Director’s Biennial Report 2019-2021

This publication records the activities of the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at the University of Oregon over the 2020 and 2021 academic years, a period shadowed by the profoundly unsettling impact of the novel coronavirus on human life and societies around the world. At the same time, the murders of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd triggered protests across the United States and a powerful resurgence and expansion of Black Lives Matter activism and institutional change. Along with other museums, universities, corporations, government entities, and virtually every social institution, the JSMA responded to the newly shifting conditions, demands, and questions. The museum’s galleries remained shuttered from March 14, 2020, until October 9, 2020, then closed again November 14, 2020, as infection case counts rose in Oregon. We reopened May 22, 2021, and have been open since then. Our Biennial Report is an attempt to distill and recount the most important aspects of the JSMA story over this span of time, expressed in reports and feature articles, lists of exhibitions and events, and of course, images. This report also announces the start of a new biennial cycle of annual reports; you can expect our next report in 2024, covering the 2022 and 2023 academic years.

Impact & Response to COVID

Exhibitions, collections, and people are the heart of museum work. Even during the pandemic, the JSMA continued to present new exhibitions to the public, add significant works to our collection, and engage our members, partners, and constituents through vigorous online educational programming. Looking back to the fall of 2019, the moment I arrived at the JSMA, it’s clear that the Ralph Steadman show marked a pre-pandemic turning point, unbeknownst to us at the time. The following winter we opened the Roger Shimomura and Carrie Mae Weems shows and unveiled Myriad Treasures in our beautifully renovated Betty and John Soreng Gallery. Then COVID hit. We scrambled brilliantly, soon offering everything we do online, essentially recreating every museum function in the virtual space of the internet. Instantly, our staff “pivoted” to create gorgeous online video tours, substantive PDF gallery guides, videos of lectures and talks, exhibition PowerPoints, and a comprehensive Remote Teaching web portal aggregating all of our online materials for easy use by faculty, students, teachers, and the general public. As a result, despite losing the entire spring term’s in-person student tours to the pandemic, in the 2020 academic year we served a record 10,200 students, representing 322 UO classes from 55 academic departments.

Later in 2020, with grant support provided by Art Bridges and a lot of staff talent, we launched an ongoing series of 360-degree virtual tours. Built from zoomable, high resolution photographs, the tours include links to wall texts, video, and audio related to the art on view, bringing the spatial feeling and experience of the gallery into homes and classrooms to an unprecedented degree. I’ve long been a proponent of 360-degree virtual tours as powerful tools for teaching and learning. They are also a great way to re-experience an exhibition you have already seen, to spend more time with wall texts and associated materials. If you haven’t taken a look at our gallery of virtual tours yet, I strongly encourage you to go for a stroll through our recent exhibitions, using as big a screen as you have! Go to jsma.uoregon.edu/VirtualTours to explore today.

Art in Action

Our last two years of exhibitions demonstrate that the presentation of an exhibition program both artistically scintillating and diverse in terms of race, gender, and culture was a core principle at the JSMA well before the overdue racial reckoning of the past years. In 2020, the Shimomura and Weems shows both offered hard looks at the history and persistence of racism in the U.S.—the internment of Japanese American citizens during World War II and the police killings of Black Americans. Exhibitions such as Nuestra imagen actual | Our Present Image: Mexico and the Graphic Arts 1929-1956, and Nkame: A Retrospective of Cuban Printmaker Belkis Ayón featured the creative accomplishments of artists in Latin American countries with a close relationship to the United States. In the Preble Murphy Galleries, we continued to explore the histories of Japanese art and printmaking with exhibitions such as Rhapsody in Blue and Red: Ukiyo-e Prints of the Utagawa School, featuring stellar works from the collection of Lee and Mary Jean Michels. Artists from Oregon appeared in shows such as Metamorphosis: Visualizing the Work of Paul Hindemith, a collaboration with the Eugene Symphony, in the Hallie Ford Fellows exhibition, and in Artist Project Space, the work of Ashland’s Claire Burbridge and Portland’s Tom Cramer.

Two projects of the 2021 academic year made a particular statement about art’s role in the long struggle for racial justice. In June of 2020, aggrieved by the murders of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd, and motivated by his own long history of collecting work by Black artists, Jordan Schnitzer called to propose and fund a collaboration between his foundation and the JSMAs of the UO, Portland State University, and Washington State University to offer 60 grants of $2500 to artists in the region of each university and museum, in support of Black Lives Matter. Working via Zoom meetings, the staff of each of our museums and Jordan’s staff assembled local grant selection panels, set up an online application portal, got the word out, and evaluated applications. Grants were announced in the fall of 2020, and the UO JSMA opened our exhibition in early July 2021, the first of the three exhibitions to premier. Although it falls outside of the calendar purview of this biennial report, I am happy to report that the exhibition and its reception by our public have been a huge success, a testimony to Jordan’s conviction that Oregon artists would offer powerful support to Black Lives Matter, and that artists needed to be heard from more than ever at this moment.

The second exceptional project of the past two years was Carrie Mae Weems’s RESIST COVID | Take 6! Responding to the pandemic, it was a nationwide art and public information campaign that joined encouragement of good health practices with a pointed message about the virus’s disproportionately high impact on communities of color. RESIST COVID encompassed billboards, lawn signs, window and wall posters, bookmarks, buttons, and shopping bags. With support from the UO President’s Office, the Division of Equity and Inclusion, Lane County Public Health, the Cities of Eugene and Springfield, the Eugene/ Springfield chapter of the NAACP, FastSigns, Homes for Good, the UO Center for Art Research, and many other community partners, the JSMA helped get Weems's message out across the Eugene/Springfield area. Our participation included three large billboards on major traffic routes, extensive downtown poster displays, lawn sign distribution, banners, and two dramatic installations on our front façade. We thank Carrie Mae Weems for her vision, and all of our community partners for their support!

Collections Growth

The growth of our collection is outlined in another part of the Biennial Report, but I can’t resist mentioning a few highlights. These include: a magnificent donation of Meiji era Japanese prints from Irwin Lavenberg; significant sculptures by Rubén Trejo and Berlinde de Bruyckere, the latter a donation by Tony Podesta; a choice example of modern Korean celadon ceramics donated by Kyung Gregor and her husband John; a crowd pleasing video by Korean video artist LEE Lee-Nam; a stunning painting by Raymond Saunders; and Charles White’s moving 1959 linocut, My God is a Rock, donated by Gary Weck and Ann Phillips of Eugene. We also welcomed to the collection a suite of works by the noted Puerto Rican printmaker, Myrna Baez, and two works by Rockwell Kent, donated by David and Marcia Hilton in honor of UO President Mike Schill. In the area of photography, we acquired works by Carrie Mae Weems and Terry Toedtemeier, a portfolio by Bay Area photographer Lewis Watts, and a portfolio of works donated by the Bay Area PhotoAlliance, all of which have significantly strengthened our collection. Together, these works and many more have added both depth and significant diversity to the JSMA’s permanent collection, building the strength and range of our capacity as a teaching museum.

