West Coast art history

Portland was an excellent place to be this weekend for expanding my knowledge of West Coast art history. I saw Morgan Neville's Cool School on Friday at the Northwest Film Center. Neville was there to comment on the film. Tom Marioni gave a talk at Reed College on Saturday. I was very pleasantly surprised that much of the work he showed clicked with me. Finally, Kathan Brown of Crown Point Press gave a talk at PAM on Sunday.
