Chris Anderson: TimepiecesBELLEVUE GALLERY, WEST VANCOUVER BC – Dec 6, 2006-Jan 7, 2007 Timepieces by Americanartist Chris Anderson consists of a series of mixed-media paintings on paper. The metaphor for eachimage is a clock, with a small square signifying the “hand”rotating around the perimeter. Anderson actually sets the timewhen she begins each piece, then engrosses herself in the processof experimentation with materials, patterns, textures and colourrelationships.The artist writes, “These paintings appear as abstractions atfirst glance, but they are for me a very real visual diary… Eachpiece recalls the place in which I made the work, the worldoutside my studio, the time of day, the light, the sounds, and myown state of mind and heart – both spiritually and emotionally.”At 29.5" × 41.5" each, the paintings would allow extensivecompositional detail, but Anderson manages to keep each onesimple and streamlined.Anderson currently teaches at the Pratt Institute of Art inNew York, where she once studied. She also holds a Bachelor ofArts from Scripps College in Claremont, California and an MFAfrom Claremont Graduate University. From 1996 to 1998,Anderson worked as a Fulbright Senior Scholar in Berlin. She hasbeen the recipient of grants from The National Endowment forthe Arts, New York Foundation for the Arts, Artists Space,previewwww.bellevuegallery.caChris Anderson, Small Clocks (2006), mixedmedia [Bellevue Gallery, West Vancouver BC,Dec 6-Jan 7, 2007]Ludwig Vogelstein Foundation, New York State Council on the Arts (CAPS Grant), and The Councilfor International Exchange of Scholars (Fulbright), among many others.

Alessandro Papetti: New PaintingsBUSCHLEN MOWATT GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Nov 1-30 A new series by Italian expressionistpainter Alessandro Papetti continues his exploration of movement and light. Papetti attempts to“capture” a moment on canvas in the same way that a camera does, in a fraction of a second.Papetti himself has described his artistic production as a record of what happens in the time andspace between two different events – whether a change in point of view, a change caused by thepassing of time, or a re-positioning of a subject. His masterful brushwork seeks elusive glimpses ofcity streets and bridges, the pose of a model, theenergy of shipping yards, and the expansivevolume of cargo ships. The works reveal anintimate, shifting balance between chaos andcalm.Papetti lives and works in his birth city,Milan. He first exhibited in Milan in 1987 andsince 1995, has divided his time between Milanand Paris. Largely self-taught, he has relied uponhis own curiosity, observation and research todevelop his passion. He has now painted for 21years and has had dozens of internationalexhibits.Papetti’s mesmerizing work has beenpreviewwww.buschlenmowatt.comAlessandro Papetti, Paris (2006), oil on linen [Buschlen MowattGallery, Vancouver BC, Nov 1-30]described as demonstrating “intuitive self-possession’, “dazzling bravura” and “a palpable, vividsense of the brilliant presence of a whirlpool of energy that illuminates things”. His paintings arefound in private and museum collections around the world.

