The Shape of Time January 20, 2010

The Shape of Time: Accumulations of Place and Memory explores urban landscape and public memory through the lens of the Jewish experience in Oregon. The Oregon Jewish Museum's extensive archives of historical photographs (both present and familiar and long gone locations in and around Portland and the state) serve as a memory bank from which invited artists will choose a sampling. The exhibition will feature the artists' photographic responses to the original works -juxtaposing "past" and "present" images as a unit.
