4TH OF JULY MUSIC AND ART CELEBRATIONS FEAT. GUS FRANKLIN • Posted on Jun 21, 10:10 PM


This Guy!

What better way to spend your 4th of July then by roasting s’mores with over 20 artists from all over the west coast, musical performers from Austrailia, and your good old friends at The Department of Safety hooking up to an interactive “brain machine”?!

Two full days of Fidalgo fun with Lasercave, the Portland, OR-based independent media label, curating an art show, In the Light Cone, and musical performaces by Why I Must Be Careful, Pikelet (Melbourne), and Sheahan Drive (Gus Franklin from Architecture in Helsinki).

Friday, July 3rd at 6pm – $4
The crew will kick off the celebration with an art opening, followed by an experimental video screening, musical performances, and a set from Portland’s DJ Vision Quest (aka Bobby Smith). Visual art on display will include work by Timothy Karpinski (of Portland’s Together Gallery), Adam Baz, video game by Mark Essen, a photo-painting by Rebecca Leopold, Ben Segal, Allison Cekala, Michael Rae, video artists Brel Froebe and Benjamin Schultz-Figueroa (of Light Industry) and installations by Sarah Hendrickson, Jade Ajani, Tim Donovan, and Jonah Adels. Think kaleidoscope mobiles, glowing globes, an interactive “brain machine.” The night will be punctuated by sunrise and sunset performances by renowned sound artist Brenda Hutchinson.

The video screening will begin around 8pm, showing new work by: Chris Rice, Saralee Gallien, Aurora Halal, Austin’s Duncan Malashock, San Francisco’s Tyrone Davies (of Loaf-I and the Free-Form Film Festival), Brandon Rosenbluth, Jesse McLean and Portland-based video artist Jesse Malmed (of Deep//Leap).

Musical performances will follow, including Brainstorm, Weaver and Neal Morgan.

Saturday, July 4th – $6
