www.esplanade.ca/art-gallery Grahame Lynch: The Logic of Subduction ESPLANADE GALLERY, MEDICINE HAT AB – Feb 23-Apr 1 3, 2013 The Logic of Subduction is a travelling exhibit previously shown at the Thames Art Gallery, Ontario and continuing to the WKP Kennedy Gallery, North Bay and the Station Gallery, Whitby. Conceived by Ontario artist Grahame Lynch, the project employs unbound sections of pages from Reader’s Digest Condensed Books. They have been cut (“to reveal a core sample of their content”) and bound between steel compres - sion plates, then placed behind tempered glass in installation pieces that comment in part on his own visual difficulties.

P Grahame Lynch, The Logic of Subduction (2011), detail, cut and sewn paper canyons and deserts of Utah. [Esplanade Gallery, Medicine Hat AB, Feb 23-Apr 13] Lit by an LED strip, the installation requires viewers to use a magnifying glass to peer at the words. Ironically, the visually-impaired artist writes, “I find myself walking around unable to see anything, because I can't focus in low light.” The installation was conceived as a metaphor for the catastrophe inherent in the ever-shifting tectonic plates below the earth’s surface. Grahame Lynch is an artist, graphic designer and Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Com - munication and Design at Ryerson University, Toronto. He has an MFA from the University of Guelph and is currently enrolled in the Master of Inclusive Design program at OCAD University. He is developing operational methods for documenting, publishing and communicating about artwork in ways that address limits placed on the experience of artwork encountered by disabled individuals.

10 PREVIEW I FEBRUARY/MARCH 20 13 # OPEN LATE ON FIRST THURSDAYS VIGNETTES • February/March 2013 Alberta ROBIN LAuReNCe OFF THE BEATEN PATH: VIOLENCE, WOMEN AND ART Art Gallery of Calgary, Jan 11-Mar 9 This touring exhibition draws on artists from across the globe and employs a multitude of forms and media. Seeking to “promote awareness of the root causes of vio - Yoko Inoue lence against women,” it also aspires to create empathy, foster dia - logue and empower women and girls worldwide. Participating artists include Marina Abramovic, Yoko Ono, Maria Campos- Pons, Louise Bourgeois and Jaune Quick-to-See Smith. The show is given special poignancy and timeliness in the wake of the recent gang rape that led to the death of a young woman in India.
DIANNE BOS Newzones, Calgary, Feb 9-Apr 4 Acclaimed as Cana - da’s “queen of pinhole photography,” Dianne Bos has exhibited her work locally, nationally and internationally. Shooting archi - tectural and landscape images during her wide travels, she typi - cally employs long exposure times to capture the enduring “essence of place.” Her new, wonderfully atmospheric pinhole Dianne Bos photographs play the iconic against the unexpected and the familiar against the mysterious.
FRED HERZOG TrépanierBaer, Calgary, Feb 2-Mar 2 In the 1950s and 60s, when most “fine art” photography was black and white, Fred Herzog walked city streets, catching telling moments of everyday life on Kodachrome colour film. Look for vintage cars, diners, newsstands, shop fronts, neon signs, billboards, old hous - es, vacant lots and exuberant street life, all preserved in high res - olution and saturated colour. Originally shown in slide form, Herzog’s images are now processed digitally to create richly rewarding archival inkjet prints.
ECOTOPIA /ECOTONE Southern Alberta Art Gallery, Lethbridge, Feb Fred Herzog 9-Apr 14 Ecotopia takes its title from a subgenre of science fiction that may present a vision of the world that is “either ideal or nightmarish.” Representing a range of media and artists as diverse as Rodney Graham, T&T and Tristram Lansdowne, Eco - topia challenges our assumptions about “progress” and our rela - tionship with the natural world. Another group show, Ecotone , is the third stage of an ambitious environmental and agricultural sustainability project undertaken by the Field Notes Collective and the Alberta Rural Development Network. COGNITIVE NATURE: PETER DEACON AND BARBARA AMOS Bugera Matheson Gallery, Edmonton, Feb 16-Mar 2 This show of abstract - ed landscapes brings together a range of materials and processes. Tristram Lansdowne Among Peter Deacon’s works are collages on paper, their imagery based on such “irreducible” elements as “geographic location, personal experience, prime numbers, and primary colours.” Barbara Amos, who has worked in paint, steel, video and photography, creates images which are inspired by the east - ern slopes of the Rocky Mountains and the Continental Divide and which both fragment and “coalesce” through the meeting of traditional and digital media. Peter Deacon www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 11 www.seattleartmuseum.org Rembrandt, Van Dyck, Gainsborough: The Treasures of Kenwood House, London SEATTLE ART MUSEUM, SEATTLE WA – Feb 14-May 1 9, 2013 Known for its distinguished art collec - tion, Kenwood House in northern London is currently undergoing major renovation and conserva - tion efforts to restore the neoclassical villa’s façade. The popular visitor destination houses an impressive roster of masterworks, including pieces by Rembrandt van Rijn, Johan Vermeer, Frans Hals, J.M.W. Turner, Anthony van Dyck and Thomas Gainsborough. Many of these mas - terpieces are making a rare U.S. tour during the closure. Known as the Iveagh Bequest, this important collection was formed by Edward Cecil Guin - ness (1847-1927), heir to the Guinness Brewery, and was bequeathed to England, along with the Kenwood House estate and gardens upon his S T R A

