www.newzones.com Joshua Jensen-Nagle and Andrepreview Kertész NEWZONES GALLERY, CALGARY AB – Feb 3-Mar 3 NewZones introduces the work of up-and- coming photo artist Joshua Jensen-Nagle in a solo exhibit during Exposure, the Banff-Calgary month long photography event. The New Jersey-born artist graduated from Ryerson Polytechnic Institute in 2003 and is known for his experimentation with image formats, low-tech production techniques and materials. Jensen-Nagle’s recent photographs capture blurry impressions of the city outskirts, highway overpasses and vacant industrial lots. By shooting with expired Polaroid film and a soft-focus lens, he seeks to imbue the urban landscapes with an “implausible romanticism”. Produced as inkjet prints on watercolour paper and finished with a coat of polymer resin, the images have the aura of paintings. Shown alongside the landscapes is an additional series of wild and domestic animal images taken at the Natural History Museum in New York. The spooky animal forms glow as if by radiation against murky backgrounds, underscoring the surrealism of zoo practice in a contemporary world. NewZones is also featuring photographs by the legendary Hungarian-born American photographer Andre Kertész (1894-1985). Many of Kertész’s modernist images, for example The Fork, Esztergom, Swimmer, the Park Bench and Mondrian's Atelier, are among the most famous photographs of this century. Kertész perfected and popularized the art of hand-held photography over seventy years ago, and his work influenced new generations of Joshua Jensen-Nagle, Compassion (2006), pigment print on panel with resin [NewZones Gallery, Calgary AB, Feb 3-Mar 3] photojournalists.

brianscottfineart.com www.kelownamuseum.ca Equus Caballus by Jane Everettpreview KELOWNA MUSEUM, KELOWNA, BC – Feb 22-Jun 7 Equus Caballus curated by Gayle Liman features a versatile body of work by Kelowna artist Jane Everett focussing on the theme of the thoroughbred race horse. Included are drawings, oil on panel, oil and chalk on linen canvas, as well as sculpted chan frons (horse face armour) created from kitchen utensils. The latter include both metal sculptures and strange drawings of face decorations made from egg beaters, whisks and slotted spoons. They simultaneously refer to the horse’s long history in battle and project a post-apocalyptic feeling. The oil paintings seek to capture a sense of speed and light through traditional drawing and painting techniques. These works are supplemented by representations of Jane Everett, Armor For A Work Horse II (2006), conté, horses in early cave drawings from Lascaux and graphite on mi-tent [Kelowna Museum, Kelowna, BC, Feb Chauvet, aboriginal pictographs, chalk drawings 22-Jun 7] from the Renaissance and photographs from the Museum’s archives, all featuring the horse and its historical relationship to people. Winnipeg-born Jane Everett received her BFA from Queen’s University and her paintings have been exhibited in private and public galleries across Canada. Her work can be found among the corporate collections of Royal Canada Securities, the BC Cancer Foundation, The Golf Hall of Fame in Toronto and Investors Group in Winnipeg. Her work is available at Herringer Kiss Gallery in Calgary, The Art Ark in Kelowna, Hampton Gallery in Kamloops and Artworks in Vancouver. Mia Johnson

www.saag.ca Just My Imagination preview SOUTHERN ALBERTA ART GALLERY, LETHBRIDGE AB – through Mar 4 Just My Imagination presents recent works by fourteen Canadian artists whose medium of choice is drawing. Featured artists are Stephen Andrews, Sheila Butler, Lucie Chan, Cathy Daley, Raphaëlle de Groot, Michelle Gay, Ed Pien, Luanne Martineau, Jason McLean, Alison Norlen, John Scott and Team Apocalypse, Candice Tarnowski, David Tomas and Anna Torma. Together, the artists have an impressive list of credentials including university teaching positions, Sheila Butler, Essential Tremor (2002) mixed media on fabric prestigious residencies, national gallery exhibitions and paper [Southern Alberta Art Gallery, Lethbridge AB, and international exposure. through Mar 4] Primarily figurative, the pieces selected for Just My Imagination include works on paper in traditional media, as well as cross-discipline artworks employing textiles, sculpture, digital media and performance. They are not intended to be preparatory, but are self-sufficient artworks that “envision a world where psychic, social and material processes are intimately entwined”. Many of the artists practice serial drawing and collaborative participation. The resulting imagery is described as “alternately familiar and estranged, direct and mediated, seductive and grotesque”. The exhibition was curated by Kim Moodie and David Merritt, and is organized and circulated by Museum London and the MMB Collective. The primary objective of the Southern Alberta Art Gallery Association is to foster the work of contemporary artists who challenge the boundaries of their disciplines. The gallery, now one of the most prominent in Canada, has been particularly influential over the past 30 years in promoting drawing as an art form. Mia Johnson

