On Tuesday, June 1, 2021, at 11:30 a.m. Joseph Gallivan interviews artist Ryan! Feddersen about Inhabitance, her installation at the Portland International Airport, which opens in November 2021. Feddersen talks about making public art on a grand scale, about her love of mixed media and her sense of space, about her researching the five biomes of Oregon in her transit van during the pandemic, about life as a mixed race Native American artist who passes for white, and why she has an explanation point in her name.
