explore in this project was what happens when we put all the various concerns that people carry with them in one place at one time. My fear is that people have lost hope that anything can be done to stop this—that perhaps we are losing faith that our voices matter. When we spend too much time examining one issue at a time\, we lose sight of the bigger picture and the magnitude of what we all collectively stand to lose if we stop protesting. If we stop running for office. If we stop voting. I hope this exhibit shines a light that does not cast shadows and inspires people to use their one voice on 11.06.18 and beyond to help protect all of ours. \nwww.KristinColePhotography.com \n

SUMMARY:"In Transit" group show at Blue Sky Gallery
DESCRIPTION:In Transit \nA group exhibition featuring the works of\nGeorge Awde\, Daniel Castro Garcia\, Gohar Dashti\,\nTanya Habjouqa\, and Stefanie Zofia Schulz \nCurated by Peggy Sue Amison \nNovember 1–December 30\, 2018\nFirst Thursday opening reception: November 1\, 6:00–9:00 PM\n*Please note that the curator and artists will present about the work in early December.* \nIn Transit is a multidisciplinary exhibition that focuses on the tentative\, limbo-like experience of living between different cultures. The exhibition explores the stories of immigrants who traverse the no-man’s land that exists between home and hope. \nThe lives of those fleeing from unsafe\, economically depressed homelands towards dreams of a more secure future are filled with boredom\, sadness\, fear\, and apathy. They experience the deep absence of the loss of loved ones\, familiar places\, and citizenship. The photography and video works in this exhibition are created in Germany\, Jordan\, Lebanon\, Italy\, and Iran\, and are testimonies to day-to-day survival alongside the struggle to find a sense of normalcy and stability and a place to call home. \nUtilizing photography\, performance and filmmaking\, each body of work examines the experiences of those thrust into a culture that is markedly different from their own. These stories illustrate the physical and psychological challenges faced\, while additionally looking at the deeper discussion of what constitutes citizenship in the wake of the enormous migrations into Europe. Through their narratives\, the artists strive to disrupt accepted misconceptions about immigration and otherness in order to tell a more accurate story. By collaborating with their subjects they give voice to those who must endure mountains of dead time while tangled up in bureaucracy in order to become more than merely ‘registered aliens.’ \nAbout the Artists and Curator \nTanya Habjouqa (JO) is an award-winning photographer\, journalist and educator. Her practice links social documentary\, collaborative portraiture\, and participant observation. Her principal interests include gender\, representations of otherness\, dispossession and human rights\, with a particular concern for the ever-shifting sociopolitical dynamics in the Middle East. Habjouqa’s work has been exhibited worldwide and is in the collections of MFA Boston\, Institut du Monde Arab\, and the Carnegie Museum of Art. She is a founding member of Rawiya\, the first all-female photography collective from the Middle East. She is also one of four mentors for the Arab Documentary Photography Program\, organized by Magnum Foundation\, Prince Claus Foundation\, and AFAC. She is a member of the Noor Agency and represented by East Wing Gallery. Habjouqa lives with her family in East Jerusalem. \nGohar Dashti (IR) received her M.A. in Photography from the Fine Art University of Tehran in 2005. After studying photography in Iran\, she has spent the last thirteen years focusing her practice on social issues with particular references to history and culture through a convergence of interests in anthropology and sociology. Her practice continuously develops from life events and connection between the personal and the universal\, the political and the fantasized. Her work has been exhibited around the world and is in collections including the Victoria & Albert Museum (UK)\, Mori Art Museum\, Tokyo (JP)\, Museum of Fine Arts Boston (USA)\, Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art Kansas City (USA)\, National Gallery of Art\, Washington D.C. (USA)\, Museum of Contemporary Photography (MoCP)\, Chicago (USA)\, and Kadist Art Foundation\, Paris (FR). Dashti presently lives with her family between Iran and the United States. \nGeorge Awde (USA/LB) was born in Boston of Lebanese origin. Drawn to alternative narratives\, his work delves into issues surrounding citizenship\, nationality and sexuality\, focusing on people living on the margins of the city and their parallel realities between life in Beirut and elsewhere. He graduated