Graeme Patterson: WoodrowART GALLERY OF GREATER VICTORIA, VICTORIA BC – Mar 14-May 11 Woodrow is a 1:10 scale re-creationof a tiny town in rural Saskatchewan. With a population of fewer than 10 people, most of themain architectural structures in Woodrow are abandoned, and it is on the brink of becoming a ghosttown. Woodrow is also artist Graeme Patterson's home town, and where he currently resides andworks.The complex multimedia installation includes scale models of buildings and the use of animatedand kinetic machinery, stop-motion animation, electronics and audio to bring the set to life. Includedare the town's grain elevator, church, hockey arena,a barn, a machine shop and studio, a house and a setof grain bins. Romanticised memories of his family'sfarm inspired the moving images and audio that lightand animate the scene. Images of animals and peopleproject from within the barn, kinetic machinery canbe heard in the grain elevator, a lathe and millingmachine run in the shop, robotic pests make appearances,the heads and eyes of a group of deer are animatedby motion detectors and a 24-hour time lapseloop of a prairie vista extends the sculptural road inthe set.Patterson earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts InterdisciplinaryDegree at the Nova Scotia College of Art andDesign in 2002.

90’spreviewwww.newzones.comWilliam Perehudoff: 60’s toNEWZONES GALLERY OF CONTEMPORARY ART, CALGARY AB – Mar 8-Apr 5 Born in 1919, WilliamPerehudoff is a senior Canadian abstract artist who has been painting for five decades. 60's-90's is asolo exhibition of historically important works painted between the 1960sand the 1990s. In 1993, Nancy Tousley described his style as “…a space inwhich a dialogue among forms gives rise to feeling.”Paintings from the 60s are of particular interest as they reflect moststrongly the creative inspiration of the Emma Lake Artists' Workshops in the1950s and 1960s. Perehudoff participated in workshops attended by WillBarnet (1957), Herman Cherry (1961), Clement Greenberg (1962), KennethNoland (1983) and Donald Judd (1968).In subsequent decades, Perehudoff continued to develop his sense ofform, composition and colour – all key elements of his work. Although he isoften cited as a Colour Field painter, his imagery has actually evolved fromCubist-derived geometry in the 1960s and 1970s, through painterly applicationsin the 1980s, to complex compositions stimulated by his Doukhaborheritage in the 1990s. His work has been widely exhibited in Canada withmuseum shows at the Saskatoon's Mendel Art Gallery, The Edmonton ArtGallery and the Glenbow Art Gallery in Calgary, as well as shows in commercialart galleries across the country. His paintings are in private and publiccollections in Canada, the U.S. and Europe.In 1988, Perehudoff became a workshop leader at Emma Lake. In 1999,he received the Order of Canada in recognition of his outstanding artisticachievements and for his ongoing contributions to Canadian art. In 2003, hereceived an Honorary Doctorate degree from the University of Regina. Perehudoffhas been married to Dorothy Knowles, a prominent Canadian landscapepainter, since 1952.

Motetpreviewwww.arts.surrey.caJanet Cardiff: Forty-PartSURREY ART GALLERY, SURREY BC – through Mar 23 Janet Cardiff is a Canadian installation artistwho studied at Queen's University and at the University of Alberta. She works in collaborationwith her partner George Bures Miller. Cardiff and Miller currently live and work in Berlin. Cardiffrepresented Canada at the São Paulo Art Biennial(1998), and with Miller at the 6th IstanbulBiennial (1999) and the 49th Venice Biennale(2001). They were the first Canadians to winthe Special Award at the Venice Biennale.Forty-Part Motet is a sublimely beautifulsound installation Cardiff created in 2001. Thesculpturally-conceived sound artwork was previouslyshown (and heard) at the Museum ofModern Art, New York and the Tate Gallery,London. The Surrey Art Gallery hosts the firstJanet Cardiff, Forty-Part Motet (2001), 40-track audio installation,14 minutes in duration [Surrey Art Gallery, Surrey BC, throughMar 23]exhibition of this work in British Columbia.Cardiff began by recording 40 individualmembers of the Salisbury Cathedral Choir performingSpem in Alium by 16th century Englishcomposer Thomas Tallis. The composition is considered to be one of the most complex pieces ofpolyphonic choral music ever written. Cardiff then edited a 14-minute loop with 11 minutes ofmusic and a 3-minute intermission, which is then delivered through 40 speakers arranged in 8groupings. Each speaker plays a recording of one voice singing and the audience is invited to walkthrough the space and "sample" individual voices of the polyphonic vocal music.Forty-Part Motet is a realization of Cardiff's vision to "climb inside" music and to hear it fromevery angle and not from just one passive position afforded by a theatre seat. She writes: “I am alsointerested in how sound may construct a space in a sculptural way and how the audience maychoose a path through this physical yet virtual space.” The exhibition is one of the featured eventsco-presented by the Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad.

