Shelley Chamberlin, James Gallagher.Heidi Kirkpatrick, Eva Lake, Shawn Long, Eric Rue, Jenny Strayer and the awesome Philip Iosca (who is one to watch).

Nothing is Lost at Newspace

Nothing is Lost is collaborative photography installation by Mariana Tres, one of our favorite former Portlanders (she got great university position in Bloomington Indiana but is always coming back). Tres sent out disposable cameras to 33 people including an Israeli soldier, a postal worker in Indiana, an astrophysicist in Seattle, an eight year-old girl, a journalist in Argentina, a meditation leader in Philadelphia and other random friends and strangers across the U.S. to investigate human experience and inspire a collective reading of our lives through photographs.
Opening Reception • 7-10pm • March. 2-31
