FROM THE DIRECTOR In 1932, in the depths of the Great Depression, the Portland Art Association completed the first phase of an ambitious new museum building in downtown Portland. Designed by the young architect Pietro Belluschi, the new building presented strikingly crisp lines and an elegant vision of space to complement the artworks in the growing collections. That structure, of course, we now know as the original wing of the Portland Art Museum’s Main Building.

That same year, the Museum received one of the most significant gifts in its history: a collection of 750 Japanese woodblock prints from Mary Andrews Ladd. With works representing the full breadth of the Japanese woodblock tradition, the Ladd Collection formed the remarkable core of a Japanese art collection at the Museum that has grown to include nearly 3,000 prints. When the museum added a new, Belluschi-designed addition in 1939, the Asian Art galleries provided a beautiful showcase for the collections.

In those same galleries this fall, and throughout our special exhibition spaces on the first floor, you’ll find another outstanding collection of Japanese art. Poetic Imagination in Japanese Art: Selections from the Collection of Mary and Cheney Cowles, opening October 13, presents paintings and calligraphy from one of the finest private collections in North America, span from the eighth through the 20th century. Formed over four decades, the collection of Mary and Cheney Cowles reveals thoughtful and discriminating taste, at once informed by a deep knowledge of what the Japanese have always cherished and an adventurous spirit open to idiosyncratic departures from the canon. Poetic Imagination in Japanese Art will be the first major exhibition devoted to the collection, and the great majority of works will be presented to the public for the first time.

This exhibition represents another achievement for our Asian Art curatorial team. Maribeth Graybill, Ph.D., The Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Curator of Asian Art, is to be commended for her inspired leadership. Working closely and in partnership with Mary and Cheney Cowles, Dr. Graybill has once again created something very special for the Museum and our community by bringing world-class works of art to our city. Jeannie Kenmotsu, Ph.D., Japan Foundation Assistant Curator of Japanese Art, and Sangah Kim, Cowles Curatorial Fellow in Asian Art, have provided invaluable assistance to Dr. Graybill, furthering the impact of the Asian Art department in deep and meaningful ways. I am grateful, too, to Jan Quivey, Council Coordinator, who has provided important support not only to this exhibition, but to our art councils as well.

As we complete our celebration of the Portland Art Museum’s 125th year, I am continually reminded of the loving dedication that has built this institution and its collections. It is the force that drives our effort to transform our Museum to meet the needs of our 21st-century audiences and community through the planned Rothko Pavilion. In these pages, you’ll read an update on the building design and our progress toward fulfilling the Museum’s vision of providing a welcoming and beautiful space to experience art for everyone that enters or passes through. But we never forget that it is the people of our community—artists, collectors, members, supporters, curators, staff, and more—who are the Museum’s true foundation and our reason for doing this work. Thank you again for being part of it.

POETIC IMAGINATION IN JAPANESE ART Selections from the Collection of Mary and Cheney Cowles OCTOBER 13, 2018 – JANUARY 13, 2019

The Portland Art Museum is honored to present the world premiere of Japanese art from the collection of Mary and Cheney Cowles. Formed over the past four decades, the collection is exceptional in its quality and breadth, and unique in that it is deeply informed by classical Japanese taste as well as welcoming of idiosyncratic departures from the canon.

This exhibition of more than 100 paintings and works of calligraphy focuses on one of the great strengths of the Cowles’ holdings: visual art closely tied to poetic traditions. Poetry, painting, and calligraphy have always been indivisible in East Asia, but in Japan the nature and meaning of those relationships have changed over time, responding to larger cultural changes. The artworks in this exhibition, spanning the eighth to 20th centuries, illuminate the central role of poetry in the visual arts across time and in diverse social contexts.

Waka and the Courtly Tradition: The native tradition of courtly arts, rooted in Japanese waka poetry and the classical culture of the ninth through 12th centuries, is expressed 4 PORTLAND ART MUSEUM

visually through elegant calligraphies and imaginary portraits of poets. Often created by aspiring poets, these works are imbued with the artist’s respect for great poets of the past and the desire to emulate their accomplishments.

Ink Painting and the Zen Milieu: Zen, a sect of Buddhism that originated in China, flourished

in medieval Japan under the patronage of the warrior class. In the monasteries of Kyoto, monks and their patrons alike studied not only religious texts but also a broad curriculum of Chinese history and literature. Monochrome ink painting, frequently based on Chinese poetic themes and uniquely suited to the Zen

worldview, was initially taken up by monks and later adopted by professional painters.

