V I G N E T T E S • September/October 2011AlbertarOBIN laureNceIRAN DO ESPIRITO SANTO: WALL DRAWINGS Illingworth KerrGallery, Alberta College of Art + Design, Calgary, through Oct 2Brazil-based Iran Do Espírito Santo was artist-in-residence at theIKG through the month of June, conducting workshops in the creationof large-scale, collaborative drawing installations. His residencyhas culminated in a retrospective of his distinctive wall drawings,subtly yet gorgeously modulated through the grey scale.Director/curator Wayne Baerwaldt describes these works as "asleek blend" of influences, including Minimalism and GeometricAbstraction; at the same time, they play with tone, texture, light,and the “skewing” of expectations.DANIEL BARKLEY Weiss Gallery, Calgary, Sep 8-Oct 8 Based inMontreal, Barkley creates figurative and portrait paintings thatare both realistic and otherworldly. Inflecting skin tones withspectral blues and depicting his nude male models in sometimesdreamy, sometimes grotesque poses and facial expressions, oftensplashed with pigment, he penetrates the human psyche in waysthat are incisive and unsettling.UP NORTH Art Gallery of Alberta, Edmonton, Sep 10-Jan 8 Exploringideas of wilderness, the four artists in this show, Jacob DahlJürgensen and Simon Dybbroe Møller from Denmark, RagnarKjartansson from Iceland, and Kevin Schmidt from Canada,allude to – and in some ways deconstruct – 19th-century romanticattitudes towards remote and seemingly uninhabited landscapes.Among the works on view in the gallery is a film andphotographic documentation of performances and interventionsundertaken in widely disparate locales, from an unnamed desertisland to Tuktoyaktuk.ALANA TYSON: INSCAPE CABINET ( +15 WINDOW RECEPTION) + 15Window, EPCOR Centre, organized by The New Gallery, Calgary,through Sep 30 Known for her large-scale manipulated fabricpieces, Tyson has created a commanding installation out of some35 metres of satin. Referencing both sculpture and painting, shecreates abstract images and complex surfaces by repeating simplemotions–pushing and pulling, crumpling and smoothing–as sheworks with hand-sewn lining fabric. Her forms and materialsevoke everything from exuberant aerial landscapes to sombrecoffin linings.CHRIS MILLAR TrépanierBaer, Calgary, Sep 8-Oct 8 Taking the formof paintings, sculptures and audio recordings (including a newpiece titled Gutterballs), Millar’s antic narratives are a curiouscollage of pop culture influences and absurd situations. Thecentral work in this new exhibition is a sculpture titled 370H55V,evocative of a beyond-nutty sailing vessel or space ship. “Thepiece deals with the tension between building something anddestroying it", Millar says. “The precariousness of the sculpturebegs for a crash landing in the desert.”Iran Do Espírito SantoDaniel BarkleyKevin SchmidtAlana TysonChris Millarwww.preview-art.com PREVIEW 11

COURTESY CATRIONA JEFFRIES, VANCOUVERMichael Campbell: Field Recordings of Icebergs MeltingCULTURAL CENTRE GALLERY, MEDICINE HAT AB – Sep 3-Oct 23, 2011 Using debris from B.C.beaches, Michael Campbell bundles and fashions salvagedmaterials – bits of driftwood, eroded iron, torn nets, rustynails and spark plugs, two by fours, pieces of boat enginesand fragments of wharves and crates – into littlestructures. For Field Recordings, he has grouped them intoa Jules Verne-like flotilla of tiny vehicles and vessels.Despite such names as the The Janice May, The AlfredDrew and The Scott Alexander, the objects read like a postapocalypticfairytale. An assembly of metal pipesconfiguring the installation saves the whimsical piecesfrom precocity by introducing an interesting science labsensibility.Field Recordings of Icebergs Melting was previously shownin 2008 at DeLeon White Gallery, Toronto, and in 2009 atAgnes Etherington Art Centre in Kingston, Ontario asMichael Campbell, Field Recordings of Icebergs Melting(The Janice May) (2007), installation view [CulturalCentre Gallery, Medicine Hat AB, Sep 3-Oct 23]well as the Tom Thomson Art Gallery, Owen Sound. Theexhibit title does not relate to the work other than that thematerials were found “in the field” and have been suitablyeroded by saltwater.Michael Campbell lives and works in Lethbridge,where he teaches in the Faculty of Art at the University ofLethbridge. He also has a studio on Hornby Island with aview of passing tugboats, barges and oyster-hauling boats.Campbell received a BFA from the University of Toronto(1990) and an MFA from Concordia University in Montreal (1993). His work has been shown innumerous public galleries across Canada and at Zurich International 2003.

