Anne Siems: TableauLAURA RUSSO GALLERY, PORTLAND OR – Jun 7-30 Tableau by Seattle-based artist Anne Siemsfeatures lone, 19th Century-style women set against landscapes that appear to be stage backdrops.By combining elements of still life, landscape andportraiture, she creates compositions that evoke a quiet,clandestine sense of place. In Viola, for example, strangevestiges hang unnoticed beside a figure whose gaze ismoody and gently contemplative. Overall, the newpaintings have a more object-based reality than Siems'previous work, where she placed her introspectivefigures and dress forms against textured and painterlybackgrounds with no apparent reference to real spaces.The female figures and landscape formations havea pseudo-historic feeling. Garments, personalpossessions and hairstyles are reminiscent of ourancestors. Her European folk-art style of painting, thenostalgic objects and the incongruent narratives alludeto a romanticized dreamscape where mementos offrivolous beauty are combined with vibrant flowers,animals and mysterious relics. A bizarre, otherworldlytone in Siems' work recalls daydreams, memorabiliaand connections to history.previewwww.laurarusso.comAnne Siems, Viola (2007), mixed media [Laura RussoGallery, Portland OR, Jun 7-30]Anne Siems was born in Berlin and received her MFA from Hochschule der Kunste. She hasexhibited in galleries throughout the United States, since 1987 when she was a Fulbright Scholar.Her work is represented in prominent collections, including the Tacoma Art Museum.

SKEW GALLERY, CALGARY AB – Jun 28-Aug 4 Andy Fabo is a Calgary-born and internationallyrecognized artist, activist, critic and curator. Since 1975, he has lived and worked in Toronto where,in the 1980s, he became known as a painter associatedwith ChromaZone. This influential collective was at theforefront of Toronto's figurative painting movement.Fabo's work, primarily drawing, installation, video anddigital imaging, explores issues of personal identitywith a focus on his own gay identity. He has receivednumerous grants from the Canada Council for the Arts,the Ontario Arts Council and the Toronto Arts Council.Queen Street Desperados is Fabo’s first solo exhibit inCalgary in over fifteen years. The brightly-colouredsilkscreen paintings depict various personalities fromToronto's Queen Street art scene. Both satirical andserious, they have been described as “pondering ourcompulsion for masquerade - an impulse oftensanctioned by annual rituals such as Halloween andMardi Gras…” and “reflecting the preoccupation withdrag as a metaphor for aesthetic artifice that occurs inthe work of Marcel Duchamp and Andy Warhol”.previewemail: info@skewgallery.comAndy Fabo: Queen Street DesperadosAndy Fabo, The Fighting Mr. K (2006), silk screen painting[Skew Gallery, Calgary AB, Jun 28-Aug 4]Throughout a career spanning nearly three decades, Andy Fabo's work has been exhibitedextensively in Canada, the United States and the UK.