BEHIND THE SCENESIf it’s not Phytosanitary, it might languish in Halifax!BY ANN ROSENBERGImagine this. You are a professional artist accustomed to packingand shipping your work. In August 2006 you decide to importpaintings back to Canada which had been in Europe for fiveyears. When the crate arrives in Halifax, there is a call to informyou that the Canada Customs wood expert has placed shipment#265999 “under detention”. There will be “charges for a fullexam”.Several phone calls were required to find out what this wasabout. The artist had his pine and plywood containers made longbefore July 5, 2006, when the strict rules about the exportationand importation of crates had been put in place by the CanadaFood Inspection Agency. The CFIA’s special interest in such matters reflects the Government ofCanada’s desire to protect this country from all threats, including those posed to the environmentthrough harmful pests and invasive alien species. Plant materials of all kinds, including wood, are ofinterest. (Phyto is the Greek word for plant.)As of the date mentioned above, the government vowed to impound shipments containing woodpackaging that did not meet Canadian import requirements.“Wood packaging must be treated, marked or have a valid Phytosanitary Certificate and be freeof living pests.” Shipments showing signs of infestation will be “immediately safeguarded” and “willbe refused entry”.The same standards for Phytosanitary Measures apply for Canada, the United States and Mexicoand many other countries are enforcing similar regulations. Detailed information about all aspectsof wood packaging regulations; fees regarding the inspection of crates and the disposal of infectedwood products can be obtained through the Canadian Food Inspection Agency at www.inspection.gc.ca/english.Everyone would agree that alien pests are no laughing matter. One would no more wish toexport the Western Mountain Pine Beetle that is killing our forests in B.C. to Asia, than one wouldwant to help the Long Horn Beetle that flourishes there, for example, to come here to put our woodin further jeopardy. What seems unfair in this instance is that the mistake over something thepainter (and indeed the European shipper) could not have known about (considering a one-monthlead time) will cost the artist almost $2,000 more than the crate’s typical trip home would have. Thisshort article is intended to alert galleries and artists to the newly instituted regulations regardingwooden crates, in the hope that they can avoid costly mistakes.I have spoken to people in ten galleries who are involved in international shipping and only afew were aware, in detail, about Phytosanitary packaging requirements. Ken Stephens of DenbighDesign seemed very familiar with the new rules and has never had trouble at the border with thecrates he has constructed. In Vancouver, Can-Crate Industries Limited and Cratex are certified toproduce approved packages out of appropriately treated materials, as are Artech Inc. in Seattle andArtwork Fine Art Services in Portland. All these businesses have personnel who have had professionaltraining in this area of expertise.Methods for debugging a crate remind me of the lab-talk in CSI MIAMI where what the “Perp”has done to the “Vic” is described in gruesome detail. Non-compliant wood packaging can be incinerated,subjected to “deep burial within a period prescribed by an inspector… to a depth of no lessthan three metres (in a place) that won’t ‘be disturbed’ ”. Or it may be subjected to heat treatment,kiln drying, fumigation and/or processing into other wood products like wood dust, wood mulchand wood fuel before it can be declared a non-problem.Ann Rosenberg is a freelance curator, critic and author.NEXT ISSUE: To label or not to label.16 PREVIEW

Christopher BurkettNORTHWEST BY NORTHWEST GALLERY, CANNON BEACH OR – Nov 25-Jan 5 ChristopherBurkett’s large-scale colour photographs capture splendid moments in nature. His immaculatelandscape prints, up to 50 inches wide, engross viewers with their fine details and delicatepresentation of nature’s cycles. Burkett’s latest images, likeGolden Aspen Glade, Colorado and Autumn Tempest, Utah,have a new panoramic format. They are exhibited withclassic signature works like Cottonwood and Light, Utahwhere Burkett’s use of temporal light to transform actualhues is at its peak.The spirit of nature compels Burkett to create imagessuffused with an inner radiance and soft glow. As he putsit, “I'm trying to show something that is precious andreal: something that most people do not see.” Burkett, anative Oregonian, is nationally recognized for hisdarkroom mastery and Cibachrome prints. Devoted tothe craft of conventional optical printing, Burkett doesnot crop or digitally manipulate any of his originalphotographs. Instead, he shoots them with a large formatcamera and uses 8" × 10" colour transparencies (incombination with black and white contact negatives) toachieve sharp contrast and luminosity, meticulouslyprinting the work himself with sophisticated maskingtechniques.Burkett studied with Ansel Adams and learned hissystem of zone exposure before working in offset printingpreviewwww.NWBYNWGALLERY.comChristopher Burkett, Graceful Aspen, Colorado (2005),cibachrome [Northwest by Northwest Gallery, CannonBeach OR, Nov 25-Jan 5]and laser scanning. He produced detailed colour separations that eventually led to the acutechromatic sense and rich tonality that defines his work today. Just back from his fall shoot, Burkettwill be at Northwest by Northwest Gallery on November 25 from 1-3pm to give an informal talk on“The Art and Craft of Traditional Darkroom Printing.” Allyn Cantorto abstract mixed media, we offer avariety of works to enhance your artcollection.

