Each artist will lecture for 60 minutes and answer questions. \nFriday April 20 \n4:30pm – Katharine T Jacobs \nKatharine T Jacobs is a graduate of Oregon College of Art and Craft. Originally from the rural foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Katharine began her education at California College of the Arts in Oakland\, California. There she learned to shoot with a large format camera and discovered Polaroid type 55 film. In 2007 she moved to Portland\, purchased her own 4×5 camera and started photographing friends\, family and countless strangers. Her focus in street photography and large format shooting would inspire her journey across the United States and the production of her largest body of work to date; American Strangers. \nKatharine continues to use portraiture as a main focus in her work. In junction with multiple exposures and mixed media she uses the photograph as a vehicle and a reference point that empowers the viewer to interact with objects and items they may not have. Katharine Jacobs lives and works in Portland\, Oregon and is inspired by her family and the nature of the Pacific Northwest. \n6:00pm – Blue Mitchell \nBlue Mitchell is an independent publisher\, curator\, educator\, and photographer. Based in Portland\, Oregon\, he has been involved with many facets of the photographic arts. Mitchell received his BFA from Oregon College of Art & Craft where he has also taught studio school classes and workshops. In his personal work\, he implements many photographic techniques including toy cameras\, pinhole\, alternative processes\, mixed media\, and hand drawing. Most recently Mitchell has been specializing in acrylic lifts–this process and artwork have been published in Photographic Possibilities\, 3rd edition by Robert Hirsch and Alternative Photographic Processes:  Crafting Handmade Images by Brady Wilks. \n7:30pm – Zeb Andrews \nZeb Andrews is a Portland-based photographer who has lived his entire life in the Pacific Northwest.  The majority of his work week is spent immersed in photography while working at Blue Moon Camera and Machine in North Portland.  Much of his inspiration comes from the photographers and photography he sees circulate through that store on a daily basis\, and he in turn loves passing that along.  Zeb was an instructor at Newspace Center for Photography for seven years and frequently gives presentations to local high school and college photography programs on all things photographic.  When he isn’t at work or enthralled in a class lecture he can often be found on some windswept beach or quietly verdant forest\, camera in hand. \n

SUMMARY:Minor White’s Beginnings - A Public Symposium at the Portland Art Museum
DESCRIPTION:Minor White’s Beginnings\nA Public Symposium \nApril 20\, 9:30am – 5pm \nWhitsell Auditorium\nPortland Art Museum\n1219 SW Park Avenue\nPortland\, OR 97205\nportlandartmuseum.org\n503-226-2811 \nFree and open to the public\, no reservations required \nIn this daylong symposium co-organized by the Portland Art Museum and the Princeton University Art Museum\, scholars of art and art history\, archivists\, and artists will explore Minor White’s early career and works\, and discuss the ways that White’s art and archives are being cared for and accessed by the public. Please join us on April 20 for part or all of this free event\, which celebrates the museum’s current exhibition In the Beginning: Minor White’s Oregon Photographs. \nThis symposium is supported by the Minor White Archive\, Princeton University Art Museum. \n\nSchedule \n9:30AM\nPortland Art Museum’s Photographic Beginnings: Minor White’s WPA Images of Oregon\nJulia Dolan\, PhD\, Minor White Curator of Photography\, Portland Art Museum \nDr. Dolan will discuss the Portland Art Museum’s holdings of Minor White’s photographs of Oregon and how they became the institution’s first fine art photography acquisitions. \n10:15AM\nSeeing like a Westerner—Oregon Landscapes around 1940\nW. Ian Bourland\, PhD\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Art History\, Maryland Institute College of Art\nProfessor Bourland will explore White’s Eastern Oregon landscapes and his time in Portland\, where he engaged with the teachings of the f.64 group and joined a deeper history of picturing the American West. \n11:00AM\nBehind the Scenes: Minor White’s Archives in Portland and at Princeton\nVal Ballestrem\, Education Manager\, Architectural Heritage Center\nMatthew Cowan\, Archivist for Photography and Moving Images\, Oregon Historical Society\nJulia Dolan\, PhD\, Minor White Curator of Photography\, Portland Art Museum\nCathryn Goodwin\, Manager of Collections Information\, Princeton University Art Museum\nKenneth Hawkins\, PhD\, archivist and author \nA conversation consisting of multiple perspectives\, the panel will discuss the nature of White’s archival materials\, how they are accessed by the public and used by outside institutions\, and the valuable information they hold. \n12:00PM\nBREAK \n1:30PM\nFrom Expression to Creation: Minor White’s Theater\nTodd Cronan\, PhD\, Associate Professor of Modern Art\, Department of Art History\, Emory University \nWhite provocatively declared “candid” photography a “dead end.” White’s alternative to the subject “caught unawares” was what he called the “camera-conscious” approach. Professor Cronan contends that White’s engagement with theater that began at the Portland Civic Theatre changed the course of his photography. Moving from caught to conscious photography\, his staged scenes opened up an influential course for the future of photographic practice. \n2:15PM\nCharacteristic Photography for Students of the Art\nBrendan Fay\, PhD\, Assistant Professor\, School of Art and Design\, Eastern Michigan University \nProfessor Fay will discuss White’s growing need to provide students a systematic introduction to photography and its possibilities\, and his resulting reuse and repackaging of his Oregon pictures at the California School of Fine Arts in the 1940s and 1950s. \n3:00PM\nLegacy: Minor White’s Relevance to Contemporary Practice\nAspen Mays\, Artist and Assistant Professor in Graduate Fine Arts and Undergraduate Photography\, California College of the Arts\nKatherine Bussard\, PhD\, Peter C.

