FROM THE DIRECTOR Throughout the Portland Art Museum, it is evident we are evolving. As we celebrate our institution’s 125-year history and look to its future, we are committed to ensuring that we are welcoming and inclusive in our exhibitions, programs, and campus. This season offers important programs to fulfill this commitment by examining how art connects us with each other, our communities, and the world.

Common Ground, a 25-year retrospective of the photographer Fazal Sheikh, depicts the faces and stories of refugees and other people who have been displaced and marginalized—by war, by ethnic and religious strife, by climate crises or social banishment. To amplify the images, the Museum and Northwest Film Center have partnered with important local organizations Portland Meet Portland and Oregon Humanities to discuss the vital, difficult questions surrounding international migration and our responses locally and personally. Curated in Portland by Julia Dolan, Ph.D., The Minor White Curator of Photography, Common Ground will truly be a revealing experience for all.

On the fourth floor of the Jubitz Center for Modern and Contemporary Art, another important project is taking place. We invited visiting artistic director Libby Werbel to collaborate with our curators and education staff on a year-long, artist-led exhibition series, We.Construct.Marvels.Between.

Monuments. Developed in partnership with artists and art collectives, the programming asks how the Museum can intensify our artist-centered and inclusive practices to become critically engaged with a broader array of emerging and established artists in the region. I am grateful to Libby Werbel and the participating artists for bringing their important perspectives to this work, with the energetic support of Sara Krajewski, The Robert and Mercedes Eichholz Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art; Grace Kook-Anderson, The Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Curator of Northwest Art; and Stephanie Parrish, Associate Director of Education and Public Programs.

The collaborative experiment in the Jubitz Center reflects an evolution to expanded inclusivity throughout the Museum. Our Object Stories gallery features Invisible Me, a partnership with the Invisible Disabilities Project and local documentary filmmaker Cheryl Green to bring in the perspective of people living with unseen physical, mental, and emotional conditions. And as our Rothko Pavilion project moves forward, we are working with accessibility experts and forming a disability advisory committee to improve accessibility in all areas of the Museum.

As director of the Portland Art Museum, I place special emphasis on the goal of bringing the world to Portland and Portland to the world. That dynamic flow requires a will to welcome and an openness to evolve, both of which I see every day in our staff, our artist communities, and our dedicated member community. Thank you for joining this museum in progress.

COMMON GROUND Photographs by Fazal Sheikh, 1989–2013 FEBRUARY 24 – MAY 20, 2018

Human rights and dignity form the core of Fazal Sheikh’s photographs. For more than 25 years, he has worked with individuals rendered invisible by war, ethnic and religious strife, climate crises, and social banishment, inviting them to share their stories of unimaginable hardship and perseverance. Featuring works from eight of his series, Common Ground demonstrates Sheikh’s sustained attention to the displaced around the world, and his drive to amplify the voices of the marginalized through his documentary-based photographic practice.

Born in New York City in 1965 to an American mother and Kenyan father, Sheikh spent many childhood summers with extended family in Nairobi. After studying photography at Princeton University, he returned to Kenya on a Fulbright scholarship, living for extended periods near refugee camps harboring people displaced from Somalia, Ethiopia, Mozambique, and Rwanda. Unlike most photojournalists, who spent less than a day in the camps before photographing their subjects, Sheikh built relationships with the residents over months and, often, years. People posed for his camera

as they wished to be portrayed, and the resulting photographs are collaborative works between the artist and sitters. First-person testimonies that accompany the photographs amplify the voices of individuals who advocate for themselves, their families, their communities, and the future.

Many of Sheikh’s series are based in the homelands of his paternal ancestors. From 1996 to 1998, he photographed near his grandfather’s birthplace in present-day Pakistan.

Once northern India, the borderland region harbored hundreds of thousands of Afghanis displaced by the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979. For his series The Victor Weeps, Sheikh photographed camp residents and preserved their stories by recording their oral histories.

Later, he worked extensively in northern India, documenting the ways that caste systems and gender biases adversely affect women.

Moksha features images and stories of the women who live in the holy city of Vrindavan, a sacred site for widows driven from their homes after the deaths of their husbands, while Ladli introduces viewers to girls and young women who experience nearly insurmountable hardship based solely on gender. As with all of his series, Sheikh collaborates carefully with the South Asian men and women he photographs, and their powerful stories become part of his sustained effort to call attention to humanrights abuses.

Two series included in Common Ground merge documentary and conceptual photographic practice: Ether, the artist’s first series of color photographs, honors the states of sleep and death as seen in the sacred city of Banares, on the banks of the Ganges River, where many Hindus go to die in the hopes of achieving salvation. Ramadan Moon, featuring a soundtrack of sung prayers, is an immersive work that follows Somali refugee Seynab Azir

Sheikh’s photographic series have earned him many awards and fellowships, including a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship, a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship, the Henri Cartier-Bresson International Grand Prize, and the Luce Humanitarian Award. To extend the spirit of his work to the Portland metro area, the Museum is working with leaders in the community on special programming that will engage local resettled populations and examine the wide-ranging experiences of displaced individuals from around the globe.

ANIMATING LIFE The Art, Science, and Wonder of LAIKA THROUGH MAY 20, 2018

Animating Life: The Art, Science, and Wonder of LAIKA has been a must-see since its opening in October. More than 120,000 visitors so far have experienced the groundbreaking view behind the curtain into the visionary artistry and technology of the globally renowned and locally founded animation studio, making it one of the most-visited exhibitions in the Museum’s history.

