preview-art.com PREVIEW 11 Citi ens of Craft albertacraft.ab.ca ALBERTA CRAFT GALLERY, CALGARY AB – Through Sep 23, 2017 Among the recurring conversations that characterize the art of our time is the false dichot- omy that pits art against craft. In a statement announcing the inaugural exhibition of the Cal- gary location of the Alberta Craft Gallery, organizers address the question head-on by asking “other provincial and territorial craft councils to unify, to stop trying to defi ne craft and to instead celebrate its diversity.” The gallery’s emphasis on “diversity” over the inevitable hierarchies that result from at- tempts to defi ne a work as “art” or “craft” mirrors an emergent contemporary art (and culture) conversation that dispenses with predetermined ideas of artist and viewer in favour of a relational or participatory subject. Here, too, the gallery has addressed the situation: “If you respect the original, the creative, the personal and the authentic – you are a Citizen.” Included in this exhibition Dawn Detarando, Honeycomb and Anemone Dahlia I & II (2016), porcelain are citizen artists who hail mostly from Alberta’s bigger cities. Jackie Anderson, Evelyn Grant, Terri Millinoff, Sung Nam Kim, Jill Nuckles, Jean-Claude and Talar Prefontaine, Dena Seiferling and Laura Sharpare from Calgary; Holly Boone, Kenton Jeske, Brenda Philp and Brenda Raynard are from Edmonton; Dawn Detarando and Brian McArthur are from Red Deer; and Julia Reimer is from the town of Black Diamond.

14 PREVIEW n SEP-OCT 2017 H OPEN LATE ON FIRST THURSDAYS Cutline From the Photograph Archi es of the Globe and ail ART GALLERY OF ALBERTA, EDMONTON AB – Through Nov 12, 2017 youraga.ca For years, newspapers were as much a part of our daily lives as the weather they reported on. Yet, while technological innovation allowed for cheaper photographic reproduction (and fewer words accompanying images), the same advanc- es led to a decline in newspapers’ “hard copy” presence. In this National Gallery of Canada touring exhibition, viewers have an opportuni- ty to see not only what made the news, but also how that news was made. Drawn from the Globe’s donation of 25,000 press photographs to the NGC’s Canadian Photography Institute, the exhibition is less a chronology of iconic events from the 1950s to the 1980s than an undulating montage – what co-curator Richard Hargreaves refers to in the newspaper that commissioned these photos as “an attempt to tell a narrative about the nature of the complexity of newspaper photography in a non-conventional, non-linear way.” Key to the exhibition is the accompanying image of the cutline information, found on the back of each photographic print. A chilling ex- ample includes a 1948 photo of the “DEAD BODY OF WILLIAM POOLE,” whose corpse was redacted and cropped to reveal only the OF CANADA GALLERY TO THE CANADIAN PHOTOGRAPHY INSTITUTE OF NATIONAL GIFT OF THE GLOBE AND MAIL NE SPAPER “SAFE OF TORONTO FLORIST CO-OP- Unknown photographer, Dave John Bryant and son in Toronto for ERATIVE” he was trying to crack before he peace demonstration (1961), photograph was “SHOT BY POLICE.” A cheekier exam- ple is a photo of three Toronto convicts hiding their faces behind newspapers as they are led from the courtroom by a cop.

The response exceeded expectations, with over 800 applications received from artists from Sebasto- pol to São Paulo. “The caliber and strength of the submissions was striking,” writes former Access director/curator Kim- berly Phillips. “It was immediately clear that what we had initiated was not simply an artist residency, but a powerful framework through which to address the complexity of our contemporary condition.” In 2015, a jury of art professionals was convened to select four emergent artists “linked by the suppleness and strength of their past work and – of particular importance in this context – by practices defi ned by a ARTIST THE OF COURTESY Lili Huston-Herterich, page from logbook perceptible and sustained state of seeking.” (Twenty-Three Days at Sea) (2017), pen on paper As with the inaugural group, the Chapter Two art- ists (Michael Drebert, Lili Huston-Herterich, Rebecca Moss and Sikarnt Skoolisariyaporn) were offered exhibitions at which to display their artworks, as well as their logbooks. As one might expect from such a passage, it is the logs (as evidenced by Huston-Herterich’s Karaoke Songs: Possibly Symbolic/Possibly My Range) that manage to convey both the monotony of the artists’ outer world and the imagination at work within.

