www.cristallgallery.comEric Deis: Shadows Cast on Imagination's PastELISSA CRISTALL GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Oct 1-29, 2009Shadows Cast on Imagination's Past by Vancouver artist EricDeis features mesmerizing photographs from Vancouver,Tokyo and the Canadian Arctic. Deis’ large-scale images,over a gigapixel in resolution, have a remarkable claritythat completely immerses the viewer. The almost surrealistimages are captured with a virtual-view camera using a customdigital-analogue system developed by Deis.Many of the large-format archival inkjet prints depictbuildings and construction sites in Vancouver’s DowntownEastside. They have a clear, even quality of light and apainfully exquisite sense of fine detail. At the same time,they appear almost illustrative, like dioramas or theatre sets.His iconic bird’s-eye image Hipsters and Drug Dealer capturesa panoramic view of Vancouver at night, with the historicDominion Building at centre stage and a small dramaEric Deis, Rose Marry (June 2. 2008), archivalinkjet print [Elissa Cristall Gallery, Vancouver BC,Oct 1-29]by local residents playing out on the streets. Although the effect is one of staging, the realization thathis subjects are photographed in situ lends an air of magic to the images. Like many artists of his generation,Deis is particularly intrigued by industrial landscapes and construction scenes that positionnew social forces and structures against eroding backdrops.Eric Deis was born on a Canadian military station on the Queen Charlotte Islands, BC. In 2004,he earned an MFA from the University of California, San Diego. He is a 2001 graduate of EmilyCarr Institute of Art + Design, Vancouver (BFA) and is a 2009 Project Grant recipient of the CanadaCouncil for the Arts. His startling photographs have been exhibited in Canada, UnitedStates and Europe.

GALLERY VIEWSThe design of the Richmond Olympic Oval is a winnerBY ANN ROSENBERGThe Richmond Olympic Oval has essentially been completed within the projected $178,000,000 budgetmonths before the facility will house some 8,000 fans of long-track speed skating (and other events) duringthe 2010 Winter Olympics and Paralympic Games. The mammoth 506,000-square-foot Olympic venueand future Centre of Excellence for Sports and Wellness, was overseen by the international architecturalfirm of Cannon Design whose descriptive slogan is “an ideas based practice.” On May 15, 2009, accordingto a Richmond City Hall Press Release, this building, which is attracting attention because of its ingeniousroof structure and green building methods, won an Award of Excellence for Innovation in Architecture(Science) from The Royal Architectural Institute ofCanada.The Oval is set in the middle of a 32-acre tractof land situated on the banks of the Fraser River’sSouth Arm, a few minutes away from VancouverInternational Airport. On adjacent property, theKwok Brothers of ASPAC Developments (the firmresponsible for the much-praised Coal Harbourcommunity in Downtown Vancouver) is mastermindingplans for the new Oval Riverfront developmentproject where high-rise residences are nowunder construction.In August, Richmond’s Public Art PlannerEric Fiss gave me a tour of the Oval and the publicartworks completed in 2008. Inside, the sports facility was a hive of activity. People looked small inthis vast space, but the sky-like colours of the mammoth geometric shapes that covered the brutalrawness of the concrete walls and the intricately composed curved sections of the wooden roof,humanized and gentled the environment.Whether looking up before entering or marvelling at the ceilingof the vast space when standing within the Oval, the vault constructedby Delta’s StructureCraft Builders commands attention.The roof is comprised of a multitude of curved "wood wave" panelsutilizing 2x4’s cut from B.C. pine-beetle-killed wood. The woodconstruction ensures the ceiling is light in weight, has goodacoustics and is relatively economical to repair. The "wood waves"were set down on 328-foot-long wood-steel composite crossbeamsthat were put in place during an earlier stage of construction.First Nations artist Susan A. Point created the 23-foot-tall castconcreteButtress Runnels on the north side of the Oval facing thewater garden in consultation with Cannon Design and Structure-Craft. These run-off channels are integral to the rooftop system thatcollects rain water for the building's toilets and many other uses.Roof support pier featuring integratedart work Buttress Runnel by Coast Salishartist Susan A. PointPHOTO: CITY OF RICHMONDInterior of Richmond Olympic Oval featuring composite wood'glulam' beams and innovative pine-beetle wood ceilingWhen water courses down over Point's low relief sculptures ofteeming fish and alert herons, her Buttress Runnels allude to salmonstreams, the eco-system of the Fraser Delta and the traditional CoastSalish way of life.Other artists have created works that are beautiful to look atand stimulating to think about. I hope to review them next summer when all aspects of the Oval arecomplete, when the water garden has had a chance to mature and the sports and wellness centre hasassumed its post-Olympic profile. Don't wait until then to view Buster Simpson's Ice Blade and JanetEchelman's Water Sky Garden.PHOTO: CITY OF RICHMOND24 PREVIEW ■ SEP/OCT 2009 ★ OPEN LATE ON FIRST THURSDAYS

