Masami Koda: Along With FlowTRAVER GALLERY, SEATTLE WA – Jun 5-28, 2009 Masami Koda'ssensitive combinations of lamp-worked glass, bronze and steel referto motifs of growth and of frozen moments. In her newest pieces,the relationship between human beings and nature has becomespecific and personal. Koda combines metal forms with meticulouswebs of clear glass that reflect the subtlety of soft falling rain.The images induce a quiet state of mind that allows the viewerto become more aware of our place within the natural order.Through a macroscopic perspective, Koda emphasizes the eloquenceof organic systems. In Trace, for example, liquifiedstrands of glass funnel through a circular steel form and convergeinto a small droplet, as if to to capture the grace of falling water.Masami Koda was born in Kobe, Japan and graduated fromthe Osaka University of Arts. The Seattle-based artist attendedthe Pilchuck Glass School and the Cleveland Institute of Art priorto earning an MFA from Alfred University, New York. In2007, Koda was the recipient of an Artist Trust/WashingtonState Arts Commission Fellowship Award. The grant allowedher to concentrate on increasing the scale of her delicate mixedmediasculptures. The greater scale and detail have allowed foradditional conceptual depth in her work.

David Wisdom: Vancouver: 1970-1975www.sfu.ca/galleryTECK GALLERY AT SFU, VANCOUVER CAMPUS – May 17-Aug 29, 2009 Photographs by Vancouverbasedbroadcaster David Wisdom depictscenes of the "old" Vancouver: before Expo86, before the real estate boom, and beforeconstruction and roadwork delays becamethe norm in Vancouver.Shown for the first time in print form, theimages were drawn from Wisdom's personalcollection of thousands of slides shot duringthe early 1970s. Originally, they were an integralpart of the 'slide festivals' held from 1969to 1979 with participants including Ian Wallace,Rodney Graham and Jeff Wall.

Ian Skedd: Sign Singingwww.front.bc.ca/WESTERN FRONT GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – May 23-Jun 27, 2009 A new project by Vancouverbasedartist Ian Skedd captures a deaf choir sign-singing Love Will Tear Us Apart. The well-knownsong was originally written by British post-punk band Joy Division in 1979. Skedd's large-scalethree-channel video installation depicts the rhythm and emotion of the pop song translated intosign language – a silent, visual and gestural form ofcommunication. The hands, body and facial movementsof the choir members become the only "readable"aspects of the song. The words and music arefelt not only in the minds and imagination of theviewers but in their bodies as they follow the rhythmof the signing.His work explores relationships between thepublic and private, with a recent focus on the psychologicalprocess of decoding information. At theCharles H. Scott Gallery in 2008, he presented asilent video piece entitled A Brief Account of the Historyof Recorded Music, Re-interpreted (Au Clair de lalune). A Brief Account was based on his research intoIan Skedd, Sign Singing: Love Will Tear Us Apart, JoyDivision, 1979, Deaf Choir (2009), production still [WesternFront Gallery, Vancouver BC, May 23-Jun 27]the phonautogram, a 19th century invention designed to record sound visually rather than aurally.Skedd is a Vancouver-based artist currently residing in London, England. He was recentlyawarded a Cecil Lewis Sculpture Scholarship to pursue a MA in Fine Arts at Chelsea College of Artand Design (London, UK). Since graduating from Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design in 2001,Skedd has had solo exhibitions at the Contemporary Art Gallery and the Trylowsky Gallery, Vancouver.His work has been included in group exhibitions at the Charles H. Scott Gallery and AtelierGallery in Vancouver, and at Antechamber, Regina.