Among the treasures of this collection is a late self-portrait by Rembrandt, Portrait of the Artist (c. 1665), one of the few where the artist depicts him - self in the studio. Other highlights of this exhibition include Gainsborough’s Mary, Countess Howe (c. 1764), a picturesque full-length portrait of the elegantly clothed woman set against the English countryside and Joshua Reynolds’ otherworldly depiction Mrs. Musters as Hebe (1782).

http://www.youraga.ca 2013 Alberta Biennial of Contemporary Art ART GALLERY OF ALBERTA, EDMONTON AB – Jan 26-May 5, 2013 Founded in 1996, the Alberta Bien - nial promotes and brings national attention to artists working in this Canadian province. The theme of the 2013 Alberta Biennial, The News from Here , is the idea of post-regionalism: artists forming their iden - tities around different cities, towns and areas of Alberta, while at the same time acknowledging and being influenced by the larger global context of contemporary artmak - ing today. The show seeks to pro - vide a framework through which to see how contemporary art is shaped by their perceptions of time and place – which in turn alters the perceptions. The 2013 Biennial is guest- curated by prominent Alberta art critic Nancy Tousley, an award- winning curator at numerous prestigious institutions including the Brooklyn Museum, the Art Gallery of Ontario, the Glenbow Museum and the Art Gallery of York University. Tousley reviewed more than Jason de Haan & Miruna Dragan, The Wood and Wave Each Other Know (2011), 200 applications and conducted production still [Art Gallery of Alberta, Edmonton AB, Jan 26-May 5] 60 studio visits to select the 36 artists in the current exhibition: Trevor Anderson, Kyle Armstrong, Noel Bégin, Elisabeth Belliveau, Richard Brown, Eric Cameron, Bruno Canadien, Sherri Chaba, Chris Cran, Alysha Creighton, Dav - eandJenn, Amanda Forbis and Wendy Tilby, Mackenzie Frère, Sarah Fuller, Jason de Haan and Miruna Dragan, Faye HeavyShield, Terrance Houle, Gary James Joynes, Kristopher Karklin, Emily Luce, Eric Moschopedis and Mia Rushton, Robyn Moody, Pamela Norrish, Gabrielle Paré, Laura St. Pierre, Jewel Shaw, Taras Polataiko, Larissa Tiggelers, Laura Vickerson, Jennifer Wanner, Donna White and Maria Whiteman.

Claxton’s Mustang Suite deconstructs popular cul - Dana Claxton tural notions of “the Indian.” Roundup , an exhibition of paintings by Sonia Cornwall, depicts the everyday life and landscape of a Kamloops-area ranch. MANABU IKEDA: MELTDOWN West Vancouver Museum, West Van - couver, Jan 19-Feb 16 Meltdown , executed in pen and acrylic ink, imagines a scene of sci-fi-style environmental catastrophe. Reflecting on the natural beauty of the West Coast and the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster following the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan in 2011, Ikeda has created an image of a huge, compressed metropolis of interwoven industrial, archi - tectural and transportation forms, perched on top of a glacier catapulting down a mountainside. It is a riveting work, both in its subject and execution. Manabu Ikeda PAUL MPAGI SEPUYA: STUDIO WORK Artspeak, Vancouver, Jan 26- Mar 2 Born in San Bernardino, CA and based in Brooklyn, NY, Mpagi Sepuya completed an artist’s residency in Harlem in 2011-12, resulting in this photo-based work and installation. His project includes a volume of photographs, formal portraits and snapshots of studio visitors, still lifes, and objects and materials that accrued in his workspace. “The work explores how the stu - dio environment, as site of creation, editing, and accumulation, affects and frames portraiture.” Paul Mpagi Sepuya ANTONIA HIRSCH: LIGHT TENDER Republic Gallery, Vancouver, Feb 1-Mar 2 A new installation by this smart, inventive artist brings together video and found objects in an examination of our under - standing of “value.” Hirsch juggles beauty, economics and ethics in the context of the socially and environmentally controversial trade in cut flowers. She creates codified systems of floral hues and engages us – as marketplace flowers do – with colour and form, leaving us to sort out the moral complications for ourselves. Antonia Hirsch JOSE LUIS TORRES Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art, Kelowna, Feb 1-Mar 16 This Argentinian-Canadian artist makes site-specific installations from found and recycled construction materials, “referencing precarious architecture and the notion that life is a game of survival.” Visitors will encounter the work physically and experientially, making their way through his architectural space by trial and error, to think about our rela - tionship with the built environment and how architecture directs our movements and behaviours – and differentiates pub - lic from private.

