PHO<strong>TO</strong>: GRAHAME LYNCHwww.esplanade.ca/art-galleryGrahame Lynch: The Logic of SubductionESPLANADE GALLERY, MEDICINE HAT AB – Feb 23-Apr 13, 2013 The Logic of Subduction is a travellingexhibit previously shown at the Thames Art Gallery, Ontario and continuing to the WKP KennedyGallery, North Bay and the Station Gallery, Whitby. Conceived by Ontario artist Grahame Lynch,the project employs unboundsections of pages from Reader’sDigest Condensed Books. Theyhave been cut (“to reveal a coresample of their content”) andbound between steel compressionplates, then placed behindtempered glass in installationpieces that comment in part onhis own visual difficulties.Etched text superimposed onthe polished surfaces refers tojournal entries written whileGrahame Lynch, The Logic of Subduction (2011), detail, cut and sewn paper[Esplanade Gallery, Medicine Hat AB, Feb 23-Apr 13]Lynch was trekking through thecanyons and deserts of Utah.Lit by an LED strip, theinstallation requires viewers touse a magnifying glass to peer at the words. Ironically, the visually-impaired artist writes, “I findmyself walking around unable to see anything, because I can't focus in low light.” The installationwas conceived as a metaphor for the catastrophe inherent in the ever-shifting tectonic plates belowthe earth’s surface.Grahame Lynch is an artist, graphic designer and Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Communicationand Design at Ryerson University, Toronto. He has an MFA from the University ofGuelph and is currently enrolled in the Master of Inclusive Design program at OCAD University.He is developing operational methods for documenting, publishing and communicating aboutartwork in ways that address limits placed on the experience of artwork encountered by disabledindividuals.

She creates codified systems of floral huesand engages us – as marketplace flowers do – with colour andform, leaving us to sort out the moral complications for ourselves.JOSE LUIS <strong>TO</strong>RRES Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art,Kelowna, Feb 1-Mar 16 This Argentinian-Canadian artist makessite-specific installations from found and recycled constructionmaterials, “referencing precarious architecture and the notionthat life is a game of survival.” Visitors will encounter the workphysically and experientially, making their way through hisarchitectural space by trial and error, to think about our relationshipwith the built environment and how architecturedirects our movements and behaviours – and differentiates publicfrom private.Dana ClaxtonManabu IkedaPaul Mpagi SepuyaAntonia HirschJosé Luis Torres20 PREVIEW ■ FEBRUARY/MARCH 2013


Vignettes • February/March 2013British ColumbiaROBIN LAuReNCeKELLIE TALBOT: AMERICAN LANDSCAPES Smash Gallery of ModernArt, Vancouver, Feb 1-Mar 2 With a background in graphicdesign, Talbot gained fame and acclaim as art director forSignal Snowboards. This show reveals that she deservesimmediate recognition for her tightly focused, photo-realisticoil paintings. Talbot chooses segments of neon signs, vintagearchitecture, and neglected cemeteries as her subjects,finding hope and beauty in evidence of erosion and decay.American Landscapes is the first Vancouver solo show for thisSeattle-based artist.RAYMOND BOISJOLY Catriona Jeffries Gallery, Vancouver, Feb 28-Apr 6 This exhibition of new work by a fast-rising young artistinvestigates the ways in which diverse cultures and technologiesspeak to each other. Boisjoly scans televised musical performances– including one by Buffy Sainte-Marie – and captures 20 secondsof moving images within one digital print on photographicpaper. Mounted on aluminum, the large-scale works possess acommanding, “almost psychedelic” presence.CAMROSE DUCOTE Elissa Cristall Gallery, Vancouver, Mar 2-30Although she has long been based in Vancouver, Ducote grew upin Colorado, and her art reflects the light and the landscape ofthat place. Applying thin layers of tinted acrylic medium, thensanding the surface down, scraping it off and building it upagain, she creates mixed-media works on panel that are lyricaland inventive. “Chance,” she says, “plays a big role in my work,and I like to be surprised by the results.”Kellie TalbotRaymond BoisjolyCamrose DucoteGRAHAM GILMORE: I LOVE YOU, IN THEORY Touchstones NelsonMuseum of Art and History, Nelson, Mar 2-Jun 9 This showincludes sculpture, mixed-media works, and text-based paintingsselected from this acclaimed artist’s 30-year career. Gilmore’srecent word paintings are notable for using “humour and quickfirewit to counter an undercurrent of loss, cynicism and discontent.”They combine the tropes of drip painting with a darklyfunny spin on popular culture, social trends, and the vernacularlanguage of love.SHUVINAI ASHOONA: MERGED REALITIES Inuit Gallery, Vancouver,Mar 13-Apr 3 Drawing with pen and ink, coloured pencils andmarkers, this Cape Dorset artist has gained recognition for herdepictions of Northern life and her fantastical, sometimes nightmarishimages. Her simple yet eloquent quote, “Sometimes thepencil is stronger than I am,” indicates her unconscious minddirects much of her art making. The drawings reveal life in traditionalInuit hunting camps, her deep Christian faith and an exposureto pop culture.Graham GilmoreShuvinai Ashoonawww.preview-art.com PREVIEW 21

