GUERRILLA GALLERY: On May 3, MENSK artists Eli Cayer and Carl Haase rolled out the second season of their traveling guerrilla gallery. This year, as in 2003 (they skipped a year), the gallery is located in the back of a truck which travels around Portland during the First Friday Artwalk. The Phoenix played groupie for the first run, which hit locations in front of SPACE Gallery on Congress Street, in Longfellow Square (pictured here), and finally in Congress Square. Also, there may or may not have been a couple of minutes in between in which the truck was parked illegally in the sandlot next to the new Geno’s, but you didn’t hear that from us. In fact, forget we said anything. Guerrilla. The inaugural show featured photo-train photographs from local artist Frank Menair and cacophonous tunes performed on the sidewalk by Portland percussionist extraordinaire Paul Bosse and friends. In keeping with the art-in-your-face angle, Cayer wouldn’t say where the truck might be during next month’s First Friday. He even, actually, wasn’t sure who or what would be inside it. But he was sure it would be unpredictable.