Literati Culture: During the 18th and 19th centuries, a new wave of Chinese culture impacted Japan as many intellectuals turned to Neo-Confucian philosophy. Painting and poetry by scholar-amateurs of the Ming period (1368–1644) became, ironically, a powerful form of self-expression and group identity for low-ranking samurai scholars. In their romantic landscapes, we are invited to join the painterpoets in mountain retreats, ready to compose verses together.

Modern Innovations: For many 20th-century artists in Japan, the great challenge was the question of how to create a modern idiom that was not overwhelmed by Western influence.

Was tradition a hindrance, or a reservoir to be mined? The calligraphers and painters in the exhibition found ways to transform traditional techniques and media to create intensely personal styles. Their emotional investment imparts a lyrical quality to their work.

Organized by the Portland Art Museum.

“While those deeply familiar with Japanese culture will appreciate the literary allusions in these works, all visitors will be able to savor their evocative beauty,” says curator Maribeth Graybill, The Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Curator of Asian Art. “This is an exhibition that invites contemplative looking and emotional response. We hope that viewers will be inspired to compose their own verses about what they see and feel.”

On three weekends during the exhibition (see page 28), visitors of all ages are invited to find poetic inspiration by delving into some of the themes and creative processes represented in the exhibition. Other public programs include an Evening for Educators, exhibition tours, an opening lecture by curator Maribeth Graybill, and a symposium and scholars’ day in early December 2018. A fully illustrated catalogue presenting new research by an international team of distinguished scholars will be published in 2019.

MODERN AMERICAN REALISM Highlights from the Smithsonian’s Sara Roby Foundation Collection OCTOBER 20, 2018 – APRIL 28, 2019

A selection of treasured artworks from the permanent collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Modern American Realism encompasses the range of what can broadly be called modern realism—from sociopolitical to psychological, from satirical to surrealist. Drawn from works collected by the Sara Roby Foundation, the exhibition includes 44 paintings and sculptures from the 1910s to 1980s by Will Barnet, Isabel Bishop, Paul Cadmus, Arthur Dove, Edward Hopper, Wolf Kahn, Yasuo Kuniyoshi, Jacob Lawrence, Reginald Marsh, and Honoré Sharrer, among others.

“action painting.” Yet, she was unwilling to be constrained by her own collecting criteria.

In addition to obtaining masterpieces by Edward Hopper, Paul Cadmus, and their contemporaries, the Foundation showed cultural range by purchasing key works by Stuart Davis and Louise Nevelson, and regional breadth by collecting works by Mark Tobey and Morris Graves, both preeminent Northwest Artists.

Modern American Realism is presented on the Museum’s second floor adjacent to the American Galleries, offering opportunities for visitors not only to appreciate important American artists such as Hopper whose work is rarely seen in this city, but also to attain a deeper appreciation of the creative heritage their work drew upon and carried forward.

Modern American Realism: Highlights from the Smithsonian’s Sara Roby Foundation Collection was organized by the Smithsonian American Art Museum (SAAM) with generous support from the Sara Roby Foundation and Shawn Menashe.

The C.F. Foundation in Atlanta supports SAAM’s traveling exhibition program, Treasures to Go.

Sara Roby (1907-1986) believed that the most effective way to encourage the visual arts in the United States was to acquire the works of living artists and exhibit them to the public. The Sara Roby Foundation began collecting American art in the mid-1950s, and during the next 30 years assembled a premier group of paintings and sculpture by the country’s leading figurative artists.

The resulting collection captures both the optimism and the apprehension of the years following World War II. Many of the works are poignantly human, such as Dowager in a Wheelchair (1952) by Philip Evergood, while others, by artists such as Robert Vickrey, challenge us to decipher meanings imbedded in complex, sometimes enigmatic scenes.

Sara Roby refused to be bound by current trends when she began collecting in the 1950s.

She championed realism at a time when critics celebrated abstract expressionism and

camps at Chelmno and Auschwitz. With the hope of preserving a historical record, Ross buried more than 6,000 of his negatives in 1944. When he returned for them after Lodz’s liberation, Ross found that more than half of the negatives had survived, and he spent the rest of his life sharing the images. Some 125 of these photographs are included in Memory Unearthed, a visual and emotional meditation on a harrowing moment in history that demonstrates the power of the photograph.

“I buried my negatives in the ground in order that there should be some record of our tragedy.”

