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

V I G N E T T E S • June/July/August 2011AlbertaROBIN LAURENCESHAYNE DARK: FULL TILT Newzones Gallery, Calgary, through June25 This solo exhibition of sculpture by Shayne Dark demonstrateshis belief that abstract forms can embody a range of“thoughts, feelings and attitudes”. Based in Ontario and exhibitedinternationally, Dark revels in his materials, which includebrilliantly coloured tubes and rods of powder-coated steel. Theartist invests their intersecting forms with a physical presenceand a myriad of meanings.IN THE RED: CREATION FROM DEFICIT Alberta Craft Council Gallery,Edmonton, through July 5 Artists from across Alberta are usingthis exhibition to express their reactions to recent drastic fundingcuts to the arts. Employing a range of media, including clay, textiles,deconstructed books and political cartoons, they express anequally wide range of emotions, from indignation to deep sadness.Implicit in this work and the accompanying statements isan enduring belief in the importance of the arts.DAVID BURDENY: ANCORA Herringer Kiss Gallery, Calgary, June18-July16 Ancora, the Italian word for “still”, is the title ofDavid Burdeny’s new series of colour photographs, shot mostlyon the coasts and lagoons of Europe, Asia, and the United States.This Vancouver-based architect-turned-artist uses a large-formatcamera and muted natural lighting (near dawn or dusk, oftenin rainy or misty conditions) to create sweeping sea- and landscapeimages of dreamy beauty.MIKE MCLEAN: RANGE Southern Alberta Art Gallery, Lethbridge,June 24-September 11 The charged interface between nature andculture finds expression in the dramatic and highly detailed photographsof Vancouver Island artist Mike McLean. Shootingwith a large-format camera, McLean documents evidence ofhuman activity within the spectacular landscape of the RockyMountains. His images include hikers and hiking trails, signposts, weather stations and railway lines, set within grand vistasthat call up ideas of wilderness and the Romantic sublime.SUSAN RANKIN: A VALID BEAUTY Esplanade Gallery, Medicine Hat,July 1-August 21 The garden has been a constant theme in thework of Ontario-based glass artist Susan Rankin. She wraps hervessels in sinuous depictions of vines and leaves or adorns themwith exuberant flowers; her recent series of blown-glass formssees her working in a larger scale and with increasing “voluptuousness”.Rankin has also expanded her practice to include aseries of columnar sculptures that combine solid worked glasswith tall metal rods. Like highly abstracted plant forms, theyseek to redefine the space in which they’re installed.Shayne DarkPaul BoultbeeDavid BurdenyMike McLeanSusan Rankinwww.preview-art.com PREVIEW 13

www.youraga.caTraffic: Conceptual Art in Canada 1965-1980ART GALLERY OF ALBERTA, EDMONTON AB – JUN 25-SEP 25, 2011 Traffic: Conceptual Art in Canadaexamines the practice of conceptual artists from coast to coast between 1965-1980, including notedAmerican artists who came to Canada to make work. Aptly described in Canadian Art, the exhibit“schools attendees in our nation’s diverse approaches to this pervasiveinternational art movement”. This major undertakingpresents artwork in a range of media by over 70 artists. Many ofthem – like Vito Acconci, Ian Carr-Harris, Greg Curnoe,Rodney Graham, Donald Judd, Sol LeWitt, N.E. Thing Co.,Dennis Oppenheim, Michael Snow and Jeff Wall – have beeninternationally recognized. Traffic also highlights the work ofmany of the movement’s most energetic institutions, the artistruncentres.The conceptual art movement was spawned by the activistchanges of the 1960s and supported by rapid developments intechnology. Practitioners eschew notions of art as a skill, talent,or a vehicle for formalist concerns, and propose that the expressionof an idea about art is sufficient for art to have taken place.In many cases, conceptual art takes the form of writing about artpractice or theory, rather than a visual product.Traffic is jointly curated by Grant Arnold (Vancouver ArtGallery), Catherine Crowston (Art Gallery of Alberta), BarbaraFischer (Justina M. Barnicke Gallery), Michèle Thériault withVincent Bonin (Concordia, Montréal), and Jayne WarkTheodore Wan, Bridine Scrub (For GeneralSurgery) (1977), silver gelatin print [Art Galleryof Alberta, Edmonton AB, Jun 25-Sep 25](NSCAD).

www.burnabyartgallery.caThe Solitudes of Place: Recent Drawings by Ann KiplingBURNABY ART GALLERY, BURNABY BC – Jun 30-Aug 21, 2011 British Columbia artist Ann Kipling’sdistinctive mark-making process is showcased in The Solitudes of Place with a group of 43 drawings.Hundreds of tiny lines shimmer and seem to briefly coalesce into forms. Her skill as a draftsman andher phenomenological approach to vision are examined in this exhibit within larger political and artisticframeworks.Kipling’s style reveals an energy,concentration and compulsivenessthat transforms her subjects,whether landscapes, animals orhead studies, into temporal experiences.In an incredible act of concentration,“fascinated by thechange, movement, energy andtransformation of form in a seeminglystatic situation” as she puts it,each drawing was completed in asingle sitting. Her work representsthe artistic process at its finest.Kipling has received wideAnn Kipling, Untitled (May 2, 2009) #2, pen on paper [Burnaby Art Gallery, BurnabyBC, Jun 30-Aug 21]recognition for her distinctive mark-making style, including numerous Canada Council awards andgrants. In 1995, the Vancouver Art Gallery featured a major exhibition of her work. Her prints anddrawings have been acquired by many public art museums in Canada, including the National Gallery ofCanada, the Vancouver Art Gallery, Burnaby Art Gallery, Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, Kamloops ArtGallery and the Edmonton Art Gallery. In 2004, Kipling was awarded the Audain Prize for LifetimeAchievement in the Visual Arts.

