Michael Reinsch

False Front presents Michael Reinsch's I Have Nothing To Say To You. This A-frame-inspired sculptural installation reacts against the information conveyed in commercial signage: "There is no means to its end. Where as a merchant's public display of commodity is made prominent and to the point, alternatively Reinsch's installation offers a cleverly nondescript, attentive response to the viewer's - art patron or everyday shopper - aesthetic sense, and sometimes crave, of grandeur."

Opening reception • 7-10pm • March 4
Closing reception / artist talk • 12-3pm • March 26
False Front • 4518 NE 32nd • 503.781.4609



Ilyas Ahmed

Nationale presents Ilyas Ahmed's The Endless Intermission. "Inspired in part by ritual and obsession, Ilyas Ahmed's work is an attempt at dealing with a reconciliation between nightmarish and idyllic dreams and visions...Conceived in the half-light of memory and in flickered dreams, these new collages are a revision of the extremes."

Opening reception • 6-9pm • March 4
Artist talk • 7pm • March 23
Nationale • 811 E Burnside Suite 112 • 503.477.9786
