In connection with her current exhibition, Next Level Fucked Up, Vanessa Renwick and the Portland Art Museum welcome artist Colleen Plumb along with musicians Sam Coomes and Marisa Anderson for an evening of video projections accompanied by live music in the Fields Ballroom.

Plumb will showcase work from her video series Removed from the Domain of Struggle in which she documents captive tigers, jaguars, and polar bears pacing in their zoo enclosures. Plumb’s work will be layered with an improvised live music score composed by Coomes and Anderson, longtime Renwick collaborators. Throughout the evening, Renwick will be on hand to share information on advance directives while also passing out free NLFU stickers and sweet treats from Voodoo Donuts.

If it’s possible for an event to be simultaneously gut-wrenching, fun, tasty, deadly serious and beautiful, Renwick will be the one to pull it all together.  Drop-in for all or part of this NLFU evening. The program will conclude before 10 p.m.
