Current Exhibition


Kinematics
Works by Rob McKirdie

Jan. 6 – Feb. 3, 2025

The Alexander Gallery is pleased to present "Kinematics" an exhibition of mixed media constructions, drawing machines and kinetic sculptures by artist, Rob McKirdie. This exhibition runs Jan. 6 through Feb. 3, 2025. An artist reception will be held Wednesday, Jan. 15 at noon and the artist will speak about his work at 12:30 p.m. In "Kinematics," things that have shaken loose from material culture are gathered, investigated, grouped and organized to explore ideas of narrative through connection. Unique methods of joinery and craftsmanship are used to create sculptural works that suggest new identities and emphasize the materials that have constructed them. Rob McKirdie is a Washington State based artist and educator. His work has been exhibited throughout the United States and supported by the Artist Trust of Washington. Please join us in celebrating this work!

The Alexander Gallery is located in the Niemeyer Center at Clackamas Community College. It is open Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. with the exception of campus holidays. Admission is free. For more information, contact Kate Simmons at 503-594-3032 or kates@clackamas.edu.
