Yet unlike earlier critiques of the escapist and indeed addictive aspects of these cultural forms, here artists Sonny Assu and Brendan Tang focus on how these forms “alternately reinforce and transcend racial boundaries in youth culture.” Curated by Laura Schneider and organized and circulated by the Reach Gal- lery Museum Abbotsford, Ready Player 2 comprises found objects, past works and site-specifi c collaborative pieces by two

Those familiar with the work of Assu and Tang will see evidence of their signature interven- tions into existing objects and images – from Assu’s tertiary-coloured UFO-like ovoids ﬂ oating over Euro-Western landscapes to Tang’s initially inexplicable ceramic add-on appendages. But it is the artists’ immersive installations that provide the contextual ground for these works. For some, the wood-panelled basement, the arcade and the comic book store, like the gallery’s ostensibly neutral white cube, will be “seen” as a given. However, for those sensitive to the unexamined trappings of white monoculture, these “adolescent sanctuaries” will be met with chills. Panel discussion Feb 25, 12-1:30pm auarts.ca/kg

20 FEB - MAR 2020 H FIRST THURSDAY OR LATE OPENINGS Tom Thomson Centennial Swim: Paul Walde TOUCHSTONES NELSON: MUSEUM OF ART AND HISTORY, Nelson BC - March 7 - May 31 Photo: Andrew Wright. Courtesy of the artist Photo: Andrew Wright. Paul Walde, Tom Thomson Centennial Swim, 2017

by Michael Turner Ontario artist Tom Thomson was last seen alive on July 8, 1917, when he set out alone on Canoe Lake. Hours later his canoe was found fl oating empty not far from where he departed. A week after that, his body surfaced. He had drowned, and no one could explain how a master canoe- ist like Thomson could go down so easily. A hundred years later, artist Paul Walde marked the occasion by swimming the length of Canoe Lake. Walde’s 3 km swim was more than a tribute to one of Canada’s best-known and much-loved painters; it was, as artists are prone to demonstrate, an attempt to understand Time and Space beyond the default categories of eyes and ears – a total sensorial exploration of landscape and history through performative experience. Accompanying Walde’s swim were a series of interconnected events: a brass band featuring a mandolin soloist performing a Walde composition; a fl otilla of canoes upon which the band played; and three synchronized swimming routines staged along the route – all of which were videotaped for exhibition display. Based in Victoria, where he is associate professor of visual arts and department chair at the University of Victoria, Walde is an award-winning artist, composer and curator with a particular interest in the “unexpected interconnections between landscape, identity and technology.” In 2013, he completed Requiem for a Glacier, a site-specifi c sound performance featuring a 55-person choir and orchestra live on the Farnham Glacier in the Purcell Mountains. Walde is a founding member of Audio Lodge, a Canadian sound art collective, and EMU Experimental Music Unit, a Victoria-based sound ensemble. touchstonesnelson.ca

22 FEB - MAR 2020 H FIRST THURSDAY OR LATE OPENINGS Hopping for Hope: Ahreum Lee THE NEW GALLERY, Calgary AB - To Feb 22 by Michael Turner Currently based in Montreal, Ahreum Lee is a South Korean– born interdisciplinary media artist who came to prominence fi rst as co-founder and frontwoman of the experimental art-rock band Juck Juck Grunzie before expanding her practice to include video and multimedia installation. A 2019 fi - nalist for the EQ Bank and Trinity Square Video–sponsored Emerg- ing Digital Artists Award, she has Ahreum Lee, Hopping for Hope, 2018, one-channel video exhibited and performed at the Darling Foundry, Studio XX and the Leonard & Bina Ellen Art Gallery as well as Third Shift festival and Axis Lab. In Hopping for Hope, Lee presents works that are, in her words, “an exercise in how I navi- gate myself towards a global identity as an immigrant, artist, and as a human being.” Through the use of gaming, Lee has focused her attention on Google’s global mapping methodology, specifi cally how digital technology and the internet contribute to the “disorientation of the diasporic experience.” On the topic of Google’s self-conception as a politically neutral tool, Lee maintains that “the depiction of regional borders shifts to refl ect the political reality of where Google Maps is being accessed from.” A notable video work in the exhibition plays o the arcade game Dance Dance Revolution. According to the gallery website: “It combines footage of the East Asian pseudoscience Cheok Ji Beob, ‘the way to make the world smaller,’ with screen captures from Street View. Those that immerse themselves in Cheok Ji Beob believe that through ritual practice and movement, they can fold space and time to ‘jump’ instantaneously from one place in the world to another.” For Lee, this jump comes with questions: “Do my thoughts travel with me, or belong to where I am?” thenewgallery.org

