www.cristallgallery.com Eric Deis: Shadows Cast on Imagination's Past

ELISSA CRISTALL GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Oct 1-29, 2009 Shadows Cast on Imagination's Past by Vancouver artist Eric Deis features mesmerizing photographs from Vancouver, Tokyo and the Canadian Arctic. Deis’ large-scale images, over a gigapixel in resolution, have a remarkable clarity that completely immerses the viewer. The almost surrealist images are captured with a virtual-view camera using a cus- tom digital-analogue system developed by Deis. Many of the large-format archival inkjet prints depict buildings and construction sites in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. They have a clear, even quality of light and a painfully exquisite sense of fine detail. At the same time, they appear almost illustrative, like dioramas or theatre sets. Eric Deis, Rose Marry (June 2. 2008), archival His iconic bird’s-eye image Hipsters and Drug Dealer cap- inkjet print [Elissa Cristall Gallery, Vancouver BC, tures a panoramic view of Vancouver at night, with the his- Oct 1-29] toric Dominion Building at centre stage and a small drama by local residents playing out on the streets. Although the effect is one of staging, the realization that his subjects are photographed in situ lends an air of magic to the images. Like many artists of his gen- eration, Deis is particularly intrigued by industrial landscapes and construction scenes that position new social forces and structures against eroding backdrops. Eric Deis was born on a Canadian military station on the Queen Charlotte Islands, BC. In 2004, he earned an MFA from the University of California, San Diego. He is a 2001 graduate of Emily Carr Institute of Art + Design, Vancouver (BFA) and is a 2009 Project Grant recipient of the Canada Council for the Arts. His startling photographs have been exhibited in Canada, United States and Europe. Mia Johnson

Halifax artists Garry Neill Kennedy and Cathy Busby spent four months researching and developing site-specific art works at Red Gate. The pieces reflected the artists' expe- rience of being in Beijing before, during and after the Olympic Games. Kennedy produced two large wall painting installa- tions entitled, I Don't Want to Pay the Full Price and The Eight Banners, a Chinese History Painting. He has repro- duced both in brilliant colours painted directly onto the walls of Centre A. The first piece covers the entire south wall of the gallery, an area over 2,000 square feet – possi- bly the largest painting ever produced in Vancouver. Garry Neill Kennedy, I Don’t Want to Pay the Full Price, The second piece covers several other walls and wall painting [Centre A, Vancouver BC, Sep 12-Oct 24] refers to his celebrated work, The American History Painting, on view at the National Gallery of Canada. Busby, inspired by large-scale vinyl banners advertising products, created a series of giant photographic posters. Including two more produced for Centre A, her series is displayed as a large cube of images in the centre of the gallery. Garry Neill Kennedy is best known as a pioneer of conceptual painting and as the former presi- dent and professor of the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (NSCAD) for 23 years. His accom- plishments as an artist, teacher and administrator were rec- ognized in 2003 with the Order of Canada and in 2004 with ARTIST TALK: Centre A, Saturday, Sept 12, 2pm the Governor General's Award for Visual Arts.

www.richmondartgallery.org Elizabeth Russell: Migration/Immigrant Stories RICHMOND ART GALLERY, RICHMOND BC – Sep 17-Nov 1, 2009 Elizabeth Russell is a conceptual artist who produces drawings, paintings, photographs and site-specific installations for public spaces and art galleries. During 2009, Russell used drawing class- es as a means to connect with new and settled immigrants in Richmond, a city outside Vancouver, B.C. Richmond itself has a 59% immigrant population, the highest in Canada. The artworks in Migration/Immigrant Stories were inspired by her personal sources, and include a site-specific installation directly related to her experiences teaching new immigrants at the Richmond Mul- ticultural Concerns Society. The exhibition provides a glimpse of the experiences of being a new immigrant in Canada, rather than a critique of the Canadi- an immigration system. Described as a “snap shot of what a few people unveiled about their first encounters with Canada”, the works take the form of charcoal drawings, acrylic paintings, pho- Elizabeth Russell, Linda's Story, Blanket Coat tographs and assemblages of objects.

