In the spring of 2012, drawing upon Portland’s ethic of community engagement and creativity, a public call was sent out for brief written expressions of the times that would reflect upon the egalitarian, utilitarian and civic nature of this new infrastructure project. The call requested short lines of text (fifty characters or less) to be painted onto silt fencing during the temporary Art Starts Now phase and then stamped into sidewalk paving during the permanent Impressed Concrete phase. Eleven hundred submissions were received, and one hundred and two of them were selected as “orange lines” for use in the project through a blind-jury selection process. Phase one, Art Starts Now, employed orange silt fencing as a surface for publishing the poetic works, assigning a dual function to this utilitarian material. During phase two, Impressed Concrete, text was stamped into fresh concrete along the alignment referencing the City’s history of stamping street names into curbs at corners. The intention behind both phases was to work with common construction materials used by the skilled tradespeople responsible for building the light rail alignment. This book provides a pictorial view of the two-phased process. The selection of photographs gives an overall sense of the project and includes at least one photo to represent each of the chosen “orange lines.” 5 6 7 8 Art Starts Now Art Starts Now integrated art into the construction process, providing something to help ameliorate the inevitable disturbances that affect neighbors and travelers in an ongoing construction zone. Construction workers delivered the rolls of silt fencing needed for erosion control to our warehouse studio. Lines of text were hand painted onto fencing using stencils, India ink and foam brushes and then rolled back up and delivered to the main construction yard. Workers picked them up from there and installed them when and where required for erosion control. There was no curation of installation locations. In total, over 100 rolls of Art Starts Now fencing were installed, adding up to about a mile of poetic fencing. The installations were temporary, lasting only as long as the construction mitigation process required. 9 10 Tote bags were created out of remnants of silt fencing that contained errors. For straps, old seat belts found discarded in the warehouse were used. During the Impressed Concrete phase of the project, construction crews used the bags to transport stamp sets. 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 Impressed Concrete During the Impressed Concrete phase, lines of text were stamped into freshly poured concrete sidewalks by the same masons who installed the streets and other surfaces along the alignment. We had stamp sets fabricated to create an impression that resembled the existing historical street name stampings located throughout the city. Stamp placement and technique were closely assessed and monitored by TriMet and the City of Portland. We worked with TriMet’s Public Art and Project Design teams to create a set of documents detailing the location and typesetting for each of the 121 stamping locations. 41 42 Presented here are the selected Orange Lining LINCOLN/SW 3RD NEAREST STATION SOUTH WATERFRONT/SW MOODY NEAREST STATION texts, their authors, and the nearest locations where they can be viewed.

  • What to See in Portland Update2009
    What to see in Portland, OR - by Marco Behrmann 07/02/2004 1/3 WHAT TO SEE IN PORTLAND , OR _________________________________________ Listed below you will find a couple of sights and my personal favourites to do in Portland. Since Portland was my town of exchange I do not know as many things about the other cities like Eugene, Corvallis, Ashland or La Grande. However, it would be just great if somebody could add tips about their places similar to the ones here, too! Please feel free to forward them to me (marcobehrmann[at]web.de ). I do not want you to believe that just because I stayed in Portland, and have many tips here for Portland, that a year at one of the other Oregon cities is not the same exciting. The tips listed here, however, are interesting for all Baden-Wuerttemberg students in Oregon, because many things you can already see and experience during your orientation weeks. (BTW: This is almost everything I did (among other things, of course) within my 2 ½ weeks of re-visiting in June 2004; but it took me a year of living in the city in 2001/02 to figure out which were the hot tips ☺) Here are my personal Must-Sees Oregon History Center in SW Park blocks right south of PSU (This museum features very interesting and well researched exhibitions about the development of Portland as a city as well as about the whole Pacific Northwest as it was discovered from the sea and the Columbia River; good place to check out during your orientation weeks; you get a student reduction with ISIC or other student ID card) Council Crest Park (considered the highest spot in Portland; nice views to Mt Hood, Mt Adams, Mt St Helens and even Mt Rainier on some days as well as to Beaverton; take Bus 51 [Vista]; the Bus driver often feels himself as an informal Portland guide; tell him that you are visiting and he even might stop for you at nice viewpoints to take pictures.

  • 2014 English Letter
    the English Letter Spring 2014 The School of Writing, Literature, and Film Dear Friends of the School of Writing, Literature, and Film: Two defining moments in the history and identity of English at OSU took place less than a decade apart in the 1960s. Bernard Malamud’s immigrant narrative of transformation, in which “a bearded, fatigued, lonely” English professor from New York arrives in the lush landscape of “Cascadia” (aka Oregon) College, was published as A New Life (1961). And by the mid-sixties, OSU had graduated its first class of English majors. Marking the centenary of Malamud’s birth (1914-2014), as well as 50 years of excellence in writing and the literary arts, the School hosted a gathering of faculty, students, alumni, and community members in the Valley Library Special Collections on April 24 to kick off a multi- year celebration. Organized by the English Student Association and Assistant Professor Lily Sheehan, the event honored Malamud with readings from A New Life and talks by faculty members Neil Davison, J.T. Bushnell, Ehren Pflugfelder, and Ray Malewitz. This year has also been transformative for Moreland Hall. Designed by architect John Beddes in 1917, the exterior of Moreland Hall retains its 1917 façade and Beaux-Arts detail. The interior is being renovated to reflect a twenty-first century outlook on arts and humanities education, student activities and engagement. The remodel has opened up 1600 square feet of atrium space, which will be ready by fall 2014 for exhibitions of faculty and student work, readings, and performances. Renovation has included development of new seminar-style class- Inside: rooms on the 2nd floor; a state-of-the-art writing lab on Moreland’s first floor is also planned.

In 2006, the Portland Bureau of Transportation undertook a major effort to update the Bicycle Master Plan. As part of that process a report documenting past developments and the current status of bicycling in the city was written to serve as a starting point for the new master plan. Most of the Existing Conditions Report was completed in 2007, with some chapters revised or updated in 2009. This Executive Summary is excerpted from the completed report. CHAPTER 2: BICYCLE USE By all metrics, bicycling in Portland is growing dramatically. Based on PDOT’s annual counts and surveys; the annual Service, Efforts, and Accomplishments (SEA) survey administered by the City of Portland Auditor’s office; the American Community Survey (ACS); and the US Census, more Portlanders are bicycling for more trips since the adoption of the City’s first Bicycle Master Plan in 1996.
