SUMMARY:Chicxulub\, an art show
CONTACT:Eva Frazier
DESCRIPTION:Let's ride together to see an awesome photography show in a 
 derelict house in north Portland!\nThere might even be an asteroid 
 pinata...\n\nApproximately 66 million years ago\, a large asteroid 6.21 
 miles (10 km) in diameter crashed into the Yucatán Peninsula\, leaving a 
 giant crater near the modern-day town of Chicxulub\, Mexico. The aftermath
  of the impact changed the trajectory of life on Earth forever. This event
  ended the reign of the dinosaurs in a cataclysm that erupted in forest 
 fires\, earthquakes\, and a deluge of dust and ash that blocked the sun\, 
 creating a sudden drop in surface temperature that persisted for a decade 
 or longer. \n\nWhile tragic for what was then the natural order\, the 
 seeds of renewal were sown by the asteroid itself. Recent scientific 
 inquiry has indicated that the asteroid induced a “vast subsurface 
 hydrothermal system that became an oasis for the recovery of life.”* In 
 ultimate destruction\, renewal. In endings\, new beginnings. In darkness\,
  a tiny pinprick of light.\n\nOn a much smaller scale\, we at Rubus 
 Discolor Project are approaching our own extinction event. After four 
 years and seven shows\, we have sold the house\, and in the coming months 
 it will be deconstructed\, taken apart piece by piece\, window by window\,
  and brick by brick. Following the rules of urban succession\, an 
 apartment complex will take its place. The end of the current phase of RDP
  is bittersweet as most meaningful change is.\n\nFor this last show\, 
 fourteen photographers contributed images that symbolize Chicxulub. 
 Brooklyn-based C.C.\, our fifteenth artist\, shared an unpublished zine 
 titled\, It Was Good\, in which they rewrote the first chapter of Genesis 
 redacting any mention of God\, so that the world creates itself. Along the
  walls of the house\, wheat pasted photographs are interspersed with the 
 atheistic creation myth. A neglected aquarium with a single floating 
 fish\, a volcano mid-eruption\, a file cabinet bearing the words “disaster
  plan in here”. Lying flat on a table are Chicxulub-inspired gouache 
 paintings by artist and curator\, Leslie Hickey. Photographs have arrived 
 from near and far: The USA\, Peru\, Norway\, England\, Germany\, Spain\, 
 Italy\, Egypt\, India\, and somewhere along the Mediterranean. All are 
 wheat pasted to the walls of the house and will remain there for as long 
 as the house stands.\nMeet at 5:00\, roll out at 5:20\nEnds at Rubus 
 Discolor Project\, North Portland near the rosa parks yellow line