http://grunt.caCal Lane: Gutter Snipes IGRUNT GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Feb 15-Mar 23, 2013 Artist and welder Cal Lane confronts traditionaldichotomies of feminine and masculine by carving ornate botanical and figurative patternsinto steel with a blow torch. Starting with ready-made materials like shovels, oil drums, car parts,dumpsters, wheelbarrows and shippingcontainers, she burns lacy,veil-like patterns into the metalobjects. The results, much like “awrestler in a tutu,” as she puts it,are stunning.Gutter Snipes I was shown atBenrimon Contemporary, NewYork in 2011. The exhibit featuresa 20-foot long, six-foot diametersteel corrugated pipe first cut inhalf and welded together to make a40-foot long half arch, then intricatelycut with fantastic, medievalcreatures in an apocalyptic setting.Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia in1968, Cal Lane grew up in Saanichton,British Columbia and earned aBFA in Painting from Victoria Collegeof Art (1994). She earned aCal Lane, Gutter Snipes I (2011), aluminum-coated steel sewer pipe [grunt gallery,Vancouver BC, Feb 15-Mar 23]second BFA in Sculpture from Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (2001 from her website) andcompleted an MFA in Sculpture from State University of New York (2005).

Conservator’s CornerIron in Paper: Problems and Current Solutions - Part IBY REBECCA PAVITTFINE ART CONSERVATION, www.fineartconserve.comDiscoloration and foxing (scattered dark spots) in paper are some of the most common reasons thatclients bring paper artifacts to a conservator for restoration. These conditions are often cleaned withoxidative bleaches. While such treatments are generally quite effective, if iron is present in the paperoxidative bleaching can actually make thediscoloration worse. Part 1 of this articledescribes the problems that iron cancause in paper; Part 2 will describe somesolutions that are making their way intothe paper conservator’s repertoire.Iron is sometimes, but not always,present in paper. When iron is presentin paper, it can sometimes, but notalways, cause discoloration and foxing.Because iron is a catalyst, traditionaloxidative bleaching methods used byconservators to reduce discolorationSpots on print caused by Fenton Reactioncan, after an incubation period of a fewweeks or months, actually accelerate discoloration,making a bad situationworse. Iron can exist in many forms. As anyone with a car, boat or carbon steel kitchen knife knows,metallic iron (Fe) is not particularly stable; it likes to oxidize into a broad array of black, white,uncoloured and multicoloured compounds, including rust.Iron can exist in more than one oxidation state. The most common oxidation states are Fe(II) inwhich metallic iron has lost two electrons and Fe(III), where metallic iron has lost three electrons.Fe(III) is the least reactive form of iron but both Fe(III) and metallic iron can, under the right environmentalcircumstances, convert to the very reactive Fe(II) form.Iron can be introduced into the paper intentionally, as in the case of inks and other media, or asunintended contaminants. Iron can be found in unpurified wood pulp, the water used to make thepaper, low grade chalk fillers, rosin and papermaker’s alum. Bits of metallic iron that rub togetherand break off from paper-making machines also find their way into paper sheets.Traditional methods of treating discoloured paper include oxidative bleaches that contain or generateperoxides (for example, hydrogen peroxide, sodium perborate and light). Peroxides react withand solublize the damaged and discoloured portions of the cellulose molecule, allowing them to bewashed away. Although these oxidative bleaches can be very effective, Fe(II) can (but not always) catalyzethe peroxides to trigger the dreaded Fenton Reaction. In a few weeks or months, the previouslycleaned paper can become heavily spotted and discoloured. This situation is obviously something tobe avoided, but its occurrence cannot always be predicted.How, then, to avoid such a situation? Is it possible to determine if paper contains iron beforeembarking on oxidative bleaching treatments?There are visual and chemical tests for detecting iron in paper before treatment but, unfortunately,these tests are not foolproof. Iron particles can be hidden deep within the paper sheet; oxidesmay not be concentrated enough to give positive reactions when tested with chemical reagents orthey may be unevenly distributed in the paper sheet, leading to false negative test results.What, then, is the best way to safely reduce discoloration in paper that may contain iron, detectedor not? And once discoloration has been reduced, how can paper be protected from residual ironthat may have been left behind? There are no simple answers to these questions, but my researchover the past year has given me some leads which I will share in the next article.NEXT ISSUE: Iron in Paper: Problems and Current Solutions - Part 232 PREVIEW ■ FEBRUARY/MARCH 2013

