SUMMARY:Crown of Thought @ Lane Gallery!
DESCRIPTION:WHAT:  The UNITY Project Artists Reception \nWITH:  Kindra Crick (NW Noggin)\, Gila Lane (Portland Audubon)\, Tasha Williams (Black Parent Initiative)\, Teresa White (NAYA)\, Sofia Linde (CHAP)\, Sean Davis (Returning Veterans Project)\, Bonnie Metzler (Friends of the Columbia Gorge)\, Sharon Segal (ORA) \nWHERE:  LANE GALLERY\, 2412 NW Raleigh\, Portland\, OR 97210 \nWHEN:  Saturday April 22\, 5pm-8pm \nFrom Kindra Crick…\nThis work combines current and obsolete understandings of the nature of thought. \n \nIn 2017\, the Allen Institute published an image of specific neurons that encircle and make connections across the entire brain\, hypothesizing that these “giant neurons” project from a region that might be the conductor of consciousness.  This piece is dedicated to the quest for scientific understanding which requires an acceptance of the inherent and often unpredictable mystery of discovery. \nLEARN MORE:  A giant neuron found wrapped around entire mouse brain

SUMMARY:"Four" an exhibit of PNCA graduate students at Gallery 114
DESCRIPTION:Gallery 114 Hosts PNCA Exhibit \nAs part of an ongoing collaboration with the Pacific Northwest College of Art\, in February Gallery 114 hosts a show of MFA candidates entitled “Four.”  Four PNCA graduate students present paintings\, prints\, and installation work in a show curated by Maximiliano Martinez\, MFA candidate in visual studies.  “Four” runs February 2 through February 25\, with a First Thursday opening reception for the artists February 2\, 6-9 pm.  Regular gallery hours are noon to 6 pm Thursday through Sunday. \nGallery 114 artist Jeff Leake organized the first PNCA exhibit last year of Print Media students and coordinated this year’s show as well.  Maximiliano Martinez\, who curates the show\, is one of his former students. \n“Four” features the work of Carla G. Javier-Brea\, Aruni Dharmakirthi\, Melanie Stevens\, and Angelica Maria Millan Lozano.  The exhibit is about roots and rootlessness\, leaving and arriving\, says curator Martinez. “It’s about the people we love\, it’s about the hands we grew up holding\, it’s about story\, it’s about who has been telling story\, . . it’s about our myths.” \nCarla G. Javier-Brea is studying for an MFA in Print Media.  She spent many years traveling and living in the Dominican Republic\, where her parents were born.  While living in the Dominican Republic she pursued a career in Advertising and Visual Communication at the Universidad Ibero-Americana.  There she first encountered analog photography and explored developing and printing her own film.  These pursuits led her to explore all parts of her island\, seeking subject matter\, engaging strangers in conversation and then snapping their portraits. Much of her work reflects her roots in the Dominican Republic\, its mythology and folklore.  She describes her art as an exploration of self\, her multi-cultural background\, family mythology and traditions\, superstitions and childhood memories. \nAruni Dharmakirthi is a Sri Lankan artist based in Portland\, who earned a BA in Studio Art and Art History from Florida State University and is completing an MFA in Visual Studies. Aruni is co-founder and curator at SoftSpacepdx\, a video+new media project space that creates a platform for emerging artists. Aruni’s work uses digital animation and fibers to create installations that move back and forth in time\, exploring known and untold histories. The political and the personal come together to recall the journey of migration\, connecting it to the tragedies of colonization and the continued violence of imperialism. These histories are re-imagined into digital culture\, blurring the lines between contemporary and traditional\, eastern and western. \nMelanie Stevens is an artist\, illustrator\, and writer from Atlanta\, Georgia.  She received her BA in Political Science from Yale University in 2001 and created the graphic novel\, Black Picket Fences.  She is also co-founder and editor of Miss Anthology\, an organization that supports racially and economically diverse young\, female comic artists through hands-on training in workshops and publishing online and in print.  Stevens creates public installations and interactions that examine the experiences of people of color\, and what she calls “the unspoken and hidden perceptions and power dynamics wielded against them.  I challenge audiences\,” claims Stevens\, “by presenting work that mimics the constructs of psychological implications of access and privilege.” \nAngelica Maria Millan Lozano is a fiber and performance artist from Bogota\, Colombia\, who moved to Portland to work on an MFA in Visual Studies.  Her work questions the ethical implications of social injustices that affect Latinas in the home.  She creates abstract and figurative compositions on distressed fabrics\, juxtaposing various remnants that symbolize her experiences of Colombian and American cultures. \n    \nThere will be an opening reception at Gallery 114 from 6-8 pm on Thursday February 2nd.