Practical Art History orConfessions of a Fine Art AppraiserBY JIM FINLAYJAMES FINLAYFINE ART WEALTH MANAGEMENTChapter 8. The Case of MS.I was asked to identify the artist involved in painting three oil on canvaspaintings, representing locations around Vancouver. The paintings were notsigned, however, they did bear a monogram, lower right hand corner, with adate of 1978. The owner had apparently inherited the pieces from his fathersome years earlier and recalled his father telling him that he had purchased thepaintings directly from the artist, possibly on Granville Island. Since thepaintings were of local scenes I surmised that the artist probably was local orhad spent some time in Vancouver during the mid to late seventies.The monogram appeared to be the stylized initials MS. Armed with thisclue I visited the Vancouver Public Library’s Fine Art Department and examined their artist clippingfile. This is a file created and maintained by library staff of articles, photographs and reviews,relating to the activities, exhibitions and other endeavours of local artists.I determined after a review of the files that the initials MS might refer to a listed local artistnamed Maurice Spira. A quick search of the artist on the Internet revealed his website and thereemblazoned across his home page was the monogram.In conversation with the artist he mentioned that he beganusing the monogram rather that signing his name, due tohis admiration of the Pre-Raphaelites and their rejection ofthe conventions established by the Royal Academy. Hischoice of the stylized MS comes from a graphic designbackground.Maurice Spira was born in Kent, England, July 4, 1944MS, Untitled (no date), oil on canvasMS, Untitled (no date), oil on canvasand studied at The Provincial Art School, Kent, from 1960to 1964. He immigrated to Canada in 1966 and settled inMontreal, where he became involved in radical politics.“That’s where I developed an analysis that saw variousforms of authority as being something that we createourselves” 1 .Although the subject matter of the paintings I wasasked to identify are innocuous landscapes, Spira issomewhat controversial.When I visited the Surrey ArtGallery to purchase a 1988 exhibition catalogue of hiswork, the receptionist remembered MS and in particularhis grotesque and ghoulish paintings. The curator of theSurrey show did not hang one of his paintings because “there would be a tremendous problem withthe painting” 2 , however an image of the painting did appear in the exhibition catalogue. His workhas been described as “grotesque images of society’s dark power mongers” 3 and in 1989 hecancelled a show due to what he perceived as censorship of his work, not by the public, but by aVancouver gallery. In 1996 his painting ‘Yuletide Cheer’ was removed from a Gibsons art gallerywhen one of the gallery board members remarked “Gee, this is going to cause trouble-I know it is.” 4Although somewhat controversial, Maurice Spira has stood by his Pre-Raphaelite credo and Iadmire him for doing so.1 Godley, Elizabeth.

Kevin TolmanGALLERY JONES, VANCOUVER BC – Nov 1-30 Artist KevinTolman from Albuquerque, New Mexico is exhibiting hisabstract paintings in Vancouver during November. Painted inoff-key colours, the canvasses are filled with small shapes thatappear energetic and capricious. The colours, textures andtones of his organic world – cavorting layers of amoeba-likeloops, drips, dots, specks and spirals – collide with shapesthat appear more manufactured.Tolman obviously has a deep sense of the natural worldand its complexity, although he is primarily a painter. As hewrites, “I see [my paintings] as symbols of continuity andflux, often as a sort of snippet of nature. Distillations orwindows that catch everything going on all the time, all atonce… parts flying or swimming off in every direction. And,of course, I also see them clearly as paintings that are objectspreviewwww.galleryjones.comKevin Tolman, The Conjuror (2006), acrylic oncanvas [Gallery Jones, Vancouver BC, Nov 1-30]on their own, first and foremost.” They are an elaborate improvisation on both nature and painting.Tolman was born in Detroit, Michigan in 1949 and is a graduate of the Center for CreativeStudies. He left Detroit in 1977 to paint in Ireland for nine months, then returned to live and workin Texas. He also lived in Lawrence, Kansas and Los Angeles before moving to the Ramah NavajoReservation in New Mexico in 1981. He settled in the Duranes area of Albuquerque where he builtan adobe house and studio in 1987. Tolman’s paintings have been recently collected by the State ofNew Mexico and the Albuquerque Museum of Art.

