Tonight is Echo Gap, a one-night show of video art by ten Portland-based artists curated by WorkSound’s Modou Dieng at Valentine’s (232 SW Ankeny) at 8:30 PM. Artists include Arnold Kemp, the new chair of PNCA’s MFA program, Jeff Jahn, critic and editor of PORT, PNCA professors David Eckard and Stephen Slappe who have work respectively in Call + Response at Museum of Contemporary Craft and PICA’s TBA:09 Festival right now, Kelly Rauer, who just did a very good installation at The Manor group show, plus Sari Carel, Posie Currin, Sean Carney, and Hannah Piper Burns.
In the context of the video work currently on display at The WORKS for PICA’s TBA:09 Festival, it will be interesting to see what Portland brings to the party. Looking forward to it.
Well I’m more like an air traffic controller than editor ;) …though we plan to actually edit our anthology book next year, marking our 5th anniversary.
Yeah, lots of new names and I even fired up the recording studio to do the soundtrack… definitely not pop music, a weird ass orgy of analog synth and 10 guitars… it’s designed specifically for the earphone listening/viewing combo. It’s absolutely more pleasant as silent video… but I wanted it to sound like all the creepy crawly things in the woods.
