Between January 2007 and June 2008, the Vancouver Art Gallery presented an outstanding series of exhibitions, drawing unprecedented critical attention and record- breaking crowds. 2007 opened with a focus on British Columbian artists, including solo exhibitions of B.C. Binning, a seminal figure in this province, and Fred Herzog, whose representations of Vancouver streets are important precursors to the work of contemporary Vancouver photographers. Photography continued to receive attention with Acting the Part: Photography as Theatre, which examined the theatrical nature of the medium since its inception.

The 2007 summer program offered a visual feast of exhibitions. Monet to Dalí: Modern Masters from the Cleveland Museum of Art—which attracted a record 220,000 visitors— was the most ambitious historical project ever undertaken by the Gallery. Presented at the same time were major solo exhibitions by American artist Andrea Zittel and Chinese artist Huang Yong Ping, which provided a stunning contemporary compliment to the unsurpassed master works by Cézanne, Picasso, Gauguin and others in Monet to Dalí.

The innovative linking of historical and contemporary art continued in the fall, with the presentation of paintings by a legendary American painter in Georgia O’Keeffe: Nature and Abstraction, as well as major mid-career solo exhibitions by London-based video artist Mark Lewis and acclaimed Vancouver artist Roy Arden, who also acted in a curatorial capacity for the concurrent exhibition Artist’s Choice: Roy Arden Selects From the Collection.

In the first six months of 2008, the Gallery presented a wide range of thematic considerations, from the exploration of a potent cultural symbol in The Tree: from the Sublime to the Social, to TruthBeauty: Pictorialism and Photograph as Art, 1845- 1945, which brought Pictorialist photography from four continents together for the first time, to KRAZY! The Delirious World of Anime + Comics + Video Games + Art, a groundbreaking international survey of artworks that have shaped the history of contemporary visual culture. The significance of performance art was highlighted in survey exhibitions of work by Zhang Huan and Rebecca Belmore, while other solo exhibitions included Kutlug Ataman: Paradise and Küba and Jeff Ladouceur’s inflatable figure Floater, a NEXT project suspended on the Georgia Street façade.

January 13 – April 29, 2007

Organized by the Vancouver Art Gallery

Curated by Ian Thom, senior curator, historical, Vancouver Art Gallery

This exhibition surveyed the career of Bertram Charles Binning, one of Canada’s foremost artists, architectural innovators and arts educators. A seminal figure in the arts in British Columbia from the late 1930s through the mid-1970s, B.C. Binning was at the forefront of West Coast art. He built an international reputation as a draftsman before turning to oil painting at the end of the 1940s. The first paintings were of nautical themes, characterized by reduced colour and a use of the painting’s flatness as a structural element. His later seascapes became increasingly stylized until, by the 1960s, he was painting purely abstract forms, seeking to express what he called “the great quiet spatial ideas.” Drawn from the Vancouver Art Gallery’s collection, this exhibition presented key examples of Binning’s drawings and paintings and reflected his enduring interest in architecture. It later toured throughout British Columbia.

TEMPORARY EXHIBITIONS 9 10 Fred Herzog, The Hub, 1958, Collection of the Artist, Courtesy of Equinox Gallery, Vancouver Fred Herzog: Vancouver Photographs

January 25 – May 13, 2007

Organized by the Vancouver Art Gallery

Curated by Grant Arnold, Audain Curator of British Columbia Art, Vancouver Art Gallery

This exhibition stands as the first major survey of this important Vancouver artist’s work. Born in Germany, Fred Herzog came to Vancouver in 1953. Since that time he has produced a substantial body of photographs, taking urban life in Vancouver—second-hand shops, vacant lots, neon signage, crowds of people—as his primary subject. Within his images, bodily gesture, the detritus of consumer culture and the architecture of the street take on a heightened resonance, as the impact of modernity becomes visible in the everyday life of the city. Herzog’s bold use of colour was unusual in the 1950s and 60s, a time when art photography was almost exclusively associated with black and white imagery. In this respect, his photographs can be seen as a pre-figuration of the “New Colour” photographers such as Stephen Shore and William Eggleston, who received widespread acclaim in the 1970s, and the work of contemporary Vancouver photographers.

TEMPORARY EXHIBITIONS 11 Acting the Part: Photography as Theatre

February 3 - May 21, 2007

Organized and circulated by the National Gallery of Canada

Curated by Lori Pauli, assistant curator of photography, National Gallery of Canada

Acting the Part: Photography as Theatre presented the first major historical survey of this highly creative form of photography. The exhibition traced the genre from its mid-nineteenth-century origins, through the Pictorialist tradition to the contemporary practices of artists such as Cindy Sherman, whose Untitled Film Stills stand at the crossroads of photography and performance and explore questions of female identity and stereotypes, and Jeff Wall, whose staged scenes from modern life presented as large-scale backlit transparencies reference both nineteenth-century painting and twentieth-century advertising.