Art Heals

The JSMA’s Art Heals program encompasses a variety of museum-led group activities that employ art activities to promote health, often conducted in partnership with Oregon hospitals and other healthcare organizations. One of the most intriguing, unexpected, and encouraging developments of life under COVID was the dramatic geographical expansion and increased participation in Art Heals programs, such as our Madres Club for Latina moms. After moving the program online, we began seeing participants from around the state, in numbers that were routinely double and triple the size of our pre-COVID on-campus groups. This has raised the fascinating question of whether we should permanently offer this program and some others either solely online, or in some form of hybrid, regardless of health concerns. But, it is clear that for Art Heals, and with some of our public talks and programs, there is a virtual audience that can equal and exceed the audience able and willing to come to our building.

9

Shared Visions

Another bright spot of the pandemic time has been the rebranding and strength of our Shared Visions program of loans from collectors. Formerly called Masterworks on Loan, Shared Visions was rebranded in 2020, with the new name emphasizing jointly the sharing of artists’ visions, and the sharing of their work by our lenders. In the past two years, brilliant works by artists such as Lorna Simpson, Ruth Asawa, Gerhard Richter, Mark Bradford, Yayoi Kusama, Wayne Thiebaud, Andy Warhol, Jenny Saville, Julie Mehretu, Egon Schiele, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Cy Twombly, Theaster Gates, Pablo Picasso, Alex Katz, Louise Bourgeois, and many more have graced our galleries. I walk our galleries regularly with visiting artists, colleagues from other museums, art gallery owners, and contemporary art lovers of all sorts, and they routinely express amazement and excitement at the work they see here. Thanks to this program, our students can experience firsthand many of the most significant artists of our time and of the modern era. And as the pandemic drove home to all of us, seeing art on a computer screen just isn’t the real deal.

New Faculty Engagement Group

As a university-based teaching museum, our work with faculty and students is crucial and central to our mission. To deepen and expand that work, we launched a new Faculty Engagement Working Group (FEWG) in FY21. Chaired by English Professor Paul Peppis, a Leadership Council member and Director of the UO Humanities Center, it includes a stellar group of UO faculty from across the curriculum who meet with JSMA staff to exchange ideas and discuss potential areas of collaboration. Despite the challenges of launching the group during a “remote year,” we can already see the benefits of the FEWG as a fertile source of program ideas and information exchange. We truly appreciate the FEWG faculty for working with us during a time that has stretched their energies and capacities to an unprecedented degree.

Leadership Council and Development News

I also want to say a big thanks to the members of our JSMA Leadership Council (LC) for the work we accomplished over the past two years, and offer a special thanks to LC Presidents Randy Stender and Ellen Tykeson, and Vice President Sarah Finlay for their hours of work, steadfast support, insight, and all-around good vibes. With their help, over the past two years we streamlined our committee lineup, retiring four committees and adding two new ones devoted to Education and Communications & Engagement. I’m delighted with the new structure, the members we’ve added, and the new ideas and connections both committees are bringing to the museum. I’m gratified to report as well that the LC is significantly more diverse than it has been in previous years, and we have seen the benefits of that immediately in connecting us more strongly to valued partners on and off campus. Finally, to ensure that we stay in touch with Leadership Council members even after they leave the council, we established a new Leadership Council Emeriti group, putting us back in contact with much-appreciated LC veterans both locally and nationally. I look forward to carrying that work forward in the coming years.

Fundraising and membership activities rely heavily on personal connections, contacts, events, and in-person activities. That has been challenging during the pandemic period, to put it mildly. Particularly as a new director here, I have missed that firsthand contact. Nevertheless, we have taken advantage of the widespread adoption of Zoom chats, online gatherings, and masked meetings at the museum to stay in touch with supporters. As a result, the JSMA achieved strong fundraising success over the past two years and finished Fiscal Year 2020-2021 with a small budget surplus.

Contributing to our solid bottom line, we received welcome grant support from a number of regional and national foundations over the past two years, including Art Bridges, the Coeta and Donald Barker Foundation, The Ford Family Foundation, the W.L.S. Spencer Foundation, the Oregon Arts Commission, and COVID-responsive funding from the Oregon Cultural Trust and the state of Oregon. We thank our foundation partners and look forward to working together in the coming years.

Gratitude

In closing a few heartfelt words of appreciation:

My thanks to Jill Hartz, who retired as the JSMA’s Executive Director at the start of the 2019-2020 academic year. She made huge contributions to the museum and moved it forward dramatically during her tenure. Thank you, Jill, from all of us!

To the JSMA Staff and the dozens of students who work with us: thank you from the bottom of my heart for your hard work over the past two incredibly challenging and stressful years. Your dedication and resilience impress me daily, and keep this museum going.

To the faculty and UO staff who work with us: thank you for making the museum and the art we hold and show a part of student learning at the University of Oregon. Without you, only a fraction of our students would find their way to the museum.

To our Leadership Council, members, and supporters: thank you for your support, and for sticking with us even when you could not visit. Now that our doors are open to you again, I encourage you to visit often with friends and family. I hope that your time away has made the experience of seeing art in person again all the more meaningful in your life.

COETA AND DONALD BARKER GALLERY

EXHIBITION HIGHLIGHTS

Ralph Steadman: A Retrospective

October 5, 2019 to January 19, 2020

Ralph Steadman’s highly popular solo exhibition featured more than one hundred works displaying the visual legacy of one of the most influential British graphic artists of the last fifty years. Famous for his long collaboration with Hunter S. Thompson, Steadman long ago attained cult status and continues to influence artists from around the globe. A highlight of the show was a live Zoom video tour with Steadman in his studio in England, discussing his life, work, and ideas in an uncanny prelude to the many Zoom events that dominated life during the pandemic. The exhibition was curated by Anita O’Brien and Chris Miles and produced by The Ralph Steadman Collection with support from Flying Dog, United Therapeutics, and Audible.

Roger Shimomura: By Looking Back, We Look Forward February 8 to June 15, 2020

Roger Shimomura channels outrage and despair into provocative art, using a brightly colored Pop-Art style to depict a combination of exaggerated cultural stereotypes to interrogate popcultural icons, notions of race, self-portraiture, and current political affairs interpreted through his family’s World War II experience. Using dark humor to lampoon hypocrisy and promote social justice, many of his works explore the experience of “forever foreigners”—visual minorities perceived as outsiders—and the terrible toll such judgments can take during times of political strife. Curated by Anne Rose Kitagawa, this exhibition was drawn from the Collection of Jordan Schnitzer, augmented with loans from the artist, gallerists Sherry Leedy and Greg Kucera, and works from the permanent collection.

Nkame: A Retrospective of Cuban

Printmaker Belkis Ayón

February 6 to September 5, 2021

The JSMA was pleased to host Nkame: A Retrospective of Cuban Printmaker Belkis Ayón, a solo exhibition dedicated to the work of the late Cuban artist. During her short but fertile career, Belkis Ayón (1967-1999) produced an extraordinary body of work central to the history of contemporary printmaking in Cuba and abroad. She mined the founding narrative of the Afro-Cuban all-male Abakuá Secret Society to create an independent and powerful visual iconography. Nkame included forty-eight prints, many of them combined to make large, installation-scale environments, and audiovisual materials that encompass a wide range of the artist’s graphic production. Nkame was curated by Cristina Vives and organized by the Belkis Ayón Estate, Havana, Cuba, with the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art, with the tour managed by Landau Traveling Exhibitions of Los Angeles. The exhibition premiered in the United States in 2016, and in 2017 ArtNews magazine named it one of the top ten exhibitions in the world.

