Last Days of August Two institutional shows open today. If you're looking for some late summer
art-ing, this is the perfect opportunity. Plus, if you're dying to beat the
heat, chances are good they're air conditioned...
 Mapping SittingAt the Cooley Gallery, Mapping Sitting: On Portraiture & Photography, an installation by Walid Raad and Akram Zaatari, curated from the archives of the Arab Image Foundation in Beirut, Lebanon. "Raad and Zaatari reveal how Arab portrait photography not only pictured individuals and groups, but also functioned as commodity, luxury item, and adornment... Collectively, the photographs convey pluralistic and dynamic Middle Eastern communities through the lenses of indigenous photographers—images far different from photos of the region circulating widely today in the popular press." August 22nd through September 30th Cooley Gallery at Reed College • 3203 SE Woodstock Blvd • Tel. 503.771.1112 David Eckard (PNCA faculty and artist) presents a new body of installation-based work, Heroes and Apparitions. "Specter, fictive recollection, temporal marker, arrested gesture and the potential theatrics dormant in articulated space." In Eckard fashion, it should involve some innovative apparatus and unusual machinery. August 22nd through October 15th Manuel Izquierdo Gallery at PNCA • 1241 NW Johnson St. • Tel. 503.226.4391 Posted by Jennifer Armbrust on August 22, 2005 at 0:11 | Comments (0) Comments Post a comment Thanks for signing in, .