April 5 – September 16, 2007

Organized by the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis

Curated by Philippe Vergne, chief curator, Walker Art Center

House of Oracles: A Huang Yong Ping Retrospective was the first retrospective of one of China’s most influential contemporary artists. This Chinese-born, Paris-based artist has created work that offers alternatives to a Eurocentric world view and dynamically navigates the divide between East and West, tradition and avant-garde. Working across diverse traditions and media, he fashions an artistic universe comprised of provocative installations that challenge the viewer to reconsider everything from the idea of art to national identity to recent history. His sculptures and installations—drawing on the Western legacies of Joseph Beuys, Arte Povera and John Cage, among others, as well as traditional Chinese art and philosophy—routinely juxtapose traditional objects or iconic images with modern references. This exhibition featured more than forty works, including drawings, sculptural objects and installations by Huang Yong Ping from 1985 to the present.

House of Oracles: A Huang Yong Ping Retrospective was organized by Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, and made pos- sible by generous support by Altria Group, E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation, étant donnés: The French- American Fund for Contemporary Art, and the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Inc.

TEMPORARY EXHIBITIONS 15 Emily Carr and the Group of Seven

May 12, 2007 - April 6, 2008

Organized by the Vancouver Art Gallery

Curated by Ian Thom, senior curator, historical, Vancouver Art Gallery

16 Installation view of Emily Carr and the Group of Seven Emily Carr first met members of the Group of Seven when she exhibited her work in the exhibition West Coast Art: Native and Modern. She was immediately struck by the work of the Group, particularly the work of Lawren Harris and A.Y. Jackson, and their acceptance of her as an important painter re-energized her career. Famously, Harris told Carr, who had felt unappreciated as an artist, “you are one of us.” Carr was soon included in exhibitions of Canadian art in Ottawa and Toronto and she was invited to exhibit with the Group in 1930. Emily Carr and the Group of Seven brought together key works by Carr and major canvases by members of the Group of Seven to investigate the important association between Carr and the Group in their common pursuit to capture the Canadian landscape through a modern approach to painting.

Artists: Franklin Carmichael, Emily Carr, Lawren Harris, A.Y. Jackson, Francis Hans Johnston, Arthur Lismer, J.E.H. MacDonald and Frederick Horsman Varley.

TEMPORARY EXHIBITIONS 17 Andrea Zittel: Critical Space

June 11 – September 30, 2007

Co-organized by the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston and the New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York. The exhibition has been made possible by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, a Federal agency; the patrons, benefactors, and donors to the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston’s Major Exhibition Fund; and the Peter Norton Family Foundation. The accompanying catalogue has been made possible by a grant from The Brown Foundation, Inc. of Houston with additional support from the Elizabeth Firestone Graham Foundation.

Co-curated by Paola Morsiani, Contemporary Arts Museum Houston and Trevor Smith, New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York

The first comprehensive North American exhibition to survey her work, Andrea Zittel: Critical Space presented the American artist’s interdisciplinary approach to artmaking that includes working as a designer, engineer, consultant and advocate, often using the corporate identity “A-Z Administrative Services.” For the last decade, Zittel has investigated fundamental aspects of contemporary life in Western societies, notably increased mobility, security, comfort and consumerist packaging. Her work consistently challenges even the most forward-thinking assumptions about the way we live and work in today’s world. The exhibition focused on the experimental character of the artist’s signature objects, equipment and projects. It highlighted models for and locations of alternative living, including her well known series of customized Escape Vehicles, Uniforms and Units that she has developed for specialized living, working and research.

Monet to Dalí: Modern Masters from the Cleveland Museum of Art represented the most comprehensive showing of European painting and sculpture in Vancouver in more than half a century. Drawn from the superb collections of the Cleveland Museum of Art, the exhibition consisted of more than 80 paintings, drawings and sculpture and included key examples from the European Modernist movement. Organized into four groupings, this exhibition covered a century of artmaking from 1864 to 1964 and showcased important work by the major Impressionists, Post-Impressionists, early Modern sculptors and avant-garde artists interested in Dada, Cubism and Surrealism. Most notably, the exhibition featured key works by Manet, Monet, Cézanne, van Gogh, Rodin, Picasso, Dalí and other renowned artists. Together, the works in this stellar collection illuminated the breadth of creativity in one of the most extraordinary epochs in the history of Western art.