Well no n Wor s b Chris Cran salmonarmartscentre.ca SALMON ARM ARTS CENTRE, SALMON ARM BC – Sep 1-30, 2017 Chris Cran’s interest in the lazi- ness of everyday language makes writers think twice when writing about his work. Indeed, to write that Cran is fresh off an acclaimed National Gallery of Canada sur- vey exhibition of his work is to risk having the words FRESH OFF tramp-stamped onto a painting of a bare lower back and donated to a fundraiser under the writer’s name. Not that Cran would do this – he is funnier than that. Funnier and more generous. In recognition of his roots in BC’s Shuswap region, Cran and his col- lectors have made available to the Salmon Arm Arts Centre a series of paintings that highlight his re- nowned wit, but also the many styles in which he works, from photo-real- istic self-portraits to those that com- Chris Cran, Untitled (1990), acrylic on board bine elements of Pop Art, Op Art, Minimalism and abstraction. What is not readily on display but is implied in Cran’s paintings is the importance he places on the view- er’s role in completing what hangs before them. “It’s an absolute honour to host this exhibition,” says director/curator Tracey Kutschker. “I wanted to give our community a chance to spend some time with Chris’ work. His pieces play on illusion and perception, so they will challenge our visitors, and perhaps leave them wondering what story lies beyond the image. Michael Turner

But given the many personnel changes at BC’s public art galleries of late, it was felt that men- tion should be made of those who craft these ex- hibitions. A signifi cant change occurred at the Kelowna Art Gallery this past summer with the retirement of curator Liz Wylie and the hiring of Toby Lawrence. Lawrence was born in Kamloops but grew up on Vancouver Island, where she attended UVic and worked at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria. “My work as assistant curator with the AGGV was foundational to a shift into dialogic and collabora- tive curatorial methodologies,” says Lawrence. PHOTO NICOLE STANBRIDGE Kelowna Art Galleryʼs new curator, Toby Lawrence Throughout her assistantship at the AGGV and later at the Vancouver Art Gallery (after completing her MA in Critical and Curatorial Studies at UBC), Lawrence remained involved in independent projects. One was an inaugural retreat for Vancouver Island curators, something that “could be valuable in the Interior region as well.” Those eager for Lawrence’s fi rst KAG exhibition will have to wait, as the gallery is booked through the fi rst half of 2018. In the meantime, she will “aim to develop a curatorial program that strengthens the position of the KAG as the community’s leader for art, representing the artistic activity of the region and honouring the traditional territory and people of the Syilx/Okanagan First Nations, while expanding the parameters of what is possible through art.” Michael Turner paintings of sandstone formations Sunshine Quilters Guild.

