Crisis 40 by Jennifer Locke @ RocksBox
While most of you will be setting off sparklers and sipping beer around a BBQ on the 4th, San Francisco-based artist Jennifer Locke will be presenting her latest solo-performance at the Portland art-gallery RocksBox. Locke’s work often focuses on the power structures specifically dealing with the human body and its relation to modern technology. This will definitely be a intriguing evening for those looking to get away from the fireworks and find a little bit of art on the 4th. Show starts @ 9pm.

Celilo
Local Americana folk-rock act Celilo was featured on OPB’s In-House earlier this month where they performed tracks off their new LP Bending Mirrors. The new record channels such post-rock bands as Do Make Say Think and Tortoise and blends it with the psych-folk of Wilco. Check out their live in-studio performance on HERE on OPB.
Trunk PDX
Portland is a city full of young, creative people who maintain the innovative and captivating nature of the city that keeps people coming in droves to see what the Rose City is all about. A recent blog called “Trunk PDX” is one small recent contribution that has captured my attention. “Trunk PDX” goal is to “photograph people, their bags, and the contents within as a way of exploring how they acclimate to their ever moving, ever changing lives. Entering into these places of privacy help us better understand our friends, perfect strangers, and a trend that has emerged from necessity.”
The results so far have been fascinating and act as an interesting way to engage and profile the people of Portland. Highly suggested.