Curated by Richard D. Marshall, New York

Georgia O’Keeffe: Nature and Abstraction presented a remarkable survey of the work of a legendary figure of twentieth-century art. Comprised of a selection of paintings that span the entirety of O’Keeffe’s career from 1918 to 1977, this presentation was the first solo exhibition of O’Keeffe’s work in Canada in more than fifty years. This important grouping of paintings offered a distinct look at her consistent determination to re-interpret recognizable objects through painted abstractions that express the essential elements of form, colour and allusion. A series of photographs of O’Keeffe, taken by her husband Alfred Stieglitz and by Todd Webb, were included in the exhibition. This extraordinary presentation of paintings and photographs offered a rare opportunity to view the life and work of one of America’s foremost artists.

Artists: Georgia O’Keeffe, Alfred Stieglitz and Todd Webb.

Over the past fifteen years, the London-based Canadian artist Mark Lewis has attracted widespread acclaim for his work in film. Lewis first began to work with film in the mid-1990s, incorporating the dazzling production values of Hollywood while calling attention to the way in which the vocabulary employed in cinema works upon its audience. Since the late 1990s, Lewis has worked within a distinctly minimal set of parameters, often dispensing with sound and limiting the duration of his work to about four minutes, the length of a standard roll of 35mm film stock. Presented directly on the walls of the gallery space, the exhibition presented a selection of Lewis’ film works, including Algonquin Park, September, 2001; Northumberland; and Off Leash, High Park, three works which were recently acquired by the Gallery.

Organized by the Vancouver Art Gallery

Curated by Dieter Roelstraete, curator, Antwerp Museum of Contemporary Art (MuHKA), Belgium

Over the past two decades, Roy Arden has become one of Canada’s most respected artists. His work has contributed significantly to Vancouver’s reputation as an important centre for contemporary photo-based art. This exhibition presented a mid-career overview of Arden’s multi-faceted practice and the diverse strategies used in his art from the early 1980s to the present. It encompassed the lyrical colour imagery of his early Fragments project, his work with archival images from the late 1980s, as well as the more recent photographs of the contemporary urban environment. Combining Arden’s activities as a photographer and video artist, as a scavenger-archivist of existing imagery and a producer of original pictures, and as an acute observer of local detail as it relates to urban life on a global level, the exhibition presented a comprehensive look at Arden’s complex and thematically rich body of work from the past quarter century.

TEMPORARY EXHIBITIONS 31 32 The Tree: From the Sublime to the Social

February 2 - April 20, 2008

Organized by the Vancouver Art Gallery

Curated by Daina Augaitis, chief curator/associate director with Emmy Lee, assistant curator, Vancouver Art Gallery

The tree occupies a central role in many cultures. It is especially meaningful in this country where the single tree has been a symbol of the solitary individual, and historically significant in the vocabulary of nation-building. The Tree: From the Sublime to the Social presented works that evidence the power of nature and others that consider today’s relationships to the natural environment and the resulting social, economic or environmental impact of these interactions. The exhibition was prompted by the recent donation of a photographic series by Jochen Gerz. It included works by local and international artists, and featured a major new site specific installation by Gabriela Albergaria.

Artists: Gabriela Albergaria, Vikky Alexander, Sybil Andrews, Karin Bubaš, Franklin Carmichael, Emily Carr, Andrew Dadson, Patricia Deadman, Kirsten Everberg, Jochen Gerz, Lorraine Gilbert, Máximo González, Rodney Graham, Arni Haraldsson, Lawren Harris, E.J.

This exhibition paired Paradise, for the first time, with Ataman’s 2004 Carnegie Prize-winning video installation entitled Küba, an equally powerful portrait of another utopian community, this one situated on the outskirts of Istanbul. The presentation of Paradise and Küba together offered a telling juxtaposition of two very different understandings of utopia.

Paradise was commissioned by the Vancouver Art Gallery; BAK, basis voor actuele kunst, and Treaty of Utrecht, The Netherlands; the Harris Museum and Art Gallery, Preston, England; Lehmann Maupin Gallery, New York, USA; and the Orange County Museum of Art, Newport Beach, USA.

The past few years have seen the emergence of broad public interest in comics, cartoons, anime, manga, graphic novels and video games. These fields are closely linked, often sharing similar narratives, characters and formal characteristics. KRAZY! The Delirious World of Anime + Comics + Video Games + Art was the first exhibition of its kind, a groundbreaking project that offered a dynamic international survey of modern and contemporary comics, graphic novels, manga, anime, animated cartoons, computer/video games and visual art, brought together in a single exhibition to explore their histories, their interrelation and their future trajectories.

Through powerful images that implicate the body, performances that address history and memory, and gestures that evoke a sense of place, Belmore is known for creating multi-disciplinary works that reveal a long-standing commitment to the politics of identity and representation. Rebecca Belmore: Rising to the Occasion, the artist’s first major mid-career survey exhibition, comprised a selection of work spanning the course of her significant 20-year career, drawing out connections between early performances and later sculptures, photographs and videos through recurring metaphors that are as provocative as they are poignant.

