Portal is a publication of the Portland Art Museum. A one-year subscription is included with Museum membership. Editorial inquiries should be addressed to: Portland Art Museum, Attn: Portal, 1219 SW Park Avenue, Portland, OR 97205-2430. Please call in address changes to Membership Services, 503-276-4249. For general information call 503-226-2811. The mission of the Portland Art Museum is to engage diverse communities through art and film of enduring quality, and to collect, preserve, and educate for the enrichment of present and future generations. The Portland Art Museum recognizes and honors the Indigenous peoples of this region on whose ancestral lands the museum now stands. These include the Willamette Tumwater, Clackamas, Kathlemet, Molalla, Multnomah and Watlala Chinook Peoples and the Tualatin Kalapuya who today are part of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, and many other Native communities who made their homes along the Columbia River. We also want to recognize that Portland today is a community of many diverse Native peoples who continue to live and work here. We respectfully acknowledge and honor all Indigenous communities—past, present, future—and are grateful for their ongoing and vibrant presence.

FROM THE DIRECTOR Welcome to the Fall edition of Portal. I am thrilled that we are able to share this magazine with you, our most loyal members. Thank you again for your ongoing belief in our Museum and Film Center, demonstrated by your unwavering support during this crisis. Because of your generosity, the Museum has been able not only to survive during this challenging time, but to move forward in presenting major exhibitions and important programs that had been planned before the pandemic—in particular, a pair of magnificent special exhibitions opening in October. Queen Nefertari’s Egypt, a beautiful exploration of a culture and time over 3,000 years ago, is an immersive experience of nearly 230 objects from the world-renowned Museo Egizio of Turin, Italy. The exhibition not only sheds light on the favored wife of Ramesses II—who called her “the one for whom the sun shines”—but also explores the Valley of the Queens, a site in Egypt where the wives of pharaohs were buried, and the many aspects of daily life of this time and place that continues to intrigue. Private Lives: Home and Family in the Art of the Nabis, Paris, 1889-1900 is a critically acclaimed exhibition organized and co-curated with profound scholarship and insight by Mary Weaver Chapin, the Museum’s Curator of Prints and Drawings. It presents major new acquisitions and loans from throughout the U.S. and Europe by the Nabis, a significant although not readily known group of postImpressionist artists who focused their vision inward into their domestic lives as a means to expressing their emotions and thoughts through their art. Though long planned, the many-faceted views of home life in Private Lives resonate even more deeply in this extended time of careful separation. Elsewhere in the Museum, Mesh continues our exploration of important contemporary Native artists who are challenging us to think more expansively and critically about the past and to see a future that celebrates the richness of Native American culture. APEX: Sharita Towne and A Black Art Ecology of Portland is a revelatory view into the work of artists and community organizations that, together with an adjacent community gallery expanding our robust partnership with The Numberz FM, broadens our appreciation and understanding of Black creative life in Portland and beyond. This diverse group of exhibitions showcases how art can help us not only fortify ourselves and our connections in this time, but strengthen our community’s creative vision as we rebuild for the future. Although the pandemic and the related Museum shutdowns have been a significant setback in all areas of our operations, there remains a powerful resilience among our staff and Board of Trustees to fulfill our mission and connect in more meaningful and deeper ways with our community. In particular, the logistics surrounding all of these exhibitions have been extremely complex and challenging, and I am so proud that we are able to realize our plans, thanks in large part to the tireless efforts of many who work behind the scenes, including our installation team, led by Matthew Juniper, and the collections and exhibitions team, led by Donald Urquhart and Julia Guariglia. A big thank you to them for their exceptional work. I very much hope you are able to visit and participate in all of these offerings as they continue to reinforce the power of art to connect us to our shared humanity.

EXHIBITIONS & INSTALLATIONS
QUEEN NEFERTARI’S EGYPT OCTOBER 16, 2021 – JANUARY 16, 2022
Discover the world of Queen Nefertari, the Great Royal Wife of Pharaoh Ramesses II. Drawn from the world-renowned Museo Egizio in Turin, Italy, the exhibition immerses visitors in the magnificent palaces and tombs of ancient Egypt, including Queen Nefertari’s burial chamber. Queen Nefertari’s Egypt celebrates the role of women—goddesses, queens, and commoners—and offers glimpses into both royal life and the everyday life of artisans through more than 220 works of art. One of the most celebrated queens of ancient Egypt, Queen Nefertari was the favored wife of Ramesses II, who called her “The One for Whom the Sun Shines.” A colossal temple was built in her honor at Abu Simbel, and her tomb in the Valley of the Queens, rediscovered by Italian archaeologist Ernesto Schiaparelli in 1904, is known for its vivid artistry. Sometimes called “the Sistine Chapel of Egypt,” Nefertari’s tomb is the most richly decorated in the Valley of the Queens, with brilliantly painted scenes featuring gods and winged goddesses, animals, insects, and hieroglyphs illustrating the intricate process of passing through the underworld to eternal life.
6 PORTLAND ART MUSEUM
Visitors to the exhibition will view personal objects from Nefertari’s tomb, plus an array of objects from royal and day-to-day life in Egypt during the 19th Dynasty of the New Kingdom (1292–1189 BCE)—majestic sculptures, intricately painted sarcophagi, jewelry, and perfume and cosmetics jars. The exhibition includes fragments of Nefertari’s massive pink granite sarcophagus lid, wooden shabtis (small figures who could perform manual labor in the afterlife), a beautiful gold-and-faience amulet in the shape of a djed-pillar (a symbol of stability) and a pair of woven palm-leaf sandals fitting a U.S. women’s size 9. Archaeological records show that Nefertari was highly regarded and educated. Unlike other women of her status, she could read and write hieroglyphs, and using these skills, she aided the pharaoh in his diplomatic work. While ancient Egyptian society was rigidly stratified by class, women were active participants in all spheres, from the fields and the courtroom to temples and palaces. Queen Nefertari’s Egypt explores women’s roles in religion, life in the women’s royal household, and their beauty and adornment rituals. Musical instruments, bronze mirrors, boxes and jars for cosmetic powders and ointments, and precious jewelry offer a

