A privately funded museum that began with a col - lection of 19th-century German, Central European and Scandinavian art, the Frye has, under Birnie Danzker, arrived in the 21st century with programming that combines historical overviews related to the Europeans with contemporary local artists who share many of the same viewpoints: the interrelationships between all the arts; concern with the environment; and an interest in architecture and design.

The work specifically alludes to the politics, economics and colo - nial legacy behind the tunnels, buildings and mechanical compo - nents of a Cold War-era rocket test site in Churchill, Manitoba. Here, thinking manifests itself through making. JANET CARDIFF & GEORGE BURES MILLER Southern Alberta Art Gallery, Lethbridge, Oct 1-Nov 20 Internationally renowned artists Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller restage two of their acclaimed audio-visual installations. Opera for a Small Room is based on a collection of opera recordings found in a small-town Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller second-hand store. Old record players and antique loud speakers emit haunting sounds, songs, arias and pop tunes. In the prize- winning installation, The Muriel Lake Incident , cinematic, archi - tectural and aural components immerse the audience in an eerie movie-theatre experience. MISE EN SCENE Alberta Craft Council Gallery, Edmonton, Oct 8-Dec 24 Mise en scène is a French term that refers to the visual and design aspects of a theatre set or film production. Three ceramic artists, Triniruth Bautista, E.M. Alysse Bowd and Anne Drew Potter, make works that employ light, colour, form and architec - Alysse Bowd tural elements to establish the sense of just such a theatrical or cinematic scene. Each, too, employs elements that reflect her cul - tural and geographical background. JO-ANNE BALCAEN: THE ARTIST SHOULD HAVE VALUE The New Gallery, Calgary, Nov 4-Dec 17 Montreal artist Jo-Anne Balcaen works across a range of media including installation, sculpture, photography, video and text. In this exhibition, she questions the nature of the creative process, the supposed “aura” surrounding the objects artists produce, the art-world machinations that occur behind the scenes, and the definitions of “success” and “failure” within the context of a career in the arts. Jo-Anne Balcaen HANNAH DOERKSON: A STORY WE TELL OURSELVES ABOUT OUR - SELVES Art Gallery of Alberta, Edmonton, Dec 3-Feb 20 This mixed-media installation by Calgary artist Hannah Doerkson brings together found and hand-made elements to evoke aban - doned public spaces. Elements include faux-marble statuary, oversized arrangements of fake flowers and an endlessly looping naïve film. The work is populated by “ghosts and time travellers, angels and aliens,” and its mood swings from mythical to conspir - atorial and from transcendent to neurotic.

But it has a few. The Ontario-based Group of Seven of the 1920s and ’30s springs to mind. And for those partial to Surrealism and Abstraction, Montreal’s Les Automatistes of the 1940s. A lesser-known Montreal affilia - tion that paralleled the Group of Seven was the Beaver Hall Group. Organized by the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, this exhibition of mostly oil paint - ings takes its name from the downtown street where members Edwin Holgate, Mabel Lockerby and others shared studio space. As one might expect from a group that came together in the late 1910s, its collected works provide a newsreel of a country transitioning from an Edwardian-era former British colony to a modern nation with modern attributes. Like the Group of Seven, the Beaver Hall Group painted landscapes – but peopled landscapes, with colours associated with the Prudence Heward, At the Theatre (1928) oil on canvas [Glenbow, Calgary Jazz Age. Like Les Automatistes, they AB, Oct 22-Jan 29] explored Abstraction and blended it with Fig - uration. But the biggest distinction the group can lay claim to is that its core membership was comprised of both genders, and this too is reflected in a subject matter that includes an emergent metropolis and the tensions that arise between economic and cultural development.

Although, as the title suggests, these works are arranged to connect to some of the materials and themes present in The Vessel , they are of course discrete works, and in their arrangement belong as much to the artistic sensibilities of Altmejd and his curator as they do to the artists who made them.