www.artbeatus.comVictoria H. Chang: Nü Shu = Secret ScriptART BEATUS, VANCOUVER, BC – Aug 28-Oct 30, 2009 Nü Shu = Secret Script is a unique exhibit ofinstallation and mixed media works by Vancouver artist Victoria Chang. The artwork is based onNü shu, a secret written "female language" invented by peasant women centuries ago in JiangyongCounty in Hunan province. At the age of seven years, girls began secretly learning nü shu charactersfrom their mothers and grandmothers. Itenabled them to communicate amongst themselvesafter they were married, to express feelingsof pain, abuse, suppression and suffering thatoften lasted the rest of their lives.Writing in nü shu on the crevices of a foldingfan was one of the methods of exchanging messages.The tradition passed from generation togeneration within small counties of this remoteprovince of China. The last person proficient inthis writing system, died in 2004 at the age of 98.Chang's artwork examines both the visualbeauty and metaphorical power of nü shu as aVictoria H. Chang, Nü Shu (2007) mixed media [Art BeatusGallery, Vancouver BC, Aug 28-Oct 30]method of blurring the boundaries of Eastern aesthetics with contemporary Western art traditions.Although the language evolved during feudal times, the artist points out that, in the 21stcentury, scenarios of suffering during marriage continue to be played out in many women's livesaround the world.Victoria Chang earned a BFA in studio art at UBC in 2000 after completing a BSc in Mathematics.In 2004, she completed a Post-Baccalaureate in Studio Art at Brandeis University, Massachusetts,and in 2005 she earned a Master of Fine Arts at Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, New York. Chang'sextensive educational background includes three years training in Chinese calligraphy with MasterLiang Shih-Fung and the mastery of Chinese Brush painting in the Southern Impressioniststyle from the late Master Frank Tam, both in Vancouver, BC.

Conservator’s CornerOld and New Methods for Cleaning PaintingsBY CHERYLE HARRISONCONSERV1@TELUS.NETIts surface has darkened and the painting’s colours and image have changed. Paintings canbe obscured by layers of grime, accretions, old varnishes, and overpaint from previousrepairs.If we reflect on the history acquired from aged treatises and writings, we find that intriguingmaterials and techniques were used to clean paintings. Older methods included rubbinga painting’s surface with a stone block, mastic tears,potatoes, onions, or bread. Washing the paint surfacewith urine and ammonia, or scouring it with potash oralum was common. A coating of oil on the front andback of a painting was used to “brighten up” its appearance.In earlier times, artists or laymen would work on artjust as a blacksmith would carry out dentistry, as thecommonality of tools outweighed the era’s developmentof a specific expertise.Household remedies such as washing a paintingwith dish detergent, spraying it with window cleaner,or using commercial solvent emulsions, are becomingantics of the past. Aggressive techniques or inappropriatecleaning agents can result in the weakening of apainting’s structure, causing flaking or dissolving paintlayers. Stripping varnishes and harsh, exuberant cleaningscan leave an artwork’s appearance blanched and itsstructure leached. In other words, antiquated or unskilled attempts to reveal an image maycause it to disappear from history altogether.Contemporary advancements in our knowledge of the structural science of paintings andthe technological development of tools, materials, and methodsfor cleaning paintings extend beyond traditional methodsemploying solvents, emulsions, and scalpels.Dr. Richard Wolbers’ significant explorations with aqueousintermixtures, surfactants, chelators, enzymes, and solventgels for use in varnish removal and cleaning paintings,provide additional options for the conservator. Research continuesas advancements always create more questions.Present day cleaning of paintings combines traditionaland modern methods and dry and wet techniques directed forspecific cleaning concerns. Cleaning paintings requires morethan an assessment of the artwork, the selection of the type ofcleaning procedures and the materials involved.A balanced cleaning methodology also incorporates a conservator’sknowledge, experience, objective logic, and humilitycombined with a respect for the artwork’s integrity and an Conservator employing contemporaryunderstanding of the aesthetic and historical context of the cleaning methods on an early 19th centurypainting.