V I G N E T T E S • June/July/August 2011British ColumbiaROBIN LAURENCEATTILA RICHARD LUKACS: NEW WORK Winsor Gallery, Vancouver,through June 11 Lukacs gained international attention in the1980s and 90s with his colourful, large-scale “history paintings”,often featuring figures drawn from European skinhead culture.His new body of mostly monochromatic grey abstractions,therefore, may surprise many viewers. Based on the grisaille tradition,these works make ghostly reference to a number of disciplinesand practices, and address “the tradition of painting afterthe end of painting”.SHARY BOYLE Contemporary Art Gallery, Vancouver, June 17-August 21 Toronto artist Shary Boyle takes on the human figurein every scale and medium, from audio-visual performance toporcelain miniatures, and from oil paintings to mixed-mediainstallation. In this touring exhibition, she combines vulnerability,pathos, humour, fantasy, and raunchy sexuality in an utterlyindividual way. At the same time, she challenges our ideas oftruth and beauty.Attila Richard LukacsShary BoyleBRENDA JOY LEM: HOMAGE TO THE HEART Richmond Art Gallery,Richmond, through June 12 This installation of richly layeredimages and text muses on themes of “memory, spirituality, andthe enduring heart”. Employing archival photos, family snapshots,and transcribed oral histories, Brenda Joy Lem chroniclesher grandparents’ arrival in Canada over 100 years ago. She followsthe family through years of grinding work, but also revealshappier aspects of social and recreational life to create a complextapestry of time, change and belonging.MARTIN CREED: COLLECTED WORKS The Rennie Collection,Vancouver, through October 22 From galleries filled with partyballoons to prints made from pieces of broccoli, no medium ormaterial is too unexpected for Turner Prize-winning Britishartist and musician Martin Creed. The show features art drawnexclusively from the Rennie Collection, and programmingincludes individual and collective performance pieces, such asWork No 850 in which physically fit volunteers sprint throughthe gallery at fixed intervals.THE OTHER EMILY: REDEFINING EMILY CARR Royal BC Museum,Victoria, through October 10 Through new research and theuncovering of seldom-seen images and objects, this exhibitionfocuses on the early life of the iconic Emily Carr. It also countersour preconceptions about one of Canada’s most famous artists.Curated from the RBCM collection, the show presents us withan array of art, artifacts and archival material, including Carr’searly paintings, drawings and sketches; diaries, manuscripts andletters; period clothing; and First Nations art. Especially fascinatingare historic photographs of Carr as a young woman, wellbefore her 1927 breakthrough onto the national stage – and intoour mythic imagination.Brenda Joy LemMartin CreedEmily Carr, at left, second row from back, c. 189522 PREVIEW ■ JUNE/JULY/AUGUST 2011

British ColumbiaROBIN LAURENCEGLOBAL NATURE Kamloops Art Gallery, Kamloops, June 11-September 3 Through their individual photographic projects andinstallations, Lorraine Gilbert and Sarah Anne Johnson press usto examine “the relationship between photography and issuesrelated to the environment, eco-tourism, and the ecology movement”.Both artists have chronicled tree planting in areas devastatedby human enterprise, and both have documented excursionsinto northerly realms. In all of their work, human beingscome to fraught terms with their increasingly vulnerable planet.MARIANNE LOVINK: UNNATURAL ORDER Jennifer Kostuik Gallery,Vancouver, June 16-July 10 Toronto sculptor Marianne Lovinkhas stated that she aims to create “evocative, enigmatic work thatchallenges perceptions”. Her new cut steel forms play with scale,dimension, and the relationship between scientific observationand unfettered imagination. The shapes Lovink creates could betiny sea creatures or bursting seed pods – or some alien life formfrom a yet-to-be discovered realm of existence.INUIT PRINTS: JAPANESE INSPIRATION Museum of Anthropology,Vancouver, June 19-September 25 Subtitled “James Houston,Un’ichi Hiratsuka and the Inuit Print Tradition”, this fascinatingexhibition uses rare prints produced in both Japan and CapeDorset during the late 1950s and early 1960s to examine the directinfluence of one culture’s print tradition upon the origins ofanother. Houston, widely known as the person who stimulated thecreation of modern Inuit art and introduced it to southern Canadaand the wider world, travelled to Japan to study direct transferprint techniques with Hiratsuka, then took this knowledge to theCanadian Arctic – where a new art form was born.Sarah Anne JohnsonMarianne LovinkKenojuak Ashevak15TH ANNUAL CANADIAN GLASS SHOW West End Gallery,Victoria, July 1-September 30 The works of more than 40 distinguishedglass artists from across the country are spotlighted inthis exhibition, which will change displays throughout its run.The work that launches the show includes Paull Rodrigue’ssensuous, multi-coloured vessels, Catherine Hibbits’s organicsculptures of reflective, globular forms, and Andrea Ripley’swhimsical and luscious glass “cupcakes” on a blue stand.EWAN MCNEIL Pendulum Gallery, Vancouver, July 4-July 23 Twodisparate bodies of work come together in this solo show by Vancouverartist Ewan McNeil. The first consists of realist paintings,based on photographs of contemporary cityscapes and constructionsites. They are executed in spooky black and white andconjure up sci-fi scenarios in which human beings have disappearedfrom the urban scene.

