Rebecca Steele and Posie Currin

NAAU presents The Image is Invisible, a collaborative installation of photography, video, and sculpture by Rebecca Steele and Posie Currin. "Using the collaboration process as a catalyst to demonstrate the exchange and transformation of ideas, The Image is Invisible looks at the way we, as individuals and as a society, combine, layer and separate meaning in every aspect of life. Steele and Currin are interested in the continuous process of recreating and deconstructing the image and the object through a practice that engages alchemical and theosophical methods."

Opening reception • 6-9pm • October 1

Friderike Heuer

Pushdot presents Friderike Heuer's (S)elective Affinities, a series inspired by Goethe's Elective Affinities (Die Wahlverwandtschaften), which was itself inspired by then-new chemical theory regarding the tendency of compounds to interact with each other in certain circumstances. "Just as Goethe's literary protagonists experiment with each other and their surroundings, I also experiment with 'affinities,' transferring subjects from one context into another." Note that Pushdot has a new location.

Opening reception • 6-9pm • October 1
Pushdot Studio • 2505 SE 11th Suite 104 • 503.224.5925



Micki Skudlarczyk and Jacomijn Schellevis

Micki Skudlarczyk and Jacomijn Schellevis by way of the Alicia Blue Gallery present Still, "a sculpture of fairy-tale proportions built of a crystallized sugar solution on the Lone Fir cemetery grounds. Still invites the public to come celebrate the beauty of life and its inevitable process; the edible sugary installation will be slowly dismantled by people who want to take a piece of this art with them. Eat it, shrine it or do with it as you please, the rest will be a natural, symbolic disintegration into the soil and vegetation-the sweetness of life dissolving into the earth to shapeshift into evidence of life repeating itself into a subtle eternal fractal of gentle beauty." The piece will be at the cemetery through October 16.

Opening reception • 6-8pm • October 1
Lone Fir Cemetery • SE Morrison
