If you're in Portland, Oregon over the next couple of months, check out Charles Goldman's exhibition/performances at the PNCA Feldman Gallery.
Newcountry is an abstract meditation on the changing American landscape. The protagonist is Charles Goldmans Standard white Toyota pick-up truck the water, the trees and the air all play their part. Using mundane materials mined from this new American landscape, Goldman will build several site-specific sculptures for the Feldman Gallery + Project Space. Related performances will be held each Friday night at 7:00 pm, beginning on January 21 and running through the remainder of the exhibition.
The work exhibited at PNCA spawns mostly from Goldmans experiences as a Visiting Faculty in 2003 at University of Oregon in Eugene. The Brooklyn-based artist is currently the Visiting Faculty at California College of Art in San Francisco.
Charles is a good friend of ours, and his web site is the first artist web site I did.
