Portlanders are showing all over the planet this weekend, so once again one of the strongest art scenes in the country is coming to you so you can see some of the buzz elsewhere.


At Massachusetts' Fuller Museum, Hillary Pfeifer's s' warm looks like the best thing she has done to date.



Vladmaster, Portand's beloved viewmaster viewer master will be putting on one of her trademark performances at the Walker Art Center tonight, for their Women of Vision series.


PORT already reported on Red 76 last week in New York as well as Edie Tsong at the Mattress Factory.



Last but not least one of Portland's best photographers , Susan Seubert, will be exhibiting her silver gelatin photographs of the 'Ten Most Popular Places to Dump a Body on the Columbia River Gorge' at the Abbaye Saint-Andre, Centre d'Art Contemporain in Paris France from February 25th - June 26, 2006.

These photos were one of the highlights of the 1999 Oregon Biennial, the show that sported; Tom Cramer, Michael Knutson, Sean Healy, Brendan Clenaghen, Jacqueline Ehlis, Marty Houston, Swallow Press, Storm Tharp and Heidi Schwegler (before many of them had fully developed into the artists they are today). The 1999 OB absolutely remade Portland's scene (not to put pressure on the one currently being curated). But so far reports are encouraging, with lots of legwork and hopefully many surprises in this ever-changing but highly organized scene. Now the scene's too big and robust for any show to fully gage but it's a good opportunity for the museum to weigh in after peppering us with untold amounts of dead French art and Fabrege eggs (which have precious little to do with a city in the throws of a dynamic cultural re-imagining of itself.
