Streetwise, a continuance of last months exploration of our very own Rose City, featuring Portland artist Chris Haberman in conjunction with p:ear youth artists, persists with new pieces and live music. Haberman’s interpretations escalate with originality, catching the eye with his confidence in color and dynamic use of space. Integrated with p:ear youth artists creates an epic infusion of perspective, strength, and perception striking curiosity as they give shape to every day life in Portland, Oregon.
p:ear youth are 15-24 year old homeless or transitional young people that attend the educational, artistic and recreational programs at p:ear. They work independently and with guest artists, working with available materials, to create work that is expressive, vibrant and healing.

Backspace – 115 NW 5th Ave., Portland, Oregon
To help celebrate Willamette Week’s 35th anniversary, WW asked some of Portland’s hottest emerging and iconic artists to turn their newspaper covers into new pieces of art in their own unique styles. They got the idea from local artist Klutch (Vinyl Killers), whose “remixed” WW covers caught their eye and inspired them to invite other artists to try their hand at using, well, us, as a medium. Trashed @ 35 features Klutch’s work, as well as WW-inspired art by Brett Superstar, Dan Gilsdorf, J. Shea, Alexis Mollomo, Josh Arseneau, Chris Haberman, Tripper Dungan, Pedro Dorsey, Jason Graham, Lydia Crumbley, Eve Lake and Tom Cramer among others. Come meet the artists, check out their kick-ass work, and toast WW at the crusty old age of 35 at the show’s First Thursday opening.
Willamette Week Newspaper Box was done by Portland artist Klutch for the art show.

Mr. Kaiser’s work features the nude form in black and white film, color film, Polaroid, digital and pinhole media. Kaiser states, “I am a firm believer that creating an image with the sole purpose in mind of making something beautiful is a worthy goal in the world of art . . . The final image, much like real life, should be allowed to come to a fluid and natural result.” Kaiser’s award-winning work has been seen in solo and group exhibitions in Germany, New York, and various shows around the Pacific Northwest. Kaiser has also been the Editor and Chief of Luminous Magazine and The New Nude publications.
