What
happens when you combine kinetic, human sculpture and
2D and 3D art, some of it breakable? Traduza Dance
Company aims to find out when it premieres All
Angles Thursday through Sunday in the Fenario
Gallery. With a multi-disciplined approach, 10 local
dancers and choreographers will collaborate with musicians
Alberto Redondo, Mick Miller and Jeremiah Harris, painters
Jennifer Loghry and Ralph Jaszkowski, photographers
Chad Kirkpatrick, Ari Denison and Jeff Ball, and videographer
Greg Ashworth to tip headlong into “the creative energy
that fuels every artist.” More “happening” than formal
show, All Angles allows audience members to
stroll through the mixed-media works at a pace that
they choose. The production includes some special guests:
Seattle’s The Pffft! Company and Brazilian gem Luciana
Proaño. See Thursday, May 29 Calendar.
OSU
gets its rock concert groove on this weekend, kicking
things off Friday with a Battle of the Bands lasting
well into the night (with performances by The Dimes
and Jamestown Story) in the MU quad. The next day,
drop by the quad for the Flat Tail Music Festival,
a free lineup of music that includes the winner
of Friday’s Battle of the Bands as well as Intervision,
Amadan, Badfish Band, Canoe and Austin, Texas-based
Ghostland Observatory (pictured). GO’s electronic
dance-rock is a perfect complement to the MU, and
their latest album, Robotique Majestique,
offers up full-on fuzzbox fury. We like how the
festival’s PR says “All Oregon laws will be enforced.”
In other words, bands from Texas will not be allowed
to pump their own gas, gosh darnit! See Corvallis
listings.
Yeah,
so Antero Alli’s Pacific Northwest
premiere of his new film, The
Invisible Forest, takes place
at DIVA, the same space that hosts
frequent screenings of Henry Weintraub’s
531 Productions (well, this week his
shorts are screening at Wandering
Goat; see Wednesday Calendar). It’s
fitting because The Invisible Forest
is basically The Blair Witch
Project with theater geeks and
Adobe After Effects. Alli will be
on hand at the screening to field
your puzzled looks of uncomprehending
cluelessness. See Thursday, June 5
Calendar.
Here
we go, May. You tantalized and teased
us for one sultry weekend in the middle
but have been nothing but inconsistent
gray and scatologically miserable
before and after. Here’s an idea:
How about you get your act together
for this week’s Last Friday Art
Walk. We mean, it’s got some new
venues and just keeps getting bigger
and bigger (soon it may even swallow
up the First Friday ARTWalk, but let’s
not hedge any bets … ), so why not?
Some venues worth noting: Studio B
for UO art prof Steve Green’s installations;
work by Josh Evert and Teresa Meier
at a new venue called Cat’s Meow;
paintings (pictured) by Meredith Butler
at Infinity Mercantile; work by Maximillian
Smoot at Elemental Play. Oh, and don’t
miss the kids' carnival at the East
Blair Housing Co-op if you’ve got
kids and all. See www.lastfridayartwalk.org
and Friday Calendar.