www.galleryjones.comAnn GoldbergGALLERY JONES, VANCOUVER BC – Jun 4-27, 2009 The magic realism of Ann Goldberg is reminiscentof the fine watercolours, oils and prints of Canadian artist Mary Pratt. Like Pratt, Goldberg isdrawn to food, china, transparent plastic and glassware for her still life subject matter. With an emphasison artifacts of photography – such as lens flare, distorted perspectives, and "circles of confusion"caused by an exaggerated depth of field – as well as on her fascination with a full continuum of lightand dark, Goldberg is a quintessential photo-realist painter. Without resorting to factual depiction, shedemonstrates a mastery of the oblique view, translucency, and multi-coloured shadows.The oil on canvas paintings are almost virginalin their cleanliness and purity. They have a delicacyand a poetic immediacy informed by her astute eyeand precise brushwork, although the random,unedited, and unfocussed background shapesreveal an attachment to her photographs asresource material. The viewer has a sense that shehas not, and would not, alter anything but theintensity of light and colour.Goldberg earned a Bachelor of Science at theUniversity of Victoria in 1985, followed by a Bachelorof Applied Science in 1989. She has a history ofAnn Goldberg, Peaches and Plums in a Glass Bowl (2009), oilon canvas [Gallery Jones, Vancouver BC, Jun 4-27]working with architects in Edmonton and Vancouver.The paintings in this exhibit capture some ofthat scientific and architectural exactitude, whether intended or not.

GALLERY VIEWSBY ANN ROSENBERGMuseum of Glass, Tacoma, Washington: A Fusion of Material and ConceptThe 27-metre-tall cone tilted at 17 degrees and covered with diamond-shaped plates of stainlesssteel is visible from several downtown perspectives. It is the much talked about landmark andcrowning feature of the Museum of Glass (MOG) in Tacoma, Washington designed by architect,Arthur Erickson. When a photograph of the structure while under construction was reproducedin a 2002 Museum of Glass bulletin, architecture aficionados would have recognized thatthis robust framework was reminiscent of the 400-metre tall leaning tower conceptualized byVladimir Tatlin as his 1920 Monument to the Third International. At a more basic level, as Ericksonstated in Architecture Week in October of thatyear, his tower is "a nod to the former sawdustburners of the region's lumber mills." Traditionalburners, unlike Erickson's cone, were typicallyclad with sheets of iron not stainless steel.Before entering the Hot Shop Amphitheatrebeneath the centre of the cone, where glass is blownmost afternoons in front of a live audience andbroadcast live on the Internet, there are exhibits toview in the Grand Hall by local and internationalartists as well as pieces from the Permanent Collection.But the climax of the experience will be sittingin a red plush chair within the soaring interior of thecone in a loge-like box. From that safe perch, theskilful and dangerous actions of the teams of highlyskilled glass artists who twirl, blow, cool and reheat globules of molten glass are as mesmerizing towitness as any operatic sword fight. Only from the inside can the amazing structural supports andwigwam-like ceiling of the dome be fully appreciated. Erickson's Museum of Glass was realized incollaboration with Nick Milkovich Architects of Vancouver, British Columbia and Thomas CookReed Reinvald of Tacoma. Within Erickson’s oeuvre, the outermost sheath of the gently curved ovalshape of the Roy Thompson Concert Hall in Toronto, Ontario (designed by Erickson in 1976 withMather & Haldenby) is the most obvious precursor to the tilted cone of the Museum of Glass.Other aspects of the Museum's formal plazas,banks of concrete stairs and the reflecting poolsfound at several levels are traits of the architect’saesthetic which date back to 1963, when the firmof Erickson Massey designed Burnaby’s SimonFraesr University campus. At the MOG thesedesign aspects ensure that the edifice will be a fluid,unfolding surprise as the visitor is drawn toexplore each storey. From the opening of theMuseum in 2002 until July 2008, Buster Simpson'sIncidence (2002) was installed in the uppermostpool. Its thirty-eight 4-foot by 8-foot panels ofthick plate glass (arranged in a saw-like configuration)makes a perfect complement to Erickson'sBuster Simpson, Incidence (2002), tempered plate glass, installedfrom 2002 to 2008 in the uppermost poolGrand Hall, Museum of Glasspure and poetic edifice. In March of 2009 Martin Blank's Fluent Steps was permanently installedin the Main Plaza reflecting pool.The MOG is located on Dock Street near the Thea Foss waterway. The Chihuly Bridge ofGlass, designed by Austin-based architect Arthur Andersson of Andersson-Wise Architects andlegendary glass artist Dale Chihuly, links the MOG with other faclities in the developing culturaldistrict that features educational institutions, museums and galleries.Arthur Erickson, who died on May 20 in Vancouver, will be chiefly remembered in Tacomaby virtue of one of his most beautifully conceived cultural amenities.PHOTO COURTESY OF THE MUSEUM OF GLASS PHOTO: W.

