First Friday Picks May 2008

Joe Glasgow at Newspace
Joe Glasglow

Newspace presents Peripheral Vision by the Inner Light Group. Founded in 1986 by Shedrich Williames, the photography group now includes over 20 members working in a wide variety of styles. This exhibition explores the physical and metaphorical possibilities when considering our visual periphery: "Does it exist only in the mind of the photographer? Or is seeing with peripheral vision a physical process that keeps one alert to all that may be happening in the corners and around the edges of an image."

Opening reception • 6-9pm • May 2
Newspace Center for Photography • 1632 SE 10th AVE • 503.963.1935


Chris Bennett at Pushdot
Chris Bennett, "Ruby Ranch"

Chris Bennett is exhibiting his new series Broken Cinema at Pushdot this month. The dark, melancholic images are his "private internal response to [his] external experience, moving across lonely unpopulated American landscapes."

Opening reception • 6-9pm • May 2
Pushdot Studio • 1021 SE Caruthers St. • 503.224.5925


j. otto siebold at grass hut
J. Otto Siebold

Well known children's book illustrator J. Otto Siebold is coming to Grass Hut this month. He's been working inside the gallery, utilizing spray paint, brushes, graffiti pens, cameras, and... "a crappy old drum set to thrash around with." The work will definitely be interesting, but the question remains: Can his independent work compare with the quality of his illustrations?

Opening reception • 6-9pm • May 2
Grass Hut Gallery • 811 E Burnside • 503.445.9924

John R. Stahl, "Conversation Series"

A 1971 graduate of PAM's Museum Art School (which has since branched off and become PNCA), John R. Stahl has been exhibiting in and outside of the NW for nearly forty years. This month, he is showing Three Decades, a selection of work that goes all the way back to his earliest Portland shows.

Opening reception • 6-9pm • May 2
12x16 Gallery • 8235 SE 13th AVE Suite 5 •l 503.432.3513
