I am so very happy to announce that both my photobook and academic journal article about Managua Vieja are now published! It's been a long stint due to the time-lag of academic publishing, but now they are finally out in the tandem I always envisioned.
This is the final presentation of the urban visual work that I started while living in Managua, Nicaragua in 2008-2010. Flickr and its community have been very important in the development of this work - thank you very much!

Rena Effendi was born in Baku, Azerbaijan, and grew up in the USSR, witnessing her country’s path to independence—one marred by war, political instability, and economic collapse. From the outset, Effendi focused her photography on issues of conflict, social justice, and the oil industry’s effect on people and the environment. Rena was presenting her work to students of Pathshala at the Broadcast studio on 24 December 2017.

Rhonda Vanover: Between Here and Gone
These photographs present a sublime finish to what has been taken away. My mark making invites the viewer to see what I see: beauty at its end. This revolving door is one of continuous loss: a willingness to give in and succumb to the end. My photographs, while not inviting in the conventional sense, are an invitation nonetheless.
I am intrigued by the mundane and the unusual. How object and body are defined. I look at the everyday life that goes by, eventually ending in our own mortality. My interest is to persuade the viewer into this act of looking. To see the essence of what is left behind, oscillating between the real and the memorial.
Combining photographs and installation techniques I seek to create an unresolved tension between presence of object and absence of being. These intentionally disorienting, introspective, and visceral pieces continue the questions I always seek to ask.
Gallery 214
Jeanne Roderick: The Space Between
I am interested in the way looking and seeing work, how viewers bring narratives to their way of looking. The objects I make seek to destabilize expectations of what people imagine or want art works to be. My current work is about how meaning is made, knowledge is transmitted and the relationship of art to culture. Culture is shaped by the structures developed to support our values, including language.
Books and works of art, both considered objects of knowledge in the past, now exist in a digitally connected world chiefly as objects of the search. The current bewildering combination of words and images heaped upon us daily reflect how historical distinctions between art and media and culture are dissolving. Language in this zone is rendered mute and representation is erased and textual structures reduced to blind alleyways.
My work asks that a viewer look closely and spend time with objects that are both recognizable and foreign, formal and narrative, ancient and contemporary while observing the multi-dimensional, infinite spaces and surfaces that shift in color, texture and light. I want to invite the viewer to contemplate social expectations and the constructed “idea” of a work of art as more than the object itself.
Higgins Gallery
Jill Sattler: Haiyan
Through storytelling my art crosses the threshold of animated space, watercolor, sound and community collaboration. I am interested in how we navigate the spaces where we dwell, both domestic and social. Animation allows me to critically investigate this orientation and explore how it affects our experience and understanding of the world. Such investigation not only allows me to analyze why we are oriented in certain ways, it also allows me to determine my own orientation. My art engages with the viewer through animated space to both define and redefine our habitations. I incorporate objects that tie together the threads of the philosophy behind phenomenology while looking at how we can understand our personal orientations towards the world and how we have the power to shift perception.

Using video, performance, and other media, Leung obliquely reinvents the war stories of our time. Pulling inspiration from objects, people, and writing that have been removed from their origins—through the effects of time, circumstance or historical violence—Leung recombines these parts to form new allegories that challenge the received meanings of his source material. A professor at the University of California, Irvine, Leung has exhibited at the Guangzhou Triennial (2008), Luleå Biennial (2005), Venice Biennale (2003), Whitney Biennial (1993), the Museum of Modern Art, Art Institute of Chicago, 1a Space (Hong Kong), NGBK (Berlin).

MFA LRVS Lecture: Marina Zurkow
Jul 29, 2015 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM
The Low-Residency MFA in Visual Studies welcomes Marina Zurkow for a discussion of her work as part of the 2015 Summer Graduate Visiting Artist Lecture Series.
Crossing multiple disciplines with her practice, Marina Zurkow builds animations and participatory environments that are centered on humans and their relationship to animals, plants and the weather. Engaging audiences using film and video, sculpture, print graphics and public interventions, Zurkow’s work is by turns humorous and contemplative. Through the experience of her projects it is clear that nature has long been a stage upon which we project ourselves, making ourselves other.
Zurkow’s recent series “Friends and Enemies” mines the intersection of bias, inclusion, and kinship in our relations with other species. “Necrocracy” reconstructs the role of hydrocarbons in contemporary landscape and questions the inherited Romantic-era division between the natural and the human. “Crossing the Waters” focuses on climate change and considers catastrophe, picturing ways to imagine nature within us, and nature without us.
In 2011 a solo exhibition of Zurkow’s work was featured at the Montclair Art Museum. Past exhibitions of her work have also been featured at FACT, Liverpool; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington D.C.; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; Wave Hill, New York; National Museum for Women in the Arts, Washington D.C.; Bennington College, Vermont; Borusan Collection, Istanbul; Pacific Northwest College of Art, Oregon; Marian Spore, New York; 01SJ Biennial, San Jose; Brooklyn Academy of Music; Museum of the Moving Image, New York; Creative Time, New York; The Kitchen, New York; Ars Electronica, Linz, Austria; Transmediale, Berlin; Eyebeam, New York; Sundance Film Festival, Utah; Rotterdam Film Festival, The Netherlands; and the Seoul Media City Biennial, Korea, among others.

Low-Residency Master of Fine Arts in Visual Studies
Thesis Oral Defense ScheduleClass of 2015
PNCA - 511 NW Broadway Portland, OR - Dorothy Lemelson Innovation Studio
Monday, August 3rd
4:00pm
Liz Randall, Wake, photography installation.
“Wake” uses Liz’s family photos digitally combined with her own photography to retell lost moments experienced over five generations. The installation probes how memories are forgotten, passed down, and retold in the wake of passing time.
5:30pm
Trish Brownlee, About Face, mixed media installation.
Through personal experience and research, Trish Brownlee explores post-9/11 military life in the mixed media artwork exhibited in About Face. This work was created through collaboration between artist and subject and suggests that art is capable of serving as a tool to bridge the gap between military and civilian communities. The exhibit offers a space for open communication and welcomes all who are willing to bear witness. This work serves as a voice for those who too often remain silent.
7:00pm
Alanna Risse, Chasing the Whale, immersive installation.
Chasing the Whale is an immersive installation embracing transformation and humor through the use of the sperm whale as symbolic representation of fear.
Tuesday, August 4th
4:00pm
Dana Rudolph, Omission, mixed media installation.
Through examination of personal history and personal anxiety Dana Rudolph creates memory spaces that are amalgamations of truth and fiction, of time and space, and of past and present. The work is inspired by loss and grief, and documents the physical toll of anxiety.
5:30pm
Judith Hochman, Otherwise, print installation and video.
Otherwise is an installation of multimedia prints on silk and a video projection. The human face in relationship to water is used as a strategy to examine the mutability, vulnerability and unknowability of the Other.
7:00pm
Amanda Wilcox, Poetics of Becoming Art, painting and photography.
Surface and the process of mark making within my work observes moments of beauty and discontent, and is a means of reimagining what could be. My amalgamations of photography, painting and drawing explore the influence of diverse perspectives, contemplative moments and the liminal threshold between two states of being.
