Okie Dokie – New Works by Klutch
Opens Last Thursday, 5:00pm at Screaming Sky Gallery, Portland, OR

March 31 thru April 24, 2011
Conceived by Jim Hoehnle and Chris Bentzen in 2004, Hot One Inch Action is the original, one-night only show of button art, music and social interaction in Vancouver, BC. The original work of fifty different artists is presented on one inch buttons. These one inch buttons are displayed on the gallery wall and the audience is offered the opportunity to buy randomly selected buttons in mixed bags of five for $5. If the bag purchased does not have the desired button, trade with the people around you. How bad do you want that button?! That’s when the hot action starts.
This Fall, in addition to our regular Vancouver show, we’re bringing the hot action to Seattle and Portland.
Portland’s Hot One Inch Action is Thursday November 11, 2010 (8-11pm) at Backspace (115 NW 5th Ave, Portland OR). Featuring button art from APAK, Amy Jenkins, Amy Ruppel, Anna Magruder, Audrey McNamara, Brian Bump, Bryan Sculthorpe, Charlie Alan Kraft, Chris Haberman, Chrissy Ortez, Dan Osterman, Danielle Weiss, David Herrick, Erik Heumiller, Erin Nations, Erinn Hatter, Gabriel Amadeus, Griffon Jillson, Hadley Hutton, Ian Anderson, Jackie Dives, Jackson Smith, James Baker, Jennifer Mercede, Jenn Woodward, Jesse Narens, Jesse Reno, Kaitlin Sambrooke, Karl Edwards, Kasey Tararuj, Kelly Williams, Klutch, Lida Avery, Martin A.

Perry, Nicole Linde, Randall Foster, Richard Schemmerer, Robert Oreo, Rory Phillips, Santiago Uceda, Sasha, Friedman, SD Elliott, Sean Lanusse, Skye Blue, Tara Stansberry, and Zhoh Autrite Mauw.
Screaming Sky Gallery on Alberta is bringing Portland artists together this holiday season.
Opening on November 26th, 2010 and showing throughout December, Micro Brood is a group exhibition with a roster to get hot and bothered about in the midst of the cold Northwest winter.
Featuring new works from Portland artists such as Jackie Avery, Brin Levinson, Guy Burwell, J. Shea, Jamie Paul, Josh “f+” Pearce, BoRo, Justin Aerni, Nikki Peterson, Filth, Kalina Torino, Lea Barozzi, Tripper Dungan, Jack Pollock and Klutch the exhibition will showcase the creativity of the city’s low brow and new brow artists.
According to gallery owner Andria Robbins the purpose of the show is: “to shine a spotlight on a select group of artists working in Portland and offer our customers a wide variety of contemporary art.”
The scope of the show will encompass illustration, painting, photography and collectible toys from some exciting members of the local art scene including long term residents and recent transplants.
Neil M. Perry arrived in Portland just six months ago and is already finding the artist community to be welcoming and creative; “I’m thrilled to be a part of this exhibition at Screaming Sky, it’s a great space and the artists they show are of excellent caliber. Having been here a relatively short amount of time I feel lucky to be involved.”
Screaming Sky Gallery is located at 1416 NE Alberta Street, Portland, Oregon and is open Tuesday through Friday 1:30-7, Saturday 11-7 and Sunday 11:30-5pm.
The often imitated, never duplicated, OG vinyl art show, Vinyl Killers returns this October for another round of rescuing long forgotten records from the world’s landfills. This year there have been at least 6 other vinyl shows in North America alone and interest in the art form is at an all time high. After seven annual shows and several touring exhibits Vinyl Killers remains committed to staying open call, independent, D-I-Y, and free of corporate sponsorship.
Since it’s inception in 2003 Vinyl Killers has showcased well over 1000 records painted by artists from around the world. A quick glance at the VK website shows both the genres global influence and the absolutely amazing things that are being done with paint and old records. Media recognition for this innovative show includes The Art Of Rebellion 2 and Stencil Nation, and features in numerous international street art magazines and blogs. In 2005 Klutch, the founder and curator of VK, had the room that he decorated with painted records for San Francisco’s Hotel Des Arts featured in Time magazine.
Unfortunately this will be the LAST Vinyl Killers.