www.richmondartgallery.orgProject Rainbow: The Ruby GlassRICHMOND ART GALLERY, RICHMOND BC – Jul 23-Sep 6, 2009 Project Rainbow is a Vancouverartists' collective that began in 2005 to study concepts of movement and colour. The members, JadeBoyd, Jesse Birch, Sydney Vermont and Heidi Nutley, collaborate on film, video, dance and performanceart. Research-based, each piece is derived fromliterary or art historical sources that have includedworks by Honoré de Balzac, Maya Deren and YvonneRainer. Previous works include L'Human Comedy(2005), a study of the colour yellow, and Variations onGreen (2006). The group, which emphasizes audienceinteraction and public art, draws from a range of artisticmediums. They have been awarded a public artcommission by the City of Vancouver for 2010 thatwill be titled Blue.The Ruby Glass takes its name from Werner Herzog's1976 film, Herz aus Glas, and incorporates publicworkshops to study the colour red (the after-imageof the colour green). In part, the work explores therelationship of physical gestures to hypnosis and toThe Ruby Glass Production Still #3 (2009) [Richmond ArtGallery, Richmond BC, Jul 23-Sep 6]the dance plagues of 14th through 16th century Europe – dances that were characterized by erraticspasms and mass hysteria.Originally shown in 2007 at the Stores Road studios, University of British Columbia, the 2009version of The Ruby Glass is curated by Vancouver artist Kathy Slade.

www.ggibsongallery.comView Master: Lori Nix, Grace Weston, Jonah SamsonG. GIBSON GALLERY, SEATTLE WA – Jun 4-Jul 11, 2009 Lori Nix, Grace Weston and Jonah Samsonhave in common the meticulous practice of fabricating three-dimensional dioramas for the purposeof photo-documentation. In each case, the scenes are later disassembled.Brooklyn-based Lori Nix reconstructs decaying urban environments on a tabletop in her apartment.The incredible life-like detail portrays what ordinaryplaces like a church or laundry room might looklike after being abandoned. The vestiges of seeminglyreal locations with their traces of neglect have aneerie feeling that conjures up a world of deterioration.Grace Weston, a Portland photographer, composesher scenes from found objects, toy-like figurines andfabricated props. The initial playfulness in the humorousmock-ups belies the deeper psychological fears,dramas, and tensions of contemporary life. Toldthrough witty narratives, it is the sense of irony betweenWeston's materials and her conceptual approach, thatgives the final photographs their strength.Jonah Samson's hand-assembled painted setsinclude toy-like figures in a fictional reality. His recentGrace Weston, Winter Wish, Winter Dream (2006),chromogenic print, edition of 20 [G. Gibson Gallery,Seattle WA, Jun 4-Jul 11]work Pleasantville recounts darker scenarios like murder scenes and sexual encounters set within apseudo-suburban backdrop. Vancouver-based, he evokes a sardonic tone in his work that refers tosex and violence as a means of entertainment.

