"Lumi Tan emphasizes that host cities of art biennials often see no lasting effects, stating, 'There are no lasting effects.' This year’s Converge 45 aims to change that by fostering ongoing conversations through interactive art."
"Lex's installation, Carnelian, combines operatic video and paintings to explore the absurdity of living in a surveilled world, showcasing her multifaceted artistic approach that includes sculpture and science fiction writing."
"Trisha's 3D video installation, MORE, reflects on the similarities between raising a child and training AI, highlighting the complexities of daily life and the transformative experiences of both parent and child."
Converge 45, curated by Lumi Tan, features works by local and visiting artists in Portland, emphasizing interactive performances and installations. The event, starting August 27, contrasts with typical art fairs by fostering ongoing dialogue rather than showcasing big names. Artists like Lex and Trisha present unique installations that explore themes such as surveillance, absurdity, and the parallels between AI training and parenting. The focus is on creating a meaningful connection with the community and the art itself.