Visitors from near and far have immersed themselves in the LAIKA creative process, taking to social media to document their experience and share their excitement—one couple even took their shared love of LAIKA’s first film, Coraline, to the next level with a surprise proposal in front of Coraline’s garden.

Stop-motion enthusiasts, LAIKA fans, and casual observers, many of whom are not regular Museum visitors, have given glowing reviews of

6 PORTLAND ART MUSEUM

not only Animating Life, but the rest of the Museum.

Established in Portland in 2005, LAIKA has produced four Oscar®-nominated features, including Kubo and the Two Strings (2016), The Boxtrolls (2014), ParaNorman (2012), and Coraline (2009). The striking Wall of Faces in the entrance court showcases LAIKA’s groundbreaking rapid prototyping system, which uses 3D printers to revolutionize film production and earned the studio a 2016 Scientific and Technology Oscar®. Through technological and creative innovations, LAIKA is devoted to telling new and original stories in unprecedented ways.

This spring, the Museum reprises the popular, family-friendly LAIKA Sundays series. On the third Sunday of each month through May, visitors have the opportunity to meet

LAIKA artists, take a family tour, try their hand at analog animation, and watch a film.

The Northwest Film Center continues its

series Animated Worlds: Stop Motion Classics, showcasing the studio’s work and surveying the evolution of stop-motion animation since before the turn of the 20th century. Along with film exhibition programming, the Center offers a range of animation classes, workshops, and visiting-artist programs for students, artists, families, and community members of all ages.

“It has been absolutely fantastic to collaborate with the Museum on every level,” said Arianne Sutner, LAIKA’s Head of Production. “Our talented, dedicated group of artists love to share and talk about their work almost as much as they do creating it. We continue to be inspired every time we participate in the museum’s various programs; sharing what we

do with fans of the museum and our LAIKA movies is fulfilling on a very personal level. We don’t want it to end!”

The inspiration has been mutual. LAIKA artists visited the Museum’s Japanese galleries while developing Kubo and the Two Strings, thanking the Museum in the film’s end credits. The Petti Gallery adjacent to the LAIKA exhibition displays 19th-century Japanese prints and samurai armor across the ages, inviting visitors to look more deeply into the artistry behind the armor.

In a city renowned for its maker scene, Animating Life: The Art, Science, and Wonder of LAIKA and its related film and educational programming are a celebration of the

intersection of art, craft, film, and technology.

Proudly embracing the studio’s unconventional, independent Portland spirit, the exhibition and programs celebrate LAIKA’s singular position in Portland and in the global film community.

Organized by the Portland Art Museum and the Northwest Film Center in collaboration with LAIKA. PRESENTING SPONSOR: Phil and Penny Knight. LEAD SPONSOR: Exhibition Series Sponsors.

WE.CONSTRUCT.MARVELS.BETWEEN.MONUMENTS. THROUGH DECEMBER 2018 WE. ON VIEW THROUGH FEBRUARY 18 CONSTRUCT. ON VIEW MARCH 2 – MAY 6

We.Construct.Marvels.Between.Monuments is a yearlong, artist-led experiment transforming the fourth floor of the Jubitz Center for Modern and Contemporary Art. Five exhibitions developed in partnership with artists and art collectives activate the gallery with visual art, performance, screenings, and discussions.

Organized by visiting artistic director Libby Werbel, the programming invites a range of emerging and established voices to ask questions about how the Museum can become more artist-centered and inclusive in its practices, and how it might become more critically engaged in the creative community.

The programming intends to build a bridge between Portland’s independent artist-run spaces, activists, and the city’s established art institution. Through this yearlong program, Werbel encourages audiences to reflect on how museums historically have granted access to art and knowledge, and what the future of this institution could look like. She imagines the string of exhibitions as a sort of “museum alchemy”: Each artist or collective is tasked 8 PORTLAND ART MUSEUM

with contributing their own ingredients to the pot, acting as a catalyst for engaging new perspectives.

The first exhibition, We., highlights the work of Ricky Bearghost, Kurt Fisk, Perry Johnson, Elmeator Morton, Lawrence Oliver, and Dawn Westover, artists who work with Public Annex, OUTPOST 1000, Oregon Supported Living Program, and Albertina Kerr, programs supporting artists with disabilities. This exhibition creates space for dialogue around how art-world institutions can more thoughtfully integrate the work and perspectives of artists of all abilities. Co-organized by Public Annex with curatorial assistance from Sonya Hamilton, WE. opened the process directly to the artists, providing opportunities for agency, selfdetermination, and reflection.

From March 2 to May 6, construct. presents new work by keyon gaskin and sidony o’neal, whose project intends to challenge the museum’s core identity. Construct. places the Museum’s permanent collection in conversation with new and existing works, performances,

alternative use of space, and moments for dialogue. Their exhibition employs institutional critique to explore the value of detritus and lack, and the place of generativity in a decaying world. O’neal and gaskin recognize the generative potential of conflict that arises when we engage historically oppressive, exclusionary, and revisionist institutional environments.

They write: “Construction of new institutional practices is preceded by de-construction.

De-construction invites other modes of entry— getting inside, engaging old systems, and allowing other values to emerge through critical interrogations.”