www.kelownaartgallery.comGabor Szilasi: The Eloquence of the EverydayKELOWNA ART GALLERY, KELOWNA BC – May 14-Aug 14, 2011 Montréal photographer Gabor Szilasihas created a significant body of photographic work since the 1950s. In celebration of his 81stbirthday, the Musée d’art de Joliette in collaboration with the Canadian Museum of ContemporaryPhotography selected 124 photos from private and public collections for this exhibition. Currently inKelowna as part of the National Gallery’s On Tour program, The Eloquence of the Everyday focuses onimages from the past five decades taken in Hungary, rural Quebéc and Montréal.The exhibit highlights Szilasi’s sympathetic, ethnocultural portraits of once-urban landscapes, a vanishedway of life in Budapest, rural regions of Québec during the 1970s, period street scenes of Montréal,and other memorable characterstudies. Printed relatively small andhung in long rows, his images ofimpermanence and transience act as awarm and intimate journey throughrecent decades that seem all but vanished– an impression underscored bycomparison to the saturated coloursand colossal scale of much contemporaryphotographic work.Born in Hungary in 1928, GaborSzilasi became interested in photographyin the early 1950s. Largelyself-taught, he documented theHungarian Revolution in Budapestbefore fleeing in 1956 and immigratingto Canada in 1957. As both anGabor Szilasi, Motorcyclists at Lake Balaton (1954), gelatin silver print [Kelowna ArtGallery, Kelowna BC, May 14-Aug 14]artist and professor at Collège du Vieux Montréal (1971-1980) and Concordia University (1980-1995), he has had an enormous impact on the development of social-documentary photography inCanada. In 2009 he won the Prix Paul-Émile Borduas, and received the Governor General’s Awardfor Visual and Media Arts in 2010.

GALLERY VIEWSBY ANN ROSENBERGannrosenberg@shaw.caThe Hotel Waldorf Reimagined“Reimagined as a creative compound” is the only way to describe the Waldorf Hotel’s currenttransformation. This phrase from the first line of the Waldorf’s internet promo for all parts of theendeavour does grab attention. Perhaps if readers are first learning about this “reimagined” EastVancouver landmark, they’ll begin to attend theevents attractively advertised in the monthly onlinecalendar or go for the exotic cuisine and drinks.In October 2010, shortly before the Waldorf’sofficial opening on Hallowe’en, the Granvilleonline’s Secret City blog featured some facts submittedby the Hotel's “brand manager” DanielFazio who stated that the establishment, built in1947, became well-known after it launched “a premierNorth American tiki bar” in 1955. Marco andVesna Puharich, who bought the Waldorf in 1971,are still in the picture and if the venture makes money,they will benefit. Fazio stated that those involvedin the enterprise are “too interested in contemporary culture and art to create a kitschy hotel.We're taking the spirit of the original hotel, updating it and making it resonate with people today”.A follow-up blog piece by Monica Miller was published in April and contains a wealth of informationwith images including Chris Stenberg’s great shot of the Waldorf façade with a first go atproperly-sweet 1940 colours, the museum-worthy original sign, and the fortuitous touch of a rainbowarching towards this East Van cultural pot of gold.Prior to my May visit, I discovered that the venue was hosting a film series organized by Elvy DelBianco called Vancouver Sometimes Plays Itself. Other recent offerings included an exhibition of workand Grad Party for Emily Carr photography students; Libby Davies’s election night gathering in thedownstairs Cabaret and Andrea Pinheiro’s Loud Cloud exhibit(curated by Jessica Delorme) that was on view in the new Blackand Yellow Gallery in Room 106. Some things that happenhere are akin to those in the best non-profit galleries and culturalcentres. For example, a remount of Stephen Belber’s playTape was accommodated in one of the hotel rooms and amonth-long installation called Karen’s Room took place inanother. In it, hundreds of white sheets donated by the Waldorf(that were given away to the needy here and abroad after theevent was over) were piled, draped, stacked and written upon bythe artist/activist Karen, who is the only human being visuallypresent in this intallation that was executed and videotaped inChris Stenberg, creative content producer, catchesthe Waldorf in a rainbow momentcollaboration with mutimedia artist Paul Wong. Wong andmany other major arts community figures like Stan Douglas,Michael Morris, Rodney Graham, Michael Turner, DouglasCoupland and Attila Richard Lukacs contribute to the Waldorf’s busy program and so dothe Goethe-Institut and Presentation House. Many activities can occur in this complex space because20 of the 30 original hotel rooms are already being used for purposes other than sleeping. From June2-5, the second-storey rooms will be become galleries to house the Waldorf’s first-ever show of internationalcontemporary art in Vancouver. I’m certainly looking forward to seeing what’s in The Fair.Will the Waldorf perpetuate and flourish? Unless a natural disaster or deep economic troublesstrike, I believe it will. As Michael Turner told me in a phone interview, “the individuals who managevarious concerns at the Waldorf bring relevant experience to their tasks”.http://www.waldorfhotel.com/Michael Turner’s Rolling Stones video is screened at theWaldorf Hotel26 PREVIEW ■ JUNE/JULY/AUGUST 2011

