SUMMARY:Christopher Rauschenberg\, Gathering: A Photographer’s Collection
DESCRIPTION:Christopher Rauschenberg\, Gathering: A Photographer’s Collection \nJuly 26 – November 23\, 2025 \nJordan Schnitzer Museum of Art\n1430 Johnson Lane\, Eugene\, OR 97403\n541-346-3027\nWednesdays 11am – 8pm\, Thursdays through Sundays 11am – 5pm \nGathering: A Photographer’s Collection presents a wide-ranging selection of photographs from the personal collection of Portland\, Oregon based photographer and curator\, Christopher Rauschenberg. Over five decades\, Rauschenberg has compiled a truly distinctive archive of photographs encompassing a wide array of themes\, styles\, uses of the medium\, and range of subjects and content. This important resource represents a diverse mix of international and nationally emerging and established photographers. \nRauschenberg typically acquires photographs directly from the artists or from non-profit community-based arts organizations exhibiting or representing their works. \nRauschenberg has also traveled extensively and participated for decades as a highly regarded reviewer of photography portfolios at international gatherings of specialists who utilize and support opportunities for working creative photographers. \nIn Gathering\, one will find a wealth of individual points of view that\, when engaged\, may broaden each of our own visions: whether those considered perspectives are personal\, familiar\, social\, cultural\, political\, or spiritual. \nChristopher Rauschenberg reflects on his building of the collection: \n“At the core of what I’m doing is acquiring prints directly from photographers. That’s where I get my real satisfaction in collecting. With photography\, one literally sees the world through someone else’s eyes\, and we each have a different way of looking at the world around us. Having seen the work of thousands of photographers\, I’ve had a great many opportunities to discover new ways of seeing. That has really been the primary enrichment of my life\, and I am excited to share that with you through this exhibition.” \nGathering: A Photographer’s Collection was curated by JSMA Associate Curator of Photography\, Thom Sempere.

SUMMARY:Julie Moore\, With gratitude and love: postcards from the intersection of myth and memory
DESCRIPTION:Julie Moore\, With gratitude and love: postcards from the intersection of myth and memory \nSeptember 13 – October 8\, 2025\nReception: Saturday\, September 13\, from 4-7pm \nLightBox Photographic Gallery & Fine Printing\n1045 Marine Drive\nAstoria\, Oregon 97103\n(503) 468-0238\nHours: Wednesday – Saturday 12 pm to 5 pm \nPlease join us for the artist opening reception on Saturday\, September 13\, from 4-7pm. \n“With gratitude and love: postcards from the intersection of myth and memory” invites viewers into a contemplative space where personal recollections intertwine with universal narratives. Through this collection\, I explore the profound emotional landscapes shaped by the stories we tell ourselves and the memories we hold dear\, offering glimpses into moments of deep appreciation and affection. \nEach piece in this series functions as a “postcard”—a distilled moment\, a visual fragment designed to evoke rather than explicitly narrate. Just as a postcard carries a brief message across distances\, this artwork bridges the gap between ‘my’ deeply personal and the collectively understood. I delve into how our individual experiences (memory) are often framed or echoed by larger cultural narratives (myth)\, revealing the enduring human quest for meaning and connection. My process involves layering and mixed media to visually represent the ephemeral nature of memory and the enduring power of myth\, creating textures and forms that suggest both fragility and resilience. The choice of translucent materials and fragmented imagery is deliberate\, aiming to capture the fleeting yet impactful essence of these “postcards\,” inviting viewers to piece together their own interpretations. \nMy hope is that these “postcards” serve as catalysts for personal reflection\, prompting viewers to consider their own intersections of myth and memory. I invite you to engage with each piece as a quiet conversation\, allowing the visual language to resonate with your own experiences of gratitude and love\, whether for people\, places\, or the very act of remembering. It is through this shared exploration that the work finds its fullest expression\, fostering a sense of universal connection. \nUltimately\, “with gratitude & love” is an homage to the intricate tapestry of human experience—a testament to the power of stories\, both personal and collective\, to shape our understanding of the world and our place within it. It is a heartfelt offering\, celebrating the profound beauty found at the confluence of what we remember and what we believe\, what we love and what we have lost. \nShowpage – http://lightbox-photographic.c…
