Chris Millarpreviewwww.trepanierbaer.comChris Millar Heads I Made (3) (2006), acrylic oncanvas [TrépanierBaer, Calgary AB, Jan 4-26]TREPANIER BAER, CALGARY AB – Jan 4-26 The insanelychaotic paintings of Calgary artist Chris Millar appear tohave been created by a run-away Mixmaster spewing maps,signs and comic books. What appear to be densely layeredcollages of figures, text and patterns are actuallyimpenetrable compositions painted with acrylic oncanvases. Completely idiosyncratic, the distinctive imageryhighlights a new generation of artists influenced bycontemporary mass media.Millar culls his source material from comic books, manga,rock music, video games, television, pop culture and otherartwork to create eccentric pieces filled with fragments of text.They have been compared to the frenzied pages of Mad magazineand described as “taking the art of doodling to theextreme” with 000-size paintbrushes. After moving from earlycomic-book style layouts to panelled pieces, Miller flouts theboundaries of the format in his new work to indicate he is justwarming up.Chris Millar was born in Alberta. He completed a FineArts Diploma at Grant MacEwan Community College,Edmonton, Alberta (1998), a Bachelor of Fine Arts, AlbertaCollege of Art and Design in Calgary (2000), and an AlbertaBiennial New Works residency at the Banff Centre (2005).He was one of 15 semi-finalists in the 2005 RBC CanadianPainting Competition. His work has been shown at theMuseum of Contemporary Canadian Art, Saint Mary's UniversityGallery, Bau-Xi Gallery, Galerie Sussex Gallery, the Alberta Biennial Of Contemporary ArtExhibition, Walter Phillips Gallery and Edmonton Art Gallery.

David TychoPETLEY JONES GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Nov 22-Dec 5 David Tycho’s abstract expressionist landscapesare based on his frequent backpacking treks to the cinder flats, lava flows and ice fields surroundingBlack Tusk, an extinct volcano near Whistler BC.Tycho brings his own unique energy to lean images of whitesnow, black basalt gravel and grey rocks. Painted in a style reminiscentof 1950s abstraction, the minimal works evoke an other-worldlyterrain.Tycho studied art at the University of British Columbia inthe early 1980s under Gordon Smith, an unabashedly vigorouspainter of the Pacific West Coast. Subsequent travels inJapan introduced Tycho to the exquisitely simple painting ofZen monks. Tycho’s current series of approximately 24 paintingswas inspired by numerous trips to the Garibaldi Parkregion, where he found something very powerful and magneticthat he couldn’t explain. With the distinctive erodedmountain top “burned onto [his] subconscious… almost asan archetypal symbol or motif, much the way Mount Fuji isto the Japanese”, Tycho embarked on an extensive journey ofintegrating the Black Tusk landscape with a personalapproach to painting.Tycho’s work has been exhibited in Vancouver, Victoria,David Tycho, Black Tusk #12 (2007), acrylic oncanvas [Petley Jones Gallery, Vancouver BC, Nov22-Dec 5]previewwww.petleyjones.comWhistler, Edmonton, Seattle, Los Angeles, Geneva, Brusselsand Manila, and is collected worldwide.