We.Construct.Marvels.Between.Monuments. is organized by visiting artistic director Libby Werbel in collaboration with the Museum’s curatorial and education departments. Funding is provided in part by the Miller Meigs Endowment for Contemporary Art, the Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Endowments for Northwest Art, and the Artist & Participatory Programs Fund of the Education Department.

OBJECT STORIES: Invisible Me FEBRUARY 10 – JUNE 17, 2018

APEX: HANNAH PIPER BURNS Venus Retrograde FEBRUARY 24 – AUGUST 12, 2018

This spring, the Object Stories gallery features Invisible Me. From autism to depression, Invisible Me focuses on persons living with unseen physical, mental, and emotional conditions in order to challenge traditional perceptions of disability and its impact in our lives. Object Stories has partnered with the Invisible Disabilities Project and local documentary filmmaker Cheryl Green to further the conversation of hidden disabilities in our abelist culture.

Join us in celebration of this exhibition at a free Community Opening on April 5, 2018, from 6:30 to 8 p.m.

In this APEX program titled Venus Retrograde, Hannah Piper Burns (b. 1984) takes reality shows as the medium of her work. In particular, she uses episodes of The Bachelor and its spinoffs The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise. Through Burns’ use of editing, splicing, glitches, and repetition, she rips apart the seams of a stifling narrative to pull out pieces of the morass lying just beneath the highly stylized gloss.

Through Burns’ films and installations, we begin to see the uncomfortable forces and paradoxes that define much of our own contemporary moment. What becomes clearer is a patchwork of the banal and profound absurdities—of love and failure, of surveillance and spectacle—pulling the viewer into dream logic that is cinematic and intimate. What is experienced puts the viewer in a metaphysical pickle.

As a multimedia artist, Burns creates projects spanning video, performance, installation, text, and interactivity. Her work has been shown widely across the United States and Canada, including the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis; the Indie Bits Festival in Columbia, South Carolina; the Winnipeg Underground Film Festival; and as part of Physical Education’s Say When.

APEX is an ongoing series of exhibitions of Northwest-based artists, curated by Grace Kook-Anderson, The Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Curator of Northwest Art. The APEX series is supported in part by The Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Endowments for Northwest Art and the Exhibition Series Sponsors.

Object Stories is a personal storytelling project and exhibition series hosted by the Portland Art Museum. Upon launch in 2010, Object Stories became a first of its kind in the museum field and continues to innovate today. The project has grown the application of storytelling with objects from a way to interrupt the traditional authoritative museum voice and create a platform where Portland and the Pacific Northwest’s many communities can directly address issues affecting their lives. Object Stories helps drive the Portland Art Museum to become a safe and responsive space open for dialogue, conversation, and the exchange of ideas.

COMING THIS SUMMER

RICHARD DIEBENKORN Beginnings, 1942–1955 JUNE 16 – SEPTEMBER 23, 2018

THE SHAPE OF SPEED Streamlined Automobiles and Motorcycles, 1930–1942 JUNE 16 – SEPTEMBER 16, 2018

The Museum is revved up to announce The Shape of Speed: Streamlined Automobiles and Motorcycles, 1930–1942, a special exhibition debuting at the Museum in June. Beginning in the early 1930s and extending until the outbreak of World War II, automotive designers embraced the challenge of styling and building truly streamlined cars that were fast and fuelefficient. The Shape of Speed features 16 rare streamlined automobiles and two motorcycles from Europe and the United States that demonstrate how auto designers translated the concept of aerodynamic efficiency into exciting machines that in many cases, looked as though they were moving while at rest.

Featured automotive carmakers include Mercedes-Benz, which has restored one of the carmaker’s Stromlinienwagens (streamlined cars) from 1938, along with Porsche, Bugatti, BMW, Bentley, Voisin, Talbot-Lago, Adler, Cord, and Chrysler. In addition, The Shape of Speed includes two motorcycles: a radically streamlined Henderson KJ and a BMW concept R7 motorcycle that was developed in the mid-1930s, lost for decades in a missing crate, recovered in 2005, and completely

10 PORTLAND ART MUSEUM

restored. Engineering drawings and period photographs will show some of the aircraft, railroad, ship, and yacht designs that influenced the automakers.

The latest exhibition in the Museum’s design series, The Shape of Speed is guest curated

by Ken Gross, former director of the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles.

Gross curated the Museum’s popular 2011 exhibition The Allure of the Automobile, which enthralled visitors with its lavish presentation of automobiles as kinetic art—a form of rolling sculpture. With this new exhibition, the Museum opens the door to another fascinating exploration of automotive design.

Organized by the Portland Art Museum. Guest curated by Ken Gross.

SPONSORS: Sports Car Market 30th Anniversary Tour–Richard Duffy, Tim Gallagher, Bob Baily/Archie Urciuoli, Dan and James McCallum, Philip and Sarah Richter; Mr. Ken Austin; Bonhams; Mr. Keith Martin.

Featuring approximately 100 paintings and drawings from the collection of the Richard Diebenkorn Foundation—most of which have never before been publicly exhibited—Richard Diebenkorn: Beginnings, 1942–1955 is the first exhibition to focus solely on the work the acclaimed painter made prior to his switch to figuration. Beginnings examines Diebenkorn’s stylistic and technical origins in oil, watercolor, gouache, ink, crayon, and collage, tracing the Portland-born artist’s evolution from representational landscape, to semiabstract and Surrealist-inspired work, to his mature Abstract Expressionist paintings in California from the Sausalito, Albuquerque, Urbana, and early Berkeley years.

