an imagined place (here and now) by Satpreet Kahlon at Portland Institute for Contemporary Art. On view until May 23, 2026.
Transported to another world in this poignant and personal installation by Kahlon. Also — there is a soundtrack by the artist that plays in the space, that accompanies the work so well. (*unfortunately our videos do not do a good job in capturing it so we had to omit— go see the show!.) ✨ There are so many details in this show: gemstones, mini videos, pulsating candles, spend some time with it. Curated by @kristankennedy

"Inside the vast hall, the narrative unfolds through a field of sculpture, reflection, image, and sound. At its center stands a massive, ring-like formation, an uneven halo constructed from recycled styrofoam and other salvaged materials. The forms are covered in plaster and pigment, surfaces alternately smoothed and roughed to appear geological from a distance. Up close, the illusion dissolves. This rock reveals itself as packaging foam, cardboard, and fragments of the industrial present."
— Kristan Kennedy @kristankennedy , from her #curatorial #statement on "an imagined place (here and now)” by Satpreet Kahlon @itssatpreet

By turns both frank and funny, Cameron addresses the impact of addiction and mental illness in her life, as well as her mother’s suicide, in a candid account of her journey. This personal narrative culminates in the birth of Dynasty Handbag, and her gutting commentary on contemporary life. In a first, both Jibz Cameron and Dynasty Handbag will appear each evening to tell the story of these intimately intertwined halves of one iconic individual.
Don't miss out! Jibz Cameron/Dynasty Handbag is performing at PICA in just a couple of weeks! Get your tickets for May 11 and 12 — while you still can! Link in bio for more info.
