ART GALLERY OF CALGARY, CALGARY AB – Apr 18-Jun 21 New works by Winnipeg-based installationartist Lynn Richardson and Vancouver electronics artist Diana Burgoyne surprise and challenge viewersin their use of materials, technologies and audience participation.A recent M.F.A. graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, LynnRichardson has had numerous exhibitions throughout Canada, theUnited States, and Taiwan. Her prestigious awards include grants fromthe Winnipeg Arts Council, the Manitoba Arts Council and the CanadaCouncil for the Arts. Richardson’s “working landscapes” incorporatemotors, pipelines, oil drilling stations, railways and electrical lines,and entice viewers through their integration of sound, motion andlight. The current exhibition, Inter-Glacial Free Trade agency.ca considersthe relationship between government and corporations by posingas a trade show marketing the latest survival gear. The futuristic sceneis described as a sober and environmentally aware contemplation ofthe impact of global warming, oil drilling in the North and of humanattempts to survive and function in such a setting.previewwww.artgallerycalgary.orgLynn Richardson: Inter-Glacial Free Trade agency.caDiana Burgoyne: Sound DrawingsLynn Richardson, Ideal Collision(2007), mixed media [Art Gallery ofCalgary, Calgary AB, Apr 18-Jun 21]“Electronic folk artist” Diana Burgoyne holds an M.F.A. from the Universityof California Los Angeles, and a B.F.A. from the University of Victoria.Her performances and installations have been exhibited in Montreal,Toronto, New York, France, Holland and Estonia. She has taught creativeelectronics at Emily Carr Institute since 1998. Whilst Richardson’s sculptural installations reflectdarkly on technical innovation, Burgoyne’s Sound Drawings inspire playful dialogues. Relying on theaudience to play active roles, the “drawings” use integrated circuits to combine recordings of gesturesmade by visitors and to generate personal, intimate experiences. Rather than criticizing technology, Burgoyne’swork stimulates questions about the relationships between society, technology and environment.Mia Johnsoners, Allen Sapp, Bob Boyer, JoaneCardinal-Schubert, Robert Hourleand Roger Crait; “Tracing History:Presenting the Unpresentable”, TanyaHarnett, Faye HeavyShield, TerranceHoule and Adrian Stimson,four contemporary Aboriginal artistspresent new work that speaks to asense of history and makes us seechange as an integral part of history,identity and tradition.Herringer Kiss Gallery101-1111 11 Ave SW✆(403)228-4889www.herringerkissgallery.comtues-fri 10am-5:30pm sat 11am-5pm.

GALLERY VIEWSBY ANN ROSENBERGA gallery befitting a Haida giantOn May 10, 2008 the chapel-like building that used to be the Canadian Craft Museum, willbegin a new life as the Bill Reid Gallery of Northwest Coast Art and as the headquarters of theBill Reid Foundation. This stand-alone structure is set jewel-like within the quiet cloister,behind the Shon Tower project at 639 Hornby Street. Vancouver Architect Paul Merrickdesigned the complex for the Hong Kong-based, Shon Georgia Investments Ltd., on the sitewhere the Georgia Medical Dental Building was demolished in 1989.From its inception, this lovely structure has been one of Vancouver's most significant'bonused' cultural amenities (see Preview, September 2006). Bill Reid Gallery supporters haveraised a substantial sum towards the huge endowment that will ensure coverage of all essentialcosts (by way of interest generated by the Fund) once the City-assisted Lease is over. TheAudain Foundation's $1,000,000.gift (announced in the CommercialNews Services press release ofMarch 10) is earmarked for Galleryrestoration and is a great start.Money does attract money, but onlyif the cause seems right. Withoutsuch fulsome financial support, theBill Reid Gallery might fade intohistory as did the Canadian CraftMuseum, but from everything I'veheard, read and seen, it seemsassured that this institution will beimportant to Vancouver's culturallife in perpetuity.What will be different about thesurvival prospects of the Bill ReidGallery of Northwest Coast Art? Although the previous Craft Museum had a pretty exterior, itwas bypassed by many visitors and Vancouverites because the edifice could not be seen fromHornby or Georgia Street. I believe that Bill Reid's international profile is so strong that thegallery (located in the financial district) will quickly become a must-visit designation for allwho wish to learn about his life, art, and contributions to the revival of First Nations Culture.Such fame is augmented by the four Reid works illustrated on the $20 bill, and the majorworks of sculpture sited in significant Metro Vancouver locations.When the "little church" housed the Craft Museum, the high vault of the 8,800 sq. footinterior and the narrow mezzanine were not amenable for the display of small objects. ThisTemple to a Teapot could not have been designed more inappropriately. The transformation ofan awkward, empty chamber into a multi-purpose, flexible exhibition and events venue, hasbeen on-going for months and will so continue. (See websites: billreidgallery.ca/ and:billreidfoundation.org/)The edifice perched high above Christ Church Cathedral and down the way from theVancouver Fairmont Hotel and the Vancouver Art Gallery, will soon be a secret no more. It'snow the haven of the Raven's Trove of gold and silver jewellery and Reid's gigantic MysticMessengers frieze – a suitable gift to the Foundation from Bell Canada Enterprises which is inthe business of communication.Ann Rosenberg is a Vancouver-based freelance curator, critic and author.The Bill Reid Gallery of Northwest Coast Art, at 639 Hornby Street in Vancouver24 PREVIEW ■ APRIL/MAY 2008