GALLERY VIEWSBY ANN ROSENBERGLess Is More in the expanded SAMThe Seattle Art Museum recently opened twoamenities that augment SAM’s capacity to displayits growing collections and to install special exhibitions.The institution’s new nine acre OlympicSculpture Park (devoted to 20 and 21st centurythree-dimensional works) opened in January thisyear. In a 35 hour-long event on May 5-6, the90,000 square foot addition to the museum’salready-established home of its North American,European, African and Oceanic holdings becameavailable for public viewing. Portland-based architectBrad Cloepfil’s addition to Robert Venturi’s1991 edifice provided more space for improvedpresentation, educational amenities, a bigger shop,a ‘proper’ restaurant, and exhibiting gallerieswhere light levels within and views to the outsidecould be controlled via easy to operate steel, brisesoleil window shields. According to impromptucomments on the Internet, the addition is “ridiculouslycool” and it “made the Venturi grand staircasework.” The title of an article by Regina Hackett– “Not a show piece, but a show place” – sumsup the favourable response SAM’s 2007 additionhas, on the whole, elicited.The 1300 First Avenue exterior of Cloepfil’sextension does not make a seamless liaison withVenturi’s Post Modern composition it conjoins. It’sNewly opened addition to the Seattle Art Museum, exteriorview of First Avenue and Union Streeta contrapuntal link that’s true to Cloepfil’s own taste for a Modernism that evolved out of theMies van der Rohe “Less Is More” aesthetic. ‘Beauty’ in this latter approach, results from excellentcomposition and use of materials. Cloepfil’s arresting 18 storey tower is cloaked in gray steelelements and glass panels that are blue or grey under different light conditions and mirror everythingthat surrounds them in an ephemeral fashion. In the Venturi 14 floor building, the artisticeffects are applied elements like the textured, non-reflective paneling and the fanciful stripedarchways which do not ‘react’ or ‘reflect’ city life. The top two floors of the older edifice abovethose veneered with opaque cladding, are a Mies-inspired structure of mullions and glass towhich Cloepfil’s entire design makes witty reference.The new tower is the result of a clever arrangement between SAM and Washington Mutual, abank that is making Seattle its home base. The museum occupies the lowest four floors of abuilding in which the financial institution owns the top four and currently rents the eight ‘galleryequipped’ storeys in between. While WaMu awaits the completion of its own 42 storey highrisenext door, it has a high-profile ‘address’ and SAM can progress carefully into future expansion asits bottom line permits.The Seattle Art Museum’s new logo projects out over University Street like a handshakeannouncing “I am SAM”.PHOTO BY RICHARD BARNESAnn Rosenberg is a Vancouver-based freelance curator, critic and author.26 PREVIEW

TOUCHSTONES NELSON: MUSEUM OFART AND HISTORY, NELSON BC – throughAug 5 River of Memory is a travellingexhibition developed by the WenatcheeValley Museum and Cultural Center inWashington. The exhibit portrays theentire length of the Columbia River as itonce appeared through sixty historicalphotographs and the writings of earlyexplorers, surveyors, and naturalists, aswell as writings by contemporaryCanadian and American writers and poets.Above the installations, 143 hand-paintedsilk fish represent all species ever found inthe river’s 2000 kilometre length.previewwww.touchstonesnelson.caRiver of Memory: The Everlasting ColumbiaGrace Christiansen Gardner, Priest Rapids (1938), photograph [TouchstonesNelson: Museum of Art and History, Nelson BC, through Aug 5]River of Memory plays an important role in introducing, what exhibition curator Bill Laymancalls “whole river understanding.” The Columbia River flows from the mountains of BC throughoutWashington to Oregon’s pacific coast. It was divided in the 20th century by fourteen hydroelectricdams and reservoirs that control floods, provide irrigation and supply electricity. The photographsin the exhibition capture its origins as a series of waterways for salmon, First Nations settlements,fur-trade routes, agricultural communities, and a highway for commercial stern-wheelers andrailway links. The focus is on early European exploration of the Columbia from the 1880s to theearly 1900s, and the exhibition questions the kinds of economic, geographic, archeological andcultural changes caused by the river’s displacement since that time.Toured by the Wenatchee Valley Museum and Cultural Center, River of Memory will visit fiveNorthwest museums over the next two years, including Touchstones Nelson, the Royal BritishColumbia Museum in Victoria, the NW Museum of Art and Culture, in Spokane, as well as Tacomaand Portland. A 150-page book accompanies the exhibition.

