Brennan Conaway is showing A PANORAMIC VIEW OF THE CITIES BURNING BELOW – THE SECOND COLONY at Doppler PDX, 625 NW Everett Street #109 in
Portland, OR June 3-12, 2010 and by appointment. Opening Reception: June 3rd 5:30-9:00pm, Gallery Hours: Saturdays (June 5th & 12th) 1-4pm. Conaway continues his installation-based investigations of post-apocalyptic survival colonies and his exploration of unusual site habitation which he began last year with IN JOYFUL ANTICIPATION OF CATASTROPHIC RUIN – THE FIRST COLONY, a utopia village built in the PDX Contemporary Art’s Window Space. Conaway creates an architectural sculpture of a free-floating airship. He references the mid-1800s practice of the first aeronauts who used balloons to fly and leave the world behind (if only momentarily). These early aerial investigators fueled the public’s imagination with fantastic ideas about the possibilities of balloon-flight (visions of flying hotels, soaring ships, and villages aloft). Conaway’s THE SECOND COLONY represents the grand hopes of what could be built in the sky – a communal house which he imagines floating above cities that are burning out. It is an alternative to the feverish consumption of things which burns through our society; it’s a place where we can regain our sense of wonder.  http://www.dopplerpdx.com.