SUMMARY:Photographer Speaker Series (2/3) at Portland Community College - Cascade Campus
DESCRIPTION:Photographer Speaker Series\nPortland Photography Month \nSaturday\, April 14 \n1:30 – 2:45   Rachel Wolf\n3:00 – 4:15  Margaret Jacobsen\n4:30 – 5:45   Davis Hilton \nPortland Community College – Cascade Campus \nMoriarty Arts and Humanities Building\n705 N Killingsworth St\, Portland\, OR 97217\nAuditorium  Room 104 \nContact:\nKelli Pennington\nInstructor of Photography\nPortland Community College – Cascade Campus\nKellipenni@gmail.com \nPortland Community College – Cascade Art Department is pleased to announce a Photographer Speaker Series in support of Portland Photography Month.  All students and community members are welcome to attend.  Featuring nine photographers\, who photograph a wide range of subjects and utilize various forms of the medium\, will speak about their life path\, artistic practice\, and thoughts on the state of photography. Each artist will lecture for 60 minutes and answer questions. \nSaturday April 14 \n1:30pm – Rachel Wolf \nRachel Wolf specializes in Photography and Light Installations. Many of her projects are experiments in which the external world is lensed in a way that considers inner reality and visual perception; photography implies an objectivity\, whose impossibility masks potent subjectivities. One of her principal methods of working with photography is without a camera\, and involves directly exposing photographic paper to light and chemicals. She chooses to return to these irreducible elements\, the invisible tools of analogue photography\, in order to produce a new\, tangible photographic subject. This way of working with light in the dark led her to start producing light-based installations. These are spaces in which a viewer may find themselves in a liminal space between sensory  experience and knowledge\, the analytical and the corporeal\, perception and apprehension. Rachel exhibits her work nationally\, and is an educator and speaker in the field. Originally from Anchorage\, Alaska\, Rachel earned her BA from Hampshire College and her MFA from Pacific Northwest College of Art. \n3:00pm – Margaret Jacobsen \nI’m a non-binary parent who loves dance parties in the kitchen\, all day naps\, brunch at anytime\, writing articles that challenge\, raising plant babies\, and leading discussions around dismantling patriarchy\, societies expectations with relationships\, how to take care of our mental health\, and how to build community in all that we do. A photographer + writer by trade\, who has fallen into strategy + branding\, while teaching fellow humans about race\, queerness\, gender\, and often times plants\, and pop culture. I try to do as many things as possible\, because why not? \n4:30pm – Davis Hilton \nI am a 23-year-old photographer living in Portland\, and I love taking portraits. To be honest\, I could photograph people for the rest of my life and be the happiest person alive. \nI am a college student\, currently working on earning my degree in advertising at Portland State University. I’m also a proud member of the LGBT community\, and a Game of Thrones fanatic. \n

SUMMARY:Ann Ploeger at Luke's Frame Shop (Albina)
DESCRIPTION:Ann Ploeger\, The Woman Who Was Alive There\nPortraits by Ann Ploeger \nApril 7th – 30th\, 2018\nOPENING PARTY: Saturday\, April 7th\, 6-8pm \nLuke’s Frame Shop (Albina)\n4703 N. Albina Avenue\nPortland\, OR 97217\nlukesframeshop.com\nMon – Sat\, 10am – 6pm\n*wheelchair accessible \nThere remains something that goes beyond the testimony to the photographer’s art\, something that fills you with an unruly desire to know what her name was\, the woman who was alive there\, who is even now still real and will never consent wholly to be absorbed in art. -Walter Benjamin \nI made these portraits of my community of women during the summer of 2017. I wanted to strip away the environment allowing these women to take center stage: the simple figure on a white background looking at me looking at you. Their gaze transports me to a place where I think about who I used to be and who I thought I would be. My selection from each sitting puts me at the forefront; shows the viewer my truth. I am the invisible variable. \nIn this time of rampant misogyny and hate\, I needed to celebrate the strength and beauty around me. The work is a love letter to the women in my life and to photographic portraiture. \nAnn Ploeger\nannploeger.com \n

