season schedule (2025 - 2026)
To end the 2025 - 2026 season of First Saturday PDX, ​we will visit the Betty and John Soreng Gallery and the Coeta and Donald Barker Changing Exhibitions Gallery in the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art (JSMA)  at the University of Oregon, Eugene accompanied by the curators of the exhibits below.  We will also have access to JSMA's insightful collection of Korean and Japanese art galleries.  
Power and Performance:  Impressions of Chinese Secular and Religious Art and Customs
Picture
Picture
Picture
This presentation of works from the museum’s Chinese collection explores the issues of power and performance in four sections: politics, textile, religion, and funeral art, along with a recently acquired Twenty-Four Seasons scroll by renowned contemporary artist Qiu Zhijie (born 1969) that draws connections across cultural and historical boundaries. The exhibition presents objects symbolizing political and religious power, such as textiles, bronze vessels, funerary art, and calligraphy from the imperial period, Republican times (1912-1949), and the People's Republic of China (1949-present). Highlights are a Han-dynasty (206 BCE-220 CE) funerary figurine once adorned with silk clothing, a late Qing-dynasty (1644‐1912) woman’s court robe, a calligraphic inscription by Emperor Yongzheng (1678-1735, reigned 1722-1735), and a rare ceremonial outfit from the brief revival of imperial power during the early republic. Propaganda posters and woodblock prints celebrate revolutionary performances, contrasted by impressions of people's reality in the works of Hung Liu (1948-2021), Ma Han (born 1968), and other contemporary artists.
This exhibition was co-curated by Professor Ina Asim (Department of History), Professor Mariachiara Gasparini (Department of the History of Art and Architecture), and Dr. Yan Geng (Curator of Contemporary and Traditional Chinese Art) at the University of Oregon.

This is a special exhibition in the Donald Barker Changing Exhibitions Gallery ​that introduces the main forms, concepts, meanings, and living traditions of Himalayan art. The exhibition features sublime religious art created from the 13th through the 21st centuries in Tibet, Nepal, China, and Mongolia, drawn from the permanent collection of the Rubin Museum of Himalayan Art, which organized the exhibition. 
At the start of the exhibition, a multimedia map orients visitors to the greater Himalayan region, which encompasses Indian, Nepalese, Bhutanese, and Tibetan cultures as well as interrelated Mongolian and Chinese traditions. Gateway to Himalayan Art invites exploration of these diverse cultural spheres through exemplary objects presented in three thematic sections: Symbols and Meanings, Materials and Technologies, and Living Practices. Traditional scroll paintings (thangkas), sculptures in various media, and ritual items comprise the diverse range of objects on view. 
This traveling exhibition is organized and provided by the Rubin Museum of Himalayan Art and curated by Senior Curator of Himalayan Art Elena Pakhoutova.