California artist Sandow Birk worked from television and Internet news reports during the US-led invasion to create the 4 x 8 foot prints. The images portray recruiting scenes, training camps, the invasion, incarceration and Senate investigation hearings. Birk's immense undertaking was inspired by Jacques Callot's series of etchings The Miseries of War in the 17th century, which in turn were the inspira- tion for Goya's Disasters of War in the 19th century. The exhibition is accom- panied by a catalogue published by Hui- Sandow Birk, The Depravities of War: Degradation, woodcut on Sekishu paper Press, Hawaii.

He has an extensive history of national and inter- national exhibitions and has received many prestigious grants and awards. Five books have been published on Birk's art and he has made two films. With an emphasis on contemporary American social issues, his themes have included inner city violence, graffiti, political issues, travel, incarcer- ation, surfing and skateboarding, and a recent series on "Death in America" and the war in Iraq.

★ OPEN LATE ON FIRST THURSDAYS PREVIEW 23 GALLERY VIEWS BY ANN ROSENBERG

The design of the Richmond Olympic Oval is a winner

The Richmond Olympic Oval has essentially been completed within the projected $178,000,000 budget months before the facility will house some 8,000 fans of long-track speed skating (and other events) dur- ing the 2010 Winter Olympics and Paralympic Games. The mammoth 506,000-square-foot Olympic ven- ue and future Centre of Excellence for Sports and Wellness, was overseen by the international architectural firm of Cannon Design whose descriptive slogan is “an ideas based practice.” On May 15, 2009, according to a Richmond City Hall Press Release, this building, which is attracting attention because of its ingenious roof structure and green building methods, won an Award of Excellence for Innovation in Architecture (Science) from The Royal Architectural Institute of Canada. The Oval is set in the middle of a 32-acre tract of land situated on the banks of the Fraser River’s South Arm, a few minutes away from Vancouver International Airport. On adjacent property, the Kwok Brothers of ASPAC Developments (the firm responsible for the much-praised Coal Harbour community in Downtown Vancouver) is master- minding plans for the new Oval Riverfront devel-

opment project where high-rise residences are now PHOTO: CITY OF RICHMOND under construction. Interior of Richmond Olympic Oval featuring composite wood In August, Richmond’s Public Art Planner 'glulam' beams and innovative pine-beetle wood ceiling Eric Fiss gave me a tour of the Oval and the public artworks completed in 2008. Inside, the sports facility was a hive of activity. People looked small in this vast space, but the sky-like colours of the mammoth geometric shapes that covered the brutal rawness of the concrete walls and the intricately composed curved sections of the wooden roof, humanized and gentled the environment. Whether looking up before entering or marvelling at the ceiling of the vast space when standing within the Oval, the vault con- structed by Delta’s StructureCraft Builders commands attention. The roof is comprised of a multitude of curved "wood wave" panels utilizing 2x4’s cut from B.C. pine-beetle-killed wood. The wood construction ensures the ceiling is light in weight, has good acoustics and is relatively economical to repair. The "wood waves" were set down on 328-foot-long wood-steel composite crossbeams that were put in place during an earlier stage of construction. First Nations artist Susan A. Point created the 23-foot-tall cast- concrete Buttress Runnels on the north side of the Oval facing the water garden in consultation with Cannon Design and Structure- Craft. These run-off channels are integral to the rooftop system that collects rain water for the building's toilets and many other uses. When water courses down over Point's low relief sculptures of PHOTO: CITY OF RICHMOND Roof support pier featuring integrated teeming fish and alert herons, her Buttress Runnels allude to salmon art work Buttress Runnel by Coast Salish streams, the eco-system of the Fraser Delta and the traditional Coast artist Susan A. Point Salish way of life. Other artists have created works that are beautiful to look at and stimulating to think about. I hope to review them next summer when all aspects of the Oval are complete, when the water garden has had a chance to mature and the sports and wellness centre has assumed its post-Olympic profile. Don't wait until then to view Buster Simpson's Ice Blade and Janet Echelman's Water Sky Garden.

