Nov 13th In Dialogue is an occasional series of interdisciplinary, discussion-based seminars that explore art on view at the Museum in relation to works in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences. This fall, we will investigate power and identity through special exhibitions by Josh Kline and Arvie Smith. Kline’s Freedomexamines politicians, protest movements, and surveillance tactics in our digital age. Arvie Smith explores African American experiences of injustice—and the will to resist. Using essays by Ralph Ellison and Sandy Alexandre, this seminar examines how race shapes our vision. We will discuss “the gaze” and “looking” as racialized practices that reveal and distort how we see, and navigate, American society. http://portlandartmuseum.org/event/in-dialogue-11-13-2016/
