RETHINK WHAT CAN HAPPEN IN A MUSEUM

WELCOMEThis year marks the fifth Shine a Light at the Portland Art Museum. This event is a partnership between the Education Department at the Museum and Portland State University’s Art and Social Practice MFA concentration. Through the leadership of the Education Department, and our continued work with socially engaged artists, we seek to encourage an atmosphere of participation between the Museum, its visitors, and staff.

Through ongoing programs like Shine a Light, we create a museum that can be a site for experiments. Over the years this event has proven that the Portland Art Museum is not afraid of the unknown. Through this collaboration the Museum has been a beauty salon, a sports arena, a concert hall, publishing house, and so much more. Each year we become more nimble and expansive. The borders between art and life become porous and the distinctions between them are blurred.

One of the hallmarks of Shine a Light is that the majority of the artist projects activate gallery spaces and are in dialogue with the Museum’s collections in unexpected ways. In other words, Shine a Light turns the museum into a site of art production and practice and not just a space of display. The entire museum becomes a place of multi-layered connections, interpretations, conversations, and unplanned directions. It is a night of celebration, energy, conviviality, and community that makes people feel like they are a part of something bigger than themselves. We feel a sense of a collective museum as much as a museum of collections.

The spirit of Shine a Light reaches far beyond this single night. The Museum continues to make great strides to incorporate socially engaged art into its fabric on a more ongoing basis. The work of Jen Delos Reyes, this year’s Education Department Artist-in-Residence, points to the possibilities that arise when Museum staff work alongside practicing artists and learn from one another over the long term. We encourage you to stay tuned as the Museum continues to expand beyond the one-night event model of Shine a Light to create ongoing and sustainable ways to integrate socially engaged art into the daily life of the Museum and visitors like you.

Welcome to Shine a Light 2014!

6 – 9:30 P.M.   ROAM & PLAY9:30 – 10 P.M.   DESTROY!1ST FLOOR, MARK BUILDING, FRED AND SUZANNE FIELDS BALLROOM.

During the day of Shine a Light, invited project participants alter cardboard boxes for their young children as they would at home to create zones of imagination. The Box Project celebrates these acts of creativity that usually take place in the home by temporarily moving them into the museum. Later in the night all gathered for Shine a Light are invited to reclaim play and alter boxes for themselves ultimately destroying their collective creations toward the end of the night. Together everyone builds a parallel museum within the museum out of their cardboard creations. Boxes are all reused cardboard donated by local businesses and will be recycled. The project, documented via theboxproject.org raises questions about learning and play, creativity and parenting.

5.2 7:30 – 8:15 P.M. 2ND FLOOR, MAIN BUILDING, (EUROPEAN ART)

To visit the museum is to be confronted with the complex history of civilization. As visitors, we are made aware of our relationship to oppressive narratives such as patriarchy, colonialism, and capitalism. Healing the Museum creates a platform for sound healers to address oppressive historical narratives through participatory healing rituals.

6. ART FOR EDUCATIONBETTY MARÍN SHARITA TOWNE PATRICIA VÁZQUEZ

6:30 – 7:30 P.M.4TH FLOOR, MAIN BUILDING, SCHNITZER CENTER FOR NORTHWEST ART.

Art for Education works with several contemporary artists currently on display in the Museum’s Northwest and Native American galleries to extract problems from their artworks, turning them into prompts for the public. Through art-making in an eight-week workshop, sixth graders at the King School in Northeast Portland solved the same problems. Their experience is then made public through an audio tour and artist talks. The project also invites the museum public to give alternate solutions to the same problems during Shine a Light.

Participating Artists: Christine Bourdette, Jackie Johnson, Jim Riswold, Joe Seymour, Kaila Ferrell-Smith

9 P.M.EXTERIOR SCULPTURE GARDEN.

Tonight the Museum is full of participatory art projects. Without you, these projects would be incomplete. This project asks: “How do we involve others in our projects and not take advantage of them?” And “How do we provide ethical compensation to the people responsible for co-creating our works?” So join us in this conversation and for a chance to win some ca$h money in a bout of arm wrestling.

10. A HISTORY OF ENGAGEMENT: THE PORTLAND ART MUSEUM (1892-2014)JEN DELOS REYES WITH SARAH LAMPEN AND OLIVIA SERRILL

ONGOINGLOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE MUSUEM

As this year’s Education Department Artist-in-Residence, Delos Reyes collaborated with Sarah Lampen, the Museum’s 2013-14 Samuel H. Kress Foundation Interpretive Fellow, and Portland State University design/illustration student Olivia Serrill to create A History of Engagement, which highlights amazing moments of connection, big and small, that have taken place at this institution since its founding in 1892.The timeline focuses on Museum engagement that moves outside of standard practice, reaches beyond the museum walls to build relationships, fosters community participation, and makes clear that a museum can be a center of not only cultural engagement, but civic, social, and community activity.

