University of Oregon 2026-27 Visiting Artist Lecture Series Presented by the Department of Art and Center for Art Research

In 2024, Aruna D'Souza published Imperfect Solidarities, a short book about artworks and practices that offer, in direct and indirect ways, examples of being in solidarity in ways that preserve individual and collective sovereignties. These moments in contemporary art—including those by Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Stephanie Syjuco, Candice Breitz, and the feminist collective AIR Gallery in New York—allowed Souza to imagine creating momentary alliances in space with the goal of preserving and nurturing life, first and above all. This talk will add to that roster, drawing on artists and collectives around the world who allow us to envision a solidarity that does not require subsuming self in other, or absorbing other in self—an especially urgent project in a moment of rising global fascism.

Aruna D'Souza writes about modern and contemporary art, intersectional feminisms, and diasporic aesthetics.  Her work appears regularly in 4Columns, The New York Times, Hyperallergic, and in numerous artist’s monographs and exhibition catalogues. Whitewalling: Art, Race, and Protest in 3 Acts was named one of the best art books of 2018 by the New York Times. Recent editorial projects include Linda Nochlin’s Making It Modern: Essays on the Art of the Now and Lorraine O’Grady’s Writing in Space 1973-2018; she co-curated the retrospective “Lorraine O’Grady: Both/And” at the Brooklyn Museum in 2021. She is the recipient of the 2021 Rabkin Prize for art journalism and a 2019 Andy Warhol Foundation Art Writers Grant. She was appointed the Edmond J. Safra Visiting Professor at the National Gallery of Art in 2022, and the W.W. Corcoran Professor of Social Engagement at the Corcoran School of Art, George Washington University, in 2022-2023. Her most recent book Imperfect Solidarities was published in 2024.

This lecture is made possible by Critical Conversations, a platform for dialogue and inquiry that supports established artists and writers across Oregon. Developed in partnership between The Ford Family Foundation and the University of Oregon’s Center for Art Research, this initiative engages contemporary art spaces, statewide, to host prominent visiting curators and arts writers for studio visits, public lectures and community engagement.

Please join the UO Portland Architecture Program on Monday, October 26 (5:30pm) at Highland Hall for a talk by Matt Franks, Associate Principal and Senior Lighting Designer at Arup. This event in the School of Architecture & Environment’s Fall Lecture Series is free and open to the public. DESCRIPTION

Museums have long grappled with a fundamental tension: the desire to experience art in natural light and the need to protect it from harm. This talk explores how architects, curators, and lighting designers have navigated that challenge, creating some of the world's most memorable museum spaces. Drawing from several notable museum projects, we’ll examine the evolving role of daylight in shaping the museum visitor experience. BIO

Matt Franks is an Associate Principal and Senior Lighting Consultant with Arup, where he leads lighting and daylighting design for projects that enhance the architectural character of space, support occupant wellbeing, and advance sustainability goals. With more than 25 years of experience, Matt has delivered award-winning projects across the cultural, education, workplace, civic, and healthcare sectors.  Recognized for his expertise in museums, galleries, and arts and culture facilities, Matt has led lighting and daylighting design for internationally recognized projects including the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, Buffalo AKG Art Museum, Glenstone, the Corning Museum of Glass, Harvard Art Museums, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. He combines deep knowledge of the effects of daylight and electric lighting with advanced simulation and analytical techniques to develop lighting approaches that are seamlessly integrated with architecture.

The 32nd  Annual Student Jewelry Sale will be held in the lobby of Lawrence Hall, by the dean’s office. 

Students of the Jewelry and Metalsmithing program in the Department of Art will present inventive jewelry using traditional and nontraditional materials. Each student is responsible for the design and fabrication of at least 12 pieces of jewelry including rings, earrings, pendants, brooches, etc. that range in complexity and price with most being sold starting at $30 and upwards. All sale proceeds will provide funding for guest lectures, studio equipment, and other student support within the program. 

The sale has enjoyed immense success in past years. Be sure to mark your calendar and arrive early! 

For further information, please contact Valerie Ho, Visiting Assistant Professor, Jewelry and Metalsmithing, vho@uoregon.edu

The Oregon Humanities Center presents a wine chat with Professor Eleonora Redaelli.

Who actually keeps American culture alive? We tend to picture artists, scholars, and museums — but a quiet, tangled web of federal, state, and local government has shaped the country’s cultural life for decades, usually without anyone noticing. Drawing on her book, Invisible Cultural Policy in America, Professor Eleonora Redaelli will trace how this patchwork system emerged, the debates that shaped how we think about arts, humanities, and historic preservation, and what it looks like on the ground — from Oregon to Minnesota, Maryland, and New Mexico.  

Join Professor Redaelli and the Oregon Humanities Center for a thoughtful discussion of this matter. Doors open at 5 p.m. Beverages and food will be available for purchase and light refreshments will be provided. There is ample parking at Banner Bank across the street. This event is free and open to the public. Please register at ohc.oregon.edu.
