DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:How can you not like a show called <i>Portland as Fuck</i>?  This group exhibition is loosely themed around the reasons we love our fair city of stumps.  Fortunately, the artists didn’t take the assignment too literally; this is no <i>Portlandia</i> retread, but rather an essence-isolating distillation of sometimes oblique references.  Among the highlights are Ryan Bubnis’ abstracted mountains and rivers; Brett Superstar’s witty wool wall sculpture of Paul Bunyan; and Timothy Karpinski’s multicolored laurel wreath.  And then there is Tripper Dungan’s depiction of a beer-swilling monkey on roller skates.  Viewers will scratch their heads, say “What the...?” and then smile when the light bulb turns on.  Who is that beer-swilling monkey?  He is not in our stars, dear Brutus, but in ourselves. <i>Through March 3.</i><p>&nbsp;</p>