EXHIBITION HIGHLIGHTS

Carrie Mae Weems: The Usual Suspects

January 18 to May 3, 2020

Nationally celebrated Portland-born artist Carrie Mae Weems used photography, video, and installation to examine contemporary life and the African-American experience in her exhibition The Usual Suspects. Through this body of work created between 2014 and 2018, Weems asks, “How do you measure a life?” and looks at the constructed nature of racial identity— specifically, representations that associate Black bodies with criminality, and the resultant killings of Black men, women, and children without consequence. Opening shortly before the COVID-19 lockdown, Weems’s exhibition both preceded and coincided with the murders of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd that triggered nationwide protests and action seeking to end the long-standing conditions so tragically documented in her work.

Nuestra imagen actual | Our Present Image: Mexico and the Graphic Arts 1929-1956

October 3, 2020 to February 14, 2021

The JSMA and the Portland Art Museum (PAM) co-organized Nuestra imagen actual | Our Present Image: Mexico and the Graphic Arts 1929-1956. Curated by Cheryl Hartup, Curator of Academic Programs and Latin American and Caribbean Art at the JSMA, with the assistance of Mary Weaver Chapin, Curator of Prints and Drawings at PAM, the exhibition aimed to deepen and broaden the understanding and appreciation of the graphic art of post-revolutionary Mexico, a landmark in the history of twentieth-century printmaking and modern art. The exhibition presented sixty-two lithographs, woodcuts, and wood engravings by twenty-two artists, including Elizabeth Catlett, Leopoldo Méndez, José Clemente Orozco, Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, Rufino Tamayo,

Yampolsky, and other members of Mexico’s world famous Taller de Gráfica Popular (Popular Graphic Art Workshop; established in 1937). The majority of the prints were drawn from PAM’s exceptional print collection, including Siqueiros’s Nuestra imagen actual, a timeless and universal image of subjugation and torture that inspired the title of the exhibition.

Metamorphosis: Visualizing the Music of Paul Hindemith

March 6 to June 14, 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic and its closures of museums and performance spaces disrupted our original timeline for Metamorphosis in 2020, but happily the JSMA was finally able to present new works by Oregon artists Mika Aono, Anna Fidler, Andrew Myers, and Julia Oldham in the spring of 2021. The result of a multi-year collaboration with Eugene Symphony Music Director and Conductor Francesco Lecce-Chong, this exhibition was inspired by German composer Paul Hindemith’s orchestral masterpiece Symphonic Metamorphosis on Themes of Weber (1943). Videos of the artists’ works (created by JSMA design services manager Mike Bragg and featured artist Julia Oldham) accompanied the Eugene Symphony’s live performance at the Hult Center for the Performing Arts in February 2022.

THE BETTY AND JOHN SORENG GALLERY EXHIBITION HIGHLIGHTS

Myriad Treasures: Celebrating the Reinstallation of the Soreng Gallery of Chinese Art

February 8, 2020 to June 30, 2022

The Museum has long been defined by the generosity of donors, originally Gertrude Bass Warner (1863-1951), whose initial donation forms the core of our Asian collection. In 2019, our Chinese gallery finally underwent a long-awaited renovation with support from Betty Soreng and others who helped update the facility to a level commensurate with the high quality of the collection. The inaugural display featured four millennia of Chinese art from Warner’s legacy gift and exciting subsequent acquisitions, and included ceramics, bronzes, paintings, calligraphy, textiles, decorative art, and modern and contemporary works. Organized by Anne Rose Kitagawa, this reinstallation celebrated a century of cross-cultural engagement and heralded exciting future faculty and student research.

EXHIBITION HIGHLIGHTS

Evocative Shadows: Art of the Japanese Mezzotint

October 26, 2019 to July 5, 2020

Mezzotint means “half-tone,” referencing the technique’s capacity to produce a broad range of deep blacks through bright whites. When first developed in Europe in the seventeenth century, mezzotint’s tonal richness caused a sensation and was used to create reproductions of paintings. After the invention of photography, it nearly died out. Its revival can be credited to Japanese printmakers who exploited its expressive possibilities. Co-curated by Art History Professor Akiko Walley and Anne Rose Kitagawa, this exhibition featured mezzotints by various Japanese artists, focusing on Hamanishi Katsunori (born 1949), about whom the JSMA published a monograph with support from Elizabeth Moyer and Michael Powanda.

Rhapsody in Blue and Red: Ukiyo-e Prints of the Utagawa School

October 3, 2020 to July 17, 2021

In 2020, Art History Professor Akiko Walley and Anne Rose Kitagawa taught a course on Japanese prints of the Utagawa School. Fifteen UO undergraduate and graduate students studied the formation and development of this important artistic lineage and learned about exhibition planning and design in order to contribute to this installation, which featured loans from the Lee & Mary Jean Michels Collection. Organized by Walley and Kitagawa to reflect the students’ ideas and research, it also included Japanese paintings, armor, and assorted decorative and modern arts that were the focus of various classes.

Kwang Young Chun: Aggregations

August 24, 2019 to June 15, 2020

Kwang Young Chun combines hundreds of paper-wrapped parcels to create sculptural compositions that look like crystal formations, asteroids, or the surface of the moon. Drawing on his training in abstract painting and memories of childhood, when Korean apothecaries sold medicine in little bundles, he wraps each parcel in old book pages and likens them to cells, or units of information, seeing analogies to chemistry and the human condition. One work from the JSMA (acquired in 2018 from UO alumnus Sundaram Tagore) was featured, along with others from a special exhibition organized by the Brooklyn Museum of Art.

Korean Ceramic Culture: Legacy of Earth and Fire

January 10, 2021 to May 8, 2022

Focusing on fifteen centuries of Korea’s celebrated ceramic tradition, the works in this exhibition ranged from sixth-century earthenware vessels to luminous Goryeo-dynasty (9181392) celadons, and from rustically decorated Joseon-period (1392-1910) porcelains through contemporary works that reinterpret the past and forge new creative directions. These ceramics were juxtaposed with Korean paintings, textiles, photographs, and time-based art that provide aesthetic and cultural context. The exhibition was co-organized by Anne Rose Kitagawa and 2019-20 JSMA/Korea Foundation Global Challengers Museum Intern Bokyoung Hong, a specialist in early East Asian ceramics, who spent six months researching the JSMA’s Korean collection and planning this exhibition before returning home early, due to the pandemic.

Claire Burbridge: Pathways to the Invisible

January 15 to April 19, 2020

Claire Burbridge presented works made between 2015 and 2019, including several new pieces informed by a visit to Iceland and a Percent for Art state commission, during winter 2020. The exhibition’s title, Pathways to the Invisible, referenced Burbridge’s almost microscopic examination of nature and her beautifully drawn imaginary worlds. The show was curated by Jill Hartz, former executive director of the JSMA.

Steve Rowell: Uncanny Sensing, Remote Valleys

January 23 to March 28, 2021

During winter 2021, Steve Rowell’s multicomponent project, Uncanny Sensing, Remote Valleys (2013-20) investigated ecology and post-natural landscapes. The artist collected images, audio clips, and data from autonomous aerial cameras, air-monitoring sensors, and sound detectors to create an immersive installation. The work’s title combines “remote sensing” (a method of data collection from the physical world via sensors and other remote technology) and “uncanny valley” (the cognitive dissonance caused by lifelike replicas of living things). In February 2021, Dr. Emily Eliza Scott, Assistant Professor of Art History and Environmental Studies, moderated a public Zoom program with Rowell about his methods and how we understand, perceive, and experience the environment through technology.

