We acknowledge Adams and Ollman, Portland, Oregon, where Indie Folk began in 2020 as a virtual exhibition. Indie Folk will travel to the Schneider Museum of Art, Ashland, OR Bellevue Arts Museum, Bellevue, WA Museum of Craft and Design, San Francisco, CA and Hallie Ford Museum of Art, Willamette University, Salem, OR. Organized by the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art WSU and guest curated by Melissa E. A playlist of Indie Folk music selected by Portland’s Mississippi Records will accompany the exhibition, filling the galleries with the sound of the Pacific Northwest. The exhibition features an intergenerational array of notable artists from throughout the region including Marita Dingus, Warren Dykeman, Joe Feddersen, Blair Saxon-Hill, Whiting Tennis, and Cappy Thompson. For the artists-patchwork quilters and abstract painters alike-a rural and working class ethos of passed down knowledge and making do with what you have is as foundational as academics and studio technique. Artisanal woven baskets and tooled-wood objects mix with works that are makeshift, improvisational, and often employ salvaged materials. Like folk art, the works featured here are handmade, unpretentious, and often blur the line between functionality and aesthetics.