MEMORY UNEARTHED: The Lodz Ghetto Photographs of Henryk Ross

THE LAST JOURNEY OF THE JEWS OF LODZ

OCTOBER 27, 2018 – FEBRUARY 24, 2019

OREGON JEWISH MUSEUM AND CENTER

PORTLAND ART MUSEUM

Together, Memory Unearthed at the Portland Art Museum and The Last Journey of the Jews of Lodz at the Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education (OJMCHE) will offer an extraordinarily rare glimpse of life inside the Lodz Ghetto through the lens of Polish Jewish photojournalist Henryk Ross (1910–1991). Situated in the heart of Poland, the city of Lodz was occupied by German forces in 1939. The Nazis consolidated the area’s Jewish population—more than 160,000 people—into a poor industrial section of the city, sealing it off from the outside world and making the Lodz Ghetto second in size only to the Warsaw Ghetto in German-occupied Europe. More than 200,000 people were

forcibly relocated and moved through the ghetto during its four years of operation; a quarter of its inhabitants died of starvation and disease, while most were deported to concentration and death camps. Upon liberation by the Red Army in 1945, only 877 Jews remained alive in Lodz Ghetto.

Henryk Ross, confined to the ghetto in 1940, was forced to serve as a bureaucratic photographer, making official photographs for Jewish identification cards and images used as propaganda promoting the ghetto’s efficiency.

At great risk, Ross also documented the brutal realities of life under Nazi rule, culminating in the deportation of tens of thousands to death

The companion exhibition, on view at OJMCHE and free for Museum members, explores Ross’s efforts to design and publish The Last Journey of the Jews of Lodz, a multi-language book about life in the ghetto illustrated with his photographs. The Portland Art Museum and OJMCHE will serve together as the first West Coast venues for this critical body of work.

Organized by the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto, Canada, and presented in partnership with the Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education.

Curated for the Portland Art Museum by Julia Dolan, Ph.D., the Minor White Curator of Photography.

THE SHAPE OF THE LAND Topographical Painting and Maps in Late Joseon Korea JULY 28, 2018 – JANUARY 20, 2019

This special installation in the Museum’s Korean Gallery is inspired by one of the most important Korean works in our collection: a large folding screen depicting a bird’s-eye view of the city of Pyeongyang. The painting is brimming with information about the city—fabled for its architecture, food, and gisaeng dancing girls—and its inhabitants and environs. The Walled City of Pyeongyang is a topographical portrait of a city, a genre that came into vogue in Korea in the 18th century, with the rise of urban culture and mobility. The Shape of the Land presents new research on the 19th-century Pyeongyang screen and places it in the broader context of Korean mapmaking. Although maps of the countryside and towns were originally commissioned by the government

for administrative purposes, by the late Joseon period (1392–1910), hand-painted and printed maps and atlases were widely popular among the general public. Drawing on the collection of Robert and Sandra Mattielli, the exhibition presents fanciful maps of cities, provinces, the Korean peninsula, and the known world. Often highly stylized, these images offer fascinating insights into the values and worldview of Koreans, on the eve of the Hermit Kingdom’s opening to the world.

The Museum is deeply grateful to the Oregon Korea Foundation for donating the Pyeongyang screen in 2003 and for supporting the companion brochure for this exhibit. Our thanks also to Sandra and Robert Mattielli for their generous loans.

Organized by the Portland Art Museum and curated by Sangah Kim, Cowles Curatorial Fellow in Asian Art.

THREE MASTERS OF ABSTRACTION Hagiwara Hideo, Ida Shōichi, and Takahashi Rikio NOVEMBER 3, 2018 – MARCH 24, 2019

This exhibition presents nearly 50 prints by three Japanese artists who rose to international prominence in the decades following World War II. All of them embraced abstraction, that most quintessential of Western modernisms, as a means for expressing fundamentally Japanese themes.

Hagiwara Hideo (1913–2007) combined abstract expression with imaginative approaches to traditional Japanese woodblock techniques to create prints of great visual depth. Winner of multiple international print exhibition prizes, Hagiwara taught printmaking at the University of Oregon in 1967.

Takahashi Rikio (1917–1998) is known for his prints evoking Japanese gardens throughout the seasons, without ever depicting a plant or stone. Working almost exclusively in woodblock, he created images that convey stillness, balance, and a sense of timelessness.

Ida Shōichi (1941–2006) took abstraction to radically new levels. For him, the techniques of silkscreen, lithography, etching, and traditional woodblock printing were not instruments for creating images, but forces that act upon or emerge from the paper. In his reverence for the potential inherent in the materials, Ida harks back to aesthetic values of the Japanese tea ceremony and Mingei movement.

This exhibition draws upon prints in the Museum’s collection and from the Lavenberg Collection of Japanese Prints.

aesthetics and see his art as a hopeful vision that offers consequential pathways for black and brown identity and destiny.

Sun Ra and his collaborators left a comprehensive archive including 130 albums, countless books and broadsheets of poetry, posters, paintings, photographs, and costumes.