www.grace-gallery.comStone Soup: a progressive art installationGRACE-GALLERY, VANCOUVER BCLisa Birke and Sacha Yamashita – June 13-15, 2009, opening Friday June 12, 7pmChristopher Donnelly and Weakhand – June 20-22, 2009, opening Friday June 19, 7pmRebecca Donald and Christian Nicolay – June 27-29, 2009, opening Friday June 26, 7pmStone Soup is a three-weekend art exhibition guest-curated by Jennifer Mawby, director of VantageArt Projects with Rachel Zottenberg, director of grace-gallery and co-produced by Sherri Kajiwaraalso of Vantage Art Projects, as part of Vantage's curatorial project, Recession Proof Thinking. Threeseparate stages are united by a common concept: two wall muralsand an installation which will be developed in a sequential mannerover a period of three weeks by three groups of two artists.Materials for the artworks have been collected from donationsprior to the inception of the project and contributed by each artist. Inthis manner, the course of the exhibition will come to resemble thefolk parable of the "stone soup", where famished villagers areencouraged by a visiting stranger to contribute bits and pieces of vegetablesto a communal soup for which a the stranger's small stonehas been used as a starter.During the first week of the exhibition, the initial team will create the foundation of the walldrawing. Each subsequent week, a different artist team adds to the wall drawing. Each team isasked to incorporate elements of the previous teams' work as the "flavour" of the artwork develops.A site-specific sculptural art installation utilizing donated or collected materials will also be reconfiguredover the course of the exhibition.In response to the current emphasis on economic hardship and downturn, the exhibition isintended as a model for socially interactive, sustainable, and fiscally responsible art production.After the exhibition, the elements will be collected to enable the artwork to be exhibited again in adifferent location. Anything not put to use will be recycled or donated. A book will also be producedto document the successive exhibit. The book which will be available for purchase at gracegalleryand through Vantage Art Projects online: phone 604-839-5780 or visit www.gracegallery.com.Mia Johnsondens filled with over 100 artists’ creations- paintings, pottery, sculpture,etc.; Aug Arnold Mikelson, woodsculpture, Ali Sepahi, oil, MirjaVahala, oil, Kevin Healy, soapstonecarvings, Murray Sanders, potteryand Don Portelance, watercolour.★ Kwantlen Art Gallery,Kwantlen Polytechnic UniversityCampus, D126-12666 72nd Ave,Library Atrium ✆604-599-2219www.kwantlen.ca/fine-artsCheck the website for hours.

www.vanartgallery.bc.caAndreas Gursky: Werke/Works 80-08VANCOUVER ART GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – May 30-Sep 20, 2009 The vast photographic scenesby German photographer Andreas Gursky have been called by eye-witnesses "literally unbelievable".They capture views of the contemporary world as an overwhelming wilderness of architecture,crowds and consumer products. The images were described by Calvin Tomkins in 2001 as"the majestic aura of nineteenth-centurylandscape paintings, without losing anyof their meticulously detailed immediacyas photographs".In the largest and most comprehensivesurvey of Gursky's work from 1980to 2008, the Vancouver Art Gallery presentsa selection of more than 130 pieces.Although the original photographs have ascale of six to ten feet, in order to representthe breadth of Gursky's wide-rangingsubject matter, the images are being presentedin a small panel format for thisexhibition.Andreas Gursky, 99 Cent. 1999 (1999), C-print [Vancouver Art Gallery,Vancouver BC, May 30-Sep 20] © Andreas Gursky / SODRAC (2009)Gursky has set himself the goal of creating an image-based "Encyclopedia of Life" that depicts,among many other topics, the complexity and enormity of crowds on trading floors, beaches andat performances; the alienating presence of post-modern buildings and lobbies; and the expansesof consumer goods displayed in super stores or disposed of in multi-acre garbage dumps. In 2007,Gursky's 99 Cent II, Diptych, sold for USD $3.3 million, a record for highest price paid at auctionfor a single photographic image.

