www.youraga.ca The Automatiste Revolution: Montreal 1941-1960 ART GALLERY OF ALBERTA, EDMONTON AB – Jun 23-Oct 14, 2012 The Automatiste Revolution: Montreal 1941-1960 includes 60 works of art as well as photos, books and other artifacts documenting the infamous avant-garde movement. Curated by Roald Nasgaard, the show was described in Canadian Art as “a signature exhibition of the Automatiste movement that set Quebec on the road to its Quiet Revo- lution”. Organized and circulated by the Varley Art Gallery, Ontario in 2009, the exhibit subsequently travelled to the Albright-Knox, New York, where it was shown alongside paintings by De Kooning, Pollock and Rothko. Under the leadership of Paul-Émile Borduas, the Automatistes challenged the conservative Quebec status quo through their spontaneous painting techniques during the 1940s and ‘50s. They are credited with bringing modernist painting to Canada. Their “stream of consciousness” work – including dance, music, poetry and plays – was abstract, passionate and lyrical. Prominent Quebec artists included Marcel Barbeau, Roger Fauteux, Claude Gauvreau, Pierre Gauvreau and Jean-Paul Riopelle. The Automastistes in Quebec were © PIERRE GAUVREAU / SODRAC (2012) SODRAC / © PIERRE GAUVREAU inspired by the art of their American Pierre Gauvreau, Colloque Exhubérant (1944), mixed media on canvas counterparts, who experimented with the [Art Gallery of Alberta, Edmonton AB, Jun 23-Oct 14] creation of abstract work based on impulses from the subconscious. In 1948 the Quebec Automatistes published Refus global (Total Refusal), a controversial anti-religious and anti-establishment manifesto. It became one of the pillars of the Quiet Revolution, a period of intense artistic and cultural change in Quebec. The group itself disbanded after the death of Borduas in 1960 but many members went on to international acclaim. Mia Johnson

12 PREVIEW I JUNE/JULY/AUGUST 2012 # OPEN LATE ON FIRST THURSDAYS VIGNETTES • June/July/August 2012 Alberta ROBIN LAuReNCe ALEX JANVIER The Art Gallery of Alberta, Edmonton, May 18-Aug 19 This retrospective celebrates one of Canada’s most distin- guished senior artists. Over 90 paintings and drawings illuminate the ways in which Janvier has drawn on his Dene Suline and Saul- teaux background and his study of art history, in evolving his figurative and abstract motifs and his “signature, curvilinear style”. In recent years Janvier has incorporated increasingly political messages into his paintings, as well as allusions to the Aboriginal Alex Janvier Group of Seven.

JAMES LUMSDEN Paul Kuhn Gallery, Calgary, May 26-Jun 30 New abstractions by Scottish painter James Lumsden take their theme and titles – such as Contrapuntal and Fugue – from the rhythms and movements of music. Evolving from his earlier series, Liquid Light, they create atmosphere and luminosity by building up what the artist calls “chromatic strata” – multiple translucent glazes of colour, thinned with gloss medium and manipulated to create engaging textures and a sense of depth and dynamism. CHARLIE RUSSELL AND THE FIRST CALGARY STAMPEDE Glenbow Museum, Calgary, Jun 2-Jul 29 How better to celebrate the 100th James Lumsden anniversary of the Calgary Stampede than with the art of that most iconic of cowboy artists? The Montana-based Russell (1864- 1926) had exhibited 20 paintings, to enormous acclaim, at the first Stampede in 1912. Now 17 of those original works have been gathered to commemorate the event. Look for Russell’s character- istically vigourous depictions of cowboy and aboriginal life and culture, played out against magnificent western landscapes. MARCUS COATES: STORIES FROM THE LOWER WORLD Southern Alberta Art Gallery, Lethbridge, Jun 22-Sep 9 The three films on Charlie Russell view document extraordinary performances by this London- based artist as he inserts himself into socially and politically charged locales and situations. While addressing, for instance, the eviction of the elderly from a condemned housing estate in Liverpool, Coates assumes the role of a shaman, bedecked in the head and hide of a stag or the feathers of a bird. He plays the ridiculous off the heart-felt, and ancient tribal ritual against contemporary contexts of conflict and displacement. LANDWASH: CONTEMPORARY NEWFOUNDLAND ART Esplanade Art Gallery, Medicine Hat, Jun 23-Aug 11 The title of this show, Marcus Coates “landwash”, means “the seashore between high and low tide marks” or “washed by the sea” – and this place and condition are well addressed by artists as diverse as David Black- wood, Will Gill, Christine Koch and The Shed Collective who created The Dark Night of the Ugly Stick, a mixed-media installation that replicates Newfoundland’s vernacular architecture, the shed. This humble rural structure serves as a metaphor for a passing way of life, and as a theatre for a short film lamenting the losses associated with this passing. The Shed Collective

His elegant black-and-white compositions radiate a sense of controlled chaos, whether they are wall-sized panels or the size of a sheet of paper. Trejo applies rapid, tight rotations of a micron pen to produce the miniscule markings. Like electri- cal pulses or atomic particles, the tiny white pen marks emerge from the depth, swarm and coalesce into loosely defined masses, while simultaneously managing to appear in a state of flux. From the smallest to the largest, the images project a sense of comets, star fields, and the solar system. They have been described as “dense clouds of spi- dery filaments”, “satellite photos”, and “astronomic wonders”. The sheer scale, the immensity of the larger artworks is highly engaging and often humbling.

