www.seattleartmuseum.org Inspiring Impressionism: The Impressionists and the Art of the Past SEATTLE ART MUSEUM, SEATTLE WA – Jun 19-Sep 21 The term "Impressionism" can be traced to a Claude Monet painting from late 19th century France entitled Impression, Sunrise (1872). The name loosely encompasses a style developed by artists of that time who, while depicting modern life, sought to capture moments of spontaneity, while paying special attention to elements of light. Impressionist artists rejected traditional styles of painting in favour of a more loose, innovative approach to colour and brush- work. Inspiring Impressionism presents a new perspective on the popular movement in art history. It examines the classical roots in the work of those who were considered radical in their time, and provides insight linking artists working in the Impressionist style with the Old Masters who preceded them. The exhibit includes work from over 40 different museum collections. Among them are pieces by Monet, Manet, Cézanne, Renoir and Dégas juxtaposed with works by Goya, Titian, Rubens, Fragonard and Velázquez. To show the impact made on Impressionist artists by their European predecessors, examples from 16th century Renaissance art, 17th and 18th century Dutch and Spanish styles, and 18th cen- Mary Cassatt (1844-1926), The Family tury French Rococo are represented. Works that have been paired (1893), oil on canvas, collection: Chrysler Museum of Art, Norfolk VA, gift of Walter P. to show such relationships include Mary Cassatt's The Family Chrysler, Jr., 71.498 [Seattle Art Museum, (1893) and Bernardino Luini's Madonna and Child with the Infant Seattle WA, Jun 19-Sep 21] St. John (ca. 1515-20); and Cassatt's Mrs. Duffee Seated on a Striped Sofa, Reading (1876) and Fragonard's A Young Girl Reading (approximately 1776). The Seattle Art Museum is the last venue for this nationally touring exhibit which includes many works that have never before been seen in the United States. Allyn Cantor

www.alternatorgallery.com Dana Claxton: The Mustang Suite ALTERNATOR GALLERY, KELOWNA BC, Jun 9-Jul 31 Drawing from her personal and ancestral history, Claxton creates photo-based and video installations to investigate the impact of colonialism and imperialism on indigenous cultures. Claxton's ancestors are the Lakota people who fled to Canada with Sitting Bull after the Battle of Little Big Horn in 1876. The Mustang Suite is an imaginative evo- cation of dancing horses accompanied by a suite of photos. The Mustang Suite is being shown in conjunction with On Common Ground, a national media arts festival. Organized by the Alternator Gallery and the Ullus Collective, a regional group of Aboriginal filmmakers, the festival (June 10 to June 15) is part of the biennial conference of the Independent Media Arts Alliance. Dana Claxton is one of Canada's most influential interdisciplinary artists. Her work, which includes film and video, installation, performance and photography, has been shown at the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the Walker Art Centre (Minneapolis), the Sundance Festival (Utah), Dana Claxton, Mustang Suite, production still Microwave (Hong Kong), Rencontres Internationale [Alternator Gallery, Vancouver BC, Jun 9-Jul 21] (Paris/Berlin), Caixiforum Fundació la Caixa (Barcelona), Biennale D'art Contemporain du Havre (France), WRO 03 Globalica 10th International Media Art Biennale (Poland) and the Guangdong Museum of Art (China).