with an MFA in Photography from Yale University in 2009 and holds a BA in painting from Massachusetts College of the Arts\, Boston. Awde presently lives between Doha\, Qatar; Beirut\, Lebanon; and Cairo\, Egypt. He is represented by East Wing Gallery and teaches at Virginia Commonwealth University in Doha\, Qatar\, and is also co-founder and co-director of marra.tein residency program in Beirut. \nDaniel Castro Garcia (UK) was born and raised in Oxford\, England\, by parents who emigrated from Spain’s Galicia region seeking economic opportunities. As the son of immigrants himself\, Castro Garcia wanted to use his work as a photographer and filmmaker to help migrants/refugees have their voices heard. Since May 2015\, he has revisited many of Europe’s refugee/ migrant hotspots. The book\, Foreigner: Migration into Europe 2015 – 2016 was self published in 2016\, with graphic designer Thomas Saxby and producer Jade Morris. In 2017 Castro Garcia received the British Journal of Photography’s International Photography Award and selected as a grantee by the Magnum Foundation Fund. He was also awarded the 2017 W. Eugene Smith Grant in Humanistic Photography. Castro Garcia is represented by East Wing Gallery. He is lives and works in Sicily. \nStefanie Zofia Schulz (DE) was born in Germany and is a graduate of the Ostkreuzschule in Berlin. Her photographic practice focuses on the documentation of important social issues and the human condition. Her work has been exhibited in Festival Circulations (FR) in 2016 and has been published in i-D Magazine\, Emerge magazine and Dazed digital. She presently lives and works in Berlin\, Germany. \nPeggy Sue Amison (US/IE) is Artistic Director for East Wing\, a platform for photography founded in Doha\, Qatar. As a curator\, strategist\, mentor\, photographic consultant and writer\, Amison has collaborated with numerous emerging and established photographers\, festivals and publications internationally in Europe\, China\, the United States\, and the United Arab Emirites.

Adrian Klein\, one of the photographers says\, “As a group\, we share a passion for atmosphere\, searching it out and capturing it in the landscape. of our art. In our landscape photography\, atmosphere alludes to the pervading tone or mood of a place\, a view or an environment\, and is often the defining element and key ingredient. Recognizing and recording compelling atmosphere at the precise moment is often the difference between ordinary and transcendent.” \nThe exhibit’s fourteen captivating photographs are printed on aluminum sheets providing depth perception\, brilliance\, and penetrating views mostly of mountain scenes and landscapes in the Northwest. The images enfold the viewers into their atmospheres. \nPhoto Cascadia \n

SUMMARY:ODD at LightBox Photographic Gallery
DESCRIPTION:ODD \nOctober 13th – November 7th\, 2018\nArtists’ Opening Reception: Saturday\, October 13th\, 5-8pm \nLightBox Photographic Gallery\n1045 Marine Dr.\nAstoria\, OR 97103\n(503) 468-0238\nlightbox-photographic.com \nLightBox Photographic Gallery will host the artists’ opening reception for ODD on Saturday\, October 13th from 5-8 pm. The exhibit shares photographic images that deviate from the normal—either in subject or in method—that are mismatched\, individualistic\, outside the box\, and peculiar. Photographs that simultaneously challenge and excite. Images that dare viewers to think and see in unexpected ways. The Exhibit was juried by Russell Joslin. \nRussell Joslin is a celebrated editor and publisher. For 17 years (2000-2017)\, he was the Owner\, Editor & Publisher of the internationally acclaimed photography journal SHOTS. In 2018\, he founded a new photography and art book publishing company\, Skeleton Key Press. He lives and works in Oslo\, Norway. \n“I’m pleased to present the exhibition Odd—a peculiar selection of images that fascinate with their expressions of off-center ideas and psychological concepts while capturing both staged and unexpected moments. A compelling variety of photographic techniques and processes were utilized to create these images (including wet-plate\, pinhole\, gelatin silver\, cyanotype\, Polaroid\, double-exposure\, mixed-media\, film\, and digital) and to assist in expressing each artist’s ideas that challenge convention and endeavor to enlighten the shadowy corners of their viewers’ psyches.” ~ Russell Joslin \nCongratulations to the Photographers of ODD \nAllan Barnes • Ronald Butler • Norma Cordova\nDana Day • Joseph Deiss • Mark Dierker\nGene Dominique • Diane Fenster • Nickolas Hurlbut\nKerry Jeffrey • Leighton McWilliams • Jody Miller\nChris Minnick • Julie Moore • Patrick Neary\nTone Elin Solholm • Tom Van de Ven • Dianne Yudelson \nODD will be on display in the gallery through November 7.