PREVIEW'S 25TH ANNIVERSARY 1986-2011Preview's 25-year History as an art-speak-free guideThe back-story to Preview: The Gallery Guide is Vanguard magazine, a large-format 64-pagedglossy, produced from 1972-84 by the Vancouver Art Gallery and subsequently, until it foldedin 1989, by the Vancouver Society for Critical ArtsPublications.Janice Whitehead, who is now long-established as thepublisher/owner of Preview: The Gallery Guide, was themanaging editor for 13 years. Vanguard featured challengingessays in English or French about art, artists, arttheory and events. It also included paid black and whiteor colour advertisements for galleries. Because colourseparations (essential to the printing process) wereexpensive, they were used sparingly – but at least bothsides of the front and back covers were chromatic. It wascertain that even with the low quality images togetherwith the names of venues, exhibiting artists and articles,essential information about Canadian culture was beingcommunicated during this time frame. Vanguard’s 100-plus issues are therefore safeguarded in many libraries,including the Vancouver Art Gallery’s, just as are allissues of Preview.In 1986, Vanguard magazine published somethingspecial in honour of Vancouver’s centennial and Expo '86. Art86 was a $2 pocket-sizedguide that encouraged visitors to see visual art attractions in several foreign pavilions andthe public art made for Expo '86 by B.C. artists like Richard Prince, John Clair Watts andBeau Dick. The 30-page issue also contained informationregarding galleries, museums and studios in thecity and province that might be of interest to Expoattendees together with listings for walking tours, conferencesand film festivals that were happening in Vancouverand Victoria throughout the summer of 1986.The tone of this "souvenier" was intelligent, taking careto inform and engage the reader. Even though mostillustrations were not much bigger than postage stamps,they demonstrated Vancouver’s sophistication in thearts. The approximately 5.5 ¥ 8-inch format establishedwith Art86 remained constant in the subsequent '87 and'89 pocket guides that were later developed by Vanguard.Many aspects of their consistent design features (forexample the three vertical division sections on each pageof listings) were facilitated by the 1985 introduction ofSuperpage by Bestinfo, one of the first desktop publishingprograms that allowed most of the writing and magazinelayout to be done in-house. When Vanguard ceased operations abruptly in the summerof 1989, Whitehead decided to expand on the services-concept offered in Art86, Art87 andArt89 in her own independent publication, Preview of The Visual Arts, that premiered in thefall of 1989. The small guides had proven their usefulness and Whitehead knew how to14 PREVIEW ■ SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2011

develop the format and make the enterprise financially viable. Over the 25-year production history, the scope of the magazine has continued to growand incorporate new technologies.The name Preview was emblazoned in bold white letters on the cover ofthe inaugural issue. The city of Portland was added to Vancouver, Victoriaand Seattle, which were already set out in Art89. At 31 pages it was thickerthan it had previously been and colourillustrations enlivened almost everypage. The light blue, half-page previews, a feature introducedin Art89, continued but were still unsigned.A Saturday Review article in the January 5, 1991 editionof the Vancouver Sun describes Preview as the Vancouverbasedcounterpart to Slate, the Toronto gallery guide. Thearticle further states that Preview is the only art publicationto serve cities north and south of the border and east andwest of the Rockies and it offers an excellent summary ofwhat is important to see at 100 local galleries.Four years later, Chris Tyrell via CARFAC nominatedPreview for a Vancouver Board of Trade Business and theArts Award. The submission praises Preview’s 1995 wide circulationof 25,000 copies to fifty major cities and communities,the fact that it advertises exhibitions displayed in over300 venues, and that it selectively covers the specializedservices of art-related businesses, all without receiving directfinancial support from any level of government or otherorganization. The writing style was described as “easily readable, objective and informationbased,rather than opinion-based, since it is intended to entice viewers to attend exhibitions”.Launched in 1996, Preview's extensive and comprehensive web presence (where current andback-issues can be downloaded) receives over 70,000 unique visitors a month. Although there arelocal, regional and international annual subscribers, some30,000 copies of five issues per year are now widely distributedthroughout the Pacific Northwest at no purchase cost tothe public. The relevant content, supported with the manyfinely reproduced true-colour images, continues to receivepositive responses of support and appreciation from readers,clients and art-world participants alike.In its 25th year, Preview: The Gallery Guide covers anever-widening territory and, despite troubles in the globaleconomy, ever-more cultural outlets and events. Forexample, the 104-page 2011 summer issue contains 350gallery listings, 27 notices for art services and materials,and 20 half-page Previews authored by Mia Johnson andAllyn Cantor. As well, there are one-page articles on artconservation, feature articles by Jim Finlay and AnnRosenberg, information on art catalogues, gallery openingsand related events, and five pages of Vignettes ormini-reviews by Robin Laurence and Allyn Cantor.Thanks to the vision and expertise Whitehead bringsto her successful business model, the hard work of a dedicated staff, and the wonders of digitalcameras and scans, Preview: The Gallery Guide moves forward, and there is not an unclear sentenceor baffling phrase of art-speak anywhere to block one's access to art.Ann Rosenbergwww.preview-art.com PREVIEW 15

www.barongallery.caArt = LibérationBARON GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Sep 28, 2011-Spring 2012 Art = Libération features paintings byrecently deceased Quebec artist Pierre Gauvreau (1922-2011) and his third wife Janine Carreau, apainter, photographer and Gauvreau’s agent in recent years. The exhibit was curated by Ray Ellenwood,a historian and writer whose books on the Automatists in Quebec include Egregore: A Historyof the Montréal AutomatistMovement.Pierre Gauvreau workedin an Automatist style firstpopularized by Surrealists asan inspirational game. Theidea was to produce a state ofcreativity not limited by consciousness.During the 1940sin Quebec, a circle of youngartists from various disciplinesgravitated around theAutomatist painter, Paul-Émile Borduas. In 1948 theypublished Refus global, a documentwidely recognized as acrucial expression of Quebecmodernism.Gauvreau was foremost aPierre Gauvreau and Janine Carreau, la jeunesse est en nous et nous sommes la jeunesse(Youth is in us and we are youth) (2002), mixed media on canvas [Baron Gallery,Vancouver BC, Sep 28-Spring 2012]painter whose gestural brushwork was always prominent, even in colour-field paintings or hard-edgedabstracts with their large areas of bright colour and geometric shapes. He exhibited extensively,including solo exhibitions at the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal (1979) and Musée duQuébec (1981). After major bypass surgery in 1995, Gauvreau turned to mixed media and the extensiveuse of acrylic sprayed over various stencils including lace doilies. Sprayed and painted in layers,many of these paintings combine loose contour lines surrounding patterned areas. The 47 brightlycoloured pieces in the exhibit have been described as “exuberant” and a “celebration of life and offreedom from the strict cleric culture of mid-century Quebec”.

