Art in Context
Portland Open Studios offers self-directed tours
of 100 artists’ spaces
Ever wonder just how an artist arts, er, creates? Portland Open Studios
is your chance to get up close and personal with 100 of the metro area’s
most talented folks in an annual exploration—and intersection—of art
and commerce.
Map in hand, via hard copy or handy iPhone app, attendees visit artists
at their leisure, within the context of the creative space. But POS isn’t just
a self-directed experience, it’s an interactive one. Tour-goers can don up-
cycled wearable fashion, watch molten glass or fine porcelain get morphed
into a vessel, visualize a landscape moments before it’s realized in paint
and peer through layers of silk-screened band posters.
O f particular note for the 2011 lineup, selected by an independent jury
panel including Mark Woolley, are LGBTQ_artists Angela Gay, Richard
Brandt, Dan Pillers,Therese Murdza and David Horste.
A Radical Faerie and self-professed “rogue lapidary,” Horste began cut
ting stones when he was 10 and has worked full-time in the field for al
most 20 years, using nontraditional and recycled materials to create jew
eled sculptures of sorts.
And from Gay’s abstract oil textures to Brandt’s post-industrial clay
“artifacts from the future,” the found objects, text and childhood myths of
Pillers’ shadow boxes to the vibrant mixed-media of Murdza’s canvases,
POS has something for every inquisitive eye.
Supporting the arts has rarely felt so intimate.
Oct. 8-9 and 15-16, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.; locations vary; $15 fo r full-color tour
guide or iPhone app, $5 fo r map-only ticket includes two adults, fr ee fo r chil
dren under 18; portlandopenstudios.com.
