This retrospective exhibition places Ken Shores’ work within the context of his home, travels, and experiences. Juxtaposing wall-sized images of Shores’ object-laden home with his own artwork, the exhibition provides connections between ancient objects and archetypal forms and Shores’ personal vocabulary. Long-recognized for his global perspective, the exhibition seeks a new understanding of Shores’ work in the context of his role as a student, teacher, leader, artist and foundational figure in the American Craft Movement. Long overdue, this is the largest exhibition of Shores’ own work and personal collection.
Sunday, May 4, 2 PM, The Lab
Curator Namita Gupta Wiggers will discuss the current Ken Shores retrospective, contextualizing his work in terms of his home, travels and experiences as an artist, teacher and foundational figure in the American Craft movement.

The Bamboo Grove is pleased to announce new artwork by Marshall Stokes, Kim Hutchins, and Gabriel Weiss during the month of May. The exhibition will be on view in the gallery May 2nd through June 4th, 2008.

Self-taught artist Kim Hutchins has always been drawn towards pop culture and the lowbrow art movement. Her work is both sad and whimsical. She has spent the last several years perfecting her precise, linear style and playful imagery.
Gabriel Weiss explores the interface between western and Chinese painting media in his paintings of Portlandia.
There will be a First Friday artist's reception on Friday, May 2nd from 6:30 pm to 10:30 pm. Music will be provided by DJ Dr. FuManchu. This is a free event.