British Columbia ROBIN LAuReNCe KELLIE TALBOT: AMERICAN LANDSCAPES Smash Gallery of Mod - ern Art, Vancouver, Feb 1-Mar 2 With a background in graphic Kellie Talbot design, Talbot gained fame and acclaim as art director for Signal Snowboards. This show reveals that she deserves immediate recognition for her tightly focused, photo-realis - tic oil paintings. Talbot chooses segments of neon signs, vin - tage architecture, and neglected cemeteries as her subjects, finding hope and beauty in evidence of erosion and decay. American Landscapes is the first Vancouver solo show for this Seattle-based artist. RAYMOND BOISJOLY Catriona Jeffries Gallery, Vancouver, Feb 28- Apr 6 This exhibition of new work by a fast-rising young artist investigates the ways in which diverse cultures and technologies speak to each other. Boisjoly scans televised musical performanc - Raymond Boisjoly es – including one by Buffy Sainte-Marie – and captures 20 sec - onds of moving images within one digital print on photographic paper. Mounted on aluminum, the large-scale works possess a commanding, “almost psychedelic” presence. CAMROSE DUCOTE Elissa Cristall Gallery, Vancouver, Mar 2-30 Although she has long been based in Vancouver, Ducote grew up in Colorado, and her art reflects the light and the landscape of that place. Applying thin layers of tinted acrylic medium, then sanding the surface down, scraping it off and building it up again, she creates mixed-media works on panel that are lyrical and inventive. “Chance,” she says, “plays a big role in my work, Camrose Ducote and I like to be surprised by the results.” GRAHAM GILMORE: I LOVE YOU, IN THEORY Touchstones Nelson Museum of Art and History, Nelson, Mar 2-Jun 9 This show includes sculpture, mixed-media works, and text-based paintings selected from this acclaimed artist’s 30-year career. Gilmore’s recent word paintings are notable for using “humour and quick- fire wit to counter an undercurrent of loss, cynicism and discon - tent.” They combine the tropes of drip painting with a darkly funny spin on popular culture, social trends, and the vernacular language of love.
SHUVINAI ASHOONA: MERGED REALITIES Inuit Gallery, Vancouver, Graham Gilmore Mar 13-Apr 3 Drawing with pen and ink, coloured pencils and markers, this Cape Dorset artist has gained recognition for her depictions of Northern life and her fantastical, sometimes night - marish images. Her simple yet eloquent quote, “Sometimes the pencil is stronger than I am,” indicates her unconscious mind directs much of her art making. The drawings reveal life in tradi - tional Inuit hunting camps, her deep Christian faith and an expo - sure to pop culture.
Shuvinai Ashoona www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 21 www.kelownaartgallery.com Carol Wainio: The Book KELOWNA ART GALLERY, KELOWNA BC – Jan 19-Mar 17, 2013 The Book is a travelling exhibition organized by the Carleton University Art Gallery. It was shown at Carlton in 2010 and the Varley Art Gallery, Markham, in 2011. The exhibit will continue to the Dunlop Art Gallery, Regina and the McIntosh Gallery, London, Ontario in 2013. The paintings represent a ten-year survey of Wainio’s work with themes taken from fairy tales. The large and impressive acrylic paintings present characters familiar from decades of reproduc - tion, with an emphasis on Puss in Boots and Jack and the Beanstalk . Based on research into the history and evolution of fairytales, as well as inspiration from medieval manu - scripts, the images explore both the history and styles of narrative illus - tration. The most recent paintings focus on early methods for the print - ed distribution of folktales, when original illustra tions began to be reproduced as woodcuts or engrav - ings. Carol Wainio is based in Ottawa, Ontario, where she has taught paint - ing at the University of Ottawa since Carol Wainio, Tapestry (2009), acrylic on canvas [Kelowna Art Gallery, Kelowna BC, 2003.