GALLERY VIEWSBY ANN ROSENBERGIf you can’t visit the AGGV in person, check it out in CyberspaceWestbank Projects Corporation's revised proposal to include new premises for the Art Galleryof Greater Victoria within the Crystal Court condominium complex (near The FairmontEmpress Hotel), was regretfully declined by the AGGV. In a November 2007 press release,AGGV board president, Peter Maddaugh, stated that the Gallery, as redesigned, would nothave been “the stand-alone facility that the institution deemed essential.” In a telephoneinterview, Shirley Madill (AGGV Director/CEO) said that “…the search for an ideal Downtownlocation will go on.”Although a long-time Vancouver resident, I confess that, despite knowing of the importanceof certain aspects of the collection, I have seldom visited the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria.Now that I no longer have a car, getting to 1040 Moss Street on foot or by bus, would beimpossible on a one-day excursion. If the AGGV was as conveniently located as is the RoyalMuseum of B.C., the Gallery profilewould be greatly enhanced and visitingit would be much easier.I suspect that few people in theprovince know that this 57-year-oldinstitution has a collection of some1,700 works, which is almost twice thatof the Vancouver Art Gallery. TheAGGV has impressive holdings in thearea of Asian art, and their AsianGarden features North America's onlyauthentic Shinto shrine. The Galleryopened in the 1889 Spencer Mansionwhen the mansion along withextensive grounds, was gifted to thecity in 1951. The seven moderngalleries added in 1955 and 1978, were subsequently renovated from 2001-2003 to bring theAGGV up to international museum standards.When visiting any gallery, one only sees the tip of the collection iceberg, as what is instorage, is often always in storage. If an institution boasts of its strength in, for example, Asianart, one would like to see enough examples to have that claim validated. Similarly, if there is adeclaration of an on-going interest in the acquisition of contemporary Canadian art, it would begood to have substantive proof of that statement.In addition to having access to a very well-designed, complex, information-filled site whenGoogling the Gallery's whole name (or by entering: www.aggv.bc.ca), one comes upon quite asurprise. During the last four years, the AGGV has been building a Web production that alreadycontains over 15,000 images with documents pertaining to its collection that are yours tobrowse through when you click on ARTBase.The site still contains many visual blanks (probably because the institution is still workingon the necessary photography) and there are quite a few images which cannot be shownbecause of copyright reasons. All titles, dates, etc., are indicated to allow the searcher to learn agood deal of useful information about the works and about the blend of art pieces in thecollection. The Asian holdings (which I've always been very curious about) are “virtually” (ifyou'll pardon the pun) manifested in ARTBase. Through this tool, a substantial chunk of the ArtGallery of Greater Victoria's acquisitions iceberg, is revealed.Ann Rosenberg is a Vancouver-based freelance curator, critic and author.The Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, at 1040 Moss Street in Victoria24 PREVIEW

Colleen Flynn-Lawson: Indra's NetJENNIFER KOSTUIK GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Feb 21-Mar 16 Colleen Flynn-Lawson has beenexhibiting in Canada, California, and on the East Coast since becoming a full-time artist in 2000.As a self-taught painter, she has developed techniques with multiple layers of paint and acrylicmedia that are scraped and molded. A great deal is left to chance as the watery media settles inunexpected patterns and shapes.Taking as her theme the cyclical nature of existence,the Los Angeles-based artist creates panel paintingsdepicting small organisms floating within washesof colour and disintegrating structures. Vertical panels,as tall as 54 inches, present organic shapes like snails,leaves, flowers and plankton falling through wateryspace and bubbling up again like lava lamps or AuroraBorealis.Indra's Net is her third solo exhibition at JenniferKostiuk in Vancouver. The new series of paintingsshows a broader perspective than found in previouswork which explored moments of transformation inpreviewwww.kostuikgallery.comColleen Flynn-Lawson, Aadi Grid #1 [detail] (2006),acrylic on panel [Jennifer Kostuik Gallery, Vancouver BC,Feb 21-Mar 16]minute life forms. The title refers to the mythological Buddhist structure that infinitely stretchesacross the universe and connects all life forms. Taking Indra's Net as a metaphor, Flynn-Lawsonseeks to capture an impression of the flow and flux of life as both an interconnected force and aninterdependent evolution. Titles of individual works employ Sanskrit names like Niranjana, Bhogini,Pratistha and Viviktastha that reflect theories of transformation, body-mind harmony, purity andcore concepts of non-attachment in a universe in motion.

