OVERVIEW
The Portland2016 Biennial of Contemporary Art, curated by Michelle Grabner, is a major survey of Oregon visual artists who are defining and advancing the state’s contemporary arts landscape. The exhibition, staged citywide in Portland, will take place July 9, 2016 through September 18, 2016 and be supported by artist and curator talks, public works and a catalog.
Disjecta's 6,000 square foot space serves as the key venue for Portland2016 but the exhibition will again expand to partner spaces. This year, for the first time, we also hope to activate locations around the state for site works, community engagements and other public projects.
In keeping with the hybridization and interdisciplinary character of contemporary practice, the Biennial platform may include visual arts and new media, as well as performance-based works. Selected artists will receive a stipend to create new work for the exhibition.
