Exhibit: The Nuclear Age: 70<br />

Years of Peril and Hope. OSU’s<br />

Valley Library, fifth-floor exhibit gallery, OSU<br />

main campus. The exhibit runs through March.<br />

This year marks the 70th anniversary of the<br />

atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki<br />

during World War II. The Special Collections<br />

and Archives Research Center at OSU Libraries<br />

is honoring this anniversary with an exhibit<br />

featuring a wide-ranging selection of primary<br />

source materials from their rich collections<br />

documenting nuclear history. Original<br />

materials include comics, Geiger counters,<br />

newspapers, photographs, manuscripts, and<br />

letters from famous antinuclear activists<br />

Linus Pauling and Albert Einstein. For info,<br />

visit http://scarc.library.oregonstate.edu.<br />

Exhibit: Daily Objects at The<br />

Arts Center. The Arts Center, 700 SW<br />

Madison Ave. Tuesday through Saturday, 12<br />

– 5 p.m. Runs through Nov. 21. Three young<br />

artists bring attention to objects we encounter<br />

daily. Painter Sarah Fagan, photographer<br />

Susan Rochester, and conceptual artist Sandee<br />

McGee deal with common items in uncommon<br />

ways. They lift items out of context and infuse<br />

them with foreign elements to create an<br />

estrangement or distraction to the original<br />

meaning of each object. This may make one to<br />

examine what “daily objects” mean, or even<br />

what a “daily reality” means. We define our<br />

existence through concrete elements, but when<br />

these concrete elements are questioned, we<br />

can perceive our reality with new insights. The<br />

three artists work in very different styles and<br />

media. For info, visit www.theartscenter.net.<br />

Exhibit: Diverse Dimensions<br />

at Fairbanks Gallery. Fairbanks<br />

Gallery, 220 SW 26th St. 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.<br />

Runs through Nov. 3. In a dimension where<br />

an art practice is similar to the scientific<br />

method lies the work of contemporary<br />

sculptor Ben Butler. With an educational<br />

background in both art and neuroscience,<br />

Butler’s time spent studying molecular and<br />

cellular structures of the nervous system<br />

seems clearly relatable to his highly complex<br />

drawings and sculptures. For info, visit<br />

www.oregonstate.edu/fairbanksgallery.<br />

Exhibit: Soap Creek Artisans.<br />

Benton County Historical Museum, 1101<br />

Main St., Philomath. 10 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.<br />

Runs through Nov. 21. The Soap Creek<br />

Artisans participating in this exhibition are<br />

(painting), Samuel Hoffman (wood-fired<br />

pottery), Vicki Idema (fabric-surface design),<br />

Ann Lahr (ceramics), Judy Moon (watercolors,<br />

ink, and in-between), Kelly Nutter (fused<br />

glass), and Deanna Peters (fused glass). The<br />

Soap Creek Artisans are a group of talented<br />

artists based in Oregon’s Soap Creek Valley.<br />

Known for its unique country setting and<br />

historical past—it is home to the Soap Creek<br />

one-room schoolhouse—Soap Creek Valley<br />

is located 10 miles northwest of Corvallis. For<br />

info, visit www.bentoncountymuseum.org.<br />

is about 100 square feet of display space<br />

Open Call for Submissions –<br />

Pitch & Stark Photography in<br />

Black and White. The Majestic Theatre,<br />

115 SW 2nd Ave. All day. Runs through Oct.<br />

30. The Majestic Theatre is currently holding<br />

an open call to local photographers for<br />

Pitch & Stark: Photography in Black & White<br />

through Oct. 30. In November, the Majestic<br />

Theatre welcomes artists and art lovers<br />

to rediscover the beauty of mono images<br />

in its second community art show of the<br />

season. Black and white remains a cherished<br />

medium for how its subtlety of tones can<br />

strip down an image to its raw composition<br />

in a society of modern technology that<br />

flashes a million colors a minute. The format<br />

complements all types of photography and<br />

light, from movement to landscapes, urban<br />

landscapes, portrait, architecture, or macro<br />

snapshots and creates images bold and<br />

powerful or soft and hazy. All interpretations,<br />

capture types, and processes within the<br />

parameters of the theme are accepted. For<br />

info, visit www.majestic.org/pitchstark.<br />

The Majestic Reader’s Theater.<br />

The Majestic Theatre, 115 SW 2nd Ave. 3 – 5<br />

p.m. and 7 – 9 p.m. Cost: $10 ($8 for students<br />

and seniors). Last Sundays. The company will<br />

offer a production in the “reader’s theater”<br />

style: trained actors, with scripts in hand, make<br />

the play come alive through vocal talent, facial<br />

expressions, and minimal staging. Reader’s<br />

theater plays are a fun, accessible way to<br />

experience contemporary works by famous<br />

modern playwrights that might not otherwise<br />

be performed here. For info or tickets, visit<br />