The recently expanded Seattle Art Museum will be the only westcoast venueon a three-museum tour of the United States to host the exhibition.Tracing the period from the late first century BCE to the fourth centuryCE, Roman Art from the Louvre, provides a broad view ofancient Rome is examined, from the elite lives of the emperor andhis court to the lives of ordinary citizens, soldiers, gladiators, slavesand foreigners. Approximately 180 original works spanning nearly300 years of antiquity is presented thematically through frescoes,mosaics, monumental sculptures, terra-cotta statuettes, and marblereliefs. Included in this collection are statues of emperors Augustus,Caligula, Trajan and Marcus Aurelius as well as busts of otherprominent Romans such as Agrippa and Livia.The show emphasizes the varied roles that Roman art played in theBust of a Young Gaul (ca. 200 BCE)Fine-grained marble, Roman [Seattle ArtMuseum, Seattle WA, Feb 21-May 11]previewwww.seattleartmuseum.orgpost-Classical period and its continued influence on art today.Aspects of everyday Roman life in both the public and private arenasare represented by everyday objects such as glass vases, silverimplements, gold jewelry and other household items found at Pompeiiand Herculaneum. Themes of religion, urbanism, war, imperialexpansion, funerary practices, intellectual life, and family areconveyed through urns, sarcophagi, ritual objects, military medallions and iconographic statues ofIsis, Venus, Minerva and Bacchu. Early depictions of circus games, portraits of actors, and theatricalmasks provide insight into multiple areas of Roman culture. The exhibit also focuses on waysthe Romans celebrated the dead.The exhibition will close with ancient statues that have been repeatedly repaired and alteredsince the Renaissance, reflecting both the importance of Roman art and the way in which it hasbeen collected, interpreted, and restored over the centuries.

Bill Featherston: New World OrderTHE ART GALLERY OF THE SOUTH OKANAGAN, PENTICTON BC – through Mar 9 At 80 years of age,British Columbia painter Bill Featherston may best be remembered by a generation of artists for hisdominating personality and brusque critiques at the Vancouver Art School in the years before it wasrenamed Emily Carr College. Never one to hold back, Featherston's straight-forward criticisminspired artists like Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun,Laurie Papou, Attila Richard Lukacs, Derek Root,Angela Grossmann and Graham Gillmore.Featherston's own art is equally guileless andpointed. Since moving to the West Coast in 1971,his large-scale figurative paintings have documentedthe social concerns of working-classheroes and characters that populate his smalltownB.C. community.Recent work depends on political satire of“imperialist and corporate forces.” In New WorldOrder, a group of images of public spectaclesBill Featherston, Condi Plays, Lebanon Ablaze, mixed media onboard [Art Gallery of the South Okanagan, Penticton BC, throughMar 9]previewwww.galleries.bc.ca/agso/combine contemporary issues with references topaintings by Magritte, Ingres and Rousseau. Withgrand themes like Ozymandius and the burningof Nero's Rome, he places controversial 20th centuryfigures like Harvey Milk and Condoleezza Rice in art historical settings. His accusatory satires arewell-aimed at the viewer's discomfort. These are shown together with a series of self-portraits thatdocument Featherston's ongoing interest in composition, colour, style and in materials.

They are described as giving an overviewof “the new artistic thinking of our time andplace.”Many of the artists included in eXponentialFuture are lens-based, and all are highly critical.Photographer Alex Morrison states, “It's just asnapshot of what we think is important in Vancouverright now.” Scott Watson describes theAlthea Thauberger, Zivildienst =≠ Kunstprojekt (Social Service =≠Art Project (2006), collaborative video, production still [Morris andHelen Belkin Art Gallery, Vancouver BC, through Apr 27]previewwww.belkin.ubc.cashow as "an ongoing engagement with largerideas about the future, nature, technology, andcommunication"; that is, works that address thecomplexities of urban life at the beginning of the21st century.