D MI I New Media Gallery, New Westminster, Aug 5-Oct 1 This dazzling exhibition of internationally acclaimed new media artists places us on the fl uctuating boundary between the natural and the technological, the real and the illusory, the organic and the code. Work ranges from a shifting and shimmering LED matrix by Jim Campbell to Kathy Hinde’s piano soundboard “played” by a fl ock of swallows, and from a fantastical spinning sculpture of stroboscopic light by Mat Collishaw to the “generative sound” of Davide Quayola’s plant studies.
CIT CAP IMPR I I M Uno Langmann, Vancouver, Thru Sep 30 Although Impressionist artists are often associated with shimmering, sunlit land- scapes, they also focused their proto-Modernist vision on the energy and vibrancy of city life. This exhibition highlights Impressionist cityscapes by six artists, including Frederic Marlett Bell-Smith. Born in England, Bell- Smith immigrated to Canada at the age of 20 and dedicated much of his career to Canadian subject matter. However, he also made return trips to England, as evident in his lively London street scenes.
R B CCA C AP R : CA PAI TI Seymour Art Gallery, North Vancouver, Sep 2-Oct 14 Psychological symbols and narrative currents swirl around the young women in Rebecca Chaperon’s paintings. Her fi gures often appear to be enacting mysterious rites in surrealistic landscapes. In her latest se- ries of paintings, the recurring image of the cave suggests uncertainty and ambiguity. It is, Chaperon says, “an imagined psychological space where introspection and transformation take place.” Emerging from their cave habitations, her fi gures resonate with an odd otherness.
T B AUTIFU BRAI Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery, Vancouver, Sep 5-Dec 3 One of three complementary exhibitions on at the gallery, The Beautiful Brain features the drawings of Santiago Ramón y Cajal (1852- 1934), known as the father of modern neuroscience. A Spanish pathologist, histologist and neuroscientist, he won a Nobel Prize in 1906 for his dis- covery of the existence and structure of neurons. Long before nerve cells could be visualized through electron microscopy, he created speculative drawings of them, brilliantly informed by both his scientifi c insights and his early training in art.
AD R South Main Gallery, Vancouver, Sep 8-Oct 1 Vancouver artist Eve Leader creates evocative oil paintings on Mylar, combining fi guration and abstraction to muse on the human condition, the mystery of life and the elusive nature of reality. “I try to capture that moment of bewilderment when structure and order in our existence break down, everything looks unfamiliar, and we are sure of nothing,” she writes in her statement. Her hovering, androgynous fi gures suggest loss, fragility and mortality, but also compassion and the redemptive power of love.

26 PREVIEW n SEP-OCT 2017 H OPEN LATE ON FIRST THURSDAYS preview-art.com PREVIEW 27 Tamm Sal l Into the Woods tworiversgallery.ca TWO RIVERS GALLERY, PRINCE GEORGE BC – Through Oct 8, 2017 For many, mention of “the woods” brings to mind a forest setting populated by plants and animals, a place of peace or treachery, depending on who is telling the story. If the teller is Forest Idyll (1924) sculptor Albin Polasek, the woods are a gentle place where man and nature coexist; if the teller is Tammy Salzl, coexistence is a more complicated affair, and not without its con- fl icts. Salzl’s current series of oil and watercolour paintings provides scenes that evoke those found in classical my- thology through to more recent works like The Wizard of Oz and Disney fi lms. In The Chorus (2011), Artemis, the Greek goddess of the hunt and the forest, sits atop a mound of dead animals in the middle of a clear-cut. In The Sacrifi ce (2008), a child in red slippers is led down a path by an older axe-toting fi gure. With its narrative and decorative elements, it is hard Tammy Salzl, The Chorus (2011), oil on canvas not to think of The Sacrifi ce as a confl ation of the Old Testament story of Abraham and Isaac and The Wizard of Oz. Making this work especially poignant is the model Salzl used for the child’s face and body – her daughter, who recently underwent gender-confi rming surgery. Michael Turner

How appropriate, then, to organize an international touring exhibition based on representations of the tree as a model for how one views life, and how that life is embodied. Included in Tree of Life are 58 artists and craftspeople from 20 countries across Central, South, East and Southeast Asia. As with recent exhibitions rooted in the natural world, Tree of Life, like the Museum of Anthropology’s Amazo- nia: The Rights of Nature (through January 28, 2018), is motivated not only by aesthetics but also by more press- ing issues. For co-curator Manjari Nirula, Tree of Life aims “to create greater awareness about the importance of ecology and its connection to our lives, to stimulate creativity and highlight cultural sustainability. The roots of the tree are our beliefs, the trunk is our mind and body, and the branches are our wisdom.” Most of the works in Tree of Life are wall works. High- lights include the hand-cut paper landscapes of China’s Yu Yuan, the hand-painted batiks of Taiwan’s Tzu Lo Cho and the devotional miniature paintings of India’s Untitled Bharti Dayal, (undated), Madhubani painting in Jai Prakash, who has been declared by his country to be acrylic and natural dyes on canvas a “living national treasure.” Michael Turner most dynamic artists.