glimpse of women’s life and notions of beautification. Visitors also will discover the village Deir el-Medina, where artisans lived and worked, creating elaborate tombs and necessary materials for the afterlife. Queen Nefertari’s Egypt includes household items, tools such as brushes and draftsmen’s sticks, pickaxes and chisels, ostraca (limestone or pottery sketchpads of ancient Egyptian scribes and artists), and funerary votive statues that provide a sense of the way people lived, worked, and practiced religion more than 3,000 years ago. “Art has a power to connect us to and deepen our understanding of the lives of others, across time and place,” said Brian Ferriso, Director and Chief Curator of the Portland Art Museum. “We are thrilled to bring to Portland this incredible glimpse into the lives of ancient Egyptians through the exquisite artistry in this exhibition.” Queen Nefertari’s Egypt is accompanied by an exhibition catalogue available in the Museum Store. Related programs will provide additional context for the exhibition, including a lecture on Thursday, October 28, titled “When Women Ruled the World,” in which Dr. Kara Cooney, professor of Egyptian Art and Architecture at UCLA, will offer perspective on the root causes of social inequalities that compromised women’s power in the ancient world.
Exhibition under the curatorship of Mr. Christian Greco and organized by StArt, in collaboration with the Museo Egizio, Turin, and the Portland Art Museum. Presented by The Harold & Arlene Schnitzer CARE Foundation/Jordan Schnitzer, with lead support from Exhibition Series Sponsors. Additional support provided by The Clark Foundation, Mr. and Mrs. Roger Burpee, European and American Art Council of the Portland Art Museum, Cathleen and Joe Karcher, Greg and Cathy Tibbles.

When Women Ruled the World KARA COONEY, PH.D.
Professor of Egyptian Art and Architecture and Chair of the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures, UCLA OCTOBER 28, 5:30 P.M.
A woman’s power in the ancient world was always compromised from the outset, and Dr. Kara Cooney addresses the root causes of this social inequality. Given this reality in the ancient world, how did women negotiate their limited leadership roles? How are we to find a woman’s power when it was so habitually cloaked by a man’s dominance? This lecture addresses those questions and asks how much of this ancient reality still touches us today. This lecture is sponsored in part by the European American Art Council of the Portland Art Museum and the Mary Ausplund Tooze Endowed Visiting Professor of Islamic & Ancient Art Fund at Portland State University. This program includes ASL/English interpreting and real-time automated captioning. For additional access requests, please call 503-2764284 or email access@pam.org.

PRIVATE LIVES: Home and Family in the Art of the Nabis, Paris, 1889–1900 OCTOBER 23, 2021 – JANUARY 23, 2022
Private Lives: Home and Family in the Art of the Nabis, Paris, 1889–1900 explores the beautiful, enigmatic, and paradoxical work of Pierre Bonnard, Édouard Vuillard, Maurice Denis, and Félix Vallotton, four members of the Nabi Brotherhood. The Nabis were a group of young artists who were inspired by Paul Gauguin and the growing current of Symbolism in literature and theater. They sought to create an art of suggestion and emotion. Private Lives takes a close look at their paintings, prints, and

drawings of home, family, and children, or what Bonnard referred to as the small pleasures and “modest acts of life.” Throughout their formative years in the 1890s, these four artists were deeply entwined in each other’s lives; Bonnard, Vuillard, and Denis shared a studio, and Swiss-born Vallotton became a close associate of all three and remained a lifelong confidant of Vuillard. Although their styles varied, each returned
repeatedly to the motifs of home life, romantic love, and family. Yet the domestic world was not always what it seemed; suppressed secrets, hidden affairs, and familial tension bubble beneath the surface, challenging the viewer to construct the unspoken narrative of these small but powerful images of interiors, gardens, and the city of Paris. The exhibition, five years in the making, originated with Mary Weaver Chapin, Ph.D., the Museum’s Curator of Prints and Drawings and a noted scholar on 19th-century art. In 2016, inspired by works by the Nabis in private Portland collections, she turned her attention to this group of young artists. “My previous work focused on painterprintmakers such as Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Edgar Degas, artists who were interested in spectacle, nightlife, and display. It was a delight to turn my gaze on the Nabis, who instead examined the interior world of the 1890s,” Dr. Chapin said. The interior refers not only to the locales they depicted, but also to interior states and subjective experience. These artists

Thus, emotion, memory, and perception are all woven into their surfaces. When Dr. Chapin sought a partner institution for this ambitious project, her top choice was the Cleveland Museum of Art. “Cleveland’s holdings complemented our own, and I knew we could produce an excellent show with our two collections as the foundation,” she said. “Just as importantly, I wanted to work with my longtime friend and colleague, Heather Lemonedes Brown, chief curator and deputy director at the CMA.” It is fitting that a show about deep personal connections was curated by two curators who have enjoyed a decadeslong friendship. The partnership was indeed a happy one, both personally and professionally. Adds PAM Director Brian Ferriso, “We are thrilled that Cleveland eagerly agreed to partner with us for this important exhibition and catalogue, which adds new scholarship and a fresh look at these post-Impressionist artists.” Augmenting the collections of Portland and Cleveland are RIGHT: Pierre Bonnard (French, 1867–1947).