Available as a donation courtesy of the artist For more information, visit www.solafiedler.com saag.ca Miruna Dragan: Another Name for Everywhere SOUTHERN ALBERTA ART GALLERY, LETHBRIDGE AB – Dec 3, 2016-Feb 5, 2017 Post-Conceptual artists come from a variety of disciplines. Some, such as Vancouver photo-based artist Ian Wallace, began as a painter before obtaining a graduate degree in Art History. Others, such as Montreal’s Vikky Alexander, studied photography and continues to explore that medium, sometimes through sculpture. Though her most recent work is lens-based, Calgary’s Miruna Dragan holds an MFA in Painting/Printmaking and is an Associate Professor, Drawing at the Alberta College of Art. For her current exhibition, Dra - gan has produced a series of site- responsive works that mine “the liminal spaces between seemingly opposite conditions.” In the double- sided light box When We Stand On Miruna Dragan, When We Stand On The Threshold Between Two Worlds, Our Soul Is Engulfed the Threshold Between Two Worlds, With Dreams (Cave), detail (2014), double-sided lightbox: photo transparency, white & RGB Our Soul Is Engulfed With Dreams LEDs, walnut frame [Southern Alberta Art Gallery, Lethbridge AB, Dec 3-Feb 5] (Sea) (2016), the artist gives us a day-for-night body of water with the rainbow colours of an oil slick montaged upon it. In another work from that series, (Cave) (2014), she opts for a lurid, though brighter, intervention that questions the dif - ference between focus and blur. As a style, Post-Conceptual photography is often noted for a restraint that links it to its idea-based, documentarian predecessor. In Dragan’s work, however, the sensations evoked belong less to the uncanny worlds of Jeff Wall and Gregory Crewdson than they do to the de-peopled metaphysical landscapes of Sylvia Plachy or Caspar David Friedrich.

Back in the 1970s, gallery interventions took the form of institutional critique, where the work was just that: an interrogation of the gallery space in an effort to reveal its contradictions as a neutral site of display. Today, where expressions like “changing the narrative” are as common as “moving things for - ward,” gestures like Leblon’s are as much in the service of the object as they are critical of the institutions that house them. For Untangled Figures , Leblon has made plywood alterations to the CAG’s floor. Not simply to change the look of the space, but to R E U A

But while it can be said that the still life lacks both the awe of a foreboding landscape and the come hither intimacy of a portrait, it can also be more than a bowl of rotten fruit or a vase of vibrant flowers, particularly when writ large, as the title of this double-barreled exhibition suggests.

Victoria-based Marianne Nicolson Marianne Nicolson highlights photographs of her First Nations relations, taken in downtown Vancouver in the 1940s and ’50s. She uses these images together with contemporary photographs of Hastings Street and neon signage to probe and expand upon the idea of home, indigenous territory and disconnection from one’s cul - tural heritage. PIERRE LEICHNER: FALSE PRETENSES Haida Gwaii Museum, Skidegate, Sep 16-Dec 31 Psychiatrist-turned-artist Pierre Leichner “explores commonalities between mental health, min - Pierre Leichner ing and art.” His recent work employs a range of media, includ - ing paper-cast objects, photography, time-lapse video, sound and books altered to resemble models of stepped canyons or strip-mine sites. In his statement, Leichner writes, “As an artist, I want to be part of the journey of our consciousness in our pur - suit of meaning.” ZORAN MALINOVSKI: AN OPEN NATURE The ACT Art Gallery, Maple Ridge, Jan 14-Mar 4 Based in Maple Ridge, Zoran Malinovski draws inspiration from both European and Asian culture. His highly detailed – and at times almost dreamlike – paintings and Zoran Malinovski drawings attest to his close observation of his botanical and zoo - logical subjects. Classically trained in his native Macedonia, Malinovski also asserts that his practice of Asian martial arts such as Tai Chi and quigong, together with daily meditation, has influenced his depictions of the natural world. TOMOYO IHAYA: EYES WATER FIRE Art Beatus, Vancouver, Sep 30- Nov 25 Born in Japan and based in Vancouver, Tomoyo Ihaya has been deeply affected by many extended visits to India, espe - cially to the remote northern region of Ladakh, as well as to the Tibetan community in exile in Dharamsala and Delhi. Her small drawings, animated videos and mixed-media installation reveal these influences while embracing a number of themes, from the cycle of life to the forced migrations of persecuted peoples. Tomoyo Ihaya VANCOUVER IN THE SEVENTIES Museum of Vancouver, Vancouver, Oct 13-Feb 26 Subtitled “Photos from a Decade that Changed the City,” the show features 400 images drawn from the archives of the Vancouver Sun newspaper, displayed alongside a range of artifacts from the Museum’s permanent collection. Organized around themes of protesting, building, performing and playing, the photos reveal a time of immense social, eco - nomic and cultural change in Vancouver.

28 PREVIEW I NOVEMBER/DECEMBER/JANUARY 2016-17 Vignettes • November/December/January 2016-2017

British Columbia ROBIN LAURENCE GERMAINE KOH: HOME MADE HOME Kelowna Art Gallery, Kelowna, Oct 22-Feb 12 Acclaimed Vancouver artist Germaine Koh has recently devoted herself to a creative project designing and Germaine Koh building small dwellings. Her KAG exhibition will include two built environments employing local and recycled materials, stim - ulating visitors to think about alternative modes of living. Koh asks us to consider the practical design challenges along with the environmental and social-economic issues behind the idea of micro homes.

