The Presidential Ham

Kathryn and Brian visited Portland over the weekend, and had the fun idea of going to check out some 'art' in the Pearl district.  Thor and I had no idea where to go to see 'art' in Portland (I'm sure this is not surprising to any of you who know us!) - so Brian selected a show out of a local indy newspaper.  His selection: The Presidential Ham.

The Presidential Ham ended up being a series of 44 oil paintings - one for each of our dear American Presidents.  As the name implies - in each painting the President is holding a ham. In addition to the hung portraits there was an interactive component to the show as well - there were two paper mache hams on a table that you were encouraged to pick up and take your picture with. You were then supposed to send your picture to the artist, Bijijoo. Below you can see Thor and I's contributions to their collection.  Overall it was quite an interesting experience - followed up by a delicious lunch at Kenny & Zuke's.  Yum!
