Grand Detour presents THINK/FEEL : The experimental Cinema of Andrew Klaus

Grand Detour, a new center for experimental media, is opening its doors this

May.

The space (located in the historic John Deere building in industrial SE) will be a

destination for national and international touring filmmakers and curators. We

are planting the seeds towards our larger goal of becoming Portland’s hub for

innovative video and media related artworks. Grand Detour will be a haven for

underground artists, digital methods classes, installations, and community

discourse.

Grand Detour is kicking off its inaugural summer with a series of presentations

from Portland experimental filmmakers and video artists. We are extremely

pleased to be sharing our Portland debut with local filmmaker Andrew Klaus

THINK/FEEL: The experimental cinema of Andrew Klaus

“Evoking Kenneth Anger and Floria Sigismondi, Klaus is able to rend a delicate and exquisite beauty out

of the ugly margin of the world. By turns seductive and confrontational, his work is as frightening as a

lighting storm, and just as powerfully electric.”

Nick Mattos (writer)

Portland filmmaker Andrew Klaus has a well earned reputation for exploring

the darker corners of the creative experience. His pieces mine the

subconscious for provocative and surreal imagery, the erotics of power, and

the fine balance between lust and fear “with a strong visual style and

narrative tendencies” (auteur Bruce La Bruce). Klaus explores the artists’

portrayal of self in a body of work writer Byron Beck claims as having “the

subversion of Piss Christ and the reverence of La Pieta.”

Klaus has contributed to LIFEBOAT: Hamptons, the inaugural Scratching the

Surface arts fair, Odds and Ends (Seattle, WA) and has directed several short

films including THIS HOUSE IS NOT A HOME, winner of the 2007 VISUALS

Film Fest Audience Award and Lazarus (Official Selection BANG! Festival de

Videoarte de Barcelona; Barcelona Spain). Klaus has collaborated with such

artistic luminaries as Holly Andres, Grace Carter, Andy Goldsworthy, Silas

Howard, and the Butchies. He maintains the culture and arts blog DIGGING’

TO CHINA and is married to fellow respected artist-law student-and-toy

designer Taylor Vineyard.

Also screening, The Porno, an animated “adult” short by Justin Warner.

Justin Warner is a native Portland, Oregon artist. His work has appeared in

local theaters and stage productions from New York to Seattle. He works

closely with a local band, Violet Uprising, and has his fingers in many different

aspects of video and animation and music. Written about in The New York

Times and many articles and blogs, both nationally and internationally, he

hopes to continue to produce work that shocks and amuses.

I am Not Myself Today (2010) [NSFW]

An art piece by award-winning filmmaker Andrew Klaus I Am Not Myself Today explores the separation between the subjective sense of self as an artist and the objectivity expressed through one's work. I Am Not Myself Today is about the blurred lines between fact and fiction, experience and recreation. I Am Not Myself Today features writer Nick Mattos.