Katie Lyle, Untitled (2012), oil on canvas [DelugeContemporary Art Gallery, Victoria BC, Mar 15-Apr 13]www.deluge.wsDrama of Perception: Stephanie Aitken, Katie Lyleand Shelley PenfoldDELUGE CONTEMPORARY ART GALLERY, VIC<strong>TO</strong>RIA BC – Mar 15-Apr 13, 2013 Drama of Perceptionis a three-woman show of recent paintings by StephanieAitken, Katie Lyle and Shelley Penfold, all Vancouverbasedartists. This show is curated by Sandra Meigs, ahighly regarded Canadian painter and AssociateProfessor of Painting at UVic since 1993 where Aitken(1994), Lyle (2010) and Penfold (2009) completed theirgraduate studies.Meigs explains that, “Each of the three artists hasunique processes for constructing her work; painting andrepainting over images of women, rubbing pigment intocanvas underwater, turning paper around and aroundwhile drawing, then painting from the drawing.”Shelley Penfold paints “most of the time in responseto an inner dialogue.” Katie Lyle, awarded an HonourableMention in the 2012 RBC Painting Competition, paintsthe female face, allowing “various references and influencesto come to the surface,” while Stephanie Aitken, thebest known of the three, paints inspired “landscape elements...thatentice yet forbid entry.”Meigs writes, “My mind constructs and reconstructswhat I think I see in the paintings. What appears beforeme is not really what it appears to be. I feel like the paintingsneed me. They breathe into me, not oxygen, but other physical elements of the world…strangeand unusual colours, slippery fields, boundaries and shapes I have not known in the world now enterinto me through my perceptions.” Christine ClarkDarcy Grenier, Leon Popik, DavidRobinson and Clive Tucker, "EvocativaCuriosa", erotica in contemporaryceramics; Mar 7-Apr 1 PottersGuild Members, "Dish it Up"", functionalpottery for serving with flair.Granville Fine Art2447 Granville St ✆604-266-6010www.granvillefineart.comtues-fri 10am-6pm, sat & mon10am-5pm.

COLLECTION: VANCOUVER ART GALLERY / PHO<strong>TO</strong>: TREVOR MILLS, VANCOUVER ART GALLERYwww.vanartgallery.bc.caIan Wallace: At the Intersection of Painting and PhotographyVANCOUVER ART GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Oct 27, 2012-Feb 24, 2013 At the Intersection ofPainting and Photography is a major survey exhibition of the work of Ian Wallace, a significant contemporaryCanadian artist. As an art historian, critic and Emily Carr instructor, Wallace has been influentialin the development of contemporary art practice in Canada since the 1960s.Wallace was among the first in Vancouver to use large-format photography during the 1970s. Heequated photography with cinema, advertisingand history painting, thereby helping to elevateit to its present status. Other Vancouverphoto-conceptual artists of the time includedStan Douglas, Rodney Graham and Jeff Wall.Two important themes in Wallace’s workwere the studio, which he presents as a site ofcontemplation and production, and the street, asource of documentary information. Wallaceoften juxtaposes his photographic images nextto painted panels to heighten the contrast ofvisual information. In the 1970s and 80s, heIan Wallace, detail of Lookout (1979), 12 hand-coloured silvergelatin prints [Vancouver Art Gallery, Vancouver BC, Oct 27-Feb 24]produced several monumental staged works.Throughout, he has been interested in howconcepts are transmitted via the pictorial, andhow photography superceded painting andillustration during the 20th century for the mass distribution of concepts.A fully-illustrated, 352-page catalogue accompanying the exhibit has been organized in sectionsthat mirror the motifs present throughout Wallace’s work.