SUMMARY:J. Fredric May at Blue Sky Gallery
DESCRIPTION:J. Fredric May\, Apparition: Postcards from Eye See You\n2017 Critical Mass Solo Exhibition Award in collaboration with Photolucida \nApril 5–29\, 2018\nFirst Thursday Opening Reception\, April 5\, 6:00–9:00 PM\nArtist Talk: Saturday\, April 7\, 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/ \nIn 2012 J. Fredric May experienced a major stroke\, causing him to lose 46% of his vision. This rendered him legally blind and subject to vivid visual hallucinations. This life event dramatically changed his artistic vision\, opening up an entirely new visual style as he began to illustrate how his brain now processes information. \nMay’s photographs are a hybrid of analog and digital processes that are the result of extensive experimentation. He begins with vintage portraits that he scans and puts through data corruption software. He then creates layered composites and prints these as cyanotypes\, which he bleaches and tones with a mixture of photo chemicals and tea. He then digitizes the altered cyanotypes and creates an archival pigment print of each enigmatic portrait. \nBlue Sky is pleased to present Apparition as the 2017 Critical Mass Solo Exhibition Award in collaboration with Photolucida. \nA graduate of Brooks Institute\, J. Fredric May received his B.S. in Commercial/Color Technology and was accepted into the prestigious Eddie Adams Workshop in 1989. He made his living as a photojournalist and commercial photographer traveling all over the world\, telling visual stories with a signature style of bold color and confrontational composition. He won numerous state and regional honors. As a filmmaker\, May directed more than 50 corporate and industrial films and helped raise more than 7 million dollars for nonprofit organizations. He has won Telly and Cine Awards for his creative film work and national awards for his corporate and nonprofit clients. \n

SUMMARY:Small Talk Collective at Pushdot Studio
DESCRIPTION:Small Talk Collective\, We’re Always Touching By Underground Wires\n\nOPEN/CLOSE: April 6 – May 28\, 2018.\nOpening reception on April 6th from 6-8pm for First Friday in conjunction with Portland Photo Month. \nPUSHDOT STUDIO\n2505 SE 11th Avenue\, Suite 104 – in the Ford Building\, enter on Division Street\nPortland\, OR 97202\n503.224.5925\nwww.pushdotstudio.com\nGallery Hours: Mon-Fri. 8:30am to 5:00pm\, free admission \nPushdot is proud to host Small Talk Collective for their first joint exhibition and book release! In this redefining point of history for the Portland photography community\, these seven women are showing the importance of supporting and empowering one another as artists\, entrepreneurs\, and experts in their field.  They invite you into a conversation – both visual and societal – around the strength of joining individual visions in order to speak to broader human desires and themes\, including empathy\, belonging\, memory\, and transformation. \nThe exhibition\, book release\, and the later community conversation in May\, are supported by a generous Project Grant from the Regional Arts and Culture. \nAbout Small Talk Collective\nSmall Talk is a photography collective comprised of seven women artists. It was formed in Portland\, Oregon in 2015. \nAs a group\, Small Talk explores the nature of what it means to be visual storytellers. They pool resources\, provide support\, and exchange ideas – engaging in the best kind of small talk\, that which binds them together\, fostering stronger work and facilitating collaboration. smalltalkcollective.com \nAbout the Work\nChange is incremental\, barely noticed\, until it’s sudden and irrevocable. A house slowly ages and wears\, until abruptly\, it’s demolished and gone. Inside our own homes\, we find imperfections and repairs\, evidence of former occupants and our former selves. We feel these transitions and make new connections: between a bird discovered in a field and one dismembered by a cat\, between the furrows on a face and those on the landscape\, impressions left on skin and in memory. We look for change and find its mark. We look at what is\, attempting to find the shape of what was. \nAbout the Artists \nAudra Osborne is a photographer and crafter whose work stems from the often debilitating emotions she (and many people) feel on a daily basis. These ideas typically center around anxiety\, depression\, and loss. Her photographs act as a visual diary and study of these emotions\, as well as a remedy. By creating these images she has created a space for herself and others to discuss these “taboo” topics on an open platform. This self-enforced openness has allowed her to become more in control of her anxiety\, beyond systems and treatments. Audra-osborne.com \nBriana Cerezo utilizes photography as a process of discovery. Making photographs offers opportunities to deeply study those things in life that she finds most perplexing — namely people\, the nature of relationships\, creative process\, spirituality\, philosophy\, and the inner workings of the self. Photography allows her the opportunity to reflect and organize fragments of her experiences in order to make sense of the world and her role in it.\nBriana’s editorial and documentary photographs have been featured in newspapers and magazines such as Portland Monthly\, Willamette Week\, Portland Mercury\, Fraction\, Ain’t-Bad and The New Asterisk\, and her artwork has been exhibited in galleries throughout the Pacific Northwest. In 2017 she was awarded an artist residency with Oregon Historical Society to interview and photograph members of diverse and underrepresented populations throughout Oregon. Brianacerezo.com \nJennifer Timmer Trail\, originally from Northern Michigan\, spent over a decade in New York\, and some time in Copenhagen and Victoria\, BC\, before settling in Portland\, Oregon. Life circumstances have kept her far from the idyllic small town she still calls home\, and this has played a crucial role in the development of her work. Her photographs explore the longings that exist within relationships\, things we wish we could hold on to but can’t\, and the nostalgia that accompanies the process of aging. She is most interested exploring and pushing the boundaries of what a photograph can communicate on an emotional and psychological level.\nJennifer received her MFA in Photography from Hartford Art School and her BA in Art History / Studio Art / Natural Science from Michigan State University. She is currently an instructor of photography\, design\, and publication production\, and her work has been written about and exhibited internationally. Jennifertrail.com \nKelli Pennington often plays a role for the camera\, which allows her to feel outside of herself\, or forces her to feel her skin tautly strung over her bones. She sees herself in her mind’s eye and feels fragile and human. That vulnerability is as thrilling as it is terrifying. Kelli is an educator at Portland Community College and an avid traveller.  Kellipennington.com \nKristina Hruska has worked as the Education Director for Newspace Center for Photography in Portland\, OR\, Photo Workshops Director at Rocky Mountain School of Photography in Missoula\, MT\, and as an Editor for Diffusion: Unconventional Photography Magazine. She currently holds the position of Gallery Director at Pushdot Gallery in Portland. She is the Founder of Small Talk Collective.\nKristina’s photographic work explores the themes of mystery and resilience and often speaks to the intersection between the ordinary and the extraordinary. Her photography has been shown in galleries across the U.S. and is held in private collections across the globe.  kristinahruska.com \nLeslie Hickey holds BA degrees in Studio Art and English from Whitman College. She recently worked as a teaching assistant in the media department at Studio Art Centers International in Florence\, Italy\, and was a fellow through the Civita Institute in the tiny village of Civita di Bagnoregio. In addition to her photography\, she runs a quarterly letterpress subscription service through her imprint\, Hoarfrost Press. Leslie is also a founding member of an international photographic group entitled Scaleno. Lesliehickey.com \nMarico Fayre is a photographic artist whose work explores vulnerability\, aloneness\, mental illness\, LGBTQ identity\, the search for belonging\, and the dialogue that occurs between making and experiencing art. Her work has been described as visual poetry and her drive to create both encompasses and challenges notions of beauty.\nMarico often collaborates with performance artists and writers\, weaving together the two voices in order to create projects of depth and strength. She teaches workshops and mentors MFA students\, incorporating her background in branding\, project management\, and creative direction\, to support and teach the business side of being an artist. Her combination of determination\, efficiency\, and calm lead one client to describe her style as\, “doing wild things very quietly.”\nA gypsy at heart\, she travels as often as possible in order to continue challenging how she sees the world and what she is able to discover with her camera.