Elspeth Pratt: NonethelessCHARLES H. SCOTT GALLERY, EMILY CARR INSTITUTE, VANCOUVER BC – Mar 12-Apr 20 Vancouverbasedartist Elspeth Pratt employs simple building and household materials to engage complex ideasabout architecture and the social use of urban space. Through her choice of such discarded and scavengedmaterials as corrugated cardboard, textured vinyl cloth, carpet,insulation and Formica, Pratt seeks to question ideas of valueand permanence associated with traditional sculpture.In Nonetheless, her references range from architects ShigeruBan and Le Corbusier, to the temporary cardboard shacks in Brazilknown as favelas. Her inventive shapes and materials underscorethe costly and wasteful building practices of wealthy nations. Shealso borrows from the 20th century formal vocabularies associatedwith constructivist and post-minimalist sculpture to addressthe line between abstraction and representation.Elspeth Pratt has been exhibiting since 1983. She has hadnumerous solo shows including the Contemporary Art Gallery,YYZ in Toronto and the Southern Alberta Art Gallery. She hasexhibited in group shows in Canada, Japan, Australia, Taiwan, andItaly. Among these are Weak Thought at the Vancouver Art Gallery,Architettura: Astriazione in Rome, and Contingent: Eva Hesse,Elspeth Pratt, Building Back (2007),ardboard, nylon, crate [Charles H.

www.stride.ab.caVessna Perunovich: BorderlesspreviewTHE STRIDE ART GALLERY, CALGARY AB – Apr 4-May 10 Vessna Perunovich is a Toronto-based visualartist from the former Yugoslavia, with both a B.F.A.and M.F.A. from the University of Belgrade,who expresses herself through a variety of media. Her idiosyncratic artwork, from sculpture andpainting to video installation and performance art, is highly personal and dramatic. A sense of tensionis constant. Her sculptural installations, videos and performances address her own experienceswith immigration and dislocation. Recently she travelled to England, Portugal, Italy and Cuba withher performance piece Transitory Places, which explores notions of home, a sense of belonging, theutopian dream of a perfect place, and ultimate disillusion in the pursuit of that ideal.Borderless consists of a wall installation, videoprojection and works on paper, all relating to themes ofexclusion, displacement of human spirit, and thebridging of social, political, and cultural barriersbetween people. One of her principal themes isdescribed as "social silence and its disruption byknowledge". Through her art, she seeks to speak onbehalf of exiles everywhere.Perunovich's work was shown at the 8th HavanaBiennial in Havana, Cuba, the Second Tirana Biennialin Tirana, Albania, the Xll International Art Biennialof Cerveira in Portugal, the lV Cetinje Biennial inYugoslavia, the Vl Vrsac Biennial in Serbia &Montenegro, and at the ARTiade 2004 in Athens,Vessna Perunovich, Soul Searching (2006), wall installation[The Stride Art Gallery, Calgary AB, Apr 4-May 10]Greece.

