PDX CONTEMPORARY ART is pleased to present Summer Ritual, a group exhibition bringing together work by both PDX represented and invited artists focusing on the idea of rituals.
Rituals are important both individually and collectively, helping us to connect to ourselves, our communities, and our environments. They motivate us, bring purpose and comfort, and are markers for important transitions and milestones. The start of summer introduces new kinds of rituals as the days become longer and warmer. Our annual summer group show has become a summer ritual in itself— bringing together work by artists tied together with a central theme.
Summer Ritual features work by artists: Anna Gray + Ryan Wilson Paulsen, Nick Blosser, Iván Carmona, Marjorie Dial, Amjad Faur, Anna Fidler, Bean Finneran, Jacques Flechemueller, Ellen George, Victoria Haven, Elizabeth Knight, Justin L’Amie, James Lavadour, Nancy Lorenz, Brandt Maina, D.E. May, Kristen Miller, Wes Mills, Jeffry Mitchell, Jenene Nagy, Georgina Reskala, Franklin Russell, Tad Savinar, Storm Tharp, Nell Warren, Heather Watkins, Marie Watt, Adrian Ruth Williams, Yamamoto Masao, and Yuyang Zhang.
Organizer
Opened in 1996, PDX CONTEMPORARY ART continues to be one of the most forward-thinking commercial galleries in the West. Representing artists both local and international, owner Jane Beebe exhibits artwork that is both intellectually and visually satisfying. Our newest space is in a revitalized quonset hut and part of a Skylab project to develop a creative community on the edge of industrial northwest Portland.
