Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art (JSMA) - Harold and Arlene Schnitzer Gallery · Eugene
For nearly a century, the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art has provided students, faculty, and the broader community opportunities to connect with works of art across time periods and cultures. Initially founded in 1933 as an Asian art museum with the generous donation of Gertrude Bass Warner’s collection of over 3,700 works of art, the museum’s collecting interests have since broadened to artworks from around the world that provide even more opportunities for cross-cultural and curricular connections. JSMA began collecting American and regional art in the 1960s, and now stewards work by artists from the United States, Mesoamerica, contemporary Mexico, Cuba, Puerto Rico, and other areas of the Caribbean and across the Americas. With our recent acquisitions, the museum aims to reflect the voices and experiences of diverse audiences and the new and evolving ideas, insights, and conversations presented by artists in work that both shapes and responds to culture. Collecting America: Recent Acquisitions presents a selection of artworks from the museum’s permanent collection that demonstrate our commitment to understandings of American art informed by perspectives from local, national, and internationally recognized artists. Through various materials and practices, the featured artists demonstrate the great diversity of art made in or in response to the United States of America. These works invite viewers to participate in conversations on identity, place, politics, and other issues facing our world today. This exhibition is organized by JSMA executive director Olivia Miller and curators Katie Loney, Danielle Knapp, and Thom Sempere, with graduate student interns Aidyn Dervaes (MA candidate, History of Art and Architecture), Parisa Garazhian (MFA candidate, Studio Art), and Lorna Isaacson (MA candidate, History of Art and Architecture).

Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art (JSMA) - Wan Koo and Young Ja Huh Wing and Jin Joo Gallery of Korean Art · Eugene
Navigating Through Centuries surveys the complex trajectory of art in Korea, which was significantly impacted by socio-political upheaval and cultural developments from the fifth century to the present. The exhibition is comprised of six chronological thematic sections — from the power and religion of the Three Kingdoms period (57 BCE–668 CE), to the refined aristocratic ideals of the Goryeo (918–1392) and Confucian governance of the Joseon (1392–1910) dynasties, through vestiges of tradition after the Korean War (1950–1953), experimental practices during the modern era, and globalization of contemporary art. Each section examines how aesthetic practices respond to the evolving philosophies, ideologies, critical events, and issues of a specific historical period. The exhibition begins with materials from the Three Kingdoms period in which are embedded political/religious authority and communal rituals, laying the foundation for Korean cultural memory. The Goryeo dynasty section highlights the refined aesthetics and Buddhist motifs that reflect aristocratic ideals and literati culture, while also indicating Korea’s participation in East Asian cultural exchange. The Joseon section showcases art that embodies the Confucian literati values that fundamentally shaped the moral order, governance, and cultural life of the period. The modern and contemporary sections focus on twentieth-century art, which has continually questioned, responded to, and been shaped by the last tumultuous century of Korean history. The first postwar section features art that portrays the remnants of indigenous culture in the aftermath of the Korean War. The next section presents experimental works by artists who challenged the canon of art by blurring boundaries of cultures, genres, and mediums. The final section showcases global contemporary art by diasporic creators, many of whom have played central roles in integrating Korean art into the international mainstream. Navigating Through Centuries narrates the conflicted yet intertwined relationships between art and culture, individuals and communities, and socio-politics and history, inviting audiences to consider the broad history of Korea through the lens of art. The exhibition was curated by Soojin Jeong, 2023–2026 Post-Graduate Curatorial Fellow in East Asian Art, as well as Heejung Chang, 2025–2026 JSMA/Korea Foundation Global Challengers Museum Intern.

The pieces demonstrate the mastery of these artists in mediums such as etching, mezzotint, oil painting, woodblock printmaking, and watercolor.

Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art (JSMA) - Fay Boyer Preble and Virginia Cooke Murphy Wing · Eugene
This thematic exhibition incorporates student research from History of Art and Architecture Professor Akiko Walley’s spring 2026 Japanese print course that focused on “the dramatic,” including dynamic prints of Kabuki theaters and actors, changing expressions of human bodies, and dramatizations of historical events and legends. Featuring recent gifts by Lee and Mary Jean Michels and Irwin Lavenberg, the undergraduate and graduate students in the course examined woodblock prints of the 18th-20th centuries that showcased action and powerful emotion with compelling graphic design. The exhibition is complemented by a selection of Japanese modern and contemporary prints, paintings, textiles, decorative arts, addressing the theme of “drama,” and includes a number of recent acquisitions. This exhibition was coorganized by chief curator Anne Rose Kitagawa.
Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art (JSMA) - Coeta and Donald Barker Changing Exhibitions Gallery · Eugene
Jeffrey Gibson: They Teach Love presents a survey of 20 artworks by Jeffrey Gibson (American, b. 1972), one of today’s foremost contemporary artists, curated exclusively from the collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and his family foundation. Gibson, who is of Mississippi Choctaw and Cherokee heritage, combines aspects of Indigenous art and culture with modernist traditions, navigating and disrupting the expectations placed upon Native artists working within the contemporary art world. By uniting sculpture, paintings, prints, and video with elk hides, tipi poles, wool blankets, beadwork, and fringe, Gibson celebrates the artistry of Indigenous cultures. He adorns and converts utilitarian items (including punching bags, flags, banners, and illuminated signs) to art objects that vibrate with spiritual power, carrying his belief that objects, and people alike, have the potential for radical transformation. The exhibition’s centerpiece is an expansive and immersive work titled To Name An Other (2019) comprised of 51 screen printed elk hide drums and 50 wearable garments. Originally commissioned as a performance by the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery, To Name An Other marks a turning point in the artist’s career whereby Gibson has increasingly sought out collective-based projects and performances to activate the communities within which he works. Collaboration is at the heart of his recent social practice. Working and learning together may aid in decolonizing minds and institutions, revealing a future we wish to inhabit. In 2024, Gibson was selected as the first Indigenous artist to represent the US Pavilion with a solo presentation at the Venice Biennale, further demonstrating how his vibrant and powerful voice continues to broaden the view of American art history, contemporary times, and our future. Jeffrey Gibson: They Teach Love – From the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation was curated by Ryan Hardesty, Executive Director and Curator of Exhibitions and Collections, Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art, Washington State University, for its originating institution in 2023. Its presentation for the UO’s Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art was organized by Danielle Knapp, McCosh Curator.
Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art (JSMA) - Fay Boyer Preble and Virginia Cooke Murphy Wing · Eugene
The exhibition Leading the Camino: Latinx Art by Juan de Dios Mora and Consuelo Jimenez Underwood, features prints and textiles by Mora and Jimenez Underwood that question borders and embrace living in the “borderlands.” Mora adopts figuration and humor to resist homogenization and contest political rhetoric that criminalizes immigrants. He employs Spanglish and popular motifs such as piñatas, luchadores masks, and Mesoamerican iconography to reflect his lived experiences and connect cultures across time and space. In his print Leading the Camino Maya and Aztec symbols are juxtaposed with tacos and technology exemplifying Gloria Anzaldúa’s notion of the borderlands or sites where a variety of traditions, languages, and ways of being come into contact, overlapping and interacting, to nourish and inform each other. Jimenez Underwood embraces textiles to similarly cross borders and honor her hybrid identity as Chicana, Mexicana, Americana, Indigenous, woman, and artist. Her artworks bridge art and craft to examine geo-political barriers and weave together bodies and traditions from past and present. The exhibition is curated by Adriana Miramontes Olivas, Curator of Academic Programs and Latin American and Caribbean Art.