The exhibition borrows significant items from the archive at the University of Chicago and from private collections.

MONUMENTS. OCTOBER 27, 2018 – JANUARY 27, 2019

In the final project of the yearlong series We.Construct.Marvels.Between.Monuments., artistic director Libby Werbel partners with Deep Underground (Bethlehem Daniel, Madenna Ibrahim, Mia O’Connor-Smith, and Janessa Narciso) to present MONUMENTS., a multimedia presentation of film, music, and art by Afrofuturist artist, musician, and philosopher Sun Ra (active 1934-1993). As the critical conversation develops around the removal of public monuments across the American landscape—especially those upholding Confederate ideology—we ask ourselves: what are the new monuments we wish to build? Who are the artists, thinkers, and heroes we wish to exalt and preserve for future generations? MONUMENTS. pays tribute to Sun Ra as one of these visionary figures.

Sun Ra, born Herman Poole Blount in 1914, was a jazz composer, musician, bandleader, and poet who became known for his theatrical

performances and a philosophy steeped in biography, history, and mythology. His adopted name refers to the Egyptian sun god, Ra, and his origin story proclaims he had come to earth from Saturn on a mission to preach peace.

Sun Ra is a pioneer of Afrofuturism, a crossdisciplinary art that combines science fiction, technology, and fantasy with cultures and cosmologies of the African diaspora. From the mid-1950s on, he led the musical collective The Arkestra; their performances often included dancers and musicians dressed in elaborate costumes inspired by ancient Egyptian attire and the Space Age. The exhibition and accompanying performances highlight Sun Ra’s idea of an “alter destiny”—a utopian belief that a more meaningful and just world awaits humanity in Outer Space. To Sun Ra, Outer Space was not an escapist fantasy, rather, it was a place where society, culture, and beliefs are reimagined to give power to the oppressed. Sun Ra’s message still resonates with many people, including organizations like Deep Underground (DUG), who have embraced his philosophy and

DUG is a collective of arts organizers focused on developing strength, healing, and resilience among young people of color. Formed in 2015, its aim is to help its community channel discontent through artistic outlets, carving out intentional space for black and brown people to feel safe, present, and free to be creative.

Since the Collective’s formation, DUG has gone on to throw large-scale events, in-depth youth programming, film screenings, concerts, and multimedia performances. The collective recently addressed Portland City Hall in hopes of providing a proper lens to understand the needs of black and brown artist communities and the issues they are facing. Their foundation is rooted in much of the same work Sun Ra was doing over 50 years ago; it is in that spirit the group has been invited to lend its perspective and curatorial vision to the representation of this Afro-cosmic hero.

NOT FRAGILE CENTER FOR CONTEMPORARY NATIVE ART SEPTEMBER 1, 2018 – JUNE 9, 2019

Though often associated with delicacy, glass is forged through intense and violent forces—a meteorite impacting the earth, a nuclear bomb detonating, or a 2,000 °F crucible. Not Fragile features artists from across the Pacific Northwest who use glass in innovative ways to impart messages of strength, resilience, and insubordination. In this exhibition, artists underscore the power of traditional iconography, craft bold social statements, and reflect the beauty, vulnerability, and transformative power of glass.

Works in the exhibition include Lummi Lightning Bear (2018) by Dan Friday (Lummi), who has cultivated his artistic vision with strong influence from his indigenous roots in the Pacific Northwest. The bear has been an important spirit to his family, from his greatgrandfather’s totems to his father’s drum.

Through works like this, Friday embraces the large color palette glass has to offer.

earlier depictions of the land like mountain or snake designs with the new marks left on earth. Feddersen (Okanogan/Arrow Lakes) is known for creating artworks strong in geometric patterns reflective of what is seen in the environment and his Native American heritage.

Artist curator RYAN! Feddersen (Okanogan/ Arrow Lakes) is a Tacoma-based mixed-media installation artist who specializes in interactive and immersive artworks that invite audience engagement around history, culture, and social issues. Cultivating relationships with the contemporary indigenous art world has been a defining way that Feddersen connects with her cultural heritage. She is drawn to curation to support the thriving indigenous arts movement.

Feddersen is a 2018 National Fellow in Visual Arts with the Native Arts and Cultures Foundation.

THE MAP IS NOT THE TERRITORY FEBRUARY 9 – MAY 5, 2019

The map is not the territory brings a new perspective to the art of the Northwest region, offering a reconsidered format to the biennial, previously known as the Contemporary Northwest Art Awards. The series will feature regional artists through new and different perspectives in an effort to reconceive and reimagine the Northwest and consider diverse possibilities when thinking about place and boundaries.