www.petleyjones.comDuncan Regehr: Cypher and HelmPETLEY JONES GALLERY, VANCOUVER, BC – Oct 14-28, 2009 Duncan Regehr's Cypher images arebrightly-coloured oil paintings of allegorical creatures that appear to be conjuring magic tricks or costumingthemselves for the theatre. They continue his exploration into aspects of transformation, atheme he began working on in 2000 with his Corvus Rex images, and continued to develop through2005 with his Chrysalid works. Each of these projects revolves around themes of gestation, birth andmetamorphosis.Regehr first exhibited his artwork in 1974 at the StratfordFestival, Ontario, and since that time has had numerous exhibitionsin Canada, the USA, and Europe. In April and May2009, he exhibited his Helm sculptures at the WinchesterGallery, Victoria and at Petley Jones, Vancouver – a series ofblocky, Visigothic helmut-like heads with Cubist arrangementsof variously stained wood sections. Slightly comical anddefinitely unusual, the heads allude to real or imaginary civilizations,histories and philosophies, some are alien-like orfuturistic, others abstract or primitive-looking. He writes,"Whether they are portrayals of leaders, warrior-poets,philosophers, questing heroes or champions of fate and fortune,the Helm sculptures evolved as purely masculine icons.They are the victors, the valiant and the vanquished".Duncan Regehr was born in Lethbridge, Alberta in 1952Duncan Regehr, Her Perfect Continuum (2009), oilon board [Petley Jones Gallery, Vancouver BC, Oct14-28]and raised in Victoria, BC. Since the 1980s, the Canadian actorand artist has played an assortment of villains, princes, gladiatorsand futuristic roles on television. Regehr may best beremembered as The New World Zorro in an early 1990s televisionseries, in which he played the Zorro character for 88 episodes between 1990 to 1993. In 2008,Regehr was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Fine Arts from the University of Victoria, BC. Mia Johnsongallery exhibiting abstract works byTanya Slingsby.

www.aggv.bc.caMary-Anne McTrowe: Crocheting the DatabaseART GALLERY OF GREATER VICTORIA, VICTORIA BC – Oct 9-Nov 22, 2009In 1951, the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria's founding Director Colin Graham imagined a collectionculled from every corner of the world. Over the next 30 years he shaped the institution and its legacycollection. The AGGV today holds the largest publiccollection of art in the province: over 15,000 worksfrom Asia, Europe and North America. In a three-partpresentation entitled Vision Into Reality, held fromAugust 2009 through to March 2010, the AGGV presentsThe Asian Collection Begins: Colin Graham andWest Coast Modernism, and The Birth of the Collection.In conjunction with the Colin Graham exhibition,Alberta artist Mary-Anne McTrowe has produced acrocheted history of the AGGV’s entire collection forLab 9.2. Assistant Professor of Fine Arts at the Universityof Lethbridge, McTrowe is interested in taxonomiesand systems of organization for the categorizationand preservation of objects. Her recent workincludes crocheted tea cozy covers for everydayMary-Anne McTrowe, detail (work in progress) The LAB 9.2:Crocheting the Database (2009) [Art Gallery of GreaterVictoria, Victoria BC, Oct 9-Nov 22]objects and, in the vein of environmental artist Christo, proposals for “cozies” for natural and man-madearchitecture. In recent collages, she created mock-ups of cozies for Lethbridge architectural landmarks.Crocheting the Database portrays the Gallery’s collection “...as it is described through the filter of thedatabase, and can be seen as metadata; information about information.”, McTrowe writes. Her conceptualpiece is comprised of approximately 17,000 stitches. Additional “portraits” focus on database categorizations,each taking the form of a crocheted chain approximately 400 feet long.A number of events and curator’s tours accompany Vision Into Reality. Mary-Anne McTrowe willpresent an artist talk on her work on October 8, 7:30pm in Lab 9.2. Mia JohnsonTO XCHANGESTO SIDNEY/N. SAANICHM.