About the Catalogue Private Lives is accompanied by a fully illustrated, 278-page catalogue published by the Cleveland Museum of Art and Yale University Press. Available at the Museum Store on site and online, the catalogue features essays by the co-curators and vignettes by leading historians and art historians that offer insight into the private worlds of the Nabis: Francesca Berry of the University of Birmingham (see virtual programs, facing page) interrogates the Nabis and gender roles; Kathleen Kete of Trinity University reveals the importance of pets to private life in 19thcentury France; Saskia Ooms of the Musée de Montmartre describes the role of the camera in the personal world of these artists; and Francesca Brittan of Case Western Reserve University illuminates the centrality of music in constructing the bourgeois family home.
THE INTIMATE INTERIORS OF THE NABIS BY MARY WEAVER CHAPIN, PH.D.
The intimate interiors, gardens, and cityscapes of Pierre Bonnard, Édouard Vuillard, Maurice Denis, and Félix Vallotton are as alluring as they are paradoxical. They offer glimpses of snug family life, but also suggest claustrophobic confinement. They feature the artists’ closest friends and relatives, but these figures are often abstracted or obscured. They revel in the joy of intergenerational gatherings while pointing to the melancholy of fleeting childhood and advancing age. Marital love is exalted, but adulterous passion is also revealed. They explore familiar subjects—home and family—but do so using a strikingly novel formal vocabulary. The resulting works created a Janus-faced intimacy that holds these competing forces in balance, often concealed in what initially
10 PORTLAND ART MUSEUM
appear to be uncomplicated scenes exuding bourgeois comforts. Instead, this body of intimités (intimacies), as they were sometimes known, were new, suggestive, and elusive, forcing the viewer to decipher the composition and the ultimate meaning(s) of a picture. Their power lies in the tension between familiarity and estrangement, in the coexistence of the banal and the sublime, and in the sense that figures are representations of the sitters as well as ciphers of deeper meaning. This aesthetic allowed for great differences, but shared a commonality of engagement with the “daily tragedy and mystery of ordinary existence.” This exhibition offers a framework for understanding the intimate interiors of Bonnard, Denis, Vallotton, and Vuillard and the other side of the coin—intimism and its discontents.

Private Lives: The Intimate Interiors of the Nabis MARY WEAVER CHAPIN, PH.D. NOVEMBER 11, 5:30 P.M.
In this lecture, exhibition curator Mary Weaver Chapin introduces the four Nabi artists featured in Private Lives, delving into their varied and sophisticated use of private domestic life as the locus for artistic inspiration.
Living Together, Working Together: Édouard Vuillard and His Mother FRANCESCA BERRY, PH.D.
“Remember that a painting—before being a warhorse, a nude or some anecdote—is essentially a flat surface covered with colors in a certain order.” —Maurice Denis
“Denis, Vuillard...Vallotton, and I...have been labeled by some as the generation of intimists. This label is valid if it acknowledges these artists’ taste for daily spectacles, their ability to draw emotion from the most modest acts of life.” —Pierre Bonnard
“Why is it that familiar places are where the mind and the sensibility find the greatest degree of genuine novelty? This newness is always necessary to life, to consciousness.” —Édouard Vuillard
“The life I live is literally the opposite of the life I dreamed of. I love seclusion, silence, cultivated thinking and reasoned action—and I have to deal with machinations, foolish talk and vain affectation.” —Félix Vallotton

Senior Lecturer, Department of Art History, Curating and Visual Studies, University of Birmingham, U.K. DECEMBER 5, 2 P.M.
Édouard Vuillard’s mother, Madame Marie Vuillard, was a constant in her son’s life and art. In this lecture, Dr. Francesca Berry foregrounds Madame Vuillard’s role in the practical undertaking of her son’s art, whether as model, technician, advisor, financier, or servant. Together, Vuillard and his mother brought a petit-bourgeois woman’s experience of domesticity into visibility as a complex, alternative motif to the domesticated femininity otherwise favored by the Nabis.

APEX: SHARITA TOWNE AND A BLACK ART ECOLOGY OF PORTLAND ON VIEW THROUGH JULY 2022
A “true grandchild of the Great Migration,” Sharita Towne creates installations that are multi-voiced, poetic, and informative. As a transdisciplinary artist, Towne has built a practice steeped in the work of collaboration, cultural organizing, and arts infrastructure building. Towne’s exhibition for the APEX series is a culmination of this work that takes her to the most recent projects reflected in the city of Portland now. In the course of the yearlong exhibition, Towne will change over some of the work to introduce new community projects in the winter of 2022. The exhibition provides a glimpse into Towne’s burgeoning project “A Black Art Ecology of Portland” (BAEP), an initiative she launched in 2019 to bring together community organizations in support of creating, reclaiming, and redefining spaces for Black art and audiences in Portland. BAEP remaps historical and contemporary Black creative life in Portland and beyond. Activities have included developing co-creative spaces for art, murals, public art activation, video, COVID relief, residencies, DIY publishing, a comedy show, memorials for Black life, and more. Towne’s ongoing research has led the artist into Black geography and assistance in local organizations