Practical Art History orConfessions of a Fine Art AppraiserChapter 10. The Case of Cornelis the Copyist.Recently, while wandering around a local antiques andcollectibles show, I happened upon an interesting black ink,unframed engraving on paper. I was struck by the large size ofthe work, approx. 27.4 × 21.4 cm. (10.5 × 8.5 in.) and also, theunusual subject matter and composition.The image depicts a shepherd wearing a hat and holding astaff with both hands. He is riding a horse into the landscapeparallel to the axis of the viewer and is about to cross a shallowriver. A cow at his right, travelling in the same direction and adisinterested goat, linger behind. Immediately to his left on theriver shore is a woman with a staff in her right hand and a fullbag cradled in her left. Her dog, which appears to be travellingwith her, cowers at her right side, presumably at the sight of thehorse and shepherd. In the far landscape, above a mountainousC. de Visscher, Shepherd in Skin Vest.outcrop stand the ruins of a tower.Visual elements in the image suggest a definite delineation between the labours of men andwomen and perhaps insight into their respective positions in 17th century agrarian society. Theman on horseback, with his animals, leading the viewer into the landscape is contrasted by thewoman on foot, passing in the opposite direction, with perhaps a bag of grain under her arm andsupported by elements of domesticity, such as the dog. The positioning of the staffs in the handsof both figures form a strong diagonal, from upper right to lower left.The work was in good condition, although there was some browning. In the top right of theimage appeared the words Berghem Delineavit with C. Visscher f. below. In the bottom centre,outside the image, appeared the words Nicolaus Visscher excudit and at the extreme right, outsidethe image appeared the numeral “1”.As I entered the booth to take a better look, the merchant offered the work for $25. As theshow was about to close and I presume he did not want to take his unsold merchandise back tothe store, he offered the piece at $15. At his insistence, I reluctantly purchased the work.I knew something about antique engravings and my curiosity led me to research the work. Iknew that the engraving was of the period and an engraved copy of an oil on canvas painting byNicolaes Pietersz Brechem (1620-1683) as evidenced by the words Berghem Delineavit (Berchempainted this). I also knew that C. Visscher f. indicated that C. (Cornelis) Visscher f (fecit) made ormanufactured the engraving and the words Nicolaus Visscher excudit indicated that NicolausVisscher had printed or published the engraving.What I did not know was that an exact multiple of the same engraving was in the permanentcollection of the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria and appeared in the catalogue, Dutch 17th CenturyPrints. The catalogue listed works, which toured the country in 1981-1982. Further researchindicated that another exact multiple was in the permanent collection of the Fine Arts Museum ofSan Francisco. The work was titled Shepherd in Skin Vest, and is also known as Man on Horsebackwith Cow and Sheep; Woman and Dog Crossing a River.Cornelis Visscher, designer and engraver was born in Harlem, Netherlands around 1628 anddied there about 1658. His family was very influential in the engraving industry and worksengraved by Cornelis were often published by another family member, Nicolaus.I believe the work to be an authentic, original 17th century engraving by the listed DutchMaster, Cornelis de Visscher (circa 1628-1658).NEXT ISSUE: THE CASE OF RED FISH WITH BLUE BREASTS.BY JIM FINLAYJAMES FINLAYFINE ART WEALTH MANAGEMENTjim_finlay@telus.net46 PREVIEW

Simon Dick: In FlightINUIT GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Jun 23-Jul 13 As thegrandson of hereditary chiefs on both sides of his family,Simon Dick has been instrumental in preserving the history,legends, music and art of his culture. He is an educationalambassador for his community, an expert carver, and arenowned Kwakwaka’wakw mask dancer who has representedhis people around the world. In his first solo exhibition of art,Kwakiutl artist Simon Dick presents a series of carvings andjewellery pieces based on the theme of birds.As a dancer for the Hamatsa secret society, Dick’s role as theGrouse is to call forth the other dances. The bird masks in thisexhibit, which he created from red cedar, cedar bark, feathersand bits of fur, demonstrate the degree to which his ceremonialartworks are a labour of love. The masks, like his dancing, areexuberant, lively, technically elaborate works of art.Simon Dick grew up in Kingcome Inlet, BC and latermoved to Alert Bay. He apprenticed under Tony Hunt Sr. forfour years at the Arts Of The Raven studio in Victoria, andunder Sam Henderson in Campbell River.

