The Portland Grid Project began twenty-four years ago when Chris Rauschenberg took a pair of scissors to a map of Portland and cut it into 98 pieces. He invited twelve Portland photographers using a variety of cameras, films, formats, and digital processes, to photograph the randomly selected square each month. Currently in the midst round three, twelve different photographers are continuing to explore the changing face of Portland
Please join Chris Rauschenberg and photographers Larry Cwik, Lisa Gidley, Sarah Graves, Gary Gummanow, George Kelly, Ann Kendellen, Missy Prince, Faulkner Short, and others who have participated in the grid project over the years in a conversation about the Portland Grid Project and their participation in it.
The Portland Grid Project, 3rd Round Participants, continues at Gallery 114 until March 2, 2019.

Wolff Gallery is pleased to present a group show featuring new work by the members of Small Talk, a collective of seven women photographers based in Portland, Oregon.
“As a collective, we have the honor of witnessing and discussing the progression of our individual works. We find ourselves traveling along parallel paths, drawn to new directions and processes. We discover common ground in similar themes, investigating dark corners and intimate places. Here, our realities, our unverified stories, come together for a time before continuing onward. We present selections of new work from each member curated to tell a temporary fiction of rumor and truth.”
Small Talk is a photography collective comprised of seven women: Audra Osborne, Briana Cerezo, Jennifer Timmer Trail, Kelli Pennington, Kristina Hruska, Leslie Hickey, and Marico Fayre. The collective formed in Portland, Oregon in 2015.
As a group, we explore the nature of what it means to be a visual storyteller, pool resources, provide support and critique, and facilitate community events and discussions. We engage in the best kind of “small talk,” that which binds us together both as a collective and within a larger community of women and minority artists, fostering stronger work and collaboration. Our first book, We’re Always Touching by Underground Wires, was published in April 2018.

Bernard C. Meyers notes, “I want to rattle the bones of a building, shake common perceptions of concrete reality. I want the temporal elements shifting between both the original architecture and my imagination. For me the higher ground of art has always been occupied by the unexplainable, the abstract. “I see architecture as possibilities, as material to mold and shape. My intent is to uncover uncommon collisions of color and form, to exemplify texture and the rearrangement of line. I am building and deconstructing simultaneously. I want the original geometric intentions of the structure to find new life. I want these elements to discover a new context, a world off kilter, where conventional space is fraught; as if caught between like ends of magnets. “Committed to lens-based capture I ask myself this question, “What is visually possible with new cutting-edge technologies, software and how can I apply it to my work?” Within that question this project was born. From a background as an architectural view camera photographer I have found a visual language between the structural impossibilities of M.C. Escher and the complex color spaces of Richard Diebencorn. The world of abstract expressionism has new chapter being written with the tools and techniques of the twenty-first century. “I am celebrating the latent beauty possible with the building blocks of 2D design, color and the technology available in 2019. The distinctions between painting, printmaking and photography for me have become irrelevant as all disciplines merge in these images. I love the work, it both intrigues and surprises me. The reward lies in creating what I have never seen before. Throughout my career as an artist my guiding premise, from Minor White, has always been, photograph something not for what it is but for what it can become.” To preview examples of Meyer’s Urban Abstracts exhibit, Click here.
Bernard C. Meyers is recognized internationally as an artist and master printer. His work is held in public, private, and corporate collections nationwide. He is represented by the Klotz Gallery in New York. Portfolios can be seen at www.klotzgallery.com/bernardmeyers. His pursuit of beauty and the abstract has been an unwavering life-long passion.
Bernard earned an MFA in traditional printmaking, etching and lithography and a BFA in photography as a fine art from the Rochester Institute of Technology. In the eighties he founded and managed a fine art printing business, Portland Photographics specializing in portfolio and an exhibition photographic printing. This rapidly became one of the finest photographic printing facilities drawing clients from Magnum, National Geographic, ICP and photographers from around the world. From 1990 through 2010 his photographic studio specialized in architectural photography and art reproduction.
Bernard has taught photography at the University of New England and the University of Southern Maine, Rochester Institute of Technology and the Maine Workshops and currently at the Waterford School in Sandy. Throughout all of this time he has continued to exhibit work. Klotz gallery has featured his work at the last three AIPAD shows. His exhibition history includes numerous group and solo shows. In 2017 early Urban Abstracts work was a solo show of large prints exhibited at the Rochester Institute of Technology University Gallery.