#CALLRESPONSE grunt gallery, Vancouver, Oct 29-Dec 10 The “call” was to support the work of indigenous women and artists through commissions of site-specific art, intended to stimulate #callresponse dialogue between individuals, communities, territories and insti - tutions. Participating artists then invited others to create works in response to their own. The exhibition represents both the site-specific art and the responses to it, with works ranging from photographs, videos and performative paintings to mask dancing and an altered viewing of a historical film. NOMI CHI: SHED YR SKIN Hot Art Wet City Gallery, Vancouver, Nov 3-26 Nomi Chi draws upon numerous references, experiences and disciplines, including work as an illustrator and tattoo artist. The paintings, drawings and sculptures on view at HAWC depict “chimeric, sometimes monstrous” creatures and figures, struggling to free themselves of the ropes that bind them, inter - acting with each other or enacting symbolic dramas in fictional Nomi Chi landscapes. Chi, a graduate of Emily Carr University of Art+Design, has exhibited work nationally and internationally. EASTSIDE CULTURE CRAWL Multiple sites throughout Vancouver’s Eastside, Nov 17-20 This year marks the 20th anniversary of Vancouver’s enormously popular festival of visual arts, design and craft, during which nearly 500 artists will open their studios to an anticipated 25,000 visitors over a four-day period. Located in venues throughout the city’s Eastside, the 2016 Culture Crawl also includes performances, film and video projections, artists’ talks and a juried retrospective exhibition. See culturecrawl.ca for maps and details. Eastside Culture Crawl – Justin Beaumont BARRY DOUPÉ Wil Aballe Art Projects (WAAP), Vancouver, Jan 5- Feb 4 Emerging artist Barry Doupé is already recognized for his computer-generated animations. For his WAAP exhibition, he is creating 100 digital drawings using an AMIGA computer. Working frame by frame, erasing a few pixels in one and adding a few to the next, he produces a series of intriguing and often humorous images that seem to combine elements of expressive figuration, biomorphic surrealism and mid-20th century cartooning.

preview-art.com PREVIEW 31 BY REBECCA PAVITT Conservator’s Corner fineartconserve.com Why Paper Discolours (Part 2: Removal and Prevention) Removal of discolouration requires water-based treatments. This article outlines the general chemistry of wet cleaning, but does not detail the working specifics such as reagent concentrations and pH, limiting factors such as paper and media sensitivities or application methods. 1) Humidification relaxes paper and allows even water absorption (avoiding tidelines) in the subsequent steps. 2) Removal of readily soluble deterioration products using water adjusted to an appropriate range of pH and ionic concentration by adding ammonia and acetic acid. Lower pH (for example, 5.5 – 6.0) facilitates the removal of soluble iron (Fe II) and is less of a “pH shock” to acidic papers. Higher pH (for example, 7.0 – 8.0) gently “fluffs” paper to increase per - meability. Adding ions to water also reduces damage by moderating osmotic pressures between the interior of the paper fibres and the water bath. 3) Removal of less soluble discolouration including metallic com - Kathë Kollwitz portrait, before treatment pounds and degraded resins (from fillers, sizes, etcetera) can, at appropri - ate pH levels, be dissolved and removed by chelators. Citric acid is a rela - tively weak chelator with less potential to damage coloured media. EDTA is a stronger chelator that solubi - lizes more resistant discolouration but can also affect some pigments and dyes. 4) Removal of chromophores through chemical reduction. Oxidation produces chromophores, and reduc - ing bleaches remove chromophores by adding hydrogen. This restores, to some degree, the original cellulose structure. (It cannot rejoin broken molecules.) Sodium borohydride, tert butyl aminoborane and sodium dithionite are three reducing bleaches, each targeting somewhat different chromophore structures. 5) Removal of iron through reduction and chelation. Iron catalyzes oxidative reactions which damage and discolour cellulose; some forms can also stain paper grey and reduce overall brightness. At low pH sodium dithionite can reduce and bring into solution otherwise insoluble forms of iron (Fe III), which can then be sequestered and removed with EDTA. 6 ) Removal of chromophores through oxidation. Oxidative bleaches break chromophoric double bonds by adding oxygen. This changes the chemical structure of cellulose, breaks up the sugar rings and makes the remaining molecule shorter and weaker. Used sparingly, oxidative bleach - es can target discolouration remaining after previous treatments. Hydro - gen peroxide is most commonly used because it is milder than chlorine bleaches. Iron (an oxidative catalyst) must first be removed through reduc - tion and chelation and/or made insoluble by raising pH. If it is not com - pletely removed or inactivated, bleach residues can trigger future oxidative damage. Light bleaching with UV filtered light is a slow and gentle method of oxidative bleaching. Kathë Kollwitz portrait, cleaned by wash - 7) Protect against future oxidation by adding a calcium-based alkaline ing in pH adjusted water, two types of reserve to the paper after rinsing. reducing bleach, light bleaching and 8) Prevention. Good quality contact materials made from alkaline calcium based alkaline reserve cotton or chemically purified wood pulp helps to prevent future damage; additional protection is gained by using paper and matboards that contain MicroChamber xeolites. These xeolites absorb and trap volatile oxidizing agents from air pollution or from the art/artifact itself. They are also a safe way to protect artworks that cannot be water treated. I hope this article gives the reader insight into the reasons why paper discolours and the methods conser - vators might use to address the problem.