Carrie Mae Weems:Three Decades of Photography and VideoPORTLAND ART MUSEUM, PORTLAND OR – Feb 2-May19,2013 This museum retrospective traces the photographybasedartwork of Carrie Mae Weems, a seminal artist who isrecognized internationally for voicing a cultural dialoguearound subjects of race, gender and identity.Weems was born and raised in Portland, Oregon in 1953.In the 1970s she moved to San Francisco to study dance andalso received her first camera as a gift. Photography became anatural way for Weems to position herself as both spectatorand subject as she moved through the world as an African-American woman exposing personal observations, hiddenhistories and marginalized cultures. The artist often poses inher own works as a stand-in symbolizing a larger dynamicabout the minority experience within the mainstream contextsof history, politics and class structure.Weems’ style is both documentary and constructed,pushing the boundaries of a photographic image to tell storiesand put forth a poignant message. A stellar example isher Kitchen Table Series (1990) where Weems positions herselfas a central figure in a seemingly simple setting. With astraightforward perspective, these vignettes expose a truthfulnarrative surrounding domesticity, women’s roles and themultifaceted relationships inherent in family life.In some instances Weems also combines text and imageto further manipulate meaning with wit and complexity. Notwww.portlandartmuseum.orgCarrie Mae Weems, Not Manet's Type [detail](1997), five pigment ink prints [Portland ArtMuseum, Portland OR, Feb 2-May 19]Manet’s Type (1997) is a series of voyeuristic images shot looking into a mirror; in one frame we see anintimate bedroom scene of a woman who ironically reflects upon the life of artist’s models, “…Imaginemy fate had De Kooning gotten hold of me.”This comprehensive exhibit also includes some of Weems’ most groundbreaking work like Ain’tJokin (1987-88) where portraits of different African-American people are cast with racial slurs andstereotypes as a means to raise awareness and redirect power.

Practical Art History orConfessions of a Fine Art AppraiserChapter 35. The Case of Jasper Johns’ Figure 1I recently purchased a 16 x 12½ inch framed photo-mechanical reproduction of Figure 1 at a localthrift store for $4.99. My reproduction of Figure 1 is from Johns’ celebrated colour lithographseries 0 through 9. He also did the same series as lithographs using black ink only.Johns’ image has some striking resemblances to a photograph of the January 1968 crash site of aUnited States Air Force B-52 Stratofortress. The crashoccurred 7.5 miles west of Thule Air Base, Greenlandwhile the B-52 bomber aircraft was on a Cold Waralert mission over Baffin Bay. Alert missions were aCold War deterrent against Soviet attack and involvedB-52 bombers with nuclear payloads in the air for 24hours a day. Johns may have seen a photograph of thecrash site and used it as a basis for his image.In Figure 1, part of a sheet of newspaper from theWashington Post circa 1968 has been incorporated intothe lithograph. Most of the page from the newspaperhas been overinked; however, the full text of an articleentitled The Recall to Reality by Joseph Alsop (reprintedin The Watertown Daily Times, Friday August 2,1968) is visible, just to the left of the figure. Alsop’s articlesuggests that the militarymight of AmericaJasper Johns, Figure 1 (1969), lithograph, 37 3 ⁄4 x 31 in.needed to be vigorouslymaintained to serve as abulwark against the spreadof the Soviet empire. He vilifies the aggressive stance taken by theSoviet-controlled Eastern Bloc and warns of the potential for nuclearcatastrophe.The visual references to a rocket launch and inter-continental ballisticmissile are clearly suggested by Figure 1. The imagery symbolizesthe Cold War reality of military aggression, the space race and thefear of communism by overtly framing Cold War anxiety in terms of anuclear catastrophe.As for Johns’ legacy, in 2009, some forty years after the creation ofFigure 1, a signed and numbered lithograph from this edition sold for$18,750 at a Sotheby’s New York sale, including buyer’s premium.Since 1987 only six images from the 1969 edition have came upfor auction and prices have remained relatively constant at around$18,000.The first online recorded sale on the secondary market occurredat Sotheby’s New York in 1990, just a few months after the Berlin Wall came down, soon afterRonald Reagan’s admonition to the Soviet Union to "tear down this wall"; thus in a very real senseproclaiming the official end to the Cold War.It is interesting to note that continued and robust sales of this artwork may serve as a testamentto the “triumph of capitalism” both in political terms and consumer economy.Next Issue.