Practical Art History orConfessions of a Fine Art AppraiserChapter 19. The Case of the Anabiotic AbbeyI had advised my client on the purchase of the painting and hadhelped in acquiring it from the previous owner, who was sellingdue to financial difficulties. The previous owner indicated thatthe piece had been in their family for many years and that he hadinherited it from his since-deceased mother. The oil on canvaspainting was signed 'Wall' at the lower right on a small rock.William Archibald Wall (1828-1879), was said to have depictedthe ruins of Fountains Abbey, England, however I had done someresearch on Fountains Abbey and was unable to connect theimage in the painting with that of a known image of the Abbey.Coincidentally, several years after the purchase, the work was placed on display at a local art andantiques fair and a young couple visiting from England stopped by to admire it. In conversation theymentioned, much to my surprise, that the ruins were actually of Bolton Priory and not FountainsAbbey as previously thought. They were quite familiar with the ruined structure and the surroundingarea in enough detail to comment on the stepping stonewalkway, recognized in the painting and which still existstoday, permitting foot traffic across the River Wharfe whichflows nearby.Bolton Priory was originally founded at Embsay in1120 and contained canons led by a prior. Bolton Abbeywas founded in 1151 by the Augustinian Order on thebanks of the River Wharfe.Construction was still going on at the Abbey when theBolton Abbey, Yorkshire by J.M.W. TurnerDissolution of the Monasteries by Parliamentary Decreeresulted in the termination of the Priory in 1539. The eastend remains in ruins. A tower, begun in 1520, was left halfstanding,and its base was later given a bell-turret and converted into an entrance porch.J.M.W. Turner painted several watercolours of the Priory and Abbey in 1809, one of which appearsto have been painted from almost the same location as Wall had chosen some forty years later.The Abbey has also been painted by some of Britain'smost revered 19th century watercolour artists including Peterde Wint, John Sell Cotman and Thomas Girtin.A work by Sir Edwin Landseer entitled Scene in the OldenTime at Bolton Abbey, painted in 1834, is in the collection ofthe Duke of Devonshire. A more contemporary image of theAbbey was painted by Yorkshire artist Keith Melling.The Priory has enjoyed a revival as such when it was featuredin the 1963 film entitled This Sporting Life starringRichard Harris. The Priory and grounds were the destinationfor a Sunday outing for Frank Machin, played by Harris; hismistress Mrs. Margaret Hammond, played by Rachael Roberts; and her two children. Harris is seenplaying with the children while his mistress looks on against the backdrop of the Priory Ruins. Inone scene the children are shown negotiating the stepping stones to cross the River Wharfe. Theruins were also used as a location for scenes in the 2008 Bollywood supernatural thriller, entitled1920. The Priory also appears, in foggy form, on the front cover of the 1981 album entitled Faith byThe Cure: a dead and decaying structure enjoying a return to life?Next issue: A new focus on contemporary art exhibitions, but not at the expense of art historical context.BY JIM FINLAYFINLAY FINE ARTWEALTH MANAGEMENTjim_finlay@telus.netBolton Abbey by William Archibald WallStepping Stones at Bolton Abbey by Keith Melling50 PREVIEW ■ JUN/JUL/AUG 2009 ★ OPEN LATE ON FIRST THURSDAYS

PHOTO COURTESY OF THE ARTIST AND MURRAY GUY, NEW YORKwww.henryart.orgAnn Lislegaard: 2062HENRY ART GALLERY, SEATTLE WA – Apr 18-Aug 23, 2009 In Ann Lislegaard's first solo exhibition inan American museum, the Danish artist who draws on classic works of science fiction literature, displayssix installations of three digital animation works and three altered sound pieces. Encompassing cinematic,architectural and conceptual notions of time, space, identity and uncertainty, Lislegaard's uses soundand light to formulate physical and psychological places thatare outside of logic. In her virtual environments, ordinaryperceptions of place are re-imagined according to futuristicscenarios and borrowed story lines.Through loose interpretations of narrative subjects suchas J.G. Ballard's 1966 novel The Crystal World, Lislegaard createsa shifting experience similar to Ballard's metaphysicaljourney. In her dual screen installation Crystal World (afterJ.G. Ballard), rooms transform into a labyrinth of spacesdenoting a voyage to the crystalline universe that is aAnn Lislegaard, Left Hand of Darkness (after UrsulaK. Le Guin) (2008), 3-channel video installation[Henry Art Gallery, Seattle WA, Apr 18-Aug 23]metaphor for the realm between life and death.In her other works such as Bellona (after Samuel R.Delany), originally shown at the Danish Pavilion at the 51stVenice Biennale, the video and sound piece is based on a fictionalcity from Samuel R. Delany's 1974 novel Dhalgren, where reality shifts, transforms, and dissolves.Lislegaard re-appropriates this concept into a colourful animated installation of architectural spaces inconstant flux, representing a similar uncertainty, deception and disorder.

