Today we met at the PNAA (or maybe the PNAAA), Pacific Northwest Artists Archive, at Willamette University. Archivist Mary McKay entered into a dialog with representatives from the Hallie Ford Museum and the Salem Art Association (and one interested citizen–me) about the matter of archiving a life’s work. How to help artists develop such an […]

Henk Pander at the Hallie Ford Museum
Just a reminder that the Henk Pander show opens January 28th at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art in Salem, with a lecture on Pander’s work by Roger Hull at 5:00 that day in the Paulus lecture hall at the Law School (1 block from the museum): the water colors and drawings went on view […]
Coffee…Art…
Actually I had this coffee on Thursday in Sellwood…not as professionally beautiful as stumptown, but good…just longing for it here on a gloomy Saturday morning…plus the need to post something that isn’t about the studio project… We went to a terrific show Thursday at the Marylhurst Art Gym…their 30th anniversary show…which was all portraits of […]
Herron/Rose again…
Just about a year ago I went out to Cynthia Herron’s studio with biologist/writer Sharon Rose. Cynthia was beginning a year of painting drawn from Sharon Rose’s book about watching the biological cycles at Minto island (Salem’s truly wonderful treasure of a Park). The work is complete and the show opens November 3 at the […]
“Tales From the Back Porch”
That’s the title of the Corrie Loomis-Dietz/Paula Portinga Booth show now on at George Fox University until October 21 in the Minthorne Gallery in the Hoover Academic Building on campus. Well worth a trip up to see it. Kay and I drove up today to hear Corrie and Paula talk about their work. The placed […]
The Last Day at Project Space…
PHEW. Finished up today and removed the mess and most of the stuff leaving only the following: the former double wedding ring and a detail of same and the collages neatly installed in a book for easy viewing
Living the Creative Life: Jonathan Bucci
Jonathan’s day job is as collections curator at the HFMA, but in his REAL life he’s an artist. We did a studio visit to see the rest of the oregano series (one currently on view in the Mayor’s Invitational) and see the new work, both two and three dimensional. Jonathan has converted the garage into […]
Project Space 3 Update
Zoomed by Project Space yesterday and LOVED Michael Boonstra’s video water piece…nobody could avoid jumping into the video water:
The 4th Mayor’s Invitational
Salem Conference Center hosts this show for a year. Last year it was work from the City of Salem’s collection, and this year it was an invitational. I fell down on my true reporting because of too much schmoozing (…have I said that before?…) but here are the few pictures I took. The main concourse: […]
RADIUS 25, 2010
Roger and I were the jurors this year for the Radius 25 show at Bush Barn Art Center…artists living and working within 25 miles of Salem. Last night was the opening at which we had to give “remarks.” We stood up of the stairs to speak and I got these shots of the crowd..will go […]