Creativity Counts: Possibilities Shaped by Constraints of Arithmetic

April 10 to July 11, 2021

JSMA’s commitment to academic support includes faculty and students in all disciplines, not just the arts and humanities. E. E. Eischen, Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics, developed a new undergraduate course offered spring term 2020— “Math and the creative process: A participatory exploration of number theory.” This project-based class immersed students in creative, abstract problem-solving, with an emphasis on developing skills to explore and communicate about pure mathematics. For their final project, students produced twodimensional visualizations of topics related to number theory. The resulting exhibition shared the visual beauty and aesthetically pleasing patterns of abstract mathematics.

COMMON SEEING EXHIBITION HIGHLIGHTS

Resistance as Power: A Curatorial Response to “Under the Feet of Jesus”

September 7, 2019 to February 23, 2020

Under the Feet of Jesus, the UO’s 2019-20 Common Reading book selection, inspired the JSMA’s Common Seeing theme, Resistance as Power. This exhibition included two works on loan from the Smithsonian American Art Museum (Farm Workers’ Altar, 1967, by Emanuel Martinez and Braceros, 1960, by Domingo Ulloa) that provided historical and cultural touchstones for the 1995 novel and contemporary works from the JSMA’s permanent collection (including recent acquisitions by Ester Hernández, V. Maldonado, and Lilliam Nieves). Under the Feet of Jesus author Helena Maria Viramontes toured the gallery with faculty and students in October 2019. During Winter Term 2020, visiting artist and Latinx cultural worker Gilda Posada led Latinx Scholars ARC students in a screen-printing workshop in response to the exhibition’s themes of identity, cultural heritage, workers’ rights, and social justice.

LOOK. Listen. Learn. Act.

January 9 to June 14, 2021

The 2020-21 Common Seeing responded to the UO’s anti-racism initiative “Listen. Learn. Act;” the novel This is My America by Kimberly Johnson, UO Vice Provost for the Division of Undergraduate Education and Student Success; and the New York Times Magazine’s The 1619 Project. The exhibition included powerful works by Hank Willis Thomas and Alison Saar from the collection of Jordan D. Schnitzer, and by Lezley Saar and Kara Walker from the JSMA’s permanent collection. Thomas’s An All Colored Cast featured a grid of 36 archival headshots of Black, Latinx, and Asian-American entertainers obscured beneath Andy Warhol-inspired blocks of color. These portraits could only be viewed when a directional external light, such as a camera flash, or specially filtered glasses were used. With this, Thomas critiqued Hollywood’s double-edged treatment of BIPOC performers.

A Woman’s Worth

January 9, 2021 to August 15, 2021

A Woman’s Worth, curated by Emily Shinn, Curatorial Extern in European and American Art (201921), considered the representation of women by male artists from the Renaissance through the twentieth century. Paintings and prints from JSMA’s permanent collection explored archetypal ideals of feminine virtues, the objectification of the female form, and woman as model and muse. This exhibition was organized in support of the Feminist Art Coalition (https://feministartcoalition.org/), a cooperative effort among participating museums nationwide to take feminist thought and practice as a point of departure and use art as a catalyst for discourse and civic engagement during and after the 2020 presidential election cycle.

Pierre Daura’s Enchanted Universe

March 20 to August 1, 2021

Drawn from the permanent collections of the JSMA and Knight Law Center, this exhibition explored the paintings of Catalan-American artist Pierre Daura through his answers to a survey conducted in 1953 by Surrealist poet and founder, André Breton. The survey asked participants to consider the connection between art and magic, as part of Breton’s research for an art historical opus titled L’Art Magique, which positioned art as an ancient conduit for magic and artists as modern magicians. Though he never associated with the Surrealist movement, Daura’s answers reveal an imagination deeply engaged with Breton’s thesis. The works in this exhibition revealed the enchanted refrain that runs through the mature decades of Daura’s prolific and diverse output between the 1930s and the 1970s. Moving nimbly between landscape, portraiture, and abstraction, and watercolor, oil, and gouache, Daura embodies Breton's ideal of an artist-magician dedicated to initiating viewers into an entrancing, veiled world. This exhibition was curated by Emily Shinn, Curatorial Extern in European and American Art (2019-21), and was indebted to the generosity of the artist’s daughter, Martha Daura, and the dedicated research on L’Art Magique conducted by 2019-20 extern Caroline Phillips.

SHARED VISIONS EXHIBITION HIGHLIGHTS

64

In the fall of 2020, the JSMA launched Shared Visions, a wide-ranging exhibition and academic enhancement program that facilitates connections between important works of art and University of Oregon students and faculty, JSMA members and visitors, and all of our virtual audiences. Shared Visions represents both a rebranding and an evolution of the museum’s Masterworks on Loan initiative that has brought exceptional works of art from private collections to the JSMA, including a diverse cross-section of contemporary and postwar art, and select, stellar examples of 19th and 20th century modern art. Sharing the visions of artists—whose works are in turn shared with the museum by their collectors—Shared Visions supports the museum’s teaching mission by providing students and the community access to historically significant works of art otherwise inaccessible to UO and Eugene audiences. The display of Shared Visions works in the JSMA’s galleries is complemented online by curatorial commentary and study guides, an edited list of links to selected learning resources about the artists and their work, images of the artworks themselves, a periodically updated gallery slideshow, as well as virtual tours of Shared Visions works in the galleries.

With an increased focus on amplifying the artistic and cultural vision of diverse artists, growing the next generation of art enthusiasts and museum professionals, and providing a platform for cross-cultural understanding, Shared Visions reflects the belief at the heart of the JSMA: that knowledge of art enriches people’s lives by fostering human empathy and understanding.

The JSMA is grateful for the opportunity to share works from the private collections of Shared Visions lenders. In turn, lenders are invited to visit the museum, learn about the academic mission enhanced by their loans, and offer much appreciated support for the JSMA’s operational and programmatic needs.

Since July 2019, the JSMA has had the pleasure of working with dozens of lenders to share exceptional works by artists such as Josef Albers, Ruth Asawa, Banksy, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Marc Chagall, Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian, Helen Frankenthaler, Barkley L. Hendricks, Eva Hesse, Rashid Johnson, KAWS, Lee Krasner, Yayoi Kusama, René Magritte, Édouard Manet, Kerry James Marshall, Alice Neel, Georgia O’Keefe, Pablo Picasso, Robert Ryman, Chaim Soutine, Cy Twombly, Matthew Wong, Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, Billie Zangewa and many more.

As this list demonstrates, Shared Visions loans have played a particularly strong role in bringing significant racial, gender, and international diversity to the JSMA’s galleries.

COLLECTIONS HIGHLIGHTS

Each year, in keeping with the museum’s mission and collections development goals, the JSMA’s curators and director identify artworks for addition to the permanent collection. We are deeply grateful to donors who offer gifts from their private collections, acquire works from artists or galleries on our behalf, and/or make purchases possible by contributing to the museum’s dedicated acquisition funds (some of which are endowed, but most of which are not) that allow us to pursue selected purchases. Curators’ conversations with artists, gallerists, collectors, and researchers, as well as with their museum colleagues in collections management and education, and with University faculty and instructors inform our selections. As we continue important discussions about diversity and representation in the permanent collection, we anticipate further growth in underrepresented areas. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of the JSMA Collections Committee, and to the input of UO faculty across disciplines for whom the permanent collection provides invaluable teaching opportunities, we continue to develop and refine our strategic vision for acquisitions.

