Vection essay unveiling

Canopy2_sm.jpg
Canopy by Jeff Jahn (2010)

There will a review of an interesting young artist later today but first just a little notice...

I'll be unveiling the finished version of my essay "Vection" for the exhibition of the same name tomorrow at 3:30 at the NAAU gallery. The show has been incredibly well received (thanks Huffington Post, and other press etc.) and yes it's the last weekend. This version 2.0 is a significant rewrite from the other versions I've been work shopping during the run of the show.

The essay itself isn't just about the Vection exhibition and explores a thread of work that has been very prominent in Portland over the past decade (always the curator critic). Lately, this thread has gelled into a definable combination of design (eco, livability, humanistic, architecture), nature and installation art. There will be a reading and for those hard core art geeks an opportunity to talk art more one on one about what is going on.

Vection is open from 12-5 today, Saturday and Sunday is the last day
