Fourteen30 presents DARK: A SHOW TO WINTER, curated by the Blood Rainbow Family. "Opening during the dead of a Portland winter, Dark will include work that addresses and/or reflects this outside environment. [The street.] The grim, the cold and the black will mingle with the solitary, the contemplative and the transcendent. Explorations of dark and winter drawn from both a common visual culture, as well as more personal voids, will work together to bring the vast, seemingly endless dark winter into the confines of the gallery space." Featured artists include Sebastian Gogel, Matthew Green, Frank Haines | Francis Heinzfeller, Alex Hubbard, Arnold Kemp, Alicia Love McDaid, Thomas Moecker, Jo Nigoghossian, Sven Stuckenschmidt, and Molly Vidor.

Kurtis Lofstrom, "Dissolution"

Gallery Homeland presents Kendra Larson + Kurtis Lofstrom. Larson's paintings are "a discovery of an unforeseen sense of place and a questioning of perception." Lofstrom hand-tears the paper he uses in his collages, stripping them of original context and bringing them down to their bare, physical characteristics - formal elements of color and pattern.

Corey Smith

Worksound presents !Obsolete Dreams by former-Portlander, currently LA-based artist Corey Smith. "In !Obsolete Dreams, Smith confronts the hulking physicality of these useless masters of dreams and death: Cold-War stealth bombers, moon shuttles, astronauts, the unholy engine fueled by the American flag. Smith makes them according to their own dream logic, that alien symbolism of deflective curve and angle that is both perfect and perfectly incomprehensible to the life that is always right here in front of us."

Charles Mintz, "Shovel"

23 Sandy presents New Directions 2010, Down + Out, a traveling exhibition organized by Seattle's wall space gallery and juried by Carol McCusker, Curator of Photography at the Museum of Photographic Arts in San Diego. Playing off of art historian Albert Boime's concept of the "magisterial gaze," the exhibition seeks to challenge our notions of our visual landscape. Forty-two photographers from around the globe will be featured, including four Portlanders: Chris Bennett, Heidi Bertman, Jeffrey Krolick and Duc Ly.
