RESCHEDULED: Artist Talk and Happy Hour – Blair Saxon-Hill
UPDATE: Due to the weather, tonight’s Artist Talk has been rescheduled.
Please join us next Thursday, November 20, at 6 p.m.
Join artists from a range of disciplines in the galleries for lively conversations about works of art. The talks are followed by a complimentary social hour with libations and snacks in Museum Grounds.
In November’s Artist Talk, Blair Saxon-Hill will discuss Dzunuk’wa Feast Dish, in the Museum’s Native American Art collection. For two years, a photograph featuring this object has hung in Saxon-Hill’s kitchen. Next Thursday, Saxon-Hill will unpack the history of display of this object in the Portland Art Museum as well as within publications.
Blair Saxon-Hill lives and works in Portland and was included in the 2014 Portland Biennial. Her work as an artist crosses over into her work as a curator of books, ephemera and objects. She co-owns an art bookstore in Portland called Monograph Bookwerks. Her work has recently been exhibited at Disjecta, Portland State University, the Hallie Ford Museum of Art, and The Lumber Room. In 2013, she received a Ford Family Foundation Golden Spot Award and an Oregon Arts Commission Grant, and was short-listed for the Henry Art Gallery’s Brink Award.