Although certain elements have changed, the installation remains a series of sets, in this instance, a bar, a laboratory and a hotel. Available throughout the exhi - bition space are copies of The Night Times newspaper, inside which are descriptions of the artists’ dreams.

Another added feature is the film Consider the Belvedere (2015) that the artists made at the Belvedere Apartments on Vancouver’s Main Street. But of all that is new about this eerie exhibition, the most unusual addition is the artists’ collabora - tion with glassblower Brian Ditchburn, who is contracted by the University of British Columbia’s Chemistry Department to produce and repair materials more commonly associated with laboratory experiments than with art exhibitions. That Feyrer and Henderson are able to remind viewers that experiments in science and in art are not unrelated is testament to their witchy ways . Michael Turner

preview-art.com PREVIEW 43 presentationhousegallery.org Screens and Thresholds PRESENTATION HOUSE GALLERY, NORTH VANCOUVER BC – Oct 7-Dec 4, 2016 Exhibitions curated by artists are generally met with excitement in Vancouver. Until the late 1990s, exhibitions at the city’s artist-run centres were more often than not curated by them. More recently, artists Jeff Wall and Myfan - wy MacLeod have curated exhibitions at the Vancouver Art Gallery, while Stephen Waddell’s Dream Pictures at Presentation House was a curatorial highlight of the 2014 season. Now it is Ray - mond Boisjoly’s turn. For Screens and Thresholds , Boisjoly has gathered photo - graphic, video and installation works by Scott Benesiinaa - Scott Benesiinaabandan, little resistances: mar y| ezln (2015), digital media [Presentation House Gallery, North Vancouver BC, Oct 7-Dec 4] bandan, Tricia Livingston, Mike McDonald, Karthik Pandian, Krista Belle Stewart and the collective Postcommodity to “consider the possibilities and anxieties of visualizing (cultural) knowledges.” While each uses picture-making technologies towards a variety of outcomes, all s hare similar questions pertinent to the impossibility of representation. A particularly compelling series is Benesiinaabandan’s little resistances (2015). Here, the Anishin - abe artist gathered personal photos, arranged them in pairs, scanned them, crumpled up the print, scanned it, printed it onto vinyl and attached it to a 59" x 59" box form for wall display. The transfor - mation of the work is carried in its description as it moves from the plural “them” (original photos) to the singular “it” (scanned versions). Most resonant is that which is present in the work’s title: an anthology of resistances authored by each of its transformations. Michael Turner

Her recent work involves images of windows that she describes as “once defined by …transparency – both visual and conceptual – is now opaque.

Arnold Koroshegyi holds an MFA from the University of Western Ontario and teaches at the University of Toronto and Sheridan College. The series, titled Artifice , which he intends to present in this show “encompasses images of simulated flower arrangements, artificial foliage and fake sun - sets created by means of a [homemade] digital scanner-camera…. The images are formal contra - dictions in photography” and incorporate both high colour realism as well as the mechanical evi - dence of digital image-making.

glenbow.org Power in Pictures: The Outside Circle and the Impact of the Graphic Novel GLENBOW, CALGARY AB – Jun 18 to Spring 2017 Novels are not often the subjects of art exhibitions. But occasionally a novel enters the culture and it is visual artists and curators who find in it a super - charged tableaux. Moby Dick (1851) and The Adven - tures of Huckleberry Finn (1885) inspired exhibitions by curator Jens Hoffmann when he was at the Wattis Institute in the late 2000s. The Outside Circle (2015) had a similar effect on the Glenbow. Authored by Patti LaBoucane-Benson (text) and Kelly Mellings (art), The Outside Circle is the story of two indigenous brothers who, according to the book’s publisher House of Anansi, “try to overcome centuries of historic trauma…to bring about positive change in their lives.” Like most graphic novels, text and image convey not only written and visual infor - mation, but combine to form more dynamic tableaux. Although Power in Pictures opened in June, it is only now that the exhibition can be fully appreciated. Indeed, rather than simply displaying the book’s orig - inal unbound pages, Glenbow staff “connected” Mellings with members of the Urban Society of Abo - Kelly Mellings, illustration from graphic novel The Outside riginal Youth (USAY) for workshops designed to “tap Circle (2015), digital print on aluminum dibond [Glenbow, into their own creativity.” The result is new comics, Calgary AB, Jun 18 to Spring 2017 ] and also new stories told through older narrative forms such as masks.