Stemming from a childhood fascination with death, Of Tristia, Forlorn! explores the unfathomable symbiosis that exists between life af- ter death, and death after life. Heavily influenced by poetry and cultural su- perstition, Michelle Nguyen explores these themes through the surreal, macabre, erotic and oftentimes humorous subjects present in her oil and pastel canvases. Sep 30-Oct 11 Spotlight on Joseph Plaskett. A special showcase of one of Canada’s most celebrated painters, the late Order of Canada-recognized Joseph Plaskett. Oct 14-28 Cori Creed.

Historic Mahon Hall on Salt Spring Island
MAHON HALL, SALT SPRING ISLAND BC – Sep 23-Oct 22, 2017 “This exhibition is exemplary – a diverse showcase of visual art from across Canada. I’m very happy for all the artists involved, including the winners,” says Vicky Chainey Gagnon, who was a juror for the inaugural Salt Spring National Art Prize (SSNAP), in 2015. Only in its second year, SSNAP has become one of Canada’s largest national visual arts prizes. The 2017 jury – composed of David Garneau, Denis Longchamps and Naomi Potter – recently selected 49 works out of over 2,000 entries. The 2017 SSNAP Finalists’ Exhibition opens at a gala on September 22 at Mahon Hall on Salt Spring Island; the winners will be announced at another gala event on October 21. Founding director Ronald T. Crawford is proud of the quality of the work chosen, saying, “This is going to be one of the best visual arts exhibitions in Western Canada, if not countrywide.” Two-time fi nalist Cheryl Wilson-Smith of Red Lake, Ontario, believes the prize is an important showcase: “Attending the exhibition in 2015 offered me connections with artists from across Can- ada. To speak and share perspectives with them was invigorating.” John David James from Salt Spring Island, who is also a two-time fi nalist, says, “What I love about SSNAP is that it’s national, it’s juried by three judges who are blind to the identity of the artists, and it offers a way for artists to develop their work further.” Finalists’ works will be revealed at the opening and will feature two- and three-dimensional pieces. Artists incorporated beads, moose hide, otter skin, hand-spun book pages, oak and spider- web into their pieces. Deirdre Rowland

With soft- box lighting that’s respon- sive to outdoor conditions, a north-facing window framing a forested view of the Coast Mountains, and fabric-clad walls and edge-grain hemlock fl oor- ing keyed to a West Coast palette, the new exhibition space stands in contrast to the older “black box” ap- proach to museum display. Converted from MOA’s former theatre space, the PHOTO KYLA BAILEY gallery is compact in size – 210 square metres – yet expansive in its aspirations. It will spotlight a private gift of 230 historical and contemporary Northwest Coast “masterworks” while also being the site of rotating temporary exhibitions. The inaugural show, In a Different Light: Refl ecting on Northwest Coast Art, runs through June 2019. Located at the University of British Columbia, MOA has long been acclaimed for its outstand- ing collection of Northwest Coast First Peoples’ art and its award-winning Arthur Erickson- designed building. In this gallery, public and private funding has enabled the extensive renovation and the installation of state-of-the-art amenities including movable, seismically stabilized display cases, “Idea Chairs” with built-in audio, and other immersive audiovisual components. An additional interactive feature consists of four monumental cedar boards from a Tsimshian house-front screen dating back to the early 1800s. Heavily weathered, their painted designs are scarcely visible under conventional lighting. A visitor-triggered sensor, however, switches on nar- rowly focused LED lights that “pop the original designs into relief” – an apt metaphor for the meeting of old and new in the Masterworks gallery.

