PNCA 2026 Summer Events

<a href="https://www.miriamsimun.xyz/" title="https://www.miriamsimun.xyz/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Miriam Simun</a> is a multidisciplinary artist using science, somatics, poetry and humor to create art works in various formats, including video, installation, drawing, performance, and communal sensorial experiences. The work is often concerned with the collision of ecosystems, new technologies and human power structures. Trained as a sociologist, Simun takes on the role of ‘artist-as-fieldworker,’ conducting first-person research with diverse places and communities: from scientific laboratories to rewilded forests, from freedivers to human pollinators. This in-depth and corporeal research dictates the form of the final works. Simun’s work has been presented internationally, including Gropius Bau, New Museum, MIT List Center for Visual Art, Momenta Biennale, Himalayas Museum, Rauschenberg Project Space and Bogota Museum of Modern Art. Recognized in publications including the BBC, The New York Times, The New Yorker, CBC, MTV, and Flash Art International, the work has been supported by Creative Capital, New York State Council for the Arts, and the Foundations of Robert Rauschenberg, Joan Mitchell, Gulbenkian and Onassis. / / / Event DetailsWednesday, July 15 - Lecture begins at 6:00 PMFirst Floor Mediatheque @ Pacific Northwest College of Art 511 NW Broadway, Portland, OR 97209Both in person &amp; online.