BY JIM FINLA Y Practical Art History or FINLAY FINE ART Confessions of a Fine Art Appraiser FinlayFineArt.com Chapter 54. The Case of the Olympic Posters Several years ago, to coincide with the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, I was asked by fellow members of the Surrey Founda - tion board to investigate the possibility of purchasing approxi - mately 3,000 Olympic posters to be housed in a newly construct - ed athletic facility in North Surrey. Some of the posters dated back to the turn of the last century. The collection would be per - manently housed in the new facility; however, parts of it would travel to various towns and cities in the province of British Columbia with the intention of promoting the Olympic ideals associated with sports, education and culture. The collection was located in the basement of the Imperial Palace Hotel in Annecy, France, which is close to the Swiss border. The manager of the four-star hotel, a Mr. Couasnon, was the owner of the collection and had graciously offered to subsidize my stay at the hotel in exchange for the possibility of a sale; the asking price for the collection was $3 million USD. As the designated art guy, I was summarily dispatched to Olympic Poster London (1948) my destination with the mandate to make a detailed review of the collection and report back to the board as to the feasibility of the enterprise. I flew to Geneva via Amsterdam and was transported to the Imperial Palace Hotel by the hotel driver. My room with a view on the third floor had a small balcony that overlooked Lake Annecy. On arrival I was greeted by the manager and arranged to meet with him the following day to discuss the logistics involved in viewing, accessing and transporting the collection, some parts of which were displayed in the hotel lobby, rooms and corridors. With unrestricted access to the secured basement, over the course of several days, I was able to make a reasonable deter - mination as to the condition of the collection and form an opinion as to its value and authenticity. The posters were mostly framed and included those produced by commercial, governmental and institutional sponsors; the collection appeared fairly complete with representative images from most of the modern Olympic Games held since 1894. In discussions with my host, I determined that he had formed the collection over many years from his association with the IOC (International Olympic Committee), headquartered in nearby Geneva. If I recall correctly, he indicated that he had at 20th Anniversary Olympic Poster (1914) one time been on the advisory board of the IOC. Upon my return, the board debriefed me and they conclud - ed that they should approach the owner to attempt to acquire approximately 100 posters on approval for a trial exhibition.

E J R l o d R u I r E Y n e S y JO E FAFARD REG DAVIDSON http://www.seattleartmuseum.org Yves Saint Laurent: The Perfection of Style SEATTLE ART MUSEUM, SEATTLE WA – Oct 11, 2016-Jan 8, 2017 This thoughtful retrospective chroni - cles the life’s work of esteemed fashion icon Yves Saint Laurent, highlighting his artistic evolution while presenting major themes throughout his 44-year long career. The exhibition takes visitors inside the mind of the designer by first introducing a series of paper dolls with complete outfits and other drawings created in his teenage years. From his debut Trapeze collection (1958) as a young designer working in the House of Dior, he was at the forefront of fashion. His early innovations continued to redefine women’s couture throughout the 1960s with the pea coat, tuxedo suit, pantsuit and safari jacket, stylistically blending the genders. Drawn primarily from the archives of the Fondation Pierre Bergé – Yves Saint Laurent and private collections, 110 ensem - bles tell his story along with numerous photographs, media clippings and runway videos. A large installation of collec - tion boards from 1962 to 2002 reveal sketches and fabric sam - ples for every haute couture show, tracing the history of his artistic process, while prelimi - nary hand-sewn muslins and an intense collection of costume jewellery exemplify both the Yves Saint Laurent, Pop Art Dresses (1971), [Seattle Art Museum, Seattle WA, working methods and the com - Oct 11-Jan 8] plete vision of the designer. Saint Laurent’s interest in modern art and pop culture is highlighted in several galleries where dress - es play off adjacent paintings and prints, his most famous example being a 1965 cocktail dress, Homage to Piet Mondrian. The eloquently presented exhibit concludes with a magnificent procession of evening wear grouped by colour palette. Floor to ceiling displays of chromatic fabric swatches are intermingled among the luxurious garments – again sharing a glimpse into the creative practice of Yves Saint Laurent.

