Coming up next Fri, Nov. 6th we are proud to present 'My Heart Never Sleeps', the second solo show at our gallery from Portland based artist Timothy Karpinski. This will be the first solo exhibition with the artist in our main gallery space, following 'The Place I Call Home', which took place in our project room in the fall of 2008. 'My Heart Never Sleeps' will feature a large installation featuring the artist's "Fear Fort" which he has been living in for the past few months as he worked on the show and will be sleeping and living in during the week-long installation of the exhibition itself. In addition to this special installation, the opening reception will also feature a special musical performance from the band Lovers.
"Swirling around the themes of love and oneness with nature, Timothy Karpinski’s creations are the type of delicate and intimate creations that appeal to our most sensitive sensibilities." - JUXTAPOZ
