SUMMARY:Limei Lai Art Show: Temperature in Life
DESCRIPTION:On display through June 21\, 2026 | Free with admission or membership \n\n\n\nExplore intricate fabric installations by Limei Lai\, a Portland-based Chinese American artist. In her own words: “On top of a chaotic\, messy\, tangled\, frayed\, knotted forest of seemingly random threads\, tapestry finds order and beauty\, much like art and life.” \n\n\n\nThis installation is in collaboration with the Many Bridges exhibition at Blackfish Gallery running through May 30.  \n\n\n\nAbout the Installation\n\n\n\nSeries 1: Indoor black and white embroidery work\n\n\n\nThis series of works are reflections of my past. Thinking about intergenerational communication and cultural conflict. The narratives are quite clear on the composition of the work\, while the underlining thoughts are the daily constant practice of do and undo cultural learnings.  \n\n\n\nSeries 2: Outdoor colorful embroidery work\n\n\n\nThis series of work is made with the idea of we situate ourselves in a safe\, soft place for trust and connection. The artist’s hope is that these mini sculptures can accompany the trees\, can dance in the wind\, and can sing if humans shake them\, move them to a different place\, or dance with them. They have a little red heart in them that is ready to sing and dance. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEngage with the Artist — Childhood Play Memory Exchange\n\n\n\nSunday\, May 10 | 3-5 PM | Free with admission or membership \n\n\n\nArtist Limei Lai invites the community to contribute to the installation by sharing a moment of your childhood play. Place your memory in one of the fabric pieces hanging in the Scholar’s Courtyard as a temporary home\, then they’ll go to Blackfish Gallery to be hung under a swing and create a communal sculpture. \n\n\n\n\nLearn More\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArtist Statement\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWeaving experiences of her 30 years in China and 15 years in the U.S.\, Limei makes textile pieces about connections and communications. The idea is that memory exchange creates a present communication. It exists in time\, makes space\, constructs identity\, and situates us in a closer connection. She believes that we all have a burning kind heart in us that could share some warmth by creating a communal moment. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nParking & Directions\n\n\n\nFree Lan Su Parking\n\n\n\nThere is free first come\, first served parking in our sister lot next to the garden at 424 NW Third Avenue. Additional metered parking and garages are available on surrounding streets.