WHATCOM MUSEUM, BELLINGHAM WA – Mar 25-Aug 24 Northwest Master, Home and Away featuresthe life and art of Seattle native John Franklin Koenig (1924-2008) in a retrospective exhibition.Koenig had over 200 solo shows internationally throughout his prolific career. His life's journeywas similarly rich. Koenig frequently travelled to then-foreign places like Japan, Africa and theMiddle East. He embraced such principles as shibui, a Japanese word referring to simple, subtle andunobtrusive beauty. He also applied the spirit of Bauhaus to his artwork, writing, conversation andgardening. Koenig settled in Paris after WWII before returningto the Pacific Northwest. In 1979. His experiences andinjuries in the war taught him about the fragility of life andaffected his very personal approach to artmaking.Although Koenig was known mostly for his large-scalepaintings and lyrical abstractions, his artistic experimentationled him to work with other media like collage, printmaking,glass work, photography, fabric design, sculpture,ceramics and jewellery. Koenig began splitting his timebetween France and Seattle in the early 1980s. His work consistentlyretained such elements familiar to the Northwestregion as soft iridescent light and dramatic skies.As an artist Koenig was relatively autonomous. The retrospectivehighlights Koenig's approach to art, where the journeywas more important than the goal, and where boundariesbetween art and life dissolved. Covering 50 years of hiscareer, this survey includes glimpses into Koenig's studio,works in progress, sketches, quotes and documentation. Theexhibit is accompanied by a colour catalogue.

Practical Art History orConfessions of a Fine Art AppraiserChapter 14. A Case of being: under the table with Thomas AnfieldThe work had came up for auction upon the demise of the original owner, who was animportant, well respected supporter and collector of Thomas Anfield's work.My client had purchased the painting and Iwas engaged to facilitate the appraisal forinsurance purposes. Generally speaking,replacement cost, used to determine value forinsurance purposes, the amount of money theclient would need to replace the picture with apainting of similar size, medium and subjectmatter by the same artist.On the back of the canvas in bold blacklettering are the words “Me Under the Table”, andthe artist's signature, “Anfield” appears on thefront, lower centre.The title of the work, Me Under the Tablederives from memories of childhood when as theyoung Anfield was fond of sitting under the familydining room table. Suggestions of table legs, floorsurfaces, carpet, tablecloth and a loaf of bread forman illusionary space which invites the viewer toenter this voyeuristic other-world. The placementof a central image of a stylized table leg may allude to a spiritual component as suggested by acrucifixion tableau.The work references those recollections and in a more universal sense, suggests awhimsical association to "being under the table”j as in “I could drink you under the table”.The piece could also be read as a visual metaphor for the constant struggle artists in ourpresent day society contend with in an effort to secure their daily bread – which is often aboveand perhaps just out of their reach.In a conversation with the artist, Anfield mentioned that he viewed this piece as a veryimportant precursor to his latest body of work, Paintings From the Invisible University, as itengaged some of the issues he is presently addressing, particularly those relating to memoryand emotion.In Mexico, Anfield had participated in several mural projects and was very impressed andinfluenced by the use of textures in the work of Mexican muralists, especially Rufino Tamayo.This work is from the mid-1990s and the image size is approximately 43 x 43 inches. It isof acrylic on canvas with a textured ground created by adding sawdust into the middle layerof gesso. Gesso is the white primer used to prepare the canvas surface to receive and toseparate the paint layer from the canvas to prevent the oils in oil-based paint from percolatinginto the canvas and eventually causing deterioration. It is also used to prime the canvas toreceive an acrylic paint layer, however, due to the benign chemical composition of the binder(Rhoplex) used in acrylics, its separation properties are not as critical as in oil-based paints.The addition of sawdust not only creates a textured ground but also reduces the reflectiveproperties of the gesso by trapping more reflective light in the gesso layer, and thus helps tocreate the suggestion of a mural on a cementicious ground. Anfield's clever use of colourfurther helps to create the ‘presence’ of a mural.Next issue: The Case of being at the End of the Storm with Loren Adams.BY JIM FINLAYFINLAY FINE ARTWEALTH MANAGEMENTjim_finlay@telus.netThomas Anfield, Me Under the Table, acrylic on canvas(c. 1995), 43 × 43 inches, signed “Anfield ” front, lowercentre52 PREVIEW ■ APRIL/MAY 2008