But where əsnaʔəm, the city before the city (2015) at the UBC Museum of Anthropology and Susan Point: Spindle Whorl (2017) at the Vancouver Art Gallery focused on a Musqueam city and artist, respectively, Klahoose/German guest curator Sharon Fortney has assembled works by artists from all corners of the Coast Salish territory – on both sides of the border.
Included in the exhibition are PHOTO SHARON FORTNEY Squamish jeweller Aaron Nelson- Tracy Williams, Untitled 00 , cedar bar , feathers Moody, Cowichan printmaker lessLIE, Quinault/Isleta Pueblo sculptor Marvin Oliver, Stó:lō multimedia performer Ostwelve (Ronnie Dean Harris), and two artists for whom weaving is central to their practice – Semiah- moo’s Roxanne Charles and Squamish’s Tracy Williams. “Intangible alludes to the hidden or unseen elements of Coast Salish culture that guide each of these artists in their work,” writes Fortney. “We want visitors to realize that they are only seeing one element of culture – important aspects like language, traditional knowledge, the importance of place, are not always represented by visual culture.” With regards to how one exhibits that which is “hidden or unseen,” Fortney, whose doctoral research focused on “the status of community and museum relations in Canada and the US,” is less interested in traditional museological devices like wall didactics than in videotaped artist interviews and interventionist performances.

THE ORNAMENT OF A HOUSE: FIFTY YEARS OF COLLECTING is the big commemorative publication accompanying the Burnaby Art Gallery’s recent 50th-an- niversary exhibition. As with that show, the book spotlights 50 works on paper from the permanent collection, each chosen and annotated by one of the gallery’s “friends.” Artists, critics, curators, collectors and donors explain why they have picked a particular print, drawing or collage, and their remarks range from the scholarly and analytical to the personal and nostalgic.
Hardcover, 131 pp., $50 CAD. Available at the Burnaby Art Gallery, 604-297-4422.
A LEGACY OF CANADIAN ART FROM KELOWNA COLLECTIONS is the catalogue to another anniversary exhibition, one celebrating the KAG’s 40th (Jul 1-Oct 15).

ELAD LASSRY is the companion publication to the same-named Vancouver Art Gallery exhibition (Jun 24-Oct 1). Surveying a decade of work by the Los Angeles-based artist, it demonstrates his interest in “the nature of visual representation,” with a special focus on the photographic image. Lassry makes, appropriates, wraps, obscures and alters photographs, his apparent subjects ranging across people, animals and still life as he deconstructs advertising, fashion, and other commercial photographic forms and strate- gies. With essays by co-curators Kathleen Bartels and Jeff Wall.

Softcover, 88 pp., $20 CAD. Available at thepolygon.ca or 604-986-1351.

preview-art.com PREVIEW 51 aniel as arin ruins and reclamation deluge.ws DELUGE CONTEMPORARY ART, VICTORIA BC – Sep 8-Oct 7, 2017 About ruins and reclamation, Daniel Laskarin writes, “A great deal of my work comes from refl ecting on how we put our selves together. This is to say that we compose ourselves, of scraps of genetics, family, experiences, environment, choices, unchosen im- pacts. Not to say that we are in con- trol or that we are masters of who/ what we are – we surf our lives; it’s all makeshift, as is the artwork.” Fitting words for someone as wide-ranging as this, whose fi rst ca- reer, as a helicopter pilot and engineer, is as rich in industrial romance as his intriguing paintings and sculptures. In Daniel Laskarin, How a thing is made (detail) (2017), aluminum and wood his mid-30s, Laskarin changed course to pursue a BFA at Simon Fraser University and an MFA at the University of California, Los An- geles. He is now an associate professor of visual arts at the University of Victoria. The show will consist of two parts. Part one, ruins, includes up to fi fteen 36-by-24-millimetre paintings based on photographs taken at Expo 86. These tiny artworks are 30 years old, having been created in 1987, and feature alien confi gurations of shapes and lines in dune-like settings. Part two, reclamation, is a new, large-scale sculpture measuring 6 feet by 10 feet that involves an elderly work table in the embrace of an angular aluminum construction. Christine Clark