GALLERY VIEWSBY ANN ROSENBERGNew Market Tax Credits help US Cultural Institutionsto become Property OwnersSince the year 2000, the Museum of Contemporary Craft in Portland is one of the non-profitgroups in the United States to have qualified for assistance from the NMTC Program. This taxcredit scheme is philosophically similar to the Bonused Amenities system that contributes to thefinancial well-being of Vancouver's Contemporary Art Gallery, but is very different in the waythat funds are allocated and applied.As with the Contemporary Art Gallery (the subject of this column in the previous issue ofPreview: The Gallery Guide), this well-respected craft venue had a significant history prior to itsrecent move to the DeSoto Project (in the North Park Blocks) located between the Pearl Districtand the Old Town-Chinatown area of Portland. The various incarnations of the Museum servedthe crafts community since first opening as the Oregon Ceramic Studio in 1937 with WPAsupport in the historic Lair Hill area.Portland arts patron anddeveloper, Jim Winkler, wasinstrumental in realizing a way togreatly improve the Museum'samenities and profile. Winkler knewthat the Daisy Kingdom building inthe DeSoto Project was eligible forplacement on the 1976 NationalRegister of Historic Places, therebyensuring Federal funding forrenovations and up-grading. But,perhaps more importantly, he wascertain that the Museum itself wouldbe eligible for funding through theNMTC Program designed to provideThe new Museum of Contemporary Craft in Portlandfinancial assistance to a range of non-profit organizations dedicated to revitalizing communities,through planned ownership of condominium units in structures such as the DeSoto Building.By the time the project was ready to open, the Museum was sharing the DeSoto space withCharles Hartman Fine Art, Blue Sky Gallery (photography), Augen Gallery, Froelick Gallery,and other business ventures which had benefited from the NMTC Program. The huge streetparty on 22 July celebrating the Project's completion, was an enormous success and proved thatWinkler's vision for community enhancement, and for concentration of cultural amenities, hadhappened 'big time'. In its new location, the two-level Museum of Contemporary Craft has astore-front profile on a busy shopping street. The 4,500 square foot space can accommodate ashop, changing exhibits, an interactive educational program, and an expanding permanentcollection of Pacific Northwest contemporary craft.How does Vancouver's Bonused Amenities approach compare with the NMTC Program inthe U.S.? A non-profit cultural entity such as the Contemporary Art Gallery has the benefit of arent-free, purpose-built space, for twenty years through a specific contract between the City anda developer, in exchange for granting the developer, for example, the right to build beyondrestrictions for a particular zoning. The Gallery will never own the space and must amass anendowment fund to cover the rental costs when the subsidized period has ended. The PortlandMuseum, on the other hand, received 2.5 million dollars in tax credits as a "cash" infusionintended for payment towards the mortgage registered against their DeSoto space.Ann Rosenberg is a Vancouver-based freelance curator, critic and author.20 PREVIEW ■ NOV/DEC/JAN 2007-08

Grant Boland: New PaintingsWINCHESTER GALLERIES-1010 BROAD ST., VICTORIA BC – Nov 29-Dec 24 Well-known Newfoundlandartist Grant Boland is nationally recognized for his impeccable technique and elegant style infigure studies and still life renderings. He employsthe kind of realism that brought Maritime artistsChristopher Pratt, Mary Pratt and Alex Colville tointernational fame. Drawing on the visual vocabularyof American painters Andrew Wyeth andEdward Hopper, the “Atlantic realist” paintersbecame known for their smooth surfaces and quietgraphic content. Dry brush, watercolour or eggtempera are frequently employed in small-scaleworks.Boland works with oil on panel and drawingmedia to create remarkably luminous imagery. Inhis second solo exhibit of magic realist paintings atVictoria’s Winchester Galleries, he applies obliqueperspectives and Baroque elements such as diagonalsand asymmetry to enhance the simple compositions.Like his contemporaries, he focuses on theplay of light and shadow, the glowing and reflectivesurfaces and fine details like water drops and crinkledpaper folds.previewwww.winchestergalleriesltd.comGrant Boland, Winter Oranges (2004), oil on board [WinchesterGalleries, 1010 Broad St, Victoria BC, Nov 29-Dec 24]Boland was born in St. Mary’s Bay and studied art at the Sir Wilfred Grenfell College, MemorialUniversity of Newfoundland in Corner Brook.

Leigh Bridges: HinterlandBJORNSON KAJIWARA GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Nov 1-30 Hinterland by Vancouver artist LeighBridges is a series of oil and acrylic paintings from 10 inches to 5.5 feet in size inspired by her recentyear living in Berlin. Drawing on art historical sources from 19th Century German romantic landscapepainting to colour field abstractions, and with the ad hoc subject matter of her contemporaryEtienne Zack and the high-key hues of photographerGreg Girard, Bridges carves her own visualterritory with oddly littered landscapes and toxiccolours.Bridges’ paintings are “nominally representational”in the manner of manipulated Polaroidphotos or surrealist dreamscapes. They are psychologicallysuggestive spaces with titles likeStump, Garbage and Flower, Debris Shelter orSword, Shield and Arrow, where she plays withcamping gear, star formations, ladders, huts, tentsand sparse evergreen trees, all silhouetted againstdramatic blooming skies. She hints: “Perhaps weare viewing a campsite (park), a children’s tree fortLeigh Bridges, Debris Shelter (2007), oil and acrylic on canvas[Bjornson Kajiwara Gallery, Vancouver BC, Nov 1-30]previewwww.TAG.bc.ca(backyard), or an isolated survivalist home(wilderness)”, yet the work overall appears toallude to more transcendental experiences.Leigh Bridges graduated from the Universityof Victoria with a Master’s in Visual Arts (2005) and from the University of Alberta with a B.F.A.(1994). Her paintings have a kind of visual and symbolic logic that is not immediately apparent butextremely tantalizing to decipher.

