- Damien Gilley's Decoy, on view at PNCA's Manuel Izquierdo Sculpture Gallery
The First Thursday artwalk is going down tonight on the west side. After the jump are expanded details on my top picks of the night, but first, here's a quick rundown of the highlights: Damien Gilley's Decoy opens at PNCA's Manuel Izquierdo Sculpture Gallery (pictured above); local musician and illustrator Tara Jane Oneil is showing her visual works at the Independent Publishing Resource Center ("musical entertainment" is promised); Blue Sky Gallery brought in London's Danny Treacy, who makes costumes out of discarded clothing, then puts on these get-ups and photographs himself; Pony Club's Satan is Real is a group show inspired by "ouiji boards, D&D and heavy metal albums [which were believed to possess] an enormous amount of occult power, capable of perverting young minds"; Lizard Lounge presents xyxx, "a visual conversation between two iPhones and two lovers"; and Adam Sorensen's New Westerns opens at PDX Contemporary.