preview-art.com PREVIEW 69 BY CHRISTINA JOHNSON-DEAN Unheralded Artists [email protected] The Life and Art of Mary Filer Painting and sculpture merging in “cold” glass? That’s what the trailblazer Mary Filer (1920-2016) pioneered in the burst of urbanism in late 20th century Vancouver. The Prairie-born Filer, a Gold Medallist in nursing, developed her artistic skills with the Group of Seven’s Arthur Lismer, becoming McGill University’s first BFA in 1950. After competing graduate work with the renowned educator Victor Lowenfeld at Penn State Univer - sity, Filer added art education and large- scale mural creation to her repertoire, creating The Advance of Neurology , a 142- foot mural for the Montreal Neurologi - cal Institute. Teaching art at McGill Uni - versity, Penn State and New York Uni - versity was creatively stimulating, but Filer was often left with little time for her own art. In 1956 she left the US to be a full- time prolific artist in the UK. There she painted, made prints, exhibited and was inspired by new approaches to glasswork, especially at the new Coventry Cathe - Mary Filer, Partial Adventures in Space 1 (n.d.), laminated and antique clear and dral. Due to the invention of float glass shelled float glass (even thickness and flatness made by floating molten glass on molten metal) and strong epoxy glues (from the airplane construction industry), artists were freed from the leaded glass windows of the past. Filer began by layering colours of polyester resins and then new and recycled glass to create images – becoming a painter in glass. Mary returned to Canada in the late 1960s, with Harold Spence-Sales, McGill University’s School of Architecture professor, who started Canada’s first program of urban planning. From Montreal to Victoria and finally Vancouver, this sexy and uber-creative couple were an active part of transforming art and archi - tecture into an integral part of urban development. Filer became a sculptor in cold glass. Some works were small, infused with light; others were large coloured and layered brilliant murals, created to enhance huge architectural spaces. As a husband-wife team, Mary and Harold were strongly connected to Simon Fraser University, supporting its programs. The downtown Harbour Centre’s lobby features a large glass panel installation of Vancouver with its downtown and two main universities. Filer’s story also parallels the history of the glass art movement, which began in the 1960s, in the US, and with the first post-secondary glass program in Canada at Sheridan College. Since then glass art has grown into many permutations, including hot glass (blown, lampworking, hot casting), cold glass (laminat - ed, leaded, sandblasted, etched), and warm glass (fusing, slumping, kiln casting). As artists formed groups to advance their profession, Mary Filer was always supportive; respected for her innovations and guidance, she was called “Our Lady of the Shard.” As Filer reached her zenith as an artist in cold glass, she was recognized with an honourary doctorate from Simon Fraser University, an Allied Arts Silver Medal from the Royal Architectural Institute of Cana - da, and election to the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts in 2005. During her lifetime, she had more than 160 exhibitions. Filer’s work is in the permanent collections of the National Gallery of Canada, Vancouver General Hospital, Toronto Art Gallery, Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, Burnaby Art Gallery, Confederation Art Centre and Simon Fraser University.

This article is based on the book of the same name, which is ninth in the Unheralded Artists of British Columbia series (Mother Tongue Publishing), which illustrates and explores the lives and art of important but previously undocumented BC artists from the 1900s through the 1960s.

During the month of November, the gallery continues its anniversary programming with a cross- section of new work by gallery artists in Variations: 30 Years as well as featuring a solo show by long-time Portland artist Mary Josephson. The group exhibition serves as a lively dialogue for the broad spectrum of artists and media that has made this one of Portland’s foremost gal - leries, bridging its strong roots to the N O past with a discerning vision of today’s S N H O J

Josephson is well Gallery, Portland OR, Nov 3-26] known for her portrait-based composi - tions with folk art leanings. In this new body of work, she turns her focus to 21st-century culture and all that it embodies from teenage girls obsessed with taking selfies to blurred cultural, racial and gen - der identities. Josephson’s rich, colourful style conveys fundamental human emotions in her adept paintings. Her crafted, embroidered and mosaic works with found framing elements distill the sub - jects into more of an informal mythic realm that suggests a symbolic human narrative over the styl - ization of reality found in her oil paintings. In both approaches, Josephson’s skillful execution reveals layers of intrigue and personal sentiment that is captivating. Allyn Cantor

