Photographer Steven Miller
Noontime Chat | “Inappropriate Behavior”
Featuring Photographer Steven Miller
November 12, 12:30pm
PNCA Swigert Commons
Sponsored by the PNCA Photography Department
Free and open to the public
Photographer Steven Miller’s work invents new mythologies – a private universe that reinvents what it is to be a gay man in this day and age. Subverting cultural stereotypes and challenging the status quo forces the viewer to examine what is “natural” and what attitudes can be changed simply by shifting one’s point of view.
The Seatlle-baed photographer’s work has appeared in group shows across the US, including “Digitalia: Intimacy in the Hyperreal” at the Deborah Colton Gallery in Houston Texas, and the Eighth Annual Northwest Biennial at the Tacoma Art Museum. His work will appear in the New York Photo Festival in May 2009.

William Callahan Lecture
Free Lunchtime Lecture
Lunchtime Lecture | William A. Callahan
November 20, 12:30pmPNCA Swigert Commons
Free and open to the publicWoodrow Wilson Center Fellow William A. Callahan and Richard Kraus, Visiting Professor of Political Science at Portland State University, will focus on “Who is China?” during a noontime lecture co-sponsored by Pacific Northwest College of Art and the International Studies Department at Portland State University.Professor of International Politics at the University of Manchester, Callahan will examine the views of Chinese public intellectuals – philosopher Zhao Tingyang, writer Jiang Rong, film directors Zhang Yimou and Ang Lee and artist Cai Guo-Qiang. By taking a wide view of China, Callahan believes we can better interrogate official slogans like “One World, One Dream” by asking which world, and which dream?
His most current book, China: The Pessopotimist Nation, is unique because it goes beyond official sources to employ Chinese film, television, novels and blogs in an analysis o fthe interplay of state policy and popular culture. He is also the author of Contingent States: Greater China and Transnational Relations (Minnesota, 2004), and Cultural Governance and Resistance in Pacific Asia (Routledge, 2006).
