DECEMBER: UNNATURAL 07/03/2010
First Friday Opening Reception: December 3rd, 2010, 7-10 p.m. Golden Rule Gallery, 811 E. Burnside, Suite 122, Portland, OR 97214 Show runs December 2nd, 2010 through January 2nd, 2011 CURATOR'S STATEMENT "The idea of what is unnatural is of course, a very subjective matter. There's a few things that could make the list without much debate, like freak accidents, deformities, miracles, apparitions, magic, or everlasting-life. Without actually taking down statistical evidence of all such occurrences though, how do we know they actually don't fall within the realm of what is "normal" and "natural?" Our ideas of the unnatural are based in the influences of society and culture. Even then, we are sometimes expected to fight what is natural with all our might (e.g. aging, death), other times we scorn and fear what is seemingly bizarre and freakish. Either way, this is a topic that we all can approach, perhaps from a personal relationship with the unnatural, even within one's self, to those things that make us the most uncomfortable." - Aidan Koch, Guest Curator UNNATURAL will feature new work by Lahaina Alcantary, Shawn Creeden, Austin English, Dennis Foster, Israel Lund, Mia Nolting and Paul Wagenblast.