Martin Ouellette: No TrespassingSNAP CONTEMPORARY ART, VANCOUVER BC – Nov 15-Dec 8 In thenew series of work, No Trespassing, Toronto artist Martin Oulettepresents his enlargements of everyday detritus. “Captivated by lonelyand forgotten things”, he creates airbrushed photo-realist paintingsdepicting old nails embedded in wood; crumpled newspapers andmagazines; rough bark and other debris. His subjects are looselydefined, with focal points painted in more detail. The images rely fortheir visual impact on the use of a photographic depth of field.Ouellette increases an aura of surrealism with unlikely, saturatedcolour combinations, as well as blurred passages into hazybackgrounds.Ouellete graduated from the Ontario College of Art and Design in2002 and did advanced studies in studio practices in Florence, Italy.His work has been exhibited in Toronto, including the TorontoInternational Art Fair (2005) and several exhibits at the SPIN Galleryand Gallery Neubacher.The Snap Contemporary Art Gallery on West 3rd Avenue is thebrainchild of Barry Dumka. After spending a year in Paris as an artdealer’s assistant, Dumka seeks to show “an appreciation for all thatart can be… not what it fashions but how it informs”.

GALLERY VIEWSBY ANN ROSENBERGCENTRE A I’ve got my eye on you!Several months before Woodwards’ walls cametumbling down, Centre A (Vancouver’s InternationalCentre for Contemporary Asian Art) moved from anoffice building at 849 Howe Street in Vancouver’sbusiness district to the handsome 1912 edifice thatonce was the terminus for the trams that serviced thedowntown area. Like the Art Gym described in theprevious GALLERY VIEWS, the B.C. Electric CompanyHeadquarters offered good potential for becomingan important art and events venue.Its ground floor boasts 25-foot ceilings, cementfloors and a cluster of five metal supporting piers situatedaway from the walls to the left of the mainentrance. There are 5000 square feet of virtually clear Centre A, 8 West Hastings Street, Vancouver BCspace and some make-do lighting. Ironically, a singledesk lamp dimly illuminates the office in the depth of the cavernous room.Executive Director Hank Bull says approximately $50,000 must be raised to transform CentreA into a properly functioning space. He hopes that the premise the non-profit society now rents at8 West Hastings Street will soon be protected by a ‘bonused’ arrangement with the developer thatwould give the long-term stability necessary.Centre A is a stones throw away from the new Woodwards’ development which is designatedas a multipurpose complex (including social housing and high-end condos). The complex, situatedin Canada’s poorest, most drug-plagued neighbourhood will likely open in 20l0. Centre A isnow one of several, non-profit venues near to the Woodwards’ project that includes the longestablishedArtspeak, Gachet and Access galleries and is situated on the Carrall Street Corridormidway between the main tourist areas of Gastown and Chinatown.Centre A plans to coordinate programs with its neighbours’ offerings and it will continue tofulfill its mandate of showcasing contemporary Asian art. It also plans to include more FirstNations shows in its roster.The exhibitions will serve social, ethnic and cultural groups in this community which is in theprocess of social change. Germaine Koh’s installation 5,000 Beer Bottles and 30 Years of JapaneseVideo from Video In’s collection will follow the current exhibition, Joanne Staniskis’s Silk City.Ann Rosenberg is a freelance curator, critic and author.grunt gallery116-350 E 2nd Ave ✆604-875-9516www.grunt.bc.cawed-sat 12-6pm Thru Dec 2 FeliciaGay, Joi Arcand, Chrystal Kruszelnicki,“Give Her a Face”, photographyinstallation; Jan 5-Feb 10 Carol Itterwith performance Jan 5 at 8pm.Harrison Galleries901 Homer St ✆604-732-5217www.harrisongalleries.comdaily 10am-6pm Nov-Jan Contactthe gallery for exhibition information.★ Havana Gallery1212 Commercial Dr ✆604-253-9119www.havanarestaurant.camon-fri 11am-midnight sat-sun10am to midnight Thru Nov 18 GailTaylor, "Portraits of Nature", oil andacrylics on canvas; Nov 19-Dec 9Tony Bruno, "Impressions of Light",oil paintings on canvas; Dec 10-Jan 6,2007 Tawny Blythe Darbyshire,acrylic paintings on canvas; Jan 7-27Kathryn Brimacombe.Heffel Fine Art AuctionHouse2247 Granville St ✆604-732-6505800-528-9608 www.heffel.common-sat 10am-6pm Live AuctionNov 24 7pm in Toronto at the ParkHyatt Hotel, Fine Canadian Art.

