📢 New Review Alert! Sarah Diver @sarahjdiver for Variable West reflects on the 2024 Oregon Artists’ Biennial. 2024 Oregon Contemporary Artists’ Biennial⁣⁣⁠⁣⁠⁣⁠⁣⁠ 𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘢𝘻𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦, 𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘨⁣⁣⁠⁣⁠⁣⁠⁣⁠ Curated by Jackie Im @jackieetal and Anuradha Vikram @curativeprojects Participating artists: Carla Bengtson | Meech Boakye | Srijon Chowdhury | Epiphany Couch | Megita Denton | Michael Espinoza | Marcus Fischer | Bean Gilsdorf | Patricia Vázquez Gómez | Anne Greenwood | Bridgette Hickey | chimæra/project | Horatio Hung-Yan Law | Maxx Katz | Rainen Knecht | Methods Body | Morgan Ritter | Sarah Rushford | Tyler Stoll | UwU Collective | Vo Vo⁠⁣⁠ Curated by Jackie Im and Anuradha Vikram, Oregon Contemporary’s latest Artists’ Biennial answers the question with the question: “What does it mean to care?” The notion of care—and in fact the etymological roots of the word curator come from the Latin cura—is an apt concept for this iteration of the exhibition, the first after the pandemic. The artists in the exhibition grapple with the many reverberations of trauma since the pandemic—to the self, others, community, and the world. Thus, care becomes instead a loose framework through which a desire for healing is visualized. The title itself, ablaze with our care, its ongoing song, is a quote taken from Maggie Nelson’s indomitable The Argonauts, where the author explores the challenges of motherhood and childcare in the context of queer family-making.