24 FEB - MAR 2020 H FIRST THURSDAY OR LATE OPENINGS Karin Jones & Amy Malbeuf: Labour’s Trace RICHMOND ART GALLERY, Richmond BC - Feb 15 - April 11 by Michael Turner Among our more remarkable recog- nitions of late is our expanded understanding and appreciation of labour. No longer that invisible thing we do outside the extraction of raw materials, the manufacture of goods or the provi- sion of services, labour can be “emotional” and “embodied” as well. For that we have artists like Karin Jones and Amy Malbeuf to thank. In this exhibition, long-time RAG curator Nan Capogna has paired two Photo: Anthony McLean artists of di erent backgrounds whose Karin Jones , Yoke (detail), 2017, steel, corn, sterling silver, cultures have borne the brunt of a brass, leather, handmade brass mount on wood panel common historical narrative: colonial- ism. Jones, who is of African–Nova Scotian heritage, is an interdisciplinary artist and educator with extensive metalsmithing experience. Malbeuf, who is of Métis ancestry, is a multidisciplinary artist who works with materials (beads, animal parts) and knowledge (tufting, tanning) passed on to her by mentors. According to Capogna, “The objects they make reinforce connections to their cultural histories while disabling destructive legacies and historic representations.” Through her pairing of leather horse tack, hominy (corn) kernels and human hair with handcrafted components of steel, silver and brass, Jones has created sculptures that conﬂ ate adornment (jewelry) and constraint (manacle). For Tarp (2017), Malbeuf researched trending fonts and, using glass beads, applied the work’s title in serif text to the corner of a commercial- ly produced tarpaulin, leaving the remainder of the polyethylene surface open to outcome. For Beaded Box (2017), the artist applied glass and plastic beads to a pre-made object; yet unlike Tarp, this cardboard system is designed to function best when closed.

28 FEB - MAR 2020 H FIRST THURSDAY OR LATE OPENINGS David Wojnarowicz: Photography & Film, 1978-1992 MORRIS AND HELEN BELKIN ART GALLERY, Vancouver BC - To April 5 by Michael Turner Since 2009, the Belkin has presented a number of exhibitions, events and publications focused on North American aesthetic and cultural production in the 1960s and ’70s. So what better way to mark the beginning of the 2020s than a fi rst step into what is arguably the most transformative decade of the 20th century: the 1980s? And what better artist to take that step with than David Wojnarowicz (1954-1992)? Courtesy of the Estate of David Wojnarowicz and P·P·O·W, New York and P·P·O·W, Courtesy of the Estate David Wojnarowicz Born into a dysfunctional New David Wojnarowicz, Arthur Rimbaud in New York Jersey family, Wojnarowicz left (pier, shooting up mural), 1978-79, photograph home in his mid-teens to live on the streets of New York City. In 1973, he took a job at Pottery Barn, where he met the writer John Ensslin, who introduced him to the city’s literary underground and encouraged his interest in art. While the rest, as they say, is history, it is a history that is as abject as it is glamorous. As his star rose, his health failed. When not making art, Wojnarowicz, who was diagnosed HIV-positive in 1988, was active in AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power (ACT UP) – until art and life were one. Included in this exhibition, the fi rst to focus on the artist’s photographs and fi lms, are over 100 works that range from test prints to collaborative videos. Most notable is the series Arthur Rimbaud in New York (1978-79), for which Wojnarowicz photographed friends wearing a mask with the face of the 19th-century French poet while they posed in locations throughout Man- hattan and Brooklyn. Here, according to the gallery, Wojnarowicz “anachronistically combines historical time, space and activity by fusing the French poet's identity with the modern urban activities and settings common to the queer community of the time.” belkin.ubc.ca

