Saturday (A jam about Rollerskating)

Published February 7th, 2009 by abraham

Saturday was a crazy wonderful. One of these crazy whirlwind days that unfolds continuously. It started early, at 9 am, when Ivy from W+K came over to interview me for a show she’s doing on their W+K Radio station about Portland. Keep Portland Abe! Then I went down to P:ear to interview homeless youth for my Neighborhood Diaries project. Then C picked me up and we were going to go home or something, but we decided to get coffee instead, and saw people dressed up to do the Lion Dance so we went to the Chinese Garden to watch that. It was a beautiful sunny day, and the lions were spitting out lettuce. Also, one of them had a little tail that wagged around really fast.

Then we went to breakfast at Pambiche, and then I bought fancy chocolates at Alma, including a chocolate sacred (anatomical) heart covered in gold. This was a gift for Irena, whose studio we then went to.

A week before, Irena had a contest where she gave away all the art in her studio to make room for the new year’s creativity. One nice couple from Ohio brought Vodka he had infused with cinnamon sticks and vanilla (which I later got from Trader Joes). I tried a shot and it was delicious, so I was hopeless when later offered with a White Russian made from the stuff.

Here’s me with my free art, the piece is called “Dismembered Sky.”

After that we went to Bonfire to play pool and finish what the White Russians started, and Sabrina forbade me to ever wear a hat again. Also C beat me at pool a lot, but I didn’t mind.

Insta Smile! A Reason to Love the Internet

Published June 19th, 2008 by abraham

from www.woostercollective.com:

A terrific little story sent to us by Jody in London:

“A few weeks ago I went to the Cans Festival in London, I took a few pictures and put them on Flickr, including some work by Minneapolis graff artist, Broken Crow.

A day or so later, Broken Crow added some of my photos to his Flickr favorites, so I dropped him a Flickrmail, telling him how much I enjoyed the show and jokingly suggested that if he’s ever in London again and needs a wall to paint, then he’s welcome to paint my house.

Broken Crow asked me to send him a photo of my wall, said it was perfect and that he had a spare day between visiting relatives in London and painting some commissions in Paris. Three weeks later he’s here, in my garden, with his fiancee, painting a 12x15ft mural of a cheetah.

We had a great day – the weather was perfect and I can’t quite believe it happened. Proof that not all friendships made over the internet end in vampire worship and ritual suicide!

Huge thanks to Broken Crow and his fiancee – the nicest strangers I’ve ever met. The wall was painted on June 14, 2008.”

eve of show excitement…

Published June 10th, 2008 by abraham

The Flight and the Fall will be performed live June 11th @ 8pm as part of the New Music Society concert series at Jace Gace 2045 SE Belmont (www.jacegace.com)

The Flight and the Fall is new audio program put together by me, Abraham Ingle, a public artist that has been working in Portland for years and had art displayed in City Hall last March. The Flight and the Fall is, to be honest, a lot like This American Life in format, but comes across differently, you have to hear it to get it, and you can, at http://hoodturkey.com/projects/the-flight-and-the-fall/, or by searching for it in iTunes (it’s free).

The Flight and the Fall just finished it’s first episode, which had a theme of “Love and Loss,” and featured found sound, interviews, audio compositions, and a radio drama from a McSweeny’s contributor (parlez-vous name drop?). Future issues are going to feature different themes, but you’ll just have to sit tight and see what comes next.

While the show is similar to This American Life in that I choose a theme and explore that theme through dramatic and comedic stories. The show differs in that The Flight and the Fall is not trying to be journalistic in any way, and presents pieces in a curatorial, rather than journalistic manner. It will make sense once you listen to it.

Abraham Ingle is a public artist who has played in bands such as The Bats from the Pyramids of Egypt, and The Dot and the Line, and DJ’s as DJ Invisiboy.

The Flight and the Fall Live!

June 11th @ 8pm at Jace Gace 2045 SE Belmont (www.jacegace.com)