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 33 www.artbeatus.com Victoria H. Chang: Nü Shu = Secret Script ART BEATUS, VANCOUVER, BC – Aug 28-Oct 30, 2009 Nü Shu = Secret Script is a unique exhibit of installation and mixed media works by Vancouver artist Victoria Chang. The artwork is based on Nü shu, a secret written "female language" invented by peasant women centuries ago in Jiangyong County in Hunan province. At the age of seven years, girls began secretly learning nü shu charac- ters from their mothers and grandmothers. It enabled them to communicate amongst them- selves after they were married, to express feelings of pain, abuse, suppression and suffering that often lasted the rest of their lives. Writing in nü shu on the crevices of a folding fan was one of the methods of exchanging mes- sages. The tradition passed from generation to generation within small counties of this remote province of China. The last person proficient in this writing system, died in 2004 at the age of 98. Chang's artwork examines both the visual Victoria H. Chang, Nü Shu (2007) mixed media [Art Beatus Gallery, Vancouver BC, Aug 28-Oct 30] beauty and metaphorical power of nü shu as a method of blurring the boundaries of Eastern aesthetics with contemporary Western art tradi- tions. Although the language evolved during feudal times, the artist points out that, in the 21st century, scenarios of suffering during marriage continue to be played out in many women's lives around the world. Victoria Chang earned a BFA in studio art at UBC in 2000 after completing a BSc in Mathemat- ics. In 2004, she completed a Post-Baccalaureate in Studio Art at Brandeis University, Massachu- setts, and in 2005 she earned a Master of Fine Arts at Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, New York. Chang's extensive educational background includes three years training in Chinese calligraphy with Mas- ter Liang Shih-Fung and the mastery of Chinese Brush painting in the Southern Impressionist style from the late Master Frank Tam, both in Vancouver, BC.

Paintings can be obscured by layers of grime, accretions, old varnishes, and overpaint from previous repairs. If we reflect on the history acquired from aged treatises and writings, we find that intrigu- ing materials and techniques were used to clean paintings. Older methods included rubbing a painting’s surface with a stone block, mastic tears, potatoes, onions, or bread. Washing the paint surface with urine and ammonia, or scouring it with potash or alum was common. A coating of oil on the front and back of a painting was used to “brighten up” its appear- ance. In earlier times, artists or laymen would work on art just as a blacksmith would carry out dentistry, as the commonality of tools outweighed the era’s develop- ment of a specific expertise. Household remedies such as washing a painting with dish detergent, spraying it with window cleaner, or using commercial solvent emulsions, are becoming antics of the past. Aggressive techniques or inappropri- ate cleaning agents can result in the weakening of a painting’s structure, causing flaking or dissolving paint Aging Affects Artwork. Time Smoking a Painting, layers. Stripping varnishes and harsh, exuberant clean- etching by William Hogarth ings can leave an artwork’s appearance blanched and its structure leached. In other words, antiquated or unskilled attempts to reveal an image may cause it to disappear from history altogether. Contemporary advancements in our knowledge of the structural science of paintings and the technological development of tools, materials, and meth- ods for cleaning paintings extend beyond traditional methods employing solvents, emulsions, and scalpels. Dr. Richard Wolbers’ significant explorations with aque- ous intermixtures, surfactants, chelators, enzymes, and sol- vent gels for use in varnish removal and cleaning paintings, provide additional options for the conservator. Research con- tinues as advancements always create more questions. Present day cleaning of paintings combines traditional and modern methods and dry and wet techniques directed for specific cleaning concerns. Cleaning paintings requires more than an assessment of the artwork, the selection of the type of cleaning procedures and the materials involved. A balanced cleaning methodology also incorporates a con- servator’s knowledge, experience, objective logic, and humil- ity combined with a respect for the artwork’s integrity and an Conservator employing contemporary understanding of the aesthetic and historical context of the cleaning methods on an early 19th century painting. As Sarah Walden says in her book, The Ravished Ecuadorian icon Image, “Conservation has never been purely a matter of solvents, recipes, and equipment…”.

