Today's shopping adventure brought my bike and I to Grass Hut located at 8th and East Burnside in Portland, Oregon. Not to rub it in, but I am pretty lucky that I live in a city where I can go to establishments like this on my bike. Lucky! So Lucky! I digress. On with the POST!
Come on in! Grasshut is open Wednesday-Sunday 12-7pm
Grass Hut is a studio to Bwana Spoons and Justin "Scrappers" Morrison , an amazingly active gallery and a retail space filled with books, zines, toys, buttons, patches and other colorful goodness. Scrappers and Bwana both appeared on my radar a few years back when Scrappers and I were in The Wurst Gallery's We Heart Gocco Show. I thought his interview was pretty genius and he included a link to Bwana Spoons as someone he was inspired by. Before moving to Portland, I had been spying on the shows they were having at Grass Hut and couldn't wait to see more in person.
The counter where you take your Grass Hut goods that you can't wait to take home.
When I explored yesterday, the space was filled with work by Andrew Brandou, Chris Johanson, Tim Biskup to name a just a few. A group show with the awesome title of "Four Way Make-Out" was installed in the main space that included Matt Furie, Jay Howell, Dawn Riddle and Matthew Feyld.
I LOVE THIS PLACE. I spent an incredibly long time in there yesterday and I still have more to see when I go back again.
Small taste of toys. Blue monster saying " come to the grass hut...rawrwar!"
Zines! Zines! Zines!