30 FEB - MAR 2020 H FIRST THURSDAY OR LATE OPENINGS David A. Neel's Memoir Traces His Homeward Journey UBC PRESS, 2019 by Latash-Maurice Nahanee The Way Home is a new memoir by David Neel, a renowned Northwest Coast artist from Vancouver Island. Early childhood traumatic events were overcome by a passion for art at an early age. His decades-long career spans photography, totem poles, and fi nely made gold and silver jewelry. Neel began his photography career in Texas, USA. Black-and-white photographs have a power to convey the character of a subject in a sixtieth of Courtesy of David Neel. a second. The Way Home is fi lled with David Neel with portrait mask of his grandmother Ellen Neel, portrait photographs taken on a life- who is recognized as being the fi rst woman totem pole carver long journey. They convey stories that cannot be told by words alone. We are invited into Neel’s visual creative journey through his words as well as photographs of carved masks and precious metal jewelry. A true master of Kwakiutl art, Neel carves deeply into wood or metal, and his work has a sculptural look and feel. In 1993, the canoe journey to Bella Bella led Neel to carve his own canoe. It also led him to Venice, Italy, where he was invited to take part in the Venice Biennale. Here, he would display his canoe by paddling it around the city. With canals providing the highway for city life, the canoe was the perfect venue to display his art. He also showed many of his carved masks in Venice. It was a mask that brought Neel home to Vancouver. While attending an art exhibition in Texas, Neel came across a mask made by his great-great-grandfather Charlie James. Neel writes: “I came to a display that contained a Northwest Coast Indigenous mask, the fi rst I’d seen other than in photographs. I could feel my connection to that mask as though it had an energy that made me need to know more – what it represented, where it came from, and who had carved it.” It turned out Neel had a deep connection to the person who had made the mask and the culture that informed its creation. The experience had a profound impact on Neel and lit the path back to his homeland. In- spired by the creativity of his famous Indigenous artist ancestors, Neel switched from photography to carving in red cedar, silver and gold. Creating within the artistic style of his ancestors, David Neel also continues their tradition of responding to contemporary issues. ubcpress.ca practice has focused on developing work by Prince George artist, museumofnorthernbc.com earth artworks constructed from sal- Wendy Framst. tue-sat 9am-5pm.

34 FEB - MAR 2020 ★ FIRST THURSDAY OR LATE OPENINGS Acts of Resistance: Indigenous Art and Environmental Activism in BC MUSEUM OF VANCOUVER, Vancouver BC - Feb 5 - July 2020 Photo: Greenpeace Canada Greenpeace Trans Mountain pipeline protest, the aerial blockade that took place at the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge on July 3, 2018

by Michael Turner On July 3, 2018, seven people lowered themselves and seven 40-foot pennant banners from the underside of the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge. These evocative banners, like those fl own from the bridges of sea-going warships, were designed by Indigenous artist activists from the Pacifi c Northwest. Among the seven who took part in the Greenpeace Trans Mountain pipeline protest’s aerial blockade of an outgoing oil tanker was Tsleil-Waututh grassroots leader and contributing artist Swaysn Will George. George’s fi rst-hand experience provided the basis for a video made in collaboration with another banner contributor, Ronnie Dean Harris. This video, along with the seven banners (six of which have been donated to the MOV, while George’s banner continues to be used for “public outreach”), form the core of an exhibition that, in the words of MOV Curator of Indigenous Collections and Engagement Sharon Fortney, demonstrates how “Indigenous activism and contemporary expressions of culture remain indistinguishable.” In the days following the protest, the MOV approached Greenpeace about the possibility of exhibiting the banners, which were taken into police custody (as evidence) immediately following their deployment. A month later, six of the banners were made available to the museum, with the blessings of Greenpeace and the contributing artists. Although badly wrinkled after the police had stu ed them into plastic bags, the banners have responded well to numerous conservation treatments and, despite a battle-worn wrinkle or two, are available to viewers in an “up-close and personal” fashion. In addition to those by George and Harris, Acts of Resistance features banners by Brandon Gabriel, Ocean Hyland, Jackie Fawn Mendez, Marissa Nahanee and Ed Archie Noisecat. museumofvancouver.ca preview-art.com PREVIEW 35

