Appendix Collective

NAAU presents Tropical Depression, a collection of new work by Portland's Appendix Collective: Maggie Casey, Zachary Davis, Joshua Pavlacky and Benjamin Young. "For each artist, form and approach are guided by the properties of their materials and by parameters set by the group. From within their system of collective practice, the artists grapple with the intangible nature of information technologies and systems, and the growing difficulty in distinguishing between the manufactured and the naturally occurring."

Opening reception • 6-9pm • November 5
New American Art Union • 922 SE Ankeny • 503.231.8294

Jonathan Leach

Gallery Homeland presents Someday We'll Find It..., new work by Jonathan Leach. "Breaking out beyond the framework of the canvas into something more sculptural, Leach remains rooted in the language developed in his landscapes. The new paintings on plexiglas cubes demand movement from the viewer as they experience the different sides of the composition blending together and changing while circling the object."

Gallery Homeland • 2505 SE 11th #136 • info@galleryhomeland.org