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 27 http://grunt.ca Cal Lane: Gutter Snipes I GRUNT GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Feb 15-Mar 23, 2013 Artist and welder Cal Lane confronts tra - ditional dichotomies of feminine and masculine by carving ornate botanical and figurative patterns into steel with a blow torch. Starting with ready-made materials like shovels, oil drums, car parts, dumpsters, wheelbarrows and ship - ping containers, she burns lacy, veil-like patterns into the metal objects. The results, much like “a wrestler in a tutu,” as she puts it, are stunning. Gutter Snipes I was shown at Benrimon Contemporary, New York in 2011. The exhibit features a 20-foot long, six-foot diameter steel corrugated pipe first cut in half and welded together to make a 40-foot long half arch, then intri - cately cut with fantastic, medieval creatures in an apocalyptic setting. Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1968, Cal Lane grew up in Saanich- ton, British Columbia and earned a Cal Lane, Gutter Snipes I (2011), aluminum-coated steel sewer pipe [grunt gallery, BFA in Painting from Victoria Col - Vancouver BC, Feb 15-Mar 23] lege of Art (1994). She earned a second BFA in Sculpture from Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (2001 from her website) and completed an MFA in Sculpture from State University of New York (2005). She is a certified welder. Her work has been exhibited at the 2012 Sidney Biennale, NADA Hudson 2012, the Pelham Art Center in New York, Le Musée d’art contemporain des Laurentides in Saint-Jerome, Quebec, the Musea Brugge in Belgium and at the Socrates Sculpture Park in Long Island City, NY among others. Lane currently lives and works in Putnam Valley, New York. Mia Johnson

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 31 BY REBECCA PAVITT Conservator’s Corner FINE ART CONSERVATION , www.fineartconserve.com Iron in Paper: Problems and Current Solutions - Part I Discoloration and foxing (scattered dark spots) in paper are some of the most common reasons that clients bring paper artifacts to a conservator for restoration. These conditions are often cleaned with oxidative bleaches. While such treatments are generally quite effective, if iron is present in the paper oxidative bleaching can actually make the discoloration worse. Part 1 of this article describes the problems that iron can cause in paper; Part 2 will describe some solutions that are making their way into the paper conservator’s repertoire. Iron is sometimes, but not always, present in paper. When iron is present in paper, it can sometimes, but not always, cause discoloration and foxing. Because iron is a catalyst, traditional oxidative bleaching methods used by conservators to reduce discoloration can, after an incubation period of a few Spots on print caused by Fenton Reaction weeks or months, actually accelerate dis - coloration, making a bad situation worse. Iron can exist in many forms. As anyone with a car, boat or carbon steel kitchen knife knows, metallic iron (Fe) is not particularly stable; it likes to oxidize into a broad array of black, white, uncoloured and multicoloured compounds, including rust. Iron can exist in more than one oxidation state. The most common oxidation states are Fe(II) in which metallic iron has lost two electrons and Fe(III), where metallic iron has lost three electrons. Fe(III) is the least reactive form of iron but both Fe(III) and metallic iron can, under the right envi - ronmental circumstances, convert to the very reactive Fe(II) form. Iron can be introduced into the paper intentionally, as in the case of inks and other media, or as unintended contaminants. Iron can be found in unpurified wood pulp, the water used to make the paper, low grade chalk fillers, rosin and papermaker’s alum. Bits of metallic iron that rub together and break off from paper-making machines also find their way into paper sheets. Traditional methods of treating discoloured paper include oxidative bleaches that contain or gen - erate peroxides (for example, hydrogen peroxide, sodium perborate and light). Peroxides react with and solublize the damaged and discoloured portions of the cellulose molecule, allowing them to be washed away. Although these oxidative bleaches can be very effective, Fe(II) can (but not always) cat - alyze the peroxides to trigger the dreaded Fenton Reaction. In a few weeks or months, the previously cleaned paper can become heavily spotted and discoloured. This situation is obviously something to be avoided, but its occurrence cannot always be predicted. How, then, to avoid such a situation? Is it possible to determine if paper contains iron before embarking on oxidative bleaching treatments? There are visual and chemical tests for detecting iron in paper before treatment but, unfortu - nately, these tests are not foolproof. Iron particles can be hidden deep within the paper sheet; oxides may not be concentrated enough to give positive reactions when tested with chemical reagents or they may be unevenly distributed in the paper sheet, leading to false negative test results. What, then, is the best way to safely reduce discoloration in paper that may contain iron, detect - ed or not? And once discoloration has been reduced, how can paper be protected from residual iron that may have been left behind? There are no simple answers to these questions, but my research over the past year has given me some leads which I will share in the next article.