74 PREVIEW I NOVEMBER/DECEMBER/JANUARY 2016-17 # OPEN LATE ON FIRST THURSDAYS VIGNETTES • Nov/Dec/Jan 2016-17 Oregon ALLYN CANTOR BRAD KAHLHAMER: NOMADIC STUDIO Douglas F. Cooley Memorial Art Gallery, Portland, Oct 27-Dec 15 Featuring the sketchbooks of Brad Kahlhamer, a celebrated Native American artist who lives and works in New York City, this exhibition includes 50 volumes that exemplify the breadth of his pictorial and material experiments. The artist refers to the Brad Kahlhamer sketchbook as a “nomadic studio” where fluid encounters of people, myth, culture and diverse geographies are observed and reimagined with graphic abandon. Kahlhamer’s work blends ethnic and urban street cul - tural experiences into highly expressionistic artworks. This exhibition also includes over 40 pieces of sculpture, paintings and drawings. ANNE APPLEBY: BUT THAT WAS THEN PDX Contemporary Art, Portland, Nov 1-26 Anne Appleby’s internationally exhibited colour field paint - Anne Appleby ings offer a meditative view of the natural world. Through insightful chromatic choices, the artist builds layer upon layer of oil and wax into luminous pieces that seek the essence of landscapes. Working in a mul - ti-panel format, a singular work is composed of several individually nuanced hues that play off one another. The artist’s resonant paintings are soothingly minimalist in their quiet colour relationships, which gives voice to her underlying source of inspiration. ANGELA PASSALACQUA & BARBARA BLACK: LEAVING TROY Blackfish Gallery, Portland, Nov 1-26 Angela Passalacqua and Barbara Black were studio mates in the Troy Laundry Building, Portland’s oldest studio co-op, which closed this summer, displacing dozens of artists due to real estate interests. This exhibit reflects on the loss and excavation of Barbara Black their long time studio space. Passalacqua creates poetic allusions in colourful dream-like narratives that exude a deep sense of emotion. Black uses water-based painting techniques to develop her non-narra - tive abstractions, allowing chance and the power of the unconscious to come into play. STRANGE AND WONDERFUL: AMERICAN FOLK ART FROM THE WILLEM AND DIANE VOLKERSZ COLLECTION Hallie Ford Museum of Art, Salem, Sep 17-Dec 22 Beginning their collection in the 1970s, Willem and Diane Volkersz became intrigued with the creative innocence of out - sider and self-taught artists. Their impressive collection developed through a hands-on approach of visiting with and documenting many Arthur Frenchy of these artists. The exhibit of over 100 pieces includes American folk artists like Rev. Howard Finster (known for his album cover designs for R.E.M. and Talking Heads), Dilmus Hall, Eddie Martin, Nellie Mae Rowe and many others. KAVIN BUCK: PASSAGES Elizabeth Leach Gallery, Portland, Nov 3-Dec 30 Kavin Buck reflects on his transition from living in Los Angeles to liv - ing in the Northwest in his new body of work. Through formal com - positions that are closely rooted in modern and contemporary paint - ing, Buck builds a series of rich abstractions that evoke a shift between the lush verdant environments found in Oregon and the dry arid cli - mate of Southern California. This exhibit marks his first solo show at Elizabeth Leach Gallery. Kavin Buck preview-art.com PREVIEW 75 portlandartmuseum.org S N I L Andy Warhol: Prints from the Collections of L O C

Real estate magnate and philan - U O C thropist Jordan Schnitzer has been Andy Warhol, Mao (11.91) (1972), screenprint [Portland Art Museum, Portland OR, collecting Warhol for decades. Span - Oct 8-Jan 1] ning two floors at the museum, the 250 pieces reunite groups that have been split up, so we get the full impact of, for example, an array of ten Chairman Maos. A big part of the experience is to compare the colours of lipsticks on Marilyn or Mao or the graininess of Associated Press photos of John F. Kennedy’s funeral. The soup cans are given lots of wall space but they don’t require much actual viewing time. More intriguing today is the paper dress that Campbell sold by mail order for two labels and a dollar. Warhol and Big Soup were in on the joke together. His erotic drawings and prints, circulated quietly at the time, show off his inspired sense of com - position and his fluid drawing style, but it’s when you get downstairs, to his 1970s and 1980s period, that the show explodes into colours. We are all skilled at devouring images of celebrities. Warhol wrote the book on that. His Factory Additions are more than just homages; they suck collector, viewer, artist and subject into his mercantile world view. By the time we get to the Endangered Species series – negative images of pandas and zebras worked over with layers of white or bright colours – we are ready to exit through the gift shop. Immerse yourself in the Warholsphere. You’ll stay longer than 15 minutes. Joseph Gallivan

BHARTI KHER: MATTER was published in conjunction with the Vancouver Art Gallery survey of this internationally acclaimed artist. Based in New Delhi, Kher works across photography, sculpture, painting and altered found objects. Her themes include femininity, hybridity, and the qualities that link us to the natural world. Particular to her practice is her repetitive and symbolic use of mass-manufactured “bindis,” the forehead dots worn by many Indian women. With essays by the VAG’s Daina Augaitis and Diana Freundl and six other dis - tinguished contributors. Softcover, 144 pp., $34.95 CAD. Available at the Vancouver Art Gallery Store, 604-662-4706.