previewwww.gregkucera.comRoger Shimomura: Minidoka on My MindGREG KUCERA GALLERY, SEATTLE WA – Nov 15-Dec 22Roger Shimomura's latest body of work, Minidoka on My Mind,reconstructs life inside Camp Minidoka, Idaho, the site of 13,000internees from Washington, Oregon and Alaska between 1942-45. As a young Japanese American child, Shimomura wasdetained with his parents during World War II in this barrenlandscape of sagebrush and dust. He uses his ethnic heritage as ajumping off point to both reflect on the events of the 1940s waryears and to promote an awareness of the current state of Americaninternational affairs.The Seattle-born artist began dealing with themes of racialintolerance and stereotypes surrounding his Japanese Americanidentity in 1969 after arriving to teach at the University of Kansas.Shimomura applies a graphic/pop treatment to his outlinedsubjects, using flat planes of colour to fuse the accessibility ofcomic book style with the provocation of a larger social message.Shimomura's images are distilled from bits of personal memory,passages from his late grandmother's journal, governmentpublications, books, magazines and a general recollection of whatcomes to mind when he thinks of camp. The hastily-built, uninsulatedbarracks and desolate landscape set a tone for the monotonyof their daily life. Depicting a wide range of people and situationsframed by pictures of the bleak structures or "blocks", Shimomuracaptures shadows of young children playing, women (2006), acrylic on canvas [Greg KuceraRoger Shimomura, Block Dance Break #2doing house chores and couples dancing behind barrack walls, Gallery, Seattle WA, Nov 15-Dec 22]all contained within the silhouettes of barbed wire that he usesas a constant reminder of their confinement within the relocation centres.

previewwww.artspeak.caOn the Beach: Don Coltman (Steffens-Colmer Ltd.),Kristan Horton, Jack Lindsay, Taras PolataikoJack Lindsay, Troops landing at Kitsilano Beach during war gamesexercises, photo circa 1942 [Artspeak, Vancouver BC, Oct 20-Nov 24]ARTSPEAK, VANCOUVER BC – Oct 20-Nov 24 On the Beach combines work by contemporary artistsKristan Horton and Taras Polataiko with World War II-era photographs from the Vancouver CityArchives by Don Coltman and Jack Lindsay. Taking as their theme Nevil Shute’s 1957 novel On theBeach, the exhibit explores notions of catastrophe, unseen ends and the kinds of preparation andduress leading up to an unknown fate.The novel and subsequent 1959 film areset in Australia, where the final remainingglobal citizens have survived the effects ofan atomic war which will soon reach them.The exhibit has a similar apocalyptic atmosphereof impending doom.Jack Lindsay’s photos of World War IIinvasion drills once held in Kitsilano are instark contrast with Don Coltman’s images ofleisure activities on the same Vancouverbeaches. A banner by Kristan Horton, aToronto-based artist, entitled Repeating Half-Frame, takes the form and language of comicbooks to present text that appears to terminatebefore final revelation. TarasPolataiko, a Vancouver based artist born inChernivtsi, Ukraine, explores similar ideasof political history and memory in his photograph100 Days to Demobilization. Based on the artist's army experience, where he witnessed soldierswriting the number of service days left in the butter spread on their breakfast bread, the workreflects an unseen end.Kristan Horton studied at Guelph University and the Ontario College of Art and Design. Hiswork has been shown internationally, including at Glassbox (Paris), ZKM (Karlsruhe), KiasmaMuseum of Contemporary Art (Helsinki), and Inter Communications Center (Tokyo). TarasPolataiko studied at Stroganov Museum of Fine and Industrial Arts, Moscow and the University ofSaskatchewan, and has exhibited widely, including at the Musée d’Art Contemporain de Montréal,the 25th Sao Paulo Bienale, Soros International Centre for Contemporary Art in Kiev, Warsaw’sCentre for Contemporary Art, the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, and Lombard-Freid Fine Arts,New York.