The Academy traditionally taught figurative painting rooted in a state-mandated style of social realism until the reunification of Germany in 1989. Neo Rauch, the only artist in this show who studied at the East German academy before the fall of the Berlin Wall, was very influential on younger artists, whom he later taught at the academy. Tilo Baumgärtel, Tim Eitel, Martin Kobe, Christoph Ruckhäberle, David Schnell and Matthias Weischer, who studied in the 1990s, reformulated and redefined the resonating pedagogy of realism and figurative painting. This group of New Leipzig painters share technical and thematic interests, although they are easily distinguished by stylistic and conceptual differences. In Neo Rauch’s scenes, moody characters inhabit obscure

industrial locations and suggest an ongoing narrative. With a COLLECTION OF THE RUBELL FAMILY COURTESY somber tone, his compositions and chromatic choices are Neo Rauch, Demos (Demonstrations) (2004), dreamlike and retro. Tim Eitel’s pieces also have imagined oil on canvas [Frye Art Museum, Seattle WA, settings. Juxtaposed with familiar people, Eitel’s pieces reveal a Feb 17-Jun 3] stark austerity with an abstract perception of spatial depth. Martin Kobe's work abstracts space through layers of structured forms and painterly planes that depict elaborate architectural elements. The post-Cold War paintings in this exhibition reflect the turbulence of a rapidly changing society that did not necessarily adopt common trends from the west. The seven artists have unavoidable roots in a provincial ideology bridged by visual elements such as an ambiguous sense of place, surreal architecture and feelings of isolation or indifference.

The Greeks and the Romans originated public art display and also provided architectural prototypes for ‘the gallery’ that have come down, almost unchanged, to the present. The temple-fronts of the Athenian Parthenon and the Roman Pantheon, when extended by wings on either side, become suitable models for law and government buildings, royal and presidential palaces and large art museums. Buckingham Palace in London is a well-known case in point. It was the residence of the Dukes of Buckingham until becoming the English monarchy’s principle London dwelling in 1830. The Royal Collection, which is now available for public viewing, is housed there. The Louvre (which was the home of King Louis the 14th DONOVON PHOTO: GREGORY Pyramid du Louvre, Louvre Museum, Paris in Paris before he moved his court to Versailles) became a pub- (1989), architect: I.M. Pei lic art and artefact venue in 1793, and unlike Buckingham Palace, has been transformed over time. The French Renais- sance ‘back’ of the Louvre, which opens onto a huge courtyard was the entry, until I.M. Pei’s 1989 glass pyramid entrance posi- tioned at the centre of the plaza, surplanted it. The pyramid provides dramatic access to the entire museum and to new, below- ground galleries. This dramatic structure was the first of many attention-grabbing, unprecedented art gallery concepts that have become highly successful tourist magnets in recent years.

Several of these influential models are galleries that were PHOTO: MILLER HARE, ROM built ‘from scratch’.

20 PREVIEW ★ OPEN LATE ON FIRST THURSDAYS original work of sculpture. Two civic galleries that Preview covers have expanded beyond the capacities of their Deco ‘art palaces’. The Portland Art Museum extended one of its facades but kept most of the original structure. Boston architect Ann Beha’s addition makes no aesthetic allusion to the style of the PAM and is Portland’s Center for Modern and Contemporary Art. The Seattle Art Museum took a different tack. Its famous holdings of Asian Art remain in the old building in Volunteer Park. In 1991 a new building designed by Robert Venturi for it’s collection of contemporary art was built downtown. Having grown out of that space, SAM has joined with Western Washington Mutual to create a mixed-use project on their jointly owned Union Street land parcel next door to the Venturi building. The Post-modern structure designed by Brad Cloepfil of Portland’s Allied Works Architecture opens onto First Avenue. The subtle curving façade and mullioned windows in its entry echo features of the original art palace. In Canada, we await the 2007opening of Frank Gehry’s block-long extension to the Art Gallery of Ontario increasing Guggenheim Museum Bilbao (1997), Bilbao, its capacity to 486,000 square feet.

