Movin’ On: Michelle Given

July 10, 2012 to August 26, 2012

In conjunction with the JSMA's summer camp program, we present Movin’ On, an installation that depends on audience participation. Viewers must start the timer to see the old family movies, thereby committing themselves not only to thirty seconds of footage, but also to the permanent destruction of thirty precious seconds of the same film. The nostalgia traditionally associated with viewing old family films is undermined by the shredder’s jarring sound. In addition to her interactive installation, Given will work with our middle school and high school summer art series teaching alternative photo processes and mixed media design. Michelle Given is a photographer and multi-media artist living and working as an Assistant Professor of Photography at Murray State University in Murray, Kentucky.

Provenance: In Honor of Arlene Schnitzer

May 12, 2012 to September 16, 2012

From the founding of the Fountain Gallery in 1961 to the present, Arlene Schnitzer has created provenance – the history and ownership of a work of art. Her impact on the way we see and appreciate the art of our time, and particularly, the artists of the Pacific Northwest is unparalleled. This exhibition, curated by Lawrence Fong, Curator of American and Regional Art, and Danielle Knapp, McCosh Fellow Curator, and featuring more than 40 major works from her collection, will tell the story of Arlene Schnitzer’s personal relationships with the artists, curators and collectors she championed and influenced. The exhibition and catalog are made possible with generous support from Arlene Schnitzer/The Harold & Arlene Schnitzer CARE Foundation, the William A. Haseltine Museum of Art Endowment Fund, and JSMA members. This project is supported in part by a grant from the Oregon Arts Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts.

Lecture: Modern Enchantment: China and the Graphic Artists Elizabeth Keith and Bertha Lum, 1900s-1930s

This presentation examines Bertha Lum's and Elizabeth Keith's remarkable series of woodblock prints made during sojourns in the major cities of China from the early 1900s through the 1930s. It considers how their prints drew directly from modern Chinese visual culture and imaginatively recast it to embody and reflect their own enchantment with China.

Comparative Literature Department's NOMAD Undergraduate Conference

The Comparative Literature Program is proud to announce the NOMAD Undergraduate Conference cosponsored by the JSMA. This conference culminates a year-long speaker series and mentorship program dedicated to a specific research theme. This year students have examined the worlds of illusion and double-take, hoax and pretense through the theme of TRICK. Undergraduate participants have worked one-on-one with faculty and graduate-student mentors to develop and present their own research. The public is warmly welcome.

Schnitzer Cinema: The Mill and the Cross

Lech Majewski's The Mill and the Cross (2011, 92 min.) makes use of traditional and contemporary film technologies, allowing the audience to live inside The Procession to Calvary, an epic 1564 painting by Flemish master Pieter Bruegel. Rutger Hauer plays Bruegel, Michael York portrays his friend Jonghelinck, and Charlotte Rampling plays Mary.

Schnitzer Cinema, a monthly film cafe series co-presented with the Cinema Pacific film festival during the academic year, features new independent films and filmmaker dialogues, free popcorn and other refreshments.