Gary Pearson: The End is My BeginningKAMLOOPS ART GALLERY, KAMLOOPS BC – Mar 30-May 25 The End is My Beginning is a solo exhibitof new paintings and other works by B.C. artist Gary Pearson. Pearson’s works portray individualsand groups of people in semi-public and transient venues such as bars, diners or hotels. Hispaintings are often close to monochromatic withoff-key bursts of colour, and his use of patterning– words, palm trees, architectural features, andother symbols – is an important feature of thecompositions.Through the use of a deliberately crude drawingstyle, Pearson seeks to give his work a directand earthy character. His videos have a similarpainterly style and visual appearance. The End isMy Beginning features several recent works, aselection from his 2005 Greenville series (inspiredin part by the songs of Lucinda Williams), a groupGary Pearson, Please Don’t Smoke During the Concert (1999),oil, rubber stamp and collage paper on paper [Kamloops ArtGallery, Kamloops BC, Mar 30-May 25]previewwww.kag.bc.caof earlier drawings and two videos.

Pearson is an interdisciplinary artist who works primarily in painting and video. He hasbeen exhibiting internationally since 1983. His work in video includes experimental and documentarygenres.

Gabryel HarrisonGabryel Harrison, Flowers of Avernus (2008), oil andmixed media [Jacana Gallery, Vancouver BC, May 3-25]previewwww.jacanagallery.comJACANA GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – May 3-25 With her third solo exhibition at Jacana Gallery in somany years, Vancouver artist Gabryel Harrison delivers another passionate and edgy body of work.In some of the finest and most self-assured painting in Vancouver, Harrison plumbs the essence ofblood-red and labia-pink flowers in dripping and tumbling compositions of blossoms and buds. Hersearch for what she describes as “the pain and passion…the struggle and the ultimate surrender...of our own existence”is palpable, as if she has plunged her hands intothe darkness of entrails and wrenched flowers forwardonto the picture plane.Harrison paints primarily in oil on canvas, sometimeswith acrylic under-painting or touches of beeswax, tar andgold powder. The paintings in the exhibit range from 18inches to five feet. While earlier works featured singleblossoms or isolated florals on dark backgrounds, the newpaintings are lively fields of impressionist flowers in allstages of growth and disintegration. Forms “begin to losetheir edges, mirroring her belief that there is no real separation,only the veils of our limited awareness”. Sonorousand fiery, they simultaneously arouse feelings of mortalityand hope.Harrison has numerous educational credits, includingtwo years at the Vancouver Academy of Art, a diploma in Art Therapy, B.A. in Fine Arts (1983)from Ottawa University, a year at Toronto’s Ryerson Photographic Arts, and two years’ in liberal artsat the University of Victoria, B.C. Her studies of botanical forms and painting techniques have fusedin a highly idiosyncratic and fascinating personal style.

ALCHERINGA GALLERY, VICTORIA BC – Mar 12-Apr 23 Art of West Papua is a group showing of contemporaryworks collected by Vancouver professor Dr. John Moore between 1990-97 while heworked for the Eastern Indonesia University Development Project.The exhibit includes finely carved bowls, paddles and a remarkableselection of bark cloth paintings from Lake Sentani.The collection represents several ethnic groups of western NewGuinea: the Sentani and North Coast groups near Jayapura; theAsmat and Kamoro of the south coast between Agats and Timika;and the Biak-Yapen-Manokwari peoples, distributed around CenderawasihBay. Each group has a unique style of design that hasdeveloped independently and reflects distinctions in cultures andworld views.The tribespeople of West Papua live in an area of lush lowlandrain forests and glacier-capped peaks on the western side of theIsland of New Guinea, now knoiwn as Wet Papua, populated bystrange marsupials such as wallabies, tree kangaroos, cus-cus andspiny anteaters. Music, a vital part of their culture, is played on guitars,ukuleles, string bass and traditional hourglass-shaped drums.At least 250 languages are indigenous to the region west of theIndonesia/Papua New Guinea border.

