HOT SHOTS: There are some beautiful dudes hanging out in Portland this month. And they just so happen to be on gallery walls. On Wednesday night I previewed a few new shows opening tonight in two of the Pearl District's finest galleries. First up was Gus Van Sant's Cut-Ups at PDX Contemporary Art. The large-scale digital photo mash-ups look like they've been just tacked up on the walls (in fact, fancy magnets hold them in place) giving the illusion that this is how they might look in Van Sant's studio. Gus himself, who flew up from Los Angeles where he's been putting the finishing touches on his new film, Restless, seemed pleased with how the show looked as well as his friends who turned up to see the work including Emily Crumpacker, Jordan Schnitzer and Drs. Geoff Beasely and Jim Sampson (above with Gus, center). Emily's son/"It" boy, Peter Smith, who was spotted at Van Sant's opening, also made an appearance at nearby Froelick Gallery to see a portrait of himself painted by Leiv Fagereng who is currently showing work next to Sarah Horowitz and the incredible Alfred Harris.