www.westvancouvermuseum.caJoan Balzar 1960+WEST VANCOUVER MUSEUM, WEST VANCOUVER BC – Sep 9-Oct 31, 2009 West Vancouver artistJoan Balzar was a key figure in the development of abstract painting on the West Coast during the1960s. She played an active role at Intermedia, an important centre for interdisciplinary activity. Apivotal force at a time when Vancouver emerged as a city known for experimental art and music, shehas continued to manipulate abstracted fields ofpsychedelic colour and light for the past fivedecades.Balzar is best known for her hard-edge stripedpaintings and for her work with such industrialmaterials as neon tubing and plastic. She sawneon light as a model for new optical possibilitiesand as an expanded notion of the painting medium.Titles like Liquid Heat, Nova and Sonic Corereflect her ongoing search for new technologiesthat could take advantage of "the multiplicity ofhuman sensorium", both optical and auditory.Balzar had a major retrospective of her workat the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery(Belkin Satellite) in 2003. 1960+ features workARTIST TALK:1:30pmSunday, September 19Joan Balzar, Spinner I (1965), acrylic on canvas [West VancouverMuseum, West Vancouver BC, Sep 9-Oct 31created between 1960 and 1972, and includes Electra (1967-2009), a piece with neon tubing updatedfor this exhibition.

Organizers HorstFaas and Tim Page gathered thousands of photographs from this timeperiod. Their compelling selection of 160 images pays tribute to the135 photojournalists who did not survive the conflicts in SoutheastAsia. The exhibit of work by Americans, Europeans, Cambodians, andNorth and South Vietnamese and Vietcong includes picturesthat have never been seen in the Western world prior to the compilationof this collection.Faas and Page, who were both wounded in Vietnam, assembled thepoignant group of images to memorialize their war buddies andother brave photographers who lost their lives. They offer a powerfulportrait of this politically diverse war and provide powerful insightsdecades later.The images are part of the collection of the George EastmanLarry Burrows (British, 1926-1971),Near Khe Sanh, Vietnam, 1966.[Hallie Ford Museum of Art, Salem OR,Aug 15-Nov 8]House/International Museum of Photography and Film in Rochester, NY.

www.elizabethleach.comMK Guth: Terrain Change: Installation/New WorkELIZABETH LEACH GALLERY, PORTLAND OR – Sep 3-26, 2009 The work of Portland-based artist MKGuth is motivated by risk-taking, transformation and desire. She creates sculptures, videos, installationsand interactive social projects that engage the public, often via questions. For example, in her 2008Whitney Biennial installation she asked visitors, "What is worth protecting?" The answers were writtenon red ribbons and tied to Guth's installation of hanging braids by willing participants. The piece developedwith every answer.In Terrain Change, an installation of new multidisciplinaryartwork, Guth questions who webecome when our everyday environments disappear.Utilizing the familiarity of stories, myths, andfairy tales, Guth appropriates archetypal notions tocreate a current, socially relevant narrative that isboth personal and collective. Her diverse configurationof objects, video and photography includeumbrellas made of sweaters and hats, chandelierclouds, loggers and mermaids.Underlying Guth's playful approach are contemporaryallegories about the rapid pace of climateMK Guth, Umbrellas (2009), fabric [Elizabeth Leach Gallery,Portland OR, Sep 3-26]change, the "career cult" mentality and the shifting global economy. The notion of individuality is questionedthrough Guth's perspective that as a culture we define ourselves by our environment and our professions.Her new work evokes the instability and uncertainty we face when pondering these issues.Guth's artwork and projects have appeared internationally at galleries, museums and festivals includingThe Melbourne International Arts Festival, Australia; Nottdance Festival, England; and A Gentil CariocaGallery, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The Seattle artistprints all of her own papers using pressed plants from her garden.The dynamic shifting world of Isaksen's canvases is evidentin the resolution and transformation of complicated mulit-layeredcompositions, which are created with layers of thin patternedpapers collaged on canvas.By using the plants she grows, Isaksen's artwork becomes anextension of her garden. As a reflection of both environment andmaterials, her stylized version of nature is told through complexarrangements of organic imagery. The creative push and pullinherent in this art-making process further resembles the growthand cyclic changes in nature.The canvases are filled with a series of interconnected shapesand repetitious linear designs hanging in a soft quiet balance offormal elements and sophisticated colour choices. Poetic formssit lightly on subtle but dense backdrops evoking a slow sensationof movement. Translucent papers reveal the rhythm of deep underlayers, as the delicate lines ofIsaksen's drawing defines a foreground space.Isaksen's work has been exhibited internationally and is part of public and private collections inNorway, Japan and the United States.
