In 2009, Abraham Ingle brought Berlin’s Papergirl Project to Portland. Over 200 pieces of original 2d art were displayed in a gallery, then rolled up, and distributed via bicycle to randomly selected people on the streets of Portland.

Papergirl rode through Portland yesterday, delivering over 200 pieces of art to random people on the streets.
It was a really fun and amazing event.
A big thanks to all the artists who donated, to all the paper girls and boys, to the documenters, and to Portland for being absolutely lovely yesterday.
More documentation is to come, so stay tuned!

Remember a few months back when we printed a piece about the Regional Arts and Culture Council’s (RACC) grant process? Well, I’ve got a quick follow-up on that story.
Tonight at Second Nature Gallery (811 E Burnside), Abraham Ingle— one of last year’s RACC grant recipients— is officially unveiling the Buckman edition of Neighborhood Diaries, his series of neighborhood-specific audio tours that are free to all, downloadable, and ready for your MP3 player of choice. Last night, the ON Gallery hosted the release party for Neighborhood Diaries‘ Downtown tour, and on the 11th the Boise/Elliot neighborhood tour will be made official with a release event at Waypost (3120 N WIlliams Ave).
Though, to make tonight even more special, Ingle will also be pulling the curtain back for Papergirl, another project he’s been working away on. Papergirl, which started in Berlin back in 2006, works like this: people donate art; the art is hung in a gallery; a few weeks later people pull the art down, roll it up, and ride around on their bikes playing Santa (throwing art at people).
Ingle has received over 200 pieces of donated art from folks around the city, and those will be up at Second Nature until the 18th when they’ll be distributed. The whole process is being documented, so when the gallery goes bare, people can come and watch videos and what-have-yous of the art that’s been pedaled off into the community.
Pretty neat, aye?

Papergirl in Portland
Hoodturkey is bringing Papergirl to Portland. This annual Berlin-based event “is an art project which, in the style of American paperboys, distributes rolled art pieces by bicycle to random passers-by in the streets. It consists of an exhibition, the action (distribution of the art), a bike workshop and a party.” The result is a 100% non-monetary exchange & distribution of art to the community. Artists who would like to participate should submit work by September 14. Hoodturkey is also seeking volunteers to help distribute, organize the party, and photograph all related events. For more details on the process and getting involved, visit the Portland Papergirl website.
In 2009 I partnered with Papergirl in Berlin to bring Papergirl to Portland.
Over 200 original works of art were donated to the project.
In September the art was shown at the Second Nature Gallery.
In October, some awesome people and I rode through the streets of Portland on bicycles, distributing the donated art at random to people on the street.
so much fun, right?
Stay tuned…
Won’t be organized by me, but you can find out more at http://papergirlportland.wordpress.com/.
Papergirl PDX, like most of my projects, was funded by myself alone. If you’d like to support free, public art that is kinda awesome, please consider buying me a burrito:
