Carl Morris' History of Religions
McCosh Fellow Curator Danielle Knapp leads an exhibition tour of the History of Religions mural series created by artist Carl Morris.
Carl Morris: History of Religions
December 21, 2012 to January 20, 2013
Carl Morris (1911--93) was born in Yorba Linda, California, and received his early art education from master ceramicist Glen Lukens (American, 1887--1967). Upon seeing José Clemente Orozco (Mexican, 1883--1949) at work on his fresco mural Prometheus at Pomona College in 1930, Morris dedicated himself to painting. He studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago from 1931 to 1933, before receiving fellowships to paint in France and Austria. After his return to the United States, Morris was hired as director of the new Spokane Arts Center and was later awarded a Public Works of Art Project commission for two murals in the Eugene Post Office (still extant). This significant achievement convinced Morris and his wife, sculptor Hilda Grossman (American, 1911--91), to settle permanently in Portland, though both maintained ties to their artistic circles in Grossman's hometown of New York City. At mid-century, as he moved away from figurative art and his style became increasingly abstract, Morris continued to draw his inspiration from the geography and atmosphere of the Pacific Northwest.
In 1959, Morris was commissioned to create these nine large paintings depicting 100 years of religious history for the Oregon Centennial Exposition and International Trade Fair in Portland. Morris, concerned about how to sensitively and accurately represent nearly 200 faith traditions active in the state, focused on what he identified as one common element: the intersection of light and man. He was given only eight weeks to complete the series of paintings before they were installed in the Expo's Hall of Religions, a ten-sided building designed by architect Ken Richardson in which visitors would be surrounded by the murals. The results of his labor, which evoke the religious experience in Oregon through bold color, expressive gesture, and Morris's characteristic luminosity, are considered some of the painter's finest work.
The History of Religions series was acquired by the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art after the Oregon Centennial Exposition ended and has only been shown once, in 2007, since its inaugural exhibition in 1959. In 2010, the JSMA was the recipient of an IMLS American Heritage Preservation Grant for conservation of the murals.
Why Aren't There More Black People in Oregon? A Hidden History
A Conversation with Walidah Imarisha
Have you ever wondered why the Black population in Oregon is so small? Oregon has a history not only of Black exclusion and discrimination, but also of a vibrant Black culture that helped sustain many communities throughout the state—a history that is not taught in schools. Join Portland State University author and adjunct professor Walidah Imarisha for this free conversation, organized for the closing week of Emancipating the Past. This program is made possible by the generous support of the JSMA, the Office of the Vice President for Equity and Inclusion and the Division of Student Affairs at University of Oregon, with additional support from the Eugene Public Library.

In conjunction with Lynda Lanker's Tough By Nature: Portraits of Cowgirls and Ranch Women of the American West, the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art hosted a panel of ranch women and cowgirls who shared their personal stories.
Jonnie Jonckowski (born 1954) is widely considered to be one of the best bull riders to have competed on the international circuit, male or female. She became the Women's World Champion Bullrider in 1986 and again in 1988. Jonckowski succeeded in persuading officials to allow women's bull riding at Cheyenne Frontier Days in 1988, after a fifty-two-year absence of women riding rough stock. Jonckowski was inducted into the Cowgirl Hall of Fame in 1991. She is proudest of her success in re-establishing women's presence in rough stock events at rodeos.

