LOCATION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Cock Gallery (625 NW Everett St., No. 106, Portland, OR)
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Words written in shiny metallic paint cover Cock Gallery’s walls from top to bottom in Wynde Dyer’s installation, <i>Frantic Efforts to Avoid Real or Imagined Abandonment</i>.  The words envelop and crowd you in, which, along with the dark lighting, makes you feel trapped.  It’s an environment apropos for a show about the past.  This feeling of nostalgia-tinted claustrophobia is heightened by an insistent slide show, entitled <i>Mother’s Lovers</i>, that unfurls on the gallery’s far wall.  It shows a procession of men from an indeterminate period in the 1970s or 1980s, and it’s full of mustaches, chest hair and feathered tresses.  Looking at it, you have a feeling you’ve seen these cheesy guys before, either in your own life or in the bell-bottomed recesses of collective memory.  The show manages to feel both sexy and sad at the same time. <i>Through March 30.</i><p>&nbsp;</p>