Practical Art History orConfessions of a Fine Art AppraiserChapter 13. The Case of Wyland’s Whales on WallsI had been engaged by the building and mural's owner to appraise the artwork as demolitionof the building was being considered as part of an urban renewal project. The owner was alsoconsidering relocating the mural or incorporating it into the new redevelopment proposal,however, reaction to the wall's (and mural's) possible demise was mixed. Some pondered, 'I'mnot so impressed with it as a piece of art. It's just a way to cover a wall', while othersfumed,'…. you don't burn books. Art is sacred'. Still others quipped, 'it's just another piece ofadvertising indirectly enhancing their(business) profit margins'.The mural was a 1984 gift to the cityfrom Californian marine artist (Robert)Wyland and the Sea ShepherdConservation Society. It depicts amother grey whale and her calf, alongwith a male escort, passing White Rockon their annual migration betweenMexico and the Bering Sea.Initially the mural had beenproposed for the Canadian BroadcastingCorporation building in Vancouver BC(the CBC graciously declined), and dueto the tenacious efforts of the City ofWhite Rock's planner, the project wasre-located to the City of White Rock.The Bank of B.C. which owned thebuilding in 1984, was understandably hesitant about being associated with Wyland's WhalingWall. Then, on the day of the unveiling, Bank Spokesman Gerrard O'Keefe indicated that atfirst the Bank was a little skeptical, but was 'tickled pink' to be part of it.Unfortunately, since the unveiling, the mural has been the cause of at least one recorded motorvehicle accident when a young lady caught by the beauty of the whales, looked for a second toolong. She wandered slightly in her lane, hit the concrete abutment, and wrecked her car.There were those who claimed comparisons to billboard advertising saying that 'If your whaleswere tuna, your mural would only be a few words away from an ad for Starkist'. Still other dissentingvoices claimed hucksterism and megalomania. The artist was portrayed as a 'transient illustrator withsome time to kill and a truckload of free paint', and others pined, 'An unhampered view, a few trees,even an unadorned block wall would be better than this assault on our sensibilities'.Wyland created the mural over a period of three weeks beginning around September 5,1984. The official unveiling took place on September 29 and was attended by Wyland,Wyland's mother, Paul Watson (founder and President of the Sea Shepherd ConservationSociety), Gordon Hogg (Mayor of White Rock), and others. Approximately $2,000 wasdonated by Cloverdale Paint and Chemicals Ltd., and the Ocean Beach Hotel providedaccommodation for Wyland whose meals were donated by local restaurants.Wyland, who donated his time free of charge, worked with one assistant and from time totime, with local volunteers. A plaque was positioned across the street from the muralindicating that the mural was a ‘gift’ from Wyland and the Sea Shepherd Conservation Societyto the City of White Rock.Next issue: The Case of being, under the table with Thomas AnfieldBY JIM FINLAYFINLAY FINE ARTWEALTH MANAGEMENTjim_finlay@telus.netMural, part of The Orcas of Puget Sound Series, acrylic paint oncementicious ground on concrete block, image size approximately9 × 14 metres, signed Wyland 84, left lower centre52 PREVIEW

