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.

This Oregon Pizzeria Is So Good Everyone Says You Have To Drive And Try It

People rarely agree unanimously on where to find the best pizza. Somehow, this Oregon spot ends every single one of those arguments before it even starts. Crust comes out charred just right, blistered at the edges from a wood fired oven that clearly knows what it’s doing. Toppings stay simple, nothing overcomplicated or trying too hard, just quality ingredients treated with enough respect to let them actually shine through.
