Wrote a preview of the remarkable China Design Now exhibition at the Portland Art Museum. The exhibition originated at the V&A in London and was designed for PAM by Ziba. One of the wall texts reads:When asked, “How can our design be more international?” Alex Chan replied, “Go ask your mother how she cooks a good meal. What I mean is don’t forget where you are from.”

Artist, curator, teacher, Jenene Nagy, through her own work and that of her gallery Tilt, has treated Portland to many of its best installations in recent memory. I recently wrote this review of Jenene Nagy's installation "s/plit" at APEX at the Portland Art Museum for ultra.