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 39 www.marionscottgallery.com Jutai Toonoo: Nice Day MARION SCOTT GALLERY/KARDOSH PROJECTS, VANCOUVER, BC – Mar 16-Apr 20, 2013 Nice Day is the first West Coast exhibit since 2005 of the unique artwork of Cape Dorset artist Jutai Toonoo. Toonoo comes from a prestigious artistic fam - ily that includes his father, Toonoo Toonoo, and his sister, Oviloo Tunnillie, a well-known sculptor, but he favours a more contemporary approach to style and subject matter. Jutai Toonoo may be best known for his stone por - traits, many of which feature passages of text with political commentary on contemporary issues and expressionistic self-portrait draw - ings. Recent work has explored abstracted fragments of bodies and body parts. The current exhibit features 20 drawings and sculptures from the past five years, including a series of large-format oil pastels Jutai Toonoo, Horizon (2012), graphite and oil pastel on paper [Marion that document the changing seasons on the Scott Gallery/Kardosh Projects, Vancouver BC, Mar 16-Apr 20] Arctic landscape. A number of brightly coloured drawings with an almost Pop sensibility focus on single objects like tools and utensils. Jutai Toonoo was born on Baffin Island in 1959 and learned to carve as a child. He began making art professionally in the late 1990s after completing a course at Nunavut Arctic College in 1995. In recent years he has been an active participant in Cape Dorset Co-op’s drawing and printmaking program. Mia Johnson

Meigs explains that, “Each of the three artists has unique processes for constructing her work; painting and repainting over images of women, rubbing pigment into canvas underwater, turning paper around and around while drawing, then painting from the drawing.” Shelley Penfold paints “most of the time in response to an inner dialogue.” Katie Lyle, awarded an Honourable Mention in the 2012 RBC Painting Competition, paints the female face, allowing “various references and influ - ences to come to the surface,” while Stephanie Aitken, the best known of the three, paints inspired “landscape ele - ments...that entice yet forbid entry.” Meigs writes, “My mind constructs and reconstructs Katie Lyle, Untitle d (2012), oil on canva s [Deluge what I think I see in the paintings.

AVIS RASMUSSEN BLU SMITH www.vanartgallery.bc.ca Ian Wallace: At the Intersection of Painting and Photography VANCOUVER ART GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Oct 27, 2012-Feb 24 , 2013 At the Intersection of Painting and Photography is a major survey exhibition of the work of Ian Wallace, a significant contem - porary Canadian artist. As an art historian, critic and Emily Carr instructor, Wallace has been influen - tial in the development of contemporary art practice in Canada since the 1960s. Wallace was among the first in Vancouver to use large-format photography during the 1970s. He equated photography with cinema, advertising and history painting, thereby helping to elevate Y R E L L A

Her father was an Inuit hunter and fur trad - er. She lived a traditional nomadic lifestyle with her family before settling in Cape Dorset, where she remained for most of her life. In the early 1950s, during a stay in a Quebec tuberculosis sanitar - ium, her artwork attracted the attention of James A. Houston. At the age of 35, she became inter - nationally renowned as a result of the National Film Board of Canada film Kenojuak (1962). As her reputation grew, the Inuit studio on Baffin Island evolved into one of Canada’s most important artistic communities. Kenojuak was one of the first Inuit women in Cape Dorset to begin draw - ing. She eventually worked in graphite, coloured pencils, felt pens and water - colours. She also carved soapstone and was a prolific printmaker who explored copperplate, stone print, aquatint and etching lithography. Almost all of her work features an enthusiastic use of colour. More than 20 drawings, prints and other collaborative works on exhibit show her skill with colour in numerous fine pieces, including a woven tapestry created in collaboration with the Pang - Kenojuak Ashevak, Sun’s Awakening (2010), sugar lift, etching, aqua tint, nirtung Tapestry Studio, Nunavut. edition of 25 [Inuit Gallery, Vancouver BC, Feb 14-Mar 7] Kenojuak was the recipient of many prestigious awards. In 1967, she received the Order of Canada. She was elected to the Royal Cana - dian Academy of Arts in 1974. She was promoted to Companion of the Order of Canada in 1982, and in 2008 received the Governor General's Award for Visual Arts. Mia Johnson

