Guardino Gallery Presenting The Work
of Thomas J. Botkin and Joe Macca
eturning to a two person show
format, the G uardino Gallery
will be presenting the work o f
artists, Thom as J. Botkin and Joe
M acca, both from MFA program at
Portland State U niversity. An open­
ing reception will be held for the art­
ists on Art on A lberta’s Last T hurs­
day, January 2 8 ,6 to 9 pm.
Thom as J. Botkin will be showing
c o n c re te sc u lp tu res, “ flip s” and
“ flops” as he calls them “Flips” are
m ade o f concrete poured into m olds
and then flipped over to reveal the
texture and sm oothness o f the m ate­
rial. A “ flop” is a more organic free
form sculpture, resembling lava flows.
Botkin was bom in Korea and raised
in the United States. Through his
w ork he has explored his heritage by
creating Z en rock gardens and sculp­
ture that could have been produced
by volcanic forces. The familiarity o f
concrete m akes it easy to overlook,
but Botkins sculptures elevate it in
the aesthetic eye.
Joe M acca uses acrylic and dry-
wall com pound on canvas and vari­
ous surfaces, all in a sm all format.
Som e o f his painting are no larger
than 3" X 5" and up to 9 1/2" X 10".
His paintings are sym bolic o f por­
tals, w indow s or doorw ays. He calls
them “ intim ate w indow s, transitions
R
from one place to another place.”
The G uardino G allery is located at
2939 A lberta Street (the com er o f
two
Alberta and 30th). The Gallery is open
everyday, but Monday. Call for hours

tor for Policy and Legislation for

invited to attend.
M oving to W ork D em onstration:

C olum bia V illa/T am arack C om m u-
nity Room , 9811 N. W oolsey, P ort­
land, OR.
H A P is pleased to announce the
start o f a five-year dem onstration
program designed to increase effi­
ciency and benefit residents sub­
stantially. T aking advantage o f de­
re g u la tio n o p p o rtu n itie s, H A P ’s
M oving to W ork dem onstration will
allow the agency to reduce costs,
freeing up funds to expand self-su f­
ficiency and housing choice oppor­
tunities for its residents.
“The biggest challenge that we
face is actually to reduce costs w ith­
out reducing service. It’s one thing
to say that w e are but quite another
thing to actually do so,” said D enny
W est, H A P E x ec u tiv e D irector.
"L ittle did w e know , w hen we started
o ver tw o years ago, that this w ould
be such an intense and dem anding
experience. It has been a challenge
for both H U D and H A P to think out
o f a decades old box.
Scheduled to speak a the press
conference are Sen. M arkO . Hatfield,
H A P E xecu tiv e D irec to r D enny
W est, H A P B oard C h air H ow ard
Shapiro, S ection 8 L andlord Sharon
Flem ing-B arrett and a participant in
H A P ’s self-sufficiency (G O A LS)
program . Rod Solom on, H U D ’s Se­
nior D irector for Policy and L egisla­
tion for Public and Indian H ousing
has been invited to attend.
The concept o f the M oving to
W ork dem onstration resulted from
Sen. M ark O. H atfie ld 's efforts to
deregulate federal program s and to
stim ulate local creativity. The sena­
to r jo in e d w ith federal and state of­
ficials in creating T he O regon O p­
tion, a m em orandum o f understand­
ing that allow ed flexibility w ithout
regulation in m eeting m any social
service needs. The O regon O ption
program s w ere evaluated through a
series ofbench m ark s. Sen. H atfield
also sponsored a sim ilar concept in
T he L ocal E m pow erm ent and F lex­
ibility A ct o f 1995. In 1996, the M ov­
ing to W ork dem onstration carried
these concepts to federal housing
program s.
HAP subm itted its M oving to
W ork proposal to the H U D in 1997,
and afte r ex ten siv e scru tin y , an
agreem ent was reached on the dem ­
onstration program this week.
In preparing this proposal, HAP
focused on increasing local input in
order to m ake H A P program s re­
sponsive to local needs. N um erous
m eetin g s, d o o r-to -d o o r contacts,
and presentations took p lace w ithin