Art for Drugs

On January 17, 2008, The Oregonian reported the arrest of those responsible for the December 2007 theft of two life-size bronze sculptures from the late Jean Vollum's estate in Portland. Although of substantial value, they likely had little resale value because of their size and uniqueness. From the first, Deputy Travis Gullberg suspected the pieces had been stolen to be cut into scrap. He was right. The culprits were identified as the estate's security guard and her boyfriend. The artworks' remains were recovered at the trailer where they lived. They had sold a mere $70 to $100 worth of metal bits before they were booked on "suspicion of aggravated theft", and were likely intending to "feed their drug habits". The lovers would have done as well if they had sold a couple of strips of aluminum siding, some copper pipes from their trailer's plumbing and a garden fork or two, rather than hunks of traceable works of art. Although similar felonies are on record (consult Google), most culprits probably don't realize how much physical work and organizational skills are involved in such ventures. Most are caught. This likely warns would-be copy-cat felons. A few past Vancouver art thefts are worth recounting because, like the Vollum estate fiasco, the criminal acts were ill-conceived and sometimes amusing. In 1993, minutes before Monte Clark was to open a show by High Realist, Gideon Flitt in his Carrall Street premises, a junkie ran off with a large canvas which he subsequently attempted to sell in a Downtown Eastside bar. There was an attempt to 'lift' an Inuit soapstone carving from Gastown's Spirit Wrestler gallery. Janice Whitehead recalls "the piece so-overtaxed the felon's strength that he had to abandon it on top of the nearest waist-high surface." Most of the stories, however, are not about strangers, but typically involve addicts who took the trouble to become A similar glass sculpture from Jeff Burnette’s acquainted with the businesses they planned to steal from. Ray-Gunz series was stolen from a Vancouver An $1,800 glass sculpture from the Ray Gunz series by gallery by a drug addict. PHOTO: STEVE PINTER Jeff Burnette was pilfered by a one-armed coke-head who was a familiar visitor at Moon Base on Carrall in 1998. If it had fetched market value, the proceeds could have kept the thief in cocaine (at $10 a hit and at approximately 20 fixes a day) to keep him high for a week. More likely, he netted a few dollars, for a tiny piece of crystal meth or crack cocaine which you could get back then for $6.50. Because of their longevity, relative cheapness, these drugs were supplanting cocaine and heroine. According to Jo Darts of Crafthouse on Granville Island in Vancouver. "Even if a suspected robber whom you can describe, have talked with and who was recorded on camera in your shop, unless the stolen item can be irrevocably linked to him, no charges can be laid." Ron Kong, of Circle Craft said that an elaborate "telephone tree" that he, Darts and other shop managers on the Island participate in has reduced stealing. Shop personnel convey suspicious characters' movements to each other and to Island Security in the hope that the robber will be caught in the act. Officer David Brierley, a Community Police officer, noted that the Internet, surveillance cameras and co-ordinated databases are making it ever more difficult to sell art for drugs. Since it's now possible to obtain a crumb of Crystal Meth for $5 or go on a several-hour-long roar on a $20 eight ball, why bother? My next column will cover the theft of gold artifacts from UBC's Museum of Anthropology, including priceless Bill Reid jewellery.

His new solo exhibition is described as "paying homage to painting's glori- ous past" with "sumptuous" and "seductive" images. Their lushness and their painterly appeal are tempered by Broadworth's deliberate and controlled interpretations of abstract art. Art critic Gary Michael Dault of The Globe and Mail wrote: "Toronto-based painter Jordan Broadworth makes exquisite paintings that hover between being rather lofty embodiments of their own sophisticated, procedural agendas, and providing a kind of lush, down- home hedonism." The opulent, open networks of dia- grammatic coils are interspersed with firm, hard-edged geometrics that systematize the gestural lines and squeegee drips. The works pay homage to the history of abstract art through the linking and reinterpretation of such established codes. They also have that light-hearted and slightly playful look historically associated with Alberta artists – a look that relies on good drawing skills at its founda- Jordan Broadworth, Resist (2007), oil on canvas tion and a distinctive graphic appeal on the surface. [NEWZONES Gallery of Contemporary Art, Calgary AB, Broadworth, who is also a curator, writer, and teacher, May 10-Jun 28] was born in Esquesing, Ontario in 1968. He earned his BFA from NSCAD and subsequently his MFA from the University of Guelph in 1997. An upcoming travelling exhibition of his work entitled Turn will be shown in Moose Jaw from November 5, 2009- January 2, 2010 and in Medicine Hat from January 16- March 7, 2010. Mia Johnson

