Ellen George's Broadcast

Tonight PORT's own Jeff Jahn opens his latest curatorial endeavor, Fresh Trouble. Much coverage has already been given to this biennial-style exhibtion, including write-ups in the Oregonian and Ultra. You would be foolish to miss this independent exhibition which features a slew of talented (mostly younger) artists from around the globe. FT occupies a 10,000 square foot warehouse for 2 weeks to "highlight artists who bravely seek to change or redefine the world they live in even if it is similar to the effects of butterfly wings kicking up storms farther away. Some are primarily ironists who point out areas that lack of change but require it; others are visionaries who make objects that lift one above the everyday experience and effect change one viewer at a time." The exciting roster includes China's Cao Fei with her West Coast debut of cosplayers, Jack Daws (Seattle), Matthew Picton (PDX), Ellen George (PDX), Chandra Bocci (PDX), Laura Fritz (PDX), Matt McCormick (PDX), Sean Healy (PDX), PORT's Katherine Bovee with husband Philippe Blanc (PDX) and so many more.
