Neighbors Series Continues
with
lecture/presentation by Portland Curator Stuart
Horodner
Nevada Neighbors, Capital City Arts Initiativeís
lecture series on contemporary art practice in the
West, continues in March with "Portland
Possibilities," a slide lecture presentation by
Portland-based curator Stuart Horodner. The
presentation will take place at the Carson City
Library on Wednesday, March 3 at 7:00 p.m. There will
be a reception for Mr. Horodner immediately preceding
his talk at the library beginning at 6:15 p.m. The
library is located at 900 North Roop Street. The
lecture and reception are free and open to the public.
ìDominant institutions, funding, collecting, and
alternative scenes are all a part of what is happening
here,î states Mr. Horodner, speaking of Portland's
dynamic art scene. His talk will focus on artists
working in the Portland area. He comments: ìI think
these artists are doing special things--conceptually,
with regard to craft, installation and subject
matter. This includes the DIY (do it yourself)
strategies that contemporary artists are using to
empower themselves.î
Mr. Horodner was most recently the visual art curator
at PICA (Portland Instutute for Contemporary Art). He
received his BFA from The Cooper Union and his MFA
from Rutgers University. From 1992-96 he was
owner/director of the Horodner Romley Gallery in New
York City; from 1997-200, he was the director/curator
of the Bucknell University Art Gallery in Lewisburg,
PA. He has organized numerous exhibitions,
residencies, billboard projects, and unique
collaborations. He has worked with artists including
Leon Golub, Jessica Stockholder, Janine Antoni,
Melanie Manchot, and Dana Schutz. He has contributed
writing to magazines including Surface, Sculpture, New
Observations and BOMB. He currently teaches at
Portland State University and the Pacific Northwest
College of Art.
As part of his visit to northern Nevada, Mr. Horodner
will meet with local artists to discuss their work.