SUMMARY:Noggin @ Velo Cult:  Chronic Pain & Mary Jane
DESCRIPTION:Ram Kandasamy from WSU Vancouver presents research on cannabinoids and chronic pain along with Portland musicians Bob Desaulniers and Tony Remple at the incomparable Velo Cult Bicycle Repair Shop and Pub! \n \nVELO CULT FLYER (pdf):  Chronic Pain & Mary Jane \nWHAT:  Chronic Pain & Mary Jane with music from Bob Desaulniers and Tony Remple \nWHERE:  Velo Cult\, 1969 NE 42ND AVE PORTLAND\, OR 97213 \nWHEN:  Wednesday\, January 25th\, 2017\, 6 – 8pm \nRam Kandasamy is a behavioral pharmacologist at Washington State University interested in the analgesic effects of opioids and cannabinoids. Ram has studied pain and analgesia for nearly a decade and has garnered state-level funding for his work on the pharmacology of pain therapeutics. He has published many peer-reviews publications on this topic and has presented his work on national and international stages. Ram’s current research examines the therapeutic effects of ∆9-tetrahydrocannabinol against pain associated with primary headache disorders such as migraine. The goal of Ram’s research is to validate cannabinoid-based therapies for patients suffering from migraine\, the most common neurological disorder in the world. \nBob Desaulniers is bassist of Portland punk band Lithics and will be presenting a sound composition using multitrack and handheld tape recorders. \nTony Remple is co-owner of the Musique Plastique record shop and will be improvising on a modular analog synthesizer\, using repetition and a mixture of both traditionally musical and non-musical elements. \nNW Noggin Velo Cult events are always free\, open to the public\, child friendly\, and feature access to amazing beer (scroll here for current tap list)\, wine\, coffee\, tea\, sodas and sandwiches…

SUMMARY:Marijuana: Fact or Fiction. Art\, Pain\, and Cannabinoids
DESCRIPTION:WHAT:  “Marijuana: Fact or Fiction. Art\, Pain\, and Cannabinoids\,” Sponsored by the Washington Academy of General Dentistry \nWHERE:  Washington AGD Educational Center\, Heyamoto Conference Room\, 19415 International Blvd\, #410\, SeaTac\, WA 98188 \nWHEN:  Saturday\, January 21\, 2017\, 8:00am – 5:00pm \n \nCourse Outline:\nCannabis\, marijuana\, is legal in the states of Washington\, Oregon\, and Colorado for both medical and recreational use. Is it as benign as proponents say? No. Are the warnings of “Reefer Madness” true? No. On January 21st\, 2017 at the Washington AGD Educational Center we will talk about what is true about the benefits of medical marijuana. We will also talk about the harm it can do\, especially to young people. This discussion is based on current science. \nFew dentists or other healthcare practitioners understand what cannabis does\, positive or negative. The cannabinoid system in the human body is enormously important in controlling such diverse mechanisms as pain\, mood\, and inflammation. Hacking this system with cannabis drugs can be beneficial and it can be dangerous. Learn how it works and what we actually know. In the morning David Carsten\, DDS\, MAGD\, Dentist Anesthesiologist will explain the essentials of the pharmacology and physiology of cannabis. He will talk about the relevance to treatment both from a dentist’s perspective and an anesthesiologist’s perspective. Blaine Chatterton is a chronic pain patient and marijuana consultant. He will talk about his real life experience and his experience as a consultant for people seeking relief. In the afternoon\, Bill Griesar\, PhD\, Neuroscience WSU Vancouver and Psychology\, Portland State University will lead an exploration of the science of cannabinoids. Included is Jeff Leake\, MFA\, who will speak regarding the effect of these drugs on artists developing works of art. Ram Kandasamy\, PhD\, Neuroscience\, WSU Vancouver will discuss his latest research on cannabinoids. Cole Dawson\, undergraduate\, WSU Vancouver\, will be leading an examination of brain specimens. At the end of the day there will be a panel discussion to answer your questions. The most critical information that we all should know as doctors\, patients\, and parents will be available to you. \nLearning Objectives:\nLearners will hear about the history\, pharmacology\, and physiology of cannabis\nParticipants will examine the various uses and abuses\, the benefits and dangers of cannabis.\nParticipants will learn about practical implications of cannabis use.\nParticipants will hear about examples of medical marijuana use today.\nParticipants will hear about the real life experience of a chronic pain patient.\nParticipants will learn of the complexity and variability of drug content.\nParticipants will have a clear grasp of where cannabis acts in the brain and how this might relate to various therapeutic effects\, including pain reduction.\nParticipants will gain an understanding of the long history of cultivation\, artistic use\, and medical use of marijuana.\nParticipants will be able to examine brain specimens to gain a hands-on appreciation of how this family of drugs work. \nFOR MORE INFORMATION:  “Marijuana: Fact or Fiction.
