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.

TRASHED @ 35: Willamette Week 35th Anniversary Art Show at Backspace

Portland Artist Klutch paints up Willamette Week Newspaper Box

Portland Art Show Opening, First Thursday, November 5th, 2009 starts at 5:30pm (Show closes Nov. 30, 2009)
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.

Fontanelle Gallery – 205 SW Pine Street Portland OR 97204

Fontanelle Gallery is pleased to present Queer Gaze, a group photography exhibition featuring images of queer people by queer photographers. This show offers a new examination and response to theories of “male gaze”, as originally described by Laura Mulvey as the cinematic depiction of voyeurism and objectification of a female by a heterosexual male viewer. Queer Gaze explores the gaze from woman to woman or queer to queer, as well as the way that many photographers use their own visage or that of their friends to subvert traditional expectations of portraiture.

Exhibiting artists include Sarah Baley (Brooklyn), Erica Beckman (Brooklyn), Tammy Rae Carland (Oakland), Zackary Drucker (LA) & A.L. Steiner (Brooklyn), Luke Gilford (LA), Grit Hachmeister (Berlin), Megan Holmes (PDX), Angela Jimenez (Brooklyn), Molly Landreth (Seattle), Amos Mac (San Francisco), Finn Paul (PDX), Emily Roysdon (NYC/Stockholm), Lorenzo Triburgo (PDX), and Azsa West (PDX).
Queer Gaze will be on view at Fontanelle Gallery through November 28, 2009 during open hours, Wednesday through Saturday, noon to six pm.
BIG GAY PARTY: Thurs., November 19th, 2009 at 8pm, Play/Start will perform along with other artists TBA.

Club Sesso – 824 SW 1st Avenue, Portland, OR 97204

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.