Robert Morris: The Birthday BoySIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY GALLERY, BURNABY BC – Mar 29-May 3 The Birthday Boy is a twoscreenprojection of lectures presented by “art historians” – one male, one female – on the topic ofMichaelangelo’s David. In response to the critical commentary of each narrator, "David’s" appearanceon each screen changes accordingly. Simultaneously extremely funny and acerbic, the videosexamine the complex and gendered relationship between a work of art and critical commentary.Morris created The Birthday Boy for the Galleriadell' Accademia in Florence for David’s 500-yearanniversary in 2004. It was subsequently shown at theLouvre in 2007. The piece expands on the kinds of theoreticalconcerns Morris commonly addresses in hisartwork — the nature of perception, concepts of materiality,use of space and the process of artmaking. It alsoextends his work with notions of replication, photomontageand lip-synching since the early 1960s.Robert Morris was born in 1931 and is one of themost influential artists of the 20th Century. A pioneerof minimalist sculpture, process art and earthworks,Morris has also produced dance and performancepieces, prints, paintings, drawings, videos, films andinstallations, and worked with such diverse materialsas plywood, felt, dirt, aluminum, mirrors, steel mesh,previewwww.sfu.ca/galleryRobert Morris, still from The Birthday Boy (2004), dualscreenprojection, 35 mins.

Conservator’s CornerMalaspina Mural, an UpdateBY CHERYLE HARRISONCONSERV1@TELUS.NETNearly twelve years have elapsed since the emergency removal of five large murals wasundertaken prior to the demolition of the historic waterfront Malaspina Hotel in Nanaimo,British Columbia. The representative piece of thiscollection of rescued murals, Captain MalaspinaSketching the Galleries of Gabriola, was painted in1938, by the renowned artist, Edward J. Hughes.This large mural depicts a number of figuresgathered along a shoreline to study naturallyformed sandstone galleries. Due to the size of themural, 2.75 × 5.2 x .216 metres (9 × 17 × 0.71feet), and to other considerations, this mural wasremoved from the hotel in sections, weighingnearly 20,000 lbs.After many unsuccessful attempts to displaythis culturally significant mural, an ideal projectsite at the newly constructed NanaimoConference Centre, along with adequate publicart funding, and the enthusiastic support of the City of Nanaimo, presented itself. Still, itrequired public outcry, national radio coverage, newspaper articles, and declarations submittedby respected art historians, collectors, cultural groups,plus, two city council meetings, to achieve approval forthe mural's conservation and installation into its newhome.This mural project combines the expertise of twospecialists: myself as the conservator and concretestructural expert, Rory Le Brocq, of Cancor Cutting. Theconservation and preparation of this mural for itsinstallation into the Conference Centre is presentlyunderway.The conservation treatment includes the repair ofpre-existing nail holes, structural cracks, paint loss,damage from an earlier boiler explosion, and theresults of years of use, environment, and age.Additional repairs are required as the mural sectionswere moved and stored in a number of locations, andwere subjected to freezing temperatures and wetconditions. After conservation is completed, the muralswill be secured within a custom metal framework andhanging armature, followed by installation at theE.J. Hughes mural prior to removal from MalaspinaHotel. Wood stud attached to front of mural.Conference Centre site.The conservation and installation of E.J. Hughes'mural, completes the cycle of a preservation project, andserves to illustrate the patience and commitment requiredto safeguard our heritage. It is essential that our culture exists as more than mere photographsor pages within a book. We need our history to surround us, and to lend value and inspirationto our everyday lives.Conservator’s Corner articles are archived on-line at: www.preview-art.com.NEXT ISSUE: The Collaborative Emily Carr ProjectConservator Cheryle Harrison, and concrete specialist Rory LeBrocq, at the conservation worksite.www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 65