Between July 1, 2019 and June 30, 2021, we grew our collection by 454 art objects and 14 archival items, including paintings, sculpture, graphics and other works on paper, silverwork, decorative arts, ceramics, textiles, artists’ tools, and more. Several of these represent our core collection strengths of Asian, American, Pacific Northwest, and Latin American art—in many cases, the JSMA’s first works by established artists, including Judy Cooke (American, b. 1940), Raymond Saunders (American, b. 1924), Lewis Watts (American, b. 1946), KUNIYOSHI Yasuo (Japanese, 1889-1953), ZAO Wou-ki (Chinese, 1920-2013), and SHIN Sang-ho (Korean, b. 1947). In 2019, JSMA purchased its first works from Crow’s Shadow Institute of the Arts: lithographs by Natalie Ball (American, Black, Modoc and Klamath, b. 1980) and Vanessa Renwick (American, b. 1961). One goal of the JSMA’s collections development plan has been to acquire more works by Chicanx artists. The museum has very few works that professors can use to teach ancient indigenous art of Mexico; with this in mind, in 2020 we purchased Luna Ilena by Ester Hernández (Mexican-American, b. 1944), which features one of the most important Aztec sculptures known today—Coyolxauhqui, the moon goddess—and were able to exhibit this print soon after in Entre mundos: Memory and Material.

We also expanded our holdings by several artists with long histories with the JSMA, including Rick Bartow (American, Mad River Band Wiyot, 1946-2016), Pierre Daura (Catalan-American, 1896-1976), Anne Kutka McCosh (American, 1901-94), Jack McLarty (American, 1919-2011), Mark Tobey (American, 1890-1976), SEKINO Jun’ichirō (Japanese, 1914-88), MAKI Haku (Japanese, 1924-2000), Masami TERAOKA (Japanese-born American, b. 1936), and Roger Shimomura (JapaneseAmerican, b. 1939).

In 2021, the PhotoAlliance Board of Directors gifted a group of 53 photographs made between 1968 and 2016 representing the work of 46 different artists working in Afghanistan, Canada, Cuba, India, Japan, Kenya, Korea, Mali, Mexico, the Netherlands, Russia, the United States, and Vietnam. This selection of works addresses several themes important to the JSMA’s collections development goals and academic mission: individual aesthetics, conceptual-based work, environment and landscape, portraiture, and social justice.

Gifts of European art, such as a collection of nineteen etchings by Dutch genre artist Adriaen van Ostade (161085) and three illustrations from Salvador Dalí’s (Spanish, 1904-89) The Divine Comedy, increased representation of European art and opened up new possibilities for teaching. The Dalí works were included in Salvador Dalí: illustrator, printmaker, storyteller in the MacKinnon Gallery.

74

It is always exciting when our exhibitions lead to acquisitions. Our Winter 2020 exhibition Roger Shimomura: By Looking Back, We Look Forward resulted in the acquisition of one painting and five prints by the artist. Works by printmaker Mildred Bryant Brooks (American, 1901-95), including nine etchings that were gifted to the collection from the artist’s family in 2019 and 2020, were the focus of Mildred Bryant Brooks: The Art of Etching, our first fullydigital exhibition (https://jsma.uoregon.edu/MildredBryantBrooks).

A large percentage of the permanent collection, including most of new acquisitions, is available for viewing in our online searchable database at https://jsma.uoregon.edu/jsma-collections.

ACQUSITIONS HIGHLIGHTS

Roots

Rubén Trejo (American, 1937-2009). 1982. Steel, wood, metal, wood shavings, 59 ½ x 19 x 17 ¾ in. Purchased with funds from the Mark Sponenburgh Fund; 2020:9.1 This work by Rubén Trejo, the most important Chicanx sculptor in the Northwest, was initially borrowed for the JSMA’s 2019-20 “Common Seeing” exhibition, Resistance as Power: A Curatorial Response to Under the Feet of Jesus in support of the UO’s “Common Reading” assigned book, Under the Feet of Jesus by Helena Maria Viramontes. It is included in Many Wests: Artists Shape an American Idea, a major traveling exhibition organized in partnership with the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Art Bridges, and three other museums in our region, which was presented at JSMA in fall 2022.

Im Flüchtlingslager Nikolsburg: Schlafraum (Dormitory)

Max Pollak (American, b. Czechoslovakia, 1886-1970). 1914-15. Drypoint, ed. 36/75, plate: 7 3/8 x 4 7/16 in.; sheet: 10 ½ x 9 in. Museum purchase with funds provided by Michael C. Powanda and Elizabeth D. Moyer; 2019:46.2

Jewish printmaker Max Pollak was born in Czechoslavakia and raised in Vienna, Austria. This image is one from a series of etchings Pollak made while on duty with the Austrian army in 1914 to capture the experiences of Galacian Jewish families enduring harsh conditions in a refugee camp in Moravia. This print and five others from Pollak’s In the Barrack Camp at Nikolsburg portfolio were on view in the Graves Gallery in winter 2022.

Pattern Seekers #1/ Select-o-View

Dan Powell (American, b. 1950). 1981. Gelatin silver print with graphite and colored pencil, 18 x 18 in. Gift of Jonathan Lampert; 2020:23.3

Dan Powell is Associate Professor Emeritus at the University of Oregon and is the former head of the photography department . As an important figure in the regional history of the medium, Powell’s conceptual photography received as gifts to the museum complements our holdings of the artist’s more traditional landscape body of work.

76

In the Halls of Justice

Carrie Mae Weems (American, b. 1953). From the series Dreaming in Cuba , 2002. Archival inkjet print, image: 16 x 15 in.; sheet: 24 x 21 in. Gift of the PhotoAlliance Board of Directors in honor of the artist. 2020:22.1

Carrie Mae Weems uses photography, video, and installation to examine the African-American experience. In this image, the artist inserts herself as history’s ghost and witness, occupying the corridor of a once stately building. “A part of my project is absolutely inserting the black presence in the world, asserting it as the norm,” wrote Weems in 2003. “Not as the abnormal. Not as simply racial politics. But rather, embracing the breadth of this humanity that comes through this brown skin.”

Corona I (Crown I)

Lilliam Nieves (Puerto Rican, b. 1975). 2015. Iron and plush fabric, filling, and gold trim, crown: 8 x 8 ¾ x 8 ½ in; pillow: 2 ½ x 12 x 12 ½ in. Purchased with Funds from the Ford Contemporary Art Endowment; 2019:44.1

Corona I fulfills several strategic objectives to diversify the Latin American and Caribbean art collection—to acquire three-dimensional conceptual objects, to acquire works by women, to acquire works made in countries that are the subject of UO courses, but underrepresented in the collection. Corona I has the added benefit that students can interact with the work (as the artist intended) during class visits to the Gilkey Research Center, and discuss how Nieves’s work addresses gender politics and beauty rituals, the role of beauty pageants in Latin America and the Caribbean, Puerto Rico’s economy, politics, and status, and women’s work in the family and across generations.

