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:Megan Sinclair\, A Preservation of Character Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:Megan Sinclair\, A Preservation of Character \nAugust 6 -September 28 \nArtist Talk – Sunday\, September 28th at 12pm\, followed by a closing party until 4pm \n[things/found] Atelier\n1704 NW Johnson Street\nPortland\, 97209\n(503) 512-9719\nHours: Thursday-Friday-Saturday 1pm to 7pm\nwww.thingsfoundatelier.com \n\nA Preservation of Character \nAn exhibition of black/white analogue photography by Megan Sinclair \nPortland\, Oregon— A Preservation of Character will be the grand opening exhibition at NW Portland’s newest gallery space\, [things/found] Atelier. The public is invited to attend the opening reception and meet the artist on First Thursday\, August 7th\, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. \n“I long to see the world as I once did. I long to feel the world as I once did. \nIn A Preservation of Character\, I use the act of removal to incite vulnerability. I remove my clothing\, a physical layer of protection. I remove the hair from my head\, a totem of gender. I attempt to let go of protective behavior\, expression\, and thought. What I feel shields me from danger in the outside world has become a part of who I present myself as. \nHere\, I am neighbored only by textures\, shapes\, and light\, leaving me to observe and interact with myself. Who am I without these defenses? \nThis is an exercise in honesty\, and a longing for innocence. These are intimate moments of self-reflection\, and are presented to the viewer out of a need to share unguarded experience.” \nMegan Sinclair is a multidisciplinary artist specializing in analogue self-portrait photography that delves into the interconnectedness of body\, mind\, and environment. Through her work\, she uses vulnerability and image making as tools for processing and navigating personal trauma. Megan constructs in-home sets\, curating intimate spaces where distractions are minimized and self-expression feels safe. \nA 2020 graduate of California State University\, Sacramento\, with a Bachelor’s degree in Photography\, Megan’s projects have since been showcased internationally. Her work communicates emotional narratives and invites viewers into a dialogue about resilience. She currently resides in Oregon\, where she continues to create work that encourages a more open conversation of the human experience. \nwww.megansinclair.com \n[things/found] Atelier is half art gallery and half art/jewelry/vintage store attached to the studio for local Portland artist\, Angel O’Brien. The gallery and store are open Thursday through Saturday 1pm-7pm\, as well as by appointment or whimsy.
