To muzzle his provocations, Chinese authorities have curtailed his internet access, beat him up, bulldozed his newly built studio, and held him in secret detention. Journalist Alison Klayman gained unprecedented access to Ai for the 2012 documentary Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry, the inside story of a defiant, digital-age dissident who inspires global audiences and blurs the boundaries of art and politics. Ai Weiwei films are free for Portland Art Museum members. Just come to the show and sign in at the door! Non members must reserve tickets at the Museum box office.

This commitment has resulted in the creation of an ongoing one-person contemporary exhibition series for artists of our region, APEX, and the biennial Contemporary Northwest Art Awards, as well as a renewed focus on historic figures through landmark survey exhibitions like Hilda Morris and Lee Kelly.

  • Annual Report for the Year 2003–2004
    2003–2004 ANNUAL REPORT SAM Students with Sanislo Feast SAM CONNECTS ART TO LIFE CONTEMPORARY CHINESE ARTIST LI JIN’S A FEAST made a permanent impression on the fourth- and fifth-grade students at Sanislo Elementary School. Inspired by the fifty-nine- foot-long painting depicting food from a traditional Chinese dinner on a background of recipes written in Chinese calligraphy, the students set out to re-create their own version. Art teachers Ruth Winter and Carolyn Autenrieth designed the project to celebrate the diversity of cultures at their school. Students painted their favorite ethnic foods, and staff helped transcribe the recipes into the students’ original languages. On display at the Seattle Asian Art Museum last spring, the students’ work, Sanislo Feast, a fifty-foot-long art scroll portraying food and languages from seventeen different nations and cultures, reflected the heritage of Sanislo students and staff. Students, families and teachers commemorated the unveiling of their “masterpiece” with a special celebration at SAAM. cover: Li Jin, China, born 1958, A Feast, 2001, ink on Xuan paper, 39 3/8 x 708 5/8 in., Courtesy of the artist and CourtYard Gallery, Beijing right: Wolfgang Groschedel and Kunz Lochner, Equestrian armor for Philip II, ca. 1554, etched steel and gold, Patrimonio Nacional, Real Armería, Madrid SEATTLE ART MUSEUM TABLE OF CONTENTS 1 Director’s Letter 17 Betty Bowen Award 2 Board of Trustees 18 Reaching Out to Youth & Families 3 Broadening, Deepening, Diversifying 19 Teaching and Learning 4–5 One Museum, Three

  • PDX CONTEMPORARY ART Is Pleased to Present New Paintings by Portland-Based Artist Adam Sorensen
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Kill: February 30, 2020 WHO: Adam Sorensen WHAT: Skeleton WHEN: January 15 - February 29, 2020 WHERE: PDX CONTEMPORARY ART 925 NW Flanders Street, Portland, OR 97209 HOURS: 11:00 – 6:00 Tuesday – Saturday ADMISSION: Free Open First Thursday February 6, 2020, 6:00 – 8:00 EXHIBITION NOTES: PDX CONTEMPORARY ART is pleased to present new paintings by Portland-based artist Adam Sorensen. Bringing together many sources, including reference to the Hudson River School painters of the American West, the Romanticism of Caspar David Friedrich, animation aesthetics, and the ukiyo-e traditions of Japanese woodcuts, Adam Sorensen makes landscape paintings that are familiar, yet otherworldly. On one hand optimistic and sublime, these paintings depict watery rills, lakes, and rivers that transport the viewer to a place with elements that are easily recognizable, but altogether feel utopian. Adam Sorensen, FlusSkelett, 2019, oil on linen, 38” x 34” With this utopia comes a sinister absence— a landscape that feels untouched and unaltered by life. Skeleton makes reference to a reexamination and excavation of past work, with many of the paintings in the show referencing and revisiting works that the artist has made over his fifteen year-long career. Adam Sorensen received a Bachelors of Fine Arts from Alfred University in New York and a Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in painting from the Studio Art International, Florence, Italy. His work has been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions, including shows at PDX CONTEMPORARY ART (Portland, OR), Whatcom Museum (Bellingham, WA), Archer Gallery (Vancouver, WA), Worksound (Portland, OR), and the Newberg Gallery at the Glasgow School of Art (Glasgow, Scotland).

While the painting has been greatly missed, we should be proud that it appeared in Marilyn Podemski this show, which was one of the best Tour treatments of a theme that I have ever seen. Curated by William Robinson at the Cleveland Previous Lecture Museum of Art (where the show first appeared) and Ann Dumas at the Royal Academy, the exhibition Los Angeles Trip examined the profound role of gardens in the development of painting from 1860 to 1920. They managed to secure Travel - Tacoma stupendous loans from public and private collections, including some of the very finest of Monet's numerous treatments of his Board of Directors garden at Giverny.

  • Painting Today and Yesterday in the US
    1941 Painting Today and Yesterday in the U.S. (June 5–September 1) Painting Today and Yesterday in the United States was the museum’s opening exhibition, highlighting trends in American art from colonial times onward as it reflected the unique culture and history of the United States. The exhibition also exemplified the mission of the SBMA to be a center for the promotion of art in the community as well as a true museum (Exhibition Catalogue, 13). The exhibition included nearly 140 pieces by an array of artists, such as Walt Kuhn (1877–1949), Yasuo Kuniyoshi (1889–1953), Charles Burchfield (1893–1967), Edward Hopper (1882–1967), and Winslow Homer (1836–1910). A very positive review of the exhibition appeared in the June issue of Art News, with particular accolades going to the folk art section. The Santa Barbara News-Press wrote up the opening in the June 1 edition, and Director Donald Bear wrote a series of articles for the News-Press that elaborated on the themes, content, and broader significance of the exhibition. Three paintings from this exhibition became part of the permanent collection of the SBMA: Henry Mattson’s (1873–1953) Night Mystery, Katherine Schmidt’s (1899–1978) Pear in Paper Bag and Max Weber’s (1881–1961) Winter Twilight (scrapbook 1941–1944–10). The theme of this exhibition was suggested by Mrs. Spreckels (Emily Hall Spreckels (Tremaine)) at a Board meeting and was unanimously approved. The title of the exhibition was suggested by Donald Bear, also unanimously approved by the Board. Van Gogh Paintings (September 9) Seventeen of Vincent van Gogh’s paintings were shown in this exhibition of the “most tragic painter in history.” This exhibition was shown in conjunction with the Master Impressionists show (see “Three Master French Impressionists” below).
