"My work is mainly inspired by the sensory experiences of daily life, smells of food, plants, textures of fabric, people’s voices etc. I also base most of my work on the female experience. I’ve been doing pen drawings/etchings of people for a long time, but just recently tried stretching to other mediums like cloth to stitch my drawings. The length of the process feels very meditative and satisfying to complete."
New work by Iva Borrello

University of Oregon Visiting Artist Lecture Series
Presented by the Department of Art and Center for Art Research
Tyler Hays is an American artist, born and raised in northeastern Oregon. He received his BFA in painting at the university of Oregon in 1994. Throughout his life, he has worked creatively and professionally in a wide array of mediums—from painting, food, music, and furniture, to ceramics, metalwork, fashion, and architecture—with a through-line focus on material science and engineering. He often says the true unifying subject of his work is finding the lines between things. “The harder you look, the more similar everything becomes, and the more difficult it is to know where to stop.” Much of the art, for Hays, is the alchemy of finding these connections.
Tyler hays grew up with a strong desire to make everything in his universe from scratch. This foundational impulse started very young— sewing and cooking, taking apart his toys—and followed him to art school, where he mixed his own paints and made his paint brushes from scratch with hand-pounded silver ferrules. His interests and fluencies are surprisingly expansive yet always centered around the same soup-to-nuts compulsion and fetish-level research into the deconstruction of objects down to their elements. While painting continues to be his primary and most consistent medium, Hays has become best known as the creative force behind the enigmatic company BDDW, which has maintained galleries in New York, London, and Los Angeles. BDDW continues to be the exclusive retailer and auction house of his furniture, art, and objects. Tyler lives and works between Philadelphia, New York, and Oregon.

University of Oregon Visiting Artist Lecture Series Presented by the Department of Art and Center for Art Research
Working across painting, sculpture, and video, Hubbard’s diverse practice references art history and extends the prescribed characteristics of his chosen mediums. His video works are composed like paintings — a flattened plane onto which a series of actions unfold — and render visible the performative nature of the artistic process. They feature sequences of simple acts of creation and destruction, often executed in a slapstick manner. In Collapse of the Expanded Field (2007) the viewer watches as the artist’s hands swiftly assemble a still life of flowers, chops off each bud stem by stem, and smashes the glass vase with a hammer until the constructed scene is wholly decimated and transformed. The evolving layered compositions present a visual cacophony that is the result of both deliberate gestures and aleatory effects.
Alex Hubbard (b. 1975 Toledo, Oregon) received a BFA from Pacific Northwest College of Art, Portland in 1999. In 2003 he attended the Whitney Museum Independent Study Program, New York. Works by the artist are featured in the collections of numerous institutions, including Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago; Colección Jumex, Mexico City; FRAC Corsica, Corte; FRAC Poitu-Charentes, Angoulême; Henry Art Gallery, Seattle; Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami; National Gallery of Victoria, Victoria; Seattle Art Museum, Seattle; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; Marciano Art Foundation, Los Angeles; The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; University of Chicago, Chicago; and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. A publication of the artist’s work, Eat Your Friends, was published in 2015 by DoPe Press, and features a conversation with Hubbard and Debra Singer along with texts by Tan Lin and Jay Sanders. He lives and works in Los Angeles.
1:00–2:00 p.m.
Are you a liberal arts or social sciences graduate student seeking employment in academia, but is also open to exploring opportunities beyond academia? Or are you interested in something in between, that is, academia-adjacent prospects? Academia-adjacent jobs refer to positions that are closely related to the academic field but may not involve traditional faculty roles. These jobs can include research positions in think tanks, policy analysis, educational consulting, departmental administration, roles in non-profit organizations, and positions in industry that value advanced research skills and knowledge. They often allow graduates to apply their expertise in a broader context while still engaging with the academic community.
Join in to unpack these topics, brainstorm together and strategize ways to enhance your ability to articulate your portable and transferable skills while leveraging your existing networks. Register at this link.

Graduate Student Lounge, Susan Campbell Hall November 15, 2024 from 1:00PM to 2:00PM3:00–5:30 p.m.
