Last year ubu studio started a tradition of sorts. Our February/March
show had a monkey theme and the playful nature of the show gave
a nice warm feeling in the midst of the cold and gloom of midwinter
cabin fever season. Well this year we've come up with another theme
of similar spirit but with added twist. This year for the February/March
show we put together a group show with the theme of CLOWNS! The
title of the show is "Funny-Scary-Happy-Sad: Contemporary Clown
Art" The work in this show explores the mixed responses most people
have to clowns. Are clowns playful and happy or are they sinister
and evil? Opening night will feature the one-nite-only reunion of
Portland's very own Circus Jazz Sax and Drums Duo: The Clown School
Dropouts! They'll perform a short set of avant schmaltz at 6:00
pm



drawing by my friend Joe. Joe's secret obsessions
with clowns in his closet was a main inspiration to this show.