They continue his exploration into aspects of transformation, a theme he began working on in 2000 with his Corvus Rex images, and continued to develop through 2005 with his Chrysalid works. Each of these projects revolves around themes of gestation, birth and metamorphosis. Regehr first exhibited his artwork in 1974 at the Stratford Festival, Ontario, and since that time has had numerous exhi- bitions in Canada, the USA, and Europe. In April and May 2009, he exhibited his Helm sculptures at the Winchester Gallery, Victoria and at Petley Jones, Vancouver – a series of blocky, Visigothic helmut-like heads with Cubist arrange- ments of variously stained wood sections. Slightly comical and definitely unusual, the heads allude to real or imaginary civi- lizations, histories and philosophies, some are alien-like or futuristic, others abstract or primitive-looking. He writes, "Whether they are portrayals of leaders, warrior-poets, philosophers, questing heroes or champions of fate and for- tune, the Helm sculptures evolved as purely masculine icons. They are the victors, the valiant and the vanquished". Duncan Regehr was born in Lethbridge, Alberta in 1952 and raised in Victoria, BC. Since the 1980s, the Canadian actor Duncan Regehr, Her Perfect Continuum (2009), oil and artist has played an assortment of villains, princes, gladia- on board [Petley Jones Gallery, Vancouver BC, Oct tors and futuristic roles on television. Regehr may best be 14-28] remembered as The New World Zorro in an early 1990s televi- sion series, in which he played the Zorro character for 88 episodes between 1990 to 1993. In 2008, Regehr was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Fine Arts from the University of Victoria, BC.

Over the next 30 years he shaped the institution and its legacy collection. The AGGV today holds the largest public collection of art in the province: over 15,000 works from Asia, Europe and North America. In a three-part presentation entitled Vision Into Reality, held from August 2009 through to March 2010, the AGGV pres- ents The Asian Collection Begins: Colin Graham and West Coast Modernism, and The Birth of the Collection. In conjunction with the Colin Graham exhibition, Alberta artist Mary-Anne McTrowe has produced a crocheted history of the AGGV’s entire collection for Lab 9.2. Assistant Professor of Fine Arts at the Univer- sity of Lethbridge, McTrowe is interested in tax- onomies and systems of organization for the catego- Mary-Anne McTrowe, detail (work in progress) The LAB 9.2: rization and preservation of objects. Her recent work Crocheting the Database (2009) [Art Gallery of Greater includes crocheted tea cozy covers for everyday Victoria, Victoria BC, Oct 9-Nov 22] objects and, in the vein of environmental artist Christo, proposals for “cozies” for natural and man-made architecture. In recent collages, she created mock-ups of cozies for Lethbridge architectural landmarks. Crocheting the Database portrays the Gallery’s collection “...as it is described through the filter of the database, and can be seen as metadata; information about information.”, McTrowe writes. Her concep- tual piece is comprised of approximately 17,000 stitches. Additional “portraits” focus on database cat- egorizations, each taking the form of a crocheted chain approximately 400 feet long. A number of events and curator’s tours accompany Vision Into Reality. Mary-Anne McTrowe will present an artist talk on her work on October 8, 7:30pm in Lab 9.2. Mia Johnson

She played an active role at Intermedia, an important centre for interdisciplinary activity. A pivotal force at a time when Vancouver emerged as a city known for experimental art and music, she has continued to manipulate abstracted fields of psychedelic colour and light for the past five decades. Balzar is best known for her hard-edge striped paintings and for her work with such industrial materials as neon tubing and plastic. She saw neon light as a model for new optical possibilities and as an expanded notion of the painting medi- um. Titles like Liquid Heat, Nova and Sonic Core reflect her ongoing search for new technologies that could take advantage of "the multiplicity of human sensorium", both optical and auditory. Balzar had a major retrospective of her work Joan Balzar, Spinner I (1965), acrylic on canvas [West Vancouver at the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery Museum, West Vancouver BC, Sep 9-Oct 31 (Belkin Satellite) in 2003. 1960+ features work created between 1960 and 1972, and includes Electra (1967-2009), a piece with neon tubing updat- ed for this exhibition. The exhibition has been assembled from the col- ARTIST TALK: lections of the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery, the Vancouver Art 1:30pm Gallery and the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, and presents a selection Sunday, September 19 of recent abstract paintings.

