SUMMARY:Opening Event: "Ode to Diligence: The Art of Jason McDonald"

McDonald is the 2026 awardee of The Current\, An Artist Award. \nThrough his repetition and re-imagination of these historical forms\, the objects transform into sculptures and vessels of time\, carrying with them the essence of centuries-old traditions\, as well as Jason McDonald’s insertion of the representation and notions of Black identity. With commitment to the craft that transcends his own work\, McDonald diligently carves out space for those who will follow him through mentoring and the creation of his own glass studio\, which he has named Ideal Conditions. \nOrganized by Tacoma Art Museum and curated by Victoria Miles. \nThe Current\, An Artist Award is supported in part by Tacoma Creates\, ArtsFund\, the Windrose Fund of Common Council Foundation\, and our wonderful Tacoma Art Museum members.   \n  \nAbout Jason McDonald\nJason attended California College of the Arts on a merit scholarship\, where he received his BFA with Honors in Glass. Afterwards\, he was awarded the Presidential Fellowship from Tyler School of Art and Architecture\, earning an MFA. He has a robust teaching practice and has taught numerous workshops at world-class institutions including Penland School of Craft\, Pilchuck Glass School\, The Studio at the Corning Museum of Glass\, and many others. He was a contestant on the Netflix show ‘Blown Away’ and\, through that exposure\, frequently collaborates with other artists and designers\, such as Solange Knowles’ brand\, Saint Heron\, for whom Jason designed and fabricated a line of stemware. Currently\, McDonald is in the midst of a three-year residency at The Penland School of Craft\, where he just finished building his first glass studio.

SUMMARY:Art Class: Hand Embroidery and Sewing for Adults
DESCRIPTION:Before sewing machines\, embroidery was an art form done entirely by hand\, passed down through generations to decorate household linens\, garments\, and heirlooms. This workshop connects students to that historical context. By practicing classic stitches\, students will connect their hands to the mindful rhythm of the work\, using embroidery as a tool for self-expression and relaxation. \n \nThe Tacoma Art Museum will provide all necessary supplies\, though participants are encouraged to bring personal textiles such as towels\, handkerchiefs\, or bandanas to incorporate into their projects.\n\n\nRuth Esther creates wearable art\, pieces that fuse simplicity with bold\, sculptural design\, blending vintage lines with avant-garde and ancestral wisdom. Every item is crafted by hand\, marrying a passion for individual expression with a love of wearable elegance. Each piece is more than clothing; it is a story\, a symbol\, and a personal statement. Fashion\, for Ruth\, is a living language that crosses borders\, eras\, and cultures. Inspired by nature and global elements\, Ruth strives to empower the wearer to reclaim their presence\, their style\, and their truth in every stitch.\nThis journey of healing unfolds as a deeply personal and psychological exploration. As she navigates this global landscape\, Ruth’s aesthetic evolves\, crafting a living narrative that gives shape to being and unique identity. “I don’t just dress a person’s silhouette\, I dress their soul.”