***Olga Volchkova: Forest Communities*** **October 14 – November 28, 2026** Artist Reception with Olga Volchkova: Friday, October 16th, 5:30-7:30 p.m. *Remarks by the artist at 6 p.m.* First Friday ArtWalk: November 6th, 5:30-7:30 p.m. Gallery Hours: Wednesday-Friday 12:00 p.m. - 5:30 p.m., Saturday 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Karin Clarke Gallery is pleased to present *Forest Communities*, a large exhibition of new paintings by beloved Eugene artist and nature advocate, **Olga Volchkova**. With her training in Eastern Orthodox iconography and traditional icon painting, Volchkova celebrates the communities of native plants and animals found in the Pacific Northwest and calls attention to the interconnections between flora, fauna and humankind. This selection, thrilling for art- and nature-enthusiasts alike, features eighteen new works and is notable for its variety of approaches to its subject matter. The pieces in this series vary in size and include, for the first time, a taller vertical format. Prints of the artist’s new and previous work are also available. Volchkova has for many years been renewing the highly codified genre of Russian Orthodox icon painting, in effect subverting and reappropriating its iconography to canonize plants and nature’s living creatures, while remaining mostly true to the style and techniques of this religious artform, which she studied formally. The passion for plants and botany that inspires her work is rooted in her experience of rural life, her own gardening, and in the precise observation of the bounties of nature while hiking in Oregon. Volchkova isn’t just moved by the beauty of plants, but also fascinated by their uses and properties, their benefits and dangers, how we relate to them, and the mythologies we weave around them – in short, by the ways in which plants belong to a cultural as well as a natural ecosystem. Volchkova also documents how plants interact with other life forms (fungi, lichens, insects, fish, birds, mammals…) and seeks to represent the symbiotic relationships between living organisms, highlighting their interdependence. A tireless artist for whom a twelve-hour painting day is not unusual, Volchkova never paints the same thing twice. Continuing to honor endangered natural habitats, she has now turned her attention to the ocean in pieces such as *Saint Kelp Forest* and *Miracle of the Ocean Community*. “Others write stories, but instead I paint paintings,” she says. Each of her pieces comes with its own story, and each is a visual narrative that combines erudition and humor. Often, they include visual metaphors, puns, and other clues about the creatures and plants depicted, as well as human tropes or customs associated with them, showcasing how the natural and cultural realms are interconnected. The anthropomorphic use of human figures to represent plants (*Saint* series), and the presence of animals standing in for humans (*The Spirit of the Redwoods*) or plants (*Saint Dogwood*), further blur the boundaries between the human and non-human realms. Volchkova’s compositions themselves constitute microcosms in which the living organisms she has assembled appear to live in harmony. Architectural and natural settings follow the pictorial language of the icon genre, providing both general structure and visual ordering around central figures. The use of borders further contributes to a sense of perennity. Every detail has been thoroughly researched and meticulously executed, rewarding close attention. Her vibrant colors are the result of much delicate layering, and retaining balance and harmony is crucial at each stage of the painting. Volchkova’s *Saint* pieces in effect function as visual speech acts, performative utterances that enact rather than describe, whereby she says: “I’m canonizing plants,” and does. This is something, she notes, no one had dared before, and which she has now expanded to, “I am canonizing all the living creatures of nature.” As with traditional images of saints, this expansion of the concept of sainthood and personification of other life forms is meant to rekindle our sense of awe and wonder, but here it is our spiritual bond with the natural world that is at stake. It is also a reminder, at once playful and earnest, that our entire living environment needs, more than ever, to be respected and protected. Volchkova grew up in Tver, in the former Soviet Union. She studied chemistry and art, and was trained in art restoration as well as icon painting. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, most recently at the Museum of Russian Art, Minneapolis, Minnesota. *Sylvie Pederson* Pictured artwork: Olga Volchkova - *Oak Savanna Treenity*, 2025, Wood & acrylic, 24" x 20"

The exhibit will be up for viewing the entire month. Exhibit Dates: Oct. 2nd through Oct. 27th, 2026 Opening Reception, with the artist present: Third Friday, October 16th from 5-6 p.m. Artist’s Talk at the Emerald Art Center in Springfield Sunday, October 18th at 2:30 p.m. \(entrance on 5th St.\). Dot Dotson’s Gallery, 1668 Willamette St, Eugene OR, 97401. Hours: Mon-Fri. 10 a.m. – 5:30 p.m, Sat 10 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. About the Exhibit “In this series of autobiographical self-portraits, viewers are invited on a fairytale-like journey that explores the internal landscape of the mind through the lens of the surreal. Identity is explored via the interwoven complexities of past and present and, specifically, how the past shapes and dictates our perception of our present self and relationships. Viewers are enveloped by large-format works that often leave them suspended in moments of rising tension; the fantastical subject matter and use of vibrant, luscious colors result in eye-catching and wonder-filled imagery. The use of collage and hand-assembled props allows me to construct my own world and find my own narrative, while the use of photography tethers the story to this world and place in time. It is a cathartic series that investigates the wonder of myth, the beauty of nature, the curiosity of humanity, and above all, strives for hope.”