SUMMARY:"Cascadia: Where Oregon Meets" juried show at Crossroads Carnegie Art Center
DESCRIPTION:Cascadia: Where Oregon Meets\nA juried show featuring 47 Oregon photographers \nApril 6 – 28\, 2018\nCrossroads Carnegie Art Center\n2020 Auburn Ave.\nBaker City\, Oregon\nwww.crossroads-arts.org\nGallery Hours: 10am-5pm\, Monday-Saturday \n“Cascadia: Where Oregon Meets\,” a touring juried exhibit featuring photographs and photographers from all corners of the state\, opens at the Crossroads Carnegie Art Center in Baker City on April 6. \nThe exhibit\, which will visit three cities in the state this spring and summer\, is an effort to “bring an ever-divided state of Oregon closer together through the lens of photographers\, both urban and rural\,” according to Crossroads Director Ginger Savage\, who spearheaded the project. \nThe inaugural exhibit at Crossroads will run through April 28\, with a reception and awards ceremony scheduled for Friday April 6 from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Eleven of the 47 exhibiting photographers will be awarded cash prizes ranging from $500 for Best of Show and People’s Choice to $100 for Honorable Mention. \n“We asked photographers from across the breadth of our state to interpret ‘the authentic Oregon experience’ and to show us stories about what we share from both sides of the Cascades\,” says Savage. “We named the show for the geology under us all. When the Cascadia Subduction Zone breaks (and it’s only a matter of time!)\, the little picky things that have divided Oregonians\, including urban vs. rural\, will not matter anymore.”\nThe exhibit includes black-and-white and color photographs depicting the varied landscapes and people of Oregon from the Coast to the Snake River and from the Columbia Gorge to Klamath Falls. The project was underwritten by the Ford Family Foundation of Roseburg\, Ore. \nAfter Baker City the exhibit will be on display at The Dalles-Wasco County Public Library in The Dalles May 4 – 31\, and then at the LaSells Stewart Center on the Oregon State University campus in Corvallis from July 2 to Aug. 5. \n

