Oscar-nominated director Markus Imhoof's film More than Honey opens during the 1st Portland EcoFilm Festival. It tackles the vexing issue of why bees, worldwide, are facing extinction. He investigates this global phenomenon, from California to Switzerland, China and Australia. Exquisite macro-photography of the bees in flight and in their hives reveals a fascinating, complex world in crisis. This is a strange and moving film that raises questions of species survival in cosmic as well as bee terms.

There will be a post-film panel discussion with Glen Andresen (Bridgetown Bees), Mulysa Melco (Sustainable Overlook), & Dr. Dewey Caron (Entomology and Apiculture (honey bee) professor & author).

Tori Abernathy


The value of a worker in our post-Fordist economy is based on his mental, rather than physical, faculties. The ability to communicate effectively in group settings and multi task is more important than whether he can lift over 50 lbs or stay detail-oriented. New concepts like the 'precariat' and the 'cognitariat' arise alongside one another. The 'cognitariat', references the typical forms of labor associated with the new class of workers. The 'precariat' references the position of the workers whose experience is marked by instability, a lack of job security, and a future of uncertainty. At the intersection of these conditions is an explosion of anxiety.

The coping mechanism employed by the American working class is an apolitical romanticism standing in for mobilization. It materializes as a lively, locked stare between neighbors, marrying for love over money,or a father reassuring his daughter that 'at the end of the day, at least we have each other'. These behavior patterns perpetuate the conditions of inequality and make us feel better about doing nothing but work. I wish there was more I could do to help is an exhibition that attempts to shed light on the reality of this anxiety while positing new methods of coping with its effects.

Tori Abernathy is an artist, educator, activist, and writer from Miami living in Portland. She is founder and co-director of RECESS, an independent arts initiative based in SE Portland. She studied art & anthropology at Reed College.

Ralph Pugay's Gymnastics Bull Attack

"FREE PEOPLE, is a group show featuring the work of twelve contemporary painters based in Portland, OR. As the title suggests these artists represent a diverse set of self-driven painting practices. Not only do each of the artists in FREE PEOPLE demonstrate the versatility that painting offers contemporary artists, but also of its continuing vitality as a form of art. Though each artist in the exhibit is stylistically distinct there exists formal and conceptual overlapping practices, subject matter and methods. To be free as an artist today means that you posses the skills to make art based on values and the ability to be conscious and responsible for the choices you make. The twelve artists in this group exhibition allow us an opportunity to learn from their freedom and be inspired by it."
