Ultra was nice enough to talk about my little show:
Tonight, a debut solo show of work by Abraham Ingle, If A Tree Falls… opens at FalseFront (4518 NE 32nd) with a reception from 6-10 PM. The show is six new video, installation, interactive and collaborative projects, through which Ingle proposes to “investigate the notions of presence in the age of ‘always on’.”

Over on Blogtown, Matt Stangel gave us his top pick and an excellent review:
“…though my top pick of the night goes to Abraham Ingle’s If A Tree Falls… at False Front, presenting (take it away press release!) “six all new Social and Studio practice projects that explore notions of presence in the age of ‘always on.’”
Read on for details about Ingle’s show at False Front.”

Portland conceptual artist Abraham Ingle’s first solo show is quite a curious one. Starting today at False Front Studio in Portland, Ingle will be displayed his socially-inspired art. The show, entitled If A Tree Falls… consists of all new practice projects which explore notions of presence in the age of “always on.” You should definitely visit this blog post on Ingle’s website to view more of the summary, but I’ll pick and choose a couple of interesting components to the six-part show…

False Front Studio presents Abraham Ingle, If A Tree Falls…, a six-part survey of Ingle’s social and studio practice. “Through video, installation, interactive and collaborative projects, Ingle investigates the notions of presence in the age of ‘always on’.”

New in the Artistery, RECESS Art Space (4315 SE Division) launches with its first show, reflexively named Recess, opening at 6 tonight.
What about it? “Together, we can explore the recesses of the mind, the vicissitudes of the economic recession, other permutations of the word ‘recess,’ or just have some fun with good old-fashioned Americans like yourselves (that was a good sentence). …The works at this show will be largely conceptual and participation-oriented. … videos, commentary, performance, and a pants exchange.” Artists include Nim Wunnan, Gary Wiseman, Rachel Montgomery, Prescription Pills, Abraham Ingle, Future Death Toll, Justin Flood, Ally Drozd, and Crystal Baxley.

Live music starts at 9:30pm.

They Interviewed me on couchsurfing.org
Un extracto:
CS: Your artistic projects invite people to re-discover the city or to interact with it in creative ways. What is it about cities that inspires you and your work?
Cities are such weird experiments. Technology moves so much faster than we as humans can evolve. Even though I am definitely a city slicker, I very much see, and am fascinated by, the alien nature of city life – the zoos we build for ourselves. I am fascinated by the frailty and strength of cities and the people that live in them. Read more »

The Mayor’s Office joined the growing ranks of wonderful folks featuring the Papergirl Portland project. From their site:
“In 2009, Abraham Ingle, from hoodturkey.com fame, 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.
Originally a brainchild from Berlin, Germany Paper Girl is an International project that’s premise is quite simple: re-distribute donated art to random passers-by via bicycle!”
