I'm back and I have two addenda to the picks list:


Larry Sultan, "Swimming Lessons"

Photographer Larry Sultan died on December 13, 2009, at the age of 63. For the month of April, a selection of original photographs from Sultan's 1981 Blue Sky exhibition, Swimming Lessons, will be on display in Blue Sky's Library and Resource Center. Sultan created this series of underwater images between 1978 and 1981 by submerging himself in a swimming pool and holding his breath until he took each picture.

Opening reception • 6-9pm • April 1
Blue Sky Gallery • 122 NW 8th Ave • 503.225.0210



Karl Burkheimer

Doppler presents Higher Ground, an exhibition by Karl Burkheimer, in which he "investigates his interest in the space, real or perceived, between the object of contemplation and the object of utility. Using the gallery as his architectural reference, Burkheimer created objects within the space as points of exchange with the public."

Opening reception • 5:30-9pm • April 1