The exhibition title derives from an influential remark by philosopher Alfred Korzybski, expressing the essential distinction between an object and its representation—or, more broadly, between our beliefs and the underlying reality. The exhibition is a generative conversation about our connections to the land, efforts toward decolonization, and bringing indigenous values to the forefront, as well as a celebration of the region’s kinship. The artists in the exhibition include Annette Bellamy, Fernanda D’Agostino, Jenny Irene Miller, Mary Ann Peters, Ryan Pierce, Rob Rhee, Henry Tsang, and Charlene Vickers.

The map is not the territory is the first exhibition in a new triennial series, which includes Alaska and Vancouver, B.C., as part of the Museum’s Northwest Art program for the first time. This inaugural exhibition focuses on the eastern edge of the Pacific including Oregon; Washington; Vancouver, B.C.; and Alaska, as a connecting geographical site bound by economic possessions defined by the Pacific Rim. The next exhibition in the series will examine the interior regions of Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, and the eastern parts of Oregon and Washington.

Organized by Grace Kook-Anderson, The Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Curator of Northwest Art in collaboration with the Museum’s education department. Funding is provided in part by The Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Endowments for Northwest Art.

Travel back to Paris at the dawn of the 20th century and experience the splendor of the sparkling French capital as it hosted the world for the International Exposition of 1900. This was the height of the Belle Époque, a period of peace and prosperity in France when fine art, fashion, and entertainment flourished as never before. Fifty-one million visitors from around the world attended the Exposition and flooded the city, where they enjoyed its posh restaurants, opulent opera house, artistic cabarets, and well-tended parks. For the French, it was an opportunity to show off their prowess in the arts, sciences, and new technology, and to highlight what made Paris unique from rivals London and Berlin.

Paris 1900 re-creates the look and feel of the era through more than 250 paintings, decorative art objects, textiles, posters, photographs, jewelry, sculpture, and film, and will plunge visitors into the atmosphere of La Belle Époque.

NEWS & NOTEWORTHY

MUSEUM EXPANSION AND RENOVATION PROJECT DESIGN EVOLVES TO ENHANCE ART, PUBLIC SPACE, AND ACCESSIBILITY The Rothko Pavilion and related renovation campaign continues to develop with the latest design direction unveiled in August at a joint meeting of the Portland Historic Landmarks Commission and the Design Commission. The Museum has spent the past several months revisiting the initial 2015 concept with the staff, board, and the Museum’s Accessibility Advisory Task Force, as well as listening to a number of community members and Portland city officials.

As a result, the original design has evolved in a way that not only offers enhanced circulation, improved art and public spaces, and amenities within and around the Museum, but also one that complements the urban landscape.

The latest design concept recognizes that an open passageway and new entry structure between the Museum’s two buildings will further integrate the Museum campus into the fabric of the neighborhood and the city.

The new design fulfills the Museum’s vision of providing a welcoming and beautiful space to experience art for everyone enters or passes through. The design advances the goals of expanded and enhanced art and public spaces while increasing accessibility throughout the museum. This will be achieved by adding 14 PORTLAND ART MUSEUM

new elevators, restrooms, and above-grade connections between the Main and Mark Buildings, all of which further the physical and intellectual connections between the Museum’s collections and programs.

“The design will continue to be refined and articulated, but we are inspired by the latest iteration, which we believe better invites the public to engage in art and creates a campus that is assimilated more fully within our downtown neighborhood,” said Museum Director Brian Ferriso.

The design team responsible for the new concept includes Vinci Hamp Architects, the Chicago-based firm that originated the project in 2015, and Portland-based firm Hennebery Eddy Architects, an architecture, planning, and interior design studio with a specialty focus in historic resources. Hennebery Eddy’s past projects include the Pietro Belluschi-designed Reserve building in downtown Portland, Yellowstone National Park Youth Campus, and Oregon State’s Strand Agriculture Hall.

The Museum recently completed the project team with the announcement of Mortenson Construction, landscape architects Walker

Macy in partnership with Andrea Cochran Landscape Architecture, and Urban Resources Inc. construction management. Mortenson has a deep history in the arts and culture community with its construction of hundreds of projects around the country, including the Walt Disney Concert Hall, the Denver Art Museum, and the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. Walker Macy is a Portland-based landscape architecture, urban design, and planning firm whose experience includes the Japanese Garden expansion, the Oregon Coast Aquarium, the Seattle Asian Art Museum, and Pioneer Courthouse Square, among many others. Consulting with Walker Macy is Andrea Cochran Landscape Architecture, the firm that first designed the Museum’s outdoor sculpture mall in 1995. Urban Resources Inc. is a Portland construction management firm with experience in cultural, civic, and higher-education projects, including the Japanese Garden expansion, the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center, and the Crocker Art Museum expansion in Sacramento.

