KALA showcases 2 Portland artists the month of Sept/Oct. New acrylic paintings and drawings on paper from multidisciplinary artist SM@cK (aka Ser- gei Khlopoff), and paintings by Paul Soriano. SM@cK, who lives and primarily works in Portland, Oregon, explores various media such as acrylic painting, watercolors, drawings, video and anima- tion in his pursuit to define an autonomous voice and to examine our interactions with ourselves and with our local and global environments. Also on display will be select acrylic on canvas pieces from his “Alternate Evolutions” series, previously exhibited at the former Mark Woolley Gallery. Lifetime painter Paul Soriano, and curator/director of Cock Gallery (2011-2014) will display new works, and retain pieces from The Coast is Queer show this past summer at KALA. Of his works, rich and de- tailed in layers of color, Soriano paints in the genre of erotica, his figurative subjects often interwoven with aspects of nature. Says Soriano, “My works SMA@CK acrylic on canvas are plays on the nature of the quantum universe. The process begins with a forty-five minute meditation in the Kundalini tradition. Paint is then randomly applied to the chosen surface. The resulting field becomes analogous of the universe. Within this field are the beginnings of ASOC presents a narrative that defines itself as it unfolds.” His works represent recent explorations of this process in an attempt to integrate into the Oct 7 - 22 ASOC Playhouse visceral fabric of the work itself, both intentionally and subconsciously.

Rockaway Beach Citizens for Watershed Protection is leading a coalition of conservation groups calling on legislators in Salem to reform Or- egon’s outdated forest practices laws, the weakest on the West Coast. The coalition insists that until those laws are improved, timberowners should notify Oregon State Parks who should in return notify the public anytime they may be exposed to toxic herbicides while recreating in Oregon’s beautiful parks. According to Mike Manzulli, a local activist who often surfs at Oswald West State Park, “Weyerhaeuser aerially sprayed herbicides southeast of Arch Cape on August 19th. That was the hottest day of the summer. The beaches were absolutely packed. Children were playing inall the coastal streams that day. Were State Park users exposed to the herbicides? I don’t know,but herbicide drift happens and the State doesn’t require notice to the public. Most industrial timber owners sure aren’t going to go above what is legally required and draw extra attention to what they are doing, so no one knew it was happening.” While legal in Oregon, forest practices of clear cutting and spraying of toxic herbicides after each cut without notifying the public has signifi- cant negative impacts on coastal communities; exposing local residents and visitors to known carcinogens, damaging local drinking water, and destroying habitat for fish and other wildlife.

Dawn Stetzel: I engineer sculptures that allow me to navigate specific environments. Ski Cart is made with materials from areas in which it is meant to maneuver, the edges of places where nature and humans collide leaving a seemingly messy residue. The massive pile of trash at Recology’s Transfer Station reads to me as a mountainous landscape, one in which I think about literally and metaphorically. How can I navigate through this landscape of waste? Within my work Sean Barrow: Mandala Rotation, work in progress I think about perceptions of safety and how to survive in a potentially unsafe environment.

Oct 16 hipfishmonthly.com 14 Let’s Reclaim Democracy In a true democracy, those who are impacted by a decision get to help make that decision. Rulings like “Citizens United” allow the country’s richest corporations and individuals to pour billions into elections, giving them an especially loud voice in the decision-making process. Laws are popping up across the country that make it harder for real people to vote, taking the ability to decide what’s best for their community away from them. It is time to reclaim democracy for the people. To truly have government of, by and for the people we need to make it easier, not harder, for everyone A Rural Oregon that Works for All People to vote.
