Rinde Eckert, On the Great Migration of Excellent Birds

Pulitzer Prize-nominated Eckert—a longtime underappreciated avant garde composer of singular talents—swoops into this year’s TBA as composer and quasi-conductor of a meta-chorus performance piece involving nearly 200 singers from every corner of the Northwest, flocking to Pioneer Courthouse Square as TBA’s opening-night performance. Impossible to miss! SMB. Pioneer Courthouse Square, 701 SW 6th Ave. 6:30 pm Thursday, Sept. 6.

Reading Out Loud

Right in line with this year’s theme of American voices, Buck Skelton has rounded up groups of poets, actors and artists who will read aloud from great American novels (Moby Dick, The Grapes of Wrath , etc.) on street corners, park benches and MAX trains around the city. BW. Various locations, see pica.org for details. Sept. 6-16. Free.

Roberta Uno, Future Aesthetics

A program officer for the Ford Foundation, Uno will discuss the role of hip-hop in contemporary performance. BW. Weiden&Kennedy Atrium. 6 pm Tuesday, Sept. 11.

Urbanhonking, Ultimate Blogger 3

Portland’s popular online media collective presents the third season of its “Internet reality TV show” that pits bloggers against one another in endurance tests and video challenges. BW. Urbanhonking.com/ultimateblogger3. All hours, Sept. 6-16. Melia Donovan, The Clandestine Periphery

Walk by Melia Donovan’s murals and you might miss them entirely. The artist projects photographs onto white walls, then makes pinprick-sized dots along the photo’s contours. Your eyes have to connect the dots in order to see the totality of the composition. The result is an oddly engaging mixture of photography and minimalist sculpture. RS. TBA Central. Noon-6 pm Monday-Friday, Sept. 7-Oct. 5. Guido van der Werve, The Clouds Are More Beautiful From Above

In his short films, classically trained pianist van der Werve’s humor for the highbrow is characteristically Dutch. Of course a team of ballerinas would spill pirouetting from a police transport after the pianist gets hit by a passing car. Of course they would. Isn’t that what always happens? MK. Living Room Theaters, 341 SW 10th Ave. 9 am-2 pm Thursday-Sunday, Sept. 6-Sept. 16. Free. Regina Silveira, Outgrown: Tracks and Shadows

The Brazillian artist will exhibit large-scale works made up of heavy black treadmarks. RS. PNCA. 9 am-9 pm Sept. 6-29. Larry Krone, Larry Krone’s Campfire Exposition

The artist will create a stage set that looks like an Old West campsite, framing the tableau with a large curtain made out of hundreds of pieces of sliced mylar. During TBA’s run, the artist will hold court and sing songs in front of a faux campfire, challenging audience members to question the borders between reality and fantasy. RS. The Lab, Museum of Contemporary Craft, 724 NW Davis St. Sept. 6-16 (Tuesday-Wednesday 11 am-6 pm, Thursday 11 am-8 pm, Friday-Sunday 11 am-6 pm). Space is a Place

A group show takes over an office and turns it into a gallery. RS. Corberry Press, Northwest 17th Avenue and Northrup Street . Noon-6 pm daily.

Larry Bamburg

Bamburg creates enormous kinetic sculptures out of bits of trash and debris. Should be fun. RS. Corberry Press. Noon-6 pm daily.