A landmark contribution to the study and understanding of Diebenkorn’s work, Beginnings and its companion catalog reveal the forces that shaped the young artist, including works that range from World War II drawings and watercolors of soldiers and military bases, to abstractions that unite the forms of Surrealism and the fractured planes of Cubism, to gestural works on paper. The exhibition concludes with one of the artist’s first mature figurative paintings, his 1954 Untitled (Horse and Rider), laying the foundation for the representational drawings and paintings starting in the mid-1950s for which Diebenkorn earned wide renown.

Organized by the Richard Diebenkorn Foundation, Berkeley, in collaboration with the Crocker Art Museum, Sacramento. Curated in Portland by Sara Krajewski, The Robert and Mercedes Eichholz Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art. SPONSORS: Nani S. Warren / The Swigert Warren Foundation

NEWS & NOTEWORTHY

YEAR IN REVIEW 2016-2017 Annual Report The 2017 fiscal year was a resounding success. From financial stability to world-class exhibitions and engaging public programs, the Museum and Northwest Film Center continue to deepen their connection with visitors and the community. Exhibitions that showcased Native fashion, presented the breadth of Pop Art icon Andy Warhol’s prints, featured Rodin’s brilliant human forms, and introduced under-recognized African-American artists attracted a wide range of visitors from both near and far.

Community partnerships added vital context to our exhibitions, installations, and programs.

These partnerships included: Working with the Independent Publishing Resource Center and local printmakers and illustrators during the Andy Warhol exhibition.

Collaborating with the Portland 3D Printing Lab during Rodin to bring new technology and new ways of seeing to Rodin’s process.

Working with an extraordinary range of artists, students, and community groups to bring Constructing Identity to life.

Connecting the experimentation and innovative thinking of architect John Yeon to local organizations working to address houselessness in the city—including the Village Coalition and Portland State University’s Center for Public Interest Design.

The Museum continues to work closely with school districts and educators in the region.

These relationships include hosting the HeART

of Portland event, a Portland Public Schools arts showcase, for the third year in a row, providing workshops and professional development to more than 400 educators, and bringing images of objects in the Museum’s collection to more than 1,000 classrooms across Oregon and Washington through the expanding Teacher Poster Project. Additionally, 200 Portland Public Schools seventh graders took part in the pilot “Maker Experience” program at the Northwest Film Center (see page 20).

The Museum’s curatorial team continues to grow and evolve to advance the Museum’s mission. Several new appointments were made this year, including Grace Kook-Anderson as the Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Curator of Northwest Art, Sangah Kim as the Cowles Curatorial Fellow in Asian Art, and Jeannie Kenmotsu as the Japan Foundation Assistant Curator of Japanese Art. A number of important works were added to the collection, including a stunning Spanish painting by Felipe Diriksen; a conceptual sculpture by Jeppe Hein; a commanding work by Portland-based artist Arvie Smith; an iconic, 15th-century woodcut by Renaissance master Albrecht Dürer; two contemporary photographs by

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS 2017 marks the sixth year in a row that the Museum has ended the year with a balanced budget. Additional highlights include a 9 percent increase in visitors, and another record-breaking year for earned income from admissions, store sales, and rental income.

Michael Cherney, inspired by traditional Chinese painting; a Chilkat robe by Tlingit artist and weaver Lily Hope; and a monumental contemporary photograph by Oregonian Corey Arnold. Another major highlight was the repatriation of 18th-century work Five Buddhas to its home in the Songgwangsa Monastery in Korea. The Museum and Five Buddhas’ longtime owners, Robert and Sandra Mattielli, were welcomed in Korea earlier this year on a trip to see the painting returned to the monastery. The Library and Collections Information Department continues to make more art and artifacts available to researchers and the public. Online Collections usage continues to increase each year, and 45 percent of the permanent collection is currently online.

Funding to support the Museum comes from a variety of revenue sources. Last year, 15 percent came from admissions and memberships, 14 percent from contributions and grants, and 13 percent from Museum Store sales and facility rental fees. New this year is the capital campaign in support of the expansion and renovation project, which accounted for 40 percent. The majority of expenses were used in support of Museum and Film Center programs and to acquire and preserve art.

The Museum’s audited financial reports are available online at portlandartmuseum.org/ annual-report-2017.

PORTLAND FINE PRINT FAIR AT FIVE In the last week of January, the Museum hosted a celebration of the graphic arts that has become a regional pillar of art collection and appreciation. Now in its fifth year, the Portland Fine Print Fair brought together 18 premier dealers from across the United States, Asia, and Europe for a weekend of buying, browsing, and education.

“Print Fair was inaugurated in 2014 with the goal of providing our community with the opportunity to purchase and study thousands of museum-quality prints, and to nurture the collecting impulse that has contributed so much to our city” says Mary Weaver Chapin, Ph.D., Curator of Prints and Drawings. Since then, it has been a favorite annual event for collectors, connoisseurs, printmakers, students, and those eager to learn more about the graphic arts.

This rich history of collecting continues today and is supported by the Portland Fine Print Fair.

The Portland Art Museum not only hosts the event, but also actively purchases work for the Museum’s collection. Since 2014, more than 50 works displayed at the Fair have entered the collection, either as direct purchases or as gifts from generous community members.