Weems was born and raised in Portland, Oregon in 1953. In the 1970s she moved to San Francisco to study dance and also received her first camera as a gift. Photography became a natural way for Weems to position herself as both spectator and subject as she moved through the world as an African- American woman exposing personal observations, hidden histories and marginalized cultures. The artist often poses in her own works as a stand-in symbolizing a larger dynamic about the minority experience within the mainstream con - texts of history, politics and class structure. Weems’ style is both documentary and constructed, pushing the boundaries of a photographic image to tell sto - ries and put forth a poignant message. A stellar example is her Kitchen Table Series (1990) where Weems positions herself as a central figure in a seemingly simple setting. With a straightforward perspective, these vignettes expose a truthful narrative surrounding domesticity, women’s roles and the multifaceted relationships inherent in family life. Carrie Mae Weems, Not Manet's Type [detail] (1997), five pigment ink prints [Portland Art In some instances Weems also combines text and image Museum, Portland OR, Feb 2-May 19] to further manipulate meaning with wit and complexity. Not Manet’s Type (1997) is a series of voyeuristic images shot looking into a mirror; in one frame we see an intimate bedroom scene of a woman who ironically reflects upon the life of artist’s models, “…Imag - ine my fate had De Kooning gotten hold of me.” This comprehensive exhibit also includes some of Weems’ most groundbreaking work like Ain’t Jokin (1987-88) where portraits of different African-American people are cast with racial slurs and stereotypes as a means to raise awareness and redirect power.

The artworks in the exhibit, as well as a series of public programs complementing the exhibit, offer an invitation to re-imagine our relationships to both indigenous art and indigenous art practices. The list of participating artists is prestigious: Sonny Assu, Dempsey Bob, Joe David, Reg Davidson, Beau Dick, Gwaai Edenshaw, Helen Elliot, Nicholas Galanin, Shawn Hunt, Tony Hunt Jr., Edward Joe, Ellen Neel, Michael Nicoll Yahgu - lanaas, Skeena Reece, Bill Reid, Arthur Renwick, Norman Tait, Lisa Telford, Tania Willard, Art Wil - N O I T C E

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 51 BY JIM FINLA Y Practical Art History or FINLAY FINE ART Confessions of a Fine Art Appraiser www.FinlayFineArt.com Chapter 35. The Case of Jasper Johns’ Figure 1 I recently purchased a 16 x 12½ inch framed photo-mechanical reproduction of Figure 1 at a local thrift store for $4.99. My reproduction of Figure 1 is from Johns’ celebrated colour lithograph series 0 through 9 . He also did the same series as lithographs using black ink only. Johns’ image has some striking resemblances to a photograph of the January 1968 crash site of a United States Air Force B-52 Stratofortress. The crash occurred 7.5 miles west of Thule Air Base, Greenland while the B-52 bomber aircraft was on a Cold War alert mission over Baffin Bay. Alert missions were a Cold War deterrent against Soviet attack and involved B-52 bombers with nuclear payloads in the air for 24 hours a day. Johns may have seen a photograph of the crash site and used it as a basis for his image. In Figure 1 , part of a sheet of newspaper from the Washington Post circa 1968 has been incorporated into the lithograph. Most of the page from the newspaper has been overinked; however, the full text of an article entitled The Recall to Reality by Joseph Alsop (reprinted in The Watertown Daily Times, Friday August 2, 1968) is visible, just to the left of the figure. Alsop’s arti - cle suggests that the mili - tary might of America

He vilifies the aggressive stance taken by the Soviet-controlled Eastern Bloc and warns of the potential for nuclear catastrophe. The visual references to a rocket launch and inter-continental bal - listic missile are clearly suggested by Figure 1 . The imagery symbol - izes the Cold War reality of military aggression, the space race and the S N O

The first online recorded sale on the secondary market occurred at Sotheby’s New York in 1990, just a few months after the Berlin Wall came down, soon after Ronald Reagan’s admonition to the Soviet Union to "tear down this wall"; thus in a very real sense proclaiming the official end to the Cold War. It is interesting to note that continued and robust sales of this artwork may serve as a testament to the “triumph of capitalism” both in political terms and consumer economy. Next Issue.

