Already in its title, “Carrying” points to how places carry certain (hi)stories. This exhibition project with its accompanying events activates various spaces inside and outside Museum Brandhorst. International artists, including Cana Bilir-Meier, Kate Newby, Tiffany Sia, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, and Leyla Yenirce, occupy historically charged sites—such as Cy Twombly’s “Lepanto” room or the “Türkentor” (Turks’ Gate). Architectural interventions, performances, and paintings, as well as sound and filmic works, engage with the museum and explore the entanglement of military and cultural power.

In partnership with the Port of Portland, the Regional Arts & Culture Council (RACC) has selected artists Dyani White Hawk and Kate Newby to create two large-scale public artworks for Portland International Airport (PDX). The works are expected to be installed in late 2025 and unveiled in 2026. They were chosen through a competitive process led by the PDX Terminal Core Redevelopment (TCORE) Public Art Committee from more than 110 applicants nationwide.

The renovation of PDX’s main terminal aims to increase capacity and flexibility while enhancing the traveler experience and incorporating more art. Each artwork will span over 50 feet and be installed along the north and south exit routes where greeters wait after security. Beyond helping with wayfinding, the pieces will offer a powerful and welcoming visual experience for both visitors and locals.

According to Kristin Law Calhoun of RACC, the selection reflects a commitment to impactful public art connected to the region’s landscapes, history, and communities, creating lasting landmarks that define the PDX experience.