Conservator’s CornerFor the Artist: Testing Your MaterialsBY REBECCA PAVITTCONSERV1@TELUS.NETPoor old Rabo Karabekian. He was the abstract expressionist in Vonnegut’s Bluebeard who lost fame,fortune and his place in the annals of art history because the paint he used fell off his canvases:“The whole planet is now fubar with post war miracles but back in the early 1960’s I was one ofthe first persons to be totally wrecked by one – an acrylic wall paint whose colors, according to theadvertisements of the day, would….outlive the smile on the Mona Lisa.”The name of the paint was Sateen-Dura Luxe.Mona Lisa is still smiling. And your local paint dealer,if he has been in business for any length of time, willlaugh in your face if you ask for Sateen-Dura Luxe.”†These days most manufacturers go to great lengthsto test, standardize, and provide technical informationabout their materials, but there will be times when theartist will want to test the materials they usethemselves. One way to do this with a minimum offuss and bother is the Oddy Test.Andrew Oddy, former Keeper of Conservation atthe British Museum, came up with this “quick anddirty” method to determine the stability of displaymaterials. The suspect material (e.g. fibreboard, carpet,paper, etc.) is put in a sealed container with a small amount of distilled water and clean samples ofsilver, copper and lead, metals which are highly sensitive to potentially harmful volatiles such assulpher, acid and aldehydes. The sealed sample is heated to 60 degrees Centigrade for 28 days, afterwhich the metals are examined for changes in appearance – e.g., silver tarnish, copper corrosion suchas verdigris, or white deposits on lead.This is the standard test, but variations can certainly be made. The sealed container can be heatedwith a desk lamp, or on a heating pad, instead of in an oven, and if change to the metals is seen before28 days, one doesn’t have to keep the experiment running full term. The idea is to get a generalpicture, not a precise measurement.This test can be used “as is” to see if the artist’s material itself emits self-damaging volatiles. It canalso be used as a rough and ready accelerated aging chamber. In this case the artist’s material issubstituted for the metals and bits of display or framing materials added to the jar. (One might want toadd a few drops of ethanol to the water to prevent organic materials from molding). Or, one couldexpose the artist’s material to agents that are known to emit harmful volatiles (e.g. rubber to emitsulphur, white vinegar for acetic acid, etc.) to see how well the material, or protective coating on thematerial would hold up under adverse conditions. Organics like paper don’t show damage as readily asthe metal samples, so it might be necessary to extend the experimental time.This is just one of the tests that artists can run to get a small peek at what the future might hold fortheir creations. They are not gold standard analytic tests, but they will help give artists greater insightinto the materials they use and how they interact with the environments they are put into.More on Oddy Test:http://www.metmuseum.org/works_of_Art/objects_conservation/spring_2003/oddy.asphttp://www.vam.ac.uk/res_cons/conservation/journal/number_43/corrosiveness/index.htmlMore on other simple tests:http://iaq.dk/papers/tests.htm#oddy† http://www.scribd.com/doc/41452/Kurt-Vonnegut-Bluebeard (p. 14)Conservator’s Corner articles are archived on-line at: www.preview-art.com.NEXT ISSUE: Malaspina murals – an update.Distilled water, silver, copper and lead, the materials usedin an Oddy Test54 PREVIEW

COLLECTION: COLLECTION OF JORDAN D. SCHNITZER, PORTLANDpreviewwww.willamette.edu/museum_of_art/James Lavadour: The Properties of PaintHALLIE FORD MUSEUM OF ART, SALEM OR – Feb 2-Mar 30James Lavadour is an Eastern Oregon native and a self-taught artist who grew up on the UmatillaIndian Reservation. His grid-based paintings capture the craggy masses of the mountainousregion where he has lived most of his life. This exhibitionrepresents an eight year culmination of Lavadour'slandscapes which are exhibited in combination with hislesser-known architectural structures.His surreal articulation of the region is grounded in thepotent enigmatic forces of geological occurrences. Thekinetic act of painting is first and foremost in Lavadour'sworks, which in essence are formal abstractions wheregestural delineations are balanced amongst broodingtones and rich colourations moving between contrastsJames Lavadour, Deep Moon (2004), oil on wood, 9panels [Hallie Ford Museum of Art, Salem OR, Feb 2-Mar 30]of light and dark, sharp edges and soft focus. His energeticswipes of paint are layered then removed in a physicalmanner analogous to the sedimentary accretion anderosion that shaped the canyons and cliffs of his homeland.He seeks to embrace "the raw terror that exists inthe natural world" with a heightened tension, andembody it within spontaneously painted surfaces.Combining small, separately painted panels in grid-like arrangements, Lavadour's pieces oftenpresent multiple views of dynamic vistas that alternate between ghostly shapes and changingpanoramas. Some compositions imply atmospheric skies and voluminous forms throughLavadour's expressionistic method of applying paint. Panels shift between saturated colours thatexaggerate the moody terrain, and foreboding washes with earthier tones.