Curated by Jusquan, Amanda Bedard and Jisgang, Nika Collison, the show includes photographs NOSH FARAH PHOTO: K’iis Gwaay Naan (Mary Swanson) of and interviews with the remaining fluent Haida speakers who talk about the profound intersection of language, culture, identity and place. VISIONS OF ENLIGHTENMENT –UBC Museum of Anthropology, Van- couver, May 10-Sep 30 The sculptures, paintings, ceramics and textiles in this exhibition communicate the fundamental precepts of one of the world’s great religions. While spotlighting “the symbols and sacred images developed to represent the Buddha and illuminate his teachings”, the show also traces the spreading influence of Buddhism from its origins in the Indian subcontinent in the 6th-century BC through central, east and southeast Asia. The exquisite works on view include porcelain vessels, a silk brocaded Figure China, Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) monk’s robe, stone and bronze sculptures, and lacquered wood. YO-IN 余韻 REVERBERATION Nikkei National Museum, Burnaby, May 19-Aug 25 Through the wide-ranging work of eight artists, YO-IN marks the 70th anniversary of the wartime internment of Japanese Canadians. Senior artists, who lived through the internment, and a younger generation who have witnessed its legacy, employ a variety of media, including etchings, videos, photographs and multimedia installations, to express themes of memory, Nobuo Kubota place and identity. Collectively, their work examines the still “reverberating” impact of one of Canada’s most infamous acts of displacement and disenfranchisement. TONY SCHERMAN: WORKS ON PAPER Kelowna Art Gallery, Kelowna, Jun 2-Jul 29 Senior Toronto artist Tony Scherman is well represented in this selection of works on paper drawn from the gallery’s permanent collection. Addressing subjects and themes familiar to fans of Scherman’s oil and encaustic paintings, the show includes psychologically charged studies of people, animals, food and flowers. “The seemingly innocuous images…confront some of the darkest aspects of human nature and history.”

THE NEW DESIGN GALLERY: ON THE FRONTIER 1954-1966 West Tony Scherman Vancouver Museum, West Vancouver, Jun 27-Sep 15 A celebration of the enormous contribution made to Vancouver’s formerly “stuffy” art scene in the 1950s and ‘60s by curator Alvin Balkind and his part- ner, architect Abraham Rogatnick. Knowledgeable and sophisticated, they arrived from the US in the mid-1950s and opened the New Design Gallery in West Vancouver, exhibiting and selling cutting- edge contemporary art and design in one of the first such venues in Canada. In 1958, the NDG moved to downtown Vancouver and The New Design Gallery logotype continued to champion modernism and the avant-garde. www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 21 www.saag.ca Milutin Gubash: Remote Viewing: True Stories SOUTHERN ALBERTA ART GALLERY, LETHBRIDGE AB – JUN 22-SEP 9, 2012 Montreal artist Milutin Gubash was born in Serbia. His practice, which encompasses photography, video and performance, features his family and friends. A ten-year survey of work is the subject of a collaborative exhibition project undertaken by the Southern Alberta Art Gallery in conjunction with Rodman Hall Art Centre, Carleton University Art Gallery, Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery and Musée d’art de Joliette. A major publication is planned for release in late 2012. Gubash uses mass media as a vehicle to document and explore his personal history and identity. Incorporating ‘fake’ paintings, website projects, newspaper headlines and comic strips, Remote Viewing: True Stories is a comprehensive look at his work. His signature piece, Born Rich, Getting Poorer, presents six episodes of a DIY sitcom showing Gubash and his family overcoming adversity and political strife, successfully “escaping” the former Communist Yugoslavia, and starting a new life with new issues in Canada.

The VAG show examines her accomplishments in photography and other media, and identifies some of her recur- Marian Penner Bancroft ring themes, such as the bonds of family and friendship, social histories, personal memory, and “the cultural frameworks through which landscape is perceived”. EMILY HOPE: THE WILD MAN APPRECIATION SOCIETY Kamloops Art Gallery, Kamloops, Jun 30-Aug 25 Emily Hope, a graduating student from Thompson Rivers University, has created a tongue-in-cheek “society” and “museum” devoted to the idea of the wild man. An archetypal image of the civilized individual’s “feral double”, present through many cultures and ages around the world, the wild man takes shape in the Pacific Northwest as the Sasquatch. Hope plays on lore and legend with a series of Emily Hope drawings, stories and “artifacts” – everything from giant mittens to beer jugs and playing cards. 2011 PANGNIRTUNG TAPESTRY COLLECTION Inuit Gallery, Van- couver, Jul/Aug The remote Nunavut community of Pangnirtung is renowned for its tapestry weaving, introduced in 1970 as “a medium for Inuit to tell the narratives of their lives and represent their culture”. As with Inuit printmaking, the tapestries, based on drawings by local artists, are designed and produced in annual collections of limited editions. They may also be commissioned as one-of-a-kind Kenojuak Ashevak works for patrons. The studio’s 2011 collection of beautiful woven tapestries, including a collaboration with famed Cape Dorset artist Kenojuak Ashevak, is on view through the summer. SARAH GEE: I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY AND I AM SAYING IT Deluge Contemporary Art, Victoria, Jul 13-Aug 11 Vancouver artist Sarah Gee works primarily with cut-paper collage, creating dazzling neo-geometric compositions that translate the visual experience of a city block into concentric bands of colour. Recent work also includes a series of scorched-paper images that balance austerity with transcendence. An emerging artist to watch out for, “Gee juggles elements of op, pop, hard-edge, and conceptual art within Sarah Gee a beguiling and coherent whole”. PROJECTIONS: THE PAINTINGS OF HENRY SPECK, UDZI’STALIS Satellite Gallery, Vancouver, Jul 14-Sep 15 Organized by the UBC Museum of Anthropology, this Satellite Gallery show revisits an exhibition of the dance-screen paintings of esteemed Kwakwa- ka’wakw artist and hereditary chief, Henry Speck, Udzi’stalis. Originally shown at the New Design Gallery in 1964, the paintings are presented as large-scale projections with a “multi- media back story” that examines Udzi’stalis’s place and work within the “conflicting conditions of modernity”.