Conservator’s CornerBY REBECCA PAVITTPACIFIC CONSERVATORSWWW.FINEARTCONSERVE.COMOne World One HopeThe treatment of a monumental wall hanging designed by Joe AverageIn 1996, Vancouver hosted the International AidsConference. The central visual icon of that historic event was a29 x 32 foot hanging designed by Joe Average.Just prior to installation, the hanging was sprayed withbromide salt fire retardant which, when dry, crystallized on thesurface, obscuring the image. This was largely removed byflushing the quilt with water – work was done on blue tarps ina specially rented parking lot in Vancouver. One can onlyimagine the anxiety surrounding this last minute scramble tohave the quilt presentable and installed on schedule. But thefinished result was worth all of the work. Joe Average wasvisibly moved when he recalled seeing the quilt spotlighted inthe darkened hall at opening ceremonies.In 2006, Canada once again hosted the International AidsConference, this time in Toronto. The quilt was to be afeatured display at the event but, when it was removed fromstorage, dusty grey-white stains were found to cover much ofthe fabric. The quilt must be cleaned and readied for display.Chemical tests showed that though the grey-white materialcontained some bromide salt, it was mainly miscellaneousdust and dirt that likely attached itself to the still damp quiltduring its wash in the parking lot and its installation and deinstallationat GM Place. After some experimentation it wasfound that the material was best removed by vacuuming, andthen brushing residual stains with a semi-stiff brush andvacuuming again. A small Eureka vacuum cleaner, with asecondary “HEPA” like filter was purchased for the job, as wasa special soft bristle cleaning head. Soft tooth and dustingbrushes were also essential tools for this job.Size made it impossible to unfold the quilt entirely. Instead,it was worked on in sections, on the floor of the basementrecreation room of St. Paul’s Anglican Church in Vancouver.Because it was necessary to step on the quilt to reach all partsof it, shoes were removed and a large stock-pile of clean sockskept on handAfter cleaning, an underlay of unsized sheeting was made,to help with storing and handling the quilt. Buckledpolypropylene straps to hold the quilt when folded and rolledwere also made, as was a Tyvek and Velcro outer wrap toprotect the piece when traveling and in storage. The quilt wasproudly displayed in Toronto in all its newly cleaned glory.Many thanks to the Dr. Peter Foundation for funding the treatment, and for care-takingthis unique icon of AIDS awareness.Conservator’s Corner articles are archived on-line at: www.preview-art.com.NEXT ISSUE: The structural repair of artwork.Wall hanging at the International AidsConference, 1996Brushing resistant accretionsVolunteer with vacuum50 PREVIEW