Unnumbered Portrait III

Narsiso Martínez (Mexican, b. 1977). 2016. Linocut print and matte gel on cardboard box, 31 ½ x 17 ½ in. Gift of Michael Hames-García. 2021:4.1

Another of JSMA’s collections development goals is to acquire more works by Latin artists. Unnumbered Portrait III will serve classes in Printmaking, Latin American Art History, Contemporary Art, Indigenous, Race and Ethnic Studies, Environmental Justice, Romance Languages, History, Anthropology, Latinx Studies, Latin American Studies, and First Year Interest groups, among others. Drawn from the artist’s own experience as a farm worker in Wenatchee, Washington, Martínez’s work focuses on the people performing the labors necessary to fill produce sections and restaurant kitchens around the country. Farmworker portraits are drawn and printed on discarded produce boxes collected from grocery stores. In a style informed by inter-war Social Realism and its antecedent European Realism, Martínez makes visible the difficult labor and onerous working conditions of the American farm worker. Our former UO colleague, Dr. Michael Hames-García, now Professor of Mexican American and Latina/o Studies at the University of Texas at Austin, purchased and donated this work to the JSMA because it spoke to the experiences of many UO students and their families.

77

Rock Face and Circle, Ladakh, India

Linda Connor (American, b. 1939). 2016. Archival digital print from a 4 x 5 negative, 8 ¾ x 7 in. Gift of Linda Connor. 2020:13.2

Linda Connor’s work embraces spirit by a path that celebrates both the sacred and the profane. For more than 50 years, Connor has photographed distant places of devotional power and sites that resonate with significance, hidden and implied. The light seen in the prints—at times fleeting and suggestive, and at others defining and all-powerful—is both metaphoric and recognized as a translation of life force in its own right.

American Alien #3

Roger Shimomura (Japanese-American, b. 1939). 2006. Acrylic on canvas, 36 x 24 in. Museum purchase through the Hartz FUNd for Contemporary Art. 2020:7.1

In this tender painting artist Roger Shimomura depicts himself as a small child with his mother in the doorway of their World War II family home in Block 6 at the Minidoka War Relocation Center in Hunt, Idaho—one of ten U.S. internment camps in which 120,000 Japanese and American citizens of Japanese descent were incarcerated from 1942-45. While his mother is fully illuminated and smiles tenderly as she sweeps, young Roger grips a tiny baseball bat and is seen entirely in shadow, obscuring any expression of emotion. The warmth of this painted memory is undermined by two strands of barbed wire silhouetted ominously against the night sky beyond the barrack window.

Our Friends are All Over the World

SHEN Shaolun (沈绍伦/沈紹倫, b. 1935). Chinese; People’s Republic of China, 1964. Lithograph; ink and color on paper, 41 ¾ x 30 3/8 in. Anonymous Gift. 2019:59.1

One interesting facet of Chinese Communist propaganda is its incorporation of other revolutionary movements. Thus, in addition to posters featuring Chinese heroes and narratives, there are a number like this in which people of various cultures are depicted together. In the foreground, an African man and a Latin-American or European woman are shown clapping, cheering, and bearing bouquets of flowers alongside their Chinese female comrade. Behind and in the distance can be seen a large crowd of other flower-bearing celebrants representing Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and Latin America. The poster’s designer, SHEN Shaolun, worked in the Shanghai People’s Fine Arts Publishing House producing watercolor imagery of uplifting political themes.

Reflection of PhiladelphiaHomage to Ordenberg

HAMANISHI Katsunori (Japanese, b. 1949). Shōwa period, 1988. Mezzotint with relief; ink and color on paper, ed. AP, 14 11/16 x 20 3/16 in. Purchased with a gift from Elizabeth D. Moyer & Michael C. Powanda. 2020:6.2a,b

In 1987, mezzotint printmaker Hamanishi Katsunori received a grant that enabled him to study at the University of Pennsylvania. Through this exposure, he drew inspiration from such contemporary American artists as Claes Oldenberg (b. 1929), Jim Dine (born 1935), and especially Barnett Newman (1905-1970), whose audacious color, form, and design provided exciting new stimuli for his own intaglio prints. Inspired in part by Newman’s “zips” (compositions characterized by thin vertical lines), Hamanishi began to add color to his mezzotints. The button and clothspin in this composition pay homage to two Oldenberg sculptures in Philadelphia (Split Button on the Penn campus and Clothespin by the Center City subway), while the red rope references Newman. The acquisition of both the print and mezzotint printing plate used to produce it provides valuable opportunities to teach about Hamanishi’s technique.

Vanessa Renwick (American, b. 1961). 2019. Nine color lithograph with gold leaf, 22 ¼ x 22 ¼ in. Museum purchase through the Hartz FUNd for Contemporary Art. 2020:5.1

Renwick’s lithograph disperse , printed at Crow’s Shadow Institute of the Arts with collaborative Master Printer Judith Baumann, depicts the stages of life and metaphysical migration of a wolf pack in Yellowstone. This work demonstrates Renwick’s deep interest in human interactions with the natural world and expands JSMA’s holdings of works that engage with environmental issues.

Woman and Man on a Bed

Richard Tuschman (American, b. 1956). 2012. Archival digital print, 16 x 20 in. Gift of Michael Yachnik and Michael Fleming. 2019:53.1

Richard Tuschman’s work is a contemporary crossover in photographic practice between digital and analog processes. For this series, the artist constructs tableau materials in miniature, photographs living models, and assembles the whole montage through digital processes. The effect yields a modest painterly feel that seamlessly blends two typically distinct uses of the photographic medium. This photograph was exhibited in STILL Photography, December 7, 2019–June 14, 2020.

STUDENT SUCCESS & CAMPUS ENGAGEMENT

Student Success and Campus Engagement

A core mission of the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art is to enhance and further the academic mission of the University of Oregon—a commitment to exceptional teaching, research, discovery, and service. We believe strongly in the power of original works of art to enrich lives, demonstrate connections across cultures, and foster the development of collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking. As a laboratory for active learning, the JSMA believes that art and artists can help generate change in people’s lives and in society.

2019-2020 Academic Programs Highlights

Even though the JSMA was open for only two-thirds of the academic year, the museum had its biggest year connecting its collections and exhibitions to students and UO staff for a class assignment or guided tour. During the 2019-2020 academic year, 10,223 students from 323 classes across 55 departments at UO visited the JSMA in person or remotely as part of their academic work. As in past years, the museum organized a busy schedule of public programs during fall and winter term that were widely attended by students, and JSMA staff lectured to classes outside the museum, as far away as Moscow, Russia.

Latinx Student Engagement

With support provided by Art Bridges, the JSMA organized an academic program with the UO’s first Latinxfocused Academic Residential Community (ARC). The Latinx Scholars ARC creates and promotes a positive and supportive space that eases the transition of first-year Latinx students into UO life while empowering them to become prominent campus leaders. The 30 students, along with their academic advisor and planning committee, visited the Resistance as Power exhibition, then participated in a weekend printmaking workshop led by cultural worker Gilda Posada and facilitated by UO printmaking professors and print studio technicians. Few of the students who participated in the workshop had taken an art class. Students selected an issue they cared about, designed an image and text, and printed a silkscreen print. This hands-on art experience was valuable for students’ self-discovery, confidence, cultural and community enrichment, and creative growth and problem-solving. Generous support for this project was provided by Art Bridges.