PREVIEW 25 www.fosterwhite.com Guy Laramée: Mountains FOSTER/WHITE GALLERY, SEATTLE WA – Jul 5-28, 2012 Québec-based Guy Laramée is a multidisciplinary artist whose work over the last 30 years includes stage writing and directing, composing, singing, painting, literature, video and sculpture. The erosion and degradation of human culture is a theme that runs throughout his art. The notion that books could become obsolete in this digital age is largely poignant in Laramée’s choice to use them as a sculptural medium. Non-fiction books and information-based texts are turned into sculptural landscapes that are realized with great detail and amazing sensitivity. Tiny mountainous forms tower from within an old reference volume and craggy eroded valleys recede into the closed pages of stacked encyclopedias. Laramée is carving and sandblasting these publications to reveal a new life of majestic hillsides, romantic ridges, and other powerfully serene landscapes. The show includes work from three different series of book-sculpture projects created over the last ten years, with forms inspired by Laramée’s affinity for mountains and landscapes as a source of life and possibility. It is incredible that such believable detail can be achieved by sculpting paper – the effect is like Guy Laramée, Brown’s Bible (2012), paper [Foster/White looking into another world, where culture’s grip Gallery, Seattle WA, Jul 5-28] has loosened, information has been sculpturally subtracted, and there is room within the timeless landscape for new discovery. The idea that knowledge is gained by reduction rather than accumulation has a great deal of conviction in these works. Within Laramée’s pages an abundance of information is disguised allowing a universal beauty to unfold. Allyn Cantor

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 27 GALLERY VIEWS BY ANN ROSENBERG [email protected] Professional curators of contemporary art were once as scarce as hen’s teeth The academic approach to the world of curating has certainly been transformed since earning my MA in Fine Arts from the University of Toronto in 1963. In those days, Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Art History were granted by very few Canadian Institutions. The University of Toron- to’s Department of Art and Archaeology offered a program that began with a study of ancient Egypt and by the third year, 20th-century art movements had been barely touched upon. Nonetheless, the handful of graduates were guaranteed employment. Upon graduation, my first position was as a slide librarian with the University of British Columbia’s Fine Arts Department which was followed in 1965 by my second job as Assistant Curator at the Vancouver Art Gallery where mounting art exhibitions for children was part of the job description. By 1970 I was teaching a survey of art history at Capilano College and was passionately involved with the visual media aspect of The Capilano Review publication. This lat- ter avocation led to employment as curator at Surrey Art Gallery from where I removed myself in 1989 upon the realization that I lacked appropriate training for a position involving much more than the visual presentation of artwork.

In the same decade, such degrees were also granted on the West Coast at the California College of the Arts in San Francisco. It seems that Canada has been at the forefront of on-the-job and/or academic education for curators in the field of contemporary art. Non-profit, artist-run-centres (which originated in Que- bec) were first established in Vancouver in 1973 with the founding of the Western Front. These centres gave artists opportunities to gain real experience in every aspect of selecting and presenting curated, as opposed to juried, exhibitions. Today, most wanna-be curators still study art history in universities, art schools and even online, but courses in this field are no longer “traditional”. Instead, explorations of art context, art theory and art language dominate the smorgasbords of tasty liberal arts curricula as with the BA and MA programs at Seattle’s University of Washington. In combining academic and practical coursework, degrees are conferred by that university but teaching takes place at Seattle’s College of Art. Vancouver has an international reputation as being home to several highly-accomplished and visionary curators. I think back to the late Ted Lindberg, who established a short-lived curatorial program at Emily Carr College of Art and Design in 1986 after becoming director of the Charles H. Scott Gallery. Notable curators today, like Cate Rimmer (currently curator at the Charles H. Scott Gallery) and Daina Augaitis (who is Associate Director and Chief Curator of the Vancouver Art Gallery), are graduates of Lindberg’s program. Scott Watson, Curator/Director of UBC’s Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery, is a brilliant example of a contemporary curator who has mounted many ground-breaking exhibitions and who also helped shape UBC’s Critical Curatorial Studies Program. If only such challenging programs in contemporary curatorship had been available all those years ago!