www.ggibsongallery.com Jim Riswold: Make Believe Artist G. GIBSON GALLERY, SEATTLE, WA – Jul 3-Aug 16 Jim Riswold honed his aptitude for clever thinking during his years as creative director for the Portland ad agency Wieden+Kennedy. Riswold worked on popular campaigns for Nike, including the commercial where Tiger Woods juggles a golf ball. Riswold now exercises his conceptual wit in humorous works that are often ludicrous or absurd. He turned to fine art several years ago after being diagnosed with leukemia and found the process to be therapeutic and fun. He now uses satire as a way to confront subjects that are ordinarily taboo in the realm of humour. In his work, he juxtaposes the unexpected and contradictory to make his points. For example, he sets dolls, puppets and figurines in satirical circumstances, like a miniature toy of Julius Caesar photographed in the middle of a large Caesar salad. In his new exhibit, Make Believe Artist, Riswold turns his sense of parody on icons of the Jim Riswold, Andy of Liberty art world -- much lighter subjects than the mid-20th century dictators (2008) archival digital print Hitler and Stalin he ridiculed in past work. [G. Gibson Gallery, Seattle WA, His homage to Frida Kahlo and to Andy Warhol portray figurines Jul 3-Aug 16] like anatomical diagrams in medical charts. The captions underscore painful milestones or "owies" in each of their lives. Another work plays off Damien Hirst's diamond-encrusted skull, For the Love of God (2007), by coating a skull with rainbow-coloured candy sprinkles. Allyn Cantor

www.iantangallery.com Robert Michener: Gorge Series IAN TAN GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Jul 12-31 In a new series of oil paintings on linen and canvas (fondly described as the "Gorgeous Gorges"), Surrey-based artist Robert Michener creates large and mesmerizing oblique views of cool chasms and river canyons. The fictional panoramas of rock and exquisitely patterned foliage are lightly punctuated with free-wheeling birds or fly fisher- men far below. With their cool colours and serene patterns, the images are nostalgic, almost feminine in feeling. Michener's farm paintings of the 1980s and early 90s with their quilt-like compositions and spatial flattening were influenced by traditional Chinese landscape painting. Like those invented landscapes of simplified forms, tshe Minnesota-born artist carefully constructs new flattened views of the Canadi- an wilderness. The Gorge Series was inspired by a recent auto trip through the stratified geological structures of the Rocky Mountains, where he was reminded of fly fishing in his youth among in the dramatic limestone gorges and ravines of rural Minnesota. Robert Michener, Spring Wind, Cliffs, Crows and Robert Michener earned his BA in 1957 at Hamline Uni- Angler (1997), oil on linen [Ian Tan Gallery, versity in St. Paul, Minnesota. After two years in the US Army, Vancouver BC, Jul 12-31] he earned his M.F.A. at the University of Minnesota in 1962. Michener taught art at the University of Minnesota, Western Washington (Bellingham) and the University of Cincinnati before immigrating to Canada in l973. He was a popular instructor at the Emily Carr Institute (formerly The Vancouver School of Art) from 1973-1999. His sought-after works are included in more than two hundred public, corporate and private collections in Canada, the US and Europe. Mia Johnson

PREVIEW 39 www.elliottlouis.com Katherine Surridge: City Trees, Other Voices ELLIOTT LOUIS GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Jul 22-Aug 9 A impressive new body of paintings by Vancouver artist Katherine Surridge features abstractions of west coast tree branches commingled with poetry-like script. Surridge describes Vancouver's deciduous trees as symbols of peace, as markers of time passing, and as protectors providing shelter, oxygen and stable ecologies. The trees portrayed in City Trees, Other Voices symbolize the spirits of her friends and immortalize the beauty of Vancouver. Inspired in part by the work of Paul Klee, Mark Tobey and Wassily Kandinsky, Surridge is particularly interested in exploring the dynamics of space and energy created when words are combined with tree shapes. The images are layered with text from poems she has written over the years about friends and life. With their flamboyant colours and batik-like textures, the paintings have a strong graphic sensibility. Katherine Surridge has been a visual artist for 25 years and a film- maker for 10 years. She has also been active as a video workshop leader, artist in residence, instructor, juror, writer, panellist and coach. Her art is in many public and private collections including the Burn- aby Art Gallery, Edmonton Art Gallery, Richmond Art Gallery, Surrey Art Gallery, Victoria Art Gallery, Canada Council Art Bank, BCProvin- cial Collection and BC Lottery Foundation. Her films have been broadcast nationally on W Network and on Katherine Surridge, Get The Story (2008), TVO and are used in colleges, libraries and universities across oil and graphite on canvas [Elliott Louis North America. In 2006, Surridge was the Storytelling Artist in Res- Gallery, Vancouver BC, Jul 22-Aug 9] idence at Vancouver's Roundhouse Community Centre, where she made two documentary videos. With her husband John Harris, Sur- ridge distributes her films through their independent film and video production company, Tideline Productions. Mia Johnson