Conservator’s CornerBY REBECCA PAVITTWWW.FINEARTCONSERVE.COMI can see clearly now – or can I? – Part TwoThis is the second half of a two-part article on picture frame glazing. In the last issue of Previewwe covered glass materials; in this issue acrylic glazing is discussed.Acrylic is generally used when size or weight is a concern. The larger the frame, the more riskthere is, to art and person, from broken glass. Acrylic is much more impact resistant than glass,and about half the weight. These are important considerationswhen framing oversize art!Acrylic has lower thermal conductivity than glass, so it ismuch less likely to have condensation issues. This makes it possiblefor items like textiles to come in direct contact with theglazing, as in pressure mounting techniques. Acrylic can also besolvent-joined and heat-bent to create three-dimensionalmounts and display boxes.Acrylic does have two drawbacks however; it bows, and itscratches. The thicker the sheet, the less it bows, but the more itweighs. Bowing issues and weight considerations need to betaken into account when designing oversize framing systems.The impact resistance of acrylic makes it an attractive option forShadowbox with regular acrylic on left, and use in public spaces, but its soft surface mars easily from abrapusionand solvents, making it a favourite target for vandals.antireflective Optium Museum on the rightMuch of the product used by the framing industry is made byCryo Industries, with the trade name Acrylite. Acrylite products most commonly used in framing are:• FF-3 plain clear• P-99 clear etched (to reduce glare by scattering reflected light) and• OP-3, which has UV filtering built into the sheet (not a coating).FF-3, P-99 and OP-3 are also available with an abrasion and chemical resistant coating onboth sides and are designated by ‘MR’ (mar resistant).• Acrylics reflect 8% of light (like glass)• FF-3 and P-99 filter 66% UV light• OP-3 products filter 98% UV light but have a slight yellow castTru Vue, a major supplier of frame glazing, markets FF-3 as Premium Clear, P-99 as ReflectionControl, and OP-3 P 99 as Conservation Reflection Control. Tru Vue also supplies some uniqueglazing materials:• Optium Acrylic FF-3 MR with anti-reflective coating on both sides. The combination of MRand optical coatings increases UV filtration to 93%.• Optium Museum Acrylic is OP-3 MR with a proprietary anti-reflective coating on both sides.UV filtration is, like other OP-3 products, 98%.• The anti-reflective coatings on Optium products reduce glare to less than 2%.MR products are anti-static, making them safe to use with friable media such as unfixed pastels.Optium products are also anti-static. Under certain lighting conditions (natural daylight)Optium Acrylic can show a pink cast, so it should be tested in situ before using.Uncoated acrylic products must be cleaned with acrylic cleaners or alcohol/water solutions(rubbing alcohol is the most usual). MR products must be cleaned with glass cleaning products,or alcohol/water solutions. Optium products must be cleaned with alcohol/water solutions. Thesolution should be spritzed onto a clean microfibre cloth, not directly onto the acrylic.Conservator’s Corner articles are archived on-line at: www.preview-art.com.NEXT ISSUE: Old and new methods for cleaning paintings.64 PREVIEW ■ JUN/JUL/AUG 2009

www.artgalleryalberta.comRon Mueck and Guy Ben-Ner: Real LifeART GALLERY OF ALBERTA, EDMONTON AB – Jun 21- Sep 7, 2009 Ron Mueck and Guy Ben-Nershare a common interest in the immediate world around them: their families, marriages, daily eventsand their homes. Ben-Ner's family members serve as actors in his videos while Mueck often uses relativesand close acquaintances as models for his sculptures.Ron Mueck is an Australia-born, London-based artist who has become famous for his hyper-realistself-portraits and his larger-than-life sculptures of mothers, babies and young children. Mueck'searly career was as a model maker and puppeteer for children's television and film until his artworkwas promoted by Charles Saatchi. He captures every nuance of mottled skin, facial pores and surfaceveins in extremely startling figures thathave a magical, almost existential quality.Israeli-born Guy Ben-Ner, based in Berlinand New York, creates seemingly innocentand simple "home videos" that are actuallythe result of hours of careful filming andediting, often over the course of a year. Hisnarratives have been described as having"clearly delineated plots from beginning toend that interrogate such archetypal humanconcepts as love and marriage, necessity andshelter, desire and responsibility." His work,Ron Mueck, A Girl (2006), mixed media [Art Gallery of Alberta,Edmonton AB, Jun 21-Sep 7]inspired by silent film as well as by his wife and children, has such humourous and ironic titles asHoney I Shrunk the Kids and Treehouse Kit.The exhibit is curated by Jonathan Shaughnessy, Assistant Curator of Contemporary Art at theNational Gallery of Canada, where it was shown in 2008. A bilingual catalogue accompanies theshow. Mia JohnsonCOLLECTION NATIONAL GALLERY OF CANADA, OTTAWA.