The six met while studying at the Vancouver Island School of Art and will be presenting works of abstract painting, fi gurative painting, paper-cut- ting, collage, sculpture and photography, curated by Wendy Welch. Inspired by the legendary Limners of Victoria and de- termined to support one another, this new collective is named after the boxcars the Group of Seven rode on their painting trips. Thomas explains, “We all believe that by coming together as artists and working as a group, we can achieve more than if we were only working individually.” Kuyper and Wilson both hold BFAs from the Univer- sity of Gloucestershire, Thomas earned an MA in Art/ Environment from Falmouth University, Babineau holds a BFA from UBC, Hewko has a background in design and Joanne Hewko, Bijoux Deluxe (2017), gouache on board architecture, while Long holds a diploma from Vancou- ver Island School of Art. As a group, BOXCARSIX has created the popular drop-in class Draw by Drawing, organized two group shows and completed a commissioned series of drawings for St. Philip Church in Oak Bay, BC.

The “Who is this artist?” question propelled me on a long and rewarding journey. Here was an Ed- wardian Englishman (1889-1972) who had created an im- portant record of First Nations Peoples and their cultures with carefully dated portraits and journals documenting Coast Salish, Nuu-Chah-Nulth, Kwakwaka’wakw, Tlingit, Haida and Ktunaxa communities in BC and Alaska. Very little information existed about him, but over four years, I acquired a deeper understanding of his work by reading his 47 diaries, loaned by his widow to encourage my writing of his story: The son of a tailor’s assistant, he was born in the slums of Victorian London and, with de- termination and passion, followed his dream of becoming an artist. Further research criss-crossed the Atlantic, a journey Pitts made many times. Leaving school at 14 to help support his family, Pitts apprenticed with a London commercial art fi rm. He soon began studying photography, and in 1909 numerous references to painting start appearing in his journal. His fi rst great adventure was moving to South Africa in 1912. Working for a rural railway, he commenced a quest to learn about the Zulu. He photographed them and their villages, studied customs and dialects, and enjoyed friendships. After coming to Canada in 1914, Pitts worked a long, hot summer on a Prairie farm until World War I began and he enlisted with the 27th Battalion in Vancouver. While fi ghting in Europe in 1915, he was severely wounded and brought back to BC. He lived on the Saanich Peninsula, near Victoria, home to the Wsáneć people, where he met the love of his life, Peggy McKenzie. Once recovered, he started formal art training, fi rst by correspondence and then at the Westminster School of Art in London in 1920. His return to BC brought him to the Vancouver School of Decorative and Applied Arts and into the orbit of Frederick Varley, Charles Scott and Jock Mac- donald. Pitts had a successful decade in commercial art, during which he travelled to coastal First Na- tions communities to sketch and paint. With invitations and permission from Coast Salish fami- lies, he experienced and recorded their cultures and ceremonies. After his 1930s sketching trips, which included Alaska and the Kootenays, Pitts and McKenzie spent 10 years in London. After World War II, back home in Saanichton, he was pleased to fi nally sell his First Nations water- colours to the Royal BC Museum and the Glenbow Museum. In his later years, he continued to paint, exhibit, travel and teach art. This article is based on the book of the same name, 10th in The Unheralded Artists of BC series (Mother Tongue Publishing), which illustrates and explores the lives and art of important but previously undocumented BC artists from the 1900s through the 1960s. The Life and Art of Arthur Pitts by Kerry Mason, with a foreword by Daniel Francis, is due out in November 2017 from mothertonguepublishing.com.