MOHAU MODISAKENG: PASSAGE
May 11, 2019 to August 04, 2019
This three-channel video, South Africa’s entry in the 2017 Venice Biennale, meditates on slavery’s impact dismemberment of African identity. In Setswana, the experience of life is referred to as a “passage.” The Setswana word for life, botshelo, means “to cross over,” and people are bafeti (voyagers), a recognition that the experience of life is transient; it has a beginning and an end, as with any voyage.
In each of the artwork’s three projections, we are confronted with a character – a woman with a hawk perched on her arm, a young man in a Trilby hat, and a woman wrapped in a Basotho blanket. The arched shape of the boat frames each passenger with their heads pointed towards the prow; each travels with a single possession. As the passengers lie motionless on their backs looking up at the sky, they perform a series of actions that move between gestures of struggle and resignation. A pool of water slowly forms beneath their bodies. The rising water gradually floods the well of the boat, eventually leaving the passengers submerged while the boat slowly sinks and eventually disappears. The ebb and flow of water, as both life giving and deadly, symbolizes the many who have arrived or departed from South Africa in trade, as cargo or as transient bodies belonging to no particular state.
Panel: Land Use and Preservation
Adell L. Amos, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and an Associate Professor in the Environmental and Natural Resources Law Program moderates a discussion on ranching and environmental issues with panelists Gerda Hyde, Billie Roney and Lois Stevenson, in conjunction with Lynda Lanker's Tough By Nature: Portraits of Cowgirls and Ranch Women of the American West.
Gerda Hyde (born 1930) owns and operates the 5000-acre Yamsi Ranch near Chiloquin, Oregon. A recipient of the 1992 Alexander Calder Conservation Award, she and her family have long been proponents of using environmental protection and habitat conservation to raise chemical-free beef. Yamsi Ranch is a multigenerational operation, involving the efforts of Hyde's sons and eight of her seventeen grandchildren.
One of Billie Redemeyer Roney's (born 1952) first memories is taking apart carburetors with her dad. She was something of a tomboy, growing up on the Roney Ranch in Chico, California. That changed—a little bit at least—when she eased into her teenage years and became a town-and-country model. Today, she lives on a working cattle ranch. She takes seriously the impact of politics and public policy on her way of life and works as an advocate for the ranching community, serving on an agriculture council through her local Chamber of Commerce and lobbying in Sacramento. She also works on curriculum development with faculty members in the agriculture department at the university. She spent a month in the Middle East under the auspices of the Agriculture Educational Foundation—leadership training. I would go back there in a second, she says.
Lois Stevenson (born 1928) owns and operates Knee Deep Cattle Company outside of Eugene, Oregon.

Museum of Natural and Cultural History 75 Years
MNCH -- Celebrating Our 75th Anniversary!
The University of Oregon's Museum of Natural and Cultural History protects significant collections, enhances knowledge, and encourages stewardship of human and natural history through research, preservation, and education.
The Museum of Natural and Cultural History (MNCH) is Oregon's primary repository for anthropological and paleontological collections. Officially created in 1935-36, as the Oregon State Museum of Anthropology and UO Museum of Natural History, the museum is celebrating its 75th birthday in 2010-11. It has its roots in 1876, however, when Thomas Condon joined the University of Oregon (UO) as one of its first three professors. Hired as a professor of natural history, Condon brought an extensive fossil collection to the UO, later known as the Condon Museum or Condon Collection. Today, as the premier natural and cultural history museum in the State of Oregon, the MNCH houses nearly 1 million ethnographic and archaeological objects and almost 100,000 fossils and biological specimens from Oregon, the Pacific Northwest, and around the world. With over 50 employees, the museum is a center of interdisciplinary research, preservation, and education.
ART HEALS
ART HEALS
The Jordan Schnitzer Museums of Art’s most innovative and expansive program is Art Heals, and we join a national trend among museums to improve health care and patient care through our educational programs. Studies nationwide confirm that programs like Art Heals improve medical training and better the lives of those facing daunting health issues.
Art Heals encompasses a range of health care services:
• We use Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) to teach OHSU medical students how to analyze visual cues more deeply so they come better diagnosticians. We ask them to describe what they see and explain why they came to that conclusion, if there’s more going on and what that might mean. We ask them to share their responses and listen to other perspectives, and in that give-and-take, they increase their listening skills and empathy. We help them become better doctors.
• We offer art-making workshops at hospitals and community centers in Eugene, Corvallis, and elsewhere in the state for cancer patients, those who have experienced brain injuries and loss of family members.
• We created Reflections and Connections, a conversation based art workshop for individuals with young-onset or early to mid-stage dementia and their care partners, centered around JSMA collections and exhibitions. Created in partnership with the Alzheimer’s Association of Oregon and Southwest Washington, the program launched in 2018 and will continue indefinitely.
• We partner with Imagination International, Inc., on a “Tracing Memories” workshop for people with early onset dementia.
• We offer workshops for veterans with PTSD and university students determined to overcome drug and alcohol addiction.
