The Visual Chronicle of Portland is a city- owned collection of paintings, drawings, prints and photographs that portray the vitality of the city in its many aspects through time. This unique portrait of Portland is both a vivid historical record and an archivally protected art collection intended to grow indefinitely. Initiated in 1984 at the urging of Dutch expatri ate and Portland artist Henk Pander, the Visual Chronicle of Portland is now entering its ninth year, and the collection’s selection committee has drawn up a list of topics which it be lieves would help to round out the Chronicle in the years ahead. They in clude: the city’s nightlife, the music scene, coffee culture, ethnic folkways, youth culture, families, neighborhoods (especially those that are undergoing change), athletic events, city parks, reli gion (especially the mixture of religion and politics) and anything to do with environmental issues. • The committee is keenly interested in artists recording aspects of the city that will shortly disappear. Artists are invited to su bmit slides of existing work for direct purchase and/or proposals for a commis sion. Five thousand dollars is doled out by the Metropolitan Arts Commission. The deadline is Tuesday, Feb. 1. For an application, call 823-4196, or stop by the MAC headquarters in the Portland Building, 1120 SW 5th Ave., Room 1023. If you think that soldiers look hot in their fatigues, if a rubber-coated firefighter makes you bum with desire, if the TV show “Cops ’ has replaced your porno library, you won’t want to miss Portland Uniform Weekend II, Jan. 14 through 17. The American Uniform Association, a 16-year-old international club for uniform enthu siasts, is com ing to town for a weekend chock-full of events, with a grand uniform party on Satur day, Jan. 15, from 9 pm to 1 am at the Port land Eagle (1300 W Burnside St.). From law en forcement to the military to service uni forms, the weekend promises to be a kaleidoscopic extravaganza for all who participate. Miss Hunt looks longingly at her British soldier’s coat, and then at her dental assis tant uniform, and, once again, is stunned by her options! Don’t miss it! For more information, call 228-6935 between 11 am and 8 pm. Is Oaks Park homo heaven? A 20th-century music concert not to be missed You may recall reading a story earlier this fall about the Franconia Skating Center in Fairfax County, Virginia. Janel Brooks’ 24th birthday fiesta turned sour when skating officials forced a lesbian couple off the floor during a “couples only” session. Needless to say, a local chapter of the Lesbian Avengers weren’t too happy to get this news of rampant homophobia. So they sponsored an action. Fifty gay men and lesbians went to the rink to skate. Then they began to hold hands. Then some began kissing while they were skating. It wasn’t until the couples-only session that the man agement cracked down. Queer couples were es corted off the floor. One queer protested, saying, “I paid to skate and I’m going to skate.” As the activists were taking off their skates, they chanted, “We’re here, we’re queer, we’ll be back.” Fear not, skating afficianados of Portland! You can feel safe, confident and secure when you step out onto Portland’s own Oaks Park Skating R ink. The Rosetown Ramblers—a square dance club serving Portland’s gay and lesbian community— invites the lesbian and gay community and its friends for an evening of rollerskating on Monday, Jan. 17, from 7:30 to 9:30 pm. It costs $5, and all skaters are encouraged to bring a canned food donation for a local area AIDS service organiza tion. There are more artistic options in this city than Miss Hunt can handle. One concert no one should miss is Fear No Music 20th Century Music Ensemble’s concert highlighted by work dedi cated to people living with AIDS on Friday, Jan. 21, at 8 pm at the Old Church (SW 11th Avenue and Clay). The concert will feature a bevy of “cutting edge” compositions, inclu-ding works by John Adams (who composed the opera Nixon in China), Ar-vo Part and William O. Smith. Of particular note is the work Om Shanli by Se-attle composer Janice Gl-teck. Gitcck has received commissions from the San Francisco Symphony, the Seattle Men’s Chorus and the California Arts Council, among others. Written in 1986 and dedi cated to people living with AIDS, Om Shanli ranges from furious dance rhythms to transcendent repetitions of the word shanli (peace). Tickets are $9 adults, $6 students and senior citizens, and are available at the door.