To date, donors have commited nearly $33 million for the capital project, including a recent $1 million gift from Joanne Lilley.

(list as of June 13, 2018)

The Museum is pleased to announce John Goodwin as the new Major Gifts Officer.

Goodwin joins the senior leadership team and takes on a role pivotal to the future of the Museum and region’s arts community.

In his new role, Goodwin will help spearhead fundraising for the Rothko Pavilion and associated renovations designed to make the 126-year-old museum more accessible to the public. To date, donors have contributed nearly $33 million for the capital project.

“As a supporter of the Museum and their expansion project, I know that John will bring that same community-building, peopleoriented ethic to his new role.”

Shortly after moving to Portland in 1994, Goodwin became a volunteer docent at the Museum before joining its Board of Trustees in 2015. He also serves on the board of the Oregon Cultural Trust and is a former board member for Disjecta.

“John Goodwin is a remarkable leader in our city and state,” said Portland Art Museum Director Brian Ferriso. “His deep knowledge of art and its role to educate and inspire is an extraordinary attribute. As a docent, member and a trustee, John has already made significant contributions to this institution. I am thrilled that he will now partner with my team and me on a daily basis to realize our exciting vision for the future.”

At the Museum, Goodwin will join a strong Development group under the leadership of Karie Burch, who became Director of Development in March. To support the Rothko Pavilion project and the Museum’s mission, the team is strengthening connections with individuals and organizations who share the Museum’s community focus.

Goodwin is ideally suited for the role. He comes to the Museum after spending six years with the Portland Trail Blazers as the Director, Premium Experience. His previous employment includes the University Club of Portland and the Benson Hotel. Goodwin has also served as an Associate Director of the Center Art Gallery in Honolulu, Hawaii.

“John Goodwin will be a fantastic addition to the Portland Art Museum. PAM and the Portland Trail Blazers are wonderful examples of great city organizations that embody community spirit and embrace equity and inclusion,” said Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler.

Goodwin calls his own art collection “eclectic,” adding that he and his partner, Michael-Jay Robinson, are drawn to art about or by African Americans. They loaned The Crazy Conductor, a chalkboard painting by Gary Simmons, for exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, and Goodwin selected and discussed works from their collection for The Soul of Black Art: A Collector’s View, a 2016 exhibition at Upfor Gallery.

Goodwin describes the Museum as a natural next step for him and his career. “There’s no comparison to being in the Moda Center with 20,000 excited fans, but the Portland Art Museum is also a very special place to me,” Goodwin said. “Although I will miss my good friends I met through the Blazers, I’m dedicated to making sure people of all colors, ages, and backgrounds feel welcome and inspired, and come to enjoy the museum as much as I do.”

LOCAL TEACHERS GAIN HANDS-ON LEADERSHIP SKILLS This summer, the Museum welcomed two local educators as part of the inaugural Summer Teacher Leadership Fellows program. The program is a central part of the Museum’s Teacher Leadership Initiative, which develops and fosters an intentional learning community of K-12 teachers. The program allowed the Education Department to invite two K-12 teachers to be in residence at the Museum for one-month, full-time, paid positions.

Teacher Leadership Fellows have the opportunity to get to know the Museum, explore its collections and resources, and make connections to their own teaching practices.

Fellows collaborate with Museum staff on planning programs and creating resources

to serve the needs of students and teachers across school communities. Inspiring teachers to become leaders within the Museum and their own schools, this initiative further supports the Museum’s efforts to integrate the arts into classroom teaching.

This new fellowship program, as well as the broader Teacher Leadership Initiative, were launched this year with generous support from the Oregon Community Foundation.

Franky Stebbins and Jessica Orellana were selected from more than 30 applicants to take part in the first year of this immersive program.

Stebbins teaches Social Studies and English for Speakers of Other Languages at H.B. Lee

Middle School in the Reynolds School District.

Orellana is a World Languages teacher at Rex Putnam High School in the North Clackamas School District, where she leads the Spanish Immersion program. Both teachers appreciate the way their students respond to visual art.

Many of Stebbins’ students are newcomers to the United States. “Art objects often serve as universal tools for teaching and understanding, she observes. It is my belief that many populations, in particular my students, can access and interpret art in more profound ways than written text.”