previewwww.marionscottgallery.comTony Anguhalluq: Drawings and SculpturesMARION SCOTT GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Dec 1-Jan 6 Tony Anguhalluq, a 37-year-old BakerLake resident, has emerged as a significant Inuit artist. The adopted son of Luke Anguhadluq (1895-1982) and Marion Tuu’luq (1910-2002), Anguhalluq builds on traditions pioneered by his artistparents, but his work differs significantly in its treatment of subject matter and perspective byemploying unique combinations of pictorial and orthographicviews.Following the success of his sold-out show at MarionScott last spring, the new exhibition showcasesboth pencil crayon drawings on paper and Anguhalluq’sidiosyncratic stone sculptural pieces. His imagesfeature contemporary Inuit people using modern fishingrods and nets, motorized boats, skidoos and riflesas they live, work and hunt on the rocky terrain andunforgiving waters of the far north. Bird’s eye views,abstractly patterned land formations, skewed silhouettesand overlapping perspectives give his work a startlingedge not often found in either western or Inuit art.Solid masses of colour and distinctive contour linesrecall Japanese woodblock prints, while the top to bottomreadings are reminiscent of scroll-like Persianminiatures.Anguhalluq has drawings in the collection of the ArtTony Anguhalluq, Two inuit are drying caribou meat(2007), pencil crayon on paper [Marion Scott Gallery,Vancouver BC, Dec 1-Jan 6]Gallery of Ontario (in the Sarick Inuit Art Collection)and four of his drawings were recently selected for inclusionin the 13th Biennial of Naive and Marginal Art inSerbia, October 2007. In the spring of 2006, he was oneof four artists featured in Landscape: Contemporary Inuit Drawings, the Marion Scott Gallery’sgroundbreaking exhibition devoted to northern landscape art. The new exhibit will feature over 30of Anguhalluq’s striking landscapes. Mia Johnson★ Gallery of B.C.

OPEN SPACE, VICTORIA BC – Dec 8-15 and Jan 8-18 PULP is an exhibition of intriguing artworksmade from paper that has been cut, folded, printed, crushed or constructed into objects. The PULPcuratorial team of Megan Dickie, Ross Macaulay and Rebecca Michaels asked artists Kelly Jazvacfrom Toronto, Michael Doerksen from Montreal and James Carl from Guelph to reinterpret paper ina way that would emphasize its objecthood as a humble everyday material, and the results are ingenuous.Emerging artist Kelly Jazvac uses paper to exaggeratesocial fascinations and foibles. Two sculpturesin this exhibit, entitled DeLorean and Part of theEnterprise, are enlarged versions of paper patternsshe downloaded from www.papertoys.com From theultimate in rainy-day activities to her DeLoreaninstallation of 514 laminated, laser-printed sheetslaid out on the gallery floor, Jazvac transformed whatwas intended to be a small, handheld constructionwhimsy to a commentary on the car’s failure.

Conservator’s CornerConservator as an Art HistorianIf we look at a cultural object with only acontemporary eye and without inquisitiveness for itshistorical references, there is a risk of sanitizing itsimagery and devaluing its historical context.History is more that what is found in the pages of abook and should have a significant presence in ourlives. An artwork offers more than a visual experience.It can offer a connection to different philosophies andprovide interpretations of past events and culturalvalues. Most importantly, an investigation of historycan link us to artists and other people of differentplaces and eras.BY CHERYLE HARRISONCONSERV1@TELUS.NETThe analytical study of material properties and the use of solutions, magnifiers, and tiny swabs,comprise only a portion of the array of tools available to the conservator. Whether specializing inminute particles, paintings, or large buildings, the conservator'sinvestigation of an object can lead to a discovery of geographical andcultural references. A knowledge of history enables one to view apiece from the aesthetical standards of its time of origin and toperhaps further understand the impetus underlying a certain style orperiod of art. The treatment approach to conservation problemsextends well beyond a technophile's equipment, to the inherentvalue of an object. The question asked is: "How does this artist, orartwork, fit within the spectrum of history?"These three images illustrate different phases of Emily Carr'sevolving approach to painting. The still life piece was paintedbetween 1890 and 1893 while she was studying art in San Francisco.She described the traditional training offered at the school asEmily Carr, Totem Poles, Kitseukla (1912)uninspiring. The second image, Totem Poles, Kitseukla, from 1912,shows a more expressive use of vivid colour which reflects Carr’sexposure to the Impressionist and Fauvist movements during the sixyears she spent in England and France. A later work, Quiet, circa 1942, shows further development ofher painting techniques, use of colour, and adoption of simplified forms and rhythmic movement.During this latter period, Emily Carr was inspired by the Group of Seven received encouragementfrom Lawren Harris in her search to refine her interpretation of the spiritand wild landscape of British Columbia.By incorporating the value of history, and searching beyond anindividual work, we may discover the particular evolution of an artist'screative endeavours. Close proximity to a painting offers the conservator aunique vantage point for examination of an artist's approach to the processof painting through deciphering how brushstrokes are laid and how thecomposition emerged. The conservator, as art historian, endeavours tocombine such an intimate view of an artwork with a study of history toachieve a skillful balance with the results of technological decisions madeunder the scope of preservation.Consider adding the following titles to your reading list: Seeing ThroughPaintings by Andrea Kirsh and Rustin S. Levenson, Unsettling Encounters:First Nations Imagery and the Art of Emily Carr, by Gerta Moray, Emily Carr:New Perspectives on a Canadian Icon, by Hill, Lamoureux, and Thom.Conservator’s Corner articles are archived on-line at: www.preview-art.com.NEXT ISSUE: Murals: painting as architecture.Emily Carr, untitled still life (circa 1890-1893)Emily Carr, Quiet (1942)52 PREVIEW ■ NOV/DEC/JAN 2007-08