Spencer is a queer photographer and a writer living in Portland; they identify as a non-binary femme (they/them pronouns), graduated from PSU, and are currently working in the service industry fulltime and making art when they can. They have been taking photos since they were 17, but it wasn’t until purchasing a Yashicamat 124g five years ago that their approach to photography changed.
Most of the presented works have been captured using an Olympus XA and a Hasselblad 500c. Their work is a mixture of landscapes and portraiture from their portfolio; the collection on display has been taken over the course of the last 3 years varying from travels through abandoned factories in Leipzig to intentional styling of a set. Most of their work revolves around explorations of queerness and identity. Spencer’s portraits originally started during a darkroom class at PSU in fall 2014, interpreting themes of existence and isolation as a queer and trans person in a society that – at a federal level – is working to erase trans identities.
These works are but the start of something bigger.

“My mother, my sister, and I perform for each other, for the camera, and ultimately for you. We impersonate each other and ourselves, emulating imagery that taught us to be beautiful.”
Natalie Krick’s series Natural Deceptions is a playful, performative exploration of identity in relation to cultural expectations of feminine beauty and sexuality. Made in collaboration with her mother and sister, Krick employs the visual languages of fashion photography and celebrity portraiture. However, the visual complexity of her multilayered, vibrant portraits reveals a decidedly female gaze behind the camera, one that eschews hypersexualization or idealization of the female body. Instead, Krick reveals photography’s role in the creation of these optical illusions within popular culture.
Natalie Krick (b. 1986 in Portland, Oregon) currently lives in Seattle, Washington. She received her BFA in photography from the School of Visual Arts in 2008 and her MFA in photography from Columbia College Chicago in 2012. She has recently exhibited at SOIL Gallery in Seattle; Webber Represents in London; Aperture Gallery in New York; and Weinberg/Newton Gallery in Chicago. In 2015 she received an Individual Photographer’s Fellowship from the Aaron Siskind Foundation and in 2017 she received the Aperture Portfolio Prize for Natural Deceptions.

“My photographs are typically the result of an enthusiastic hike in search of unique glimpses of nature. I enjoy the entire process of planning an outing, observing the weather, light, and composition of the subject.The actual “taking” of a photograph affects me. Often my heart will race, giving me immediate feedback that the image is original and worthwhile. The photographic process is a journey of the translation of light on the camera sensor to a print that sparks in me the original aesthetic and emotional response. Whether the result is an image of a landscape, water in all its forms, or rock strata, I seek meaning in a beautiful “snapshot” of color, time and space.
As noted by Emerson, ‘meaning in life may be better grounded in nature than American politics, religion, or literature.’ I am amazed at the complexities of natural cycles such as the erosion of rock and the formation of new sandstone, or the emergence and inevitable disintegration of all life. My photographs open a small window into a feeling of wonder, and of mysterious permanence, overlying the cycles of nature.”

We do ask for a gallery hanging fee from those photographers accepted into the exhibit to help contribute to the expenses of this yearly exhibit.
This Exhibit recognizes the Photographers of the Pacific NorthWest by showcasing their work together. The exhibit combines work from emerging photographers with that of established and known photographers from the Region, we encourage submissions from all. One image each of 40 photographers will be chosen, images which stand out above the crowd and uniquely exhibit the vision and creativity of the photographer.

“Photography is for me a kind of meditation that widens my perception of the existing and evolving world around us. I seek refuge and simplicity in my photographs and find a personal resolution and fulfillment that I sincerely hope others experience as well.” -Jeffrey Conley
Jeffrey Conley is a fine art landscape photographer well known for his meticulously crafted monochromatic prints using traditional darkroom processes of gelatin silver and hand-coated platinum palladium. Conley’s work has been internationally exhibited and is included in museum collections worldwide.Through his photography, Conley strives for a balanced simplicity that evokes a sense of wonder and reverence for the natural world. Scale and palette vary, from small, intimate and subtle, to large, grand and dramatic. In all, he seeks to capture a meditative spirit that is unique in his approach to landscape photography. In the end, he painstakingly strives to create beautifully luminous individually crafted prints.