www.richmondartgallery.orgFibred OpticsRICHMOND ART GALLERY, RICHMOND BC – Jun 24-Aug 28, 2011 Previously shown at the Ottawa ArtGallery last winter, Fibred Optics presents the unique work of four Eastern Canada-based artists:Frances Dorsey (Halifax), Jérôme Havre (Montréal), Ed Pien (Toronto) and Michèle Provost(Gatineau). Using both natural and synthetic materials, each artist variously combines traditional andcontemporary techniques with their own inventive use of materials and themes.The fascinating pieces in this exhibition share a passion for narrative. Frances Dorsey prints sectionsof linen, cotton and rayon fabrics withdyes and silver leaf, then stitches and assemblesthem in layers to form gorgeous wallpieces. The colours and motifs reflect memoriesfrom childhood days in pre-AmericanwarVietnam. Ed Pien’s installation – a dramatic,spidery network of knotted ropecombined with a large projection – invitesvisitors to walk inside the floor-to-ceilinglabyrinth. Born in Taiwan and educated inCanada, Pien has exhibited his eerie work atnumerous prestigious venues in NorthAmerica and Europe.Jérôme Havre’s figures explore France’scolonial history on the African continentand in the Caribbean. His soft nylon sculptures seem part toys and part aliens, reflecting a fine linebetween humour and terror. Suspended, they have a dark, shamanistic presence with overtones ofsuturing and hybridity. Ottawa artist Michèle Provost has drawn from magazines, films, the Internetand comic strips in her hand-embroidered pieces. Her recent stitched images in Fibred Opticshumourously convert writing from art magazines and curatorial texts into visual art.

www.presentationhousegallery.orgKarlheinz Weinberger: Intimate StrangerPRESENTATION HOUSE GALLERY, NORTH VANCOUVER BC – May 20-Jul 17, 2011 Born in 1921,Zurich photographer Karlheinz Weinberger quietly built an impressive collection of images thatremained largely unseen until his death in 2006. TheZurich counter-culture of the late 50s and early 60semulated American “heroes” Elvis Presley, Marlon Brandoand James Dean. Like the hippies who followed ten yearslater, Weinberger’s rebels were defiant teens – what wecalled “hoods” in Canada – rebelling against theconservatism and conformity of the post-war years.Sporting greaser hairdos, beehives, tattoos, and draped inparaphernalia like heavy chains, enormous customized beltbuckles and crudely hand-decorated leather jackets, theirlook was aimed at being shocking and repelling.Weinberger’s exquisitely detailed work includes shots ofgay men in Switzerland and Italy as well as the young “radicals”.A quiet and unassuming warehouse worker by day, hepublished pictures in a gay magazine under the pseudonym“Jim”. He was also invited to photograph Switzerland’s firstKarlheinz Weinberger, Zurich (c. 1961), photograph[Presentation House Gallery, North Vancouver BC, May20-Jul 17]Hell’s Angels chapter.

COURTESY OF THE ARTIST, ELIZABETH LEACH GALLERY AND ROBERTS & TILTON, LAwww.elizabethleach.comMise-en-ScèneELIZABETH LEACH GALLERY, PORTLAND, OR – Jun 2-Jul 16, 2011 Mise-en-Scène is part of the 30thAnniversary Exhibition Program at the Elizabeth Leach Gallery. The exhibit’s title, taken from theFrench term refers to elements that create the mood and general visual environment of a theatricalspace. Costumes, props, lighting, set design and framing are typical components used to convey informationabout a story and its characters.Mise-en-Scène features the work of seven artists – Luke Butler, Noah Davis, Robert Hanson, JustineKurland, Vik Muniz, John Sonsini and Pamela Wilson-Ryckman – who incorporate narrative elementsin their individual artworks as avenues for visual storytelling.Luke Butler shows us masculine pop-culture icons in unheroic moments to express vulnerability.The San Francisco artist is known for his painted re-creations of scenes from the original Star Trekseries, most often depicting Captain Kirkfallen or under duress. Noah Davis usesdream-like scenes and a personal explorationof fantasy to give emotional weight to hisnarratives. Robert Hanson’s expressiveapproach to figures and portraits, capturingspecific moments of self-reflection, resultsfrom his work with live models in real time.Pamela Wilson-Ryckman’s watercolour andink street scenes convey ethereal momentsNoah Davis, Zero (2010), oil on canvas [Elizabeth Leach Gallery,Portland OR, Jun 2-Jul 16]reminiscent of fleeting memories, underscoringthe fragility of time.A recent series by photographer JustineKurland documents the remaining commercialrail systems in the American West andthe transient life of street kids, hobos andtrain hoppers who ride the rails. New Yorkbasedartist Vik Muniz reproduces black andwhite photos of political or famous people using cut paper in a gray scale to examine their importancewithin contemporary culture. For his subjects, John Sonsini of Los Angeles hired Mexican day labourerswhose hidden personalities are revealed in his thickly rendered oil paintings.