Located off the east coast of Vancouver Island, Salt Spring is home to a large colony of artists and artisans. It is particularly renowned for its stone masons and fine woodworkers. Continuing through the summer and early fall, an innovative sculpture project has been created by Celia Duthie and Nicholas Hunt of Salt Spring Woodworks Gallery. The joint venture showcases work in two adjacent locations by artists from Salt Spring Island and British Columbia. The sculpture garden at Hastings House is open by appointment to the public through arrange- ments with Salt Spring Woodworks Gallery. There is also a 1.5 kilometre public sculpture trail that can be Peter Pierobon, Pas de Deux, bronze, a companion piece accessed from Churchill Road above Hastings House. to the Totem Chairs in The Bellevue Art Museum, WA

Sculpture Garden Visitors travelling from the Long Harbour ferry to the town of Ganges will glimpse a startling installation in a pasture at the intersection of Upper Ganges and Churchill Road. Clad in cape- like wraps fashioned from red car hoods, The Gatherers by Den- man Island’s Michael Dennis, guest feature artist, is a capricious lineup of nine figurative artworks ranging from five to eight feet. Like ancient warriors coming over the hill, the striking figures inspire a mix of trepidation, curiosity and amusement. At the entrance to the Hasting House drive, visitors are greeted by Michael Dennis’ Sentinel, a tall figurative sculpture carved Kathy Venter, Here and There, terra cotta from natural red cedar that is both welcoming and vigilant. In and hydrostone sculpture the distant field can be seen another series of his work: Red- heads, a line of blackened cedar figures with metal heads resembling exotic women in wild headgear or a new and curious species of barnyard life. Six additional art pieces are installed at Hastings House, which was built between 1900 and 1940 as a working farm on 22 lush acres of gardens, meadowland and forest. It is now home to the Hastings House Country House Hotel. The property echoes the charm and elegance of an English country manor with its luxurious flower beds, gently sweeping lawns and wind- ing walkways, complete with wishing well and sunlit terraces overlooking the Ganges harbour. The open-faceted form of Nike by Michael Dennis conjures up the Winged Victory of Samothrace. Den- nis’ Nike, referring to the Greek goddess of wind, it was originally shaped from cedar and then cast in bronze. The colossal grey sculpture, like an ancestral Michael Dennis, The Gatherers, found cedar trunks, salvaged shadow, is prominently located outside the Manor car hoods, in the sheep pasture along Upper Ganges Road House in the shade of an enormous red cedar tree.

56 PREVIEW I JUNE/JULY/AUGUST 2008 Nearby stands Sandstone & Red Brick Pillar by Ron Crawford, a master stonemason and noted painter on the island. The towering structure, complete with capstone, was hand-built for the Sculpture Garden from hundreds of carefully selected stones. Ghost Salmon by Paul Burke, from the Blue Horse Folk Art Gallery on Salt Spring Island,consists of three saucy, slightly iridescent hand-carved salmon on plinths climbing the lawn in front of the harbour. A lone figure is seated at the crest of the hill: Here & Here, a sand-blasted terra cotta and hydrostone sculpture by Salt Spring’s Kathy Venter. Reminiscent of abrased figurative art from the early Greeks, the serene piece has beautiful hand and face details. A third installation, Ponticus, by the island’s “mad metalsmith” Michael Robb, mixes salvaged metals welded and molded into a mysterious figure evoking a moose-like creature or the Egyptian jackal Anubis. In a nearby garden is Pas de Deux, a whimsical pair of child-sized bronze chairs by Vancouver sculptor Peter Pierobon Michael Robb, Ponticus, mixed that are finished with a green patina and tipped off balance as if tussling. salvaged metals welded and molded, by the lower patio Sculpture Trail In the mossy forest above Hastings House, guests are invited to walk along cedar bark paths where outdoor site sculptures using natural and found materials have been built. The public sculpture trail is a developing exhibit that will have pieces of art added throughout the season. One of the most interesting pieces is Rewind/Fast Forward, a fictional archeological “dig” by Salt Spring artists Illtyd Perkins and Nicholas Hunt. It combines pottery shards from the work of local artists with objects unearthed nearby from a former dump site they describe as a “late colonial mid- den”. Complete with historical display boards and dig- ging tools, the conceptual work is ironic and whimsical. Closeby is a massive project by UBC M.F.A. graduate Susan- na Kong. Taken from her 2007 Salvage exhibition, the towering piece is suggestive of Smithson’s Spiral Jetty. Around the bend on a trail below, Stefanie Denz’s Ascension climbs the trees. Using pieces of metal screen tied with wire cables in ascending staggered layers, she extends her belief in the environment as “interchangeable with what occu- pies it”. Denz’ delicate touch can also be seen in her Ascension by Stefanie Denz on the trail ephemeral paintings at the Salt Spring Woodworks Gallery. At the top of the trail, two pillars made of long willow branches form Vessels constructed by Melanie Thompson and Steve Paterson. Placed near the trail opening on Churchill Salt Spring Woodworks, a gallery of fine furniture and outdoor Road is Act of Faith by Ron Crawford. The sculpture, is owned by Celia Duthie and Nicholas Hunt.