GALLERY JONES, VANCOUVER BC – Feb 6-Mar 1 Since the mid-1960s, North Shore multimedia artist Pierre Coupey has been interestedin the language of painting in relation to fiction and poetry, tothe point where he has been described as "a painter with words".His work (writing, printmaking and painting) has received numerousawards, grants and commissions, and is represented in private,corporate and public collections in Canada and abroad.Counterpoint: Recent Work began in 2006 and was triggered bythe artist's deep dismay at that summer's bombing of Lebanon andthe related violence in Israel, Palestine, Afghanistan and Iraq. Hisimprovisational paintings have subsequently dealt with themes fromthe American "war on terror": the deaths of civilians, the secret prisons,the practice of torture, and the American invasion and occupationof Iraq.Pierre Coupey was born in Montreal in 1942. He earned a BA atMcGill University and an MA at the University of British Columbia.He was a founding co-editor of The Georgia Straight in 1967 and in1971 was the founding editor of The Capilano Review.

Camrose DucoteATELIER GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Mar 6-30 Vancouver artist Camrose Ducote explains her paintingsas an "ongoing preoccupation with the transient nature of life". Her working process of spacklingpaint, sanding it, applying layers of acrylic wash and then rubbing away marks in the surface, imitatesnatural processes of birth, decay, death and metamorphosis, and conjures images of rock surfaces andsandy surfaces. Emerging shapes, particularly rectangularplanes, appear partially submerged bothvisually and conceptually in work aptly describedas having "an etching-like intimacy."Ducote once alluded to the rectangles in herwork as symbols for "portals to the unknown". Inlater guises, the rectangular form appeared figurative.Recent work alludes to notions of shieldingand becoming inviolable, or to gates and otherCamrose Ducote, #07-37 (2007), medium [Atelier Gallery,Vancouver BC, Mar 6-30]previewwww.ateliergallery.cabarricades. The rectangle motif appears rhythmicallyin overlapping planes or rows, slashed hereand there with shapes resembling fasteners andhinges. Her restless shattered planes are reminiscentof a Futurist sensibility, particularly with their monochromatic colours punctuated at intervalswith red, blue and black shapes.Ducote earned a BA at the University of Northern Colorado and she has exhibited extensively inVancouver since 1983. She also exhibits with the Wallace gallery in Calgary, Alberta. Ducote is currentlya Studio Technician in Sculpture/Synthetics at the Emily Carr Institute as well as a full-timepainter.

Isabelle Pauwels: Triple BillARTSPEAK, VANCOUVER BC – throughMar 1 Isabelle Pauwels' work is described as centering aroundlanguage and social relations in conjunction with art,architecture and media. Triple Bill, a new three-partvideo work, is part documentary and part fiction. Atsome personal risk, it is based on visits made by theartist to pornography theatres, although pornographicsubjects are never actually pictured.Pauwels believes pornography presents a hugereservoir to examine human behaviour, both in howthe films and roles are scripted, and in the responsethey elicit from viewers. Using rapidly scrolling textscreens, as well as recorded and edited conversation,she narrates her experience of the theatre's architecture,social behaviours and films. The work, whichlooks in part at what audiences want and how they consume, draws a correlation between the theatreand the gallery as sanctioned spaces for viewing and pleasure.Artist Talk: Thursday,February 21, 7:30pm,Emily Carr InstituteTheatre (room 301).Co-presented with TheMorris and HelenBelkin Art Gallery.previewwww.artspeak.caIsabelle Pauwels, Triple Bill (2007), video still [Artspeak,Vancouver BC, through Mar 1]Isabelle Pauwels earned a BFA at Emily Carr Institute in 2001 and her MFA at theArt Institute of Chicago.

