OLDISH PORTLAND

Nathan Mckee

Nathan McKee is joined by Violet Aveline for a double feature opening October 30th.

In the Front Gallery, Nathan McKee pays homage to Oldish Portland, drawing from his memories of growing up in the city during the ’80s and ’90s. McKee captures the places, characters, and spirit of the Portland he still knows by heart. The collection brings together ghosts of Portland’s past alongside the beloved local gems that have stood the test of time.

In our Back Gallery, The Last Rider by Violet Aveline reimagines our past as if women had always been allowed to participate, limited only by imagination. Aveline revisits the books she grew up with, rewriting their stories to include women who played rough, got broken, got dirty, and kept going. They did it with lipstick on, a baby in a basket as they rode, and a grim smile as they chased flight.

Join us October 30th for the opening reception.
