Opening Friday 20 June, 6–11pmPerformances on Friday night after 8pm by Matthew Brown and Tarab.

20 June – 22 June.Fri 6–11pm,Sat–Sun 1pm–11pm.

Utopian architecture, cardboard, boyhood nostalgia, cable-ties,repetition, light, dope, esoteric geometries and locked grooves.A large-scale installation/device.

In short: we've built some big stuff that you can climb inside. Thereis also a stupidly limited edition of 3 Chronox 7" dub-plate recordsmade for this show, each containing 20 locked grooves. If you'reinterested, this will be your only chance to get one of these. Oncethese precious objects are gone, they're gone forever.

Also, all the galleries on the street will be having openings too, soif yr up for a gallery crawl Friday's your night.

On Saturday afternoon we will have a Mini-Mercado Art Market out thefront from midday to 4pm or so. There will be simultaneous art/craftmarkets going on in various spots on High st.

If you're thinking of dropping in on Saturday or Sunday, please notethat the best time to experience Chronox is in the evening. Justsayin'.

And as a final incentive, this weekend marks the second birthday ofForepaw as a venue. So, you know, come help us celebrate. We're kindof stunned that we've gotten away with it for this long.

ALSO: Trails, our free monthly Drawing Thing, 7pm til whenever nextTuesday the 24th.

THURSDAY, JUNE 5, 2008
6-10 PM
FLOATING WORLD COMICS
David Chelsea will appear at Floating World Comics, in Portland’s historic Chinatown district, celebrating the release of his book 24×2, published by Top Shelf Productions. 24×2 collects two 24-page stories, each created over the course of a 24-hour period!

The party will also celebrate the opening of a gallery show at Floating World, featuring the art of legendary alternative cartoonists Peter Bagge, J.R. Williams, and Mats!?. The show will run through June 30th.

David Chelsea is a Portland-based cartoonist and illustrator. His graphic novels David Chelsea in Love (1992) and Welcome to the Zone (1995) have earned him a cult following. His hybrid graphic novel / textbook Perspective! For Comic Book Artists (1997) has helped cartoonists create realistic worlds for over a decade. His illustrations for the “Modern Love” column greet readers of the New York Times every week.

But perhaps his most unique achievement is his history with the 24-hour comic book — a complete 24-page comic book story, created from start to finish in 24 hours. Since his first 24-hour comic experience in 2004, Chelsea has returned again and again to this comic-book crucible, completing his stunning TENTH 24-hour comic on April 5, 2008.

Now, Top Shelf Productions presents the cream of Chelsea’s crop: two hand-picked 24-hour comics from the reigning champion of the form.

WHO: David Chelsea, Peter Bagge, J.R. Williams, Mats!?, and the public!
WHAT: Gallery show, opening reception, book release party for David Chelsea’s 24×2