“The extraordinary richness of choices and the opportunity to examine the work in person allows me to make purchases of extremely high quality at the Fair,” says Maribeth Graybill, Ph.D., the Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Curator of Asian Art. Dr. Graybill points to acquisitions of leading masters of 18th- and 19th-century art including ukiyo-e woodblocks by Kitagawa Utamaro and Utagawa Kuniyoshi, as well as striking work by contemporary female artists such as Yoshida Chizuko. For Dr. Chapin, acquisition highlights include a dramatic 1498 woodcut depicting the Apocalypse by Albrecht Dürer as well as 19th-century lithographs by French masters Odilon Redon and EugèneSamuel Grasset. The Trickster, an album of 16 lithographs purchased with funds provided by the Native American Art Council, added important work by Botswanan and Pueblo artists to the collection.

The Museum Art Councils’ involvement in the Print Fair has been key to its success.

Council members can be found browsing the aisles, staffing the volunteer booth, and making purchases for their own collections or as gifts for the Museum. “I am delighted by the generosity of our councils and donors,” adds Dr. Chapin, “as well as the dealers—several of whom have made gifts to the collection in

14 PORTLAND ART MUSEUM

recognition of the importance of graphic arts to Portlanders.” One such gift, Tiger Attack, by Louis-Candide Boulanger, is now on view in the exhibition Kingdom Animalia: Animals in Print from Dürer to Picasso.

The Portland Fine Print Fair and the graphic arts collection is well positioned as we celebrate the 125th anniversary of the Museum and reflect forward. Last year, the Museum welcomed Jeannie Kenmotsu, Ph.D., the Japan Foundation Assistant Curator of Japanese Art, who brings great expertise of Japanese ukiyo-e prints and books. Dr. Kenmotsu, together with Dr. Graybill, will oversee the prestigious Institute of Museum and Library Services grant to complete the Japanese Print Initiative (see next page). Like the Fine Print Fair itself, this grant furthers the Museum’s strong mission to make art accessible, in person and online, to scholars, researchers, and art lovers everywhere.

Portland Fina Print Fair 2018 was sponsored in part by the Graphic Arts Council of the Portland Art Museum; Framing Resource; Dan Bergsvik and Don Hastler; Dr. Douglas and Selby Key; Karen Varnhagen, Financial Advisor, Morgan Stanley; AKA: Aidan Krainock Appraisals.

NEW GRANT TO BROADEN ACCESS TO THE JAPANESE PRINT COLLECTION The Museum’s Japanese print collection has long been a source of pride. In 1932, the Museum acquired the Mary Andrews Ladd collection of 750 Japanese prints—an impressive collection and one of the earliest of its kind in the country. During this anniversary year, as the Museum reflects on the past and considers the future, it is gratifying to report that the Asian art collection, and in particular the Japanese print collection, is thriving thanks to a long history of support and a new Museums for America grant of nearly $100,000 from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).

The two-year grant supports the Japanese Print Initiative, which will create online access to the Museum’s collection of almost 3,000 traditional and modern Japanese prints, books, and portfolios. Comprising rare traditional prints

and one of the most comprehensive collections of modern Japanese prints in North America— including perhaps the largest concentration of prints by women printmakers—the Museum’s collection remains largely hidden, since the bulk of it is unavailable online.

Support for the Japanese Print Initiative includes upgrades to the Museum’s photography studio, which will enable the Museum to achieve international imaging standards for works of art. The Museum will now be able to create and share images of Japanese prints that expose new levels of detail—inscriptions, markings, seals, metallic pigments—that are of vital importance to the study and understanding of the works.

to make the Museum’s collections more accessible. Recently, the Museum completed similar projects to create online access to approximately 13,000 works from its world-class collections of Northwest and Native American art. The Museum is grateful to IMLS for its continued support of major mission-driven initiatives, including digitization of the Native American Art Collection, improved storage for Asian artworks, and funding for Object Stories and the Center for Contemporary Native Art.

The Japanese Print Initiative is the latest in a series of ongoing physical and digital initiatives

ROTHKO PAVILION MOVES FORWARD City Council and donors show support for building connection improving access.

In December 2017, the Portland City Council approved an ordinance change that will allow the Museum to take the next steps in the proposed Rothko Pavilion project. The vote marks an important milestone in the public process toward making the Museum more accessible to all, including people with disabilities and visitors of all ages.

The Rothko Pavilion will serve as a new enclosed, ground-level, accessible central entrance and free public space between the two campus buildings. Passage to and from 10th Avenue to Park Avenue will remain free and accessible through the Pavilion.

The project also adds a new west-facing entry plaza, facilitates the redesign of existing galleries and corridors, and adds new barrierfree connections on multiple levels within the Pavilion.

At the December City Council meeting, more than 30 Museum members, docents, volunteers,

trustees, and employees told their stories about the impact this project would have for the Museum and the community. “It was helpful to hear the range of testimony on the project and to receive affirmation from the Mayor and Commissioners,” said Museum Director Brian Ferriso.

Following the initial presentation of the project to City Council in April 2017, the Museum heard excellent feedback that was ultimately incorporated into the new amended ordinance that governs Madison Street, such as the importance that the Pavilion remain free and accessible for everyone, including people with pets and bikes, and that it remain open and safe during all Portland Streetcar hours.