SUMMARY:Elements: Material and Process in the Moving Image
DESCRIPTION:May 21\, 2026 | 6pm | at Tacoma Art Museum\n\n\n\nThe Nature of Things (93 min\, 2015-2025) \n\n\n\nThis program considers the nature of material vis-à-vis the experiential\, tracing forms of memory expressed in the sensual object. The body is posited as a site of mediation between the inanimate and the tactile. Sense perception is taken as a means of knowing the world\, yet certain truths remain inscrutable\, beyond what is present-at-hand. The contours of exile become inscribed in commonly neglected objects.  \nIn Yuyan Wang’s portrait of a Chinese stone quarry\, All Movements Should Kill the Wind\, laborers sculpt material to reveal monuments in the making\, as human and effigy forms become nearly indistinguishable amid the stone dust; honorary turns funerary. In the arid expanses of the Sharjah desert in the UAE\, a lone Pakistani caretaker presides over the ruins of a Neolithic necropolis in Ali Cherri’s The Digger\, embodying a solitary vigil against obsolescence. Liu Yujia’s Harvesting features the quiet yet arduous labor of a wood ear mushroom harvest in the Changbai Mountains among a group of local ethnic Korean women. Forgotten fruits are conjured by the literal handful from Caribbean citizens who form them from memory in Claudia Claremi’s The Memory of Fruits\, itself hand-processed on 16mm film. In Dad’s Stick\, by legendary British artist John Smith\, the personal artifact is revealed in all of its historical ambiguity\, its form an unsuspecting index unto a father-son relationship. Taiwanese-American Erica Sheu engages an aide-memoire through tactile gestures that link the memory of her grandmother to her current analog practice in Grandma’s Scissors. And James N. Kienitz Wilkins (This Action Lies) invites the viewer to consider the benevolence of banality: a static shot of styrofoam cup is filled with a monologue that segues from the solipsistic to the universal.  \n\nAll Movements Should Kill the Wind (2020\, France/China\, 12 min\, digital file) Yuyan Wang \nMen live in a stone quarry two hundred kilometers from Beijing\, surrounded by rocks waiting to be cut\, hacked\, and sanded into sculptures. The same gestures are repeated over and over again\, inscribing a history of deterioration and repair. \n  \nThe Digger  (2015\, Lebanon / UAE / France\, 25 min\, digital file) Ali Cherri \nShot in the Sharjah desert in the United Arab Emirates\, The Digger follows the everyday life of Sultan Zeib Khan\, the Pakistani caretaker who has been guarding the ruins of a Neolithic necropolis for twenty years. A witness to the nation’s founding mythologies\, Sultan preserves archeological ruins\, keeping them from falling into ruin. In the midst of these empty graves that echo the vastness of the desert\, the absence of corpses is more unsettling than their presence. \n  \nHarvesting (2023\, China\, 8 min\, 16mm to digital file) Liu Yujia \nThe Changbai Mountain region is home to many cultivation sites dedicated to jelly ear fungus. The fungi are grown on the stumps made from crushed wood shavings. The harvesting season involves laborious work from the local ethnic Korean women pickers. In the autumn of 2022\, the artist captured the essence of the fungus harvesting scene using black and white 16mm film. To protect themselves from the sun and mosquitoes\, the workers are fully covered\, silently toiling amidst the wafting smoke of mosquito coils.  \n  \n“La memoria de las frutas” (2025\, Puerto Rico / 2021\, Cuba\, 9 min\, 16mm to digital file) Claudia Claremi \nThe Memory of Fruits is a multimedia project that investigates the emotional and sensory bonds people maintain with fruits from the Caribbean. Through oral testimonies and hand-processed 16mm film\, the work records gesturing hands that evoke mangoes\, soursop\, guava\, and other fruits. By never showing the fruits themselves and instead centering the experience on touch and gesture\, the project subverts traditional tropical imagery and questions botanical\, colonial\, and commercial forms of representation. \nBy evoking fruits longed for because of their absence in the present\, or because they point directly to a specific place or moment in life\, the project reflects on migration\, industrial agriculture\, and the loss of biodiversity. Developed across the region and its diasporas\, it weaves a collective narrative that exposes the structural causes of cultural disconnection\, while also celebrating fruits and the memories they hold. \n  \nDad’s Stick (2012\, UK\, 5 min\, digital file) John Smith \nDad’s Stick features three well-used objects that were shown to the artist by his father shortly before he died.  Two of these were so steeped in history that their original forms and functions were almost completely obscured. The third object seemed to be instantly recognizable\, but it turned out to be something else entirely. Focusing on these ambiguous artifacts and events relating to their history\, Dad’s Stick creates a dialogue between abstraction and literal meaning.  Looking back over half a century\, the work explores the contradictions of memory to create an oblique portrait of “a perfectionist with a steady hand”. \n  \nGrandma’s Scissors (2021\, Taiwan/USA\, 6 min\, Super 8 to digital file) Erica Sheu \nIs it a reconstruction of memory in the silence\, or rather\, notes before the memory disappears? The voice cannot be heard again\, but one can still feel it through the eyes. The camera turns tactile into textile. The filmmaker connects with her grandma from her own craft to hers. \n  \nThis Action Lies (2018\, US / Switzerland\, 32 min\, digital file) James N. Kienitz Wilkins \nThis Action Lies is about the limits of observation; about staring very hard at something while listening to something else. It is a paranoid polyphonic apology of a simple act: offering three perspectives on an object that may not exist in a room that cannot exist\, while at the mercy of an unreliable monologue. \n \n \n\nElements: Material and Process in the Moving Image is a six-part film series\, presenting twenty-five works from contemporary artists\, and conceived in dialogue with the exhibition HAUNTED. \nCurated by David Dinnell and Jay Kuehner \nFocusing on matter that spans both natural and artificial realms – and its transformation through manual\, mechanical\, and organic processes – the works in this series undertake an accounting of the lived world. Taken in context with the TAM exhibition HAUNTED\, these selected works collectively consider how the experiential is framed through empirical and intuitive means\, with moving images acting as witness\, catalyst\, surrogate\, and archive. Manifest in extractive and generative forms\, destructive and productive acts\, durable to ephemeral ends\, the processual – as cinematic event – reveals latent histories in granular form but of ever-increasing consequence. Featuring 25 works that scale from deeply personal to broadly historical\, from geologic to anthropogenic; fusing the merely observational to the sheerly operational image.