Peng Liu: Solids: BoundJACANA Contemporary Art, VANCOUVER BC – June 2-24 Beijing artist Peng Liu moved to Canadain 2000 and opened the Jacana Gallery. His background includes painting, performances, cinematicwork and a Diploma in Film Direction from the Beijing Film Institute, as well as four years at theHeilongjiang Fine Arts Institute. JACANA Contemporary Artrepresents a variety of Canadian and international artists withspecial attention to contemporary Asian art. JACANA'smandate is to recognize the rapidly developing currents inAsian fine art and their influence on Canadian culture andsociety. The gallery exhibits a mix of modern landscape,abstract and realist work.Solids:Bound is an exhibition of work by Peng Liu with twocomponents: an installation and paintings using ropes oncanvas. For the installation, Liu employs ropes to suspendChinese furniture in the air, an act that moves them from thefunctional to the merely decorative and curious. Liu describesthe installation as a metaphor for his ties to Chinese cultureand his simultaneous sense of displacement as an immigrant inthe West.The paintings result from an elaborate crafts procedureusing ropes of different colours, textures, diameters andlengths. After joining side-by-side canvasses with piles ofcolourful ropes and a mixture of glue and oil pigments, heallows the surfaces to dry before cutting them apart again.

Conservator’s CornerTreatment of an Elizabeth Keith wood block printWho was Elizabeth Keith?? Those in theknow can skip this part, but if you are like me,the answer was – “Qui?”As I have since learned, she was a selftaughtBritish artist who, in 1915, travelled toTokyo to visit her sister. Long story short, shefell in love with the Orient, and held an exhibitof locally inspired watercolours and drawings,that caught the attention of ShosaburoWatanabe.Watanabe was a publisher with a visionand an art marketer extraordinaire. He revivedthe dying art of woodblock printing byencouraging artists to incorporate Westernaesthetics into traditional ukiyo-e style andthemes. The resulting hybrid became knownas the Shin Hanga (“New Print”), and, as socleverly planned by Watanabe, prints of thisgenre became best sellers in North Americaand Europe.Watanabe encouraged Keith to work withwood block cutters to translate her watercoloursinto prints. By the time she left Japan in 1924,she had published over a hundred prints withhim, and put on successful shows in Japan,London and New York.Lama Temple Peking was printed in 1922. ItBY REBECCA PAVITTWWW.FINEARTCONSERVE.COMcame to my studio with discoloured and damaged margins, so typical of many Japanese woodblock prints. In addition, there was light overall discolouration, a rust stain on the right marginand some localized fading of the red colour.The challenge with these types of prints is to clean them without disturbing the colour. Inthis case, the print was floated on a deionized water bath with an EDTA chelating agent. TheEDTA helps draw out discolouration, making for quicker and more efficient cleaning, reducingthe time that the print is exposed to water. EDTA also binds with metal ion, and so reduces thechance of future metal catalyzed chemical reactions. Float washing allows discolouration to bedrawn out from the reverse, without having to immerse the more sensitive front.The margins were further treated with dilute hydrogen peroxide bleach applied locally witha brush. The print was rinsed by floating on successive deionized water baths, and transferringto a suction table, where the margins were further rinsed.Losses in the upper right margin were filled with paper inserts cut from Japanese kozo paper,and set in place using methylcellulose adhesive. At the owner’s request, areas where the redcolour had faded were lightly toned with watercolour.One of the many pleasures of conservation is learning about the passions of my differentclients. This has introduced me to a wide variety of artists and images that I might otherwisenever have discovered, a lovely perk of the profession.Conservator’s Corner articles are archived on-line at: www.preview-art.com.NEXT ISSUE: Emily Carr frame restoration.Before treatmentAfter treatment64 PREVIEW