While the focus of the past six months has been on listening to the community regarding the Madison Street ordinance, a number of donors made major contributions to both the capital and endowment portions of the

campaign. Support includes $1 million gifts from the Robert and Mercedes Eichholz Foundation and the State of Oregon Lottery Bond Funds; $500,000 contributions from The Harvey Mudd Foundation and The Smidt Foundation; and $250,000 from The Oregon Community Foundation. These gifts bring the total raised to $30.3 million toward a $50 million capital goal. Additionally, $2 million in gifts and pledges have been made toward the $25 million Endowment Campaign goal, with almost $9 million committed.

“It is gratifying to know that these important funders believe in our ability to create a better, more accessible Museum for our community today, and in the future,” said Director Ferriso.

As a new year begins, the Museum is looking forward to continuing to listen to and work with advocates from the disability community, along with an internal team and a range of stakeholders and community partners to ensure that Rothko Pavilion and related renovations benefit the entire community.

KOREAN LOTUS LANTERNS A shining example of a burgeoning relationship When the Museum invited a team of Korean scholars to inspect a painting of Five Buddhas in 2014, there was no way of knowing where the results would lead. Four years and two continents later, an extraordinary relationship has blossomed between the Museum and a Korean Buddhist Order.

On November 18, 2017, the Museum hosted a Korean lantern workshop in partnership with the Yeon Deung Hoe (Lotus Lantern Festival) Preservation Committee, the Museum’s Asian Art Council, and the Office of the Consul General of the Republic of Korea in Seattle.

The Lotus Lantern Festival is an annual three-day Korean celebration, with thousands participating in lantern making, lantern exhibitions, lantern parades, and various performances.

The lantern workshop in Portland was the first fruit from the new relationship with the Jogye Buddhist Order, forged through the recent repatriation to Korea of an important Buddhist icon: a painting of Five Buddhas. The painting’s owners, Robert and Sandra Mattielli of Portland, graciously agreed to return it to its original home in the Songgwangsa monastery.

The monastery, in turn, invited a group from Portland to visit, including the Mattiellis, Museum Director Brian Ferriso, Curator of Asian Art Maribeth Graybill, curatorial fellow Sangah Kim, and members of the Asian Art Council. When the group visited the Jogye Order headquarters in Seoul they were amazed by the beautiful lanterns on display in the lobby of the building. Hearing the praise, the Yeon Deung Hoe Preservation Committee suggested not only having a lantern-making workshop in Portland as a tangible step toward a partnership, but also donating lantern artist Jang Jin-ik’s beautiful lantern to the Museum. The offer was happily accepted, and the lantern was on view from mid-November through January 7.

in Korean culture; youth in the Caldera arts program; and Korean-Americans.

The Museum looks forward to sustaining and growing the partnership with the Jogye Order as it continues to bring the world to Oregon and Oregon to the world.

For the workshop, a delegation of seven people, including four artists, traveled from Korea to teach lantern making. Lanternmakers included students from Baker Prairie Middle School in Canby, which has an exchange program with a Korean school; seniors who are interested

IN MEMORIAM Prudence (Prue) Miller 1934 – 2017

Maribeth Collins 1918 – 2017

The Museum and the city mourned the loss of Maribeth Collins late last year. Maribeth was one of the most significant philanthropic leaders in this state’s history, helping sustain thousands of educational and cultural institutions throughout her remarkable life. She was born in Gresham, studied literature at the University of Oregon, raised four children, chaired the board of a timber company that became a national leader in sustainable forestry, and served as president of the Collins Foundation, which was founded by her husband, Truman Collins, in 1947. Maribeth’s commitment to this state and to Oregonians was steadfast. She considered it a privilege and a responsibility to help others and instilled those values to those around her.

Through her leadership, the Foundation made significant grants in the areas of art, youth, community, education, the environment, health and science, humanities, and religion.

Her long-standing support of the Museum reflected her love of exhibitions and was recently demonstrated by a major bequest toward the endowment, supplementing a number of previous gifts. Maribeth Collins will be missed and long remembered for her generous spirit.

Prudence (Prue) Miller, who passed away last summer, had a special place in the Museum community. She demonstrated her love of art through active participation in programs and events, as well as travel to other cities with fellow Museum supporters to help bring exhibitions to Portland. She served on the Portland Art Association board, organized exhibition openings, and continued her generous support of the Museum over the ensuing decades.

The most public symbol of Prue’s generosity is Roy Lichtenstein’s iconic Brushstrokes (1996) sculpture, which graces the corner of the Mark Building.

The landmark piece is currently undergoing conservation treatment to restore it to its original beauty. She also supported many important exhibitions and their associated education programs, including most recently Venice: The Golden Age of Art and Music and The Art of the Louvre’s Tuileries Garden. This is truly a loss for the Museum and the community. Prue Miller will be greatly missed.

NORTHWEST FILM CENTER

CHALLENGING THE NEXT GENERATION The 7th Grade Film Challenge pushes middle schoolers to high creativity.

A new collaboration with Portland Public Schools (PPS) middle schools is flourishing at the Northwest Film Center this school year. Through the 7th Grade Film Challenge, nearly 300 seventh-grade students are visiting the Film Center facility for a hands-on, Film Center-generated curriculum in filmmaking.

Their challenge: To make their own original two- to three-minute film from scratch in just three days.

