Second Weekend Picks July 2011

hughes-lightbeams1.jpg
Laura Hughes, "Untitled (Light Beams I)"

Gallery Homeland presents Body of Knowledge Part I: Vision, which "seeks to exhibit and examine the evidence of the continual process of searching, synthesizing, and learning." Body of Knowledge is a 3-part series curated by Research Club and hosted by Gallery Homeland. Featured artists in Vision include Laura Hughes, Michael Iauch, Vanessa Kaufman, and Bradley Streeper.

Opening reception • 6-9pm • July 8
Gallery Homeland • 2505 SE 11th #136 • info@galleryHOMELAND.org


Poemophone-Noiseless.jpg
Tracy Cockrell

Worksound presents Poemophone, "a cacophonous collaboration, reading and performance series." Artist Tracy Cockrell repurposed old typewriters to create a series of sound sculptures that "explore the poetics of making meaning, playing with compositional strategies at the intersection of linguistics, literature, experimental music, and sculpture." These typewriters were distributed nationally to visual artists, writers, and musicians, who converged on Portland to record together during the installation at Worksound.

Opening reception • 7-10pm • July 8
Worksound • 820 SE Alder • mojomodou@gmail.com


lunation.jpg
Glitterheart

Nationale presents Lunation, an installation by Glitterheart, which is a collaboration between Jess Hirsch and Emma Lipp. July is the only month this year that includes a full "lunation" (complete lunar cycle between two moons), so the pair is exploring the popularly-held belief that the moon's tides affect our bodies. Lunation will create "a cosmic landscape of astrological influences where geology merges with physiology, and performance and installation weave into ethereal layers of soil, skin, and rock."

Opening reception • 6-9pm • July 8
Performance 1 • 7pm • July 9
Performance 2 • 11am • July 10
Nationale • 811 E Burnside Ste 112 • 503.477.9786


YU Contemporary is hosting an open house on Saturday afternoon. Leaders of the project will lead a public tour of the space, with refreshments.

Open house • 4-7pm • July 9
YU Contemporary • 800 SE 10th • 503.236.7996
