Second Weekend Picks September 2010

worksoundsept.jpg

Worksound presents a 3-part exhibition: Kim Donaldson's Trash'N'Treasure, Michael Zheng's The Distance Between You and Me, and Laura Fritz's Intrus. "Kim Donaldson in an artist and curator who exhibits widely in Australia and internationally...San Francisco-based conceptual artist Michael Zheng was born and grew up in China...his work often takes the form of situational intervention, sculpture or performance...Portland-based Laura Fritz may well be one of the West Coast's most mysterious video/installation artists, known for employing light to simultaneously fascinate and repulse viewers."

Opening reception • 6-9pm • September 11
Worksound • 820 SE Alder • mojomodou@gmail.com

Mark de Kok

Gallery Homeland presents AIR by visiting Dutch artist Mark de Kok. During his residency in Portland, de Kok created a site-specific installation for Gallery Homeland: "Using minimalist hanging metal sculptures, de Kok created time-lines or drawings within space that can be perceived and interpreted in multiple ways based on the vantage point of the viewer...Each piece, stretching to the ceiling, reveals itself to each individual standing below. Through these many vantage points, the works commands intimacy for Gallery Homeland's new show AIR."

Opening reception • 6-9pm • September 10
Gallery Homeland • 2505 SE 11th • info@galleryhomeland.org

Henk Pander

Disjecta presents Henk Pander's Maryalice Paintings. The paintings in the exhibition explore Pander's close relationship with his granddaughter, who lived with him and his wife until she was 12. Meagan Atiyeh organized the exhibition after visiting Pander in his studio and noting, "I immediately found these paintings so compelling. Henk's work is traditionally highly composed and refined. These paintings of Maryalice had a more immediately expressive, gestural quality, perhaps due in part to the difficulty of getting a young girl, then teenager, to sit for a portrait." The exhibition will run September 11 - October 16, 2010.

Opening reception • 6-10pm • September 11
Disjecta • 8371 N Interstate • 503.286.9449