The exhibit presents a fascinating series of portraits of Plains Indians drawn mainly in pastel. They highlight de Grandmaison's long and successful career as a portraitist in Canada and capture the strength, vitality and emotions of a people he saw as the aris- tocrats of North America. The exhibition includes audio record- ings of interviews with his subjects and of traditional songs. Nicholas de Grandmaison's life took a circuitous journey from his patrician roots in Russia to his induction into a First Nations tribe on the Canadian prairies. Educated in Moscow, he studied art, music, history, languages, cartography and topography before joining the army at age 19. During World War I, he was interned in a German POW camp for four years. As an artist émigré, he studied at the St. John's Wood Art School in London after the war, and later in Paris. He immigrated to Winnipeg in 1923, where he worked at a printing and engraving firm doing portraits mainly of children. De Grandmaison's first exposure to Canada's natives took place in 1930 when he travelled to The Pas in northern Manitoba.

He was elected into the Royal Canadian Academy in 1942. Nicholas de Grandmaison, whose honours include the Order of Canada, died in Calgary in 1978 and was buried in the Peigan Reserve where he had been made an Honorary Chief.

Emily Carr's landscape painting, Somewhere, required the division of treatments to be accomplished separately by two specialists, Rebecca Pavitt, a paper conservator, and myself, as a painting conservator. Emily Carr often painted with oil paint applied directly on a sheet of paper. This artist frequently used animal glue to attach the paper onto a piece of plywood. Attaching a paper support to a piece of plywood can harm the painting's condition. In this case, a seam in the plywood panel caused a split in Somewhere's paper support. Prior to conservation treatment, this landscape had tears, edge loss, nail holes, and overpaint covering old repairs. Strips of wood were nailed into the painting's paper and underlying plywood. Accumulated dirt and a glossy varnish were observed on the surface of the painting. The first stage of treatment was delegated to the paper Emily Carr, Somewhere, prior to conservator, who softened the animal glue and separated the painted conservation treatment paper from the plywood. The split and tears in the paper were re- aligned and mended. The artwork was cleaned to remove dirt. Nail holes and losses were filled with a paper pulp. The completion of Rebecca's treatment included backing the landscape with Japanese paper, and securing the painting to rag board panel for additional support. The next phase in the conservation treatment was transferred to my lab. The painting was tested and customized solutions were employed to thin and remove further dirt and the glossy varnish layer. Overpaint covering old repairs was softened using a gel intermixture and removed. The final stage of conservation treatment entailed inpainting the repaired and missing areas. To complete this cycle of collaboration, another specialist, Brian Dedora, a master gilder and custom framer, was enlisted. A 1930's moulding used by Lawren Harris was selected by the Emily Carr, Somewhere, after painting's owner. After completion of conservation treatment examining the Carr painting, Dedora finished the frame's surface with a white gold leaf having a mellow cast, and an underlying maroon toned base. British gilders of the Victorian age added graphite to red clay to produce a remarkable wine or maroon coloured undertone. This maroon undertone was selected for the frame (as it coincided with the maroon colour evident in the Carr landscape) to produce an overall harmonious effect. Sample of heritage-style frame, c. 1930, favoured A collaborative project finds its success in the by Group of Seven member Lawren Harris combination of expertise and experience brought to it. On many occasions Rebecca Pavitt, Brian Dedora and I have resourcefully worked together on comprehensive projects.