ATELIER GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Jun 16-Jul 7 Drawing Never Died is a selection of new work onpaper by artists Sonja Ahlers, Haydex Li, Laura Piasta, Maxwell Simmer, Corin Sworn, Ryan Taberand Sydney Vermont. Using a variety of mediums, some not necessarily thought of as drawingmaterials, they variously explore figuration, still life, architecture, suburban development and thelandscape.Sonja Ahlers has been described as “an archaeologist of popular culture” for her collages of thriftstore items combined with drawing in a poster-like manner. They share a narrative quality with thework by Corin Sworn, who examines experimental philosophies of early childhood, particularlychild-centered education.Sydney Vermont’s figure studies are inspired bycharacters in French New Wave films, pages fromMadame Bovary, and MySpace pages of localmusicians. Ryan Taber’s elaborate historical dramasresult from his research; for example, in recentdrawings he merges tombs of the Roman Emperorswith detailed examinations of misclassified species.Laura Piasta constructs unusual geometriccompositions reminiscent of Buckminster Fuller. Ina more traditional drawing style, Haydex Li createsbeautiful graphite renderings of suburban buildingsthat emphasize piles of demolition andconstruction, while Maxwell Simmer usespreviewDrawing Never Died: New Work on Paper www.ateliergallery.caHaydex Li, Interval 01 (2006), ink on paper [Atelier Gallery,Vancouver BC, Jun 16-Jul 7]traditional watercolour techniques for his rambling still-life studies of objects selected from foundphotographs.

ROYAL BC MUSEUM, VICTORIA BC – through Jul 4The controversial Dundas Collection is asignificant compilation of First Nations treasures.Reverend Robert J. Dundas first acquired it in1863 at the village of Metlakatla, a TsimshianFirst Nations settlement near what today is thesite of Prince Rupert, British Columbia. Most ofthe objects belonged to Tsimshian grand chiefPaul Legaic before he converted to Christianityand was required, by custom of the era, to giveup objects connected to the "pagan" practices oftraditional native spirituality. A selection of hisformer possessions is currently on display at theRoyal BC Museum (RBCM) for the first time inmore than a century.previewwww.royalbcmuseum.bc.caTreasures of the Tsimshian from the Dundas CollectionTreasures of the Tsimshian from the Dundas Collection, RavenMask (mask with movable jaw and eyes) [Royal BC Museum,Victoria BC, through Jul 4]Treasures of the Tsimshian consists of 40 artefacts auctioned by Sotheby’s in October 2006 to agroup of eleven owners who included Federal heritage officials, museum curators and aboriginalleaders. The Sotheby's auction in New York took in a total of $7.03 million US, setting a record forthe sale of native art. Pieces in the exhibition include two wooden face masks, a clan hat and tworare clubs made of carved antler.Representatives from RBCM and the Museum of Northern BC worked closely with hereditarychiefs and elders of the Allied Tsimshian Tribes of Lax Kw' Alaams and Metlakatla to develop theexhibition. The chiefs asked that the travelling exhibit begin in Tsimshian territory, where theseimportant cultural pieces originated and where their children and elders would be the first to seethem.

Tracey McGlynn: Your ArkBAU-XI GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Aug 11-25 Toronto artist Casey McGlynn creates paintingswith the child-like quality of primitive art combined with an adolescent sensibility. The dreamlikenarratives contain symbolic motifs and roughiconic imagery that evoke simple art forms likequilt patterns, folk art, tattoo designs and comicbooks. His images are highly personal andidiosyncratic, much like folk art. McGlynn has, infact, shown his work at such venues as theOutsider Art Fair in New York and the ModernPrimitive Gallery in Atlanta.In “your ark”, McGlynn revisits sheep imagerythat first appeared in his work in the mid-1990s.He seems to be searching for an essentialphilosophy of life that involves personal reflection,autobiography, emotional expression and a dreamysurrealism. Frequent subject matter includes herdsof domestic animals against colourful patchworkpreviewwww.bau-xi.comTracey McGlynn, Your Art (2007), mixed media on canvas[Bau-Xi Gallery, Vancouver BC, Aug 11-25]backgrounds; child-like drawings of houses, plants and leaves; and rudimentary asexual figures –all with an emphasis on silhouette-like shapes.While still a student at the Ontario College of Art and Design in 1998, McGlynn beganshowing at the Bau-Xi Gallery in Toronto.

