Filmed in Portland, A Simple Machine is a feature film about a young man struggling under debt who “makes a series of radically frugal lifestyle choices without telling his girlfriend that he’s going to fix up an old bike and go off the grid,” according to the film’s synopsis.

This Oregon Library Brings the Feeling of Walking Through a Forest Indoors

What if walking into a library felt a little like stepping into a forest? In Gresham, Oregon, that idea has taken shape through towering wooden columns, sunlit interiors, and spaces that gradually shift from lively gathering spots to quiet reading corners. Completed in 2026, East County Library brings the natural character of the Pacific Northwest into a public building, creating an environment where architecture, learning, and community life come together.

A New Vision for Native American Art at Portland Art Museum

At PAM, galleries showing Indigenous works have been reinstalled and reimagined. Tucked in the Portland Art Museum’s refreshed second-floor galleries hangs a vibrant, kaleidoscopic artwork of geometric patterns overlaid with the words “Past + Future = Present.” Created by Choctaw and Cherokee artist Jeffrey Gibson for the US Pavilion at the 2024 Venice Biennale, the piece is part of Shifting the Narrative: 21st Century Acquisitions, an exhibition that kicked off last fall when the museum unveiled its transformed space. Displayed alongside flat bags from the Columbia River Plateau region, Choctaw basketry, Northwest Coast transformation masks, and works from contemporary artists Lillian Pitt, Julie Buffalohead, Sara Siestreem, and Will Wilson, Gibson’s words also point to a curatorial shift.
