PDX Art: Mary Henry at PDX Contemporary Art Gallery

I am not interested in portraying life as such, but I am interested in portraying ideas and emotions. What I would like most of all to be able to do would be to find in my painting the connection of humanity to the universe - a truly symbolic relationship made visible. This is, I believe, my concept of the spirituality of my painting. I continue with non-objective work using geometric shapes. I believe it is the way that best expresses what I feel and what I think is the deepest, most significant art form now and for the future. I believe that it is not necessarily a good thing to be constantly trying to be new; beauty is what we should be looking for.

- Mary Henry, October 2001




in memory of an extra ordinary human and for a life well lived

PDX ART: "The Store", invitation

I am for an art that grows up not knowing it is art at all,
an art given the chance of having a starting point of zero.
’ Claes Oldenburg, Store Days (1967)

organized, re-envisioned by John Brodie

The Store

for more info contact
www.storeforamonth.com

Loosely based on Claes Oldenburg’s “Store” from 1961, Store for a Month will be a temporary art object and “product” store that includes a working studio for the Proprietor and Store artists to make works on-site, although many works will be made in advance. Store for a Month will feature art and products made specifically for the project by over 60 of the NW region’s best and brightest artists. While the emphasis is on 3D art objects and sculpture, some 2D work will be included. Artists have been encouraged to make works they might not usually make, explore new mediums outside their traditional process, and create works of an unusual or outrageous nature – all priced for the “Store” environment. Additionally, a pie artist has been engaged to make pies on-site.

Location: 1216 SE Division Street, Portland Oregon

Store Hours: Wednesday through Saturday, Noon – 7pm

Opening Party: First Friday, June 5 from 6-10pm
- John Brodie, Proprietor