Collection Used for Class and Virtual Program

Professor Dorothee Ostmeier spearheaded a special academic program called Satire and Fairy Tale in Contemporary Art Projects of Peregrine Honig. She introduced students in her Magic, Uncanny, Surrealist, and Cynical Tales class to Peregrine Honig’s “Father Gander” print portfolio in the JSMA’s collection. Ostmeier’s class, based on her scholarship on fairy tale traditions in the contexts of gender studies and the history of satire and cynicism, established a framework for the discussion of Honig’s visual mediation of classical knowledge and contemporary critical reflection. Honig’s six lithographs present satirical commentaries on specific traditional tales, mostly from the Brothers Grimm. The students organized and participated in the February 2020 public program: they greeted the public, dramatically interpreted their reflections on and interpretations of Honig’s work, introduced the artist, and facilitated a Q&A with Honig after her presentation on her work. The “Father Gander” portfolio was displayed in the Ford Lecture Hall.

Virtual Object Viewing

Since the JSMA was closed in spring term, Professor Akiko Walley and Chief Curator Anne Rose Kitagawa recorded a fifteen-minute object viewing of three objects in the collection—wooden block, a baren, and a recent impression taken from the block—that was later presented to the students in the Early Modern Period: Visual Culture of the Floating World class during their regular meeting time. Anne Rose answered Professor Walley’s prepared questions by describing the wooden block in detail, discussing how prints were made during the Edo period, and demonstrating how printers used such tools to create woodblock prints.

Color Theory Reimagined

Every spring, Professor Esther Hagenlocher, who teaches in UO’s School of Architecture and Environment, introduces her students to the JSMA and its Shared Visions loans for an assignment in her Color Theory and Application class. Due to the pandemic, students received high-resolution images of works in the Shared Visions program. Each student studied and responded to one work using colored pencils or other materials on paper to demonstrate their understanding of color in relation to material, texture, light, and form. Working on a 20.5 x 13 inch piece of paper, students selected and applied color to support their design concepts and multiple design functions. These works on paper became part of each student's Color Portfolio.

Faculty-led Collaborative Event

Sanctuary, A Performance was a live-streamed collaborative event exploring women/queer people of color’s collective experiences of seeking refuge from persecution under the ongoing violence of colonization. The live portion took place outdoors in front of the JSMA. Sanctuary featured UO faculty Ana-Maurine Lara (lead artist), Akiko Hatakeyama (collaborating artist) and Alaí Reyes-Santos (producer), approximately ten UO students, other collaborating artists, and an artistic director. A webinar—moderated by Jillian Hernandez and featuring a conversation with Lara, Hatakeyama, Rosamond S. King, Courtney Desiree Morris, and director D’Lo—was held over Zoom after the performance. These in-depth, multiyear collaborations offered students an opportunity to hone their public-facing skills.

New Modes of Learning Yield Big Results

In an average year, Chief Curator Anne Rose Kitagawa gives dozens of class tours, co-teaches with Art history faculty, presents to students, and leads class assignments and object-viewings for classes in the museum featuring Asian Art. In the mostly virtual 2020-2021 academic year, Anne Rose Kitagawa adapted existing resources and learned new technologies to support faculty and to make the JSMA’s collections and exhibitions available for learning. This resulted in several tours, 15 presentations to students, 10 class assignments in response to digital assets, and multiple virtual object viewings. A reported 740 students engaged with the art of China, Japan, and Korea as a result!

87

Faculty Engagement

The newly formed Faculty Engagement Working Group (FEWG) allowed the JSMA to promote regular dialogue between faculty and museum staff during the pandemic. Its purpose is to foster new and innovative faculty and student use of the museum in teaching and research. The FEWG meets three times during the academic year, with presentations from museum staff about upcoming exhibitions, special projects of potential interest, and updates on how to access JSMA collections and exhibitions for object-based teaching. Additionally, these group meetings offer faculty an opportunity to discuss their research and teaching and brainstorm ideas for new collaborations with museum staff and other faculty. Paul Peppis, professor in the Department of English, director of the Oregon Humanities Center, and a member of the JSMA’s Leadership Council, chairs the group, with twelve members total. The FEWG met in December 2020 and March 2021, and additional side meetings occurred between members and their colleagues.

To say the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art has enriched my college experience would be an understatement. I have found a community of individuals whom I regard as family. The staff at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art have given me the support and confidence to pursue opportunities I wouldn’t have otherwise thought of taking. They have cheered me

Student Engagement

In addition to supporting academic engagement with the JSMA’s collections and exhibitions, the JSMA supports UO students’ individual educational journeys through student employment and internships at the museum.

The JSMA employs an average of 50 students annually in various positions and internships in communications, curatorial and collections, education, visitor services, gallery monitoring, event support, and more. As a whole, JSMA student workers speak more than 10 languages, represent many countries and cultures, and contribute their time and talent to countless museum initiatives, programs, and departments. JSMA student workers tell us that working in the museum contributes to their career goals, enriches their personal interests, and connects them to like-minded art enthusiasts.

When the museum closed in March of 2020, the JSMA sought to offer student workers opportunities to work remotely, recognizing that students drive our mission and inspire us as an academic museum. By April 2020, we launched Museum Students/Museum Stories (MS/MS), a new program to keep student workers employed while the museum was closed. They wrote and made digital content for our website and social media messaging, telling their stories about their work at the museum, how it impacts their career plans, insights, and more. They also researched what other academic museums were creating in that time of sheltering at home, scouring hundreds of university museum websites for intriguing new models of online art learning.

The JSMA thanks Norm Brown and Anne Cooling for making paid student opportunities possible at the JSMA through the Anne Cooling Student Impact Fund, which was created to support student employment and academic internships at the JSMA.

EDUCATION & OUTREACH

Throughout the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 academic years, the JSMA continued to offer educational and outreach programs for youth and families despite the challenges of the pandemic. Prior to spring 2020, the JSMA offered a robust menu of in-person educational programs such as Pre-K and K-12 tours during the school year, Art Camps, Family Days, and a variety of arts and healthcare programs, highschool and collegiate-level programs, and professional development for teachers.

Following school closures and the shift to remote learning in spring 2020, the JSMA adapted its programs to a virtual format and offered new online artmaking activities to be enjoyed at home by launching Art Teaches, an online portal for K-12 distance learning, and JSMA Creates, a video series featuring hands-on projects based on works in the collection or in the Shared Visions program.

Despite the learning curve and challenges of shifting programs to an online format, the response was tremendous. Programs such as Madres Club garnered double and triple the average attendance when held virtually, and participants logged on from across the state.

Education & Outreach Highlights

LEARN MORE:

Art Teaches

The Art Teaches page on the JSMA’s website is the launching page for remote learning opportunities for teachers and schools. The latest JSMA opportunity for students in the classroom or at home is the Art Teaches –Myriad Treasures curriculum: a collection of three learning videos, lesson plans and art and writing activities that culminates with STEAMbased artmaking activities. Art Teaches – Myriad Treasures was created by a team of educators and staff, Exhibition Interpreters, and graduate students. The full curriculum, video access, book lists, resources and activity pages are all available in one place.