COURTESY CATRIONA JEFFRIES, VANCOUVERwww.catrionajeffries.comRobert KleynCATRIONA JEFFRIES GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – May 20-Jun 25, 2011 Early artworks by RobertKleyn are on exhibit at Catriona Jeffries this summer. Kleyn is a Vancouver-based artist andarchitect whose work crosses the boundaries of visual art, architecture, design and critical writing.Produced between 1969 and 1983, the photographs, 35mm slides, Super 8 films, collages andworks on paper, represent a survey of his conceptual work when he was an architecture student atthe University of British Columbia; pieces created while working for an architecture firm in London;and photos taken while in Rome on movie setswith Roberto Rossellini. During the 1980s he lived inNew York, and worked mainly in video and sculpture.As a friend and peer of Ian Wallace, RodneyGraham and Jeff Wall, his experimentations duringthe period examined by this exhibition wereinformed not only by his international experiencesbut by his strong minimalist approach.Kleyn was born in Amsterdam and came to Vancouverin the 1960s to study at University of BC.After many years abroad, he returned to VancouverRobert Kleyn, Untitled (1973), black and white photograph[Catriona Jeffries Gallery, Vancouver BC, May 20-Jun 25]Courtesy Catriona Jeffries, Vancouverbefore teaching architecture at the University ofDetroit and University of Michigan.

Practical Art History orConfessions of a Fine Art AppraiserChapter 27. The Case of Edgar Heap of BirdsThe appraisal of contemporary art is becoming more of a challenge due to the changing nature ofwhat is considered artistic practice within our postmodern society. Postmodernism has redefined art interms of cultural artifact mandated by cultural theorists to tolerate its own manifestations and permutationsin the service of the culture-industry. How do I appraise a controversial conceptual work giftedby an artist to The University of British Columbia through the The Belkin Gallery?As set out on the Belkin Gallery website, “Edgar Heap of Birds is an internationally known artistand scholar of Cheyenne and Arapaho descent. Native Hosts consistsof 12 aluminum signs which make reference to the relationshipbetween First Nations and British Columbia. They are sitedat 12 different locations across the northwest sector of the UBCcampus. On a white background in red text, British Columbia isspelled backwards followed by the phrase ‘Today your Host Is’,and completed by one of twelve names of British Columbia IndianBands. Heap of Birds employs the format of official public signage.Signs guide the way a person moves through public spaceand direct one’s behaviour. The viewer is prompted to considerand to potentially question their authoritative power. These signsuse text in an imaginative and disconcerting way to stimulatethoughts about issues of history, public space, land claims, andeven generosity and sharing”.In an interview with writer Robert P. Willis, for his article onOne sign from Edgar Heap of Birds’s 12-sign project Native Hosts, located at theUniversity of British Columbiathe UBC Faculty of Arts website, the artist stated that “There ismethod to some of the text on the signs being in reverse” and that“It's looking back at all history, all BC tribes. I put the text inreverse to try to specify the true hosts of BC. The red symbolizesthe blood of Native peoples, which also symbolizes renewal”. KeithWallace, past-interim associate director and curator of the Belkin, described Native Hosts as notonly filling the void of public art on campus, but that it will enhance how people interact with thecampus; it will add another level of experience as people move through the university as each sectionof the artwork also looks like an official sign.The difficult question of classification is explored in an article, published in Issue 1 of the onlineUBC Undergraduate Journal of Art History by Catherine Falls, who asks “... is it Coast Salish art? NativeAmerican Art? Or should it be placed in another category altogether? The fact that the creation andinstallation of the work theoretically requires only the artist’s specifications and not the artist’s specificskills or presence further complicates the work’s authenticity in regards to First Nations identity, as executionof the work could be carried out by anyone, regardless of ethnicity. In light of these myriad layersof artistic identity and production, how are we to ascertain the nature of the work’s authorship and classification?”.It would appear that the monetary value of artwork which is associated with intangible aspects of conceptualwork is no longer a legitimate indicator of desirability and acquirability, both of which affectworth. We are therefore left with the economies of material supply and cost of fabrication as an indicatorof value. Is it justifiable to deem the work ‘worthless’ because its value appears to lie beyond a commodity-drivenmarket economy? This raises issues associated with possession, use, ownership and control,ironically the very issues that Heap of Birds is addressing within the context of Native land claims.Next issue: The Case of the Long-Tailed MonkeyBY JIM FINLAYFINLAY FINE ARTjim_finlay@telus.net

