It featured works by some 40 artists; including a rickety lounge chair by the architecture duo LOT/EK, crushed velvet bedding by Polly Apfelbaum, furniture by Peter Boynton and Steve West, a cracked and repaired mirror by Curtis Mitchell, paintings by Elliot Green and Mira Schor, and clocks by James Elaine.

A Tribute to Michele Russo (1909-2004)

Podium
by David Eckard

After animating his roving Podium at multiple sites around the city during PICA's Time Based Arts Festival (September 10-19), Portland artist David Eckard will return for a special appearance at the Jupiter Hotel. His portable, dismantled six foot high podium will be rolled into place, assembled, and used to deliver a monologue. "Part stump speech or rally proclamation, the text is a collage of personal revelations, facts, poetry, and aural non-sequiturs." Eckard's objects/events investigate conditions of masculinity, endurance, authority, and absurdity.
