‘Sludge’ opens in Alexander Gallery

“Sludge,” a collaborative exhibition by artists Jason Loeffler and Heidi Schwegler, opened Tuesday, February 26, in the Alexander Gallery at Clackamas Community College. The show continues through March 22.

The source material for this exhibition is derived from the artists’ long walks through the postindustrial quarters of Portland and New York and includes a concrete boulder exhumed from a building’s foundation alongside well traveled, waxed and worn shipping pallets.

In another display, sound and light elements recompose the winter light of late February. Ten drawings diagram the concentrated, day-dreaming structure of “any place but here” while walking along the broken edge of a city.

“Sludge” is funded in part by the Regional Arts and Culture Council. It is the first exhibition by Loeffler, an artist and sound designer based in Brooklyn, New York, and Schwegler, an artist based in Portland.

An artist reception will take place on February 26, from noon to 1:30 p.m. The Alexander Gallery is located in Niemeyer Center at Clackamas Community College. It is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and during special events. For further information please contact Kate Simmons at 503-594-3032.
