A Portrait of Oregon A Portrait of Oregon, an exhi bition of black and white photo graphs by local artists, is the pre mier offering of Eugene's newest art space, The Gelhan Gallery. Larry Gellert and Grant Handgis, the founders, are attempting to create a space and market for fine quality silver and platinum proc ess photographs. In doing so, one might think they were hauling a load of coals to Newcastle. Eugene has long been a gathering place for practi tioners of what is called West Coast photography: use of a large camera to make direct, unmanipu lated images of subject matter, often the western landscape. With so much emphasis on this style, one wonders why devote more space to it. The answer is that most other area galleries often seek photo graphers from much further afield, both geographically and stylistically. Thus local artists are often left stranded without honor in their own land. The Gelhan Gallery still leaves many voids, however, such as the need for local color and experimental pho tographers to have regular display space. One of the main criticisms lev eled at West Coast photography has been its tendency to be so pre occupied with technical perfection of the process as to shut out emo tion. This exhibit exemplifies this problem quite clearly. Although there is a wide range of quality, the main emphasis has been directed towards achieving a level of perfection similar to the late Ansel Adams. For example, Chris Depee's aspens and E.K. Vlike's water on a leaf are beautiful in both con ception and execution. The latter is a more complex image than most in the show, but one still feels it has been done before. The same can be said about most of the other works, although the quality of the prints varies widely from flat and lifeless to near per fection. One of the great gaps in this "portrait" is the lack of people. There have been many examples of fine portraiture done in this style, most notably by Edward Weston. But one has a feeling that the need to control the image totally has pushed unpredictable humans literally out of the pic ture. One welcomes- David Charles Dupree's snow covered landscape not only for its beauty, but for the horse. A sign of life in an otherwise still and inanimate world. Both the show and gallery are commendable first steps twoards gaining a greater exposure for photography. Let us hope it suc ceeds and broadens to encompass ever wider areas of quality photo graphic work. The Gelhan Gallery is located in Room 208 in the Tiffany Building (next to Original Joe's) with hours 9-5 Monday through Friday, and 10-5 on Saturday and Sunday. A Portrait of Oregon will be on display through July 13. —Dan Welton 'Wearable Art' Makes Eugene Debut Two local women, Gena Hut ton and Camille Cole, are intro ducing their line of fashions at a premier showing, June 30 to July 2. Under the label Gemille, each piece is an "original, hand-painted work of art, hand-signed and one of a kind." Paper Traders Annex in the Fifth Street Public Market, where the show will be held, is the ex clusive Eugene outlet for their complete line of women’s and men's clothing, which they plan to market nationally. Radio Drama Actor Richard Dreyfuss stars in Robert Heinlein's By His Boot straps, a radio drama presented by the National Radio Theatre Repertory Company, and airing on KWAX FM 91 on Saturday, June 30, at 6 pm. In this science-fiction/mystery/ comedy, the author of Stranger in a Strange Land explores the para dox of time travel. Grad student Bob Wilson (Dreyfuss) is surpris ed by a stranger who has some how entered his locked room. The stranger promises Bob power and glory—if he will only step 20,000 years into the future. When he does, Bob meets a whole set of odd characters, al most all of whom turn out to be ... himself. Radio Rep is a regular program on KWAX FM 91, the Univ. of Oregon's classical music station. Book Review: The Feud By Thonuis Berger, Delucorte Press. 1^83. The Feud is a wickedly tunny view of small town life in the 1930s, of the attitudes and life styles which shaped the American character. Thomas Berger, who's a skillful observer with a keen ear for the spoken language and one of the best writers around, bril liantly recreates the inhabitants of small town America of the thir ties, depicting them with the same dark humor he brought to his earlier novel. Little Big Mun. From the opening exchange in a hardware store between a surly customer and a smart-mouthed kid, Berger's unheroic characters go wrong at every turn. These ig norant, bigoted, narrow-minded and self-serving people (who are also insecure, vulnerable, and child-like) reveal traits which con flict with our image of ourselves as Americans and as individuals. The uncensored thought-proc esses of the characters in The Feud illustrate ingrained aspects of American behavior. Most readers feel a special affec tion for a writer who makes us laugh at ourselves, and we esteem those who make us think as well, like Thomas Berger. His irreverent humor arises from profound in sights into our collective shadow, the respository for all the awk ward, banal, nerdy stuff we have "left behind." Berger's bittersweet humor and talent for observation, like Kurt Vonnegut's, adds intelli gence and intuition to our self awareness. —Lois Wadsworth astRolOGy George Warren 345-8818 Video Your Memories Record that special event and relive the happiness over & over. 345-3696 • Weddings • Births • Productions • Outtings • Parties PANDA PRODUCTIONS "PRIICE 1 /TUCKLER’S Eugene’s Own Gourmet Ice Cream PAIICE FCKLERS ICE CREAM & COFFEE PARLOUR SUMMER SPECIALS Mondays: 14 oz. soft drink 25C Tuesdays: 99c Hot Fudge Sundaes Wednesdays: Frozen Yogurt Specials Thursdays: Kid’s Day (specials for children 14 & under) Fridays: 20% off Handpacked Ice Cream Saturdays: 25c coffee all day Sun.
