A still from one of Posie Currin's films at Backtalk.

There will be new shows up all along the corridor at businesses like Albina Press, Black Wagon, Flutter, good: a gallery, Optik PDX, Mississippi Chiropractic, and Paxton Gate, and for the first time relative newcomer to the neighborhood Backtalk is joining the fray, too, with a show that looks to be one of the evening’s highlights, a mash of “crystal photography, vibrant colored-pencil drawings, and ridiculously cool video art” by Posie Currin:
