October 26 Landscape
Painter Lisa Yuskavage speaks with Jarrett Earnest and Christian Viveros-Fauné
as part of the Converge 45 project. Earnest and Yuskavage curated the paintings of Jesse Murry (1948–1993) at the Cooley Gallery now. He is an abstract landscape painter and writer. Yuskavage was one of the artists curated by Linda Ferris into the Seattle Contemporary Art Project, now in the Seattle Art Museum collection. Portland Art Museum is behind with only 2 works on paper. In the 1980s, some of the art world rebelled against the Reagan Wall Street inorganic art boom by bringing outsider art into the American gallery and museum world. In that movement, Murry wrote a seminal essay on artist Howard Finster and curated his work for a show at the New Museum. https://d2b8urneelikat.cloudfront.net/media/collectiveaccess/images/6/3/59637_ca_object_representations_media_6333_original.pdf

October 21 Harvest Lone Vampire Meta Mural Psych Water
Cemetaries hold stories for time. Portland's Lone Fir Cemetary holds many families streets were named after. Block 14 is a city block size part of Lone Fir with the saddest history.
It held unnamed graves of people who died at the Hawthorne Hospital, predecessor to the State Hospital. It's debatable which is sadder, the buried there or the unclaimed remains left at the State Hospital in the library of dust. https://davidmaisel.com/works/library-of-dust/ It also holds the sad story of Chinese laborers. Solo men who did not fit into the mercantile class of the last dynasty journeyed East to work in the West in mines, building railroads, farming, and in professions like laundry. When they passed, they were buried in Lone Fir. Filmmaker Ivy Lin documented attempts to return the remains to families in China post facto in Come Together Home https://vimeo.com/6226018. Proper burial is important in Chinese culture and this was not that.
At a point Multnomah County disinterred some of Block 14's remains and built a maintenance building over it. As the building decayed, the county planned to auction the land for apartments. Now it is the "empty" section of the cemetary. There have been several artist residencies including Micki Skudlarczyk's cast sugar boats referencing the Chinese remains traveling back home.
A memorial and contemplative garden is being designed for Block 14. Your participation is welcome in person https://www.oregonmetro.gov/events/information-session-cultural-heritage-and-healing-garden-lone-fir-cemetery/2023-10-21 11AM-1 Free
