Eva Lake, "Target 46"

Augen DeSoto presents Eva Lake's Targets. Inspired by the nostalgia craze of Hollywood glamor, Lake's "Babes in the Target" are a conversation about "what a woman artist's life [is] like - she makes objects but she's also the object. The conversation is as much about her, her body, how she looks and how sexy she is - as it is her work."

Opening reception • 5-8:30pm • June 3

Storm Tharp at PDX Contemporary

PDX Contemporary presents Storm Tharp's Hercules, a series of drawings that "reflect a desire to observe philosophy and to encounter perfection - to be enlightened. The maximal and decorated inclinations are in question. The labor and the effort are being weighed. Representation is scrutinized and the desire to explore the formlessness of abstraction is pursued."

Opening reception • 6-8pm • June 3

Wid B. Vicious, "Flight," installed at Chambers@916

Chambers@916 presents Wid B. Vicious works the room. Featuring two wall-size installations, "organic shapes and sweeping curves cover the walls, seeming to force their way through the floor and ceiling - a painting that wants to become a sculpture, framed for a moment, but not contained." (Full disclosure: This blogger works at Chambers@916.) This is the second month of the exhibition, featuring the unveiling of Flight on the west wall.

Artist reception • 6-9pm • June 3

Brad Adkins, from "Romance," installed at Pulliam

PDX Across the Hall (at Pulliam) presents Brad Adkins's Romance, featuring large-scale sculptures and text-based works in both neon and vinyl. "Influenced by the Conceptual and Minimal art of the 1970s, Adkins imbues the vernacular with a sense of whimsy and allure, lending an off-kilter aura to the objects we most often perceive as banal."