The program is part of a PPS effort called 7th Grade Career Tech Exploration, or 7GCTE. It aims to expand college- and career-readiness opportunities at the midlevel grades by engaging students in arts and technology activities that are not routinely offered during the school day. Focusing on early adolescents, the program also ultimately hopes to increase student retention and graduation rates in high school.

The Film Challenge is modeled after the Film Center’s popular Summer Film Camps.

Students are mentored by Film Center faculty through each step of the filmmaking process, from scriptwriting to editing. In addition to helping the youth develop literacy in one of the most pervasive influences in their lives, the program also encourages critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork.

possibilities for students. Students realize that what they learn in school is going on every day all over the city. Without a doubt, this will be the three days that they will remember of their seventh grade.”

The program is supported by a Community Technology Grant from the Mount Hood Cable Regulatory Commission, the Oregon Arts Commission, and the PGE Foundation, along with the James F. and Marion L. Miller Foundation.

A free public screening of all of the films created through the program will take place in the Whitsell Auditorium in June 2018. Check nwfilm.org for details to come.

Many of the youth participants are coming from high-poverty middle schools where funds are limited for specialty subjects like media arts.

“It is easy to assume that all of today’s young people have technology at their fingertips at home and at school, but this is not the case in low-income households,” said Film Center Education Director Ellen Thomas. “This is an opportunity to help PPS achieve equity in serving all of its students.”

said one student from Ockley Green Middle School, echoing many others. “Don’t dillydally,” advised another. “You will have no time left to accomplish your goals.”

César Chávez School teacher Huck Wilken described the benefits this way: “Far beyond just another field trip, this program changed attitudes about school and expanded the

The Film Challenge learning environment is purposefully kinetic and even a bit chaotic.

Students begin by generating an original story idea and learning to operate equipment. By the third and final day, the deadline looms and the intensity rises. “I can see that the students are fully engaged while creating their film stories,” said Marie Tyvoll, 7GCTE Coordinator, “and that the kind of active learning environment we are trying to instill is working to motivate and inspire.”

The reward comes when the lights go down and the students see their finished work on the screen. After the nervous giggles and applause die down, students are asked to reflect on what they learned. “That making movies is not easy,”

THE PGE FOUNDATION POSTER PROJECT Bridging the Museum and the Classroom With generous support from the PGE Foundation, the Portland Art Museum has created free posters for educators and students in Oregon and Washington. Now in its third year, the popular Poster Project has made 25 posters in all—featuring works across the permanent collection—available to hang in classrooms, libraries, and school hallways.

Posters this year include works by artists from Argentina, Syria, India, Oregon, and beyond.

Teachers receive the posters free of charge at Museum Educator Programs and, by request, through the mail. To date, the Museum has given out over 7,600 posters. Additional teaching resources are available through the Poster Project website (portlandartmuseum. org/posters). New this year, the Museum is thrilled to make available online Spanishlanguage translations, developed with the support and collaboration of AB Cultural Drivers, LLC. Hana Layson, Ph.D., Manager of School and Educator Programs at the Museum, works with more than 500 teachers annually

facilitating educator programs including workshops on teaching with the posters.

The workshops deepen student and teacher knowledge of original works at the Museum, make connections to school tours, and provide strategies for educators who teach a variety of subjects, including writing, science, critical thinking, and more.

“We believe arts and culture are critical to helping all people realize their full potential,” says Kregg Arntson, executive director of the PGE Foundation. “That’s why we work with community partners like the Portland Art Museum to provide young people access to arts learning opportunities in urban and rural areas across Oregon.”

Testimonials from teachers indicate that educators across disciplines and grade levels value the posters as a way to connect their students to the Museum’s collection. Many teachers have shared various ways in which their schools are incorporating posters into classroom instruction. Lindsay King, an art teacher at Beaumont Middle School in Northeast

Portland, wrote, “I appreciate the range of traditions and eras the posters represent…

The posters are up in my room and they are beautiful! Thank you for the support. It is great to have posters that represent contemporary and multicultural artists and forms.”

The Museum is deeply grateful to the PGE Foundation for its support of the Poster Project, which provides critical resources for educators and students bringing art to the classroom across the region.

MEMORIAL GIFTS A Gift to Honor a Special Person In 1937, through a bequest gift to the Portland Art Museum, Ella Hirsch memorialized her parents and expressed what was important to their family—not only the arts, but also community service.

The Solomon and Josephine Hirsch Memorial Wing was constructed with Ella Hirsch’s gift and opened in 1939, doubling the size of the Museum. While Ella Hirsch and her family were dedicated to the community of Portland in many ways, the Hirsch family legacy is alive at the Portland Art Museum because of the estate gift that Ella provided to the Museum through her will.

PURPOSE:

When someone close to us passes away, celebrating the person’s life and reflecting on favorite memories can help us cope. One way to help the person’s legacy live on is to establish a memorial gift in his or her honor.

Your gift may be given to us today to help support our most immediate needs, or you can include a gift in your will or living trust, stating that a specific asset, certain dollar amount, or percentage of your estate will pass to us after your lifetime in honor of your loved one.

Before you make a memorial gift, consider a few key factors:

Memorials honor the lives of friends or loved ones. You can make a gift to our organization without restrictions, or the gift can support a particular event or program.

TIMING:

TYPE:

Cash is a popular and easy way to make a gift, but you can also use securities or other assets.

Like all charitable donations, a memorial gift can offer tax benefits.