generation whYwww.albertacraft.ab.caALBERTA CRAFT COUNCIL GALLERY, EDMONTON AB – Jul 16-Sep 24, 2011 Generation whY:exploring the voices of craftmakers 35 & younger offers a curated selection of arts and crafts by people inan age group identified by marketers as Generation Y. The exhibit proposes “a snapshot of what thisgeneration has to share”, withartwork on a variety of topics fromdigital media to the naturalenvironment to heritage and socialissues.Arguably it is difficult to differentiateartwork by Generation Y fromartwork done by young people ingeneral, since young artists – particularlythose who move through artschools – are prone to experimentationwith media, and, for economicShanell Papp, Lab (2006-2008), crochet and sewn yarn, lifesized [Alberta CraftCouncil Gallery, Edmonton AB, Jul 16-Sep 24]reasons, prone to working with everydayand recycled materials. The word“intriguing”, however, could easily apply to the work of many Gen Y artists since the advent of Etsy,Craftster, iCraft.ca, MadeitMyself.com and similar online showcases, where inventive craft ideasabound.The pieces included in generation whY use craft materials and objects like embroidery on recycledcanvas, blown glass with etched surface designs, quilting, bone china, a crocheted skeleton, hi-techbaubles fashioned with sheet metal – a plethora of traditional, contemporary and innovative supplies,many of them recycled or repurposed, and many very tactile. With birth dates from 1976–2000, theselected artists have a range of experience and formal training. Without the lens of history it is difficultto say what commonalities they share, but the title is certainly provocative.

GALLERY VIEWSHope Springs EternalAlexander Pope’s 1734 An Essay on Man,contains the oft-cited adage that no matterwhat the adversity, “Hope Springs Eternalin the human breast”. In the last five yearsnatural disasters have devastated many partsof the world and monetary crises have shakenthe foundations of financial institutionsincluding those in the United States. Severalcountries have recently declared bankruptcy,a fate the U.S. has so far narrowlyescaped. These days, capitalism’s favouritepanacea of “borrowing from Peter to payPaul” will become more difficult and moreexpensive to achieve. Clearly, only an optimistwould dare to initiate any business,especially a gallery, in the present economiccircumstances.In the summer issue of Preview, IBY ANN ROSENBERGannrosenberg@shaw.caSatellite Gallery at Club Five-Sixty, Vancouver, BCThomas Hobbs, Marilyn (2008), backlit digital image [Club Five Sixty,Vancouver BC]described the Waldorf Hotel on East Hastings (which opened in October 2010) is an excellentexample of a new approach to creating a stimulating (and financially viable) venue where“art, music, and food convened under one roof”. People could eat, drink and be merry whilegaining an amazing range of aesthetic experience and knowledge. At the Waldorf, “high” and“low” culture carom like balls on a pool table gaining energy and animation from each other.The infamous black velvet paintings of Edgar Leeteg, hung on the walls of the Tiki Bar,flaunt naked breasts in plain view of an open-minded audience.A March 2010 issue of Business in Vancouverfeatured an article on former Gracelandowner Vince Alvaro who had just openedClub Five Sixty on Seymour, an operationwith a philosophy similar to that of the WaldorfHotel. He hoped his club would cater to“urbanites seeking a little nightlife who alsoappreciate art, fashion and film”.His business concept was blessed byCharles Gauthier, Executive Director of theDowntown Vancouver Business ImprovementAssociation, who saw the need for aclub like the one the Alvaro team proposedfor that particular urban core location—anightspot that would bring sophistication and class to an area that was often rowdy, especiallyafter the bars closed. The four-storey edifice of Five Sixty contains 29,000-square-feet carvedinto three dance floors, five bars, two lounges and two galleries on the mezzanine that areleased from the club. The Blanket Gallery is a commercial space and neighbour of the Satellite,which is connected with non-profit institutions like the Morris and Helen Belkin Gallery,the Museum of Anthropology, and Presentation House Gallery, and run in accordance withthe mandate of the Michael O’Brian Family Foundation.A Satellite gala event on September 17 will celebrate a major show of new works by26 PREVIEW ■ SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2011

Lúz Gallery, Victoria BCGordon Payne, a senior artist from HornbyIsland. Behind the main bar of Club Five Sixtya group of back-lit photographs by well-knownflorist Thomas Hobbs will be installed. “Willthey be images of flowers?” I asked of him,expecting a “yes”. “No”, replied Thomas,“They are digitally distorted images of thedeeply troubled people, like the one I call Marilyn,who bare their souls on talk shows”. As atthe Waldorf, the only thing that can be expectedhere is the unexpected.Alternatively, to start and run a successfulstand-alone gallery, one has to have a passion, an ever-developing expertise and the appropriatezeal. Craig Sibley of the Trench Gallery on Vancouver’s Alexander Street conforms to that idealby providing exhibition and consignment space especially for those who began their careers inthe 1960s. The summer exhibition Monomania, for example, featured historically significantpieces like Gary Lee-Nova’s Sinking Ship.His exhibitions not only demonstrate his energy in making contacts with appropriateartists and assembling lists of potential buyers, but are bearing fruit. According to Sibley, thegallery name is a metaphor for the “good fight” because “sometimes you have to fight to keepa gallery going”.Finally, the Lúz Gallery for Photographic Arts in Victoria’s Oak Bay has been operatingfrom its present Art Deco storefront and backroom studios since 2008. Director/Curator Diana Millar offers exceptionally high quality shows in the rather small-sized gallerythat frequently include very few pieces as in the Still Pendulum show by Dan MacDougall.Her partner in business and life, Creative Director Quinton Gordon, is responsible for mostother tasks including the organizing of specialized workshops led by known practitioners inthe field of photography which are now drawing students from many parts of the world.Lúz, the Spanish word for“light”, summarizes theessence of one aspect of thephotographic aesthetic; theopposite of which is “oscura”,or dark. The fact that itsname is not in Englishreflects the internationalexperience of the couple andtheir aim to create a centrethat will be known everywhere.Perfect presentation isthe hallmark of all aspects ofthis enterprise including itson-line promotions.Beauty that expresses allGary Lee-Nova, Sinking Ship at Midnight (2007), digital print on rag paper [Trench ContemporaryArt, Vancouver BC]things significant (including even unpretty truths) is what gives the optimistic proprietorsabove their raison d’etre. As Craig Sibley said, “If you have an artwork you love, you will nevertoss it into the landfill”. ■www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 27