Noah Addis, Future Cities2018 Critical Mass Solo Show Awardpresented in collaboration with Photolucida
April 4–28, 2019 First Thursday opening reception: April 4, 6:00–9:00 PMArtist talk: Thursday, April 4, 5:00 PM
In Future Cities, Noah Addis explores informal communities throughout the world in which people must survive outside of the official economy. Addis’ goal is to challenge the ingrained perception of “chaos and disorder” that many people have when thinking of informal housing settlements.
He writes, “I have focused on the landscape and architecture of these homes and communities in order to show the creativity and resilience of the people who created them. The efficiency and the adaptive nature of these self-built communities makes them worthy of attention in order to see what can be learned from them about urban planning and sustainable development.”
Future Cities is the recipient of the 2018 Critical Mass Solo Show Award presented in collaboration with Photolucida.

PhotoZone has not not had a gallery to show work for a number of years. New Zone has a temporary gallery in downtown and has invited us to participate for the second month in a row.
PhotoZone is a collection of diverse individuals interested in the art and craft of photography. The group’s goal is to provide members a chance to increase their knowledge and appreciation of photography while also providing numerous opportunities to advance their technical and artistic skills in a friendly and supportive environment.
A wide variety of photographic styles, methods and interests are found within the membership. From the latest digital techniques to old school methods, from view cameras to smart phones, PhotoZone welcomes them all.
PhotoZone currently has approximately 40 members. New members are welcomed after work is juried by current members.
Some background info:
In 1988 a group of 18 photographers opened an exhibit in the old Midgley building on High St. in Eugene Oregon and the PhotoZone Gallery was born. Regarding the group’s purpose, a member wrote: “The primary requirement for membership is a dedication to photography as an expressive medium”. Over a quarter century and 100+ exhibits later, PhotoZone continues to provide a venue for fine art photography in Eugene. The group continues to exhibit in various locations and sponsors a juried show every July which is open only to non-members. Many photographic artists receive their first public exposure by entering PhotoZone’s annual juried show.

Corvallis photographer Rich Bergeman’s black-and-white photographs chronicle the disappearing traces of frontier days on Columbia Plateau and Northern Great Basin–deserted homesteads, abandoned schoolhouses, ghost town and other remnants of early attempts by Euro-Americans to settle the Northwest.
The photographer has spent much of the past two decades creating art out of forgotten histories in Oregon and Washington, focusing particularly on the far-flung eastern parts of both states. The CCA exhibit includes images of old towns, historic ranches and deserted homesteads from the High Desert and mountain mining areas of eastern Oregon, as well as the Okanogan and Palouse regions of Washington. Such formerly prosperous turn-of-the-century Oregon towns as Flora, Antelope and Granite are represented, as well as Goodnoe Hills and Molson in Washington, among others.
An exhibiting fine-art photographer for nearly 30 years, Bergeman retired from teaching photography and journalism at Linn-Benton Community College in Albany in 2007, and since then has been working full-time on his photography projects. In recent years he has created books and exhibits on the homestead land rush in Central Oregon, the life of Washington pioneer James Swan on Willapa Bay, the human history of Oregon’s Coast Range rivers, and the landscapes of the Rogue River Wars in Southern Oregon. Examples of his photographs can be seen at richbergeman.zenfolio.com, and at blurb.com.

In this exhibit Chipman employs gold leaf in her photography to explore the concepts of longing for something that is gone. The Welsh have a word for it, “Hireath”. It is about the yearning and longing for someone or someplace that you can never experience again.
Chipman visited Santa Rosa California 6 months after the Tubbs fire and Paradise California 4 months after the Camp fire, both fires decimated whole neighborhoods, she photographed was was left. Juxtaposing that with gilded images of childhood and childhood artifacts she builds upon this theme of grief or sadness for who or what you have lost, losses which make your “home” someplace you can never return to.
www.pamelachipman.com
As an artist, Pamela Chipman produces work that explores personal identity through a variety of portals. She studied video and photography at UCLA. In the late 1980’s she moved to Portland and co-created the Blue Gallery, an innovative gallery and performance space designed as a place to present challenging art. Chipman’s work has screened across the country in galleries and on community television channels, and is held in private collections.
Her current work in photography and video explores personal identity through the dialogue of artifacts and language. Chipman’s work revolves around ordinary people performing ordinary tasks, emphasizing their movements, their space, their quiet, their noise, their relationship to the air around them, and the influences on their lives. Working in a non-liner fashion, she explores her subjects’ relationships to the past, and creates a visual space for her subjects and their reflections to inhabit. Starting with simple memories and stories she reveals their power as tributes to the personal courage and introspective depth of her subjects.
Throughout Chipman’s career she has explored the potentials of the video medium through a wide variety of project, ranging from video-poetry, live television, game- shows, installations, and documentary projects. Through all of this work she has focused on video and photography as tools for reaching a broad artistic audience, and for building community. She continues to explore new methods of integrating media into our visual world through installations and video books, and public art.