The exhibit of work by Americans, Europeans, Cambodians, and North and South Vietnamese and Vietcong includes pictures that have never been seen in the Western world prior to the compila- tion of this collection.

68 PREVIEW ■ SEP/OCT 2009 ★ OPEN LATE ON FIRST THURSDAYS www.elizabethleach.com MK Guth: Terrain Change: Installation/New Work ELIZABETH LEACH GALLERY, PORTLAND OR – Sep 3-26, 2009 The work of Portland-based artist MK Guth is motivated by risk-taking, transformation and desire. She creates sculptures, videos, installations and interactive social projects that engage the public, often via questions. For example, in her 2008 Whitney Biennial installation she asked visitors, "What is worth protecting?" The answers were written on red ribbons and tied to Guth's installation of hanging braids by willing participants. The piece devel- oped with every answer. In Terrain Change, an installation of new multi- disciplinary artwork, Guth questions who we become when our everyday environments disap- pear. Utilizing the familiarity of stories, myths, and fairy tales, Guth appropriates archetypal notions to create a current, socially relevant narrative that is both personal and collective. Her diverse configura- tion of objects, video and photography include umbrellas made of sweaters and hats, chandelier clouds, loggers and mermaids. Underlying Guth's playful approach are con- MK Guth, Umbrellas (2009), fabric [Elizabeth Leach Gallery, Portland OR, Sep 3-26] temporary allegories about the rapid pace of climate change, the "career cult" mentality and the shifting global economy. The notion of individuality is ques- tioned through Guth's perspective that as a culture we define ourselves by our environment and our pro- fessions. Her new work evokes the instability and uncertainty we face when pondering these issues. Guth's artwork and projects have appeared internationally at galleries, museums and festivals includ- ing The Melbourne International Arts Festival, Australia; Nottdance Festival, ; and A Gentil Car- ioca Gallery, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The Seattle artist prints all of her own papers using pressed plants from her gar- den. The dynamic shifting world of Isaksen's canvases is evident in the resolution and transformation of complicated mulit-lay- ered compositions, which are created with layers of thin pat- terned papers collaged on canvas. By using the plants she grows, Isaksen's artwork becomes an extension of her garden. As a reflection of both environment and materials, her stylized version of nature is told through complex arrangements of organic imagery. The creative push and pull inherent in this art-making process further resembles the growth and cyclic changes in nature. The canvases are filled with a series of interconnected shapes Eva Isaksen, Small Talk (2009), mixed and repetitious linear designs hanging in a soft quiet balance of media collage on canvas [Foster/White Gallery, Seattle WA, Oct 1-24] formal elements and sophisticated colour choices. Poetic forms sit lightly on subtle but dense backdrops evoking a slow sensa- tion of movement. Translucent papers reveal the rhythm of deep underlayers, as the delicate lines of Isaksen's drawing defines a foreground space. Isaksen's work has been exhibited internationally and is part of public and private collections in Norway, Japan and the United States. Allyn Cantor

Unfortunately, Michelangelo burned many of his sketches and preliminary works so that others would never know the painstaking efforts that he took to create his masterpieces. From the Italian museum's collection of rare pieces, the Seattle Art Museum has organized Drawings for the Sistine Chapel and Other Treasures from the Casa Buonarroti. The Seattle Art Museum has also published an in-depth catalogue which provides further context for the drawings. For conservation reasons, only a small selection of the art work held at Casa Buonarroti can be exhibited at one time. The exhibit includes twelve drawings, models and personal documents, Male Torso (ca. 1540), light terracotta, painted and sculpted portraits of the artist, artwork by Michelangelo's Florentine artist, XVI century [Seattle Art contemporaries, and decorative arts from the Casa Buonarroti. Museum, Seattle WA, Oct 15-Jan 31] Among the highlights is a miniature tempera painting after Michelangelo's controversial Sistine Chapel fresco, The Last Judgment. The stylized depiction is by the important 16th century miniaturist, Giulio Clovio and contains all 391 figures without any of the cen- sorship that had been added to the original. Allyn Cantor
