In
many ways, Chicago-based Dark Star Orchestra
is the epitome of performance art. Or, to get all
scholarly for a moment, mimesis, which is the representation
of nature … that is, if you believe the Grateful
Dead reached heavenly perfection in their music (or
at least in your head). A 2002 article in Rolling
Stone claimed DSO's "fanatical attention to detail
— including the placement of microphones onstage
and the use of guitars and amplifiers from the correct
era — is the stuff of Dead-fan fervor." It's
a skilled performance that DSO takes seriously. For
example, when they invited original Dead member Bob
Weir onstage at a show in San Francisco, Rob Eaton
(who impersonates Weir) had to hide. "How can you
have two Bob Weirs onstage at the same time?" explained
Eaton. DSO also interprets a different Dead show in
every concert, so half the post-show fun is figuring
out which show they just played. It's like one big
psychedelic trivia night! See Saturday Calendar.
The
eponymous Last Friday Art Walk has a fresh(er),
more user-friendly website for your perusal (with
maps now available for download and printing!)
and continues to fluctuate with new and old venues
each month. Relatively new (and recommended) is
"On Track Art" at The Other Side Coffee Lounge,
while the Art of Glass offers fused glass jewelry
by Cat Shelby. Alongside graphically striking
work (pictured) by Chris Pontrelli, Marilyn Kent
pops up again at Infinity Mercantile with another
bird-centered exhibit. And, if you haven't seen
enough of her work at Jameson's, check out the
paintings by Marlis opening at the Wandering Goat.
Finally, should you be bike-mounted, cruise down
5th for the closing reception for the Goblinko
team of Sean and Katie Aaberg at the Museum of
Unfine Art. See 
Flying
a bit too low under the radar (considering
all the events and workshops attached
to it) is this year's Eugene
International Film Festival,
presented Oct. 4-6 at Regal Cinemas
15. $35 buys you an all-films pass
(apparently you can't buy tickets
for individual films). Countries
from Chile to Thailand are represented
in both short and feature-length
films. Dutch director Erik Fransman's
In Retrospect is the highlight
(and the filmmaker will be attendance).
And what would an international
film festival be without films by
Pacific Northwest directors? The
highlight from this fresh crop is
Grant Aaker and Josh Wallaert's
Arid Lands, a documentary
on the 50-mile stretch of the Columbia
River in Washington state affectionately
known as the Hanford Nuclear Waste
Zone & Suburban Sprawl Waste
Land. Go to
