I am intrigued by idea of this series of masonry-flavored cutouts by Edward Jeffrey Kriksciun, part of his Brickthrough show just opening at Nationale (2730 E Burnside). Brickthrough, incidentally, is my A-#1 favorite show title of the year thus far because, of course, it can be read every which way.
Portland-based artist Kriksciun has shown at various PDX venues (including Half & Half, Holocene, and Milepost5) and co-curated the video and animation festivals Take It EZ I & II with Daniel Peterson.
The tiny Nationale, wedged between the Greek church thrift shop and Rad Summer on E Burnside has consistently interesting art shows of small scale works. See more preview photos of Brickthrough on the Nationale blog.
The show’s live now, and there’s an opening reception this Friday August 14 from 6-9 PM with the fabulous Bob Jones (Evolutionary Jass Band, Better Homes & Gardens, and on and on) who will play not bass but viola. Very good.