The fellows studied works currently on view in the galleries and conducted research through Online Collections and in the Crumpacker Family Library. With the assistance of Curators Mary Weaver Chapin and Julia Dolan and Associate Registrar Anne Crouchley, Orellana

and Stebbins arranged special viewings of prints and photographs in the Haber Study Room. Orellana chose to focus her work on Mesoamerican objects, in particular those with a Mayan and Nahuatl influence. “As a Spanish teacher, I am always looking for ways to bring the culture from Latin America into the classroom,” she said.

During their time at the Museum, the fellows also participated and assisted in a number of Education Department programs. They made prints and zines with students in Portland State University’s Middle East Partnership Initiative program in a workshop led by Sabina Haque. They designed and facilitated a bilingual program in the Native American and Mesoamerican galleries for 65 girls in the Adelante Mujeres Chicas Summer Camp.

“Jessica and Franky fully embraced their opportunities as Summer Teacher Leadership Fellows,” said Hana Layson, Ph.D., Manager of School and Educator Programs. “They dove into the collections, generating connections between their research and teaching. And they worked collaboratively, brainstorming lessons with each other, reaching out to staff, and becoming part of the Museum community. We

have all benefitted from their presence here.”

Stebbins and Orellana will go on to join the 24-member Teacher Advisory Council this fall and share their learning with the wider community of educators engaged with the Museum.

Summer Teacher Leadership Fellows program, which impacts teachers and students from all grade levels and disciplines across our school communities.

NORTHWEST FILM CENTER DIRECTOR BILL FOSTER RETIRES After nearly four decades at the helm of the Northwest Film Center, Bill Foster retired in August. During his tenure, the Film Center became the region’s premier media arts institution and continues to be nationally recognized as a model for film arts exhibition, education, and artist service organizations.

Foster guided a diverse range of cinema showcases, including annual events such as the Portland International Film Festival, Northwest Filmmakers’ Festival, Portland Jewish Film Festival, and Reel Music, while overseeing diverse year-round exhibition programs, classes, and filmmaker service programs that serve 75,000 people annually. In addition to the Center’s hallmark festivals and series, thematic programming related to Museum exhibitions and education programs has served to further

connect audiences and underscore the relationship between art and film.

“Working with the many, many people who have shared enthusiasm for the Film Center’s mission and programs over the years has been such an incredible experience,” said Foster.

“Helping make the Center thrive and meeting and showing the work of filmmakers from throughout the world has been an extraordinary honor, one with the added pleasures of personal enrichment and friendships, and reward in being a part of building a community which celebrates independent artistic voices. I leave knowing that the amazing Film Center staff, wonderful community partners and supporters, and Museum and board are committed to the Center’s vibrancy for the generations to come,” said Foster.

Founded in 1971 with the mission of building a flourishing media arts community, the Center became part of the Portland Art Association in 1979, joining the Portland Art Museum as an institution dedicated to engaging diverse communities through art and film of enduring quality.

“Bill’s impact on the film community in our region has been significant. Under his leadership, the Film Center’s mission and programs have enriched Portland’s cultural life and furthered the Museum’s goals of artistic excellence, community engagement, and dedication to bringing artist and audience together for discovery and celebration,” said Portland Art Museum Director Brian Ferriso.

NORTHWEST FILM CENTER

PACIFIC NW PERSPECTIVES CONVERGE AT THE 45TH NORTHWEST FILMMAKERS’ FESTIVAL The Film Center has been celebrating Pacific Northwest filmmakers for 45 years. At the center of its Northwest programming is the annual Northwest Filmmakers’ Festival, which screens films made in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Alaska, and British Columbia. As part of the 45th Festival (October 31–November 4), Northwest Film Center brings a Northwest Survey to the Whitsell Auditorium. Guest curators from around the Pacific Northwest will present short film programs from their respective state or province. There will also be a panel on what it means to be a filmmaker and make film in each section of our region. For a detailed schedule of the festival, visit nwfilm.org.

How does the filmmaking community in your state contribute to our region?

ALASKA

Director Megan Griffiths (Sadie, Lucky Them, Eden) once coined the term “crewtopia” to describe the close-knit, supportive vibe among independent filmmakers who are constantly helping each other out and working on each other’s projects for the love of the art (and each other)…. Such a cultural atmosphere is critical for generative, creative, sustainable art-making!

Alaska is story-rich. We’re a state full of strange tales and unthinkable adventures. The long, dark winters are conducive to editing and creative pursuits, while the long summer days illuminate some of the most scenic lands in the world.

PROGRAMMING BRITISH COLUMBIA

As the lone Canadian entry in the Northwest Survey, I suspect that the British Columbia films will offer slightly different sensibilities and perspectives. That said, a number of the emerging filmmakers from this province have been influenced by international cinema from a formative age and have proven themselves politically and culturally engaged.