SUMMARY:Kurt Norlin\, Matt Reese and Eric French; Bending Light: Mood/Magic/Metaphor
DESCRIPTION:Kurt Norlin\, Matt Reese and Eric French; Bending Light: Mood/Magic/Metaphor \nSept. 24 – Nov. 15\, 2018\nReception and Gallery Talk: Wednesday\, Oct. 10 from 11am to noon in the gallery\nSouth Santiam Hall Gallery\nLinn-Benton Community College\n6500 Pacific Blvd SW\nAlbany\, OR 97330\n541-917-4999\nWeekdays\, 8 am – 5 pm\nartgallery@linnbenton.edu \nAn exhibit by three Oregon photographers who use their lenses in unusual ways will be on view Sept. 24 through Nov. 15 in the South Santam Hall Gallery at Linn-Benton Community College\, 6500 Pacific Blvd. SW\, Albany. \n“Bending Light: Mood/Magic/Metaphor” features the work of Eric French of Corvallis\, Matt Reese of Eugene and Kurt Norlin of Albany. \nA reception and gallery talk will be held Wednesday Oct. 10 from 11 a.m. to noon in the gallery. \nFrench creates moody “noir” photographs with his custom-built “camera obscura\,” which he says “bends the light in a way different than ordinary lenses\, creating gently modified images” that reveal elements of nostalgia and mystery. “With my imagery\, I aspire to bring about glimpses of melancholy\, serenity\, sentiment and memory\,” says French. \n“Magic” is the word Reese uses to describe the results he gets from repurposing old lenses and adapting them to his otherwise ordinary digital camera. His colorful selective-focus closeups of plants have been exhibited previously in Eugene galleries\, but never shown in the mid-valley before. “Any subject is fair game\,” he says\, “but most of the time I find myself drawn into the hidden natural world\, peering with my glass eyes at scenes of beauty and drama usually overlooked.” \nNorlin describes his photography as “part science\, part art and part ritual.” His abstract color images are created by employing “intentional camera movement” (ICM) with a pinhole lens on a digital camera. “This method allows me to literally draw with light and has led more and more to dealing with things that lay outside the frame\,” Norlin explains. “Dreams\, visions\, memories and metaphors have become the subject matter of my art.” \nThe South Santiam Hall Gallery is open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. \n

SUMMARY:Tamera Staples at Blue Sky Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Tamera Staples\, Side Effects May Include \nOctober 4–28\, 2018\nFirst Thursday opening reception: October 4\, 6:00–9:00 PM \nPanel discussion on mental health and polypharmacy\nin conjunction with Side Effects May Include:\nSaturday\, October 6\, 3:00 PM \nBlue Sky Gallery\n122 NW 8th Avenue\nPortland\, Oregon 97209 USA\n503-225-0210\nTuesday – Sunday\, 12 – 5 pm\nFirst Thursday 6 – 9 pm\nbluesky@blueskygallery.org\nhttp://www.blueskygallery.org/ \nSide Effects May Include is a photo-based installation by Tamara Staples that focuses on the relationship between mental health and poly-pharmacy\, or the simultaneous use of multiple drugs by a single patient. The project was inspired by the artist’s sister\, who took her life with a cocktail of pharmaceuticals after living with bipolar disorder for many years. Following her death\, Staples collected the contents of her sister’s medicine cabinet\, sorted the thousands of pills\, arranged them in patterns\, and photographed them. She then translated the photos into wallpaper\, a quilt\, upholstery\, dresses\, and drapes to create an entire room covered in pill-based patterns. This deceptively alluring and decorative display immerses the viewer in a cacophony of images\, echoing the tremendous scope of the poly-pharmacy epidemic in the United States today. \nIn conjunction with Side Effects May Include\, Blue Sky will host a panel discussion about mental