| Exhibit: The Long Now
11:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art
The first Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art (JSMA) Art Department faculty exhibition in six years features the work of many artists who have joined the faculty recently as well as significant developments in the work of long-standing artists. Stamatina Gregory, an independent curator from New York City, organized the exhibition, which encompasses diverse contemporary practices and ideas ranging from drawing to emerging technology, from abstraction to relational aesthetics. A catalogue with critical essays, Sharon Lockhart's new film, and roundtable discussions that explore creative inquiry accompany the show. A smaller exhibition focusing on one set of ideas emerging from the large show will run concurrently at the White Box in Portland, January 24 - March 24.
The Long Now is made possible with support from the Donald and Coeta Barker Changing Exhibitions Endowment Fund, the William C. Mitchell Estate, JSMA members, the Ann Swindells Chair in Architecture and Allied Arts, and the School of Architecture and Allied Arts. |
 | SQ3Tsya'yay: Weaver's Spirit Power by Susan Pavel
11:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Museum of Natural and Cultural History
The "SQ3Tsya'yay: Weaver's Spirit Power" exhibit by Susan Pavel, master weaver and weaving teacher, offers textiles hand woven in the Puget Salish Style including woven blankets, used as clothing and worn on ceremonial occasions. The blankets tell a story and are also symbolic of a person's wealth and status while holding a special spiritual power for the people who wear them. SQ3Tsya'yay (pronounced "cut-see-ya-ya") means Weaver's Spirit Power. In the exhibit visitors will have the chance to try their hand at weaving and touch samples of weavings and materials, including rare mountain goat wool.

 | Awake and Sing!
8:00 PM
Miller Theatre Complex
Set during the trying times of the Great Depression, the classic American drama "Awake and Sing!" looks at a working-class Jewish family (the Bergers) and their struggle to carve out a slice of the American Dream. Playwright Clifford Odets calls for a revolution; for the audience to look past money and greed and to discover the treasure of family, freedom and our place in the future. The questions raised by Odets are as relevant in the current economic downturn as they were during the Great Depression, as we, like the Berger’s, make decisions between what society stands for and what we can afford. |