Our Teacher Resource Center contains links to many past professional development materials and information about Outreach Kits which are loaned free to classrooms for three weeks. Here, educators can find Teacher Resource Sheets for new and upcoming exhibitions which offer information about artists, links for further resources, ideas for activities and vocabulary for in-classroom support before and after visiting the museum.

JSMA Creates

A free online resource for art lovers of all ages and skill levels, JSMA Creates offers object-based art lessons to enjoy at home. Each project highlights artwork from the JSMA collection or Shared Visions. The projects have been designed to utilize simple materials that should be easy to find around your home. JSMA Creates currently offers projects inspired by the artists Roy Lichtenstein, KAWS, and Alexander Calder.

STELLAR Online

The STELLAR Online Project (Strategies for Technology Enhanced Learning and Literacy Through Art), a partnership between the JSMA and the UO College of Education, completed the creation of an online professional development website for rural teachers from around Oregon and actually across the country in 2021! The project was funded by a U.S. Department of Education, Institute of Education Sciences (USDEd IES) grant. The collaborative focus was to give educators in rural districts the experience and tools necessary to use art to teach argument writing in the classroom through the adoption of Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) with their students. The research showed increased critical thinking skills, writing competencies, art literacy and engagement in students grades 4-8. Fifty-one teachers and over one thousand students participated in the second phase of the STELLAR Project. The JSMA received national recognition as a result of two journal chapters that were published in 2020 that highlighted the impact of STELLAR on students’ growth in writing.

School Tours and Exhibition Interpreters

More than 1,700 K-12 students toured the JSMA in academic year 2019-2020 before the museum’s closure in March 2020, thanks to the volunteer efforts of the JSMA’s 41 active and provisional Exhibition Interpreters (EIs). From July 2019 - March 2020, EIs volunteered approximately 3,413 hours to support K-12 learning at the JSMA.

In the 2020-2021 academic year, EIs led the way in hosting hybrid meetings at the museum to continue their training in support of K-12 tours. Their adaptability and hands-on approach to mastering hybrid learning enabled the JSMA to offer responsive tours to K-12 teachers during an academic year that saw limited in-person tours and a continued need for remote learning. Thank you, EIs!

93

Art Heals

The JSMA has seen tremendous growth in arts and healthcare programs over the past few years. In 2019, the JSMA’s Art Heals program served 700 individuals through a variety of programs, from established offerings like VSA/Art Access Art Workshops for children with special needs to newer classes like Reflections and Connections

Thanks to the museum’s adaptability in rapidly shifting these programs to remote formats in 2020, that audience doubled in the 18 months that followed. Almost 1400 patients, medical care providers, Latina mothers, children with disabilities, and adults with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease attended one of JSMA’s 45 virtual workshops.

As the audience grew, so did the geographic reach of Art Heals. The remote access allowed the JSMA to reach more rural and underserved audiences, including postpartum Latina mothers and oncology patients living in remote areas of Lane and Benton Counties.

The Art Heals program includes workshops for cancer patients, care providers, postpartum mothers, and hospice care partners through a partnership with Good Samaritan Health Services and Stahlbush Island Farms. Participants receive free packets of art materials to use while creating alongside their peers in live painting workshops offered over Zoom. The workshops provide connection, relaxation, and a creative outlet for participants.

Reflections and Connections, a program for individuals living with young-onset or early to mid-stage dementia and their care partners, shifted from in-person discussions in the museum’s galleries to virtual creative conversations on Zoom in 2020. Each week of the five-week series centers around a different theme. Despite the change in format, Reflections and Connections serves as a platform for social connection with other individuals who are having similar experiences.

94

Art Inspires World of Work

The World of Work (WoW) program was established at the JSMA in 2014 as a threemonth paid internship program for high school students from underrepresented backgrounds interested in pursuing careers in art museums. The goals of the WoW program include

(1) teaching 21st century professional skills;

(2) familiarizing interns with higher education to promote post-high school opportunities; and (3) increasing the diversity of those working in our cultural institutions to better reflect the diverse communities being served.

The Spring 2020 WoW programming began as usual with online application submissions in Fall 2019. Twentyone local high school students submitted applications, letters of recommendation, and essay submissions. Four interns were chosen in winter term to participate in the spring cohort for workshops that were re-structured for a virtual format. WoW interns journaled throughout the term and participated in workshops on ArtAccess and Art Heals, resumé building, Visual Thinking Strategies and a WoW Mentorship workshop with former WoW graduates.

COMMUNITY PROJECT RESIST COVID

| TAKE 6!

To help curb the spread of COVID-19 and support public health guidelines, the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art, with support from the University of Oregon’s Office of the President and Division of Equity & Inclusion, organized local installations from RESIST COVID | TAKE 6! , a public art campaign by nationally renowned, Oregon-born artist Carrie Mae Weems. Weems applies the visual language of advertising, combining photographs, text, and bold graphics to dispel myths about COVID-19 and promote known preventive measures. Take 6! refers to the recommended social distance of six feet. Through billboards, posters, lawn signs, and reusable totes, RESIST COVID | TAKE 6! brought awareness to the greater impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Black, brown, and Indigenous communities. This multilingual project delivered hope and no-nonsense practical advice to stop the spread. Our community was the first to host the art pieces promoting the vaccine.

DEVELOPMENT

At the heart of the JSMA is our mission to enhance the UO’s academic mission and further the appreciation of the visual arts for everyone in our community. As 2020 wore on and the pandemic continued into 2021, museum staff adapted programs, adjusted exhibitions and events, and sought new ways to engage students, faculty, and our community with the visual arts thanks to the support of JSMA members, the Patron Circle, Leadership Council and Emeriti Group, funders and individual donors.

Everyone who supports the museum makes our mission possible. Thank you for being part of our vision, supporting our efforts, and believing in the role of the visual arts in our complex world.

JSMA members

JSMA members bolster the museum’s dynamic, and enrich exhibition and education programs through their memberships, and enjoy special member-only events, programs, and discounts at the store and more.

We offer a deeply heartfelt Thank You to all of our JSMA members who supported the museum despite the building’s closure and shift to virtual programming in 2020 and 2021. Your dedication to the JSMA’s mission meant more than ever, and your support made so much possible!

Patron Circle members

Patron Circle donors are at the center of the philanthropy that sustains the JSMA. Sharing a commitment to the academic and cultural mission of the museum, Patron Circle donors support museum priorities, special programs and exhibitions, and collections.

Leadership Council & Emeriti Group

The Leadership Council is the JSMA’s primary advisory body with a goal of ensuring the artistic quality, educational integrity, excellence, sustainability, and financial strength of the museum. The JSMA greatly appreciates the contributions of Leadership Council members and the volunteers who serve on Leadership Council committees to advise the museum.

102

In fall of 2020, the Leadership Council created a new Education Committee to advise the museum’s robust education programs and attract key partners in education, arts, and healthcare. We also formed a new Communications & Engagement Committee to deepen ties with the community and organizations that support the JSMA, and to explore how the JSMA engages different audiences. Both committees got off to a strong start and became immediate contributors to the museum’s work.

In 2021 the JSMA also announced a new effort to foster continued relationships with former members of the Leadership Council and Museum Board of Directors. The JSMA Leadership Council Emeriti Group offers former volunteers continued engagement through regular updates from the museum, invitations to special functions, thought partnership, and ongoing recognition of their contributions to the museum.