The Crystal (designed by Daniel Libeskind which recently won the World Trade Centre Competition) will be finished in 2007 The ‘new’ Vancouver Art Gallery had a previous life as the 1912 Courthouse designed by Frances Mawson Rattenbury. Arthur C. Erickson Architects transformed it, in 1983, into an art palace that from the Robson Street side bears a resemblance to Buckingham Palace’s Main Entrance. Rumour has it that the Model for the Art Gallery of Alberta renovation, VAG must soon find additional space.

Pei’s Pyramid in Robson Square? architect: Randall Stout Elsewhere in Canada, the new Art Gallery of Alberta in Edmonton is being designed by former Frank Gehry associate Randall Stout. The very ‘tactile’ maquette presages an exciting art facility for this important and growing western city. Although I’m sorry to say goodbye to the tried and true art palace, the recently conceived facilities for the display of art and artefacts are dynamic civic amenities. ■

Comparable to structures found in the forest, Cooper’s life-size forms resemble tree trunks and other natural patterns. The Chicago-based artist creates her sculptures by gluing together layer upon layer of wood veneer that she salvages from milling plants and furniture factories. The resulting forms parallel the regenerative and resilient qualities of the natural world. Cooper is interested in how a living form evolves from one condition to another. Her use of recycled wood is symbolic of this transformation, turning the discarded industrial material into new forms akin to it’s

original source. Not only does Cooper’s OF ALFEDENA GALLERY COURTESY approach echo the tenacity of life, her Barbara Cooper, Surge (2002, wood, glue [Bellevue Arts Museum, undulating forms move through space WA, through Apr 22] creating a sense that time has passed as in an old growth forest. The twists, grooves and contours of her sculptures suggest a vitality that reflects the relationship between a living thing and it’s response to the environment. In both method and material Cooper’s work embodies this quality of adaptability essential for survival. Barbara Cooper’s work is included in many prominent collections including the Smithsonian National Museum of American Art in Washington, D.C. and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago. This exhibition includes a full-colour catalogue. Allyn Cantor

The Lions, Euan Macdonald, Brandon Thiessen, Zachariah Rockhill and David Carter work in different media, including drawing, video, photography and sculpture. Pieces by each artist showing their responses to different kinds of disaster and misfortune have been selected for the theme. The Vancouver-based Lions (Matthew Brown, Tasha Brotherton, Barry Doupe, Collin Johanson, James Whitman) are arguably one of the more interesting collaborative groups. Meeting weekly since 2003 to work on shared drawings, they have amassed hundreds of 8.5 x 11 inch drawings – “odd mish-mashes of genre, style, narrative experiment, fantasy and spectacle”. Euan Macdonald’s GAD David Carter, Explosure (2006), c-print [Tracey Lawrence (2004) is a single channel video that captures three Gallery, Vancouver BC, through Mar 3] guitars gradually falling with a crash to the ground. In a mixed-media installation, Brandon Thiessen confronts the viewer with a small installation that suggests functionality, but is ultimately nonsensical. Zachariah Rockhill presents This Side Down, (Damn if I Know), (2006), another single channel video. The theme explores the idea of predicting and complying with failure. In his C-print titled Explosure (2006), David Carter creates an illusion of a magician conjuring an explosion between his hands. With a little help from their authors, these artworks celebrate improvisation, staging, spontaneity and the inevitability of change over time. Mia Johnson