Conservator’s CornerBY REBECCA PAVITTFINE ART CONSERVATION, WWW.FINEARTCONSERVE.COMOrganizing and Preserving Collections – Part 3: Photo-Based MaterialAs with other archival materials, collections of photographs and negatives need to be organized to givecontext to each image and for easy item retrieval. If your photographs are already grouped according tosubject matter, you can get right down to cataloguing them with registration numbers and housing themin appropriate enclosures. In this modern world of point and shoot, just because the shutter was presseddoesn't mean that the image is worth keeping, so it may be time to winnow your collections.When dealing with a box of unorganized photographs, you must decide upon logical systems oforder to define and categorize your collections. Family archives will benefit from chronological, geographicaland event headings whereas items of an artistic or documentary nature would require differentcategories. The physical organization and storage of collections present unique challenges as photographyencompasses a variety of materials. Photographic types run the gambit from daguerreotype to inkjetprints, not to mention the range of negative substrates (glass, cellulose nitrate, cellulose acetate andpolyester), which can have different optimum storage requirements and mechanisms of deterioration.Moreover, sizes and formats of early photographs can vary, and will not meet modern standard sizing.Archival suppliers sell storage systemsdesigned for specific sizes andmaterial formats for glass negatives,cased photographs, carte de visitephotos, slides, and the like. Dependingon the types and sizes you have,standard storage systems may need tobe modified to suit your collections.What follows are a few suggestionsfor the private collector to consider:Size: If you only have a few nonstandardsized photographs (such ascased photos, tin-types, or mountedphotos) you might consider a custommount which would allow for proper sequencing. An alternative would be to mark the place the photographwould have occupied in the collection with a note giving its storage location.Materials: All photographs and negatives are sensitive to chemical deterioration. Contact materialsshould be PAT (Photo Activity Test) approved; archival suppliers carry storage materials with the properspecifications. Protein emulsions are thought to be sensitive to the high alkalinity of conventionalbuffered paper-based archival storage materials, so neutral pH cellulose, or archival quality plastic enclosuresare good choices. For extra protection, Microchamber Silversafe boxes, papers and folders are double-sided:neutral pH for the contact side, and alkaline pH with volatile chemical absorbing zeolites forthe non-contact side.Temperature and Relative Humidity: To avoid deterioration temperatures should not exceed 21ºC,but lower is better. For mixed photographic collections, a relative humidity of 35-40% is best, and shouldnever rise above 60%. Owners of valuable photographs should consider environmentally controlled coldor frozen storage.Special Considerations: Cellulose nitrate and cellulose acetate negatives are often unstable. Cellulosenitrate may shrink, causing the gelatin emulsion to accordion wrinkle; cellulose acetate becomes brittle asit deteriorates, giving off a vinegar-like smell from released acetic acid. If your negatives show signs ofthese conditions, it would be best to have them copied, or put in cold storage to slow the process.Photographic chemistry and conservation is extraordinarily complicated; for more information visit WilhelmImaging Research at: www.wilhelm-research.com.NEXT ISSUE: Organizing and Preserving Collections – Part 4: Digital-based material.68 PREVIEW ■ JUNE/JULY/AUGUST 2011

The artists, who practicein Victoria and Toronto, also seek to challenge gallerybehaviours.The projects provide a unique viewpoint on activitiesoften taken for granted in the urban biome. MarleneJess, for example, questions our growing dependenceon bottled water in cities where water is fresh andplentiful. Her project maps sources of free water fountainsin downtown Victoria. Xane St. Phillip envisionsa Living Wall on the facade of 510 Fort Street; the gardenas a vertical art form connects architecture, environmentand biology in new ways.

Rachel Evans uses performance art, sculpture andinstallation to investigate the habitats and behaviours of mammals and birds. Her Prove it like a Penguinperformances encourage participants to imagine the survival strategies of other species.

www.inuit.caJourney: Paddles of the Northwest CoastINUIT GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Jul 9-Aug 5, 2011 Northwest Coast canoe paddles have a fascinatinghistory and breadth of styles that are both artistic and utilitarian. In this novel exhibition, a variety ofembellished, carved and painted paddles are shown. Craftedfrom red and yellow cedar – some embellished withinlaid abalone or copper and others carved with familycrests – they transcend their utilitarian backgrounds asobjects of art in their own right.Numerous contemporary First Nations artists carvepaddles as a way to show their skill with relief work on twodimensionalsurfaces. The intricately fashioned and embellishedpaddles are often used in ceremonial processions anddances. Other paddles, painted with simple designs, havebeen used in the water. Diverse shapes and distinctive traitsrepresent the work of artists from different tribes and communities:blunt, flatter bottoms for river paddling or pointedtips that make the paddles quiet for hunting and for useas potential weapons.Northwest Coast paddles and canoes have traditionallybeen created with extreme attention to detail, reflectingboth the artistic skills of the community and the symbolicimportance of the pieces. The work in this exhibit includespaddles by John, Luke and Angela Marston as well as theirmother Jane Marston, and Joe David, Bill Henderson andMarcel Russ among many others.