that center Black life. Towne’s artistic foundation and vision in working with neighborhoods aligns with Project Row Houses in Houston, Art + Practice in Los Angeles, Dorchester Projects in Chicago, and The Black School in Harlem and New Orleans. The work presented here shows projects within affordable housing, city streets, and art venues, forged through institutional and community collaborations. Addressing the transdisciplinary nature of her work, Towne states, “With BAEP I think of the city as form. And Ecology is used to counter the mid-century logic of blight—that Black people are a detriment to an urban ecology. BAEP acknowledges the active, creative vitality of Black communities from the past, present, and into the future of Portland.” In the APEX exhibition, viewers will see projects that were created with community members including Portland Institute for Contemporary Art (PICA), Albina Vision Trust, Soul Business District Association, Self-Enhancement Inc., Imagine Black, Nat Turner Project, and Northwest Black Comedy Festival, among others. Additionally, projects with BAEP @ nůn studios reflect Towne’s lyrical mode of dissemination—through Riso prints and zines. Sharita Towne is a multidisciplinary artist and educator based in Portland. Born and raised on
the West Coast of the U.S. along Interstate 5 from Salem, Oregon, to Tacoma, Washington, and down to Sacramento, California. She is most interested in engaging local and global Black geographies, histories, and possibilities. In her work, a shared art penetrates and binds people—artists, audience, organizers, civic structures, sisters, cousins, and landscape—in collective catharsis, grief, and joy. Towne holds a B.A. from UC Berkeley and an MFA from Portland State University. Her work has received support from organizations including Creative Capital, the Fulbright Association, Art Matters, The Ford Family Foundation, Oregon Community Foundation, Oregon Humanities, Oregon Arts Commission, The Miller Foundation, the Regional Arts and Culture Council, the MRG Lilla Jewel Award, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Open Signal, SPACES in Cleveland, and the Independent Publishing Resource Center in Portland. Most recently, Towne was awarded the Fields Artist Fellowship by Oregon Humanities and the Oregon Community Foundation. The exhibition is supported by The Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Endowments for Northwest Art, The Ford Family Foundation, the Oregon Community Foundation, and Exhibition Series Sponsors.
AUX/MUTE GALLERY Presented by The Numberz FM THROUGH JUNE 2022
The Portland Art Museum invited The Numberz FM to curate and program a series of installations in our fourth-floor Northwest Art galleries as part of their Community-in-Residence partnership with the Museum. Learn more about the gallery from The Numberz below, and read more about the partnership on page 20. The AUX/MUTE Gallery presented by The Numberz FM and the Portland Art Museum is an endeavor designed to reduce the barrier for BIPOC practicing artists to be represented within an institution of high art. The name is derived from the history of marginalized groups being MUTED in their ability to tell their own stories and share their work within the art world. This space gives them the AUX, the open pathway or signal into conveying their truths, their passions, and their art. In this ongoing partnership between The Numberz FM and PAM, AUX/MUTE will seek to engage the community in conversation around artists who have historically been underrepresented within institutions of art and provide physical space for their stories to be told. COMING SOON: THE AUX/MUTE BODEGA In Fall 2021, the AUX/MUTE Gallery will add a bodega where visitors can browse, appreciate, and purchase creative work by local BIPOC artists. Stay tuned! The Numberz FM’s Community-in-Residence is supported in part by the Oregon Cultural Trust, the Regional Arts and Culture Council, the Portland Art Museum’s Artist Fund, and The Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Endowments for Northwest Art.
AWAY|HOME THROUGH NOVEMBER 2021
The inaugural exhibition in the AUX/MUTE Gallery, AWAY/HOME is a cumulation of work created by Portland-based artist Sa’rah Melinda Sabino. The works displayed are designed to convey the human experience of being put in a box and the limitations of racial identity. This show is a peek into the intimate journey of finding home in oneself, and an example of how representation, community, and collaboration are pivotal when creating more inclusive spaces. For more information on Sa’rah and her work, visit rahrahsworld.com UPCOMING: Future AUX/MUTE exhibitions will showcase photographer Jason Hill, whose stunning photography highlights the many faces of our community (including the Numberz— see page 20); conceptual artist and curator Christine Miller; and a group show featuring art in the growing collection of The Numberz FM.

UPCOMING MESH NOVEMBER 6, 2021 – MAY 8, 2022
Mesh features the bold work of four emerging and early-career artists whose multidisciplinary work touches on current social issues, including the ongoing fight against racial injustice and conflicts over Indigenous land rights. At the same time, through photography, painting, and mixed media, the artists celebrate the ongoing presence of Native American art and culture and remind us that art is an essential form of activism.

Painter Lynnette Haozous, a Chiricahua Apache artist and member of the San Carlos Apache Tribe with Diné and Taos Pueblo ancestry, will install a temporary 20-foot mural in the gallery, created for the exhibition. Together this dynamic art, which meshes together tradition and contemporary culture, ancient techniques, and modern materials, presents a powerful statement about the next generation of Native artists.
Ka ila Farrell-Smith is a Klamath Modoc artist from Chiloquin, Oregon, whose selection from her recent, vibrant painting series Land Back draws from the aesthetics of graffiti as well as petroglyphs, using text and imagery as urgent messengers of warning and resistance. Embedded in the use of the customary Native Hawaiian practice of using 'ohe kāpala (carved bamboo printing tools), kapa (bark cloth), and natural pigments, Lehuauakea (Kanaka Maoli), a mixed-media artist from Portland and Hawaii, creates delicate yet powerful works that address racism and protest.