He moved to New York in 1998 and established himself as one of the most important and widely recognized expatriate Chinese artists. More recently, Zhang Huan returned to China and founded a studio in Shanghai, where he incorporates a broad range of media in the production of his work. The first museum survey of Zhang Huan’s work presented in Canada, Zhang Huan: Altered States encompassed major artworks produced over the last 15 years in Beijing, New York and Shanghai, and included more than fifty works of photography, sculpture and painting, tracing the experience of a singular artistic voice across diverse cultural domains.

TEMPORARY EXHIBITIONS 43 44 NEXT: Jeff Ladouceur

June 6 - September 7, 2008

Organized by the Vancouver Art Gallery

Curated by Jordan Strom, guest curator

Jeff Ladouceur creates allegorical figures that extend the language of cartoon slapstick while incorporating aspects of traditional children’s folktale illustration, the personified imagery of late- twentieth-century advertising and contemporary art. Floater, Ladouceur’s massive inflatable sculpture, spanned the columns of the Gallery’s Georgia Street façade. This large-scale installation coincided with the exhibition KRAZY! The Delirious World of Anime + Comic + Video Games + Art. Ladouceur was the seventh artist presented in NEXT: a Series of Artist Projects from the Pacific Rim, a program that highlights work previously unseen in Vancouver that seeks to engage the diverse practices of Pacific Rim artists.

47 48 Jeff Wall, Concrete ball, 2002, transparency in lightbox, Collection of the Vancouver Art Gallery, Purchased with funds from The Jean MacMillan Southam Major Art Purchase Fund 2007 / 2008 collection in review

The Vancouver Art Gallery acquired 374 artworks through purchase and donation in 2007 and the first six months of 2008, bringing the total collection to 9,480 works. Among the highlights were four works by Jeff Wall, including War game, a purchase made possible by the Audain Foundation, and Concrete ball, acquired with funds from The Jean MacMillan Southam Major Art Purchase Fund. In addition, a work from the series Children and Basin in Rome 2 were gifted by Michael Audain and Yoshiko Karasawa. As a result of these important acquisitions, the Gallery now has the largest institutional collection of Jeff Wall’s work in the world.

The Gallery’s collection of contemporary art continues to expand dramatically. Artists made very significant donations, including Vancouverites Neil Campbell, Stan Douglas, Gathie Falk, Carole Itter and Ken Lum, as well as donations from Jochen Gerz, Evelyn Roth, Jessica Stockholder and Lawrence Weiner. Through matching funds provided by a Canada Council Acquisitions Assistance Grant in 2007, artworks by Arabella Campbell, Marian Penner Bancroft, Judy Radul and Mark Ruwedel were purchased. Through the assistance of LOCATION: a roving collective for the acquisition of visual art for permanent collections, the Gallery acquired Hadley+Maxwell’s BILLY: Décor project in the home of Jonathan Middleton, Curator, Western Front, 2002, as a result of donations from 87 individuals.

The Gallery was also fortunate to receive a bequest of 54 works by B.C. Binning from the estate of the artist’s late widow, Mrs. Jessie Binning. The collection of late 19th and early 20th century Canadian paintings was enhanced through the donation of works by Henri Beau, Arthur Lismer, Frederic Marlett Bell-Smith, John Hammond, Otto Reinhold Jacobi, Henrietta Mabel May, Charlotte Schreiber, Homer Watson and Robert Whale. Many of these donations were made possible by the generosity of Dr. Restrepo.

The institution’s impressive collection of photography continued to grow significantly with historical works by Margaret Bourke-White, Peter Henry Emerson, Paul Haviland, David Hill & Robert Adamson, William Henry Jackson, Gertrude Käsebier, Alfred Steiglitz, William Henry Fox Talbot and Clarence White. Other recent donations include gifts from the estate of Rosemary Scudamore, a Lionel Thomas painting donated by Wendy Grover and a gift of two Takao Tanabe prints from Anona Thorne.

The collection benefitted from the generosity of many collectors, especially Michael Audain and Yoshiko Karasawa, Claudia Beck and Andrew Gruft, Bill Jeffries, and Alison and Alan Schwartz. The Vancouver Art Gallery is extremely grateful to the many donors who support the growth of the Gallery’s collection.

74 Knowledge Network Financial Statements of Vancouver art gallery association Year ended June 30, 2008 [18 months]

AUDITORS' REPORT To the Members of the Vancouver Art Gallery Association

We have audited the balance sheet of the Vancouver Art Gallery Association (the “Association”) as at June 30, 2008 and the statements of operations, changes in net assets and cash flows for the 18 months then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Association’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Association as at June 30, 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the 18 months then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. As required by the Society Act (British Columbia), we report that, in our opinion, except for the change in the method of accounting for financial instruments as explained in note 2 to the financial statements, these principles have been applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.