OREGON

IDAHO

Right now in Oregon, people of color, women, nonbinary, and queer filmmakers are making a conscious effort to hire, recommend, and promote one another for TV and film productions. They are also forming coalitions to facilitate collaboration and creative community.

These voices, underrepresented in the film history of Oregon, are enhancing the quality of filmmaking in the region, and are contributing fascinating stories that rarely have been told.

Idaho’s filmmaking community is small but mighty. Our state’s dramatic landscapes, unique history, and overall unfamiliarity for most audiences means we have a perspective that is new for most people (viewers or filmmakers).

You can tell stories in Idaho that can be told nowhere else.

OF MONTANA SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM & INDEPENDENT FILMMAKER MONTANA

There is a particular flavor that is the Montana media community—it is real and tough and connected to place. Montana is vast and epic in scope and lifestyle; our film community captures that essence and frames the experience through its stories—both narrative and documentary.

THREE EASY STEPS TO LEAVE A LEGACY Leaving a legacy at the Portland Art Museum, no matter the size of the gift, is easier than it may seem.

While large estate gifts are often the ones that make headlines, they are actually anomalies.

Most of the estate gifts that support the Museum are modest in size and often consist of resources that are readily available to most people.

One of the easiest ways to make an impact on the Museum’s mission is to designate the Museum as a beneficiary of an asset, such as a retirement plan account, life insurance policy or bank account. These gifts cost nothing now; you retain complete control over the assets during your lifetime and can spend the money as you wish. By naming the Museum as the beneficiary, you simply allow for any leftover funds, or a portion of those funds, to transfer to us after your lifetime.

26 PORTLAND ART MUSEUM

These are gifts you can easily set up yourself.

Here are three quick and easy steps you can take today: • Call the administrator of your retirement plan, bank account or insurance policy and request a change-of-beneficiary form.

• Fill out the form and return it to the administrator.

• Notify the Museum about your generosity! It would be an honor to thank you for your gift.

Bring in the Professionals If you have a will and previously worked with an estate planning attorney, it’s a good idea to include that person in your planning process when designating or updating your beneficiaries. Your attorney can make sure that as you add or adjust pieces to your estate plan, it remains cohesive and logical for your current circumstances.

Please contact Karie Burch at karie.burch@pam.org or visit portlandartmuseum.org/plannedgiving for more information about including the Portland Art Museum in your estate plans.

OCTOBER 14, 2 P.M.

Drawing on the works in Poetic Imagination in Japanese Art, exhibition curator Maribeth Graybill explores the many ways poetry has taken visual form in Japan, from the eighth century to the present. When calligraphy is a quotation of a particular verse, how does the brushwork impact our response to the text?

Why is imaginary poet portraiture an important genre in Japan? And how do landscape paintings reflect poetic traditions—and invite our poetic response?

Named in honor of the founder of the Asian Art Council, the Mildred Schnitzer Annual Asian Art Lecture will celebrate its 20th anniversary with a symposium focused on the historical, literary, and artistic themes presented in the special exhibition, Poetic Imagination in Japanese Art: Selections from the Collection of Mary and Cheney Cowles. An international team of scholars who contributed to the exhibition catalogue will be on hand to discuss their areas of expertise.

Tickets for Portland Art Museum members are $10 and include both days. See the Museum website for further details and information on symposium registration.

Chasing Portraits

NOVEMBER 13 & NOVEMBER 14, 7 P.M.

NOVEMBER 27, 7 P.M.

Performances will be held at The Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education

Screening will be held at the Portland Art Museum

The White Elephant Archive, Setting No. 3 explores the legacy of the Holocaust from the perspective of the third generation living in Austria today. In this intensely personal, one-man production, Eduard Freudmann uses his family’s archive—which includes poems written by his grandfather while imprisoned in concentration camps—to explore his family’s silence about the Holocaust, and his own attempt to understand the burden of this legacy through art. Reflecting on the politics of Holocaust commemoration in Austria, and larger questions about how to speak of a horror once its witnesses are gone or silent, this production provides a rare and important glimpse into the experience of the third generation living in Europe, and the impact of trauma across generations. This performance is made possible by the Future Fund of the Republic of Austria and Federal Chancellery of Austria and is a partnership with the Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education.

Chasing Portraits documents Elizabeth Rynecki’s quest to find the paintings by her great-grandfather lost during the Holocaust.

Moshe Rynecki’s body of work reached close to 800 paintings and sculptures before his life came to a tragic end. Decades later, his greatgranddaughter Elizabeth sought to rediscover his legacy, setting out on a journey to find what had been lost but never forgotten. A Q&A with filmmaker Elizabeth Rynecki will follow the screening.
