It’s Portland Institute of Contemporary Art‘s annual Time Based Arts festival again, and I’m blogging for what I think is my 5th year. As far as contemporary art is concerned, PICA effectively raised me. They started comping tickets out to Kirsten before I even graduated college, and have given me a free pass almost ever since in exchange for blogging. This year, they took over an old school as the visual arts and late night show venue, and it’s gorgeous.
Here’s my first blog on the experimental film Crock, which I warn you, is a bit vulgar.
iPhone in hand, I’ve been taking some pictures. Here’s two and a video, more soon.
