In 2024, Ann Hamilton and her team created LIFE with LIFE, an art installation for the courtyard of the newly renovated Cordley Hall at Oregon State University. The hall is home to both the Department of Botany and Plant Pathology and the Department of Integrative Biology. The State of Oregon's Percent for Art in Public Places was founded in 1975. Administered by Oregon Arts Commission, the program guides the acquisition of artwork for the state's collection of art in public places, which includes more than 2,600 works of art.

Public art for a public University: innovative, accessible to all, and integrated into the daily rhythms of the campus. I can't imagine a better match, unless.... ...that work is engaged with the amazing scientific research here at Oregon State University. Here's a video on a piece by Ann Hamilton recently installed in Cordley Hall. Ann Hamilton is a legendary contemporary artist. MacArthur Fellow. Recipient of the National Medal of the Arts. Widely commissioned by around the world. (If you aren't familiar with her subway installation at New York's World Trade Center...google it.) For the work at OSU, called LIFE with LIFE, Ann worked extensively and directly with the Departments of Botany and Plant Pathology as well as with the Department of Integrative Biology, particularly Professor David Maddison. We're so grateful for the Oregon Arts Commission, the Percent for Art in Public Places program (led by Ryan Burghard), Libby Ramirez, David Maddison, Ann Hamilton, and of course all the faculty who contributed to this project. And organizations like a2ru who are advancing art x science collaborations. Learn more about this work in this video presented by Patricia Valian Reser Center for the Creative Arts. https://lnkd.in/gHsavvj8

Full house at last night's Spring Creek Project event, Deep Time: Writing and Art from an Ancient Forest! ?? For more than 20 years, the Spring Creek Project has been inviting creative responses to the?H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest?through the Long-Term Ecological Reflections program. This program brings imaginative thinkers in the humanities and the written and visual arts to this ancient forest of the Blue River watershed in Oregon, where scientists have been engaged for decades in long-term study. The Reflections project is intended to span 200 years — approximately seven generations of human lives, but only a quarter of the lifetime of the oldest red cedars in the forest. It was founded on the belief that truths reveal themselves over time and cannot be fully grasped in short corporate timespans. So we should study a place for generations — patient in drawing conclusions, humble in the presence of deep time, and open to surprise. Long-term thinking is a radical act, a corrective to the dangerous impatience of modernity. Nevertheless, we live in a time of ecological crisis where the urgent need for new ways of thinking and being sits in tension with the wisdom that evolves over generations. Thank you to those who came out last night to help us celebrate creative projects from the Long-Term Ecological Reflections program that are making us think in new ways about forests, our relationship to place, and the importance of long-term inquiry. We are truly grateful for your continued support! Peter Betjemann | Carly Lettero | Shelley Stonebrook | Riley Yuan | Nancy Floyd | Tom Montgomery Fate | Claire Giordano

We couldn't be more proud of those who envisioned and built PRAx! We are honored to be part of this award. ?
Congratulations to Holst for their Merit Award at the Oregon Architecture Awards for The Patricia Valian Reser Center for the Creative Arts (PRAx). ? PRAx brings together music, theater, digital communications, and the visual arts to create a campus centerpiece for culture and creativity. The complex is a comprehensive education and performance facility with a 500-seat recital hall, black box theater, flexible art gallery, customized support spaces, and a site design configured for outdoor performances and public gatherings. PRAx breaks new ground as a building supporting a blended visual and performing arts model. The multi-disciplinary program for the facility eschews traditional front-of-house and back-of-house separations, instead weaving student performance and learning spaces throughout the building. The architecture supports the idea of “collapsing distinctions” between audience and performer, rehearsal and performance, students, and the public.
