Portland, OR - Tilt Gallery and Project Space is pleased to present "Chain Reaction" by Portland artist Stephen Slappe.  Using equal parts satire and science fiction, Chain Reaction captures the anxiety induced by the invention of oppositional spectacles.  Transforming the gallery space into a multi channel video installation, Slappe uses pop culture archetypes to serve as ambassadors of falsehood.

Slappe's work will be on exhibit December 7-29, 2006 at Tilt Gallery and Project Space, 625 NW Everett, Suite 106, Portland, Oregon. A reception for the artist will be held on Thursday December 7 from 6-9pm.

Stephen Slappe received his MFA from the University of South Carolina in 2001 and his BFA from University of North Florida in 1997.  He is currently showing work in Sisyphean Desires, Systems, and Devises" an exhibition of time-based video works curated by Avantika Bawa.  His work has also been shown at Crawl Space in Seattle, the South Carolina State Museum Atrium, and in the 2004 TBA festival presented by PICA.