Practical Art History orConfessions of a Fine Art AppraiserChapter 12. The Case of A. Y. Jackson’s Smart River (Alaska)Some years ago, I was researching a serigraph a client had purchased for $5 at a 1946 fundraisingevent in the interior of B.C. The 19.50 x 26.25 inch serigraph (silkscreen or screen print)was of A.Y. Jackson's oil on board painting, Smart River (Alaska). Jackson had contributed the10.5 x 13.5 oil painting (based on his earlier pencil sketch) to the Federation of CanadianArtists for a silkscreen series the Federation produced between late 1945 and 1948 with theToronto printing firm, Sampson-MatthewsJackson's pencil sketches date back to thewar years when he travelled the Alaska Highwayon a second expedition sponsored by theNational Gallery of Canada, and facilitated bythe U.S. Army. Such expeditions were anattempt by the Federal Government to offersupport to the United States for their war effort,and for the U.S. Army's Alaska Highwayconstruction project..My client's serigraph is listed on page 10 of a1948 publication issued by the Department ofExternal Affairs entitled Federation of CanadianArtists Series, Catalogue of Canadian ColourReproductions. An image of the oil paintingillustrated the magazine article, “Sketching theAlaska Highway,” in the February/March 1944 edition of Canadian Art. And, an image of theoriginal sketch was reproduced on page 187 in Naomi Jackson Groves' study of Jackson'ssketches in A.Y.'s Canada.Further research revealed that in May of 1990, a Canadian auction house listed a "tempera"painting (20 x 26.50 inches) by A.Y. Jackson with the title Smart River, Alaska Highway 1940. Thelisting stated that a "coloured serigraph (silkscreen print), also based on this subject, wasproduced by Sampson-Matthews". This piece sold for $12,000 even though the pre-saleestimate was set at $20,000-$25,000. As far as I know, tempera is not a common medium in theserigraph process because of inherent problems with water solubility and pigment size relativeto screen mesh size. A recognizable characteristic of the process is the loss of fine detail as thepaint required to develop detail sometimes get trapped in the fine screen mesh and does notpass through onto the paper. A knowledgeable collector of Canadian art suggested to me thatthe ‘tempera’ painting was a ‘mock-up’ painted to serve as the template for production of thesilkscreen images, but this would be unusual given that images are drawn or transferred directlyonto the screen. The image printed in the auction catalogue appears to be exactly the same asmy client’s serigraph. Both have the identical characteristic loss of fine detail in exactly the samelocations.On a further note, another serigraph of this Jackson work was sold at a 2004 Vancouverauction for approximately $1,100.When considering an art purchase, it is important to undertake a thorough investigation toensure that there are no discrepancies in the information presented by the auction house. Thereis an obligation on the part of the seller to exercise due diligence, but the onus falls on the buyerto seek satisfactory verification prior to making a purchase commitment.Caveat emptor - let the buyer beware.Next issue: The Case of Wyland’s whales on wallsBY JIM FINLAYFINLAY FINE ARTWEALTH MANAGEMENTjim_finlay@telus.netA.Y.