health and poly-pharmacy on Saturday\, October 6th at 3PM. The panel will include mental health practitioners and individuals with lived experience including Gina Nikkel\, PhD\, President & CEO of the Foundation for Excellence in Mental Health Care\, John Herold\, Director of Puget Sound Hearing Voices\, staff from Mental Health America of Oregon\, exhibition artist Tamara Staples\, and others. \nTamara Staples is an artist living and working in Brooklyn\, New York. After she received her BFA in Photography from the University of Florida in Gainesville\, she began her career as a prop stylist for print and television. Now a commercial and fine art photographer\, her work has appeared in numerous publications including Harper’s Magazine\, New York Times\, Chicago Tribune Magazine\, Food and Wine\, Town and Country\, Utne Reader and Bloomberg Business Magazine. Her work has been also featured on This American Life\, CNN\, Slate Magazine and NPR’s Animal House. Staples has exhibited at Davis Orton Gallery in Hudson\, NY; Purdue University Galleries in Lafayette\, Indiana; Georgia Museum of Art in Athens\, Ga; Ricco Maresca Gallery in New York City; Museum of Modern Art in Baltimore\, MD; Aron Packer Gallery in Chicago\, Il; and Lightworks Gallery in Charlotte\, NC. Staples is the recipient of a NYFA Grant\, a PDN self promotion award\, the 2014 Bronze award from the Royal Photographic Society\, and has completed a Rauschenberg Residency. This is her second solo show at Blue Sky. \n

SUMMARY:Tommy Kha at Blue Sky Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Tommy Kha\, I’m Only Here to Leave \nOctober 4–28\, 2018 \nFirst Thursday opening reception: October 4\, 6:00–9:00 PM\nArtist talk with Tommy Kha: Thursday\, October 4\, 6:00 PM \nBlue Sky Gallery\n122 NW 8th Avenue\nPortland\, Oregon 97209 USA\n503-225-0210\nTuesday – Sunday\, 12 – 5 pm\nFirst Thursday 6 – 9 pm\nbluesky@blueskygallery.org\nhttp://www.blueskygallery.org/ \n  \n“Through the framework of the self-portrait\, I constantly navigate between self and otherness in my photography. Themes of likeness and representation are at the forefront of my picture making. I shift between comedy and tragedy\, familiarity and foreignness\, performer and camera operator.” \nIn I’m Only Here to Leave\, Tommy Kha amplifies the performative and iterative nature of self-representation through his uncanny photographs and video installation that creatively engage others and his surroundings. The artist re-photographs cardboard cutouts of himself in various environments and creates “masks” of his own likeness to cover the faces of the people he photographs. Kha’s self-portraits\, which tend to look like simple collages or crude Photoshop manipulations\, draw attention to the fact that something—the artist’s body—is out of place. He notes that by superimposing his face onto those who embody the things he desires to emphasize about himself\, he is attempting to become “more queer\, more Asian\, more Southern.” \nTommy Kha is a photographer based between Brooklyn\, New York and his hometown of Memphis\, Tennessee. He holds an MFA in Photography from Yale University and he is a recipient of a 2017 En Foco Photography Fellowship. Kha also received the Jessie and Dolph Smith Emeritus Award and was named a Magenta Foundation Flash Forward emerging photographer. He has been the artist-in-residence at the Center for Photography at Woodstock\, Light Work\, Fountainhead\, and Baxter Street at the Camera Club of New York. In December 2015 Kha published his first monograph\, A Real Imitation\, through Aint-Bad and his work was featured on the cover of Vice Magazine’s 2017 Photography Issue. He occasionally performs\, writes\, and appears in some films\, including Laurie Simmons’ feature\, My Art.

