13 Hats — Portrait of a Process — April 3 - 27, 2013 at SOIL Gallery

13 Hats is a collective of eleven visual artists and writers in Portland, Oregon, who came together in 2011 to pursue interdisciplinary work and creative dialogue through collaboration. The work on view at SOIL — including photography, painting, visual poetry, mixed media, sculpture, video — was developed specifically for this exhibition, through a multivalent collaborative process. The group assembled, split, and reconvened in various combinations, and projects evolved through relational contexts and sensibilities. The exhibition is a curated selection from that ongoing process, along with various forms of documentation that are themselves exploratory works.

13 Hats @ 12 × 16 — Feb 28 – March 31, 2013 at 12 × 16 Gallery

This participatory exhibition represents over a year of experimental collaboration and includes artist’s books, performance video, three-dimensional mixed-medium objects, visual poetry and the inaugural issue of The Feralist, a literature and arts journal. A prominent feature of the exhibition is the group’s set of 10 monthly boxes tracking and documenting the evolving group dynamic and leading directly to the collaborative projects.
