Passages in American Art is a fundamental reinterpretation of the PMA collection, platforming multiple voices, revealing new ways of looking at some of the museum’s most beloved works of art, and inviting community members to drive the conversation.

The project examines the existing collection, and along with recent acquisitions, commissions, and select long-term loans, integrates Atlantic narratives and Indigenous perspectives to expand the story of American art.

al things considered — when i post my masterpiece #1224

reggie burrows hodges -- "bathers and the cleansed: pearl" (2021)

"i start with a black ground [as a way] of dealing with blackness’s totality. i'm painting an environment in which the figures emerge from negative space" … reggie burrows hodges

"using matte-black paint to render the backgrounds of his canvases, as well as the bodies and faces of his figures, this black american painter makes ingenious use of so-called negative space as both a metaphor for hegemonic white culture and an expression of memory’s blur" … johanna fateman

"in the new body of work 'bathers and the cleansed', hodges revisits the art-historical trope of a female bather and presents her in various states of activity, from a moment of respite to exiting the bathtub. while the expressive marks and layered colors appear soft, even sensual, hodges’s paintings honor the characters—washing away centuries of culturally imposed eroticism on the black female body. by doing so, the painter imbues his bathers with a quiet agency as they occupy and reclaim their histories within the domestic sphere" … portland museum of art

"figures created by hodges are made sharper, and more haunting, not because we see those things in their eyes, we see it in their bodies, their postures, the endless desire for humans not to be alone, and to connect. to that hodges adds all that wonderful blackness" … hilton als

"i wanna see it painted, painted black black as night, black as coal i wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky i wanna see it painted, painted, painted painted black, yeah" … mick jagger

"i see a white tub and i want it painted black" … al janik

1934 Peter Harholdt, BMW, R7 Concept Motorcycle. Art Deco.

BMW’s sleek, streamlined, one-of-a-kind R7 Concept Motorcycle appeared at major shows in Germany in 1934, then was crated up and lost until it was discovered in 2005, and restored by BMW craftsmen. Highly advanced for its day, with a pressed steel frame and full bodywork, the R7 is a remarkable survivor—and a bike that was well before its time.
