Isami Ching & Garrick Imatani

UO Portland's White Box presents Songs of the Willamette River, "a multimedia exhibition exploring the themes of expedition and discovery." Artists Isami Ching (art prof at UO) & Garrick Imatani (art prof at L&C) took a 5-day journey down the Willamette in a hand-built canoe to experience the landscape in a "pre-modern" way. Together they "visualize the river as a conduit and repository for (mis)communication and myth, where poetic connections are drawn between voyage, heroic exploration and artistic discovery." The show runs September 14 - October 9, 2010.

Opening reception • 6-8pm • September 16