Her massive site installations take the basics of sculpture – form, space and light – and restructures them. She uses every experiential aspect of the environment, including light filtering through the windows, as a sculptural material. Laframboise is known for gorgeous, elevated expans- es of coloured net fashioned into elaborate room-sized constructions. They look like capricious sails gone AWOL, scarcely pinned in place by taut fastenings, recalling the splendour of the Arabian Nights. Her dense organic net forms3 straddling pillars and walls, conjure Edgar Allan Poe's notion of sentient vegetation.

Lethbridge AB, Jun 26-Sep 14] Marie-Josée Laframboise has exhibited her work extensively across Quebec and Europe. She holds MFA degrees from Concordia University and the Glasgow School of Art. Her artworks are usually site-specific, addressing a particular architecture and utilizing available resources. In Points d'inflexion et de rebroussement 2, at Southern Alberta Art Gallery, Laframboise uses the surrounding topography of the city of Lethbridge as the inspiration for her installation. Incorporating her giant net and referring to her studies of regional maps, the installation will offer viewers an interpretation of the local landscape from a sculptor's point of view.

PREVIEW 67 www.preview-art.com www.qpca.com Urbania: Gerald Slota, Christopher Rose, David Isenhour QUALITY PICTURES, PORTLAND OR – Jul 3-Aug 30 In Urbania, photographer Gerald Slota, painter Christopher Rose and sculptor David Isenhour each capture vestiges of contemporary life and confront the realities of urbanization. This exhibition is the first time each artist has exhibited in the Northwest. Gerald Slota, a New York photographer known for his enig- matic black & white photo-collages, works exclusively in colour for this series based on the grungy neighbourhoods that sur- round his Paterson, New Jersey studio. Housing projects, barbed wire and haunting figures are skewed into textural compositions through a labyrinth of processes. He combines paper cutouts, crude mark-making and imagery, then re-works and re-photographs the artworks several times to produce multilayered vignettes. Psychologically dissonant, graphic and surreal, Slota's unconventional methods recreate the tensions of his moody urban environment. Gerald Slota, Leg (2008), archival pigment Brooklyn-based Christopher Rose also expresses the friction print [Quality Pictures, Portland OR, Jul 3- of living in a metropolis through his paintings of the American Aug 30] landscape. Illustrating gridlock, car accidents, crowds and free- way traffic, they are painted in a reduced, almost monochromatic palette. Rose's scenes become simplified patterns that evoke the pathos of overpopulation. David Isenhour's sinister yet humorous sculptures depict genetic research and manipulation of nature. His quasi-scientific forms have the elasticity of a cartoon episode, yet seem like magnifica- tions of cell division and organic mutations. The slick, cast-plastic works have a playful tone and pop style coloration with their automotive paint finishes. He has lived, worked and exhibited in Atlanta, San Antonio, and Brooklyn.

Based on line traditions found in early cultures like the cuneiform writing system of Mesopotamia and Coast Salish visual art, the images have buoyancy not often found in contemporary art. With their abstract wedges, crescents, circles and ovals, the paintings allude to key elements of North- west Coast First Nations art: line, colour, and form, found in the characteristic ovoids, U-forms, split U-forms and S-forms. The works explore middle grounds between painting and drawing, and between painting line and writing line. Born in 1973 in Duncan, BC, lessLIE is Coast Salish of Cowichan, Penelakut, Esquimalt, Irish, Italian, and French descent. His colonized, Catholic, Canadian name is Leslie Robert Sam. He prefers the decolonized artist's name of lessLIE to represent his sense of personal freedom. lessLIE has a Bachelor of Arts degree in First Nations Studies from Malaspina University-College in Nanaimo, BC. He began to study Coast Salish art in 1995. His influences include his cousin Joe Wilson, Manual Salazar, Maynard lessLIE (Coast Salish), Middle Point (2008), acrylic Johnny Jr., Shaun Peterson, Luke Marston and John on paper [Alcheringa Gallery, Victoria BC, Jul 17- Marston, and, in particular, Coast Salish artist Susan A.