V I G N E T T E S • June/July/August 2011OregonALLYN CANTORRICHARD BARNES: ANIMAL LOGIC Blue Sky Gallery, Portland, June 2-July 3 New York-based photographer Richard Barnes documents theway natural history museums organize, preserve and present collectionsin order to give the public an experience of the “wild”. Barnesviews museums as “containers” for remembered and forgotten aspectsof a culture’s history. For a number of years he has produced large-formatcolour images that are hauntingly beautiful and surrealisticallycontemplative; they remind us just how unnatural it feels to view vistasof the natural world in the context of an institution.ROSS PALMER BEECHER: AMERICANA Hallie Ford Museum of Art,Salem, June 4-July 31 Mixed-media works created by Seattle-basedRoss Palmer Beecher over 25 years reflect the Americana theme inthis mid-career retrospective exhibition. Found objects andreclaimed aluminum cans, combined with elements of pop cultureand traditional American folk art, are woven and stitched together toform bold sculptural assemblages of flags, quilts and portraits offamous folk. Her iconic compositions and innovative use of materialpositions her as a contemporary authentic “Americana”.ANNE SIEMS: SAINTS AND OTHER FOLK Laura Russo Gallery, Portland,June 2-July 1 In her most recent series of paintings, Seattle artistAnne Siems continues to explore attributes of the figure throughalluded-to symbolism rather than a more direct narrative. Renderingsof ethereal youthful subjects in mythological settings areinspired by an ongoing interest in vintage photographs, works byEuropean Masters, and Early American Folk Art. Her romanticizedtableaux, filled with floating fanciful creatures, are meticulouslydetailed allegorical renderings of an enchanting imaginary world.SANG-AH CHOI: FAB:TOPIA Chambers@916, Portland, through June 25The playful imagery in Sang-ah Choi’s artwork blends references toher native Korean culture with her experience of living in America.Her new exhibition combines an “idealized” American landscapewith traces of the traditional Korean utopian-landscape style, “Shib-Jang-Sang-Do”. Her large-scale piece, Garbage Mountain, speakswith purpose to the excess and demands of our consumer-drivensociety. A section of her Pink Shelf installation shows a female figurewho appears to be eating strands of her own innards while sittingyoga-style – another witty take on inexplicable over-consumption.KIRK BOTERO: CHROMATIC DREAMS Blackfish Gallery, Portland, May31–July 2 Botero is an abstract painter concerned with the processinherent in the non-representational, where gesture, atmosphere andform are in a constant shift to be resolved. He describes his process inrelation to the “infinite ways color and form can be arranged to conveymeaning” in which he “boils ideas down into a few simple elements”.The painterly works in this, his first solo exhibition at theBlackfish, are colourful, feel grounded in their assertive shapes andtangible sense of form, and speak to a struggle between the consciousand subconscious.Richard BarnesRoss Palmer BeecherAnne SiemsSang-ah ChoiKirk Boterowww.preview-art.com PREVIEW 77

www.whatcommuseum.orgEvergreen Muse: The Art of Elizabeth ColborneWHATCOM MUSEUM, BELLINGHAM WA – Jun 17-Sep 25, 2011 Elizabeth Aline Colborne (1885-1948) was an important Pacific Northwest artist known mainlyfor her contribution to the Arts and Crafts Movement of theregion. In her time, Colborne was also a successful children’sbook illustrator. For most of her adult life she divided her timebetween New York, which served her professional career, and herBellingham home. This comprehensive exhibit showcases themany facets of Colborne’s artistic endeavours, including originalexamples of her block prints and a selection of vintage illustratedchildren’s books.During the 1920s and 30s, Colborne designed, carved andprinted her own editions of colour woodcuts. Characterized bybold arrangements and colourful massed shapes, they oftendepicted regional landscapes. Her work of this periodemployed innovative techniques that were highly influenced bythe aesthetics of Japanese Ukiyo-e prints.Colborne studied at Pratt Institute in New York with theinfluential artist and art educator, Arthur Wesley Dow (1857-Elizabeth Colborne, The Sister Peaks of theCascade Range, Whatcom County Washington(c. 1925), tempera [Whatcom Museum,Bellingham WA, Jun 17-Sep 25]1922). Inspired by East Asian art as well as the British Arts andCrafts Movement, Dow published a book in 1899 that becamethe cornerstone of art education in America for half a century. Heencouraged the creation of art using such compositional elementsas line, mass, colour and a balance of light and dark forms,rather than representation. Colborne adapted his theories in her own prints, drawings, paintings andillustrations inspired by West Coast scenery.

Influenced by earlyfilms, French literature, the nihilism ofDada and Sigmund Freud’s investigationsof human psychology, Surrealismgave birth to automatism, drottage andfumage among other experimentations,and spawned an unprecedented breadthof radical artwork: paintings, sculptures,André Masson, Ophelia (1937), oil on canvas [Vancouver Art Gallery,Vancouver BC, May 28-Sep 25]collage, photographs, rayographs and films. Particularly memorable is the Surrealist “object”, anapproach to sculpture where unrelated components are combined to conjure new meanings.The 350 pieces were culled from 60 prominent private collections, museums and galleries.The exhibit includes films that reveal the provocative nature of Surrealist film-making, and isaccompanied by a 336-page hardcover book edited by curator Dawn Ades.