by Robin Laurence Beloved Canadian artist, educator and philanthropist Gordon Appelbe Smith died in his West Vancouver home on January 18, 2020, one hundred years and seven months after his birth in East Brighton, England. Smith, who migrated to Canada with his family when he was a teenager, studied at the Winnipeg School of Art and settled in Van- couver in 1944. Along with colleagues such as Jack Shadbolt, Takao Tanabe and Don Jarvis, he came to prominence in the 1950s and ’60s as a leading proponent of the West Coast’s lyrical, landscape-based abstraction. During the last few decades of his career, his often brushy and expressive paintings swung between the representation- al and the abstract, from scenes of dense foliage, snow-laden trees or forest-girdled ponds to black-on-black works that grieved the losses of war. Until recently, and despite declining health and di culties walking, Smith painted every day, and a memorable late photograph depicts him working in his studio while sitting in a paint-splattered wheelchair. Much honoured with exhibitions and awards during his lifetime, he will be remembered not only as an artist of immense skill and integrity, but also as the most generous of souls, giving endlessly to friends, colleagues, charities and art institutions. He was especially supportive of young artists and art education.

WITHCeramics of the Extraordinary FIRE preview-art.com PREVIEW 43 The Artist’s Studio is Her Bedroom CONTEMPORARY ART GALLERY, Vancouver BC - To April 5 by Michael Turner It is no small irony that Vancou- ver’s recognition as an art hub (see Phaidon’s Art Cities of the Future, 2013) came at a time when many of its artists were ﬁ nding it increasingly di cult to secure studio space, let alone living space. More recently, Rodney Graham’s $4.8-million chandelier (commissioned by a private developer and installed un- derneath a publicly owned bridge) was seen as the ultimate artwash.

Courtesy of the artist How timely, then, that the CAG has Erica Stocking, The Artist’s Studio: a real allegory summing up mounted an exhibition that, while seven years of my artistic and moral life, 2014 not in direct response to the exclu- sive city, can be read through its expensive lens. Inspired by participating artist Erica Stocking’s installation of the same name, this group exhibition “investigates the patriarchal conditions inherited from modernism, particularly as they have informed assumptions about how and where ‘serious’ artwork gets produced.” Of its 10 artists, all of them in various ways provide evidence of how their work is structured by the temporal and spatial constraints of a city whose built environment has been designed, manufactured and stage-managed by men. The Artist’s Studio is Her Bedroom marks the ﬁ rst time in recent memory that the CAG has mounted a large group show featuring the work of younger, somewhat lesser known Cana- dian artists – many of whom, if not living in Vancouver, are familiar with its predicaments. In addition to Stocking’s installation, the exhibition features work in sculpture, ceramics, sound, video, drawing, performance and participatory installations by Steven Brekelmans, Justine A. Chambers, Brady Cranﬁ eld, Maura Doyle, Claire Greenshaw, Leisure (Meredith Carruthers & Susannah Wesley), Annie MacDonell and Damla Tamer. contemporaryartgallery.ca

46 FEB - MAR 2020 H FIRST THURSDAY OR LATE OPENINGS Gohar Dashti: Dissonance WEST VANCOUVER ART MUSEUM, West Vancouver BC - March 18 - May 9 Courtesy of the artist Gohar Dashti, Home #4 (detail), 2017, digital photograph

by Michael Turner Nineteen-eighty was an extraordinary year for Iran. On September 22 the country was invaded by neighbouring Iraq; less than 18 months earlier, it had undergone a revolutionary transition from a 1,275-year-old authoritarian constitutional monarchy to a theocratic Islamic republic. Between revolution and war came Tehran-based Irani artist Gohar Dashti, who was born and raised near the Iran-Iraq border, in Ahvaz. While many Ahvazis fl ed the city for safe haven, Dashti’s family chose to stay, enduring a terrifying and violent eight-year confl ict. Dissonance comprises two bodies of photo-based work. In Dashti’s Stateless series, dispossessed occupants and observers negotiate inhospitable landscapes, where they build kitchens and living rooms amid a topography of arid deserts, treacherous mountain paths and toothy crevices. Yet despite these brutal conditions, her subjects – balanced between determination and despair – evince faint rays of hope. Dashti’s Home series provides an inverted, if not al- legorical, function. Here, plant life overtakes domestic space, as in Home #4 (2017), where a wheat fi eld thrives inside an ornately detailed living room. The pairing of Stateless and Home provides ample evidence of an artist for whom binaries like inside/outside, wild/domestic and belief/doubt are born not from religious or philosophical musings, but from the realities of a complicated internecine war. Equally complicated is Iran’s recent situation, where public outcry over the assassination of the country’s leading general was followed by the downing of a commercial airliner, sparking yet another outcry – this time in the opposite direction. westvancouverartmuseum.ca