Garden StudiesThe past few years have been tumultuous by anyone’s accounting. Fires and tsunamis and insane leaders of the world give me a distinct feeling of the world being out of control. Perhaps it is my art work that grounds me, that gives me at least an illusion of being in control, if only on the 8.5”x11.7” scanner glass on which I compose my still life photographs.
I make high resolution images of things I gather in nature, from intensely dense urban floral gardens to experimental vegetable breeding gardens. This year was the first where I made photographs from the mobile studio that my partner made from a 1952 vintage trailer, marking freedom from the tether of my usual home studio. Some of these photographs have come from that experience. All are a continuation of a large ongoing body of work called “A Year in the Willamette Valley”, a reference to place and time. Obviously inspired by 16th and 17th century European floral painters, as well as the natural/fake large scale dioramas in natural history museums, I’m mostly interested in making beautiful compositions. The scanner, as my photographic tool of choice, reveals extraordinary details far beyond the ability of my unaided eyes. My obsession is paying attention to phenomenal and ephemeral events in gardens throughout the year and making images with them in real time.This opportunity to show at Imogen Gallery coincided with my having access to a large printer. I’ve always made my work to a very high resolution with large scale in mind, and I sit for hours in front of my computer prepping the images so that they can be printed this large. But only rarely have I seen my work in its physical self this big, and it’s exciting for me to see these massive unwieldy paper objects crowded into this tiny space.This fall I’ll get to see the work even larger…I won a juried competition to have my images printed on vinyl to wrap the Palos Verdes Art Center in Rancho Palos Verdes, California. Yep, the whole building exterior. Watch this space for details!

This group exhibit opens with an artists’ reception on Saturday, April 13th, from 5-8 pm.
In recognition of Portland Photo Month, April 2019, this group exhibit celebrates the photographic talent of the Pacific Northwest. For the last 7 years the exhibit celebrated the Portland Photographic Community combining great work from the Portland community. This year, we have opened the Exhibit to the entire Pacific NorthWest for the PNW 40. The exhibit combines work from emerging photographers with that of established and known photographers from the Region. One image each from 40 photographers have been chosen, images which stand out and uniquely exhibit the vision and creativity of the photographer.

In “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.
Part 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.

An old school Portland photographer, Angel O’Brien started out back in 1994 lugging her Cambo 5×7 around the city shooting its historic buildings. 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.
Angel 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.

Heidi Kirkpatrick is a fine art photographer and educator based in Portland, Oregon.
Throughout Kirkpatrick’s career her work has explored the female figure, family narratives and contemporary issues of being a woman. Kirkpatrick combines film positives with found objects such as vintage children’s blocks, books, mahjong tiles, and tins, to create intimate photo-based objects that explore themes of family, history, love and loss. During the Oregon summers, Heidi makes cyanotypes in her backyard studio that address similar issues. Kirkpatrick creates unique cyanotype works with vintage clothing and linens using personal possessions and specimens from her garden.
Kirkpatrick has exhibited widely over the last twenty years and her work is held in numerous private and public collections including The Fox Talbot Museum, Wiltshire, United Kingdom; The Harry Ransom Center, Austin, Texas; Portland Art Museum, Portland, Oregon; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Texas; Springfield Museum of Art, Springfield, Ohio; The Ogden Museum of Southern Art, New Orleans, Louisiana; Denver Art Museum, Denver, Colorado; OHSU Corporate Collection, Portland, Oregon. Heidi was selected for the Photolucida Critical Mass Top 50 in 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014, and was recognized with the solo show award in 2012.
