cars and horses

As the ages come and go, our methods of getting around may change completely. Gone are the days of horse drawn carriages and soon our conception of the car may also change as we head towards more ecologically sound inventions.

Mankind's relationship with its mode of transport has always been one of deep meaning. It is through transport that we have been able to communicate, meet, share ideas and develop as a society. Far from being a dull necessity, these things are packed with beauty and aesthetic pleasures; who could deny wonder of the cool crisp lines of a vintage Jag? Who would ever disagree that the horse is one of nature's most handsom animals?

These paintings explore the issues, images and purpose of these two important parts of our history, showing off the intricate beauty and endless possibilities of movement and interaction.

New Museum Member Benefit and Exciting Summer Programs

The Portland Art Museum is pleased to introduce a travel program as a new and exciting benefit of general membership. The inaugural trip to San Francisco, October 6-9, 2011, features an unforgettable 4-day itinerary exploring the robust art scene thriving in San Francisco, packed with cultural insights via behind-the-scenes tours of museums, galleries, and local treasures. The tour also features a day excursion to the nearby Napa Valley where the group will explore the vast di Rosa art preserve, enjoy lunches and tastings at renowned vineyards, and visit the Hess Collection, an outstanding private art collection and winery.

Spaces on the tour are limited. For more information and to check availability, contact Jennifer Jacobs of The Jacobs Group | Arts Consulting & Creative Travel at 503-922-2863.

 
Events Not to Miss
 
Automobile Autopsy Tour
Sunday, July 10, 2 p.m.
Join Kelley Styring, author of In Your Car: Road Trip Through the American Automobile, as she discusses today's automotive lifestyle. During her road trip across the country, Kelley interviewed numerous car owners, cataloguing every item found inside their vehicles.

$3 members; $3 non-members. Tickets are required and available in advance online and on site. Seating is limited. Lecture tickets must be purchased with The Allure of the Automobile admission tickets for the same day as the lecture. Both tickets must be presented at the door.


Artist Talks & Tours: John Grade & Megan Murphy
Friday, July 15
6 p.m. Lecture; 6:45 p.m. Tour

Join Seattle artist John Grade--the winner of the prestigious $10,000 Arlene Schnitzer Prize--and Contemporary Northwest Art Award recipient Megan Murphy as they talk about their work and lead a tour of the exhibition.

A longtime Northwest resident, Grade has traveled extensively and his exposure to diverse cultures has deeply shaped his artistic vision. The land, and its propensity for change, has had a profound effect on his work. His often massive, site-related constructions involve the passage of time and performance while engaging natural elements and random change to ultimately complete his sculptural works.

$5 members; $12 non-members. Space is limited to the first 45 ticket holders. Advance tickets available online and on site.

Mildred Pierce's Todd Haynes and Christine Vachon Visit the Northwest Film Center
 
Sunday, July 24, 7 p.m.
This month, the Northwest Film Center welcomes two of the most accomplished names in contemporary cinema, filmmaker Todd Haynes and producer Christine Vachon, to the Whitsell Auditorium. Portland resident and Hollywood heavyweight, Haynes has been hailed as one of cinema's most eloquent voices with a unique body of work including Safe (1995), Velvet Goldmine (1998), Far From Heaven (2002), I'm Not There (2007), and, most recently, the HBO miniseries Mildred Pierce (2011). In addition to producing all of Haynes' feature work, Vachon's producing résumé includes such diverse films as Happiness (Todd Solondz, 1998), Boys Don't Cry (Kimberly Peirce, 1999), and The Company (Robert Altman, 2003). Together, Haynes and Vachon will discuss their work and converse with the audience about the intersections of art, commerce, and collaboration in the world of independent film.

On Saturday, July 23, the Film Center screens Todd Haynes' Mildred Pierce in its entirety. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit nwfilm.org.