www.tacomaartmuseum.orgMemories and Meditations:A Retrospective of Michael Kenna’s PhotographyTACOMA ART MUSEUM, TACOMA WA – Oct 6, 2012-Mar 24, 2013 Michael Kenna is one of the mostwell-known photographers in Seattle. The British-born artist has travelled extensively throughout theworld to capture his sensitive imagery. This first US retrospective in close to 20 years chronicles Kenna’sinternationally recognized projects from places likeChina, Japan and Easter Island, while also presenting asmall selection of earlier works from the 1970s and ‘80s.Kenna’s classic images infuse a poetic stillness intovarious landscapes and architectural subjects. His refinedstyle of rich contrast and smooth grey tones is achievedwith traditional, non-digital handcrafted printing. Lightand dark are often distilled into essential elements, causingone to look further into stark compositions to gainperspective about subject or locale. Although many ofKenna’s images seem stark or sombre, it is this quietudethat makes his pieces so evocative.Kenna often revisits the same locale several timesover many years to further his spiritual connection tothe landscape, capturing the essence of slow subtlechange that is an undeniable part of life. Close to 100black and white photographs will be shown in this twopartexhibition. Part one mostly encompasses Kenna’swork from Asia, as well as some architectural scenesMichael Kenna, Quixote’s Giants, Study 1,Campo deCriptana, Spain (1996), sepia-toned gelatin silver print[Tacoma Art Museum, Tacoma WA, Oct 6-Mar 24]from Europe.

www.xchangesgallery.orgConnie Morey: Ba_ble: inarticulations onhuman-animal relationsXCHANGES GALLERY, VIC<strong>TO</strong>RIA BC – Feb 1-24, 2013 Connie Morey, a PhD student in Education inArt (ABD) and sessional instructor of art at University of Victoria, has participated in exhibitions inCanada, Malaysia and Thailand and is currentlypresenting her subtle but thoughtprovokingseries addressing the relationshipbetween humans and animals. As aninterdisciplinary artist, Morey draws onphilosophy, theory and her own studioexplorations to develop delicate works inceramics, made and found sculpture, photography,collage and drawing.Her studio work serves as a poeticinterpretation of her rigorous post-graduatestudies, which she describes primarilyas an interest in an “ecological sense ofimagination.” Ideas of ownership are centralto the theme of Ba_ble: inarticulationson human-animal relations, beginning withhuman ownership of other animals. EvenConnie Morey, Dysphonia (Mouth Stuffed Full) (2011-12), clay slip, glaze,graphite and fur [Xchanges Gallery, Victoria BC, Feb 1-24]more probing are the questions Morey asks about ownership of intelligence and imagination; qualitiesclosely related to and often evaluated on the basis of communication and culture. This show queriesassumptions and behaviours that can develop through a lack of understanding.Morey's animals include sheep, birds and humans. The tone of the show ranges from the playfulto the horrific; there are sweet pastel sheep with speech bubbles overhead and there are human headswith their mouths stuffed full of fur. The relationship between the works is complex, intriguing andhighly evocative.