She has been described as a “conceptual realist” for her informed use of a number of artistic styles, techniques and themes. Her work has variously focussed on singers, dancers and still life imagery. A unifying theme in her work has been the idea of the “diva” as a metaphor for mankind striving to reach the perfect note. Jacobi’s exhibition at the Jewish Community Centre is comprised of paintings of musicians. While many of the musicians are adult, several are of children making music. The central image in the show, “The Yellow Kathryn Jacobi, The Yellow Room (2005), oil on Room”, depicts a young child practicing the violin. The canvas, diptych [Sidney and Gertrude Zack Gallery, Jewish Community Centre, Vancouver BC, through painting, like several others in the exhibit, suggests the Mar 4] thriving continuum of European culture as transmitted through its music. Although the figure is bathed, Vermeer-like, in a wash of sunlight falling through the window, the acid-green shorts and yellow soccer shirt belie the centuries. Its currency is further suggested by a break in the image where a contemporary diptych separates the feet. Kathryn Jacobi divides her time between Santa Monica, California and Sechelt, BC. Her paintings and drawings have been exhibited in museums, universities, and galleries in Berlin, Denmark, Madrid, Toronto and Vancouver, as well as throughout the United States. Solo exhibitions include such prestigious galleries as the Kunst pa Kalvo in Jutland Denmark; the Fresno Art Museum in California; Judische Gallery, Berlin; the Jan Baum Gallery, Los Angeles; and the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery. Jacobi has exhibited with the Diane Farris Gallery in Vancouver since 1993. Mia Johnson

Chapter 9. The Case of Camaldoli. Recently, I visited a client to appraise a small collection of paintings. At the conclusion of my visit as I was about to leave the lady of the house asked my opinion of a painting which she had inherited. The work was framed, under glass and appeared to be egg tempera on paper. It measured approximately 12 × 17.5 inches was unsigned, however the word Camaldoli written in pencil, appeared at the bottom centre in the border. The piece was in good condition except Artist Unknown, Camaldoli for some minor lifting of the medium. My initial reaction was that this was an extraordinary spiritual and contemplative work of an idealized landscape executed by a competent and skilled practitioner; reminiscent of 18th C. landscape painting and appeared to be of European origin. I told her I would look into it further and report my findings. My research soon revealed a very similar image, entitled Vue de l'île d'Ischia, prise du couvent des Camaldoli de Naples (View of the island of Ischia taken from the Camaldoli Monastery of Naples) circa 1760 by Pietro Fabris (active 1768-1779), which appeared as a hand-coloured etching, plate XVII, in an 18th C. publication entitled Campi Phlegraei ou Observations sur les Volcans des Deux Siciles, (Campi Phlegraei or Observations on the Volcanos of the Two Sicilies) by William Hamilton, Naples 1776-1779. Pietro Fabris had been employed by Hamilton to paint specific images of areas of volcanic activity for inclusion in his book. The image depicts a view from the Camaldoli Monastery across the Campi Flegrei (Flegrei Fields) toward the island of Ischia, which appears in the background. Campi Flegrei also known as the Phlegrean Fields (Greek for “burning fields”), is a large caldera area situated in the west area of Naples, Italy. The Holy Hermitage and Monastery of Camaldoli are situated in a thousand year-old forest of the Tuscan- Pietro Fabris, Vue de l'île d'Ischia, prise du Romangese Appennines, founded between 1024 and 1025 by couvent des Camaldoli de Naples St. Romuald. Ischia is a volcanic island in the Tyrrhenian Sea, at the northern end of the Gulf of Naples. It is almost entirely mountainous with the highest peak being volcanic Mt. Epomeo, which was active in Classical times. Further research yielded an image by an unidentified artist, which depicts an almost identical view in the Camaldoli picture. In my opinion this image and the Camaldoli picture were painted by the same artist and were of the same view, painted from a similar location. Thus the title of the Camaldoli picture appears to be Vue de l'île d'Ischia, prise du Artist Unknown, probably Vue de l'île d'Is- couvent des Camaldoli de Naples. chia, prise du couvent des Camaldoli de It is interesting to note that the view of the Gulf of Naples Naples and over the Phlaegrean Fields inspired the artistic production of a whole generation of landscape painters from the 19th century, who were known as the “Scuola di Posillipo” (Posillipo School). The Posillipo School included such important painters as Anton Smink Pitloo, Giacinto Gigante and Teodoro Duclère.

