Solution of the Month:
Pushdot Studio’s New Website
|
 |
2009 is going to start with a bang for pushdot as we launch a brand spanking new website on December 1, 2008. This new site makes it easy to see what we’re all about: what’s new with pushdot, all the services we provide, samples of our work, frequently asked questions, and current and past gallery information will all be there! We are super excited to begin the New Year with such a wonderful resource.
Speaking of the New Year, holiday season is upon us. Pushdot will be closed Thursday, November 27th and Friday, November 28th for Thanksgiving; December 25th and December 26th; January 1st and 2nd. Our December show will run through January—there will be no January First Friday reception. Expect to hear from us in January with our February Newsletter and information on our February exhibition of artist Lori Triburgo: www.triburgo.com.
Contact pushdot directly with any questions about our new website or our holiday hours: info@pushdotstudio.com

Zak Margolis, You Were a Perfect Gentleman
Friday December 5th, 2008 through Friday January 30th, 2008
1st Friday Reception: December 5th, 2008, 6-9pm
Pushdot Studio
1021 SE Caruthers St.
Portland, OR 97214
(503) 224-5925
www.pushdotstudio.com
Gallery Hours: Mon-Fri 8:30am to 5:00pm
The drawings in this show depict one of the modules of a larger work in progress Zak Margolis refers to as "Moonbabies." An animated movie with many narrative strings, "Moonbabies" is centered around the three generations leading to the birth of twins from a wolf - the so called "moonbabies." Of special interest, Margolis has animated his own deceased grandfather, Ben Margolis, as the great-grandfather of the moonbabies.
"You Were a Perfect Gentleman" will include some scenes from the lives of the twins' maternal grandparents as well as a special segment featuring the aforementioned Ben Margolis. These themes are explored both through drawings that hang on the wall, and animated vignettes that play on a monitor.
Expect some of Margolis' usual perverse drawings as well as some short animated segments that he's prepared with help from the Regional Arts and Culture Council.
Zak Margolis is an independent animator living in Portland, OR. He's produced several animated music videos over the last few years for bands such as Unwound, Old Time Relijun, and Goldcard. He produced a segment for Andy Blubaugh's film “Scaredycat,” which was screened at the 2007 Sundance film festival. Currently he's developing a project entitled "Moonbabies."