previewwww.kostuikgallery.comAron Hill: Birds in Opposition, A Natural HistoryAron Hill, ah28 (2006), pencil on paper[Jennifer Kostuik Gallery, Vancouver BC,Nov 9-26]JENNIFER KOSTIUK GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Nov 9-26Alberta-based artist Aron Hill graduated from the AlbertaCollege of Art and Design (ACAD) in May of 2000 with a BFAmajor in painting & sculpture. Since that time, his paintingshave shown extensive experimentation with improbablecombinations of styles and techniques – airbrush gradationswith paint spatters, and diagrammatic shapes with smoothwatercolour washes. Hill’s most recent series of work, Birds inOpposition, A Natural History, are pencil and paper bird images,complete with places to live and escape from. They are aselegant and refined as Audubons drawings, but theiranatomically incorrect forms and individual characters give them almost human souls.Since 2000, Aron has been exhibiting at the Jennifer Kostuik Gallery, which previewed hisLoveland series in 2003. The Herringer Kiss Gallery in Calgary, Alberta also represents Aron’swork. In 2006, he received his Master of Fine Arts in painting from Goldsmith College,London, England.He writes, “It is in the process of stripping down and focusing where the environmentbecomes sterile and stark. It is in this environment where the details become obvious andwhere naturalism and architecture is faced quietly and scientifically. Empirical processes arefictionalized and the affect of minimalism is played out in a controlled space that makesspectacles of the given objects. Using minimal tools, colours and objects the rhetoric isminimized and becomes primarily concerned with formalism. After this concern the subject isrooted in architecture’s opposition to nature and human’s manifestation of this opposition,including mine.” Mia JohnsonOmega Custom Framing &Gallery4290 Dunbar St ✆604-732-6778www.omegagallery.camon-sat 10am-6pm Thru Nov 10Pnina Granirer, “In Search of Meaning”,paintings, some with mylar and3D Plexiglas constructions; Nov 12-Dec 8 David Lemon, new works,mixed media on canvas; Dec 9-30Graham Smith, “Backyard Dreams”,oil stick paintings; Jan 2-24 “GroupShow”, gallery artists.Or Gallery103-480 Smithe St ✆604-683-7395www.orgallery.orgtues-sat 12-5pm Dec 23-Jan 4: closedThru Nov 11 David Askevold, StephanDillemuth, Paul Gellman, FraukeGust, Judith Hopf, Annette Kelm,Alice Könitz, Cristóbal Lehyt, JulieLequin, Marriage (James TsangMathBass), Reza Monahan, Arthur Ou,Katrin Pesch, Fredrik Strid,Stephanie Taylor and Michaela Wünsch,“New Ghost Entertainment-Entitled”,poses the question of whetheran engagement with mediumism, spiritualismor ghost stories can serve asa contemporary approach towardinventing or reinventing artistic andpolitical forms of expression, andwhether the metaphor of the ghost canadd a useful dimension to criticalengagement with social and politicalphenomena; Dec 1-Jan 13, 2007Kristin Lucas, belongs to a generationof young artists working in video,installation, performance and interactiveWeb projects.

previewwww.fosterwhite.comDale Lindman: Substance of MatterFOSTER WHITE GALLERY, SEATTLE WA – Nov 2-25 The exhibit of Seattle-based painter DaleLindman, Substance of Matter, continues the artist's investigation into the capacity of physicalmaterials to create impasto effects and simultaneously convey atmospheric conditions. Like abstractexpressionists Mark Rothko, Clyfford Still and RichardDiebenkorn in the late 1940s and early 50s, Lindman haseffectively created minimal compositions. They hint atlandscapes but are more formal, often controlled by contrastingtextures applied in bands across the panels.The nonobjective, reductive approach in Lindman's work isless obvious when the surfaces are studied carefully. They are,in fact more like relief sculptures than paintings. He uses aconglomeration of acrylic emulsions, dry pigments and glassmicro beads combined in thick layers. The materials createsurface conditions like cracks and fissures that relate his workto natural materials like rusted metal, patterns of granite,corroded paint and the cracking of sun-baked earth. His titles,such as Approaching Twilight and Thicket of the Sun, expressshifting moments where atmospheric light creates ephemeralexperiences. The resulting sheen of the deep satin surfacesprovoke the kind of introspection one imagines Lindman feelswhen creating such evocative paintings.Dale Lindman received his MFA from the University ofWashington in 1982. He has taught at Pratt Fine Arts Centerand the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. CurrentlyLindman teaches at Bellevue Community College.

Miroslav Tichý: TichýPRESENTATION HOUSE GALLERY, NORTH VANCOUVER BC – Nov 17, 2006-Jan 14, 2007Presentation House Gallery is showing the photography of Czech artist Miroslav Tichý in its first publicgallery exhibition outside Europe. Tichý was born in a small village in Moravia in 1926 and attended theAcademy of Fine Arts in Prague from 1945-1948. Hedrew and painted until, in the early 1970s, he was evictedfrom his studio. He spent some eight years in prisoncamps and jails for being ‘different’ and therefore possiblysubversive.During the Communist regime, Tichý begansurreptitiously taking photographs instead. Many were ofwomen he glimpsed as he roamed the street in rags. Heimprovised cameras by assembling empty tin cans, toiletrolls, plastic drain pipes and cigarette boxes. He cut hislenses from Plexiglas, ground them with sandpaper andpolished them with toothpaste and ashes. He shothundreds of images every day and printed soft, cloudy,previewwww.presentationhousegall.comMiroslav Tichý, handmade camera [Presentation HouseGallery, North Vancouver BC, Nov 17-Jan 14]smudged impressions using improvised darkroom equipment. Taken at odd angles, often against the lightor in the dark, the figures have an intense, dream-like quality. They have been described as “exquisitelyproduced small objects of obsession”.After spending decades as a recluse and social outcast, Tichý had his work selected by curator HaroldSzeemann for the Seville Bienial in 2004. In 2005, he won the Discovery Award at Photography Arles andthe Kunsthaus Zurich, in Switzerland organized a major retrospective. In 2005 and 2006, he also had soloexhibitions in several commercial art galleries and at the Frans Hals Museum in Haarlem, the Netherlands.Recent group exhibitions include Artists for Tichý – Tichý for Artists. Tichý is the subject of severalpublications, articles and a documentary film produced in 2004-05. His photographs are in publiccollections such as the Centre Pompidou, Paris and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.