In honor of the A History of Engagement project, the Museum has revived a 1970s partnership program with TriMet to offer free Museum admission June 6-13, 2014. to transit riders who present a valid transit ticket at the Museum box office. For restrictions and details, visit portlandartmuseum.org/sal2014.

11. FIRST IMPRESSIONSDEREK HAMM

ONGOING1ST FLOOR, MAIN BUILDING, ENTRANCE LOBBY

First Impressions will gather two groups of Portland residents who, like him, have never visited the Portland Art Museum. Armed with mobile devices, they will document aspects of the Museum that seem relevant to their initial experience. These images and videos will be displayed in the lobby of the Museum and online to explore public ideas about the Museum and the role of the amateur in curated space.

12. A BOOK FAIR AT THE MUSEUMPUBLIC DOORS AND WINDOWS In collaboration with Amanda Evans, Erik Geschke, Nora Wendl, Maggie Heath, Manon Chaney, Jen Vaughn, Will Elder, Michelle Wood, Hannah Andrews, Nathan Day, Jannine Hanczarek, Katherine Herborn + Caleb Roach, Kate O’Dell + Jason Leighton, Nick Pectol, and Jeff Primozich

ONGOINGLOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE MUSEUM

Twelve book publishers, sellers and authors will participate in a “book fair” at the Portland Art Museum. Students from PSU’s sculpture and architecture programs designed and built sculptural display units for each book fair participating organization. The book fair display units will be dispersed in galleries throughout the Museum. Each organization will have a representative with their display to talk with the public and sell books. Participating book organization participants include: Publication Studio, Ooligan Press, IPRC, King School Press, Microcosm, Know Your City, Ampersand, Reading Frenzy, Portland Art Museum Public Programs books, Julie Ault, Monograph Books, and Container Corps.

13. RADICAL ACCEPTANCETRAVIS SOUZA

ONGOING1ST FLOOR, MAIN BUILDING, SCHNITZER SCULPTURE COURT.

Can a museum visit and its collections be offered to the public as a therapeutically beneficial experience?

Radical Acceptance is a project that appropriates Cognitive and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to create a platform for visitors to engage and relate to the Museum and its collections in a new way. Harnessing the shared benefits of both art and therapy through a guided audio tour, the project offers an emotional and therapeutic experience of the Museum in exchange for the visitor’s own psycho-social investment. Radical Acceptance is a term artist Travis Souza has come to know through his own experience with psychotherapy and living with severe depression. It was coined by Marsha Linehan, herself diagnosed with schizophrenia at age 17, who later in life developed Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), a skills-based psychotherapy that is now widely used by therapists and hospitals to treat a variety of mental illness.

14. ART & BEERERIC STEEN

ONGOINGMUSEUM COURTYARD

Art & Beer is a program that invites local breweries to make beer inspired by artwork from the Museum’s collection. This year artist Eric Steen worked with a number of breweries to make beer after the The Drunken Cobbler, an 18th century painting by Jean-Baptiste Greuze. The painting is on view in the European galleries and is one of the most noted paintings in the collection. Tonight debuts one of the five beers created for this program. This beer was brewed by Evan Taylor, of Widmer Brothers, after he visited the painting a number of times. The beer is a Biere de Garde, a Farmhouse style that is native to France.

To taste all five beers, buy tickets for Art & Beer: The Drunken Cobbler event at the museum on June 13 at 6 p.m. The event is an educational tasting with presentations about the painting, brewing, conservation practices, and the search for yeast in the Museum. Tickets are available on the Museum’s website.

Art & Beer is generously sponsored by both the Young Patrons and the Education Committee of the Portland Art Museum, and by Widmer Brother’s Brewing.

ONGOINGSECRET LOCATION

In 1891, a Sketch Club was founded by several Portland men and women, which led to the eventual formation of what is now the Portland Art Museum. In 1924, a Masonic Temple was built next door to the current home of the Museum. For over 60 years, this Temple was a place of Masonic rituals and events until its purchase by the Museum in the 1990s. In an attempt to highlight and meld these interesting historical aspects, a secret society Sketch Club will be formed and perform free drawing rituals for those selected.

Order of the Free Association is supported by Scout Books.

16. PSYCHIC LANDSCAPE OF THE ART MUSEUMERICA THOMAS

ONGOING1ST FLOOR, MAIN BUILDING, HOFFMAN LOBBY.

Museum visitors are invited to have their cards read by an eighth-generation tarot reader, using a custom deck based on artworks in the Portland Art Museum. Each card spread will serve as the participant’s personalized map of the Museum. Each participant will receive both a map and a copy of the tarot deck. The project encourages Museum visitors to form new and unique relationships between art and their own lives.