SUMMARY:Jon Gottshall at Gallery 114
DESCRIPTION:Jon Gottshall\, Scale \nApril 5-28\nOpening: April 5\, 6-9pm \nGallery 114\n1100 NW Glisan\, Portland OR 97209\n(503) 243-3356\nGallery hours: Thurs-Sun\, 12-6pm\ncontact@gallery114pdx.com\nwww.gallery114pdx.com \n“Scale” is my homage to landscape photographers of the past\, those who have celebrated the humbling vastness of the land around us and yet also made it seem tactile and accessible. Names are too many to mention\, but let it rest for now on the shoulders of Timothy O’Sullivan\, Carlton Watkins\, W.H. Jackson and Edweard Muybridge. Their photographs convey wonder at the spaces before them and of their own smallness. The sense of being tiny in a vast world has always moved me\, and in these images I attempt to carry that tradition forward. \nMy goal in these images in not just to document\, in as visceral way as I can\, the size and scale of the landscape\, but to also use the photographs as the first step in a creative process. Starting with the photograph itself\, I print onto clear\, non-absorbent acetate\, which allows the ink to remain fluid. It moves and interacts or stays distinct according to it’s own viscosity. The longer I wait\, the more the image is altered. I repeatedly scan these transformed images and incorporate them into the original photo file. The variability that results is an organic addition to the digital process\, which I find an immensely interesting form of inquiry. \njongottshall@msn.com\nalso:\n \n

SUMMARY:Rich Bergeman\, Renee McKitterick\, Frank Boyden at Royal Nebecker Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Rich Bergeman\, Renee McKitterick\, Frank Boyden\, Empathies and Energies \nApril 2 to May 10\, 2018\nReception: April 5\, at 6 p.m. \nRoyal Nebecker Gallery\nClatsop Community College Campus\n1799 Lexington Ave.\nAstoria\, OR \nwww.clatsopcc.edu/community/ccc-royal-nebeker-art-gallery\nHours: Monday through Friday 9am to 6pm \nCorvallis photographer Rich Bergeman will be joined by fellow Oregon artists Renee McKitterick and Frank Boyden for an exhibit titled “Empathies and Energies” at the Royal Nebecker Gallery on the campus of Clatsop Community College in Astoria from April 2 to May 10\, 2018. \nThe exhibit features recent infrared landscape photographs by Bergeman\, who has been exhibiting his black-and-white photographs throughout the Northwest since the 1980s; ceramics and sculpture by McKitterick\, who is currently chair of the Art Department at Linn-Benton Community College in Albany; and ceramics and prints by Boyden\, an internationally acclaimed artist from Otis\, Oregon\, whose public sculptures can be seen at the Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport\, Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland\, and elsewhere\nA public reception will be held on Thursday\, April 5\, at 6 p.m. in the gallery. \n“Empathies and Energies” takes its name from the commingling of Boyden’s dry-point etchings of anguished faces with the fire and light that Bergeman and McKitterick use to create their infrared photographs and ceramics\, respectively. Boyden’s “Empathies” is a suite of 96 intimate dry-point psychological portraits that began in response to the artist’s disillusionment with the depravity of humanity and evolved into one of empathy and personal introspection. Bergeman said he began using infrared photography in recent years because it has a “haunting quality” that fits well with his historical projects\, and can transform an everyday landscape into a surreal experience. McKitterick describes the new work she is showing as “fundamentally feminine\,” and an exploration of how “shapes can move the viewer through\, around\, and back into its space.” \n

SUMMARY:Svetlana Bailey at Blue Sky Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Svetlana Bailey\, once there was there wasn’t \nApril 5–29\, 2018\nFirst Thursday Opening Reception\, April 5\, 6:00–9:00 PM\nArtist Talk: Thursday\, April 5\, 5:00 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“Objects\, places\, and events that occur in separate times and places can coexist psychologically. My work supposed that this coexistence can be reconciled with photographs\, which\, although normally fixed to particular times\, locations\, and stories\, are nevertheless able to travel\, in boxes\, or as mind images on overlapping currents.” \nUntil the age of eight\, Svetlana Bailey’s summers were spent at her grandmother’s house in the Russian countryside. It was there she discovered the world on her own and formed her earliest memories. Sixteen years ago her grandmother passed away and now the house stands empty. To create once there was there wasn’t\, Bailey returned to her grandmother’s home and constructed installations throughout the abandoned property\, using objects found there and photographs depicting her life after leaving Russia to create new images. She followed a similar process at her parents’ home in Germany and in her own home in the United States\, constructing photographs that allow disparate times and places to exist together in the mind. \nSvetlana Bailey was born in St Petersburg in 1984\, and after the fall of the Soviet Union emigrated to Germany with her family. After beginning her studies at FH Dortmund\, Bailey moved to Australia to complete her BFA at the College of Fine Arts in Sydney. In 2016 Bailey graduated with an MFA in photography from the Rhode Island School of Design. Since then she has completed residencies at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine; the NARS Foundation in New York; the Atlantic Center for the Arts in Florida; The Bundanon Trust\, in Bundanon New South Wales; and the Mountain School of Arts in Los Angeles. She will be in residence at the International Studio and Curatorial Program in New York City in 2018. In 2017 Svetlana was the winner of the Flash Forward Prize presented by The Magenta Foundation and in 2018 she was awarded an Australia Council Career Development Grant. \n