V I G N E T T E S • September/October 2011British ColumbiarOBIN laureNceREBECCA CHAPERON: LIKE A GREAT BLACK FIRE grunt gallery, Vancouver,Sep 8-Oct 15 Typically, Rebecca Chaperon’s paintingscombine narrative and landscape impulses with an air somewherebetween sinister surrealism and fairy tale enchantment. In theseworks, stories are told through a recurring female character whoappears to be autobiographical. Chaperon’s new suite of imagisticallyand thematically linked paintings interrupt pastoral andromantic landscape imagery and figuration with geometric elementsand urban grids. It’s intentionally unclear whether her narrativeplays out over time across all the paintings, or each paintingis a simultaneous part of a mysterious whole.Rebecca ChaperonCHANGE: WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU? Touchstones Nelson, Nelson, Sep3-Nov 30 Designed to stimulate community involvement and creativethinking about countering climate change, this is a “thinkglobally, act locally” kind of exhibition.

On close examination, however, his representationalstyle, especially as seen in his watercolours, moreclosely resembles Pointillism, with its many small dots and flecksof colour and its exploration of light. On view in this survey exhibitionare misty landscapes, snowy shorelines, sunny interiors,still life studies and figures.BRENDAN FERNANDES: DISSCONTINENT Surrey Art Gallery, Surrey,Sep 17-Dec 11 One of a trio of thematically linked exhibitions,Disscontinent explores the relationship between language, cultureand identity. Kenyan-born Canadian artist Brendan Fernandes isinterested in the ways language may be altered through the processof migration, and in the accompanying experiences of “loss andgain, forgetfulness and remembrance”. The exhibition is anchoredby two large-scale media installations, which together combine animatedtotem heads, video-mask sculptures, Dadaist poetry, andaudio recordings of culturally inflected literary readings.Mary FoxTom ForrestallBrendan Fernandes32 PREVIEW ■ SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2011 ★ OPEN LATE ON FIRST THURSDAYS

Andrea Taylor, a painter, printmaker and publisher ofletterpress books, reinterprets Muybridge’s photos in a ghostly waythat reflects on the ephemerality of existence. Also on view is a filmwhich animates Taylor’s drawings, returning the still images to therealm of movement.STEPHEN HUTCHINGS: SONGS OF SHADOW & LIGHT JenniferKostuik Gallery, Vancouver, Sep 22-Oct 24 Stephen Hutchings’snew mixed-media paintings are based on sketches made duringa recent trip to Europe. With landscape images that seem tomelt into luminescence or disappear into shadow, he exploresthe nature of perception and its play with memory and emotion.Hutchings's work combines charcoal drawing, digital photographyand painting in a way that references both the historic andthe contemporary.NEON VANCOUVER/UGLY VANCOUVER Museum of Vancouver,Vancouver, Oct 13-Aug 12 Don’t be deceived by the title of thisexhibition: the “ugly” refers to the now-questionable criticism ofVancouver’s neon signs in the 1960s and 70s, and the subsequentmove by city officials to banish them from our streets in a “visualpurity crusade”. Far from being ugly, this show will dazzle viewerswith its display of lively and inventive neon signs from Vancouver’spostwar years, and will also provoke discussion abouthow we imagine our urban environment should look. Also onview are street photographs by Walter Griba.ひろしま HIROSHIMA: PHOTOGRAPHS BY MIYAKO ISHIUCHIMuseum of Anthropology, Vancouver, Oct 14-Feb 12 This exhibitionof 52 photographs focuses on the clothing and personaleffects, such as a pair of dusty work boots, of victims of theatomic bombing of Hiroshima in August 1945. Internationallyacclaimed for a career spanning three decades, Miyako Ishiuchichose the objects she photographed from more than 19,000 suchpersonal effects housed in the Hiroshima Peace MemorialMuseum, all of them left behind by those who perished in thebombing. Viewers may muse on war, trauma and remembrance,and the human capacity for vast destruction.IRA HOFFECKER Dales Gallery, Victoria, Oct 7-Nov 8 After 15 yearsof working in the marketing end of the film industry, Hoffeckerbegan to focus on her “lifetime interest” – painting. With theirrichly hued organic and partitioned forms, sometimes interspersedwith text, her works reveal her love of Abstract Expressionism. “Iwant to…create something that has not existed before and thatcomes from myself”, she says.Andrea TaylorStephen HutchingsNeon signMiyako IshiuchiIra Hoffeckerwww.preview-art.com PREVIEW 33

MONTE SAN GIUSTO (ITALY), BIBLIOTECA COMUNALE, FONDO ALESSANDRO MAGGIORIwww.willamette.edu/arts/hfma/index.htmlTimeless Renaissance: Italian Drawings fromthe Alessandro Maggiori CollectionHALLIE FORD MUSEUM OF ART, SALEM OR – Aug 13-Nov 6, 2011 A rare collection of drawings wasrecently discovered in the town of Monte San Giusto,Italy. Initially collected by Count AlessandroMaggiori (1764-1834) during the Napoleonic occupationof the Italian peninsula, the drawings are stylisticallyconsistent with the Classicist tradition. It isbelieved that Count Maggiori gathered these worksduring the late 18th and early 19th centuries as anattempt to preserve cultural identity during a volatiletime in Italian history when autocratic rulers werespreading the ideals of post-revolutionary France.Influenced by Raphael’s Renaissance ideals of beauty,the works convey the aesthetics of an earlier time.The exceptional group of 75 drawings has neverbeen published or exhibited outside of Italy.Willamette University professor Ricardo De MambroSantos and his students are currently identifyingthe historical context of this important collectionFollower of Carlo Maratti (born Camerano, 1625-1713), Kneelingfemale figure seen from the rear and studies of feet, head anddrapery, red and black chalk with touches of white chalk on lightblue paper [Hallie Ford Museum of Art, Portland OR, Aug 13-Nov 6]and the schools of study under which many of thesedrawings were created. The education of Italianartists included rendering the human form as a foundationfor expression. Santos’s research has revealedthe names of almost 50 artists, including GiorgioVasari (1511-1574), Andrea Sacchi (1599-1661) andElisabetta Sirani (1638-1665). In addition to their historical significance, the timeless 16th to 19thcentury drawings show a draftsmanship well balanced between sensitivity and skill.

