D.E. MAY - Notes, Notes, Notes
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
PDX CONTEMPORARY ART is pleased to present Notes, Notes, Notes, a solo exhibition of work by D.E. May.
D.E. May was a natural archivist—attentively cataloguing materials and documenting information. He was known to carry memo pads of 3” x 5” paper to record notes, ideas, and drawings. Some were plans for future artwork, referential sketches, or illustrated studies. Others contained bits of personal research, artistic inspirations, lists, quotes, movie references, games of hangman, playlists, and musings. Sometimes made in his studio, sometimes made at the counter of the local bar—the varied essence of these quickly-made works is a look into the mind and practice of the artist.
Notes, Notes, Notes features a selection of the artist’s jottings. During the duration of the exhibition, we invite visitors to create their own notes and drawings to hang on the wall, which can be collected at the end of the show.