MUSEUM OF ANTHROPOLOGY, VANCOUVER BC – through Dec 31 Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas, aFirst Nations-born artist, fuses Japanese pop art and Haida symbols in site installations at Vancouver’sMuseum of Anthropology. Yahgulanaas,who has become well-known for what hedescribes as “haida manga” art, combinesfound objects with his own brand of graphics.Like the trickster he emulates, he is halfplayfulbut very serious. After spendingmuch of the 1980s and 90s dedicated to publicservice and political activism in the HaidaGwaii, Yahgulanaas is using his idiosyncraticart to challenge the institutionalization ofNorthwest Coast First Nations culture.For Pedal to the Meddle he mounted BillReid's 1985 canoe upside down on the roofof a Pontiac Firefly, which he covered in amixture of black paint and argillite dust. Theinstallation questions the ways in whichinstitutions construct iconic status, includingthat of Bill Reid himself. His manga-stylecomic strip mural, painted on the backs ofpreviewwww.moa.ubc.caMichael Nicoll Yahgulanaas: Meddling at the MuseumMichael Nicoll Yahgulanaas, Pedal to the Meddle (2007), Pontiac Firefly,autobody paint, argillite dust, copper leaf; exhibited with 7.5 metercedar canoe by Bill Reid (assisted by Guujaaw, Simon Dick and others),1985 [Museum of Anthropology, Vancouver BC, through Dec 31]twelve archeological storage trays, points out the irony of the collection and archiving of FirstNations culture that has taken place in the museum since its inception.

The show provides an eye-opening look at howWestern civilization influenced Japanese aesthetics during early interactions between the countries,starting with the arrival of Spanish and Portuguese missionariesand traders in the 1540s.Paintings, prints, maps, screens, textiles, lacquerware,ceramics and metalwork are part of this major exhibit,which includes the first map of Japan published in Europe,entitled Depiction of the Island of Japan (1595) byPortuguese illustrator Luis Teixeira. Part way through theexhibit, all of the works on paper, including the prints andmaps, will change over.Spanning three centuries, a period known as sakoku or“closed country” (1639-1853) is highlighted. During thistime, Japan only allowed Dutch and Chinese traders to theport of Nagasaki. European motifs were synthesized tofruitfully enrich Japanese style in the decorative arts. TwoLadies Looking through a Telescope, a woodblock print byKatsushika Hokusai from the series “Fanciful Presentationof Seven Useless Habits”, which depicts a young womanlooking through a telescope, a western invention,symbolizes the Japanese desire for a larger world view.Gountei Sadahide (1807–1879), Scene ofDeparting Ship, Port of California, 1862 [detail],Ukiyo-e ō-ban triptych woodblock print; ink andcolor on paper [Seattle Art Museum, Seattle WA,Part I: Oct 11-Nov 25, Part II: Dec 1-Jan 6]When Japan signed its first treaty with the United Statesin 185, an aesthetic shift again transformed the vision ofJapanese artists, as exemplified by Scene of Departing Ship,Port of California, 1862.Seattle and Kobe are sister-cities and this exhibit marksthe fiftieth anniversary of their successful culturalexchanges.

Kohei Yoshiyuki: The ParkDOUGLAS UDELL GALLERY, VANCOUVER Nov 22-Dec 1 The Park is an infamous series of black-andwhitephotographs of couples having sex at night in Japanese parks while other people watch. Originallyshot by Japanese photographer Kohei Yoshiyuki in Tokyo’s Shinjuku, Yoyogi and Aoyama parksduring the 1970s, the images blatantly depict the sexual exploits of their subjects, both homosexualand heterosexual, and provoke questions about western attitudes towards surveillance and voyeurism.The Tokyo-born artist originally used a35mm camera, infrared film and flash to capturethe strange scenes. They have beendescribed as “a brilliant piece of social documentation”and “an act of art, evidence, softcore porn and social anthropology”. The predatoryand animalistic appearance of the voyeursin most images is more striking than the sexualacts. The graininess of the images recalls cinémavérité and 50’s period pornography.The pictures were first shown life-size in adark gallery in Tokyo in 1979. The artist providedflashlights for viewing the pictures to conjurevoyeuristic sensations. The images fromthe original show were destroyed and new editions(in several sizes) were only printed againpreviewwww.douglasudellgallery.comKohei Yoshiyuki, [plate 31], from the series The Park, Untitled(1971), gelatin silver print [Douglas Udell Gallery, Vancouver BC,Nov 22-Dec 1]this year by Mr. Yoshiyuki.

