First Friday Picks December 2008

AlexanderHerzog-picture10.jpg
Alexander Herzog, "picture 10"

Alexander Herzog presents I Found the Cure at 32 at Gallery Homeland. He writes that his work is "a collision of cultural anthropology and phenomenological experience." Extrapolating many formal elements from the history of painting, Herzog "pushes and pulls the segments of the image into space."

Opening reception • 6-9pm • December 5
Gallery Homeland • 2505 SE 11th • info@galleryhomeland.org

Bailey Winters, "Overthrow"

For one night only, come see Bailey Winters' installation at NAAU. Winters' paintings capture single frames from his own films and staged photographs. For Class, he utilizes rich colors to contrast with "the otherwise sober subject of social standing set in an older undefined time." This is a one night break from Couture - NAAU will be closed for most of December for the next installation.

One night exhibition • 7-10pm • December 5
New American Art Union • 922 SE Ankeny • 503.231.8294


vantram.jpg
"Vantram," from INLINE

Celebrating a year and a half in their space, Worksound present INLINE, an eclectic combination of performances, installations, interventions, drawings, and gestural paintings. Featured artists include Steven Beatty, Dorian Pemble Belkin, Andrea Fellers, Sara Cella, and Kelly Seeman.

Opening reception • 6:30pm • December 5
Worksound • 820 SE Alder • mojomodou@gmail.com


zakmargolis.jpg
Zak Margolis

Pushdot Studio presents You Were a Perfect Gentleman by Zak Margolis. The drawings are an element of Margolis' larger project, Moonbabies, a multi-narrative animation that borrow from Roman mythology, exploring three generations leading to the birth of the moonbabies, twins born from a wolf.

Opening reception • 6-9pm • December 5
Pushdot Studio • 1021 SE Caruthers • 503.224.5925