# OPEN LATE ON FIRST THURSDAYS PREVIEW 29 www.galleryjones.com Peter Krausz: Landscapes GALLERY JONES, VANCOUVER BC – Jun 7-30, 2012 The work of Montreal artist Peter Krausz has included paintings, drawings, installations and photography. Like David Bierk, he has explored the use of painted frames, metal surfaces and lettered text. He is best known for epic landscapes of ter- raced fields and low rolling hills, punctuated and delineated by groves and orchards – gorgeous vistas that look far into the distance. With their saturated natural hues, Krausz’s fictional panoramas are reminiscent of southern Europe. The Mediterranean has been prominent in the artist’s work for more than twenty years. It acts as a geographic and political site for exploring the relationship of man to nature, to underscore the lack of political borders in nature, and to portray historically-charged loca- tions, often where mass violence has been perpetrated. Like David Bierk, Krausz uses “the riches of human memory” to deliver imaginary landscapes that appear myste- rious yet familiar. Peter Krausz was born in Romania in 1946 and studied mural painting between 1964- Peter Krausz, Querce di Cote No. 3 (2010), oil on canvas [Gallery Jones, Vancouver 1969 at the Fine Arts Institute in BC, Jun 7-30] Bucharest. He made Montreal his home in 1970. From 1980- 1991, Krausz was curator of the Saidye Bronfman Centre for the Arts in Montreal, and in 1991 began teaching Fine Arts at the Université de Montréal. He has exhibited extensively in Mon- treal, Toronto, New York, Los Angeles and Paris Mia Johnson

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 31 BY NADINE POWER Conservator’s Corner Fine Art Conservator, www.conservationoffineart.com Theatres of the World: the conservation of two murals in the Simon Fraser University Theatre – Part 2 The purpose of conservation work on the Buell Mullen murals in the SFU Theatre lobby was to remove dirt and corrosion products, repair loss and damage to paint layers, and to restore the collage elements to their original settings. The materials and techniques used by the artist as well as major condition issues were described in Part 1 in the previous issue of Preview. The two stainless steel murals were covered in a thick layer of dust and grime and an initial vacuum of the works with a soft brush removed only the surface dust. Aqueous cleaning was necessary to remove decades of food, drink, cigarette smoke and other accretions for which a three-part method of treatment was developed. During the first step of cleaning, conservators used a mild conservation-grade detergent to dissolve food particles and remove tobacco residue. Next, a 1% diammonium citrate solution was used where areas of red and orange corrosion, caused by water leaking from the ceiling, required a more Detail before and after cleaning: top shows clean powerful cleaning method. The two solutions were each section, below, dirt and fingerprints remain applied with a soft cloth in a circular motion and were then rinsed with water. The final step was to use a gel to remove stubborn areas of corrosion and uneven patina. The gel, a low pH solution of hydro-oxycarboxilic acid, was applied with a soft brush and allowed to work overnight under a plastic wrap. A final rinse with warm water and a squeegee left the stainless steel surface sparkling and streak free. Next, damaged paint was repaired using several layers of a conservation-grade resin called B-72. Several thick layers were applied without pigment to mimic the thick texture of the epoxy resin used by the artist. A final layer of B-72 mixed with Gamblin Conservation Colours was used to match the in-painted areas with the original paint colour. Finally, the missing collage elements were replaced with new materials sourced at local gem and lapidary suppliers. Before they Section of east mural after conservation cleaning were applied, areas of old epoxy that had yel- lowed and become unsightly were removed using a scalpel blade and a solution of ethanol. The new collage elements were then applied using a grade of epoxy resin less likely to become discoloured and to lose adhesiveness. The results of the conservation work were quite remarkable; both murals looked clean, intact and considering their age, as close as possible to their original condition. Some areas with mild scratching and abra- sion marks, where chairs had been placed against the murals, were, unfortunately, the only type of damage for which there was no easy treatment. Once the theatre renovations have been completed, physical barri- ers will help prevent further damage and keep the newly-restored murals clean for many years to come.

Using drywall, large pieces of glass, bricks, sheets of metal, industrial ratchet straps, riveted bolts, andst bronze, ca the Los Angeles-based artist produces massive, hulking figurative sculptures that defy most descriptions. “Infused” with his personal mythology and “emerging from the rubble of his own creation”, they are intended to evoke artifacts from another century, or perhaps a post- apocalyptic vision of art assembled from a nuclear disaster zone. Many of the figures have a Biblical or medieval look. Monahan frequently integrates his forms with museum-style presentations that he fashions from building materials like plasterboard and glass. The current exhibit presents a selection of work from the past eight years, including a number of large sculptures made from folded paper. Described as “resolutely contemporary

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 39 www.portlandartmuseum.org www.elizabethleach.org Ellsworth Kelly: Selected Prints PORTLAND ART MUSEUM, PORTLAND OR –Jun 16-Sep 16 ELIZABETH LEACH GALLERY, PORTLAND OR – Jun 7-Jul 28 Ellsworth Kelly is known for his minimalist abstractions and shaped canvases that stress the subtle relationship between colour and form. These two exhibitions focus on Kelly’s print work, which shares the same aesthetic principles. Kelly’s lasting dedication to a singular vision has endured the many waves of modern and contemporary art movements. The celebrated American artist was born in upstate New York in 1923, and spent his formative years in Paris during the late 1940s and early 1950s absorbing French abstraction in works by such artists as Jean Arp, Joan Miró and Alberto Giacometti, an experience which proved to be seminal to the development of his mature style. His fascination for pure bold chromatic choices alludes to a sense of space as colours appear to recede into the background.

While seemingly stark at first, Kelly’s reductive approach proves PARIS EDITEUR, AND MAEGHT KELLY © ELLSWORTH to be warm and friendly – he often uses soft curvilinear edges Ellsworth Kelly, Green with Red (Vert avec within a geometric framework, where the interplay of forms on a Rouge) (1964-65), lithograph on Rives BFK plane are like silhouettes that reference familiar elements of paper [Portland Art Museum, Portland OR, architecture, nature and culture. Jun 16-Sep 16/Elizabeth Leach Gallery, Portland OR, Jun 7-Jul 28] It is impressive that this important 20th-century artist has maintained a clear vision in his approach to abstraction. Kelly’s tightly balanced works remind one of nostalgic pop-culture on the surface, yet the longevity of Kelly’s practice leads to the realization that these pieces weigh heavily on formal considerations and are more concerned with quiet and subtle perceptions.