Rembrandt and the Golden Age of Dutch Art:Treasures from the Rijksmuseum, AmsterdamPORTLAND ART MUSEUM, OR – Jun 2-Sept 16 With a focus on the work of Rembrandt vanRijn, Rembrandt and the Golden Age of Dutch Art: Treasures from the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdamhighlights the artistry of Holland’s “Golden Age” with exceptional examples of 17th Centurypaintings, etchings and pieces of decorative and applied arts. Included in the exhibit are works byJan Steen, Frans Hals, Pieter de Hooch and Jacob van Ruisdael.While Amsterdam’s famed Rijksmuseum is under renovation, this traveling exhibition allowsviewers a glimpse of many artworks never before exhibited in the United States. The imagesprovide a window into the lives and values of a timeduring which the Republic of United Netherlandsbecame recognized as an independent state, freed fromSpanish domination. Economic growth during thishistorical period led to a modern, urban society and anexpanded middle class. Art was bought and sold in a freemarket rather than through commissions by the churchor nobility. With the exception of Rembrandt, whodemonstrated mastery in every genre, artists were finallyable to specialize and create a niche for their work.The exhibit is organized into themed sections, eachincluding work by Rembrandt. The Artists and TheirWorld, which includes Rembrandt's Self-Portrait as theApostle Paul (1661), highlights self-portraiture andportraits of colleagues. Still-Life and the Applied Arts revelsin the excellence of applied art during this era. TheCity/Commerce illustrates the prosperity of internationaltrade and the emerging middle class. The Countrysideincludes realistic landscapes and demonstrates theinterest by some Dutch painters in rural Italy. Otherthematic groupings include Religious Images and Objects;previewwww.portlandartmuseum.orgFrans Hals, Portrait of a Man, Possibly NicolaesHasselar, Brewer and Captain-Major of the Civic Guardin Amsterdam (c. 1633-1635), oil [Portland ArtMuseum, Portland OR, Jun 2-Sept 16]Burghers, Regents and Aristocrats in the Republic – many of whom could afford to commissionportraits of their families; and Genre Painting, which embodies the essence of everyday 17thcentury life in Holland.

COLLECTION: THE BURKE MUSEUM, UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON. PHOTO BY GARY FIEGEHEN COURTESY OF THE SQUAMISH NATIONStitúyntm/Enduring TraditionsSel’selten (spindle whorl), Squamish culture,North Vancouver BC, (19th C.), maple wood,[West Vancouver Museum, West VancouverBC, through Aug 31]previewwww.wvma.netWEST VANCOUVER MUSEUM, WEST VANCOUVER BC –through Aug 31 “Stitúyntm” is an exhibit of the “EnduringTraditions” of the Squamish Nation, a Coastal Salish peoplewhose traditional territory ranges from the Lower Mainland ofBritish Columbia to Howe Sound and the Squamish Valleywatershed. The exhibit is a partnership between the SquamishNation community and the West Vancouver Museum. Itcomplements the Squamish Sculpture Symposium bycoinciding with the unveiling of Sna7m Smánit (Spirit of theMountain), by Squamish artist Xwa lack tun at Ch’tl’am(Ambleside Park).The Squamish, and other Coast Salish peoples, have anancient and distinctive art style dating back thousands of years.Most visible is the skilled use of negative space in twodimensionaldesigns on houseposts, spindle whorls, rattles andbracelets. Subject matter shows spiritual encounters betweenhumans and animals, animals in pursuit of one another, andface-to-face encounters. The realistic-looking animal figures have rounded heads and bodies withoval-shaped eyes, and the paint colours – when used – are subdued and true to life. Since the1970s, artists have also expressed traditional designs as prints on paper.The art forms are entwined with other aspects of the culture, such as language, song, dance,storytelling and theatre. They are also closely connected with the work of three important figureswho influence the creation of aesthetic object: the Indian Doctor, the Prophet and the Ritualist.Contemporary artists, such as Chief Floyd Joseph of the Squamish Nation and Stan Greene of theSto:lo and Semiahmoo communities, have mastered the Coast Salish art style through careful studyand replication of the surviving masterpieces.★ Burke Museum ofNatural History andCultureUniversity of Washington, 17th AveNE and NE 45thSt ✆(206)543-5590www.burkeblog.orgdaily 10am-5pm Thru Sep 3 In theSpirit of the Ancestors: ContemporaryNorthwest Coast Native Art, firstexhibition of the Burke’s contemporaryNorthwest Coast collection thatfeatures a broad mix of media, includingsculpture, weaving, paintings andprints; Jun 16-Dec 31 Florian Schulz,“Yellowstone to Yukon: Freedom toRoam”, wildlife photographs withcompelling environmental issue - theneed to protect the natural corridorsthat give wildlife the freedom to movethrough their traditional ranges andmaintain healthy populations.★ Canlis Glass Gallery3131 Western Ave, Suite 329✆(206)282-4428www.canlisglass.comtues-sat 11am-7pm and by appt.

