Vision seeks to exhibit and examine the evidence of the continual process of searching, synthesizing, and learning. Each artist employs a practice that has evolved from a variety of unique, often personal research paths; whether their inquiry has been into material, performance, installation, or personal interviews. Vision presents paintings, prints, and images from four artists with deeply-researched processes behind the images they create.

Vision is sponsored in part by the Historic Ford Building, Widmer Brothers Brewing, and galleryHOMELAND

Brunch #15

To date, this month’s speakers include:

Laura Hughes
Laura Hughes creates site-specific installation environments that analyze and redirect our perceptions within our architectural surroundings. Combining light, paint, and structural modifications to a space, her work challenges the assumptions we make about what surrounds us allowing us to see what is usually overlooked. Her reordered spatial vocabulary, which invokes both apprehension and imagination, works to illuminate and challenge our standard perceptions of space. She will discuss her work in the Vision show.

Judith Pulman
Judith Pulman has published two poetry chapbooks, written a bilingual play about Anton Chekhov’s romances, and studied acting intensively at the Moscow Art Theater in Russia. Her poems have appeared in small press magazines across Oregon. She has taught classes in English language and composition internationally as well as in Virginia. She is currently working towards her MFA in writing at Pacific Lutheran University.

Danielle Ross
The Why Behind The What: To Remember Is To Jump Around There – I am a choreographer, a dancer, a curator, and a moment-maker. I make dances that start with something familiar and end with something new. My dances revolve around our collective social choreography. I’m drawn to moments that allow quirk, awkwardness, and vulnerability to rise to the surface, and I am drawn to inflating what we often don’t say in social interaction. You may hear me calling this “the space between.” I’m currently working on a work titled, “To Remember Is To Jump Around There.” It will be shown in late fall of 2011.

Cheese Wrestling!

Friday, June 24 – 6-8 pm

Join Zack Denfeld and Cathrine Kramer of the Center for Genomic Gastronomy as they lead us on what I suspect will be a more rollicking cheese tasting than we’re all  accustomed to.

Hear about the Center’s work and then enjoy a cheese-tasting competition where  contestants wear wrestling masks and take on the personalities of various cheeses while the audience members taste the actual cheese, listen to the “voice” of the cheese (including legal documents and journalistic coverage) and vote on who the winners are.

The winning cheese/wrestler will be crowned and presented with a spray food painting.
