The second exhibit in the Art in the Information Age series, Songlines, opens September 4 at Point.B Studio in Port Orford, Oregon. In traditional aboriginal culture, songlines are paths followed by a knowledgeable person (or "creator-spirit") who navigates the land by repeating the words of the song chanting the location of landmarks, waterholes, and other natural phenomena.

William Paul Gaetjens was born in Long Beach, CA, in 1946, to a family with a long tradition of working in metal. An early interest in art led to a creative mastery of the medium, with studies at the California College of Arts and Crafts and The DeYoung Museum School. In the 1970's, he worked as an iron worker on the Alaskan Pipeline. This real world experience influences his art today.

Inside / Outside is about art in the context of crime and incarceration. Prison art inevitably opens a dialogue about crime and punishment, public safety and a myriad of issues related to the criminal justice system. While welcoming this conversation, this Art In City Hall exhibition primarily explores art that comes from the most desperate of places – a form of art “outside” of the mainstream and created within confinement — art from “inside”.
