RSVP for the upcoming lecture, Lessons from the Work of Marsha Maytum, FAIA, on October 14 at the College of Design. Bill Leddy will lead a poignant presentation on the works of Marsha Maytum and we hope to see you here in Eugene. 

In an era of unprecedented change and challenge, Marsha Maytum, FAIA, helped to redefine the role of the architect in society. She believed that we can no longer afford to be simply form makers — we must learn to focus the transformative power of design and advocacy to lead our communities toward a just, resilient, carbon-neutral future for all. Design & Advocacy is a compendium of lessons learned during a nearly half-century career devoted to making the world a better place.

Join us in Eugene at the College of Design on October 14 starting at 5 pm for a rousing lecture followed by refreshments in Lawrence Hall's Hayden Gallery. We hope to see you there!

William Leddy, FAIA, is a Founding Principal of San Francisco-based LEDDY MAYTUM STACY Architects (LMSA), the 2017 recipient of the national American Institute of Architects Firm Award. For over three decades he has been a national leader in the design of environments that promote social justice, inclusion, and urgent climate action.  LMSA has received over 175 regional, national and international design awards and has been recognized by numerous organizations including the American Institute of Architects, the French Institute of Architects, the Norwegian Association of Architects, the U.S. Department of Energy, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the National Building Museum. LMSA is one of only three firms in the nation to have received twelve or more national AIA Committee on the Environment Top Ten Green Project awards – the Institute’s highest recognition of integrated design excellence. Leddy has lectured widely and served as visiting professor at the Southern California Institute of Architecture and the California College of the Arts, as the Howard A. Friedman Visiting Professor at the University of California, Berkeley, and the Pietro Belluschi Distinguished Visiting Professor at the University of Oregon. His 2010 design for the Ed Roberts Campus in Berkeley, California - an international center for the Disabled Rights Movement - is widely recognized as a national landmark of advanced Universal Design at a civic scale. The simple, replicable UD design strategies developed at the ERC have been applied to all the firm’s projects since, creating inviting public spaces that welcome everyone regardless of age or ability.  

LMSA’s new book - “Practice with Purpose: A Guide to Mission Driven Design” - was published in 2023.

University of Oregon Visiting Artist Lecture Series

Presented by the Department of Art and Center for Art Research

Tyler Hays is an American artist, born and raised in northeastern Oregon. He received his BFA in painting at the university of Oregon in 1994. Throughout his life, he has worked creatively and professionally in a wide array of mediums—from painting, food, music, and furniture, to ceramics, metalwork, fashion, and architecture—with a through-line focus on material science and engineering. He often says the true unifying subject of his work is finding the lines between things. “The harder you look, the more similar everything becomes, and the more difficult it is to know where to stop.” Much of the art, for Hays, is the alchemy of finding these connections.

Tyler hays grew up with a strong desire to make everything in his universe from scratch. This foundational impulse started very young— sewing and cooking, taking apart his toys—and followed him to art school, where he mixed his own paints and made his paint brushes from scratch with hand-pounded silver ferrules. His interests and fluencies are surprisingly expansive yet always centered around the same soup-to-nuts compulsion and fetish-level research into the deconstruction of objects down to their elements. While painting continues to be his primary and most consistent medium, Hays has become best known as the creative force behind the enigmatic company BDDW, which has maintained galleries in New York, London, and Los Angeles. BDDW continues to be the exclusive retailer and auction house of his furniture, art, and objects. Tyler lives and works between Philadelphia, New York, and Oregon.

This lecture is made possible by the Davis Family Endowed Fund in Art.

Working across painting, sculpture, and video, Hubbard’s diverse practice references art history and extends the prescribed characteristics of his chosen mediums. His video works are composed like paintings — a flattened plane onto which a series of actions unfold — and render visible the performative nature of the artistic process. They feature sequences of simple acts of creation and destruction, often executed in a slapstick manner. In Collapse of the Expanded Field (2007) the viewer watches as the artist’s hands swiftly assemble a still life of flowers, chops off each bud stem by stem, and smashes the glass vase with a hammer until the constructed scene is wholly decimated and transformed. The evolving layered compositions present a visual cacophony that is the result of both deliberate gestures and aleatory effects. 

Alex Hubbard (b. 1975 Toledo, Oregon) received a BFA from Pacific Northwest College of Art, Portland in 1999. In 2003 he attended the Whitney Museum Independent Study Program, New York. Works by the artist are featured in the collections of numerous institutions, including Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago; Colección Jumex, Mexico City; FRAC Corsica, Corte; FRAC Poitu-Charentes, Angoulême; Henry Art Gallery, Seattle; Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami; National Gallery of Victoria, Victoria; Seattle Art Museum, Seattle; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; Marciano Art Foundation, Los Angeles; The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; University of Chicago, Chicago; and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. A publication of the artist’s work, Eat Your Friends, was published in 2015 by DoPe Press, and features a conversation with Hubbard and Debra Singer along with texts by Tan Lin and Jay Sanders. He lives and works in Los Angeles.

