"Interior Margins" - curated by Stephanie Snyder

Lumber Room
November 12, 2011 - January 30, 2012
419 SW 9th Ave
11 am to 6 pm

"Interior Margins" was born around a dinner table in May of 2010, when eight women artists gathered to converse about painting and abstraction with Lumber Room founder Sarah Miller Meigs and Reed College curator Stephanie Snyder, within the Lumber Room's inaugural installation by San Francisco artist Léonie Guyer. The ideas discussed that evening catalyzed the desire for a further exhibition, one bringing together work of an intergenerational group of Northwest women artists who are transforming the diverse legacies and practices of abstraction for a new era.

Innovations in Bicycle Safety and Usability Unveiled at Oregon Manifest

PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 4, 2011 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- The nation's leading custom bike builders gathered in Portland on September 24 for Oregon Manifest, a demanding competition that allows designers and builders to showcase their best ideas and compete for the title of the ultimate urban utility bike.

Second place went to the collaborative design/build team of Rob Tsunehiro of Tsunehiro Cycles and Silas Beebe of ID+. Tsunehiro, a former Boeing engineer and custom bike builder, and Beebe, an industrial designer with over a decade of global design experience, who won for their "Louis Vuitton of city bikes."

In awarding the second place finish, Rob Forbes, founder of Design Within Reach and Public Bicycles, challenged the other judges to "show me one way this bike falls short." In their hands, the practical urban utility bike maximized its functionality but with added elegance and safety.

The MFA in Visual Studies invites Vanessa Renwick to speak for the 2011-12 Graduate Visiting Artist Lecture Series.

Working in experimental and poetic documentary forms, Vanessa Renwick produces films, videos and installations that explore the possibility of hope in contemporary society. She puts scholars to rout by solving through nature’s teaching problems that have fretted their trained minds. Her iconoclastic work reflects an interest in place, relationship between bodies and landscapes, and all matter of borders.