OPACITY OF PERFORMANCE: TAKAHIRO YAMAMOTO JANUARY 28–30, FEBRUARY 4–6, AND FEBRUARY 11–12, 2022
Portland-based choreographer and artist Takahiro Yamamoto’s new collaborative dance installation Opacity of Performance investigates the physical and emotional effects that both dancers and viewers undergo when visibility, activity, and attention vary over an extended duration. In the Portland Art Museum’s Laura & Roger Meier Family Gallery of European art, viewers will encounter three performance areas divided by three movable curtains, which dancers will move to obscure, reveal, and shape viewers’ experiences of the solo performances coexisting in these distinct spaces. Yamamoto’s choreography centers states of visibility and Takahiro Yamamoto (above right) and Opacity of Performance cast during rehearsals, September 2021. Photos by Jon Richardson.
invisibility, created collaboratively with the performers. Both in design and movement, the durational performance explores the tension inherent to being seen, which both validates the performer’s subjectivity and objectifies the individual as a member of a specific group. Resisting such visibility counteracts society’s drive to control and empowers otherness in the face of cultural repression.

SPRING 2022 FRIDA KAHLO, DIEGO RIVERA, AND MEXICAN MODERNISM FEBRUARY 19 – JUNE 5, 2022
Internationally beloved artists Frida Kahlo (1907–1954) and Diego Rivera (1886–1957) played a crucial role in defining and establishing the avant-garde cultural movement in Mexico in the early 20th century. Their famously stormy marriage reflected their diverging artistic styles: While Rivera’s art projected itself outward, often in vast murals, and concerned itself with the construction of a national identity in postwar Mexico, Kahlo’s turned inward and represented mexicanidad through an exploration of her personal identity. This exhibition from the Jacques and Natasha Gelman Collection of 20th Century Mexican Art and The Vergel Foundation will feature many of Kahlo’s most famous self-portraits and rarely seen oil paintings by Rivera, as well as works by other icons of Mexican modernism. Organized by the MondoMostre. Presented by The Harold & Arlene Schnitzer CARE Foundation/Jordan Schnitzer and the Laura and Roger Meier Family, with lead corporate support from Bank of America. Major support provided by Mr. and Mrs. Roger Burpee, Cooper and Sanda DuBois, The Standard, and Mr. and Mrs. William Whitsell.
Special Member Opportunities We’re so excited to be able to offer members special viewing hours and programs for this highly anticipated exhibition! Members, watch your email inbox in the coming weeks for more information on ticketing, special programs, and more!

SUMMER 2022 CONSTRUCTING REVOLUTION: Soviet Propaganda Posters from between the World Wars JULY 2 – OCTOBER 9, 2022
Constructing Revolution explores a remarkable and wide-ranging body of propaganda posters as an artistic consequence of the 1917 Russian Revolution. This vibrant exhibition delves into a relatively short-lived era of unprecedented experimentation and utopian idealism, which produced some of the most iconic images in the history of graphic design. Bringing more than 100 Soviet-era posters from the private collection of Svetlana and Eric Silverman, Constructing Revolution showcases a number of key figures in the Soviet artistic avant-garde, among them Vladimir Mayakovsky, Aleksandr Rodchenko, and Gustav Klutsis. Organized by the Bowdoin College Museum of Art. Supported by Exhibition Series Sponsors.
FALL 2022 BLACK ARTISTS OF OREGON OCTOBER 1, 2022 – APRIL 9, 2023 Dates subject to change Black Artists of Oregon, highlighting and celebrating the work of Black artists in and outside of the Museum’s collection, will serve to deepen awareness of the talented artists that have shaped and inspired artists regionally and nationally. The exhibition will be the first of its kind to consider the work of Black artists collectively in Oregon, often underrepresented and unacknowledged. Spanning the 1920s through today, the exhibition captures the African American experience particular to the Pacific Northwest. Artists in the exhibition will include Al Goldsby, Thelma Johnson Streat, Isaka Shamsud-Din, Ralph Chessé, Arvie Smith, Shedrich Williames, Harrison Branch, Robert Colescott, Adriene Cruz, Charlotte Lewis, and Carrie Mae Weems. This exhibition will be guest curated by artist Intisar Abioto. In Abioto’s own artistic practice, she has been documenting Black figures in Portland since 2013, through interviews, photography, research, and performance, filling the region’s own historical gaps. The Museum’s Re:Imagine Artist Fund (see page 23) provided seed funding to Intisar Abioto for her research and planning. Lead support provided by the Terra Foundation for American Art.

