I (finally!) dropped by Pacific Switchboard for the first time this weekend. It's a great space located in the Albina Press with an inspired studio attached. They have been hosting regular shows for quite a while now but since I've never called the Northeast "home", I've been shamefully in the dark. When I stopped in there wasn't anything on the walls because they are preparing for their next exhibition Dedicated to You: a show for Ex-Lovers, "a night of rememberance, catharsis, and awkwardness dedicated to those with which we have been so intimate." Ah yes, lust, sweet lust. There will be artwork, movies, love songs, mix tapes, performance and an anonymous confessional booth for those still healing a heartbreak. Who knows, maybe you'll meet someone special...

Featuring works by Jen Kruch, Charles Salas-Humara, Alicia McDaid, Mike Miller, Anna Simon, Cynthia Star, Paige Saez, Zak Margolis, Matthew Yake, Ruby Fitch, Elina Tuhkanen, Amy Steel, Ashley Shabo, Tara Jane O'neil, Matthew Hein, Jennifer Gleach, Thandi Rosenbaum, Tracy Olson, Emily Henderson, Daphna Kohn and Jeff Brown, Michelle Klein, Courtney Nyman, Gretchen Hogue, Molly Roth, Emily Henderson, Gretchen Vaudt, Fred Nemo, and more.