As a founding member of legendary British punk rock band the Mekons, he continues to play and record with his original band as well as The Pine Valley Cosmonauts and the Waco Brothers, among others. The Mekons are often credited with single-handedly creating post- modern country and western music, which has been described as a blend of Gram Parsons’s innova- tion, leftist punk political ideals, and minimalist musical arrangements. A prolific and respected visual artist, Lang- ford creates striking decorative portraits of country musicians and cowboys, “multi-layered paintings of famous and forgotten figures from the dawn of country music”. His illustrations of Johnny Cash, Gram Parsons, Elvis Presley, Hank Williams and other music leg- ends, as well as scratched up portraits of cowhands and other western heroes, can be seen in the legendary Yard Dog Gallery in Austin, Texas, home to Texas folk art, outsider art and funky pop art. Langford’s artwork is easily recognizable on album covers he has done for supplemen- Jon Langford, Tonight The West is Sleeping (2009), acrylic paint/mixed tary musical projects. The imagery, much of media on plywood [The New Gallery, Calgary AB, Jun 15-Jul 28] it taken from old country music publicity photos and sheet music, is enveloped in “a haze of ironic nostalgia”, with plenty of scratches, faded edges and scraped surfaces. He writes, “Basically, I create a very unstable surface with acrylics and pastel on top of each other and work on top of that with Sharpies, felt pens, white out, gunk, snot and whatever comes to hand”. His paintings are further characterized by the addition of folksy words and sayings. Mia Johnson

In the current series, he explores the use of grounding to give his compositions weight and to provide an increased sense of three-dimensionality. The paintings and sculptures in this exhibit evoke what appears to be an “environment of sepa- rate objects”. They are intended to set up a dialogue that questions notions of originality, and to look at the place and process of studio production. Both the painted objects and the sculptures play with negative and positive space in the forms them- selves, and address the relationship between the work and the outside world. In an added layer of conceptual complexity, the current series combines new and transformed versions of earlier work by the artist. Holger Kalberg won a BC Arts Council Pro- COURTESY OF HOLGER KALBERG AND MONTE CLARK GALLERY VANCOUVER / TORONTO / VANCOUVER GALLERY CLARK AND MONTE KALBERG HOLGER OF COURTESY Holger Kalberg, Untitled (2012), oil on canvas [Monte Clark duction Grant in 2004 and has three times been Gallery, Vancouver BC, Jun 14-Jul 14] short-listed for a Royal Bank Canadian Painting Award. In 2007, he earned a Master’s degree in Fine Arts from Chelsea School of Art. He is represented by Monte Clark Gallery in Vancouver and Toronto, and has had solo exhibitions at the Agnes Etherington Art Centre and Galerie Hellebrand in Duisburg, Germany. Mia Johnson

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 53 BY JIM FINLAY Practical Art History or FINLAY FINE ART Confessions of a Fine Art Appraiser www.FinlayFineArt.com Chapter 32. The Case of the Wisham Fisherman My client had told me that one evening while watching the Antiques Roadshow on television, he and his wife were surprised and excited to see a framed photograph which looked almost identi- cal to the one they had inherited and which they were about to donate to the local thrift store. On hearing the estimated value, my client decided not to donate but to engage the services of a professional art appraiser. Edward Sheriff Curtis (1868-1952) photographed and documented the traditional way of life of the North American Indian and took some 40,000 photographs of over 80 tribes; images which he later published in a limited edition 20-volume set from 1917 to 1930. Curtis visited the Northwest Coast of BC where he developed a somewhat dubious reputation of embellishing the truth by artificially staging some of his photographs of native subjects to make them appear more “real”. According to text by Gloria Jean Frank, he reportedly is said to have had all of the male (native) actors in his 1914 film, In the Land of the Headhunters, shave off their moustaches for fear that audi- ences would not see them as authentic “Indians”. Word has it Edward S. Curtis, The Fisherman, Wisham that he became so frustrated with his Kwakwaka’wakw actors (c. 1904-1909), goldtone on glass for not performing one scene properly that he actually dressed up in costume and performed the scene himself. This photograph, entitled The Fisherman, Wisham, dates from about 1904-1909 and depicts a salmon fisherman who most probably lived along the banks of the Columbia River near The Dalles, Oregon. The image is a goldtone or orotone (also named by Curtis as a Curt-tone) photograph and is signed “E. Curtis” in the lower right of the image with a copyright symbol in the image at the lower left. The image measures approximately 8 ¥ 10 inches and was in the original batwing-cor- nered frame with the overall size including frame of 13.5 ¥ 11.5 inches. The image was reproduced in Volume VII of The North American Indian by Edward Curtis, and in Visions of a Vanishing Race by Curtis’s daughter, Florence Curtis Graybill, and Victor Boesen. Curtis is known to have produced this image in several sizes; the most popular being 11 ¥ 14. The printing process involved coating the back of a glass plate with a light-sensitive silver gelatin emulsion which then was exposed to a glass plate negative of the same image. The resultant positive image was fixed on the rear of the glass plate with a coating of banana oil impregnated with bronzing powder, thus giving it its gold colour. Other types of prints were made from the same negative such as gelatin silver prints on paper, however the most rare, due in part to their fragility, were the photographic prints on glass, of which this is a very good example. This photograph is, therefore, one of many prints of the same image, printed in different sizes and on different materials. The frame would have been sold with the print directly from the fac- tory. It is the smallest goldtone print of this series; others were sized 11 ¥ 14, 11 ¥ 17, and 18 ¥ 22. Needless to say my client was surprised to learn of the photograph’s significant appraised value and does not plan to donate it to a thrift store. Next Issue. Who’s Afraid of Historic Canadian Art?

