EVENTS
The Thinking Body Curators’ Talk
Wednesday, July 16, 6:00 p.m.
"The Thinking Body" co-curators, Anya Kivarkis, University of Oregon assistant professor of metals and jewelry, and Kate Wagle, chair of the University of Oregon Department of Art, speak on the contemporary work in the exhibition.
Looking at China, Seeing Our Global Economy
Wednesday, July 30, 6:00 p.m.
Richard Kraus, Professor Emeritus of Political Science, University of Oregon, discusses how the stunning and stark photographs of China’s industrialization in "Edward Burtynsky: The China Series" collide with our conceptions of China as distant, exotic, and irrelevant to our daily lives. China is now the platform for manufacturing our stuff and the repository for our pollution, all done with low wages guaranteed by an authoritarian government Americans love to hate.
Free Family Day: Art Olympics
Saturday, August 9, 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Explore the Olympics through art activities including design and movement! Design your own Olympic medal, running shoe and custom track suit. Create a Greek vase with your own motifs. Participate in a javelin throw. Tours of "Faster, Higher, Farther: The Spirit of Track-and-Field Sports" exhibition will be led by trained volunteers. Powerbars and sports drinks will also be provided.
Please bring a non-perishable food item to donate to Food for Lane County.
