DARK: A SHOW TO WINTER
Curated by The Blood Rainbow Family
February 05 - March 13, 2010
In a 1998 interview Alan Vega of electronic duo Suicide described the live experience of the band as “you are coming off the street to come into the street.” The exhibition Dark: A Show to Winter will function under the same premise. Opening during the dead of a Portland winter, Dark will include work that addresses and/or reflects this outside environment. The grim, the cold and the black will mingle with the solitary, the contemplative and the transcendent. Explorations of dark and winter drawn from both a common visual culture, as well as more personal voids, will work together to bring the vast, seemingly endless dark winter into the confines of the gallery space.