MARION SCOTT GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Jul 21-Aug 31 Cape Dorset artist Sheojuk Etidlooiehad a short but extremely productive career of only five years. Using an enigmatic abstract style,she produced strikingly spare images based on motifs taken from everyday northern life. Sheoften used an aerial or diagrammatic perspective. Although subjects included such man-madeobjects as pails, stone lamps, traditional flotation devices and tents, as well as caribou, fish,whales and birds, her work was unique in its nonnarrativeapproach.Etidlooie was born in 1932 in an outpost camp onsouthern Baffin Island, near the present-day settlementof Cape Dorset. She developed a unique sense of colourand design from years of sewing traditional patternedclothing, and the iteration of motifs became a strongelement of her art. In the mid-1990s, she was invited tomake drawings for the West Baffin EskimoCooperative, Cape Dorset’s renowned art studio. In1994, one of her images was selected for inclusion inthe Cape Dorset Annual Print Release. The edition soldout within days of its release, and her worksubsequently was included in each annual collectionpreviewwww.marionscottgallery.comNorthern Line: Drawings by Sheojuk Etidlooie (1932-1999)Sheojuk Etidlooie, Untitled (seal-skin float) (1998),pencil crayon on paper [Marion Scott Gallery,Vancouver BC, Jul 21-Aug 31]until 1999. She also participated in an oil-stick painting workshop in 1999. This experimentationresulted in a series of brilliantly-coloured oil stick paintings on board. Etidlooie continued tomake drawings prolifically until succumbing to cancer in 1999.The Marion Scott Gallery presents the first exhibition in nearly a decade of Etidlooie’sunconventional art, “a singular contribution to Inuit art and to Canadian art more generally thathas not yet been fully recognized,” writes the director. The show includes 25 of her simple butcolourful drawings accompanied by a small catalogue.Jun 30 Claudia Fitch, “Sculpture andDrawings”; Jul-Aug Contact the galleryfor exhibition information.★ Henry Art GalleryFaye G.

Rick Araluce: The Stolen HoursWILLIAM TRAVER GALLERY, SEATTLE WA – Jul 6-29 RickAraluce is a Seattle-based artist known for miniature mixedmediaconstructions that realistically capture every detail of"lost" archaic places. For The Stolen Hours, Araluce isconstructing an engrossing life-size rendition of what heusually creates on a miniature scale. Rather than using foundparts, he built or made everything in the installation,including the linoleum. Araluce is also showing severalmeticulous small pieces, some of which have directreferences to the larger environment. The installation itselfpromises to be as dark and haunting as previous work.Araluce's settings are poetic but ominous. Impliedtragedies and other narratives are generated by the stainedsurface of a wall, cracked brick facades, old floor boards andother decaying scenarios. The scenes seem frozen in time,leaving uneasy traces as evidence for scrutiny.Araluce is a scenic designer for the Seattle Opera. Hereceived a City Artist Projects Grant from the Seattle Office ofArts and Cultural Affairs to create this impressive sitespecificwork. He writes: “There will be no sheet of glass toprevent you from entering my world. Gallery visitors willpreviewwww.travergallery.comRick Araluce, The Failure [detail] (2007), mixedmedia [William Traver Gallery, Seattle WA, Jul6-29]inhabit this space and be able to turn doorknobs and peer through grimy windows as a voyeur tothe understated narrative”.