SUMMARY:Austin Granger at Camerawork Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Austin Granger\, A Beautiful Sadness \nSeptember 29th – November 2nd\, 2018\nArtist Talk: Saturday\, September 29th 3 – 4 PM\nArtist Reception: Saturday\, September 29th 4 – 6 PM \nCamerawork Gallery\n301 N. Graham Street\, Portland\, OR 97227\nLocated in Lorenzen Conference Center – Legacy Emanuel Medical Center Campus.\n9am – 6pm\, Monday-Saturday\, Sunday\, 10am-4pm\nFree off street parking available\, Stair and elevator access\nwww.TheCameraworkGallery.org\nwww.Facebook.com/cameraworkgallery\n503-701-5347 \nA reviewer once described Austin Granger’s photographs as possessing a “beautiful sadness”–a description which makes him happy. “I want my pictures to make people feel\,” Granger says\, “I want them to express\, through the things of the world\, universal human conditions. I want to meet my viewer in the middle. What’s it all for\, if not that? “The subject matter in this exhibit is wide-ranging\, but the pictures are all of one piece\,” notes Granger. “They are all about more than what they show. At least\, that’s the way I think of it. I’m interested in whether or not a subject can carry the weight of an emotion or an idea\, even if on the surface that subject is not explicitly related to that emotion or idea. I want to make pictures that correspond with the viewer’s interior world—pictures that resonate. I want to make mirrors. I want to bridge the gap and make a connection. Is such a thing possible? I’ve thought about it a lot\, and my answer is… sometimes. People bring their minds to their looking at things. I expect the best I can do is to follow my inner compass\, and photograph the things that make me feel\, in as clear a way as I can\, and hope that the viewer will feel then too. “I don’t really know what it is I’m looking for when I’m photographing\, but I know it when I see it. When I’m photographing well\, I have the uncanny sense that the pictures were already there\, just waiting for me. They feel pre-destined. I quiet myself and they appear. Photography for me is passive like that. I put up my antennae and wait. I recognize pictures right away. I recognize how they feel. When it’s going well\, I don’t have any doubt about either the subject or how it should look. I recognize my pictures. I know them. They’re like the pieces of a puzzle. I may not know quite what the puzzle is of\, but I know which pieces belong to it. Good pictures feel charged. They feel significant. They have a certain ache. And yes\, admittedly\, sometimes they have a certain sadness. “I’d like to say though\, even though my pictures might look sad\, I am seldom happier than when I’m making them. And I’d like to think they might make someone else happy too—in the way that listening to sad music can lift our spirits. \n“See\, I’m a blues photographer!” \nAustin Granger is the author of the acclaimed book\, Elegy from the Edge of a Continent: Photographing Point Reyes. His pictures have been exhibited in a number of West Coast galleries\, including LightBox Photographic Gallery in Astoria\, the CAC Gallery in Santa Rosa\, and the Viewpoint Photographic Art Center in Sacramento\, and have been featured in magazines such as B&W\, Looking Glass\, Manifest\, and the West Marin Review. His work has graced album covers\, a book cover\, and Nike basketball shirts. \nBorn in San Francisco in 1970\, Granger has worked as a baker\, house painter\, naval radar operator\, and camera salesman. He first began to photograph while studying philosophy in college as a way to get out of his head. Preferring to use traditional film cameras\, Granger has come to see his photography as a spiritual practice–a way in which to shape his life and enrich his relationship with the world. \nwww.AustinGranger.com

SUMMARY:Leslie Peltz at Washington County Museum
DESCRIPTION:Leslie Peltz\, Silos of Washington County Photographs \nSeptember 27\, 2018 – May\, 2019\nOpening Reception\, Thursday September 27\, 2018 6-8 pm \nWashington County Museum\nPortland Community College Rock Creek Campus\n17677 NW Springville Rd. Portland\, OR 97229\n503-645-5353\nOpen Wednesday through Saturday 10 am-3 pm \nMolly Alloy\, Community Engagement Coordinator and Guest Curator\nmolly@washingtoncountymuseum.org\nhttp://www.washingtoncountymuseum.org \nPhotographs by Leslie Peltz of silos used for grain\, seed and silage storage in Washington County are part of the new exhibit\, AgriCulture: Shaping Land and Lives in the Tualatin Valley. Her pensive black and white images invite the viewer into quiet moments she has encountered in her outings across Washington County to document silos with a Holga camera. \nVisitors to this dynamic\, colorful exhibit will be able to touch\, hear\, see and learn about agriculture and the many ways it impacts our communities. Since time immemorial people in the Tualatin Valley have used their labor and technology to maximize the amount of nourishing food and valuable plant products that grow in this fertile area. Those efforts have re-formed human habits and social structures as well as the physical landscape. This interactive exhibit centers on eight oral histories drawn from the museum’s archive housed within Pacific University’s digital exhibits. These individuals\, some historic and some contemporary\, speak to the field of agriculture through their personal experiences and the experiences of their families and ancestors. Together they become a dialogue across time\, culture and technology that highlights many facets of agriculture’s impact on us all. \nAlong with photography\, video\, illustration\, and an interactive drawing station\, historic objects from the museum’s collection will be featured throughout the exhibit so that visitors can experience first-hand some of the tools that have helped shape the land around them.