SUMMARY:Joe Rudko at PDX CONTEMPORARY ART
DESCRIPTION:Joe Rudko\, Intermediate Techniques of Photography \nApril 4th – April 28th \nPDX CONTEMPORARY ART\n925 NW Flanders Street\nPortland OR 97209 \nHOURS: 11:00 – 6:00 Tues. – Sat.\nADMISSION:    Free\nOpen First Thursday\,   April 5th\, 2018\, 6:00 – 8:00 \nThis April PDX CONTEMPORARY ART presents Intermediate Techniques of Photography\, an exhibition of images by Joe Rudko that explores both the magic and the limitations of the photograph. \nUsing collage\, drawing and sculptural methods Rudko extends\, manipulates and distorts found images to create new relationships of color and line. With an improvisational confidence\, he gives once-antiquated snapshots new life through creative play. \nLike analog glitches\, Rudko’s images stutter and shapeshift\, demonstrating the malleability of photographs as representations of reality and as physical objects. Taken with the knowledge that truth is becoming increasingly recognized as an unstable concept in our world\, the relevance of Rudko’s explorations becomes more profound. \nJoe Rudko is a graduate of Western Washington University and has shown broadly in both solo and group exhibitions throughout the Northwest including shows at PDX CONTEMPORARY ART (Portland\, OR)\, Roq La Rue (Seattle\, WA)\, LxWxH (Seattle\, WA)\, Disjecta Center for Contemporary Art (Portland\, OR)\, Photo Center Northwest (Seattle\, WA)\, Whatcom Museum of Art (Bellingham\, WA)\, and Greg Kucera Gallery (Seattle\, WA)\, among others. He has been the recipient of the Future List Award and two Art Walk Awards from City Arts Magazine as well as the Vermont Studio Center Fellowship Award. His work was also featured on the cover of indie rock band Death Cab for Cutie’s 2015 album Kintsugi and is included in the collections of the Portland Art Museum\, Fidelity Investments\, and the private collections of Dorothy Lemelson\, James and Susan Winkler\, and Driek Zirinsky. \nThe Work:\n• Explores the photograph as malleable object for creative play and for exploring the unstability of truth in the visual\n• Uses collage and drawing techniques to dissemble found material and create new visual relationships\, extending the fragments and giving them new lives\n• Improvisational\, playful\, renders photographic interpretation unstable and precarious\n• Questions the photograph as a representation of history \nThe Artist:\n• Lives and works in Seattle\, Washington\n• Uses the photograph as a jumping off point for exploring the perception of truth in the visual\n• Shown widely in the Northwest\, with solo and group shows in Seattle\, Bellingham\, and Portland\n• Recipient of the Vermont Studio Center Fellowship\, Future List Award\, and two Art Walk Awards from City Arts Magazine\n• His work was featured on the cover of indie rock band Death Cab for Cutie’s 2015 album Kintsugi \n

SUMMARY:Andy Richter at Camerawork Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Andy Richter\, Serpent in the Wilderness \nMarch 31st – April 27th\, 2018 \nCamerawork Gallery\n2255 NW Northrup Street\n(Linfield School of Nursing – Peterson Hall)\nPortland\, OR 97210\nhttp://www.TheCameraworkGallery.org\nhttp://www.facebook.com/cameraworkgallery\nGallery Hours: 9am-4pm\, Monday-Friday\, Saturday 9am-5pm \nMinneapolis\, Minnesota photographer Andy Richter notes\, “from ashrams and caves throughout India to living rooms across America\, Serpent in the Wilderness reveals hidden layers and rarely seen dimensions of a profoundly spiritual path and way of life.” \nThis exhibition is a visual exploration of yoga that emerged from Richter’s personal practice and experience. After studying yoga for years\, he decided to use his medium to search for the essence of the teachings. For more than half a decade\, Richter traveled to places that are historically relevant to yoga’s past\, as well as to places that embody its living present\, documenting a variety of yoga traditions with many of the world’s great saints and yogis. While this ancient Indian science has roots in Hindu mythology and doctrine\, today it is mainstream\, global\, and growing in popularity. Both a method of self-realization and a state of being\, yoga encourages greater equanimity and awareness\, a calm mind\, a healthy body\, and a compassionate heart. This photographic exhibition captures that spirit\, along with the face of yoga around the world. \nAndy Richter is a photographer based in Minneapolis\, Minnesota whose work embodies his desire to see past surface illusions to a deeper\, more universal truth. Richter immerses himself in his subject and its wider context\, exploring such themes as aging and loss\, self and cultural transformation\, and spirituality with the heightened awareness that the camera brings. Far from a neutral observer\, he is emotionally and experientially invested in his subjects\, and uses color and light to engage the viewer and evoke inner experience. \nRichter studied photography at the University of Minnesota and graduated with honors with degrees in Spanish and Psychology in 1999. He spent the next several years climbing and photographing the great mountain ranges of the world\, where he feels he learned how to really see. Upon returning to Minnesota in 2006\, his focus shifted from landscape photography to experiential documentary and portraiture. His monograph\, Serpent in the Wilderness\, published in 2018 with Kehrer Verlag\, sheds new light on the ancient science of yoga\, documenting rarely seen aspects across different cultures. He is also experimenting with camera-less technologies. \nRichter’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally. He has received numerous awards and been recognized by American Photography\, Photolucida\, the\nInternational Photography Awards\, and the Minnesota State Arts Board. His clients include Time\, Smithsonian\, The Washington Post\, National Geographic Traveler\, AFAR\, Mother Jones\, UN Women\, The Trust for Public Land and UNICEF. \n2018 Exhibitions of Serpent in the Wilderness • MPLS Photo Center in Minneapolis\, Minnesota\, March 23 to May 1\, 2018 • Camerawork Gallery\, Portland\, Oregon\, March 31 to April 27\, 2018 • Vermont Center for Photography\, Brattleboro\, Vermont\, June 1 to July 1\, 2018 \nwww.AndyRichterPhoto.com \n

