Richard Prince

Born in the Panama Canal Zone in 1949, Richard Prince’s career has been built around pushing boundaries and controversy. He is considered a pioneer of appropriation art, an art form that uses images from advertisements and pop culture references to create new, often satirical messages. In doing this, Prince often finds himself flirting with copyright laws. His work asks viewers to question the images we interact with on a daily basis, and see them as both art and subtle manipulation. His piece Supergroup is currently on display in the Entry Gallery of the Schneider Museum of Art.

William Kentridge

From charcoal techniques to how place affects arts, Tate’s interview with William Kentridge is a great look at the journey of accepting that one is an artist. Born during apartheid in South Africa, the political landscape of his home deeply influences Kentridge’s work. He explores the insider-outsider dichotomy that pulls at him, and how it directly impacts the “voice” of his work. Watch the video with the link below, and come see Kentridge’s piece What is Not Us now on display 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.