La Decanatura, Centro Espacial Satelital de Colombia, 2015, video still by Christine Clark Centro Espacial Satelital de Colombia (2015) is a video work by the Bogotá-based artist collective La Decanatura, namely Elkin Calderón Guevara and Diego Piñeros Garcia. They received an artist residency award for their video during the 20th Contemporary Art Festival Sesc_ Videobrasil in 2018. Todd Eacrett of Deluge Contemporary Art explained that the gallery “will present the work primarily as a video looping installation … a large, immersive projection with full sound system to complement the musical nature of the work.” The video has been described as a requiem for the Space Communications Centre of Colom- bia, two towering, space-age antennas built in the early ’70s near the town of Chocontá, in Almeidas Province. Once vital to the communication needs of the people, providing TV, tele- phone and radio reception, these formerly high-tech antennas have fallen gently into a state of disrepair. Centro Espacial Satelital de Colombia shows the antennas standing in farmers’ ﬁ elds. We see a cow and her calf, tangled shrubs, hear birdsong and thunder. In the rain and mist, we also see the Chocontá Symphonic Youth Band. The youth are fresh-faced and dressed in white hooded space suits. They play a composition in tribute and farewell to the antennas. In a Videobrasil interview, Elkin Calderón Guevara said: “We have this thing that is basically dead, and we need something alive. This is how we mix the kids with the antennas, the technology with the music, the obsolete with the new.” deluge.ca

On exhibit will be six free-form sculptures in sheet metal. Measuring between 5 and 8 feet tall, the works are richly hued in various shades of red and blue. Built to withstand outdoor conditions, Young’s sculptures are normally installed on heavy concrete blocks, but in gallery will be bolted onto movable plinths. Inspired by Barbara Hepworth, whom Young describes as a personal hero, the work is a marvellous antidote to straight-line architecture. Besides being a sculptor, Young is an accomplished rower (winner of a silver medal at the 2002 Commonwealth Games) and local rowing coach; he spends time walking beaches every day and is deeply impact- ed by the endless fl uidity of the ocean. Richard Young, Form 1, 2019, paint on sheet metal

Young grew up in the UK, in a family of suc- cessful entrepreneurs and artists who design and manufacture beautiful objects for the home, including woollen carpets and textiles and amusing ceramic collectibles. A self-taught artist, Young is similarly motivated to create pleasing shapes. Before turning his attention to sheet metal, Young was renowned for his work in carving stone sinks from locally sourced boulders as luxury products for homes. The sculptor describes himself as an emerging artist and his work as a form of expression. A na- scent ballet dancer, Young says that the works in this show are an embodiment of his appreciation for physical movement, and especially for dance. Whether the ebb and ﬂ ow of the ocean, or the graceful attitude of the human form, dance and movement is Young’s ultimate inﬂ uence.

THE GLOBAL LANGUAGE OF HEADWEAR Whatcom Museum, Bellingham. Feb 1 - Apr 26 Independent ethnographic curator Stacey W. Miller has organized this exhaustive touring show of 89 hats and headdresses, organized into ﬁ ve themes: “Cultural Iden- tity; Power, Prestige and Status; Ceremonies and Celebrations; Spiritual Beliefs; and Protection.” These will be joined by examples from the Whatcom permanent collection, including Northwest Coast cedar bark hats. Forty-two countries are represented by ravishingly beautiful, mostly 20th-century examples of wearable art.

