Don’t try to catch the map is not the territory during the last 30 minutes of the Portland Art Museum’s hours. You need time. The inaugural exhibitionexhibition of this triennal series displays work from eight Pacific Northwest artists—Annette Bellamy, Fernanda D’Agostino, Jenny Irene Miller, Mary Ann Peters, Ryan Pierce, Rob Rhee, Henry Tsang, and Charlene Vickers—and addresses relationships with region, climate change, and (quoting curator Grace Kook-Anderson) “a time of reckoning where we need to embrace indigenous knowledge.” Our recommendation for a way into the exhibit is this: Go all the way to the back and start with Pierce’s paintings of cataloged wildlife and preservation methods. It feels very Portland and, in the spirit of the exhibition, why not start with your own backyard? Then move out, through Miller’s photo series of modern-day First Nations Alaskans. Find yourself in the D’Agostino projections at the end and see that you are part of the map. Your actions are leaving a record.