www.seymourartgallery.comDanny Singer: Drive-bySEYMOUR ART GALLERY, NORTH VANCOUVER BC – Oct 18-Nov 27, 2011 Over the past decade, NorthVancouver photographer Danny Singer has created exquisite horizontal photographs featuring shortsections of roadside towns in the U.S. and Canada. Aligned in rows are delicate, intimate “portraits” offarm buildings, houses, small hotels, outbuildings, stores, gas stations and parked cars. The formalcompositions combined with glimpses of prairie life are reminiscent of views framed by car windows,with a surreal, almost clinical quality induced by Singer’s flattened perspectives. See the images at theNational Film Board: http://mainstreet.nfb.caFor Drive-by, Singer combined numerous shots of Vancouver taken by a camera mounted to his vehiclepassenger window. Unlike Google’s drive-by shots, which maintain a respectful distance and filter outpassing people, Singer’s newestbreak-out project is rich withmovement and narrative. Thecolourful, chaotic content frequentlylooms into the viewer’sspace and is full of motion blur. Byediting and stitching, Singer hascreated a continuously blendedimage 70 feet long and 3 feet high.The enormous print reads like anaction film.Singer studied acting and filmat Simon Fraser University thenworked in the film department atCBC. In the 1970s he turned toDanny Singer, detail of Drive-by, 70-foot-long installation (2011), c-print [SeymourArt Gallery, North Vancouver BC, Oct 18-Nov 27]photography and has since been the recipient of numerous Canada Council production grants. Hispopular work has been exhibited across Canada and collected by the Canada Council Art Bank,National Gallery of Canada, Glenbow Museum, Vancouver Art Gallery and Mendel Art Gallery. Itwas included in the 2010 Alberta Biennial. Two of his photographs will be in the Vancouver ArtGallery's upcoming exhibition of works from the Audain Collection.

Hundreds of 8-inch letters cutRenay Egami, Piecework (2011), cloth, fabric, thread [KelownaInternational Airport, Kelowna BC, May 16-Nov 14]from cloth form a single long red-and-white curtain. Repeatedly spelling “I AM HERE”, the lettersspeak to the invisible labour of marginalized women in a highly globalized garment industry, and inparticular to the experiences of Egami’s mother, a non-English speaking immigrant from Japan whomade her living sewing during the 1950s. Through Piecework, Egami seeks to “reclaim space, voiceand visibility”. Mia JohnsonSalMON arMSAGA Public Art Gallery70 Hudson Ave NE ✆250-832-1170www.sagapublicartgallery.catues-sat 11am-4pm.

Practical Art History orConfessions of a Fine Art AppraiserChapter 28. The Case of the Long-Tailed MonkeyThe former Vancouver artist I am researching on behalf of a client has been making pottery since the late1960s and apparently does not sign his work. From 1970-1975 his studio was at the Angus Service Garageand in 1986 it was located on Alma Street. He currently resides in Montreal, Quebec; is registered with theArchitectural Institute of British Columbia; and practices architecture in order to sustain his other artisticendeavours. His work combines elements relating to ancient architecture, mythology, spirituality and burialtotems and appears to be influenced by South American cultures of Incan, Nazcan or Mayan origin.The medium echoes the subject matter and is the message – the spirit of Marshal McLuhan may be lurking.The fired clay resonates with attributes associated with ancient building construction and productionof food vessels, and as cultural objects specific to a particular civilization.The image of the lidded vessel shows that the work is both utilitarian and aesthetically pleasing. Itincorporates suggestions of architectural elements which collectively speak to the history of the materialand all its varied and diverse uses in ancient cultures: the vessel as architecture and as container ofhuman civilization.The scale deliberately suggests an unresolved tension between architectural monument and personalobject; communal or public and private space; and the building and household container. Perhaps there is areference to a cosmic or astrological connection linking all that is contained within the universe with thepracticality of living and the precious mediocrity of life itself. Is the universecontained within the vessel? His work could be read as a small architecturalmodel produced prior to construction, or as a model produced afterconstruction as a memory or record, or perhaps neither.The universality of the laws of physics which permeates andconnects all matter within the universe is a concept which bringsto mind the opening lines of William Blake’s Auguries of Innocence:To see a World in a Grain of SandAnd a Heaven in a Wild Flower,Hold Infinity in the palm of your handAnd Eternity in an hour.I am also reminded of Blake’s watercolour etching, The Ancient ofDays, which depicts God using an instrument of architecture (a set ofdividers) to delineate the universe from Heaven: the Creator asomnipotent architect of the universe.The incongruity of maquette or modello as artwork to completedFired clay lidded vessel, 8 inches tallmonument suggests an unknown spatial consequence which is, perhapsas Jean Baudrillard suggests, the hyper-real. The simulacra ormodello is not a copy of the “real”, but a “truth” in its own right. The long-tailed monkey motif,framed within a square and prominently displayed, seems not to be a maker’s mark but a deliberate referenceto the Nazca Lines as it is identical to an image of that monkey found in Peru’s Nazca Desert.These enigmatic geoglyphs of zoomorphic designs and phytomorphic shapes are generally believedby most scholars to have some religious significance.So why do we contemplate the ancient architecture of the universe, spirituality and religion withinthe context of an ordinary vessel of ordinary material and size? Is the medium the message and is themediocrity of life a divine miracle which we take for granted? Is the question relevant; is “whythe right question to ask; or does it matter?”Next issue: The Case of Mr. DoveBY JIM FINLAYFINLAY FINE ARTWEALTH MANAGEMENTjim_finlay@telus.net56 PREVIEW ■ SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2011