GREGG LAANANEN: NIGHT ON THE SUN Harris Harvey Gallery, Seattle. Feb 6 - 29 Gregg Laananen’s new paintings, thickly encrusted oils on wooden panels, materially echo their original subjects: earthy, darkly colored and teeming with life. For his third show at Harris Harvey, the University of Washington graduate focuses on long views and tight close-ups of natural subjects such as tree trunks, mushroom clumps and winter-blooming camellias. The American artist’s use of pointillist brushwork and ﬂ at-

Following his retrospective last year at the Woolaroc Museum in Oklahoma City, Angell has consolidated his expertise for meticulous identiﬁ cation and representation into tall panels that exalt vulnerable creatures.

58 FEB - MAR 2020 H FIRST THURSDAY OR LATE OPENINGS Close-Up: Leslie Anderson, New Nordic Museum Curator NATIONAL NORDIC MUSEUM, 2655 NW Market St, Seattle WA by Matthew Kangas Curator Leslie Anderson, a PhD candidate at the City University of New York writing her dissertation on Scandinavian art, seems the perfect ﬁ t for the National Nordic Museum, with its new building and new status. (Within months of the facility’s opening last year, the US Senate agreed to give the former Nordic Heritage Museum o cial status, renaming it the National Nordic Museum.) Anderson has an extensive record of research, curating and internships at venues including the Metro- politan Museum of Art, Indianapolis Museum of Art and National Gallery of Denmark. Her ties will help attract programming for the new building in Seattle’s historic Scandinavian neighborhood, Ballard. Now in charge of all in-house exhibitions Leslie Anderson and touring shows, Anderson mentioned in an interview how “programming must be a balance of subject matter—like a history museum—but include the ﬁ ne arts from the Nordic countries and North America.” The new year begins with a survey of turn-of-the-century Dan- ish-American tenement photographer Jacob A. Riis (to March 15). Surveys of Edvard Munch’s photography, Swedish fashion designers, and examples from the rapidly growing permanent collection will follow throughout the year. “With nearly eighty thousand objects, we are looking at possible gifts to strengthen the narrative of Nordic-American artists and the look of contemporary Nordic artists,” she explained. “We are thinking about borrowing art from countries that are less familiar here and developing and collaborating with partners here in the US which share the values of our collection, that is, an openness to new ideas; a connection to nature; issues of social practice; and artistic and technological innovation from Nordic countries.” nordicmuseum.org

Fuller. Today, after two previous renovations, the 64,250-square-foot building on Capitol Hill has achieved a new glory, at a cost of US$56 million. This includes a US$3.5-million grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to help fund the largest Asian art conservation lab in the Paciﬁ c Northwest. Besides ample daylight from ceiling skylights in other areas, the entry area, or Fuller Garden Court, now opens out at one end to the park beyond, allowing daylight into the court and the newly installed ceramics gallery behind it. Curators Xiaojin Wu and Ping Foong followed the lead of cutting-edge material culture museums such as the Quai Branly, in Paris, and the National Museum of African American History and Culture, in Washington, DC: related artworks are displayed across historical and geographical boundaries, instead of in the traditional country-by-country chronological ar- rangements. As a result, visitors can make cross-cultural comparisons easily. They can track, for example, the evolution of celadon glaze from China to Korea and Japan, or the representation of Buddha in countries such as China, Japan, Vietnam, India and Thailand. As both Wu and Foong pointed out, this arrangement (or layout) will emphasize “transmission” and “pluralism without stereotypes.” Three inaugural exhibitions mix historical and contemporary art from Asian countries: Bound- less: Stories of Asian Art joins Be/longing: Contemporary Asian Art and Gather, a sound-immersive installation by third-generation Seattle artist Kenzan Tsutakawa-Chinn. In Boundless, collection treasures are presented according to 13 themes, such as “Spiritual Journey,” “Blessings and Festivals,” and “Sacred Texts and Tales.” Notably, art from the Philippines, Iran and Azerbaijan, never before exhibited, may now be enjoyed in a sparkling new setting. seattleartmuseum.org/visit/asian-art-museum

