    Catalytic Conversation: Craft and the Hyperobject
    (2021) Center for Art Research, University of Oregon
    CFAR’s Catalytic Conversations serve the creative practices of individuals and groups by giving them an opportunity to engage a small body of thinkers in ways that contribute to a project or line of thinking that is in development. These conversations are recorded, transcribed, and archived as reference materials for those involved. This particular Catalytic Conversation was the first that CFAR conducted with intent to publish.

    Seeing Visual Artists: A Portland Pandemic Report
    (2021) Gilsdorf, Bean
    Portland is a great place for people who love art and culture. But what about the artists who reside in the metro area, is it a supportive place for them to live and work? The purpose of this study was to answer two questions: Who are the visual artists in Portland, and how have they been affected by the pandemic? The information collected from the survey concerns only visual artists, but it can be inferred that some of the quantitative and qualitative data would also be applicable to dancers, performance and sound artists, writers, musicians, and other creative workers. In seeking to create a comprehensive picture, this report connects the data from the survey to related issues that sometimes extend beyond the boundaries of the metropolitan area and, in some cases, beyond the category of “artist.” Many social factors—such as gender, race, and household income—are at play in artists’ lives. The survey respondents’ quantitative and qualitative answers point to complex interactions between pre-pandemic structures that existed within the regional arts ecosystem and also in Portland’s general ecology.

    Experiments in Access and the Commonplace Habits of Denial
    (2022) Williamson, Iris; Harker, Tiffany
    Habits of Denial is a series of public programs and exhibitions exploring the broad theme of ACCESS, exhibited online and in venues in Eugene and Portland, Oregon with additional research and participation from across the country and online. Collaborating artists investigate specific issues within larger systems of power and its embedded exclusionary impacts. Four anchoring programs examine ACCESS through lenses of language and communication, technology and economies, communities and archives, and Indigeneity and institutions.