www.nanaimoartgallery.comGu Xiong: WaterscapesNANAIMO ART GALLERY, NANAIMO BC – Sep 9, 2011-Jan 7, 2012 Gu Xiong is a Vancouver-basedmixed media and installation artist originally from Chongqing, Sichuan, China. During the CulturalRevolution of the 1970s, Gu Xiong was sent to the remote countryside for “re-education”. In1989, he fled China as a result of involvement in Beijing's China/Avant Garde show and theTiananmen Square demonstration.Now an Associate Professor in FineArt at UBC, Gu Xiong has shownextensively and internationally and hasreceived numerous awards in Canadaand the U.S. The Diane Farris Galleryhas promoted Gu Xiong's work inCanada since 1991.As a former refugee, Gu Xiongaddresses questions of identity and has aspecial interest in the kinds of mixedcultureparadoxes generated by globalization.His Nanaimo Art Gallery installation,Waterscapes: Migration along theVancouver Island, Fraser and YangziRivers, combines a metaphorical fleet of hundreds of small paper boats hung from the museum ceiling.Previously shown as Waterscapes at the Richmond Art Gallery (2010), the Nanaimo versionincludes new electronic images of historic Chinese cemeteries on Vancouver Island. The Nanaimoexhibit also shares conceptual and physical similarities with Gu Xiong’s previous 1998 exhibitions: Youand I at Artspeak Gallery in Vancouver and The River at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria. Theseexhibits serve as metaphors for the journey of immigrants to Canada from China and the paradoxes ofcultural colonization.Also on view and closing on November 5 is an exhibition of 14 works from the gallery's permanentcollection entitled the Huxian Collection. The paintings from the Huxian region of China werepart of a travelling exhibition, Visions of Rural China, organized by the gallery in 1984.

Conservator’s CornerBY REBECCA PAVITTFINE ART CONSERVATION, WWW.FINEARTCONSERVE.COMOrganizing and Preserving Collections – Part 4: Digital-Based MaterialDigital preservation is in its infancy but, long story short, don’t count on sharing your digital Kodakmoments with your great grandchildren. Unlike physical objects that can be held, touched and cherished,digital objects need machines to create, store, retrieve and view them. If the machines go, so goes theinformation. I had a first-hand reminder of just how ephemeral most of my post-2000 records were. Mynew Stargate hard drive died due to “inherent vice” and I was left with: nothing.To the uninitiated, this might seem like a blessing from heaven. All of those nagging, undone, file management/computerhousekeeping issues one has been meaning to deal with are, well, dealt with. Tabula rasaNirvana! Microsoft recently did an extensive survey, asking people how important it was for them to keeptheir digital information. The result was an unexpected and resounding – Not at All! The overwhelmingmajority of participants said they would welcome losing the contents of their hard drive – they compared itto a cleansing house fire that would free them from their burdensome files.Attractive as that scenario may sound, I can personally vouch for the fact that the brutal reality is otherwise.Accounts receivable, baby’s first smile, e-mails from dearly departed, important income tax information,and Gramma’s audio family history – all gone in the poof of a microchip.Fortunately, most of my information was retrievable (at a cost) and I now have a back-up hard drive.Every evening a clever little software program copies my new files to the back-up drive. If I had reallylearnt my lesson, I would have had a second software program copy my files to an off-site location (cloudstorage). Ever one for locking the barn door afterthe horse has escaped, I am sure I will start doingthis after the big one hits.But back-up is just part of the story. Every softwareupgrade, every new operating system, everyhardware innovation, will render your files just thatmore obsolete. Unless you view and refresh all ofyour files in the new systems, the visual look or audiosound may change, and information packets are atrisk of loss. Even if you migrate and transfer religiously(and who does?) there is nothing to preventproprietary software systems from closing shop, orfrom simply ceasing to support older file versions. After all, if we don’t care about saving our information, (andresearch shows we don’t) why should a for-profit company spend good money helping us do so?Well-heeled corporations and publicly funded institutions with IT departments and/or digital conservatorsare in a slightly better position than the private file manager. As “early” as 1996 in the U.S., theCommission on Preservation and Access and the Research Libraries Group created a Task Force on DigitalArchiving, which led to the publication of two reports: Building a National Strategy for DigitalPreservation issues in Digital Media Archiving (2002) and Preserving our Digital Heritage: The NationalDigital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program (2010).Recommendations coming out of these studies include:• sustainable, open source, digital file formats with universal/standardized descriptive metadata (toallow searchability and retrieval)• identifying and organizing the items that are important to preserve (and winnowing or allowing the“natural death” of the remainder)• multiple backups of important items stored in multiple locations• regular migration/transfer to new formats and mediaFor more information on digital preservation visit www.digitalpreservation.gov/ or contact one ofCanada’s Pioneer Digital Conservators, Sue Bigelow at the City of Vancouver Archives.NEXT ISSUE: To Line or Not to Line: structural remedies for canvas paintings by new contributor Nadine Power, a fine art conservatorspecializing in Painting Conservation68 PREVIEW ■ SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2011