Fernanda D'Agostino: Motion StudiesELIZABETH LEACH GALLERY, PORTLAND OR – Apr 3-26 Fernanda D'Agostino has created numerousunique public art projects and installations in Oregon and Washington. Motion Studies investigatesparallels between art and science through a collaboration with University of Portland biologyprofessor Bret Tobalske. Tobalske's research into the physics of bird flight helped generate much of themoving imagery that D'Agostino utilizes inher new work.Footage formulated by using Dr. Tobalske'sfluid imaging system, known as a digital particleimage velocimetry, examines the structureand momentum of flying birds. D'Agostino'svideo translation reveals a non-literal explorationof bodily flight that she describes as an"otherness" of wild creatures. She animatesthe gallery space by projecting the videossequences onto wing-like sculptures, createdfrom stainless steel and hand-painted mylar,that are suspended in the gallery. Smaller wallmountedmonitors display still image detailsfrom the video to a soundtrack of digitallypreviewwww.elizabethleach.comFernanda D'Agostino, Flight Studies Installation (2007), Digitalvideo, steel, mylar [Elizabeth Leach Gallery, Portland OR, Apr 3-26]manipulated bird songs. Additional layers of footage, including bird mating dances and scenes ofmigration, were shot in collaboration with cinematographer Harry Dawson on location in Portland.In a second installation of blown-glass forms created with Carl Weiss of Tosoh Quartz in Beaverton,Oregon, D'Agostino explores notions of fluid dynamics which is the study of liquids and gases inmotion. She simultaneously draws on European glass-blowing traditions for making scientific instrumentsand on samples of Renaissance studies of fluids in motion.D'Agostino's work reveals that the same set of equations govern the physics of birds in flight, theformations of galaxies, river and ocean currents, as well as a myriad of other natural phenomena. It isthis inherent connectivity among larger systems that she seeks to evoke in her concurrent installations.Allyn CantorPHOTO: BRIAN FOULKESOREGONCANNON BEACH★ Northwest ByNorthwest Gallery232 N Spruce (Downtown acrossfrom City Park and Info Center)✆(503)436-0741 800-494-0741www.NWBYNWGALLERY.common-sat 11am-5pm sun 11am-4pmand by appt.

Maude KernsGUESTROOM GALLERY & KATAYAMA FRAMING, PORTLAND OR – Mar 14-Apr 26 Curated byBill Rhoades, Maude Kerns is a major survey of Kerns' life work. It includes nearly eighty piecesshown in two Portland locations. The exhibit at Guestroom Gallery focusses on prints and smallerpaintings, while the exhibit at Katayama Framing featuresKerns' larger oils. This is the first time in fifteen years thatKerns' work has been exhibited in Portland.Maude Kerns (1876-1965) was ahead of her time as thefirst West Coast female artist to practice principles of nonobjectiveart. Considered to be a pioneer of modern painting inthe Pacific Northwest, Kerns worked in a style that closelyparalleled innovations in New York modernism during the1940s.Kerns' avant-garde paintings encompassed elements ofabstract expressionism while conventional styles were stillfavoured in the Northwest. Her travels to Asia and Europe(where she was exposed to the works of Wassily Kandinsky,Piet Mondrian and Paul Klee), influenced her style. In particular,she embraced the art-as-spiritual-expression philosophyof Kandinsky. She also studied under notables such asHans Hofmann and Rolph Scarlett. Her energetic works andinternational exhibiting record earned her a greater reputationin New York than in her native Portland, Oregon.previewwww.guestroomgallery.comMaude Kerns, The Enigma (1962), oil on canvas[Guestroom Gallery and Katayama Framing,Portland OR, Mar 14-Apr 26]Today, Kerns is also remembered for her contributions as an extraordinary teacher and generousbenefactor at the University of Oregon (where she taught from 1921-1947), and for her work as asfounder of the Eugene Art Center which is was re-named the Maude Kerns Art Center.

