Slideshow Potshow - Food and Photography

SLIDELUCK POTSHOW to be held on Saturday, May 10, 2008
at Straub Collaborative Studio.

WHAT: Slideluck Potshow is a slideshow and a potluck to which members the arts and photography communities bring food, and submit a maximum of 5 minutes worth of slides. The evening begins with a couple hours of mingling and dining and on the home-cooked delights of participants. Following the potluck, the lights are dimmed, the crowd is hushed, and a spectacular slideshow commences.

Slideluck Potshow is a forum for exposing artists, curators, and editors to new work, while infusing the arts community with a non-commercial vitality and refreshing exchange. Photojournalists, painters, sculptors, designers, fashion, and fine art photographers all show their work alongside one another in a relaxed and spirited atmosphere. It is an event that brings together scores of spirited and creative individuals-- and what could be better than that?

WHO: The event is open to the public and the slideshow will feature artists from the Portland area. Slideluck is an opportunity for artists and art-appreciators to come together and share their work in a congenial, non-competitive atmosphere. Presenters range from the very accomplished to the up and coming, but regardless of status, none is allotted more than 5 minutes for their slideshow. Participants are encouraged to take creative risks, in terms of content and presentation. Slideshows are often accompanied by music, commentary, or other surprises. The theme for this seasons event is "Transmutations." Work by Mark Colman and others will be featured.

Slideluck Potshow was founded in the backyard of advertising
and editorial photographer, Casey Kelbaugh, in 2000. Kelbaugh produced 20 shows around Seattle, and is now, along with Alys Kenny, organizing 3 events a year in NYC. Slideluck takes place in about 25 cities globally, including Berlin, Mexico City, San Francisco, London, Milan, Sao Paolo, Barcelona, and Copenhagen.

WHEN: Saturday, May 10, 2008, from 7pm until 11pm.
The potluck begins at 7pm and the slideshow begins about 8:30pm.

WHERE: Straub Collaborative Studio, 2503 N. Albina,
Portland, Oregon 97227

Saturday will be your last chance to see Brian Ulrich's artwork.

The Portland Mercury writes:
Chicago-based photographer Brian Ulrich has seen his stock rise dramatically over the past several years for his smart and detached photographic examinations of American retail and consumer culture. Neither as caustic as Martin Parr's sassy snaps, nor as clinical as the neo-objective trendsters who currently dominate the gallery scene and market, Ulrich's large format scenes have an almost 19th-century sense of carefully observed realism.


THE MAN SHOW - 3 WAYS
Erik Schneider, CPA will be presenting a talk on his latest curatorial effort "The Man Show". He will be looking at the show from 3 angles: CONCEPT: Mr. Schneider will discuss the underlying ideas behind the works in the show as well as commenting on the curatorial process for the exhibit.TECHNIQUE: A discussion of the various photographic techniques at work in the exhibit will be explored as the show is an excellent survey of many of the practices being employed today.MARKET: Finally, the show will be explored from a market standpoint including discussion of what makes art investment quality and how art is priced.