SUMMARY:Jeffrey Opp\, Carson Legree\, and Rhonda Vanover at The Esther Building Art Space
DESCRIPTION:Jeffrey Opp\, Carson Legree\, and Rhonda Vanover \nThrough March 31\, 2017\nTuesday March 27th there will be an artist talk at 6pm \nThe Esther Building Art Space\n610 Esther Street\, Vancouver Washington\n360-566-7808\nThe Esther Building Art Space is open to the public during business hours 8am-5pm M-F \nThe artwork of Carson Legree\, Jeffrey Opp\, and Rhonda Vanover will be on display at the Esther Building Art Space this winter. Each artist has unique way of capturing transitory moments. \nOn the first floor of the Esther Building Art Space Carson Legree’s paintings show abstracted images distilled from current events. Her artwork layers black and white images with swirling colors that imply energy\, movement\, and rhythm. Although the inspiration for her work can come from heavy topics the artwork maintains a feeling of progress and positivity. \nTwo photographers\, Rhonda Vanover and Jeffrey Opp\, have their works displayed on the second floor. Opp captures images of overlooked buildings and spaces. He photographs places we may pass by regularly but take no notice of. His attention to these under-dog points in the landscapes is tender in its attentiveness. Opp’s artwork may change the way you see the everyday world we live in. \nMany of Rhonda Vanover artworks are photograms; images that are made by laying an object directly on photo paper and exposing the image without using a camera. The result is a shadowy image of the original object. They are beautiful and haunting traces of the original subject. \nCarson Legree http://carsonlegree.com/\nJeffrey Opp http://jeffreyopp.com/\nRhonda Vanover http://www.rhondavanover.com/\n—\nJeffrey Opp\, MFA\nPhotographic Artist and Maker of Books \nwww.jeffreyopp.com \n

SUMMARY:Deb Stoner at Portland Art Museum
DESCRIPTION:Deb Stoner\, Pay Attention To What You Pay Attention To \nPortland Art Museum Photography Council’s\nBrown Bag Lunch Talk Series \nWednesday\, March 21st\, 2018 at Noon \nPortland Art Museum\nMiller Gallery in the Mark building\n1219 SW Park Avenue\, Portland\, OR 97205\nwww.portlandartmuseum.org\n503 226 2811\nCost: Free to the public. \n  \nFor this presentation\, I’ll talk about my life and career as an artist. I’ll tell you about my work of part-time teaching\, making art objects for others\, designing eyewear for fashion industry\, and running a small business. I’ll show you the work I did that led me through designing\, making and teaching about eyewear as a jeweler\, and how that informed and directed me in making my current work. Photography has always been a part of it\, but had been the part of my artistic practice that gets attention when I’m not too busy doing other things to earn a living. In the past five years\, that has changed\, with my full time commitment to making still life photographs of flora and tiny fauna. I’ll show you lots of images that might increase your awareness of how beautiful the world is\, and what inspires me. I’ll tell you about the technology I use to make my work\, and I’ll reveal the secret of how it is that the grasshopper is as big as the watermelon in this picture\, without using digital trickery. \nDeb Stoner is a fine art photographer with deep roots in craft. Deb creates still life photographs that are complex visual constructs made using the flora and fauna of a very small region\, usually her neighborhood. Her work involves growing plants (or making friends with gardeners)\, collecting and mounting insects\, and paying attention to small ephemeral events to make images with in real time. She earned an MFA in Applied Design from SDSU\, a BS in Geology from UC Davis\, and has taught in the Jewelry and Metals Department at Oregon College of Art and Craft since 1991\, except for a few years along the way. Deb is known for her work in designing and making eyewear from a jeweler’s point of view\, for developing new ideas in eyewear for the fashion industry\, and for teaching those ideas to students in over fifty workshops at craft centers worldwide. As a photographer\, Deb had a solo show at the Camerawork Gallery\, was a Critical Mass finalist and a speaker at the SPE NW Regional Conference in 2015\, a year-long solo exhibit at the Portland International Airport in 2016\, a solo exhibition with Vernissage in Portland in 2017\, and a recent lecture and exhibition at the Yuma Art Center/Symposium. Her photographs are in the public art collections of PCC\, the University of Oregon\, the Port of Portland\, OHSU\, the homes of many collectors\, and in the juried NW Viewing Drawers at Blue Sky Gallery each year since 2015. \n