DAKOTA MODERN: The Art of Oscar Howe NOVEMBER 5, 2022 – MAY 14, 2023
Dakota Modern: The Art of Oscar Howe introduces new generations to one of the 20th century’s most innovative Native American painters. Howe (1915–1983) committed his artistic career to the preservation, relevance, and ongoing expression of his Yanktonai Dakota culture. He proved that art could be simultaneously modern and embedded in customary Očhéthi Šakówiŋ (Sioux) culture and aesthetics—to him there was no contradiction.
18 PORTLAND ART MUSEUM
Howe challenged the art establishment’s preconceptions and definitions of Native American painting. In doing so, he catalyzed a movement among Native artists to express their individuality rather than conforming to an established style. This legacy of innovation and advocacy continues to inspire generations of Native artists to take pride in their heritage and resist stereotypes.
Organized by the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian and the Portland Art Museum. Curated by Kathleen Ash-Milby. Major support provided by The Henry Luce Foundation. Additional support provided by the Wyeth Foundation for American Art. Support for the Portland Art Museum installation provided by the Institute for Museum and Library Services, grant MA-249741-OMS-21.
Dakota Modern traces more than 40 years of the artist’s career and development from early conventional work created while in high school in the 1930s through the emergence in the 1950s and 1960s of his innovative and abstract approach to painting.
Dakota Modern will be on view March 12 – September 11, 2022, at the National Museum of the American Indian in New York City before traveling to the Portland Art Museum.

NEWS & NOTEWORTHY
LISTENING TO COMMUNITY: THE NUMBERZ AND PORTLAND ART MUSEUM PARTNERSHIP Written in collaboration by Jaleesa Johnston and Stephanie Parrish from the Portland Art Museum and DJ Ambush from The Numberz FM. A central component of our work at the Museum is building meaningful relationships that strengthen the bridge between art and community. This guiding principle has been at the core of an ongoing partnership with The Numberz FM, a community-based radio station that identifies with the taglines “Liberated
20 PORTLAND ART MUSEUM
Black Media” and “The Black Music Experience for Black Portland.” The Museum and The Numberz first worked together during the exhibition Hank Willis Thomas: All Things Being Equal... in 2019, where The Numberz was a community partner-in-residence, conducting interviews, broadcasting on-site, presenting playlist workshops, and more. After the Hank Willis Thomas exhibition, the Museum stayed connected with The Numberz, investing in the
station with advertising to encourage visitation, and making plans for the future. When the pandemic struck, followed shortly thereafter by the murder of George Floyd, the moment was ripe for urgent change. As the Museum’s galleries closed to the public, we used the rare moment of literal open space to continue activation and engagement with The Numberz through a long-term residency. The station’s offices were closed due to COVID-19

restrictions, and they were without a space from which to operate. In August 2020, The Numberz moved into the Museum’s fourth-floor Center for Northwest Art, which was shuttered at the time to the public, but housed an incredible exhibition of work by artist Ed Bereal. Amid Bereal’s installation, and visitor favorites like William Morris’ Artifact Panel, The Numberz team was reunited in a physical space to continue broadcasting and creating content. Throughout the residency, The Numberz has invited artists of many different disciplines to sit down and share their stories, detailing the impact of today’s issues on their work. Artists who have made their mark and are now using their position to highlight privileges that they have while using that same privilege in an attempt to even the playing field for others. Over the summer, and before the Delta variant prompted renewed caution, The Numberz, in partnership with the Museum and the Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT), presented a number of programs, concerts, pop-up vaccine clinics, and even a fashion show in the Madison Street Plaza. The Plaza, a section of Southwest Madison Street at Park Avenue that has been closed to cars and furnished with seating to encourage neighborhood gathering, was spearheaded by PBOT as part of a citywide summer plaza initiative for communal gathering and events.
Today, The Numberz is still working, recording and broadcasting from the fourth floor, this time alongside Sharita Towne’s APEX exhibition A Black Art Ecology of Portland where they are curating their own rotating gallery of BIPOC artists called AUX/MUTE (see page 13) and will be offering a unique bodega shopping experience as well.
The Numberz FM’s Community-in-Residence is supported in part by the Regional Arts & Culture Council, The Oregon Cultural Trust, The Portland Art Museum’s Artist Fund, and The Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Endowments for Northwest Art.