ADAM SORENSEN: SKELETON PDX Contemporary Art, Portland. To Feb 29 Skeleton, a solo exhibition of paintings by Adam Sorensen, brings mountains of candy-colored lumpy lava with cartoon-white waterfalls and rainbow-reﬂ ecting lakes. Juxtapoz magazine said of Sorensen’s work: “These expansive vignettes are inﬂ u- enced by Adam’s interaction with the natural world, as well as his enthusiasm for old reference books. Ambiguity is an important aspect of Sorensen’s earthly allu- sions, and at their core, his paintings are built on abstract emotion, rather than an explicit narrative.” ADAM SORENSEN, FLUSSKELETT, 2019

CARRIE MAE WEEMS: THE USUAL SUSPECTS Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art, Eugene. To May 3 Portland-born photographer Carrie Mae Weems’ latest show focuses on recent events since the rise of the #BlackLivesMatter movement. She uses photography, video and installation to examine contemporary life and the African American experience. She asks, “How do you measure a life?” Some works pair police charge sheets with blurred photos of people in hoodies with their eyes blanked out. Other CARRIE MAE WEEMS, works include videos with chanting, Greek chorus–style, of named lives lost and ALL THE BOYS BLOCKED 1, 2016 poetry written by Weems.

DUNCAN BERRY. GYOTAKU: JAPANESE FISH PRINT MAKING Astoria Visual Arts, Astoria. Feb 8 - Mar 7 Duncan Berry’s monoprints are taken directly from fi sh, birds and plants from the Northwest coastline. In Japan in the 1800s, such prints were made with sumi ink and washi paper. Gyotaku originated so fi shermen could record their catches, but it has also become an art form of its own. Inspired by the tradition of 14th-century naturalists in Europe and 18th-century court artists in Japan, Berry’s images take the viewer on a journey from 5,000 feet down in the Pacifi c Trench to kelp beds near shore to the DUNCAN BERRY, GIANT PACIFIC OCTUPUS cli side nests of shorebirds.

ART AND RACE MATTERS: THE CAREER OF ROBERT COLESCOTT Portland Art Museum, Portland. Feb 15 - May 17 Robert Colescott (1925-2009) reintroduced the fi gure into his abstract work under the infl uence of Fernand Léger in Paris and found his voice after seeing the works of ancient Egypt in the fl esh. He was championed in Portland by gallerist and philanthropist Arlene Schnitzer in the 1960s and ’70s. He reworked masterpieces such as Pablo Picasso’s 1907 Les Demoiselles d’Avignon by blackfacing some of the female fi gures. His provocative focus on casual racism of the 20th century has aged well; now his ROBERT COLESCOTT, KNOWLEDGE OF THE PAST work is an easy lesson for the dominant class to see the errors of their parents’ ways.

Her new exhibition, Weave, has come about over a two-year period. During this time the artist pursued a residency in Senegal, West Africa, as well as a city-wide collaboration in Portland called Gather:Make:Shelter, which brings artists and houseless people together in a shared creative process.

Weaving together life and work in a contemplative manner, Louis’ artistic practice gestures toward healing. Through mixed-media artworks combining materials like silk, thread, acrylic and cotton, she creates a quiet, meditative aesthetic that speaks about the fundamental qualities of all living things. Her elegant pieces recall natural systems and are refl ective of biological patterning. The timeless, web-like motifs infuse spaces with a gossamer beauty, a calm hope and emotional levity.

72 FEB - MAR 2020 ★ FIRST THURSDAY OR LATE OPENINGS Christopher Marley: Exquisite Creatures OREGON MUSEUM OF SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY, Portland OR - To Feb 17 by Allyn Cantor Christopher Marley’s unique artworks are like eye candy for the nature lover. Using real specimens, he creates three-dimensional works with insects, minerals, animals and plants as his media. His clean, organized compositions reveal a kalei- doscope of beauty arranged in ge- ometries of color and pattern. From beetles and butterﬂ ies to snakes and ﬁ sh, his media span the globe, displaying a full spectrum inherent in nature, while broadening the appreciation for misunderstood species. Marley’s materials are responsibly

