KAMP Gallery presents Trace, the debut solo exhibition by Portland, Oregon based artist, performer, and clothing designer Andrea Dyes. 

Andrea’s work carefully examines the human body and its portrayal through various media. Trace features pieces created with human hair collected over 13 years, distorting and reinterpreting intimate commonplace objects to show how they tether to both grief and nostalgia. The exhibition further explores this idea through scents developed in collaboration with Cameron J Black and a music score by Felisha Ledesma.

KAMP Gallery presents the debut solo exhibition by Los Angeles-based filmmaker, photographer, and Halcyon Veil co-founder, Lane Stewart. Grey Area is a collection of photographs and a 3-channel video installation created between 2018 and 2025, spanning a period of nomadic living when the concept of home remained perpetually elusive. This body of work explores the alchemical process of finding comfort within uncertainty.

Alongside the exhibition, Stewart and KAMP ABC produced a corresponding book of photographs created in this same period. The works in this book give shape and reflect an emotional gravity through the tension of light and shadow. An interior pull between intimacy and distance,  proposing that solace is found not in certainty, but in the grey areas of identity, belonging, and becoming. Images are risograph and thermo-printed on heavyweight grey paper and bound with metal fasteners, allowing users to separate the book into individual prints.

Grey Matter by Lane Stewart is now available to purchase in the Kamp ABC webstore.

KAMP Gallery presents an exhibition of new work by Portland, Oregon based ceramist and artists Martina Thornhill and Jen Valencia. The show reflects on the idea of sanctuary—how it is built, maintained, protected, and fought for through the lens of traditional women's craft. 

Pulling inspiration from folk art, Martina and Jen use ceramics, quilting, paper mache, and Afghan war rugs to draw attention to the often unacknowledged and historically gendered care work that underpins both sanctuary and resistance. Musician Drew Steadham accompanied the opening with a soundscape exploring sounds of those striving to find sanctuary themselves.

Long Live Cult! This month, we’re saying goodbye to a project that’s been incredibly rewarding to produce. Founded in 2018, Cult Classic Magazine has operated as a playground for collaboration, telling the stories of artists and underground creative scenes worldwide. Over the six-issue run, digital archive, and numerous on-the-ground events and parties, the magazine cultivated a cult following inspired by the project's ethos. 

"Our approach to each issue is to identify and amplify creators that we find personally inspiring. More often than not, we choose people who we think should be heard louder than they are.” -Creative Director Justin Morris, It’s Nice That, 2019. 

After the release of the final issue, Cult Classic announced a six-month, multi-city farewell tour to connect face-to-face with fans, retailers, and longtime supporters. Many thanks to all the friends/ collaborators who hosted events in their cities:

This past May, Printed Matter LA Art Book Fair returned to Los Angeles, this time at ArtCenter South Campus in Pasadena, California. Cult Classic Magazine once again tabled the event alongside other subcultural publishing projects to share the sixth and final installment of the publication. The weekend was capped by a collaborative party by Cult and Printed Matter at LA’s Homage Brewing. Attendees danced the night away to sets by Kelman Duran, 8ulentina, Lara Sarkissian, and Stoni O’Dragao, backdropped by a video installation by longtime Cult friend Alima Lee.

In recapping the weekend, Fast Company featured Cult Classic Magazine as one of the “8 indie publishing gems worth your time and money,” praising the mag for “documenting the pulse of creative communities with depth, and eclectic vision.”

Since 2005, Kamp Grizzly has been building a playground for the people, brands, and culture at large. Having just past our 20th anniversary in 2025, we look back over two decades of work we've brought to life with passion and love. And 20 years from now? In the future, everything is possible.

It's the start of a new year and you know what that means — time to get our mind right and dive back into the work. That's why we've pulled this video out of the archives as a reminder of why we do what we do, under the guidance of the KAMP ethos:


Plus, who doesn't like seeing printers get smacked with a bat?

At the end of 2020, KAMP took a break from our regularly scheduled (and remote) holiday gathering to share a few laughs with “A Holiday Special." This multi-segment variety show hosted on Twitch featured infomercials, musical performances, and appearances from the likes of Giraffage, Gia Seo, Raina Morris, Theo Martins, Yellowtechnica, FISK, and The Seasonal Cinephile himself, Ross Morrell.

Morrell, curator at One Grand Film Society, shared a list of his favorite non-holiday-yet-holiday-adjacent films for your holiday/non-holiday enjoyment. You'll find none of that candy cane bullshit here.

KAMP Gallery presents Shrine, the debut solo exhibition by Will Matsuda. 

Since 2018, Matsuda has used photography and writing to examine the climate crisis, focusing on the surroundings near his home in Portland, Oregon. With the photographs of Shrine, exhibited here together for the first time, Matsuda draws from aesthetics of Japanese woodblock printmaking when interpreting these landscapes — the sky burns crimson, a tiny frog clutches a lily, a giant wave explodes into the night. He searches for the sublime while questioning the aestheticization of our existential crisis, ultimately meditating on the power of non-human animals, life, elements, processes, and cycles.

Custom laser-engraved frames and shelving were also produced for the show, connecting a loose mythology/ spirituality to the photographs. Big thanks to Portland-based musician Sqip, who provided a DJ set to soundtrack the opening night of the show.

KAMP hosted GLAMOUR & HEADSHOTS, a touring pop-up portrait studio by Robbie Augspurger this October at the office in Brooklyn, NY.

Robbie's unique style of blending studio portraiture of decades past with elements of humor, fantasy, and the uncanny has made getting into his studio a much sought after experience. From his home base of Portland, OR, he has collaborated with the likes of Balenciaga, Coach, CR Mens Book, and even legendary indie rocker Stephen Malkmus. Robbie's KAMP pop-up marks his first time bringing his nostalgic portraiture to the people of New York. 

Kamp Grizzly is an independent agency creating meaningful connections between the world’s best brands & the cultures they participate in.
