Ok, so what exactly is this “Pecha Kucha” thing? The word itself is Japanese for the sound of conversation, and the event is an opportunity for artists to briefly share their work with an audience, showing 20 images for 20 seconds each. The Portland events typically happen every few months here at SPACE. This event’s guests included (our own event coordinator) Ian Paige + Joshua Loring, John Swan, Marcia Feller, Kathleen Kelly, Michael Shaughnessy, Erin Curren, Ed McCartan, Thomas Hillman, Luke “Lukaduke” Fuller, and Greg Daly. Check out Dennis Stein’s photos from the events below!
