Opening at SEA Change Gallery Aug. 5th!

"WE AGREE: A CRISIS IN COMMON"

POLITICAL ARTS GROUP HIGHLIGHTS RESISTANCE TO LNG


Printmakers from Portland and Indonesia map the resistance to imported liquefied natural gas from
the source to the consumer in two giant relief prints

On Thursday, the 5th of August, Justseeds and SEA Change gallery will present an opening reception for "We Agree: A Crisis in Common". On display will be two large blockprints, one made by the Portland-based members of the Justseeds Artist Cooperative, and the other by members of Taring Padi, an artist cooperative from Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The two prints, each measuring three feet by nine feet, are bold, graphic depictions of the impact of the Natural Gas industry and its satellites on the landscape and peoples of both sides of the Pacific. They were designed and printed collaboratively, with the help of generous funding from RACC and Work for Art. Other artworks by Justseeds and Taring Padi will also be on display. The gallery will open at 5 pm. SEA Change is located at 625 NW Everett St, Gallery #110, in Downtown Portland.