A MCADAM Elizabeth Leach Gallery, Portland, Sep 7-30 Combining seem- ingly disparate concepts and divergent styles into a singular composition, Shane McAdams’ scenes are rooted in the possibilities of landscape painting and the broadest sense of how landscape permeates reality. Using inventive techniques and mundane materials such as ballpoint pen, the artist is inter- ested in oppositions that merge the traditional language of painting with illusionistic space to create sublime, otherworldly scenes. McAdams’ paint- ings consider what looks like nature, what symbolizes and idealizes nature, and what is nature.
BI I Ronna and Eric Hoffman Gallery of Contemporary Art, Lewis & Clark Col- lege, Portland, Sep 10-Dec 10 This site-specifi c installation by Portland artist Bill Will transforms the Hoffman Gallery into an interactive art environ- ment in which the visitor activates the art. Fun House requires participants to follow a circuitous marked course where mechanical devices start and stop, objects become illuminated then fade. The dramatic effect of sculptural con- traptions, both static and kinetic, is enhanced by sound recordings, theatrical lighting and ambient breezes, creating a multisensory experience that crosses the boundary into theater as viewers become part of the live art piece.
MARI ATT PDX Contemporary Art, Portland, to Sep 30 Marie Watt is well known for her use of reclaimed wool blankets to construct art, exploring in- dividual and communal human stories through this commonplace yet deeply personal material. She uses histories and oral traditions from around the world, Indigenous design principles, and her own Native traditions to convey ideas. The exhibition Companion Species draws from the Native concept of animals as the fi rst teachers of humans and uses the inspiration of the Etruscan she-wolf nursing Remus and Romulus to look at the reciprocal responsibility between humans and nature, and at how cultures view their relationship with animals.
A A DRA A IADA Blue Sky, Portland, Sep 7-Oct 1 The vibrant geometric forms in Alejandra Laviada’s photographic prints appear to be suspended in space, yet the images are constructed entirely without digital manipula- tion. Laviada’s work explores the intersection between painting, sculpture and photography. Her approach of composing and layering images inside the camera lets the process of fi lm photography reveal abstracted realities invisible to the naked eye. The Mexico City artist carefully stages each ex- posure, altering vantage points and employing fi lters to affect scale, color, shape and transparency.
F Douglas F. Cooley Memorial Art Gallery, Reed College, Portland, to Oct 1 Part of Portland’s Time-Based Art Festival, (SELF) engages artists and collectives to address “one’s own person” in an evolving exhibition context supporting the poetics of self-refl ection. Two bodies of work by Nona Faustine & Paige Powell are central. Faustine’s series Mitochondria focuses on her familial bonds with her mother and daughter as three generations of African American wom- en living together. Powell’s installation of photos and ephemera from her vast archives captures artists and social scenes in New York in the 1980s. Works by the Nat Turner Project, home school, R.I.S.E and more amplify this exhibition. preview-art.com PREVIEW 61 Representing Vernacular Photographs of b and for African Americans PORTLAND ART MUSEUM, PORTLAND OR – Through Dec 3, 2017 portlandartmuseum.org The Portland Art Museum’s photography curator, Julia Dolan, was browsing Instagram when she saw a cache of snap- shots of African Americans like nothing she usually comes across online or in the archives she enjoys exploring. The vernacular snapshots of mid-20th-century African American life were from Peter J. Cohen’s collection (IG: @pjcohencollection). “I contacted Peter right away and said ‘I have to have them!’ ” Dolan explains. Her enthusiasm led her to collections of other “vernacular” photographs of African Americans, and two years later this show was born. The pictures are often grouped by theme: men posing with their cars; badly lit birthday parties and fl ash-lit silky gradua- tion robes. “Vernacular” here means casual photography, from Brownie shots to Polaroids. Calling cards on paper or on tin were also a popular way to share a portrait, and from the 1880s on they cost as little as a few cents each. American Orator Frederick Douglass was one of the most photographed men of any race during his later years. You won’t Unknown photographer, Carl Deiz (c. 1924), see him here, but you will see stunning studio portraits and can- silver gelatin print did snapshots of African-Americans, often fi nely dressed. The show also features comfortably middle class photos from the estate of a North Portland couple, Carl and Judge Mercedes Deiz. (Carl was a Tuskegee Airman during World War II, and Mercedes was the fi rst black woman to be admitted to the Oregon State Bar.) The images are mostly free of the (photographer’s) dominant white gaze: these were taken of, by and for African Americans. Joseph Gallivan

Founded in 1992 on the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reserva- tion near Pendleton, Oregon, by local artists James Lavadour (Walla Walla) and Phillip Cash Cash (Cayuse and Nez Perce), the nonprofi t fosters the work of Indigenous contemporary artists from across North America.