V I G N E T T E S • June/July/August 2011WashingtonALLYN CANTORBEAUTY & BOUNTY: AMERICAN ART IN AN AGE OF EXPLORATIONSeattle Art Museum, Seattle, June 30-September 11 This summerexhibition at SAM features 45 grand landscape paintings and some 60early photographs by artist-explorers who ventured into the vastwilderness areas of the American West during the late 19th and early20th centuries. Many of the works have rarely if ever been seen by thepublic. The legacy of artists such as Albert Bierstadt, Sanford Gifford,and Thomas Moran is one of impressive interpretations of the “beautyand bounty” of the awe-inspiring landscape they encountered.CARA BARER: OVERLOAD Foster/White Gallery, Seattle, August 4-27Texas artist Cara Barer shapes discarded reading material of all kindsinto mesmerizing sculptural objects set against velvet-black backgroundsas subjects for her fascinating photographs. Her manipulationtechniques include soaking, curling, bending, clipping and otherwisetransforming pages of obsolete, unwanted or irrelevant printinformation. The resultant blossoming of delicate organic piecespreserve the idea of books as tangible objects and question informationloss and overload in an age of rapidly changing ways of accessing,delivering and using information.VICTORIA JOHNSON: BALANCING ACTS Lisa Harris Gallery, Seattle, July7-31 In her own words,Victoria Johnson focuses on abstraction as aninvestigation of “pure form, pure surface and pure color” dedicatedto her “evolving personal language”. These formal principles areapplied to the act of painting itself in which multiple layers of pigmentand painting mediums create multi-directional movement andflow within the picture plane. Johnson’s off-beat earthy palette isemotionally appealing and the carving of space into curvilinear interlockingforms are reminiscent of mid-century design motifs.PAULA MARATEA FULD: TEXT – WORLD VIEW CONTEXT Gallery 110,Seattle, August 4-27 The broad topic of how evolving communicationmethods effect change is a point of departure for Paula Maratea Fuldin this exhibit of new works. Plaster techniques derived from oldworldfrescoes, and modern plastic-based mediums give Fuld a paintingsurface that simultaneously reflects and absorbs light. Her calligraphicmarks resemble both the script of Eastern languages andcomputer-generated code. The intent is to deconstruct formal writtentext to build a symbolic language of paint, texture and light.THINK TWICE: NEW LATIN AMERICAN JEWELRY Bellevue Arts Museum,Bellevue, May 26-October 16 Think Twice presents a wide overview ofthe unique language of jewellery in an impressive exhibition of morethan 130 works by over 90 Latin-American jewellery-makers from 25countries. An exquisite display of pieces dating from the 1940s-1990ssets the design-history tone for the major collection of contemporarypieces, whether traditional or experimental and abstract in conception.There are elements of rich indigenous influences and conventionalcraft-making techniques fused with expressive modernist influencesand innovative industrial techniques.Albert BierstadtCara BarerVictoria JohnsonPaula Maratea FuldClaudia Cucchiwww.preview-art.com PREVIEW 83

COURTESY OF GREG KUCERA GALLERYwww.gregkucera.comDeborah Butterfield: Seven Bronze SculpturesGREG KUCERA GALLERY, SEATTLE WA – Jun 2-Jul 30, 2011 For several decades, Deborah Butterfieldhas created one-of-a-kind sculptures of horses. Branches and limbs of trees, found wood planks, carefullychosen pieces of scrap metal, and various plant materials have all served as source material for theMontana-based artist, who is well-known internationally for her many public works. Most recently,Butterfield has furthered her technical process bydeveloping a variation of the lost-wax method ofbronze casting.Butterfield’s primary sculptures are slightly largerDeborah Butterfield, Tracery (2010), unique cast bronze withpatina [Greg Kucera Gallery, Seattle WA, Jun 2-Jul 30]than life-size. The ephemeral horse forms appear to beconstructed from conglomerations of branches anddriftwood. The artist carefully fastens each piece ofmaterial to armatures that imitate the gestures andpostures of real horses. As Butterfield states, “... thegesture is really more within the body, it's like an internalizedgesture, which is more about the content, thestate of mind or of being at a given instant”.These works cannot be duplicated like other castbronze sculptures. In preparation for turning herassembled wood sculptures into bronze, a heat-resistantplaster mould is made for every piece of wood inthe entirety of the sculpture. Piece by piece, moltenbronze fills the moulds, retaining the original shapeand the grain patterning and variation of the wood. Each unique sculpture has a patina replicating theoriginal wood colouration – the artist’s intricate casting process yields extraordinary results.

The Talent ShowHENRY ART GALLERY, SEATTLE WA – May 7-Aug 21, 2011The Talent Show examines a range of cultural, emotional andethical experiences that emerge from the dichotomy betweenthe hope for fame and the desire for privacy. This interpersonaldynamic sets the tone for the artworks in this thoughtprovokingshow.Organized by the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, thisexhibit includes 18 artists whose early work examines the linebetween anonymity and public participation. In 1983, SophieCalle found a stranger’s address book on the street and photocopiedevery page. After returning the book, Calle had conversationswith the contacts about the book’s unaware ownerand published the accounts in a Paris newspaper. In GracielaCarnevale’s dramatic 1968 piece, she quietly left her ownexhibition opening and locked viewers inside. The event wasdocumented in a series of photographs taken by a friend of theArgentinian artist to capture the reactions and eventual escape(through a broken window) of the gallery visitors.In David Lamelas’s Limit of a Projection I (1967), an alluringspotlight was cast in an empty space, ambiguously drawinggallery visitors to stand beneath. Similarly, Piero Manzoni’s(1933-1963) pedestal piece Base magica – SculturaVivente (1961) attracts audiences to stand upon it like a livingwww.henryart.orgGraciela Carnevale, Encierro y escape (Entrapmentand escape) (1968), documentation of an action atthe Experimental Art Cycle, Rosario, Argentina[Henry Art Gallery, Seattle WA, May 7-Aug 21]piece of sculpture.