THE PROFESSIONALS complements Keith Langergraber’s recent Burnaby Art Gallery exhibition Betrayal at Babylon . Part fiction, part memoir, part history, the publication expands on the show’s intriguing themes, including the ways landscape is culturally shaped by the language we use to describe it. Illustrated with Langergraber’s drawings of maps, tools, fossils, mine sites and fantastical structures. Hardcover, 112 pp., $25 CAD (including tax). Available at the Burnaby Art Gallery, 604-297-4422.

Welch, one of our city’s premier art educators, is also a very talented sculptor. Her series of installa - tions, collectively titled Circuitous Routes , was shown at Open Space Gallery in 2009 and included a sur - prisingly beautiful gallery-dissecting wall of consumer detritus carefully collected and crafted to resem - ble rough hewn lace. The Imaginary Machine , in essence, furthers these investigations into consumer cul - ture, with an implicit, but thought-provoking reminder of our ever-increasing participation in the quandary of economic growth. Drawing on the rich examples found in art history, this show brings to mind the potential power of the DIY counter - culture and the wonderful hope to be discovered in creative invention. Welch explains, “As we collectively lose our understanding of how machines work, or how we can fix them, this subject is both one Robert Youds, Your continuation (2016), vinyl, aluminum, powder-coated steel, controller, timer, Plexiglas of nostalgia but also [Slide Room Gallery, Victoria BC, Nov 4-28] one that allows us to rethink our rela - tionship to the machines around us.

VIGNETTES • Nov/Dec/Jan 2016-17 Washington MATTHEW KANGAS JACOB LAWRENCE: THE MIGRATION SERIES Seattle Art Museum, Seattle, Jan 21-Apr 23 Among the most important African-Ameri - can artists of the past century, Jacob Lawrence came to Seattle in Jacob Lawrence 1971 to teach full time at the University of Washington. Long before that, when he was 23, Lawrence created 60 paintings dealing with the migration from the Deep South to the North. Loans are from the Museum of Modern Art, New York and the Phillips Col - lection. INTO THE WOODS: FORESTS OF THE NORTHWEST COAST Stonington Gallery, Seattle, Dec 1-Jan 27 Forests are crucial for indigenous artists of the Pacific Northwest in that their contents, rivers, streams and trees become fodder for inspiration as well as the materials for their art. Several significant Canadian artists, including Phil Gray, Mari - ka Swan and Isabel Rorick, are included with sculptures, prints and Dan Friday paintings. They underscore how one cedar tree, for example, can serve many purposes.

JEFFREY SIMMONS Greg Kucera Gallery, Seattle, Nov 3-Dec 23 Simmons has interested dealers and curators in New York, San Francisco and Texas. Kucera’s support has provided the artist “with chances to provid e…challenges that are still there to be solved,” the artist said. Overlapping systems, spiraling structures and strict linear allotments radiate beyond order into dazzling optical whirlpools of intensity and delight. The new show follows a recent retrospective at Wenatchee Valley College that examined the evolution of math - ematical structures in his work.

WILLIAM MORRIS Abmeyer+Wood Fine Art, Seattle, Oct 6-Nov 26 The Jeffrey Simmons celebrated Pilchuck Glass School artist and erstwhile Chihuly gaffer (not the Victorian artist and writer), William Morris now lives in seclusion in Hawaii. Director Jonathan Wood has secured a rare group of 27 sculptural glassworks done between 1986 and 2013 expressing the artist’s twin interests in ancient cultures and the environment. Morris’s art is in art museum collections in Japan, France, Germany and elsewhere.

DEBORAH FAYE LAWRENCE 4Culture, Seattle, Nov 3-Dec 1 With polit - ical and social subjects so prominent in current art, searches for his - William Morris torical predecessors continue. Deborah Faye Lawrence is a good example of a Seattle artist who has been way ahead of the curve for years. Acclaimed with awards and grants from the Adolph Gottlieb Foundation and Creative Capital Foundation in New York, Lawrence uses satirical collage as a political tool, heavily supple - mented by texts and allusions to self-taught artists.

Deborah Faye Lawrence www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 83 seattleartmuseum.org Big Picture: Art After 1945 SEATTLE ART MUSEUM, SEATTLE, WA – Jul 23-ongoing SAM founder Richard E. Fuller hated modern art but had to tolerate a young couple, Virginia and Bagley Wright, who moved back to Seattle from New York City in the late 1950s to raise their four children. Mrs. Wright had been a gallery assistant for Sidney Janis and, in this way, began their collection that is now part of SAM. (She also had ties to Vancouver through a family timber company, MacMillan Bloedel). Eyewitness to the rise of Abstract Expressionism, she came into contact with Jackson Pollock, Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns and Robert Morris—all of whom are included in their collection. The couple became known for buying early examples of artists who became very famous later. N N On view are less well-known examples, though a A M