BEPPU WIARDA GALLERY, PORTLAND OR – Nov 1-30The provocative work of Robert A. Nelson is featured inThe Undiscovered Territory, a new exhibition of drawingsdone in mixed-media and coloured pencil. This prolificyet under-recognized American artist has been the subjectof over 150 solo exhibits during his lengthy career.The fantastical imagery of his current exhibit is areflection of specific aspects from myths, fairy tales andother curious histories. Nelson's detailed illustrativestyle encourages a considerable degree of believabilitydespite the fact that his unmasked characters areengaged in very surreal scenarios. From allegorical creatureslike the Tin Woodman from the Land of Oz, whoappears in multiple pieces, to such legendary figures asGeorge A. Custer, Harry Houdini and Frankenstein, hedefines intricate imagined happenings that hint at deeperpsychological states. These bizarre glimpses into dissonantnarratives have the tone of medieval fables,although they are tempered by Nelson's plausible renditions.As he states, "No art fancier should ever have tocompletely give up the warmth of remembered child likevisions." Images like the mouse pulling a thorn from alion's paw resonate in our collective consciousness.Nelson's work is in many prominent collections,previewwww.beppugallery.comRobert A.

CHAMBERS, PORTLAND, OR – Dec 6-Jan 19 Thephotographic images of Portland artist Heidi Kirkpatrickare generally figurative. She uses thefemale form to convey societal pressures towardthe objectification of women and the complexitiesof the feminine allure. Her new photographic workis object-based and increasingly in a mixed mediaformat.Kirkpatrick is securing transparent photographsto such found objects as wooden toyblocks and a set of mahjong tiles. The works tella fragmented narrative that she infuses with thenostalgia and memory of the object's history. Sheconfines sections of the body to small surfaces inorder to create a playful tension between pictorialtwo-dimensional spaces and tangible threedimensionalmaterials. Similarly, her light boxpieces and other box works have a sense of containmentthat is heighten by her focus on certainpreviewwww.chambersgallery.orgLost & Found: New Photo-Based Works by Heidi KirkpatrickHeidi Kirkpatrick, Kneeling in Red (2007), photograph onfound object [Chambers, Portland OR, Dec 6-Jan 19]portions of the body, like hands and torsos. Kirkpatrick frames her subjects tightly against thedeep stark grounds of her black and white photos, which makes the anatomy more iconic andless specific.Other pieces use MRIs and X-rays of Kirkpatrick layered on the pages of vintage books toexpress the distress and pain of personal physical traumas. In her “Lost Art” series, she set a transparentoutstretched arm atop markings that include penmanship, shorthand and typewriter markings,which feel like tattoos on the surface of skin. Her cyanotypes of miniature Barbie Doll clothingrepresent unrealistic notions about women fitting the mold of a perfect specimen.

Hug: Recent Work by Patricia PiccininiFRYE ART MUSEUM, SEATTLE WA – Sep 22-Jan 6 Through sculpture, photography and video installation,Australian artist Patricia Piccinini creates troubling depictions of transgenic life. Her fleshyand disquieting sculptures are remarkably realistic, strangely familiar and in turn disquieting.Piccinini’s human and animal forms and theirpotential for manipulation raise questions aboutgenetic mutations resulting from recent developmentsinvolving cloning, the human genome andstem cell research. Representing ambivalent hybrids,Piccinini’s sculptures – made from materials like silicone,acrylic resin, fur and human hair – are hyperrealisticand sometimes grotesque, with a likenessthat warrants both admiration and apprehension.In an age of extraordinary biotechnical advancements,distinctions between natural and artificial lifebecome obscured. While some species are becomingendangered, reproductive science commodifies otherlife forms. Piccinini’s work brings moral concerns tothe forefront and reminds us of ethical issues thatmust be addressed along with biological experimentation.Her message clearly points to the consequencesof assuming control over life’s basic buildingblocks. Not so far from the truth, her images of xenotransplantationand bioengineered creatures articulatea fearful yet hopeful statement about how ordinaryexistence is undergoing change and how theboundaries of conscience are intertwined with industrychoices.previewwww.fryeart.orgPatricia Paccinini, Bodyguard (for the Golden HelmetedHoneyeater) [detail] (2004), silicone, fur, acrylic resin,timber, DVD and monitor [Frye Art Gallery, Seattle WA,Sep 22-Jan 6]Piccinini represented Australia in the 2003 Venice Biennale and was included in the BerlinBiennale 2001.