In1981 she won the third Québec Biennale of painting for her critically acclaimed Lost Riverseries of new image paintings. Sincethe 1980s she has been keenly interestedin geographic and conceptualmaps, and the ways in which thedevelopment of Western Canada hasbeen charted and recorded. Abstract,semiotic and narrative, her massivepaintings – conceptual terrains themselves– explore the Canadian landscapeas physical and emotional territorieswith layers of geography, voice,history and politics.Landon MacKenzie, Circle of Willis (2006), synthetic polymer on linen[Richmond Art Gallery, Richmond BC, Sep 10-Oct 30]Over the past decade, Mackenzie’sintersecting fields of cities, maps,waterways and transportation systemshave evolved into large-format paintingsdense with underlying grid lines, neural networks, signals and wiring, scaffolding, laddersand filmstrips. Like that of writer William Gibson, her work speaks to the dynamic, fluid andoverlapping layers of human activity in any given place, and explores research on the brain as anew “frontier” with its attendant MRI and CAT mapping.Mackenzie began teaching at Emily Carr University in 1986 and is now a full professor. Herwork has been collected by the National Gallery of Canada, the Vancouver Art Gallery, the ArtGallery of Ontario, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and the Musée d’art contemporain deMontréal among many others. She was the recipient of the inaugural Ian Wallace Award forExcellence in Teaching (2009), Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Medal (2003) and numerous CanadaCouncil Grants. Mackenzie has been a visiting artist at 50 universities and has done research sabbaticalsin Paris, Berlin and London.

Armed with an X-acto knife and sheetsof black paper, McClure carves detailed imagery by removing sectionsof paper so that narrative illustrations unfold in web-like configurations.Her best-known work has been self-published on calendars,album covers and other printed material.SEAN CAIN: NEW PAINTINGS Laura Russo Gallery, Portland, Sep 1–Oct1 Scenes of lone figures in dramatic settings are the subject of SeanCain's paintings. The personal, moody tone of the enigmatic figuresseems to symbolize the internal landscape. Shapes draped withlengths of fabric convey psychological states that provoke a sense ofisolation with an undercurrent that speaks of solitude or a dialoguewith the self. Some of his figures appear to have been caught in theact of moving across the composition while others rest in melancholicpositions as if taking refuge under protective cloth.DANA POPA: NOT NATASHA Blue Sky Gallery, Portland, Sep 1-Oct 2Romanian-born Dana Popa traces the lives of damaged of youngwoman and girls from the Republic of Moldova who were caught inthe cruel net of human trafficking for prostitution within Europe.The title for this exhibit refers to the use of the name "Natasha"which is given to prostitutes who have a certain Eastern Europeanlook. Popa captured images of these tragic women, after they hadreturned to Moldova, in a series of compelling colour photographsthat are poetically haunting and filled with foreboding.MALIA JENSEN: SALTY Elizabeth Leach Gallery, Portland, Sep 1-Oct 1Malia Jensen is known for the metaphorical content of her sculpturesand representations of animals. For her new video project sheexploits the instincts of cattle by placing enticing objects in theirpasture in order to record the resulting behaviour. For example,depositing a carved salt lick shaped like a human breast to provokeresponses. The sculpture is visually elegant unto itself, yet theseduction of these animals based purely on an impulse to movetoward the salty substance becomes a witty mockery of our ownhuman impulses, routine habits and mundane behaviours.FRANK A. RINEHART: PHOTOGRAPHS Charles A. Hartman Fine Art,Portland, Aug 31–Oct 1 Frank A. Rinehart (1861-1928) is primarilyknown for his sensitive, dignified portraits of Native Americans. In1898 he was commissioned to photograph the Indian Congress inOmaha, Nebraska – a large gathering of American Indian tribesheld in conjunction with the Trans-Mississippi and InternationalExposition. Rinehart subsequently travelled West to photographthose unable to attend the Congress and the resulting portfolio ofimages are regarded as some of the best documentations of thesetribal leaders from the turn of the last century.Nikki McClureSean CainDana PopaMalia JensenFrank A.

The prints continue to appear daring and engaging 50years later.Described as a “joyful revolutionary” and a“guerilla with a paint brush”, Sister Mary Corita(1918-1986) became internationally knownfor her graphic designs during the 1960s and1970s. A Sister of the Immaculate Heart ofMary, Corita ran the Art Department atImmaculate Heart College until 1968 when sheleft the Order and moved to Boston. She continuedto produce lively images until her deathfrom cancer in 1986.In an approach that was radical for theCatholic Church at the time, Corita believedthat direct action can cause real change. Workingwith small groups of nuns and students, Coritadesigned and printed hundreds of differentimages on posters, book covers and murals.Combining sacred and activist ideas, the imagesand text reflect her devout spirituality, her ardentCorita Kent, Somebody had to break the rules (1967), serigraph[Contemporary Art Gallery, Vancouver BC, Sep 8-Oct 30] Reprintedwith permission from the Corita Art Center, Immaculate HeartCommunity, Los Angelescommitment to social justice, and her unrelenting hope for world peace.The Corita Art Center in Hollywood, California is open to the public several days a week with serigraphsales by appointment.

