New Room Studios is proud to present this Portland debut show by the Genius Artist Fellow and matter painter Jeff Beers. “Paper & Raincoat” are the two main ingredients of a new series that unfolds like a mythic cycle of life and death. Beers painstakingly made it out of scraps of thin sheets of paper that he’s aged for 30 years, and surplus raincoat material from Columbia Sportswear. (Beers got the latter from the local nonprofit SCRAP Creative Reuse.) After 16 months of meticulous work, these two simple ingredients have found cosmic depths in this series of 8 pieces. The show also includes a series of Beers’ earlier, more earthy and elemental works. These pieces use tars, paints, emulsions and waxes to explore the microcosms and macrocosms of the materials simultaneously.

Rarely able to afford art supplies, Beers learned at an early age how to make his own. He still makes his own paints and emulsions, and his subject matter often includes materials he’s foraged from the built and natural environments. He works with the materials until he learns their languages and how they want to be seen, and much of his art is in the discipline of letting them speak through him.

This show is hosted by The Salmonberry Trail Foundation, which is dedicated to building an 82-mile trail for hiking and biking from Banks to the Oregon Coast. “Jeff Beers: Paper & Raincoat” will take over their spacious and historic office in downtown Portland in November.

🚨 Newsflash: TNR #612: X-mas Eve

• Organizer: Thursday Night Ride
• Schedule: Meet at 7:00, announcements around 7:30. 🕢 After 7:30, follow us to the next stop.
• Ride Length: 8-15 miles
• End Location: Not a loop, but usually with a fire.

Thursday Night Ride is Portland’s longest-running weekly social ride, rolling out from Salmon Street Springs every Thursday night since 2015!

Routes and ride leaders change weekly, but expect an energetic, party-paced social ride with warmth and weirdness from our welcoming “rolling dive bar” regulars. Most rides feature regularly spaced park and store stops, generally leading to a lively end spot around 11 PM. Come prepared to have fun and celebrate cycling together—other wheeled guests should respect the pace and space of cyclists.

Strong Thursday traditions, stronger shared expectations. While you might see some wheelies and other chaos, riders are expected to follow Shift’s Code of Conduct. If you’ve been asked not to attend *any* Shift rides, you are not welcome at TNR—that’s not up for debate on our ride. No complaints, just accountability—if your behavior makes others feel uncomfortable or unsafe, please leave the ride before the ride leaves you.

TNR works best when everyone helps set the tone and shares responsibility. Look out for each other, welcome new riders and help them find the next stop, leave it better than you found it, give people space when they need it, and help keep the ride moving forward together by practicing Consent, Accountability, Respect, and De-escalation at all times.
Stay behind the ride leader and don’t forget to thank a corker!
