When I saw the artist call for Boredom: I Learned It By Watching You, I was appalled.  A group show about boredom?  It had to be a farce, a commentary on the state of contemporary art—right?  Whatever it was, I had the perfect response.  I submitted to the curators of the show that I should hang my portraits of Portland art dealers.  Boredom: I learn it everyday by watching the gallery scene and, more specifically, group shows about boredom. 

I never dreamed the curators would bite on my concept, but they did!  I am shocked and delighted that Gabe, Josh Arseneau, and Gavin Shettler do not take themselves too seriously, that they would willingly be the butt of their own joke.