After spending time admiring the column and thinking about the tree that was cut down to make it, Wid Chambers recreated the profile of the original Douglas Fir before it was milled. Made mostly of plywood, the skeletal icon of the tree is the central sculpture in his installation. Sound and video taken in Forest Park, one of the world's largest urban woodlands, is projected on several gallery walls simultaneously. Wid Chambers' footage recreates a a surreal forest experience by capturing difficult weather conditions like wind, rain and hail. The lurking reality of industrial Portland, just beyond the trees, cannot be ignored. Glimpses of the cityscape and sounds of automobiles, trucks and airplanes pervade Wid Chambers, video still from Urban Forest (2008) the peaceful auditory tones of wind brushing against [Chambers Fine Art, Portland OR, Jun 4-Jul 25] ferns and the branches of tall trees. The show is an ambitious step for the Portland artist, who is known for his digital prints on canvas and paper. He recently branched out, exhibiting wall reliefs during his last solo show at the Chambers gallery. Allyn Cantor

www.inuit.com Bill Henderson: Making Wood Talk INUIT GALLERY OF VANCOUVER, VANCOUVER BC – Jun 7-27 Kwakwaka'wakw artist Bill Henderson began carving in 1957 at only eight years of age. He was one of seventeen children taught by his father, Sam Henderson Senior, an eminent Nak'waxda'xw Master Carver. Henderson advances the legacy of his family and the cultural traditions of his people by actively working in the arts, visiting schools, teaching others, and hosting tours of his carving shed. He continually invents new masks, plaques, wall panels, canoes, paddles and his infamous totem poles, which range in size from two to forty-two feet tall. In his first solo exhibit, Making Wood Talk, Henderson demonstrates his mastery of red and yellow cedar. The Inuit Gallery is exhibiting pieces created in his instantly recognizable style, including a transformation mask, a totem pole, a talking stick and many other extraordinary masks. His captivating works are created with traditional tools that he makes himself. Bill Henderson was initiated into the sacred Hamatsa society in 1983. The Hamatsa or "Cannibal Dancers" induct only the highest- ranking Kwakiutl. Henderson has also been instrumental in reviving the potlatch, a celebration involving displays of family wealth Bill Henderson (Kwakwaka'wakw), Pugwis with through feasting, dancing, storytelling, and gift-giving – with Kingfisher (2008), red cedar and cedar bark dancers often wearing masks created by Henderson. As a result, he is [Inuit Gallery of Vancouver, Vancouver BC, Jun 7-27] considered a vital contributor to the renaissance of the Northwest Coast communities.

PREVIEW 79 www.douglasudellgallery.com David Pirrie: Risk Analysis DOUGLAS UDELL GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Jun 14-28 Late-18th century artists introduced the idea that the horrors of the mountain environment could also be enticingly beautiful. The resulting nostalgia for distant snow-capped peaks has dominated western art for more than 200 years. Vancouver-born artist David Pirrie goes beyond the romance of the "mountain as vista" to a deliberate conceptual approach. He poses each peak in BC's Coastal Range as a formal, pre- cise object of study. His carefully rendered, quan- tifiable images are almost clinical, like computer- ized architectural renderings. By taking each mountain top in isolation, he seems to be providing an act of scientific cataloguing. By setting each one against a monochrome field or geometric patterning, he also creates a kind of technical meditation on the fields of topography and mapping. Pirrie's recurring theme for 15 years has been that of the isolated object captured at a point of impact or breakdown. He has painstakingly pre- David Pirrie, Howse Peak (2008), oil on panel [Douglas Udell sented us with disembodied figures, car crash- Gallery, Vancouver BC, Jun 14-28] es and mountain peaks slowly crumbling. Within the detailed rocky escarpments of Risk Analysis are glimpses of the geological disintegration that fascinate him. In the early 21st Century, his work points to the horrors of earthquakes and other imminent geological collapse. David Pirrie earned a Diploma of Studio Arts in 1988 at Capilano College, North Vancouver, and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1993 at Montreal's Concordia University. With exhibition titles like Risk Analysis, Western Drift, Subduction Zone and The Loneliest Highway, he literally positions us on the existential and geological edges of the earth. Mia Johnson