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 57 www.henryart.org Gary Hill: glossodelic attractors HENRY ART GALLERY, SEATTLE WA – Mar 31-Sep 16, 2012 The glossodelic attractors exhibition is a broad survey of Gary Hill’s artwork from the last three decades. The internationally recognized Seattle sound and video artist creates immersive installations that skew perception through multi-sensory experiences. Hill, a pioneer of video art since 1973, is influenced by conceptual art of the era. His themes make connections between language and the body, image and identity. The pieces are experiential and engaging, offering simultaneous visual and auditory elements that work to re-orientate the mind in a sometimes-psychedelic manner. The show is grounded by two major installations, Withershins from 1995 and the 2011 The Psychedelic Gedankenexperiment. Many other pieces will be shown on a rotating basis. Withershins is a floor maze that invites visitors to walk inside and trig- ger voices that speak small phrases like fragments of consciousness. The male and COURTESY THE ARTIST AND DONALD YOUNG GALLERY, CHICAGO / PHOTO: GARY MCKINNIS GARY PHOTO: / CHICAGO GALLERY, YOUNG AND DONALD ARTIST THE COURTESY female voices have video counterparts on Gary Hill, Withershins (1995), mixed media, 1996 installation view at Institute of the walls that are obscure and without Contemporary Art, Philadelphia [Henry Art Gallery, Seattle WA, Mar 31-Sep 16] strong identities. The Psychedelic Gedanken- experiment is like a performance piece with Hill presenting a quasi-intellectual lecture on two huge monitors, and where one screen plays forward and the other backwards.

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 59 www.willamette.edu/museum_of_art/ Randy Hayes: Unfamiliar Territory HALLIE FORD MUSEUM OF ART, SALEM OR – Jun 2-Aug 26, 2012 Unfamiliar Territory, a major exhibit by Seattle artist Randy Hayes, includes pieces from the last fifteen years of his career. Hayes is known for hybrid combinations of painting and photography. His subjects are derived mostly from his travels to China, India, Italy, Mexico, and more recently, Japan. From a myriad of images, Hayes con- structs unique photographic assemblages that serve as grounds for over-painting. The grid- like arrangements of snapshots are reminiscent of frames from a film and provide a narrative backdrop for the main painted subject. The effect of oil painting with translucent glazes and washes on top of the detail-filled backgrounds keeps the eye moving throughout the composition, absorbing the intricate COURTESY OF THE ARTIST THE OF COURTESY milieu of Hayes’s world. Randy Hayes, Kyoto Tourists(2009), oil on photographs mounted to canvas [Hallie Ford Museum of Art, Salem OR, Jun 2-Aug 26] The Mississippi native is particularly interested in the changing face of his home state and of the rural American South. Ethereal images of this area, on the cusp of documentary and poetry, are some of the most provocative of Hayes’s artworks. The mix of micro- and macro-perspectives presents a feeling of direct experience with strong impressions of real time, memory and place. The artist’s southern upbringing undoubtedly lends to the deeper sensitivity in these particular pieces. Allyn Cantor

Co-curated by Mary Jo Hughes, Tobi Bruce and Andrew Kear, The Messenger brings together over 80 key paintings and drawings from major collections in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom. William Kurelek (1927-1977) produced more than 2,000 paintings in a prolific outpouring that documented bucolic scenes of immigrants working the land, children playing, and community country events. He has been called Canada’s Norman Rockwell, Canada’s Cornelius Krieghoff, a Prairie Hieronymus Bosch and a naive, flatland Bruegel. Kurelek devoted entire series of paintings to Ukrainian, Jewish, Pol- ish, Irish, French Canadian and Inuit peoples. Much of his work depicts nostalgic scenes of a simpler past. COLLECTION: ART GALLERY OF GREATER VICTORIA GREATER OF GALLERY ART COLLECTION: Kurelek also had a dark side.

During the last 20 years of his life, his mission became the communication of the Christian religion through illustrative and narrative works. The exhibition catalogue, a glossy hardcover book, describes Kurelek as one of Canada’s most popular yet most enigmatic 20th-century artists. In conjunction with the touring exhibit, a comprehensive website at www.kurelek.ca was developed and will be available for five years. This major undertaking provides a wealth of information on Kurelek’s life and work. Mia Johnson

Bellingham is the fourth stop on portrait painter Ray Turner’s multi-city travelling exhibition which was most recently shown in Akron, Ohio. As part of his interest in creating an ongoing series of “community” portraits, Turner visited Bellingham last year to document the towns- people who would manifest into works of art for this venture. Transforming his digital shots into paintings on glass that are 12-inches square, Turner’s 50 new portraits will be exhibited with pieces referencing other cities. This ambitious undertaking reflects a sense of commonality among people while shedding light on the unique diversity present within each individual. As an evolving whole, the collection captures a cross-section of different locales as seen through the painted images of their residents. For Population, Turner is not rendering superficial beauty; he depicts the essence of Ray Turner, Population portrait (2011-12), oil on glass [Whatcom each person, rather than their exact likeness. Museum, Bellingham WA, Jun 16-Sep 9] His generously-painted surfaces block soft hues into light and shadows with each subject set against a solid ground. Turner’s infused emotion is mostly found in the thick expressive handling of oil paint as well as in his colour choices in the light and dark areas of skin and hair. The uniform approach to each piece allows for more formal considerations in the painting process while paying quiet homage to the collective versus individual identity.