Courtesy of the artist sourced through a network of collec- Christopher Marley, Cerulean Genesis, 10/100 tions and institutions across the planet; he uses reclaimed organisms that have died from natural causes or are obtained in a sustainable manner. Before becoming an artist and naturalist, Marley began his career in the fashion industry, where he traveled worldwide and was able to collect unique materials. His strong background in design coupled with a love for discovering organisms led to Marley’s inventive style. The artist pays attention to the mechanics of color as well as genetically related organisms from di erent parts of the world in order to form striking visual relationships that tell a larger scientifi c story. Marley was raised in the Pacifi c Northwest, and his father bred rare Australian parrots. He kept the ones that died frozen because he could not bear to discard their beauty. This familial infl uence also plays a role in the evolution of Marley’s work. The artist has pioneered preservation techniques and uses a proprietary method to freeze-dry creatures so he can highlight their beauty. These divinely designed elements of nature are composed into elegant mosaic-like arrange- ments that pay homage to the spirit of the specimens. Marley’s artworks inspire us to think about conservation and the ancient connection between art, nature and science. omsi.edu Courtesy of the artist Christopher Marley working on one of his art pieces preview-art.com PREVIEW 73 PORTLAND SALEM tue-sat 10am-5pm.

74 FEB - MAR 2020 H FIRST THURSDAY OR LATE OPENINGS ART BOOKS AND EXHIBITION CATALOGUES OF INTEREST NOV FEB2018 MAR JAN 20202019

E.J. HUGHES PAINTS BRITISH COLUMBIA is the second book of a proposed trilogy, by Victoria’s Robert Amos, about the art and life of this beloved “folk realist” artist. Where the ﬁ rst volume focused on Hughes’ paintings and drawings of Vancouver Island, this richly illustrated and thoroughly researched book examines his wondrous depictions of other areas of BC. Amos documents Hughes’ sketching trips along the Inside Passage and into the Interior, and he closely describes the resulting drawings and paintings.

Hardcover, 204 pp., C$35. Published by TouchWood Editions and widely available.

LANDON MACKENZIE: RECOLLECTS is the slender catalogue to the recent West Vancouver Art Museum exhibition. Both contextualize the work of one of Canada’s leading contemporary painters within a very particular personal history: growing up in an art-ﬁ lled home in Toronto in the 1960s and inﬂ uenced by family friends such as Harold Town and Jock Macdonald. Early and recent works by Mackenzie are seen alongside works by important artists from her parents’ collection. With illuminating essays by Gerta Moray, Darrin Morrison and the artist.

Softcover, 30 pp., C$10. Available at the West Vancouver Art Museum, 604-925-7295.

CINDY SHERMAN is the major publication accompanying the National Portrait Gallery exhibition, at the Vancouver Art Gallery. Covering Sherman’s career, from her Untitled Film Stills through History Portraits, Masks, and Flappers, the book reveals the artist’s powerful use of her own face and body to probe identity, ap- pearance and representation. Essays by Erika Balsom, Magda Keaney, Rochelle Steiner and curator Paul Moorhouse also explore the forms Sherman hooks her photographic portraits to, from Old Masters paintings to fashion and pornography. Hardcover, 256 pp., C$30. Available at the Vancouver Art Gallery Store, shop.vanartgallery. bc.ca, 604-662-4706.

ELIZABETH MALASKA: OF MYTH OR OF MONDAY / DRINKING THE REFLECTION is a two-part exhibition catalog published for recent concurrent shows at Russo Lee Gallery, in Portland. Malaska curated Drinking the Refl ection – color images of the fl uid fi gurative-based works in this group show investigate the body as a fi lter of human experience. Malaska’s own paintings are framed by a conversation between the artist and Sue Taylor that explores psychological underpinnings of making and viewing paintings as well as the persistence of the medium.

Softcover, 22 pp., US$20. Available at Russo Lee Gallery, Portland, 503-226-2754.

CHIHULY: ON COLOR AND FORM is a beautiful new book highlighting the most deﬁ ning series of artworks from Dale Chihuly’s long career. Baskets, Seaforms, Macchia, Persians and Venetians are each presented in their own section. Sur- veying the individuality of his forms and groundbreaking use of color, 125 stunning photographs show Chihuly’s signature style of glass-blowing. Drawings and sketches as well as installation and studio shots complement the full-color plates. Includes an introduction by curator Davira S. Taragin and an artist chronology. Hardcover, 120 pp., US$28. Available at Chihuly Workshop, Seattle, chihuly.com/shop, 800-574-7272.
