Into the Land, Out of Language

Adam Sorensen, "Tabernacle," 2011

PAM's APEX series continues with recent work by Adam Sorensen. "Meticulously executed landscape paintings shimmer with natural and neon-like colors... these images are harbingers of environmental degradation, with some paintings suggesting global warming and a resulting glacial meltdown."

Sorensen combines sugar pop luminescence with the zigzagging planes and sheer grading of ukiyo-e. You can see a side by side in October when PAM opens The Artist's Touch, The Craftsman's Hand: Three Centuries of Japanese Prints.

Exhibition • September 3 - January 1, 2012
Portland Art Museum • 1219 SW Park • 503.226.2811

from "Out of language"

Josh Smith and Jenene Nagy meld minds in Out of language, their first artistic collaboration. The curatorial duo is known for ambitious programming at Tilt, Project Space and TILT: Export, but now they explore "ideas of the unknown, duality and structure" at Linfield Gallery. The exhibit includes individual works as well as their first joint piece.

Opening reception • 2-4pm • September 3
Linfield Gallery • 900 SE Baker St, McMinnville, OR • Miller Fine Arts Center • 503.883.2804