70 PREVIEW I JUNE/JULY/AUGUST 2012 # OPEN LATE ON FIRST THURSDAYS VIGNETTES • June/July/August 2012 Oregon ALLYN CANTOR DOROTHEE DEISS: AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED Blue Sky Gallery, Port- land, Jun 7-Jul 1 German photographer Dorothee Deiss documents the site where the Berlin wall once stood in her series As If Nothing Happened. The 160-km strip of land is now mainly a bike path, but the clusters of residences and communities alongside have long existed. With little trace of where the wall once was, Deiss captures the Dorothee Deiss people and environment in the immediate vicinity of the former border zone where common cultures were divided and separated into socialist and capitalist worlds. STEPHAN SOIHL: KINETIC EXPLORATIONS Blackfish Gallery, Portland, Jun 5-30 Stephan Soihl’s elegant mechanical sculptures are made primarily of translucent plexiglass forms filled with coloured oils and complementary brass hardware; small motors and timers enable these kinetic pieces to rotate thereby gently moving the contained liquid. As a sculptor, Soihl leans towards refined formal considera- Stephan Soihl tions of balance between form, colour and material, yet the dimen- sion of time gives distinction to these unusual pieces. For this exhibit Soihl invited guest artists Kaite Chase and Howard Neufeld to each exhibit one sculpture. JUDITH POXSON FAWKES: NEW TAPESTRIES Laura Russo Gallery, Port- land, Jun 7-30 The intricately designed tapestries of Judith Poxson Fawkes are dynamic in their sense of movement and rhythmic colour. Poxson Fawkes creates her pieces in linen using inlay and double-weave techniques. The elegantly crafted artworks are beautifully meditative in their structure with surfaces that exude a warm textured depth resulting directly from vibrant interactions of weft and warp threads. The accom- Judith Poxson Fawkes plished artist has been exhibiting her tapestries since the 1960s and is represented nationally in many prominent collections. HEIDI SCHWEGLER: THE KNOWN WORLD Chambers@916, Portland, May 3-Jun 22 Portland artist Heidi Schwegler creates complex personal narratives within multidisciplinary artworks. Over the past two years she has been a tourist in places like China, Iceland, Argentina and Southern California where a disconnect from the familiar presented the notion of perceptual blindness. The Known World is a suite of objects, images and video conceptualizing this theme and Schwe- gler’s subsequent method of identifying with objects or situations in an unfamiliar environment. The body of work alludes to that which Heidi Schwegler is known but not seen. REX AMOS: SCISSOR CUTS Hallie Ford Museum of Art, Salem, Jun 16- Aug 12 A skilled cutter, Rex Amos uses precision scissors to meticu- lously cut materials for his tightly-contrived collages. Combinations of clippings from vintage magazines, old posters and random ephemera become quirky satires and exotic images with a bold spirit. This exhibit includes pieces from the last 30 years by this Oregon artist who has been exhibiting regionally since the 1960s. Amos also uses chine-collé techniques; the distinctive pieces are run through a Rex Amos press to unify the disparate collage elements. www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 71 Modica, Heidi Kirkpatrick, Linda porary art and music by looking at Connor and Laura McPhee; Jul 12- economies of production and distribu- Aug 17 “Pull”, new works by Cris tion; Thru Jul 22 The Brink: Andrew Crites, Laurie Danial, Harold Dadson; Thru Sep 16 Gary Hill: glos- Hollingsworth, Zack Bent and others; sodelic attractors, works presented in Aug 18-27 Gallery closed; Aug 28-29 rotation, spanning the years 1978- Open by appt. 2011; Permanent Installation Richard C.

PREVIEW 73 www.nanaimoartgallery.com Sonny Assu + Rande Cook: Ebb and Flow NANAIMO ART GALLERY, NANAIMO BC – May 18-Sep 1, 2012 Sonny Assu is an interdisciplinary Montreal artist who challenges public perceptions of aboriginal art. Since graduating from Emily Carr Institute of Art+Design in 2002, his work frequently combines First Nations iconography with popular culture in a commen- tary on social and historical value. Assu’s work has been collected by the National Gallery of Canada, the Seattle Art Museum and the Museum of Anthropology among other public and private collections in Canada and the US. In Ebb and Flow, Assu presents images of cedar wood remnants discarded by a log-home development company, mounted on stands to resemble museum objects. In a series of paintings titled Chilkat, he mixes references to social media and the traditional Chilkat blanket. Contemporary Canadian native artist Rande Cook was born in Alert Bay, Vancouver Island and currently lives in Victoria, BC. His work addresses the importance of sacred traditions, rituals, language and stories. In 2008 he inherited his grandfather’s chieftainship and now car- ries the name Makwala, or moon. Strongly influenced as a Rande Cook, Beethoven (2011), yellow cedar and child by his grandfather, Gus Matilpi, Cook has since acrylic paint [Nanaimo Art Gallery, Nanaimo BC, worked with mentors such as John Livingston for his mas- May 18-Sep 1] tery in wood sculpting, Robert Davidson in metal work, Calvin Hunt for his craftsmanship in wood, and most recently with Valentin Yotkov for his expertise in repoussé and chasing.

