Expanding on a past project where she unofficially designated herself as Artist in Residence at the Goodwill Super Store in SE Portland, Laurel Kurtz is coordinating a project administered by the Office of Inclusion and Parallel University for PICA’s Time Based Art Festival’s Neighborhood Projects where she has unofficially officially appointed Vicki Lynn Wilson and John larsen as Artists in Residence in the same locale.

Vicki Lynn Wilson and John Larsen have proposed:

Using only a laptop, camera, and materials and sounds that can be found at the Goodwill Super Store on 1943 SE Sixth Avenue, Vicki Lynn Wilson and John Larsen will create a stop motion animation of approximately 4 minutes. The following evening they will have a reception and screening of the animation projected on a wall at Nosh, which is one block from the Goodwill site.

On Friday, September 12, they will arrive at the Goodwill Super Store with a camera and laptop and a canopied pick-up truck (please see below). They intend to shoot the stop motion frames on sets constructed from materials from the Goodwill. They will shoot the frames in the canopied pick-up truck in the parking lot of the Goodwill.

They will collect Foley sounds and dialogue from the Goodwill materials as well as from participating store patrons. An advertisement will be circulated encouraging people who may be stopping by the Goodwill that day to engage in their production as a grip, best boy, Foley or assistant to the creative directors. All participants will be acknowledged with their name and neighborhood in the credits of the movie.

On Saturday they will continue editing the movie off-site.

About the canopied truck: This truck is a traveling gallery called the Bernadette Gallery, owned and operated by Vicki Wilson. This project will be the first official show at the Bernadette Gallery, which will then be renovated and curated as an art space that can be viewed wherever the truck is, through the canopy windows.

Friday, September 12 10am-8pm Artists in Residence working at the Goodwill Super Store.