Kelly Wood and Monika GrzymalaCATRIONA JEFFRIES GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Jan 8-Feb 16 A new exhibit at Catriona Jeffries mixestwo different approaches to the structuring, distortion and visualization of sound in space. Curatedby Jessie Caryl, the two-person exhibition presentsworks by gallery artist Kelly Wood and Hamburg-basedartist Monika Grzymala.In her work, Wood deals with the erosion of categories,boundaries and structures. At the same time, shepresents images of iteration and reverberation. This dualnature of her photographic work – art, not art; or in thiscase, sound, not sound – is what makes it most intellectuallyprovocative. A new series of ten large, almostmonochromatic photographs make visible the binarycode formats of digital recordings of ten songs performedbetween 1955 and 1990. Visible in each photographare the wave forms and fluctuations produced bysound. Wood used recordings of innovative Canadianpreviewwww.catrionajeffries.comKelly Wood and Monika Grzymala, installation view[Catriona Jeffries Gallery, Vancouver BC, through Feb 16]music ranging from Hugh Le Caine's "dripsody" – composed in 1955 from a sound sample of a dripof water falling in a pail – to recordings by Intersystems, the Nihilist Spasm Band, John Oswald and, ofcourse, the UJ3RK5. An essay by Eric Bell entitled Sound and Material Signs accompanies the exhibitionalong with summarized notes about each composer, band or musician.Monika Grzymala has created an installation entitled Distortion that is comprised of approximatelyseven kilometres of adhesive tape. During her two-week installation process, Grzymala built uplengths and lengths of tape into radiating clusters and striated aggregations of lines that connect toeach other and to the floor and walls of the gallery. The look of Grzymala's installation is related tovisual interference and pixellation, those random errors and digital distortions which appear accidentallyin electronic imagery.

Each artist depicts elementsof the cultural milieu of this period in his work.Images of dancers, in their many forms and social roles,were strong symbols of modernism in turn-of-the-centuryFrance. Dégas, who is known for his naturalistic renderings ofballet dancers from the Paris Opera, often observed thewomen backstage or during rehearsals. Dégas created manyexpressive tonal sketches of the graceful forms. The drawingsserved as the framework for his larger formal pieces like theThe Ballet Class or for such sculptural works as The LittleDancer, Aged Fourteen which was cast in bronze after hisdeath.Forain, who was more of a caricaturist and newspaperillustrator, focused on social dilemmas of female dancers ofthe time, who were often put into compromising situationsby the advances of wealthy male patrons or abonnés. Using apictorial approach, Forain offers a critical narrative and socialsatire through gestures, facial expressions and glances.Toulouse-Lautrec favoured the nighttime entertainmentof dance halls and cabarets rather than the ballet. His largecolour lithographed posters of star performers transformedthe medium. Skewing boundaries between high art andadvertisement, Toulouse-Lautrec became famous in Paristhrough a commissioned poster Moulin Rouge-La Goulue.

Through his portrayals of their fashionable dress, sexual innuendosand expressive poses, Toulouse-Lautrec conveyed both the commodification of these womenas well as their unique position outside the world of the bourgeoisie.

Lino Tagliapietra: Il Bianco e il NeroWILLIAM TRAVER GALLERY, SEATTLE WA – Feb 8-Mar 2Lino Tagliapietra In Retrospect:A Modern Renaissance in GlassMUSEUM OF GLASS, TACOMA WA – Feb 23-Aug 24previewwww.travergallery.comwww.museumofglass.orgLino Tagliapietra, Picadilly (2007), blown glass[William Traver Gallery, Seattle WA, Feb 8-Mar 2]Lino Tagliapietra, an eminent figure distinguished for hisextraordinary skill and influence on the contemporaryworld of glass art was born and trained in Murano, Italy, acentre for traditional glassmaking. Tagliapietra came toSeattle in 1979 to teach at the Pilchuck Glass School havingan unprecedented effect on American glass artists andthe what is known as the Studio Glass Movement. Twoexhibitions highlight his work, both past and present.In Seattle, Traver Gallery is presenting Tagliapietra’s latestbody of work which is a quieting departure from his typical palette of vivid saturated hues. IlBianco e Il Nero is an elegant series done exclusively in white, black and clear glass. The monochromaticsimplification emphasizes Tagliapietra’s controlled labyrinth of sophisticated cane work,revealing delicate textures that appear to be woven within graceful forms. Exposing the organicqualities of glass Tagliapietra distills the medium into not only an immaculate purity of balancedform, but into a sensitive work of art that points to the sublime connection between the liquidymedium and it’s essence in nature. Radiant vessels evoke patterns of rippling water, the sheen ofcrystalline frost and the tranquility of moonlight.In Tacoma, The Museum of Glass hosts the first retrospective of Tagliapietra’s work, spanningover 40 years of his career. Pieces range from his well known contemporary vessels, to objects anddesigns created for the industry, and works from personal and private collections that have neverbefore been exhibited. The impressive exhibition includes over 150 pieces and will be travellingnationally until 2010. In conjunction with this exhibition, Tagliapietra will be at the Museum’s hotshop for a number of days in February and there are a series of events planned around this showand an extensive catalogue is available.