Josiah McElheny: The Last Scattering SurfaceJosiah McElheny, The Last Scattering Surface (2006), handblownglass, chrome plated aluminum, rigging and electric lighting [HenryArt Gallery, Seattle WA, Apr 5-Jul 13]HENRY ART GALLERY, SEATTLE WA – Apr 5-Jul 13 Josiah McElheny’s work injects the formal andtechnical sophistication of studio glass into the realm of conceptual art. His masterfully craftedpieces have often worked with the reflective elements of sculpture in reflective spaces. The LastScattering Surface, McElheny’s latest installation at the Henry Art Gallery, is a ten-foot floatingspherical work in glass, metal and electric lights that evokes the Big Bang theory. Utilizing the languageof mid-1960’s industrial design, McElhenyis interested in the legacy of 20th centurymodernism and the crucial point in historywhere a singular, linear notion of historygave way to pluralism and a multitude of narratives.The Last Scattering Surface is a scientificterm used to describe a moment when theuniverse transitioned from opaque to transparent,and when light particles that composedall space and matter began to disperse.With the realization of the Big Bang Theoryin 1965 so too came the unfolding of thisconcept. Through collaborations with cosmologyprofessor David Weinberg of the Universityof Ohio, this became the underlyingprinciple of McElheny’s sculptures which are created with scientific accuracy and precision. Theexhibit also includes a number of concept drawings as well as McElheny’s first film, shot on locationat the Metropolitan Opera House, featuring the Lobmeyr Chandeliers which were commissionedshortly after the confirmation of the Big Bang to have a “galactic appearance.”McElheny received a MacArthur Fellowship in 2006. He has exhibited internationally and hiswork is included in numerous prominent collections such as the Museum of Modern Art in NewYork and the Tate Modern in London.

Mandy Greer: Dare alla LuceMandy Greer, Dare alla Luce (2008) [detail], installation[Bellevue Arts Museum, Bellevue WA, May 6-Aug 3]COLLECTION OF NINAH AND MICHAEL LYNNE; COURTESY OF PPOW GALLERYpreviewwww.bellevuearts.orgBELLEVUE ARTS MUSEUM, BELLEVUE WA – May 6-Aug 3 In Mandy Greer's ambitious new roomsizeinstallation, Dare alla Luce, the Seattle-based artist re-invents through a canopy of thrift-storematerials, an imitation of Jacopo Tintoretto's painting, The Origin of the Milky Way. The 16th Centurypainting depicts the infant Hercules being held to the breast of sleeping Juno by Jupiter whowishes to immortalize the infant. Greer's title, Dare alla Luce, is Italian for “to give to the light” andis suggestive of the process of giving birth. Juno's awakening and rejection of the child caused milkto spurt upward to form the Milky Way and downward to create lilies. Greer distills this elusivenarrative into an archetypal tale that embodies the collective experience.Featured as part of a larger selection of works from the last decade, Dare alla Luce is Greer'smost detailed and largest artwork to date. In the theatrical installation, she has created a chandelier-likeforest of vines, branches and leaves. Hundreds of yards of braided, beaded, knitted andstitched forms drape from the ascending height of the exhibit space. Glass blobs are crocheted intothe greenery like lavish fruits. A blackbird with spreadwings, perched on a black beaded branch, symbolizesthe night-time sky. Milk and stars spill from the beakwhile the bird's tail becomes earthly flora. The diligenceof Greer's process and scale is coupled with theorganic intricacies and sensuality of her chosen material.Mandy Greer is a sculptor and mixed-media installationartist with an M.F.A. in ceramics from the Universityof Washington, where she held a Jacob K.Javitz National Graduate Fellowship. Greer received aB.F.A. in ceramics and a B.A. in English from the Universityof Georgia. In Washington, she has shown atthe Bellevue Arts Museum, Tacoma Art Museum andthe Kirkland Arts Center. In Seattle, she has exhibited at The Henry Gallery, 4Culture Gallery, SoilGallery, Consolidated Works and Priceless Works Gallery. She has also shown at the Tampa Museumof Art, Florida.
