Sincerely, John Head

Sincerely, John Head is having their first solo exhibition this month at Small A. The central focus of BOX SET: Car Show is SJH's 1977 Ford Ranchero, but it is only one element of their ongoing BOX SET project. Inspired by the 1977 album Foghat Live, "the year 1977, parking lot culture and fandom," BOX SET explores the physical traces of the "ephemera of fanaticism" and the way the legacy is constructed and packaged. Previous BOX SET projects include the Studio Sessions project for PICA's 2007 TBA festival.

Opening Reception • 5-8pm • November 2

Bryson Gill

This month Jáce Gáce is exhibiting the first major exhibition of Bryson Gill's Works on Paper. Gill is more known for his large scale paintings - these more delicate landscapes capture both the stillness in any moment, and its fleeting, ephemeral nature.

Nemo Design is hosting 25 Photographers, 25 Objects, a group photography project curated by Greg Hennes. The concept is simple: 25 local photographers submitted 25 quotidian objects, Hennes distributed them randomly, and they were told to "take their best shot." The photographers include participants in the 2006 Oregon Biennial, such as Chris Bennet from Newspace, as well as a range of up-and-coming artists.

Opening Reception • 6-9pm • November 2