• As Juneteenth became a federal holiday this year, Museum Visitor Services Lead Ted Smith recorded a video with The Numberz General Manager DJ Ambush talking about the end of slavery and what came before and after. • In July, the Museum partnered with the City of Portland on their “Supporting Community Healing with Art’’ initiative with an event titled “See Me. iAm. HEAR: A Creative Activation of Youth Voices of Color.” Other community partners included The Numberz FM, I AM M.O.R.E, IPRC, and NAYA Many Nations Academy. • In late 2020 and early 2021 the Museum supported Resist COVID/ Take 6!, a public art and health campaign in partnership with artist Carrie Mae Weems, the City of Portland, and Multnomah County Public Health Division to draw attention to the outsized impact of COVID-19 on BIPOC communities. • The Portland International Film Festival had guest curators from diverse backgrounds for the first time.
• Racial affinity groups are a core element in our work to dismantle racism at the Museum and Film Center. The BIPOC affinity group and white learning space continue to meet virtually once a month. • The Museum and members of its volunteer docent program continue to work together on ways to center equity and inclusion. • In fall 2020, staff completed part one of a training course with the Sexual & Gender Minority Youth Resource Center’s Bridge 13 to introduce and further knowledge around LGBTQ+–related issues and combat intolerance. • In October 2020, the most diverse slate of new Board of Trustees members were elected. Artists Carrie Mae Weems and Marie Watt are among the new Museum trustees guiding this important community institution.
RE:IMAGINE ARTIST FUND CENTERS ARTISTS IN REIMAGINING NEW WAYS OF ENGAGING WITH ART Earlier this year, the Museum and Northwest Film Center announced the continuation of the Re:Imagine Artist Fund, which launched in 2020 and supported artists through direct relief and sustainability grants at the start of the pandemic. This phase of the Fund provides expanded, equitable financial support for artists developing new projects and programs that engage with the issues of our time. The Re:Imagine Artist Fund was created in 2020 as a reaction to the pressures of the pandemic on artists in Portland and Southwest Washington. In initial phases of the Fund, the Museum and Film Center provided relief grants of $2,000 for 25 artists demonstrating severe economic need and $5,000 sustainability grants for 20 artists who are pivoting their practices toward greater impact and innovation. The grant programs aimed to center BIPOC, LGBTQ+ artists and artists living with disabilities who had been most impacted during the months of COVID-19 shutdown, and over 80 percent of the funding went to artists who self-identified as such. Through our current programming efforts, the Artist Fund has supported a number of programs, exhibitions, and partnerships. This past spring, we kicked off this phase of the Artist Fund with Epic Ephemera, a digital art installation series curated by Mobile
Portland Winter Lights Festival, 2021 from the series Epic Ephemera, a digital art installation series curated by Mobile Projection Unit (Fernanda D’Agostino and Sarah Turner).
Projection Unit (Fernanda D’Agostino and Sarah Turner), and the Film Center funded BIPOC filmmakers, storytellers, and new media artists as part of a new experimental series of multimedia workshops and classes called Co:Laboratory. The Fund also supported the Film Center’s Cinema//Care, a program that reinforces a commitment to care and community through the programming of independent films at art houses and festivals. In addition to new projects and programs, the Artist Fund has supported continued and evolving partnerships like the residency with The Numberz FM, a radio station committed to Black music for Black Portland (see page 20). Another partnership that dates back decades is the Museum and Film Center’s connection to educators, and over the summer the Fund helped to support collaborative conversations around the role and future of monuments and public space through two programs— Re-imagining Portland: Parks, Public Space, Memory, Creativity, and Spatial Justice, and Memory and Public Space: An Educator UnConference.
On the horizon are more projects that champion the work that artists do in our community, including VR to Go this fall (see page 27), a program where audiences check out and gain access to pre-loaded virtual-reality headsets with immersive stories, and next year Black Artists of Oregon (see page 17), an exhibition that will highlight and celebrate the work of Black artists in Oregon. The Artist Fund will also provide seed funding for Spencer Garland, founder and creative director of BRENDA ARTS, and his team to launch a yearlong series of bimonthly videos that uses works on view and in the Museum’s collection to teach media literacy for high school ages and up through a Black art history and Afrofuturist lens. Amid the uncertainty of the pandemic, the Museum and Film Center remain committed to supporting artists and collaborating directly to create ongoing paths for local artists to live in, and share their talents with, our community. Major funding for the Re:Imagine Artist Fund is made possible by the Museum’s Art Gym endowment, a restricted endowment established with support from the Robert and Mercedes Eichholz Foundation, and grants from Tim and Mary Boyle, The Collins Foundation, Kirk and Cynthia Day, and longtime artist advocate Sarah Miller Meigs.

NORTHWEST FILM CENTER
SUSTAINABILITY LABS The Northwest Film Center and Portland Art Museum launched the inaugural Sustainability Labs in October 2021. The six-month program is designed to ensure that talented, multidisciplinary media storytellers receive the support, resources, and connections to a variety of professional opportunities necessary to thrive creatively, financially, and personally in an everchanging landscape. Successfully making cinematic art is a feat in and of itself, but sustaining a career in the film and media industry continues to be difficult due to the lack of access to mentors, industry leaders, tools, and strategies necessary in communities outside of major cities. Sustainability Labs is a pilot program that uniquely prioritizes holistic career advancement and sustainability. Rather than focusing on a singular project, the Sustainability Labs will act as a catalyst not only for select artists, but for our community and the ecosystem at large. “Creative media-makers flock to Portland, embracing a unique ecosystem that isn’t content to be contained,” says NWFC Director Amy Dotson. “No one fusses when a painter decides to sculpt, and as a part of the Portland Art Museum, we take that inspiration seriously. Using that ethos, we hope to guide today’s media storytellers to a more inclusive and sustainable multidisciplinary tomorrow. With our mission of changing by whom, for whom, and how cinematic stories are told, it is now more important than ever to help media artists embrace their vision across multiple mediums and give them the individualized support they need to sustain creatively, financially and as incredibly creative humans.” This is a natural extension of the Northwest Film Center, which serves the community year-round through Cinema Unbound exhibition programming, education, and artist services programs. With these programs, we aim for a future where cinema is unbound: where the original, the interconnected, and the unexpected are the new norm; where we
26 PORTLAND ART MUSEUM
strive to think bigger, try new things, and push forward and transform the field. The program brings another facet to the Film Center’s “cinema unbound” vision, embracing artists’ multiplicities and de-siloing modes of storytelling to provide greater opportunity and access. Serving five midcareer storytellers working in a variety of mediums—including film, television, animation, and branded content, as well as artists working in XR, audio, new media and hybrid forms—the Lab exists to help those in search of guidance on the next steps of harnessing and expanding their creative and business talents across multiple platforms. The Labs include individual, bespoke support on business plans, project and personal financial planning, creative brand expansion, and growth opportunities as well as small group sessions on mental health, balance, and personal sustainability. In order for the Labs to be a sustainable program for artists to participate in, a $2,500 stipend will be provided. Ultimately, the Labs are focused on improving equity, creative diversity, and sustainability in cinematic storytelling in all its forms. In the Film Center’s ongoing commitment to inclusion, a minimum of half of the participants in the Sustainability Labs will be those who identify as Black, indigenous, artists of color, women artists, trans/nonbinary and/or disabled artists. The Labs will also bring together both Northwest artists and international artists, uplifting the region’s talent to a global scale and creating long-lasting, interconnected cohorts that can support one another now and into the future. This project is supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts and generous contributions from Joan Cirillo, Roger Cooke, and the Reil Foundation for Arts & Creativity.
2021 Lab Participants Five participants were selected by a panel of individuals working in the storytelling industry in September. These selected artists are: Angela Washko Gaming/Film/Installation (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania)

