unBLOGGED Podcast.5

Our special guest this week is artist Cary Doucette, he manages the 12×16 Gallery and his own image-filled blog, Left Coast Ramblings. We discuss his current exhibition (open only through 1/27) and a bit about the growth and changes at his member-based gallery space, now in Portland’s outlying Sellwood neighborhood. His new work deals with our industrial surroundings, detritus and the re-collage of visual elements into various grids of imagery that he calls Visual Contextomy. After travels to New York and through a barrage of images of war of which we are often exposed, he lays out his visual plan and talks about the work intimately, both in its physical and conceptual details. You can see Doucette’s work at 12×16 (8235 SE 13th Ave in Sellwood through Sunday).

Very nice interview. I enjoyed hearing Cary and TJ’s take on the art. Hearing people talk about the image groupings adds a lot. Thanks, LUKE

Thanks Luke, it was an edited down version of a very wonderful discussion about Cary’s work and the gallery. Looking forward to more of your work too, in the future….