www.willamette.edu/museum_of_artManuel Izquierdo: Myth, Nature, and RenewalHALLIE FORD MUSEUM OF ART, SALEM, OR – Jan 19-Mar 24, 2013 The late Manuel Izquierdo, influentialsculptor, printmaker and teacher, had a significant career that spanned six decades. The multi-talentedartist was born in Madrid, Spain in 1925, and became a wartime refugee during his teens, fleeingto America with his two siblings in 1942. After a year in New York, they relocated to Portlandwhere Izquierdo studied and taught at the Museum Art School (now Pacific Northwest College of Art).Early on he met well-known artists like Louis Bunce and Frederick Littman, developing his own personalstyle amidst the regional backdrop of mid-centurymodernism.Establishing himself as a prominent figure in Portland’sart community, Izquierdo was a Northwest pioneerof welded metal sculpture and an accomplishedprintmaker, producing mainly woodcuts in a somewhatnarrative style. Izquierdo’s sculptures – characterizedby biomorphic forms that shift between semblances ofhuman, plant and mythological subjects – have anunderlying quality of surrealism that invites thoughtfuldialogue. His dynamic and lyrical forms are playfullyorganic yet grounded in their clean, crafted shapes andthe smooth polished surfaces that distinguish hisbronze pieces.This exhibit features about 50 sculptures drawnfrom regional collections. Some of the highlightsinclude welded steel works from the mid-1960s, likeManuel Izquierdo, Running Man (c. 1963), welded steel[Hallie Ford Museum of Art, Salem OR, Jan 19-Mar 24]Running Man, that recall the cubist efforts of GeorgesBraque in their gentle leanings toward geometricabstraction.The Hallie Ford Museum is also hosting two complementaryexhibits featuring Izquierdo’s works on paper as well as his maquettes and small sculptures,some of which served as a launching point for his better-known larger works.

The tableaux-stylepaintings – riveting in their implied tales of destruction and survival,fear and hope – provoke a range of poignant contemporaryissues to surface. Miller’s portrayals of desolate landscapes and figuresset in the aftermath of explosive situations bring to mindhumanity’s impending environmental impact, articulated with analarming beauty.KELLY RAUER: WEIGHT & SAMANTHA WALL: LAID <strong>TO</strong> REST The ArtGym, Marylhurst, Jan 13-Feb 15 Both Kelly Rauer and SamanthaWall focus on a single female figure to explore the emotionalunderpinnings of gesture in concurrent exhibitions at The ArtGym. Rauer’s multi-channel video piece of herself dancing in aspare setting emphasizes the possibilities and limitations of bodymechanics. Wall, who was born in Seoul, South Korea, also usesvideo as the source imagery for six provocative drawings that considerthe complex cultural expectations of biracial children and thestruggles of self.JUDY COOKE: SUBTEXT Elizabeth Leach Gallery, Portland, Feb 7-Mar 2Judy Cooke, a well-known Portland artist, has continually demonstrateda commitment toward abstraction, the expressive quality ofa line, and a continued inquisitive approach to painting. This newseries is based on the idea of “provisional painting” that allows theartist to explore new possibilities within moments that arise duringthe creation process. Her pared down compositions employ boldshapes and a punctuated use of colour on her often custom-shapedpanels.DANNY LYON: THE BIKERIDERS Charles A. Hartman Fine Art, Portland,Jan 29-Mar 16 This celebrated series chronicles the Chicago Outlawsmotorcycle club from 1963-67. Danny Lyon, who was a memberof the group and shot their daily activities from his motorcycle,is an important photographer and filmmaker who came of age inthe 1960s. The nostalgic images from this landmark series werepublished in a 1968 book, The Bikeriders, which launched Lyon’scareer and brought motorcycle counter-culture to mainstreamAmerica.STEVE TILDEN: SOFT MACHINES Blackfish Gallery, Portland, Feb 5-Mar 2Steve Tilden’s newest sculptures expand upon his ongoing use ofvarious material to create amorphous forms with conceptual leanings.Soft Machines was specifically inspired by Lee Bontecou’sinnovative early work. Tilden uses steel frames covered withstretched fabric as the basis. The distressed surfaces include charcoaland acrylic, rough stitching and a soaked shellac finish, whichobscures the material’s origin. Part mechanistic and part organic,these abstract pieces leave room for imagined uses or suggestedidentities.Michael Paul MillerSamantha WallJudy CookeDanny LyonSteve Tildenwww.preview-art.com PREVIEW 63