The arts center also holds a multitude of workshops on both traditional Indigenous arts such as basket weaving, beading and contemporary printmaking. This exhibit includes roughly 80 prints drawn from the Crow’s Shadow Print Archive, focus- ing on themes of abstraction, landscape, media and process, portraiture, word and image, with works by 50 Native and non-Native artists who have worked at CSIA, including Rick Bartow, Pat Boas, Joe Feddersen, Edgar Heap of Birds, Lillian Pitt, Wendy Red Star, Storm Tharp, Marie Watt and others.

But this still leaves a lot for visitors to enjoy. Wyeth (1917-2009), more popular in the 1960s and 1970s than now, is the odd man out in modern Amer- ican art: too realistic, too sentimental and too accessible for followers of the avant-garde. Instead of Christina’s World, SAM curator Patricia Junker has secured a loan from Japan of Thin Ice (1969), an important early work that is, believe it or not, abstract. There’s also a controver- sial and celebrated series, the nude Helga pictures, which were “created in secret… and kept hidden for decades.” This is the fi rst time they have been seen in the Pacifi c Northwest. Using neighbors near his Pennsylvania and Maine homes as models, Wyeth, son of the leading American illustrator of the early 20th century, N.C. Wyeth, retained his father’s skillful representational style, but he added emotional depths and internal psychological vibrations that are closer to Edward Hopper. Wyeth was honored with ANDRE YETH / ARTIST RIGHTS SOCIETY, BRANDY INE RIVER MUSEUM OF ART RIGHTS SOCIETY, ANDRE YETH / ARTIST an exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts Andrew Wyeth, Spring (1978), tempera in London in 1980.

ADRIA AR Abmeyer + Wood Fine Art, Seattle, Sep 7-30 The Missoula, Mon- tana-based, artist who studied at American University in Rome before completing her undergraduate and graduate studies in ceramics in the US, is exhibiting new fi gurative sculptures that draw on her background as an archaeological fi eld-worker in Italy and eastern Washington state. Crusted, aged and yet renewable, the male and female fi gures are drenched in glaze resembling bronze patina and are joined by animals with mythological his- tories such as lions, owls and bees.
A UC I Foster/White Gallery, Seattle, Oct 5-21 Denver artist Shawn Huckins has sent canvases that trawl 18th- and 19th-century American art history, then violate its durability as nationalist verity. Overlaying canon- ical artworks of historical fi gures with jargon from Facebook and other social media, the New Hampshire native extends portraiture into political critique and analysis. For example, among Gilbert Stuart’s iconic portraits of George Washington, Huckins has painted over part of one and added the phrase “lol nope.”
MI Frye Art Museum, Seattle, Sep 23-Dec 31 The late Los Angeles artist (1954-2012) has not been widely seen in the Pacifi c Northwest.

arsha urns oo Again prographicadrawings.com PROGRAPHICA/KDR, SEATTLE WA – SEP 7-OCT 28, 2017 Now that photography is no longer consid- ered a separate or “special” art medium, many artists of the 1970s and 1980s are being over- looked because they concentrated on photog- raphy using real cameras , rather than using the medium to only convey and combine other messages and meanings. Seattle artist Marsha Burns is a good exam- ple. The content of her work is psychological. Widely revered in New York and New Mex- ico during those decades, she vanished into oblivion with the assimilation of photography into contemporary art and is only now being resurrected by Prographica/KDR co-director Norman Lundin. Although her early and middle-period work was exhibited extensively, including at the Seattle Art Museum and the Henry Art Gal- lery, her work of the past three decades is not widely known. Portraits of street people, art- ists and even an art critic or two are smoothly

Teenagers in Frankfurt and Rome are caught or posed, as are street scenes and still lifes. Burns was an early proponent of large-scale Polaroids, and her recent digital images also deserve a closer look. Matthew Kangas