CO:LABORATORY Are you a lover of a good story well told, a working media artist in the Northwest (or beyond!), or are working to change the status quo? If so, we can’t wait to welcome you to the Co:Laboratory! The Northwest Film Center’s Co:Laboratory exists to inspire new projects, new skills, and new ways of seeing. The Co:Laboratory offers connections to people, ideas, and innovations in the media arts that help artists—and art lovers—sustain their curiosity and expand what is creatively possible. In the spirit of all creative endeavors, it is by design an ever-evolving, community-driven, ongoing work-in-progress. Expansive in genre, mediums, and ideas, the Co:Laboratory is one grand experiment. November and December 2021 will offer two unique workshops, one that is multi-part and specific to a subgenre within Bollywood cinema that will also include dance classes, while the other is a single workshop focusing on what creatives should be prepared to have when they are asking for funds for their projects. Both classes will be taught by leaders in their respective fields. For more information about our upcoming Co:Laboratory classes, workshops, and events, visit nwfilm.org/classes.

Save the Date: CINEMA UNBOUND AWARDS 2022 MONDAY, MARCH 7, 2022
In March 2022, the Northwest Film Center & Portland Art Museum will present the third annual Cinema Unbound Awards celebrating artists and leaders who are transforming cinematic storytelling—and the world. The Awards honor storytellers who use their creative vision to expand the reach of cinema as an art form to challenge for whom, by whom, and how stories can be told. Past honorees have included Steve McQueen, Garrett Bradley, Gus Van Sant, Todd Haynes, and John Cameron Mitchell, and presenters have included Academy Award for Best Picture Winners Bong Joon-ho (Parasite), Guillermo Del Toro (The Shape of Water), and Chloe Zhao (Nomadland). This year’s honorees will be announced in February 2022. Information on tickets and table sales will be available soon. Please stay tuned for updates on our blog, nwfc.pam.org.

PORTLAND ART MUSEUM 31
FIVE REASONS TO SUPPORT THE ARTS THIS YEAR Why Arts Matter Your investment in the Portland Art Museum directly impacts the health and vitality of our region, enabling our community to come together to learn, grow, and thrive through rich arts experiences.
Arts unify our communities. Seventy-two percent of Americans believe “the arts unify our communities regardless of age, race, and ethnicity” and 73% agree that the arts “helps me understand other cultures better”—a perspective observed across all demographic and economic categories. We love that the Portland region is known for arts and culture—the arts keep us connected.
Arts strengthen our local economy. The nation’s arts and culture sector is a $919.7 billion industry that supports 5.2 million jobs. In 2019, Oregon’s arts and culture sector contributed $9.5 billion to the economy, representing 69,549 jobs. COVID-19’s impact on the creative economy has been devastating in Oregon, with creative workers making up 64% of the unemployed population. The arts accelerate economic recovery: a growth in arts employment has a positive and causal effect on overall employment.
Arts drive tourism and revenue to local businesses. The nonprofit arts industry alone generates $166.3 billion in economic activity annually— spending by organizations and their audiences. Downtown Portland Arts travelers are ideal tourists, staying longer and spending more to seek out authentic cultural experiences. The arts and culture sector contributed $9.5 billion to Oregon’s economy in 2019, representing 3.6% of the state’s GDP.
Arts have long-term social impact. Art serves not only to reflect culture, but to reveal it, playing a critical role in expressing views outside the mainstream. PAM serves as a civic space that welcomes all to consider art that sparks productive discourse on a range of issues relevant to our community today. AFTA research shows that a high concentration of the arts in a city leads to higher civic engagement, more social cohesion, higher child welfare, and lower poverty rates.
Arts strengthen mental health. When we reopened, PAM visitors shared that they were able to safely relax, enjoy art, and recover from the health impacts of the pandemic. The arts are an effective resource for enhancing our mental and physical well-being. The arts build emotional resilience and coping skills; just 30 minutes of active arts activities daily—from hands-on creative activities to an hourlong visit to a museum—can combat the ill effects of isolation and loneliness associated with COVID-19. Americans for the Arts (AFTA)—a national leader in arts advocacy—has outlined reasons why an investment in artists and arts organizations is vital to our post-pandemic healing and recovery. Learn more about the data above at nwfc.pam.org/why-arts-matter.
Celebrate Oregon and support our arts! We are thrilled to have a beautiful new Oregon Cultural Trust banner on the back of the Northwest Film Center building. The banner features the new Oregon Cultural Trust license plate design by artist Liza Burns. Sales of the new plate benefit promotion of the cultural tax credit, which is Oregon’s unique tool for funding statewide culture, including the Portland Art Museum and Northwest Film Center! Learn more about the Trust and how you can support the arts in our state at culturaltrust.org.