AMOUNT:

No matter the size of your gift, you can be certain your support will make a lasting impact.

If the Portland Art Museum’s mission was important to a late loved one, we can discuss ways that you can make a gift that properly honors his or her memory. Please contact Karie Burch at karie.burch@pam.org or 503-276-4240 for more information.

POST-SCREENING DISCUSSION: 3:30 P.M.

During a career of more than 25 years, photographer Fazal Sheikh has focused on raising awareness of international human-rights issues through his critically acclaimed work.

The artist will discuss his documentary-based photography practice and Common Ground, which features more than 170 portraits and landscapes chronicling individuals living in displaced and marginalized communities around the world, many times as the result of war, exploitation, and poverty.

Today, more than 65 million people around the world have been forced from their homes to escape famine, climate change, and war in the greatest human displacement since World War II. Human Flow, an epic film journey led by internationally renowned artist Ai Weiwei, gives visual expression to this massive human migration. Captured over the course of an eventful year in 23 countries, the film follows a chain of human stories that stretches across the globe in countries including Afghanistan, Bangladesh, France, Greece, Germany, Iraq, Israel, Italy, Kenya, Mexico, and Turkey and documents the courage, endurance, and unassailable spirit of the displaced.

In addition to his lecture and demonstration, Jung will offer a class in East Asian calligraphy.

This class is intended for all those interested in East Asian calligraphy and will be limited to 20 participants. Materials will be provided, but you are also welcome to bring your own brushes and inkstones.

Jung Do-jun is one of the most celebrated calligraphers working in Korea today. Trained from childhood in both calligraphy and Chinese classics, he creates stunningly bold works in the Korean hangeul alphabet, as well as a variety of Chinese scripts. He is perhaps best known for his creative distortions of archaic seal script, a highly decorative form of writing that flourished in China between the fifth century BCE and the beginning of the Common Era. He is familiar to Asian art fans in Oregon, thanks to a solo exhibition at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art in 2006. Two of Jung Do-jun’s works are currently on view in the Portland Art Museum’s Korean Gallery.

The Rediscovery of the Portland Art Museum’s Egyptian Scarab Collection JOHN SARR, EGYPTOLOGIST MARCH 7, 6:30 P.M.

Who knew the Portland Art Museum was home to more than 1,350 ancient Egyptian scarabs and amulets? Although the collection entered the Museum in 1929 and was partially on display until the mid-1980s, most of the objects were hidden away in the vault for decades.

Local Egyptologist John Sarr, who began investigating the scarabs in the 1990s, has just completed a year of intensive research on the scarabs. Carved between 4,800 and 2,300 years ago and usually smaller than 1 inch long, scarabs were used during life as seals or amulets and in death as a means of securing an afterlife. They often bear motifs or inscriptions that reveal much of ancient Egyptian religious beliefs.

Sarr is an independent scholar, writer, and teacher who has taught extensively on ancient Egyptian culture and the hieroglyphic language.

He is an active member of the American Research Center in Egypt and founding president of the Center’s Oregon Chapter.

Sponsored by the Asian Art Council. Free and open to the public.

Zhang Hongtu is a Chinese-born painter and installation artist living in America. Michael Cherney (also known as Qiu Mai) is an American-born photographer and calligrapher living in China. Their artworks are not simply Chinese or American but harbingers of an age of hyphenated, hybridized global culture.

This talk examines how these two prominent contemporary artists (both with works in Portland Art Museum’s collection) not only combine aspects of East and West but also reach deep into China’s cultural past for the basis of their own very modern art.

IN DIALOGUE Art & Conversation

Miller Family Free Day

Artist as Citizen

THIRD TUESDAY OF THE MONTH

COMMON GROUND

In Dialogue is an occasional series of interdisciplinary, discussion-based seminars that explore art on view at the Museum in relation to works in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences. In 2018, we continue to investigate the idea of “artist as citizen.” How do artists participate in our social and political world through their artwork? Taking inspiration from Portland State University Professor of Music Darrell Grant and other PSU faculty, we will consider how “artists from a variety of disciplines intersect with institutions, social movements, and power structures; engage with communities; and connect with place.” The winter/spring seminars will focus on the special exhibition Common Ground: Photographs by Fazal Sheikh, 1989 – 2013. For a list of dates and topics, visit the Museum website.

FEBRUARY 20, MARCH 20, APRIL 17, MAY 15

Beginning on February 20, join us the third Tuesday of every month for coffee followed by a lecture or film screening. Coffee at 9:15 a.m. in the Fields Ballroom, Mark Building; lecture at 10:15 a.m. in the Whitsell Auditorium, Main Building, except in February when the entire program will occur in the Fields Ballroom. This series is free for adults 62 and over. Please visit the Museum website to learn more about upcoming topics.

Art & Conversation is made possible through the Marguerite and Harry Kendall Education Fund.

Additional support comes from Rick and Erika Miller.

MARCH 10, 10 A.M. – 5 P.M.

In the spirit of Fazal Sheikh’s photography and his emphasis on human rights and dignity, the Museum presents a day of community and artist-centered programs that aim to foster cross-cultural understanding. Come and experience the power of art and storytelling to remind us of our shared humanity.

Family programs are generously supported in part

by Sharon L. Miller and Family, the Gordon D. Sondland and Katherine J. Durant Foundation, the Lamb Baldwin Foundation, and the Joseph E. Weston Public Foundation.
