Mike Bennett's Bernie Sanders Meme

This event is in the past
Every day, through January 24
Alberta Arts Pavilion
Concordia (Portland)
This is an in-person event
Bernie Sanders and his utilitarian parka unknowingly took over the internet (again) when a photographer captured the beloved socialist politician waiting for Biden's inauguration ceremonies to commence while he sat on a lonely folding chair with his legs and mittened hands crossed, as if he were waiting for his number to be called at the DMV on a chilly winter's day. The onslaught of memes flooded in fast, but Portland artist Mike Bennet's signature handpainted cardboard cut-out version of the photo definitely takes the cake. You can see it in person in the Alberta Arts District (location details here) among the artist's installation of zoo animals.
