First Friday Picks April 2009

Matt King, "Tater"

Matt King's Science Diet is at Fourteen30 this month: "Seductive and sickening, King's recent sculptures aggressively assert their position as commodity while questioning the relationships between desire, comfort and the complicity that keeps the system in place. King reconstitutes the images and objects of a marketed culture in ways that reorient their latent meanings. His banal and pleasurable source materials - dollar store items, height indicator strips, drinking straws, and even cat food - feel both unexpected and significant."

Opening reception • 6-9pm • April 3
Fourteen30 Contemporary • 1430 SE 3rd • 503.236.1430

TILT: Export, the roving curatorial project that emerged from the former Tilt Gallery and Project Space, presents Approximate at Gallery Homeland, featuring new work by Damien Gilley and Ethan Rose. The artists worked collaboratively to "identify, alter, and enhance [the] nuances" of the gallery space, acknowledging it as a place of "social, auditory, or historical" convergence.

Opening reception • 6-9pm • April 3
Gallery Homeland • 2505 SE 11th • info@galleryhomeland.org


prettyvacant.jpg

Worksound presents Pretty Vacant, a group show curated by Tim Janchar. "Pretty is as pretty does," featuring artists from Portland, Seattle, San Francisco, and Cleveland.

Opening reception • 7pm • April 3
Worksound • 820 SE Alder • mojomodou@gmail.com

Angela Cash

In conjunction with Photolucida, Pushdot presents Insomnia, a photography exhibition by Angela Cash. Recreating the "nightly trials" of insomniacs, Cash captures the haunting loneliness of passing the time as sleep eludes her subjects.

Opening reception • 6-9pm • April 3
Pushdot Studio • 1021 SE Caruthers • 503.224.5925


claptuta.jpg
Christine Laptuta

Christine Laptuta presents Panoramics at Newspace. The show is a collection of continuous frames on a long strip of film, shot with a Holga camera. Laptuta uses the unpredictability of the Holga to access a more "intuitive" approach to photography.

Opening reception • 7-10pm • April 3
Newspace Center for Photography • 1632 SE 10th • 503.963.1935
