LOCATION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Place Gallery (Pioneer Place, third floor, 700 SW 5th Ave.  , Portland, )
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Portraitist Gwenn Seemel turns her attention to the animal kingdom in the exhibition <i>Crime Against Nature</i> and draws whimsical but politically relevant parallels between animal and human sexuality.  She offers up a picture of a genderqueer biosphere populated by promiscuous squirrels, infertile camels, lactating male bats, lesbian dolphins, bisexual bonobos and an array of other freak-flag-flying beasts of surf and turf.  As fun as the imagery may be, the show powerfully rebuts right-wingers who point to the animal kingdom as “proof” that sex in nature is uniformly vanilla.<i>Through</i><i> Jan. 12.  </i><p>&nbsp;</p>
