The final installment of 2016’s Mississippi Records Music & Film Series, and we are ending it on a big bang! One of our favorite musicians – the Space Lady – will be here to play her ethereal music with films by Jean Painleve projected behind her.
The Space Lady was thrilling audiences on the streets of Boston and San Francisco all through the 80’s and 90’s. In 2000, she retired for awhile but has since made a triumphant return – touring the world and recording new material. Her music is driven by cosmic tones played on a synthesizer and her lovely echoing voice. She does grandiose sweeping covers of songs like Major Tom, I Had Too Much to Dream Last Night, Ballroom Blitz and many more that, in my opinion, bury the originals cold. (She also plays some great cosmic originals.) We are very honored to have one of our favorite contemporary musicians coming to Portland just for this show. This is a unique opportunity to catch her live.
The films of Jean Painleve are mesmerizing and unclassifiable – surrealist influenced dream works that are also serious science. The French filmmaker-scientist-inventor had a decades-spanning career in which he created hundreds of short films on subjects ranging from astronomy to pigeons to, most famously, such marine-life marvels as the sea horse and the sea urchin. This program will feature a “best of” his works.
It will be a beautiful night in the air-conditioned splendor of the Hollywood Theatre. Not to be missed at any cost!

The Oregon Brewers Festival is one of the nation's longest running and best loved craft beer festivals. Situated on the west bank of the Willamette River, with towering Mt. Hood as a backdrop, it is the ideal venue for anyone who loves craft beer. With a laid back attitude and scores of craft beers, the festival reflects the essence of the city of Portland.The Oregon Brewers Festival exists to provide an opportunity to sample and learn about a variety of craft beer styles from across the country.
Eighty-six craft breweries from the US offer more than 30 styles of handcrafted beers to 80,000 beer lovers during the five-day event; two taps are dedicated to gluten-free beer, and a tap is reserved for the OregonBrew Crew Collaborator homebrew project.
The International Beer Garden will feature six breweries from Japan, seven breweries from The Netherlands plus two breweries from Germany. The International Beer Garden was incorporated three years ago as part of a cultural exchange of ideas, knowledge and the celebration of craft beer.
The festival’s focus is craft beer, but there's more than sampling involved. The event also features live music, beer-related vendors, displays, homebrewing demonstrations, and an assortment of food vendors. The Crater Lake Root Beer Garden offers complimentary handcrafted soda for minors and designated drivers. Minors are welcome at the festival when accompanied by a parent.
home school is elated to announce the second class of Semester 2, Project Space Industrial Complex!
Project Space Industrial Complex de-centers and provokes the standard actions and motivations of independent art spaces. Co-taught by Chloe Alexandra, Carmen Denison, Eleanor Ford and Devin Ruiz, each class of PSID will present candid discussions of standard institutionalisms alongside experimental constructions of space and community building beyond the heteropatriarchal white supremacy of the status quo. The subject matter of each course will build upon the last, with a resultant expanded discourse that includes space construction, art markets, social/political structures and the function of ‘alternatives’ within white supremacist institutionalities.
The first class of Project Space Industrial Complex will focus on [the] art market(s), with topics including:
* the PDX –> NYC Pipeline
* social justifications of white supremacist institutionalisms
* manipulations of artists’ labor (esp. Artists of color)
* white feminism in arts institutions
* structural inequalities in economic centers (and how they are mirrored in economic peripheries)

As an interdisciplinary, improvisational performer and workshop facilitator, I am captivated by the underlying motives for any action. In workshops and lab-based environments, often it is assumed that we should follow our “interests” or “intentions,” when in fact our in-the-moment actions are a result not of clear-cut decisions but our relationship to the organism of bodies, room and objects around us colliding with what’s inside us. What do we want and why? What if we derailed ourselves, worked with our own insincerity, faked ourselves out, played tricks? Is it possible to create a realm where all is valid and nothing is right? For anyone interested in performing, from any discipline. Bring objects you are interested in.
here is a more general description and some video of past classes. this refers to more sonic based stuff i've been doing with matthew gantt, but it's still nice to watch i think:

Course Description
This 3-part workshop will focus on the basic understandings of operating and manipulating turntables, mixers, and a power amplifier (PA) in the context of creating a live DJ mix.
We will begin by introducing the basics behind these pieces of gear, both individually and their relationship to each other. Next, our focus will turn to practical listening as we work to comprehend rhythms and the ways our records work together to create a momentum of sound. These two basic tools of DJing – electronic hardware and human intuition – will be reconciled in the final session as we identify systems for sequencing records in a live setting.
We will discuss ways of training our bodies to react to our ears and translate those reactions to the turntable & mixer. Core concepts touched on include beat-matching, identifying tempos, and developing an identity as a dj based on each individual’s tastes and strengths.
Each week, in addition to the guided session, there will be a day of open equipment hours to practice the concepts that were taught in each class.