Described as “80,000 photographs, 50 years, 1 photographer and 1 city”, this exhibition features about 100 images spanning the artist’s career. Since 1953, Herzog has produced colour photographs of Vancouver’s street life, shops, shoppers, neon signs, cars and buildings. Curator Grant Arnold writes, “Acting as a narrator, he presents a dispassionate view of the city as a site of tradition and change, collection and dispersion, production, expenditure and alienation.” Herzog's work is important for his early use of Kodachrome slide film and his depictions of everyday urban life. His techniques and subject matter, combined with his teaching at both Simon Fraser University and the University of British Columbia, influenced subsequent generations of the Vancouver conceptual photographers. Herzog's work may be seen as a precursor to that of urban photographers Roy Arden, Karin Bubaˆs, Christos Dikeakos, Fred Herzog, Hastings and Columbia Street, Arni Haraldsson and Jeff Wall. Vancouver (1958), chromogenic print Herzog’s photographs were exhibited at the National [Vancouver Art Gallery Vancouver BC, through Gallery of Canada in Ottawa in 1970 and later at Vancouver’s May 13] Presentation House Gallery, Vancouver Art Gallery and the University of British Columbia Fine Arts Gallery. With the advent of digital technologies and large-scale reproduction, his work reaches a new audience in this landmark exhibition. Herzog’s photographs are on exhibit at Equinox Gallery, Vancouver, BC from Feb 8-Mar 10. Mia Johnson

On small format canvasses, she has captured red peppers, yellow roses, the veins of leaves and tropical flowers, daffodils, mangos and pastel pottery, as well as less exotic glimpses of lumpy pillows and the rumpled sheets of unmade beds. A witty character and a sense of robust cheerfulness permeate her work. Wood’s current series of paintings has the arbutus tree as subject matter. Shed annually in dramatic abstract patterns, the thin, peeling bark of this unusual West Coast tree inspired her to experiment with strong illusionism and dynamic colour combinations. Working from more than 150 photographs she shot at Bennett Bay on Mayne Island, Wood has Madeleine Wood, Arbutus Abstract, (2006) oil on canvas, [Ian Tan created an extensive series of abstractions on Gallery, Vancouver BC, Feb 3-22] this beautiful theme. Wood graduated from the Emily Carr College of Art and Design in 1993 and earned her Master of Fine Arts at Concordia University in 1996. She has had four previous solo shows and participated in 18 group shows. From her studio in the Commercial Drive area of Vancouver, she has been active in the Eastside Culture Crawl and numerous other community events and festivals as an artist, juror, curator and administrator.

She copied classical statues, studied drawing, painted portraits and still- life. Her work of this period offers a comparative view to her later emotional and rhythmic work that developed from the influence of the Fauvists, the Post- Impressionists, and the experience of plein- air painting in France and Britain. This still-life, Peaches, was given as a Before treatment wedding present by Emily Carr to family friends in San Francisco. Peaches has been subjected to variable environmental and storage conditions. The activity of water and dirt has resulted in a dry and embrittled canvas support. Paint has lifted along the edges of raised crack lines. The weakened paint layer has formed cup shaped segments with curled edges, lifting areas resulting in small paint losses. Objects leaned against the artwork caused small holes and tears. The overall structure of the artwork was weakened and delicate. The initial treatment of Peaches was After treatment concerned with making fragile areas safe before other treatment could ensue. The lifting and partially delaminating paint was stabilized by injecting adhesive underneath paint segments and infusing it into cracks to hold the paint layer in place. After preparation, humidification treatments helped ease the raised cracks and distorted paint layer towards a more uniform surface while maintaining the painting’s surface character. Frayed threads along the tears and small holes were repositioned and interwoven into place. Additional canvas threads were integrated to strengthen the joint lines of tears and woven in to create an insert for the holes. Adhesive solution was applied to the back and allowed to migrate through the painting’s layers and then activated to strengthen the overall structure of the artwork. The stretcher was cleaned and the painting re-stretched. Peaches was cleaned using custom solutions selected specifically to remove the dirt, grime and darkened varnish on its surface. Areas of paint loss were minimally filled and inpainted with reversible, museum quality materials. The painting was varnished to protect and saturate the colours of the composition. Structural treatment focuses on the physical activity of materials and the condition of an artwork. Treatments can be simple or a series of complicated processes used to stabilize a particular area or entire painting. A conservator’s goal is to observe, study, and direct their efforts to maintain an artwork’s integrity and to preserve its history.