# OPEN LATE ON FIRST THURSDAYS PREVIEW 53 www.tacomaartmuseum.org Memories and Meditations: A Retrospective of Michael Kenna’s Photography TACOMA ART MUSEUM, TACOMA WA – Oct 6, 2012-Mar 24 , 2013 Michael Kenna is one of the most well-known photographers in Seattle. The British-born artist has travelled extensively throughout the world to capture his sensitive imagery. This first US retrospective in close to 20 years chronicles Kenna’s internationally recognized projects from places like China, Japan and Easter Island, while also presenting a small selection of earlier works from the 1970s and ‘80s. Kenna’s classic images infuse a poetic stillness into various landscapes and architectural subjects. His refined style of rich contrast and smooth grey tones is achieved with traditional, non-digital handcrafted printing. Light and dark are often distilled into essential elements, caus -

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 57 www.xchangesgallery.org Connie Morey: Ba_ble: inarticulations on human-animal relations XCHANGES GALLERY, VICTORIA BC – Feb 1-24, 2013 Connie Morey, a PhD student in Education in Art (ABD) and sessional instructor of art at University of Victoria, has participated in exhibitions in Canada, Malaysia and Thailand and is cur - rently presenting her subtle but thought- provoking series addressing the relation - ship between humans and animals. As an interdisciplinary artist, Morey draws on philosophy, theory and her own studio explorations to develop delicate works in ceramics, made and found sculpture, pho - tography, collage and drawing. Her studio work serves as a poetic interpretation of her rigorous post-gradu - ate studies, which she describes primarily as an interest in an “ecological sense of imagination.” Ideas of ownership are cen - tral to the theme of Ba_ble : inarticulations Connie Morey, Dysphonia (Mouth Stuffed Full) (2011-12), clay slip, glaze, on human-animal relations , beginning with graphite and fur [Xchanges Gallery, Victoria BC, Feb 1-24] human ownership of other animals. Even more probing are the questions Morey asks about ownership of intelligence and imagination; qualities closely related to and often evaluated on the basis of communication and culture. This show queries assumptions and behaviours that can develop through a lack of understanding. Morey's animals include sheep, birds and humans. The tone of the show ranges from the playful to the horrific; there are sweet pastel sheep with speech bubbles overhead and there are human heads with their mouths stuffed full of fur. The relationship between the works is complex, intriguing and highly evocative. Christine Clark

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 61 www.willamette.edu/museum_of_art Manuel Izquierdo: Myth, Nature, and Renewal HALLIE FORD MUSEUM OF ART, SALEM, OR – Jan 19-Mar 24, 2013 The late Manuel Izquierdo, influ - ential sculptor, printmaker and teacher, had a significant career that spanned six decades. The multi-tal - ented artist was born in Madrid, Spain in 1925, and became a wartime refugee during his teens, fleeing to America with his two siblings in 1942. After a year in New York, they relocated to Portland where Izquierdo studied and taught at the Museum Art School (now Pacific Northwest College of Art). Early on he met well-known artists like Louis Bunce and Frederick Littman, developing his own per - sonal style amidst the regional backdrop of mid-centu - ry modernism. Establishing himself as a prominent figure in Port - land’s art community, Izquierdo was a Northwest pio - S E D A
neer of welded metal sculpture and an accomplished O H R
L L printmaker, producing mainly woodcuts in a somewhat I B
H G
narrative style. Izquierdo’s sculptures – characterized U O R H T
T
by biomorphic forms that shift between semblances of S U R T
human, plant and mythological subjects – have an O D R E I U
underlying quality of surrealism that invites thoughtful Q Z I
L E U
dialogue. His dynamic and lyrical forms are playfully N A M
E
organic yet grounded in their clean, crafted shapes and H T
F O
T F
the smooth polished surfaces that distinguish his I G
, M U
bronze pieces. E S U M
This exhibit features about 50 sculptures drawn D R O F
E I
from regional collections. Some of the highlights L L A H

The tableaux-style Michael Paul Miller paintings – riveting in their implied tales of destruction and sur - vival, fear and hope – provoke a range of poignant contemporary issues to surface. Miller’s portrayals of desolate landscapes and fig - ures set in the aftermath of explosive situations bring to mind humanity’s impending environmental impact, articulated with an alarming beauty. KELLY RAUER: WEIGHT & SAMANTHA WALL: LAID TO REST The Art Gym, Marylhurst, Jan 13-Feb 15 Both Kelly Rauer and Samantha Wall focus on a single female figure to explore the emotional underpinnings of gesture in concurrent exhibitions at The Art Gym. Rauer’s multi-channel video piece of herself dancing in a spare setting emphasizes the possibilities and limitations of body mechanics. Wall, who was born in Seoul, South Korea, also uses Samantha Wall video as the source imagery for six provocative drawings that con - sider the complex cultural expectations of biracial children and the struggles of self. JUDY COOKE: SUBTEXT Elizabeth Leach Gallery, Portland, Feb 7-Mar 2 Judy Cooke, a well-known Portland artist, has continually demon - strated a commitment toward abstraction, the expressive quality of a line, and a continued inquisitive approach to painting. This new series is based on the idea of “provisional painting” that allows the artist to explore new possibilities within moments that arise during the creation process. Her pared down compositions employ bold shapes and a punctuated use of colour on her often custom-shaped Judy Cooke panels. DANNY LYON: THE BIKERIDERS Charles A. Hartman Fine Art, Portland, Jan 29-Mar 16 This celebrated series chronicles the Chicago Out - laws motorcycle club from 1963-67. Danny Lyon, who was a mem - ber of the group and shot their daily activities from his motorcycle, is an important photographer and filmmaker who came of age in the 1960s. The nostalgic images from this landmark series were published in a 1968 book, The Bikeriders , which launched Lyon’s career and brought motorcycle counter-culture to mainstream Danny Lyon America. STEVE TILDEN: SOFT MACHINES Blackfish Gallery, Portland, Feb 5-Mar 2 Steve Tilden’s newest sculptures expand upon his ongoing use of various material to create amorphous forms with conceptual lean - ings. Soft Machines was specifically inspired by Lee Bontecou’s innovative early work. Tilden uses steel frames covered with stretched fabric as the basis. The distressed surfaces include char - coal and acrylic, rough stitching and a soaked shellac finish, which obscures the material’s origin. Part mechanistic and part organic, these abstract pieces leave room for imagined uses or suggested identities.