Healso conducted interviews with each artist about their influences,backgrounds and connection to the Northwest as part of the project.Along with Calderón’s straightforward portraiture, the insightfulartists’ narratives and inclusion of their own work in the exhibitionreveals a telling cross-section of the regional contemporary art scenesince roughly the 1960s.CHICANITAS: SMALL PAINTINGS FROM THE CHEECH MARIN COLLEC-TION {SIZE DOESN’T MATTER} Whatcom Museum, Bellingham, Jan 12-Mar 24 The actor Cheech Marin has developed a significant collectionrepresenting the Chicano art movement of the 1960s and 70s. Chicanitasfocuses on his more recent endeavour of collecting works that resonateon a personal level – portraits, landscapes, abstract and photorealisticpaintings less than 16 inches in size. Marin’s perspective onsmall artwork is one of warmth and intimacy, as the accessible scalemakes them easy to place in the home and experience on a daily basis.PAT DE CARO: PARALLEL LANDSCAPE Francine Seders Gallery, Seattle,Feb 1-Mar 3 Memories of childhood experiences are a central theme inPat De Caro’s moody charcoal drawings. Beautifully rendered in anexpressive style, the artist utilizes a child’s point of view and metaphoricalsettings to invoke emotions, and although often ambivalent, thehonesty present in the innocence of youth can be considered universal.A lone girl set in a dark forest conjures mixed feelings of childhoodfear and discovery that eventually shape one’s adult self.Eduardo CalderónAna Teresa FernandezPat De CaroJOANN VERBURG: MID-CAREER SURVEY G.

COLLECTION OF KAMM TEAPOT FOUNDATION - SONNY AND GLORIA KAMM / PHO<strong>TO</strong>: KEN ROWEwww.bellevuearts.orgBAM Biennial 2012: High Fiber DietBELLEVUE ARTS MUSEUM, BELLEVUE WA – Oct 25, 2012-Feb 24, 2013 This second edition of BellevueArts Museum’s Biennial focuses on the medium of fibre. The 44 artists of High Fiber Diet explorea wide range of methods, materials and meaning. The exhibit runs the gamut from pieces that payhomage to craft traditions – like Polly Adams Sutton’s asymmetrical baskets made of western redcedar bark – to conceptually-based pieces thatmight only hint at fibre art practices – like AmandaManitach’s video of her embroidering a lamb’stongue in glitzy glass beads over the course ofthree days.Well-known artists like Margie Livingston,Sherry Markovitz and Lou Cabeen have a presencein this show, yet unexpected surprises likeOh Eleanor by Jan Hopkins, a teapot womanwhose meticulously articulated skin is made fromgrapefruit and cantaloupe peel, seed pods andother organic matter, are perhaps the mostintriguing.Many pieces are grounded by the theme ofnature, using materials often specific to theartist’s region, such as embroidered lichen patterns,elk bones and shotgun shells enveloped insoft wool, and formal woven studies of nativeNorthwest tree bark.Jan Hopkins, Oh Eleanor (2012), grapefruit peel, cantaloupepeel, ginkgo leaves, ostrich shell beads, hydrangea petals, lunariaseed pods, cedar bark and waxed linen [Bellevue Arts Museum,Bellevue WA, Oct 25-Feb 24]Familiar materials comprise some of the“warmest” works in this exhibit like NateSteigenga’s allegorical world made of collaged bedsheets or Luke Haynes’ photo-inspired quiltsmade from repurposed clothing. Similarly, DavidChatt’s sentimental piece, where the belongingsfrom his late father’s bedside table are painstakingly covered in tiny white stitched beads, gives a senseof emotional worth by capturing the objects as timeless and unforgotten.Several large-scale installations like Tamara Wilson’s recreation of her studio environment in lifesizefelt – complete with the quirky reality of coffee-ring stained paper and a cinder block holding upthe table – also invite viewers to experience a very personal space in a familiar way. Allyn Cantoroffer a perspective on how artistsdeal with art making when theybroach intangible concepts andmaterial (or lack thereof).★ Lisa Harris Gallery1922 Pike Place ✆206-443-3315www.lisaharrisgallery.common-sat 10:30am-5:30pm sun11am-4pm.
