Digital Art Movement

The digital age has found its way into every corner of our lives, including the aesthetic. Starting as early as the 1960s, pioneers of the art form sought to bridge the gap between traditional art and the modern world. Rather than using art as an escape from our technological advancements, these artists embraced it. This movement brought together artists and engineers to find the beauty in our new, developing world. Learn more about the digital art movement with the link below, and see an example of this art style with Gabriel Orozco’s untitled in Schneider Museum of Art’s Entry Gallery.

Collaging

Finding its first boom of popularity during the modernist era of art, collage art has always had its own little niche in different art styles and movements. Collage is considered a mixed media art form with the assembly of images of varying shapes, textures, prints, and design. Popularized by artists like Pablo Picasso and Hannah Höch, collaging was prevalent in a variety of art movements such as cubism, dadaism, and surrealism. As an art style, it was also the forefront of artistic commentary, as it gave a way to confront many issues in one piece. Learn more about the rich history of collage with the link below, and see the message for yourself with Barbara Kruger’s piece untitled In the Entry Gallery of the Schneider Museum of Art.

Russell Means

Most well known by the general public through his acting roles, Russell Means was an activist turned actor that fought for the rights of Indigenous people. During the 1970s and 1980s, Means worked to bring awareness to the unfair treatment of Native people and the United States’ blatant disregard of tribal treaties. Co-founder and spokesperson of the American Indian Movement (AIM), Means was a part of several protests through the organization and was very outspoken about his views on Native inequality and poverty levels even after the AIM broke apart. Learn more about Russell Means with the link below, and come see the photo of him from Andy Warhol’s polaroid photoshoot in the Entry Gallery of the Schneider Museum of Art.

The Schneider Museum of Art is located within the ancestral homelands of the Shasta, Takelma, and Latgawa peoples who lived here since time immemorial. These Tribes were displaced during rapid Euro-American colonization, the Gold Rush, and armed conflict between 1851 and 1856. In the 1850s, discovery of gold and settlement brought thousands of Euro-Americans to their lands, leading to warfare, epidemics, starvation, and villages being burned. In 1853 the first of several treaties were signed, confederating these Tribes and others together – who would then be referred to as the Rogue River Tribe. These treaties ceded most of their homelands to the United States, and in return they were guaranteed a permanent homeland reserved for them. At the end of the Rogue River Wars in 1856, these Tribes and many other Tribes from western Oregon were removed to the Siletz Reservation and the Grand Ronde Reservation. Today, the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Community of Oregon (https://www.grandronde.org) and the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians (http://www.ctsi.nsn.us/) are living descendants of the Takelma, Shasta, and Latgawa peoples of this area. We encourage you to learn about the land you reside on, and to join us in advocating for the inherent sovereignty of Indigenous people.