They include Cheryl L’Hirondelle, Mike Andrew McLean, Haruko Okano, Ruth Scheuing and UWHAH, a collabo - rative entity of Vancouver artists. The exhibit was conceived as a vehicle for showing art that examines our surroundings, both literally and imaginatively, with an emphasis on conceptual works, narratives and reflections on the practice of being attentive to surroundings while walking. Many of the artworks com - ment on the responses to the urban Until We Have a Helicopter (UWHAH): Wes Cameron and Matthew Robertson, Eight and rural landscapes as they are Piece Procession (2011), fiberglass canoe, powder coated aluminum, plywood, walked through, while others neoprene rubber, manila rope, adhesives, hardware, alkyd paint [Richmond Art address new ways of understanding Gallery, Richmond BC, Feb 2-Mar 24] how, where and why we walk. The curators contend, “The history of walking has the capacity for narratives that hold cultural, political, social and spiritual meanings. From aboriginal rituals, religious and political pilgrimages, to intrepid explorers, artists, writers and folk simply moving from one place to another, walking has inspired, challenged and been the subject of artistic investigation.” Visit the Richmond Art Gallery website for information on related programming.

He also conducted interviews with each artist about their influences, backgrounds and connection to the Northwest as part of the project. Eduardo Calderón Along with Calderón’s straightforward portraiture, the insightful artists’ narratives and inclusion of their own work in the exhibition reveals a telling cross-section of the regional contemporary art scene since roughly the 1960s. CHICANITAS: SMALL PAINTINGS FROM THE CHEECH MARIN COLLEC - TION {SIZE DOESN’T MATTER} Whatcom Museum, Bellingham, Jan 12- Mar 24 The actor Cheech Marin has developed a significant collection representing the Chicano art movement of the 1960s and 70s.

A lone girl set in a dark forest conjures mixed feelings of child - hood fear and discovery that eventually shape one’s adult self. JOANN VERBURG: MID-CAREER SURVEY G. Gibson Gallery, Seattle, Feb 7-Mar 16 Images from 1991 to 2011 highlight recent work by the highly prolific, nationally recognized photographer JoAnn Verburg. During her career of over 30 years, Verburg has created still lifes, por - traits, landscapes and cityscapes with an engaging vantage point and radiant colour palette that speaks about the perceptual experience. Having explored the many potentials of the photographic medium, her work reveals underlying themes of time, motion and an intimate sense of place. Minneapolis-based Verburg will also give a lecture at the Henry Art Gallery in Seattle on Friday, March 8 at 7 pm. PLASTICS UNWRAPPED Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture, Joann Verburg Seattle, Dec 20, 2012- May 27, 2013 The invention of plastic has had a huge impact on human culture, changing social conditioning with a seeming dependency on the material. This insightful exhibit delves into how life’s needs were met before plastic, exposes environmental impacts and health risks through images from around the world, and shows promising new developments in science that could change the role of plastics for humanity. Through an array of photographs and educational displays, Plastics Unwrapped provokes the rethinking of our relationship to material.

The 44 artists of High Fiber Diet explore a wide range of methods, materials and meaning. The exhibit runs the gamut from pieces that pay homage to craft traditions – like Polly Adams Sutton’s asymmetrical baskets made of western red cedar bark – to conceptually-based pieces that might only hint at fibre art practices – like Aman - da Manitach’s video of her embroidering a lamb’s tongue in glitzy glass beads over the course of three days.
