North Park Blocks
Apr 19, 2017 7:30 PM – 8:30 PM
In conjunction with OCGOPF and Costumes, Reverence, & Forms / A Portland/Philadelphia Mixer, artists Chad States, Sascha Hughes-Caley, Maria Dumlao, Matt Kalasky from Vox Populi will present a series of videos for outdoor viewing in conjunction with Portland’s “Night Lights”. The videos seam together in polarizing the human figure with sound in varying acts; sensual, off-base, meditative, incantations. Each invite awareness to the present moment. Night Lights is a monthly time-based public art event that promotes digital media, urban intervention, and technological innovation. On the First Thursdays of October through April, select artists are able to showcase their work on the North Wall of the Regional Arts & Culture Council (RACC) Offices (411 NW Park Ave, Portland, OR) and claim public space for their artistic practice. Past projects have included large scale digital media projections, live performance of dance and sound, and collective showings by students and professional artists alike. This is a collaboration between Regional Arts & Culture Council and Open Signal