SUMMARY:manuel arturo abreu and Christopher Paul Jordan at Marylhurst University (Art Gym)
DESCRIPTION:manuel arturo abreu and Christopher Paul Jordan\, Place Names \nMarch 20\, 2018 – May 20\, 2018\nOpening Reception: March 18\, 2018 from 5 – 7pm \nArt Gym\nMarylhurst University\n17600 Pacific Highway (Hwy. 43)\nMarylhurst\, OR 97036-0261\nhttp://theartgym.org/ \nGallery Hours\nTuesday – Sunday\, Noon to 4 pm\nClosed March 30 – April 1\, 2018 (Easter Weekend)\nAdmission: Free to the public.\nParking is free.  The gallery is located on the third floor of the central building on campus – BP John\, on the south side of the building. \nPlace Names is an exhibition by regional artists manuel arturo abreu (Portland\, OR) and Christopher Paul Jordan (Tacoma\, WA). Through painting\, sculpture\, built environments\, and explorations of language\, Place Names explores the abstracted visual and emotional cues that influence how a sense a “place” is communicated. The artists each construct visual narratives from notions of the geographical and cultural locales that have been generative to their thinking as artists and poets. The works in Place Names appropriate objects such as stray window frames\, graffiti-laden panels\, well-worn maps\, and evocations of their workspaces as signifiers of the cultural\, economic\, and racial influences within inherited identity. \nmanuel arturo abreu (b. 1991\, Santo Domingo) is an artist and writer from the Bronx. They received their BA in Linguistics from Reed College in 2014\, and currently lives and works in a garage in southeast Portland. Recent group exhibitions with Rhizome and the New Museum (online)\, the Cooley Gallery (Portland)\, Chicken Coop Contemporary (Portland)\, Veronica project space (Seattle)\, and AA|LA Gallery (Los Angeles). Recent publications in Art in America\, Rhizome\, CURA\, SFMoMA Open Space\, AQNB\, et al. abreu is the author of List of Consonants (Bottlecap Press\, 2015) and transtrender (Quimérica Books\, 2016)\, and their debut collection of critical writing is forthcoming 2018. \nChristopher Paul Jordan integrates virtual and physical public space to form infrastructures for dialogue and self-determination among dislocated people. Jordan’s paintings and sculptures are artifacts from his work in community and time-capsules for expanded inquiry. Jordan is a recipient of the 2017 Neddy Artists Award for painting\, the Jon Imber Painting Fellowship\, the GTCF Foundation of Art Award\, the James W Ray Venture Project Award\, and the most recent summer commission for Seattle Art Museum’s Olympic Sculpture Park. \nPlace Names is the inaugural exhibition curated by Ashley Stull Meyers\, the Robert and Mercedes Eichholz Director and Curator of the Art Gym and Belluschi Pavilion\, Marylhurst University. \n

SUMMARY:Jennifer L. Stoots\, Follow The Money
DESCRIPTION:March 15th\, 2018 from 7:00-9:00pm \nDisjecta Contemporary Art Center8371 N.    Interstate Ave.Portland\, OR 97217 \nTICKETS  $10 (pre-event)  / $15 (at door) \nJoin us for an evening educational discussion\, Follow the Money\, presented by Jennifer L. Stoots\, AAA. This is the first in a quarterly event series produced by Photolucida that will take place in the Disjecta Arts Building in Historic Kenton. \nAt a fundamental level\, the basics of the art business are no different than any other time in history; the tools\, mediums and tastes have changed\, but the art market has patterns as well as cycles. The art world can be deliberately cloistered and the market mystifying for many. The aim of this lecture will be to demystify and illuminate based on Stoots’s experience working at galleries\, art fairs and as an art & photography appraiser. Many of the issues and topics addressed are relevant to many fine art photographers and artists who work in the medium today. \nThis presentation will briefly review: \n\nThe evolution of the Western art market.\nThe motivations of invention and the birth of the photo industry.\nThe “modern medium” and its acceptance as an art form.\nSnowballing of the photography market in the 1970s and 1980s\, when there was a flourish of photography galleries in the US and major auction houses dedicated departments exclusively to photo.\nTop selling photographers and photographs—auction records and what’s interesting about the markets where those top tier prices were achieved.\nThe current landscape of the fine art photography market\, including a discussion of art fairs and online platforms.\n\nJennifer L. Stoots\, AAA\, is a certified photography appraiser\, accredited by the Appraisers Association of America. She has been professionally involved in the arts for 24 years\, has managed and worked with galleries for 20 years\, and has been appraising contemporary art\, photographs and photographic archives for 16 years. She is also a photography historian\, writer\, art market consultant\, and organizes workshops and presentations centered around legacy and estate planning for artists and photographers.Stoots earned her Bachelor’s in Art History from the University of Oregon (1994)\, her Master’s in the History of Art & Design from Pratt Institute (2013)\, and her appraising credentials from NYU’s Appraisal Studies Program for Fine and Decorative Arts (2002). \nWebsite: http://www.stootsllc.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stoots.jennifer/\n