Mara Korkola: Dusk to NightDOUGLAS UDELL GALLERY, EDMONTON AB – Nov 4-18 In her first exhibition at the Douglas UdellGallery, Toronto artist Mara Korkola presents fascinating night glimpses of traffic on the outskirts oftowns. Born in 1965 in Marathon, Ontario, Korkoladescribes the margins of Canadian towns and cities: thoseindefinable stretches of telephone poles, billboards, fastfood restaurants and obscure service centres.The roads, dotted with the glow of headlights andtransport trucks, are a dominant compositional andnarrative force. But like “Patsy Cline in oils”, the tinypaintings juxtapose the thoroughfares with the heartbreakingbeauty of sunsets and evening skies. In manyimages, the lights alone create strands of jewels against thedarkness. Her paintings have been described as “… moodyminiature noctures of the highway at night, glazed withwanderlust” (Globe and Mail).Korkola holds an MFA from the University of Texas atSan Antonio, a BFA from Wichita State University (Kansas)previewwww.douglasudellgallery.comMara Korkola, No Place 140 (2006), oil on aluminum[Douglas Udell Gallery, Edmonton AB, Nov 4-18]and is a graduate of the Ontario College of Art and Design (Toronto).

FRAN WILLIS GALLERY, VICTORIA BC – Nov 2-25 In this two-part exhibition, the brightlycolouredimages of Victoria artist Joy Anson and six artists of Indian heritage fill the Fran WillisGallery with verve and energy. Thepaintings and prints of the seven artists usehigh-key colour, figurative abstraction tothe point of distortion, a two-dimensionaltreatment of form, and a predominance oforganic and geometric patterns.Joy Anson has been described as aprimitive or naïve artist. With a whimsicaland humorous sensibility, she createscharming and often nostalgic scenes offamilies, friends and their pets. Her workshares a narrative bent with that of HarenVakil, who lives in Victoria, and JaswantGuzder, who lives in Montreal. Vakil’s workis almost cartoon-like in its complexsurrealism, showing people and animalsstylized like robots. Guzder’s breezywatercolour-like style is loose and dreamy.previewwww.franwillis.comSix Contemporary Artists of Indian Heritage +Joy Anson: Figurative WorksShahid Parvez, Untitled #1 (2006) tempera [Fran Willis Gallery,Victoria BC, Nov 2-25]The other four artists are well-established in India: Shahid Parvez, showing paintings, etchingsand silkscreens; Megansh Thapa, paintings; Alit Dutt, paintings; and Vinay Sharma, mixed mediapaintings.