In the current body of work, Imperfect Pictures, Froese bases large portraits on archival photographs from 19th century colonial history in Canada. In many paintings, life-scale figures emerge from the photographic field to stand like phantoms before the viewer. In others, shadowy heads come into focus against empty prairie landscapes. Others are headless. The images are eerie and disturbing not only for the subject matter – it is clear the prospectors, pioneers and profiteers portrayed in his work are dead now, with a sensibility reminiscent of mid-1800s death portraits – but also for the emphasis on photographic flaws. Influenced by daguerreotypes, tintypes and pinhole imagery, Jason Froese, Settlers #1 (2006), oil on Froese seeks to capture the ambience and imperfection of early canvas [Elliott Louis Gallery, Vancouver photography. Where the language of photography traditionally BC, Mar 22-Apr 8] celebrates light and surface texture, these images feel flat and emphasize photographic deterioration by scratches and dirt. As he puts it, “Painting the flaws found in the photographs that capture these figures is an act that challenges the romantic.” The deteriorated effects found in early cinema also inspire his abstract marks.

Peculiar Culture: The Contemporary Baroque is curated by Lisa Baldissera, the AGGV Curator of Contemporary Art, and explores contemporary expressions of the Baroque. It features the work of Victoria-based artist Luanne Martineau and British artists/Turner prize nominees Jake and Dinos Chapman. The works in this show do justice to the Baroque’s reputation as an opulent era of grotesquery and extravagance. The memorable woolly pieces of Victoria artist Luanne Martineau are strangely beautiful yet utterly repulsive. She manages to make apparently innocent assemblages of pulled felt appear inviting, comic and simultaneously taboo. Combining traditional women's handiwork and references to the erupting and undisciplined body, Martineau, an MFA graduate of the University of British Columbia (1995) addresses social realism, racism and high modernism’s conceit in her disturbing felted wool objects. Collaborative artists Jake and Dinos Chapman are renowned for sculptures, prints and installations that examine contemporary politics, religion and morality through the lens Luanne Martineau, Nancy (2005) felt, yarn and of historical artworks. In this exhibit, they combine beauty, teak [Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, Victoria BC, perversity, humour and horror in their recreation of Goya’s through Feb 25] series of etchings ‘The Disasters of War’.

He has been an important figure in contemporary sculpture since the 1950s. Murray was born in Vancouver in 1936 and raised in Saskatoon. He studied painting at the University of Saskatchewan School, 1955 to 1958, and attended the Emma Lake workshops where he befriended Barnett Newman. He moved to New York City in 1960 where, through Newman, he met other artists and critics of the abstract expressionist generation. Anthony Caro, David Smith and Barnett Newman all have influenced his work. During the 1970s, Murray began to incorporate more curved, folded and twisted forms into his art. He worked with fabricators to produce large-scale structures with Robert Murray, Kawaatebiishing (2003), cedar, industrial finishes, many intended for exterior aluminum and steel [Art Gallery of South Okanagan, installation. This exhibition features one major Penticton BC, Mar 13-May 13] sculpture, sixteen smaller working models and installation photographs. The working models reveal the breadth of Murray's extensive oeuvre and show his interest in flight and flying. They demonstrate the best qualities of his style: a sense of industrial engineering, a topography of planes and angles, and an uncompromisingly masculine treatment of volume and surface. Murray’s painted steel and aluminium sculptures have been widely exhibited in Canada and the United States. A retrospective exhibition was mounted in 1999 by the National Gallery of Canada. He currently teaches in New York, Pennsylvania and Delaware. Mia Johnson

Using his signature lacquers and solvents in electric colours, he currently creates large-scale organic paintings. Described as supernatural and pychotropic, the new works teem with imaginary plant forms and flying creatures painted in brilliant colours. They have a light touch – gentle, frolicking, almost tender. While decorative in reproduction, they are spectacular in person, dominating and enveloping the viewer in strange “forests” and fields of alien shapes. They are hallucinatory and plasmatic. Feuz was born in Vienna, Austria in 1968 and lives in Geneva, Switzerland. He studied at the Ecole Superior des Beaux Arts in Geneva. His work has been exhibited at Thierry Feuz, Over the Rainbow (2006), lacquers galleries in Berlin, Brussels, Geneva, New York City, Paris, and solvent [Jacana Gallery, Vancouver BC, San Francisco and Zurich.