The unique region of Gee’s Bend has produced exceptional innovative quilts made from everyday materials like jeans and flour bags that have been re- purposed into patchwork designs that evade the grid in their expressive Loretta Bennett geometry. Bennett has travelled widely overseas and nationally with her husband who was in the Army. Her individual quilts fuse personal travel experiences with tradition and family history. ROY MCMAKIN: I CONTINUE TO BELIEVE IN THE POTENTIAL TO EXPRESS HOPE AND SORROW THROUGH FURNITURE Western Bridge, Seattle, Apr 27-Jul 28 Known for innovative furniture and design concepts that blur boundaries between function, art and life, Roy McMakin’s new Roy McMakin show has a more autobiographical viewpoint. His signature play on formal aspects of furniture into realms of the emotional, humorous or irrational is conveyed in new sculpture, furniture, photographs, video and drawings, as well as a selection of pieces that span his career. West- ern Bridge, which was designed by McMakin, is a wholly suitable venue for pushing the personal potential of his witty artworks.

MAR GOMAN Francine Seders Gallery, Seattle, Jun 8-Jul 8 Mar Goman’s mixed-media artworks run the gamut from collage, sculpture, books and assemblages to installations that contain highly personal and, at times, deeply emotional narratives. The Portland artist uses familiar, mundane, and often found materials and ephemera to Mar Goman create a spiritual weight that reflects the darker side of the soul, invisible wounds and a process of self-discovery. Her tactile pieces, grounded by the warmth of a distinct hand-made aesthetic, incorpo- rate elements of painting and embroidery with images and text. GATHER UP THE FRAGMENTS: THE ANDREWS SHAKER COLLECTION Bellevue Arts Museum, Bellevue, Jul 11-Oct 28 Organized by, and first exhibited at the Hancock Shaker village in Massachusetts, this broad collection of over 200 objects includes iconic examples of furniture, traditional textiles and baskets, kitchen implements and other humble household objects used by the Shaker religious community. Originally collected from the 1920s to the 1960s by Faith and Edward Deming Andrews, objects from this communal Christian sect were made for Shaker furniture their own use, and many of the clean, simple designs, innovative join- ery and unique construction methods have inspired modern designers. PHOTOGRAPHIC WANDERINGS Lisa Harris Gallery, Seattle, Aug 2-Sep 2 Sherry Karver, David W. Simpson, Christopher Harris and Peter de Lory go beyond their usual artistic framework in pieces that convey a general notion of “wandering”. Karver’s Surveillance Series alludes to the disintegration between private and public in images taken from Internet webcams. Simpson’s skeletal billboard imagery was shot in Mexico, Harris photographed street discards in Idaho, and de Lory’s roadside images of the stark Nevada desert all evoke an acute awareness of unusual surroundings.

The current exhibition, Audio Migration, is part of a year- long exhibition guest-curated by Ross Birdwise and presents the work of three artists: Kristen Roos, Alex Grunenfelder and Christina Kubisch. With the theme On Air, Underground: Making the Inaudible Audible, each artwork gives expression to voiceless and sometimes intangible things. Using the enclosed but open-air courtyard at the gallery, Vancouver artist Alex Grunenfelder’s site-specific outdoor sound installation Audio Migration weaves together field recordings of local birds and people talking in a slowly changing soundscape. Organized in three movements, the piece is a four-channel audio installation approximately 10 minutes long. The first part focuses on local bird sounds while the second part introduces human voices imitating birdsongs and whistles. In the third section, frag- mented bits of foreign language, birdcalls, human gibberish, coughs and grunts, electronic alarm noises and other sounds are combined in ways that destabilize and surprise the listener. Alex Grunenfelder studied philosophy at McGill University and fine art at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. He is Alex Grunenfelder, logo for Audio Migration a graphic designer with a keen interest in science and technology. [Surrey Art Gallery, Surrey BC, Apr 14-Aug 19] Grunenfelder is currently a director of Open Green Building Society, owner of Alex Grunenfelder Graphic Design, and co-founder and director of Vancouver Design Nerds Society.

Since much of the visual practice of the Aboriginal tribes was for sacred purposes, it was not until the 1970s that this sector of art was introduced to outsiders when a mural honouring the Tjala, or Honey Ant Ancestors, was painted on a government school building by men from the Papunya settlement in central Australia. Included are examples of paintings on canvas, pieces created with bark and natural pigments, and sculptures carved of wood, woven of fibre and cast in bronze. Many of the artworks presented communicate indigenous concepts through symbolic narratives that relate to their story of creation PHOTO: IOCOLOR, SEATTLE IOCOLOR, PHOTO: and to ancestral spirits. A common aesthetic Regina Pilawuk Wilson (Australian Aboriginal, Marathiel people, Peppimenarti, thread of simplified forms and patterning Daly River region, Northern Territory), Sun Mat (2002), synthetic polymer paint on canvas [Seattle Art Museum, Seattle WA – May 31-Sep 2] often reflects aerial perspectives of land, storytelling, journeys and totemic representations. This important collection was assembled over the last 20 years by Seattle couple Robert Kaplan and Margaret Levi who have promised to gift their entire collection to the Seattle Art Museum.