Frank Boyden: The EmpathiesLAURA RUSSO GALLERY, PORTLAND OR – Nov 2-Dec 2 Oregon artist Frank Boyden first earneda national reputation as a ceramicist and sculptor in the 1970s and early 80s. He returned toprintmaking in 1984. This past summer, his prints and books were the focus of a retrospective atthe Hallie Ford Museum in Salem, Oregon, custodian of the largest permanent collection ofBoyden’s printworks. His work is also included in prominentcollections at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington DC,the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, and both the Portland andTacoma Art Museums.Boyden’s prints are frequently characterized by darkness.Driven by his own anger at political and religious paradigms,as well as by his disgust with the corruption of war, his latestseries, The Empathies, concentrates on unmasked portraits ofhumanity. The compelling suite of 96 drypoints, only 2 x 3inches each, demonstrate an acute observation of variegatedpsychological personas. The tiny but haunting studies reachdeep into the human psyche to depict suffering, anguish,desperation and sadness. They convey the dysphoric side ofhumanity with a presence reminiscent of GermanExpressionism or Goya’s Los Caprichos.Boyden wrote, “I proceeded to draw a plethora of beingsthat were horrendous and vile. All were characters fromcreation's ineptitudes, vagaries, vengeances, and sad jokes.Some portrayals are frail and desolate, questioning mortality,while others palliate the struggle of humankind.” The printsare documented in an 80-page catalogue accompanying theexhibition.

Staniszkis engages withher material at every stage. She raises the silk worms, growsmulberry trees to feed them and watches them spin theirtightly woven cocoons.An elaborate juxtaposition of giant cocoons, architecturalmodels and live silk worms animates the cathedral-like venueand creates a complex dialogue between Vancouver’s past andpresent. The contemporary urban geography of the rapidlydevelopingand changing city acts as a metaphor for personalgrowth. The installation evokes Vancouver’s history as a portfor ships arriving from Asia laden with raw silk.

World Upside DownWALTER PHILLIPS GALLERY, BANFF AB – through Mar 4, 2007 Curated by Richard William Hill, WorldUpside Down is a group exhibition of work by individual artists, artist collectives, posters and moviestills that turn normal events upside-down,inside-out and on their head. Killer rabbits huntfor humans, Superman is a hero of the SovietUnion, and British aristocrats are dressed inAfrican fabrics.During the 20th Century, conceptual artistshave frequently illuminated and contradictedthe things we take for granted: the veryconventions of “normal” life. These artworksgenerate social satires exposing what we believeto be truth as simple consensus that may noteven be timely any more. Behaviours taken asnatural and necessary are often revealed asmerely conventional, and possibly not even inour best interests.Among the many works in the exhibit, Jimpreviewwww.banffcentre.ca/wpgTerrance Houle and Jarusha Brown, Untitled (from the Urban IndianSeries) (2006) [Walter Phillips Gallery, Banff AB, through Mar 4,2007]Logan’s The Diner’s Club, No Reservations Required inverts the codes of gendered and racializedrepresentation in Manet’s, Déjeuner sur l’herbe. Yinka Shonibare has restaged Gainsborough’s famouspainted portrait Mr. and Mrs. Andrews as a sculpture, decapitated the sitters, removed the landscape anddressed the subjects in colourful “African” fabrics, referencing complex, hybrid colonial histories. In asimilar socio-political vein, General Idea has changed Robert Indiana’s classic 1960s “Love” graphic to“AIDS”. A commissioned billboard project by Terrance Houle uses photography and video to parody thecomplexities of contemporary Aboriginal identity.

Tyson Grumm: The HobnobbersBEPPU WIARDA GALLERY, PORTLAND OR – Nov 1-Dec 2 Tyson Grumm’s acrylic paintings havegained recognition both locally and nationally since 1996, when he received his BFA fromSouthern Oregon State University. Grumm’s allegorical scenes are reminiscent of another time andplace, where contrived moments are skewed by unsuspected relationships among his subjects,their settings and costumes.Grumm’s paintings are concisely rendered, making thesurreal tableau that much more witty. There is a sense offamiliarity or even nostalgia, although it is difficult topinpoint the meaning of the situations. Many appearhumorous. Strange characters and odd animals areportrayed as either illustrating a tale or as classic portraits.For example, the red head adornment of Miss Doodle Do issculpted like a rooster, signifying perhaps, a mascot or anaffinity for the species. Many of the paintings are mountedwithin the context of old objects that act as framingdevices. These paintings resemble family heirlooms ortreasured antiques.As Grumm states, “It will create its own history as thepiece of art is interpreted and observed by its owners andgenerations to come. This time-lapsed magical event ispossibly the single most inspiring part about creating thesepieces.” Grumm’s work has been exhibited in London, NewYork, California and Kirkland, Washingon, and is includedin many public and private collections throughout Oregonand Washington.