Gibson Gallery, Seattle, Sep 1-Oct 8Portland artist Michael Brophy is known for his large-scale oil paintingsthat address the interaction of humanity with nature, focusing onhow pristine landscape has been negatively impacted. His realistapproach, often based on personal experience, pays homage to the traditionsof painting. Works from his new series (shown with those ofwildlife artist Justin Gibbens) are narratives of paradoxical and ironicevents, such as his recent attempt to view a meteor shower in the deadof night while surrounded by a group of people whose faces were illuminatedby the eerie glow of their smart phones.GARY OLIVEIRA: HALF LIFE Gallery 110, Seattle, Sep 1-24 The tensionthat lies within the potentiality of a moment is of foremost interest toGary Oliveira. Produced during stretches of time living in Japan, hisphotographic works explore concepts of stillness and motion throughthe lens of an outsider. Those midpoints that await outcomes, arereferred to as “half life” moments. They contain potential for conclusionsto unfold and give Oliveira’s contemplative imagery a subtle narrativeof capturing a story's point just before it reaches its crest.STUDIES: PREPARATORY WORKS THAT STAND ALONEPrographica/fine works on paper, Seattle, Sep 17-Oct 22 Preparatorystudies for larger works or works that stand alone as a result of studioprocess define this exhibition by gallery artists. Kim Frohsin and AnnGale work directly from models to capture movement, personality andpsychological attributes. Landscape painter Philip Govedare oftenpaints on site, whereas Sally Cleveland's collage marks a departure intonon-objective work. Oil-on-photograph studies by Randy Hayes arefrom his Kyoto Views series and works by Jim Holl interpret landscapeelements in expressive lyrical compositions. The preparatory stage forTim Lowly's complex paintings includes drawing and photographywhich carry much of the emotional weight for his finished pieces.Carolee SchneemanSeated Indra, c. 13th centuryMichael BrophyGary OliveiraKim FrohsinPHOTO: PAUL MACAPIAwww.preview-art.com PREVIEW 79

www.lisaharrisgallery.com/John Cole: Cubist ThinkingLISA HARRIS GALLERY, SEATTLE WA – October 6-31, 2011 In his lifetime, Washington artist John Cole(1936-2007) was an avid outdoorsman. Much of his work is dominated by the thematic presence ofcanyons, mountains and countryside painted in bold and vivid interpretations influenced by Impressionismand Fauvism.Cubist Thinking examines Cole’s interest in Cubism andthe influence that Cubist methods had on his work over theyears. Assembled by the Lisa Harris Gallery, the exhibitionincludes highly-abstracted still life scenes of objects in hisstudio. The compositions of the early still life studies revealhis experiments with multiple viewpoints. The approach issimilar to that used by Cézanne for his tabletop paintings.Later works include unique renditions of scenery inthe American Southwest, with canyons and mountainsreduced to their essential geometric facets and forms.Paintings from Cole’s Genesis series illustrate his earlymodernist sensibilities, where simplified human formsreminiscent of Matisse’s collages interact with energeticabstracted landscapes.John Cole was born in London and lived blocks fromthe Tate Gallery where he was first exposed to Cubism. Hisfamily survived German bombing raids during WWII.After the war Cole was granted a scholarship to the RoyalAcademy but was unable to attend as his family emigratedJohn Cole, Tijeras Canyon NM (1991), oil on paper[Lisa Harris Gallery, Seattle WA, Oct 6-31]to the United States when he was fifteen. Cole began experimenting with modernist abstraction whileattending New York’s Pratt Institute during the 1950s.

COURTESY OF THE ARTIST AND P.P.O.W. GALLERY, NY / PHOTO: JASON SCHMIDTwww.bellevuearts.orgTravelers: Objects of Dream and RevelationBELLEVUE ARTS MUSEUM, BELLEVUE WA – Aug 26-Dec 31, 2011 Travelers: Objects of Dream and Revelationbrings together the work of nine contemporary artists who loosely explore the theme of travel.Sculptural objects and installations provoke fantasies and dream-oriented ideas about the anticipationof travel and what can be experienced and what actually happens during travel.The artists – Janice Arnold, Margarita Cabrera, Marc Dombrosky, Erika Harrsch, TimothyHorn, Cal Lane, Walter Martin & Paloma Muñoz, and Robb Putnam – investigate the alluringnotion of escape from routine inlyrical works with imaginary narratives.Their pieces are unified byan emphasis on surrealist qualitiesthat sometimes parallel the actualexperience of travel in our culture.In particular, snow globesculptures by Walter Martin &Paloma Muñoz conjure memoriesfrom childhood excursions, whileMargarita Cabrera’s deflatedlookingbicycle made from vinyl,thread, wire and foam feels likesomething from an escapist dreamTimothy Horn, Mother-Load (2008), crystallized rock sugar, plywood, steel [BellevueArts Museum, Bellevue WA, Aug 26-Dec 31]that went awry. Janice Arnold andTimothy Horn both presentambitious life-sized works.Arnold’s tent-like installation fashionedfrom elegant and luxuriousfabrics evokes images of exotic lands, while Horn’s fantastical carriage made of crystallized rock sugarseems like it came from an extravagant tale in a world where baroque sensibilities collide with WillyWonka-like playfulness.

www.fryemuseum.orgGabriel von Max: Be-tailed Cousinsand Phantasms of the SoulFRYE ART MUSEUM, SEATTLE WA – Jul 9-Oct 30, 2011 Although Gabriel von Max (1840-1915) was anesteemed painter in his day, this is the first solo museumexhibit of his work in the United States. Considereda Munich Secessionist, the controversial late-19th-century artist explored narratives on life,death and temptation, often with biblical and literaryreferences, in moody pieces with allegorical undertones.While he is known for his paintings of beautifuldead women, Max also had a strong interest in naturalsciences, the occult and the origins of mankind.With such subjects, his paintings were often deemedmorbid, although his technical skills and imaginativeintelligence are self-evident.This comprehensive exhibit includes some ofMax’s most important works, many of which are onloan from private collections and major museums inMunich and Prague. Among them are The Anatomist,(1869), which depicts the corpse of young woman asthe anatomist ponders her dissection, and Max’s movingportrayal of The Ecstatic Virgin Anna KatharinaEmmerich (1885).The signature piece of the exhibit, The ChristianMartyr (1867) was Max’s first major painting, createdGabriel von Max, For der Arena (Outside the Arena) (1880),oil on canvas [Frye Art Museum, Seattle WA, Jul 9-Oct 30]when he was a 27-year-old student at Munich’s Royal Academy. A series of India ink drawings andwoodcuts on the subject of Faust, as well as paintings depicting Max’s own monkeys engaged inhuman activities, will also be part of this survey.