Susan Campbell Hall Graduate Student Lounge

Are you a graduate student seeking employment in academia, but is also open to exploring opportunities beyond academia? Or are you interested in something in between, that is, academia-adjacent prospects? Academia-adjacent jobs refer to positions that are closely related to the academic field but may not involve traditional faculty roles. These jobs can include research positions in think tanks, policy analysis, educational consulting, departmental administration, roles in non-profit organizations, and positions in industry that value advanced research skills and knowledge. They often allow graduates to apply their expertise in a broader context while still engaging with the academic community.

Join in to unpack these topics, brainstorm together and strategize ways to enhance your ability to articulate your portable and transferable skills while leveraging your existing networks. Register at this link

University of Oregon Visiting Artist Lecture Series

Presented by the Department of Art and Center for Art Research

In 2024, Rivers Institute for Contemporary Art & Thought opened the exhibition, Tina Girouard: SIGN-IN--the first comprehensive retrospective for the Louisiana-born artist, Tina Girouard (1946-2020). Moving between genres and geographies, Girouard invested objecthood with meaning through ritual, performance, role-playing, and community participation. From the 1970s until her death, Girouard played a galvanizing role in the founding and development of communities and organizations, including the Anarchitecture Group, the interdisciplinary cohort of 112 Greene Street, FOOD restaurant, The Kitchen, P.S. 1, the Festival International de la Louisiane, and as a collaborator in artist communities in Louisiana, New York, and Haiti. Her practice indelibly shaped community-engaged, feminist, craft, textile, performance, and video art of the last century and invested New York’s avant-garde of the 1960s and 1970s with ritual and vernacular knowledge of the American and global south. And yet, Girouard’s practice has been largely erased from canonical histories of the avant-garde. This lecture places Girouard and her fellow female collaborators at the center of major philosophical shifts in postwar American art, and points to the archives as a site of her defiant, radical praxis of care. 

Jordan Amirkhani is Curator and Head of Research and Project Development at Rivers Institute for Contemporary Art & Thought—a non-profit organization based in New Orleans, Louisiana committed to research and publishing, exhibitions and convenings on art of the global diaspora. Prior to taking on these roles, Amirkhani held academic positions at American University in Washington, DC, and the University of Tennessee in Chattanooga, TN. Recent curatorial projects include Tina Girouard: SIGN-IN (2024)Helen Cammock: I Will Keep My Soul (2023)Troy Montes Michie: Rock of Eye (2022)Yto Barrada: Ways to Baffle the Wind (2021), co-curated with Andrea Andersson; and the2021 Atlanta Biennial: Of Care and Destruction. Amirkhani has written scholarship and essays on the work of historical and contemporary artists such as Tina Girouard, Helen Cammock, Wendy Red Star, Sheida Soleimani, Soheila Sokhanvari, Farkhondeh Shahroudi, Vesna Pavlović, and the British collective Art + Practice. Her work has been featured in many national and international publications, including: The Paris Review DailyArtforumArt in AmericaBaltimore ArtsBoston Art ReviewX-TraMousse, and Burnaway.org. Her emphasis on contextualizing contemporary art and artists working in the American South garnered her a prestigious Creative Capital/Andy Warhol Foundation “Short-Form” Writing Grant in 2017 and three nominations for The Rabkin Prize in Arts Journalism in 2017, 2018, and 2019. 

This lecture is made possible by the Critical Conversations program, a partnership between the Ford Family Foundation and the University of Oregon Department of Art's Center for Art Research with Reed College’s Douglas F. Cooley Memorial Art Gallery, Pacific Northwest College of Art, and Portland State University.

Ask a recruiter what career readiness skills you can be building now to make you a top candidate in the present or future (and add them to your Linkedin network for future connections!). You want to find a job, internship, year of service, volunteer opportunity, and more! If you're actively job searching, have your resume ready to hand out and a short and sweet synopsis about yourself and your professional interests ready to go! If you're just exploring options, collect contact info, do some additional research, and do an informational interview to learn more before you apply. You want to build your confidence! Practice asking questions of employers AND sharing about who you are and what you're passionate about.  Every expo you attend and each time you approach a recruiter, you get more and more comfortable presenting yourself in a professional manner.

WHO'S COMING? Find your career fit with over 70+ employers comprised of private industry; public, educational, and non-profit organizations; local government, the federal government, law enforcement, and military--ALL on campus and excited to share more with you about their organization and early career talent opportunities. Open to students from ALL majors, classifications, and identities. Every expo looks a little different so come each term to keep exploring and expanding your career opportunities!

WHAT NEXT? Register for the Expo on Handshake today to learn about all the companies coming, and positions of interest you can be researching. We'll also send you tips and advice for how to make the most of the expo, including Career Readiness Week workshops like our Resume Extravaganza so you can have a great resume to hand to potential employers!