Her work employs macro images of such laboratory specimens as animal embryos, insects, bones and most recently, marine algae from a herbarium in Friday Harbor, Washington. Kornberg’s newest series, Open Places, has a slightly softer tone, but retains the strange and elegant beauty that defined her previous work. Created with samples of pressed plant material from an early 20th century archive, the images have an antique appearance on yellowed paper with old-fashioned handwriting and irregular, faded edges. By juxtaposing the organic lines of grasses and stems, Kornberg adds what appear to be stark strips of tape. Her fresh perspective on these labelled and preserved organisms is captured with luminosity and delicate observation. Later in 2007, The Art Gym at Marylhurst University will hold a fifteen-year retrospective of Kornberg’s photographs. Her work is included in many prestigious collections, such as the American Embassy in Belize, the International Center for Dianne Kornberg, Onion (2006), Digital Photography in NY, the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, the pigment print on rag paper, edition of 15 Art Museum at Princeton University, NJ, and both the Portland [Elizabeth Leach Gallery, Portland OR, and Seattle Art Museums.

Pfaff, author of Exit-Voice Dynamics and the Collapse of East Germany: The Crisis of Leninism and the Revolution of 1989, discusses the role of the city in the revolution, the reasons for its influence before and after 1989, and how its distinctive artistic and cultural milieu may have contributed to the transition.

www.moa.ubc.ca The Village is Tilting: Dancing AIDSpreview in Malawi MUSEUM OF ANTHROPOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA – Feb 6-Sept 3 One of the unique characteristics of Chewa culture among the southern African tribes is the transformation of their masked spirit entities into new characters as a sign of changing social conditions. Among other cultural signifiers, the Chewa mask is a means of integrating and adapting to the cultural collisions that have been impacting them for hundreds of years. This exhibition focuses on the incorporation of AIDS- related themes in their masks and dances. The Village is Tilting: Dancing AIDS in Malawi presents a series of powerful masks, video interviews, dance footage and life-size photographs (up to 40 x 80 inches) that document the effects of AIDS on rural Malawians. The masks reflect aspects of migrant labor, the effects of a cash economy, the sexual mores of the Chewa and the impact on community relations as a result of AIDS disease and deaths. In addition to the videos, photographs and masks, a three- day public dialogue will examine AIDS in relation to African education, economic development and cultural identity. Vancouver-based photographer Douglas Curran, who has travelled to central Africa for ten years to record the secretive and mystical world of Gule Wamku, curated the exhibition. In conjunction with the show, Curran will speak about Douglas Curran, Kondola (The Braggart) (2005), Chewa cosmology Tuesday, February 20 at 7:00 pm at the photograph [Museum of Anthropology, UBC, Museum of Anthropology.

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 73 www.chambersgallery.org David Eckard:Locus preview CHAMBERS, PORTLAND OR – through Feb 24 David Eckard's Locus series features recent biomorphic imagery that verges on abstraction. Although the forms are imaginary, his smooth tonal rendering and tight graphic compositions create the impact of realism. The exhibition is an evocative representation somewhere between a comprehensive site study and a portrayal of stillness and subtlety found in an archaic environment. David Eckard is best known as a sculptor and performance artist. His Willamette River installation Float was part of PICA’s (Portland Institute for Contemporary Art) Time- Based Art Festival last year. The new exhibit seems like a poetic departure to anyone not familiar with Eckard as a painter or draftsman. Many works look like details from the ancient ruins of Stonehenge, while their close-up perspectives are reminiscent of Georgia O’Keeffe’s bone studies. The orientation of his billowing forms in space skew our perception of scale from micro to macro, particularly in his fourteen-part painting/installation Stanza (Carnac Alignment), where he has arranged multiple views of the same landscape fragments. As Eckard’s exhibition title Locus suggests, the work relates to a perceived location, David Eckard, Stanza (Carnac Alignment) (2006), whether real or imagined. charcoal and latex paint on panel [Chambers, Portland OR, through Feb 24] Eckard received his BFA at the Art Institute in Chicago and has had solo exhibitions in New York, Chicago and Seattle.
