With spring in the air you might be turning your thoughts more towards the great outdoors than to the hallowed white walls of the art gallery but I tell you now that it is possible to marry both in the upcoming weeks if you are at all near historic Astoria, Oregon.

An excursion to this coastal town, situated at the ferocious mouth of the Columbia River, will not only get you that blast of salty sea air, but can also stimulate your aesthetic consciousness with a group exhibit of Portland photographers held at Lightbox Photographic Gallery. Some stalwarts of the PDX photo world are taking part, including urban minimalist TJ Norris, antiquarian advocate Blue Mitchell, Blue Moon Camera's Zeb Andrews, and silver gelatin master Stu Levy to name just a few. They even let yours truly sneak a piece on to the wall as well.

The exhibit is presented in honor of Portland Photo Month, a bi-annual celebration of photography in the Rose City that honors the diversity of photographic talent world-wide through exhibits, lectures, and workshops on all things related to the capture of light by a lens, chemistry, code or any combination of the bunch.

REMNANTS Artist Reception on Sunday, April 15

Jeffrey Baker, For Cramping You Said. . .
REMNANTS has been installed at 12x16 Gallery in Portland's Sellwood neighborhood. 12x16's space is quite lovely, divided into two different exhibition areas- one for a monthly exhibit by one of the co-op members and the other for an invited guest artist like yours truly. 

An Artists' Reception for myself and Maryann Fielder will take place this coming Sunday, April 15th from 2-5pm. I do hope you'll have an opportunity to stop by. 

REMNANTS features over 25 new works arranged with a selection of past works in compositions that treat the gallery walls as something of a tabula rasa. Vandalized antiquity, golden domes, teetering roller coasters, and bittersweet eulogies all have their place and offer a glimpse into the muzzy preoccupations that make up my visual life.