Largely self taught, he has had editorial work in Time, Fortune, Wired, the New York Times Magazine, Newsweek, National Geographic, Forbes, Elle, Paris Match, and the New York Times newspaper, among other prestigious titles. Between 1987 and 1997 Girard established himself as a photographer based in Hong Kong. Contact Press Images, an international photojournalism agency in New York, has represented Girard since 1990. In 1993, in collaboration with photographer Ian Lambot, Girard published City of Darkness, a book chronicling the final years of the Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong. Since 1998, Girard has focused on Shanghai's building boom and the social and physical transformations of a former way of life. China has spent much of the last decade demolishing millions of old buildings Greg Girard, Jianguo Lu Neighbourhood Demolition and relocating tens of millions of people. Urban devel- (2008), c-print [Monte Clark Gallery, Vancouver BC, opment for profit, suspended by China's Communist May 22-Jun 28] government for nearly half a century, has reached a frenzied and unprecedented peak in Shanghai. As Girard puts it, "For the past five years I've been photographing the buildings, shops, homes and neighborhoods that are unlikely to survive Shang- hai's vision of its own future". In 2002 Girard launched the picture agency documentCHINA in collaboration with Fritz Hoff- mann. The online archive specializes in contemporary photography from China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Girard has lectured and exhibited internationally in Germany, the UK, Asia, and North America. In 2007, his work was the subject of Phantom Shanghai, a monograph with foreword by William Gibson published by The Magenta Foundation. Mia Johnson

www.fosterwhite.com Stephen Filla: Developing the Language of Paint

FOSTER/WHITE GALLERY, PIONEER SQUARE, SEATTLE WA – June 5-28 In his first solo show at the Foster/White Gallery, Stephen Filla creates provocative abstractions combining layers of oil paint and transparent polymer resin. The Minneapolis artist, who recently received his MFA from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, bases his work on photographs taken during his travels to Vietnam and the Pacific Northwest. His macro views of bark, moss, lichen, weathered stone and worn paint on buildings highlight the subtleties of the aged surfaces. Patterns of oxidized copper, rust, fractured stone and stained cement are meticulously magnified in his complex compositions. Building on the tactile nature of his imagery, Filla distills elements of his photographs into deep fluid hues that recede against a sequence of fluctuating details, reminding us of the way water beads on a nonporous surface. Filla translates his Stephen Filla, Adrift and decompressed is the initial source imagery into liquid textures that appear to occur way I like it best (2008), oil paint, polymer naturally. His paintings are nonetheless reminiscent of the resin [Foster/White Gallery, Pioneer Square, moody ambience often found in Northwest landscapes. Seattle WA, Jun 5-28] The true-life organic sensibility in Filla's work is an exten- sion of his belief that painting is not separate from its environment, but rather is part of the ongoing continuum of space-time. He is interested in the associa- tions and connections brought to a painting by different individuals, and allows the experience of a work to be continually reinvented and re-established by different viewers.

In the 1960s he painted in a style that resembled the energetic works of Willem de Kooning or Franz Kline. He applied oils heavi- ly in bulkier forms and took an expressionistic approach to subjects like mountains and forests. In the 1970s, Dai- ley's landscapes became more refined and subdued as he developed the framework for his later work. He became known for large-scale abstractions that translate the landscape into radiant light and soft ethereal fields of graduat- ed colour. During his lengthy career, Dailey's paintings have become increasingly reduced to pure, sensuous spaces with a feeling of atmospheric depth. With colour and light as pri- mary elements, a Rothko-like sense of luminosity is indica- Michael Dailey, California Coast (1966), oil on tive of Dailey's mature style. Grounded in formal elements of canvas [Hallie Ford Museum of Art, Salem OR, Jun 7-Aug 31] Collection of the artist, Seattle geometry that frame the central open-air composition, the pervading tone or mood becomes the real subject of Dailey's work. He constructs his more general- ized images through a methodical process of reworking painted hues. The resulting evocative realms are distinctive for their complexity of colour. Michael Dailey's work has been widely exhibited over the last five decades. It is included in prominent collections at the Museum of Modern Art in NY, The Smithsonian Institution, Wash- ington, DC, The Municipal Gallery of Modern Art in Dublin, Ireland, as well as at the Seattle, Tacoma, and Portland Art Museums. This exhibit includes a full colour monograph. Allyn Cantor
