www.fryemuseum.org Gabriel von Max: Be-tailed Cousins and Phantasms of the Soul FRYE ART MUSEUM, SEATTLE WA – Jul 9-Oct 30, 2011 Although Gabriel von Max (1840-1915) was an esteemed painter in his day, this is the first solo muse - um exhibit of his work in the United States. Consid - ered a Munich Secessionist, the controversial late- 19th-century artist explored narratives on life, death and temptation, often with biblical and literary references, in moody pieces with allegorical under - tones. While he is known for his paintings of beauti - ful dead women, Max also had a strong interest in nat - ural sciences, the occult and the origins of mankind. With such subjects, his paintings were often deemed morbid, although his technical skills and imaginative E

intelligence are self-evident. L T T U T

This comprehensive exhibit includes some of N O D

A series of India ink drawings and woodcuts on the subject of Faust, as well as paintings depicting Max’s own monkeys engaged in human activities, will also be part of this survey. Allyn Cantor

12 PREVIEW I JUNE/JULY/AUGUST 2011 # OPEN LATE ON FIRST THURSDAY VIGNETTES • June/July/August 2011 Alberta ROBIN LAURENCE SHAYNE DARK: FULL TILT Newzones Gallery, Calgary, through June 25 This solo exhibition of sculpture by Shayne Dark demon - strates his belief that abstract forms can embody a range of “thoughts, feelings and attitudes”. Based in Ontario and exhibit - ed internationally, Dark revels in his materials, which include brilliantly coloured tubes and rods of powder-coated steel. The artist invests their intersecting forms with a physical presence and a myriad of meanings. Shayne Dark IN THE RED: CREATION FROM DEFICIT Alberta Craft Council Gallery, Edmonton, through July 5 Artists from across Alberta are using this exhibition to express their reactions to recent drastic funding cuts to the arts. Employing a range of media, including clay, tex - tiles, deconstructed books and political cartoons, they express an equally wide range of emotions, from indignation to deep sad - ness. Implicit in this work and the accompanying statements is an enduring belief in the importance of the arts. DAVID BURDENY: ANCORA Herringer Kiss Gallery, Calgary, June Paul Boultbee 18-July16 Ancora, the Italian word for “still”, is the title of David Burdeny’s new series of colour photographs, shot mostly on the coasts and lagoons of Europe, Asia, and the United States. This Vancouver-based architect-turned-artist uses a large-for - mat camera and muted natural lighting (near dawn or dusk, often in rainy or misty conditions) to create sweeping sea- and land - scape images of dreamy beauty. MIKE MCLEAN: RANGE Southern Alberta Art Gallery, Lethbridge, June 24-September 11 The charged interface between nature and culture finds expression in the dramatic and highly detailed pho - David Burdeny tographs of Vancouver Island artist Mike McLean. Shooting with a large-format camera, McLean documents evidence of human activity within the spectacular landscape of the Rocky Mountains. His images include hikers and hiking trails, sign posts, weather stations and railway lines, set within grand vistas that call up ideas of wilderness and the Romantic sublime. SUSAN RANKIN: A VALID BEAUTY Esplanade Gallery, Medicine Hat, July 1-August 21 The garden has been a constant theme in the work of Ontario-based glass artist Susan Rankin. She wraps her vessels in sinuous depictions of vines and leaves or adorns them Mike McLean with exuberant flowers; her recent series of blown-glass forms sees her working in a larger scale and with increasing “volup - tuousness”. Rankin has also expanded her practice to include a series of columnar sculptures that combine solid worked glass with tall metal rods. Like highly abstracted plant forms, they seek to redefine the space in which they’re installed.

Aptly described in Canadian Art, the exhibit “schools attendees in our nation’s diverse approaches to this per- vasive international art movement”. This major undertaking presents artwork in a range of media by over 70 artists. Many of D N U

British Columbia ROBIN LAURENCE ATTILA RICHARD LUKACS: NEW WORK Winsor Gallery, Vancouver, through June 11 Lukacs gained international attention in the 1980s and 90s with his colourful, large-scale “history paintings”, often featuring figures drawn from European skinhead culture. Attila Richard Lukacs His new body of mostly monochromatic grey abstractions, therefore, may surprise many viewers. Based on the grisaille tra - dition, these works make ghostly reference to a number of disci - plines and practices, and address “the tradition of painting after the end of painting”. SHARY BOYLE Contemporary Art Gallery, Vancouver, June 17- August 21 artist Shary Boyle takes on the human figure in every scale and medium, from audio-visual performance to porcelain miniatures, and from oil paintings to mixed-media installation. In this touring exhibition, she combines vulnerabili - Shary Boyle ty, pathos, humour, fantasy, and raunchy sexuality in an utterly individual way. At the same time, she challenges our ideas of truth and beauty. BRENDA JOY LEM: HOMAGE TO THE HEART Richmond Art Gallery, Richmond, through June 12 This installation of richly layered images and text muses on themes of “memory, spirituality, and the enduring heart”. Employing archival photos, family snap - shots, and transcribed oral histories, Brenda Joy Lem chronicles her grandparents’ arrival in Canada over 100 years ago. She fol - lows the family through years of grinding work, but also reveals happier aspects of social and recreational life to create a complex tapestry of time, change and belonging.

MARTIN CREED: COLLECTED WORKS The Rennie Collection, Brenda Joy Lem Vancouver, through October 22 From galleries filled with party balloons to prints made from pieces of broccoli, no medium or material is too unexpected for Turner Prize-winning British artist and musician Martin Creed. The show features art drawn exclusively from the Rennie Collection, and programming includes individual and collective performance pieces, such as Work No 850 in which physically fit volunteers sprint through the gallery at fixed intervals. THE OTHER EMILY: REDEFINING EMILY CARR Royal BC Museum, Victoria, through October 10 Through new research and the Martin Creed uncovering of seldom-seen images and objects, this exhibition focuses on the early life of the iconic Emily Carr. It also counters our preconceptions about one of Canada’s most famous artists. Curated from the RBCM collection, the show presents us with an array of art, artifacts and archival material, including Carr’s early paintings, drawings and sketches; diaries, manuscripts and letters; period clothing; and First Nations art. Especially fasci - nating are historic photographs of Carr as a young woman, well before her 1927 breakthrough onto the national stage – and into our mythic imagination. Emily C arr, at left, second row from back, c. 1895

22 PREVIEW I JUNE/JULY/AUGUST 2011 British Columbia ROBIN LAURENCE GLOBAL NATURE Kamloops Art Gallery, Kamloops, June 11- September 3 Through their individual photographic projects and installations, Lorraine Gilbert and Sarah Anne Johnson press us to examine “the relationship between photography and issues related to the environment, eco-tourism, and the ecology move - ment”. Both artists have chronicled tree planting in areas devas - Sarah Anne Johnson tated by human enterprise, and both have documented excur - sions into northerly realms. In all of their work, human beings come to fraught terms with their increasingly vulnerable planet. MARIANNE LOVINK: UNNATURAL ORDER Jennifer Kostuik Gallery, Vancouver, June 16-July 10 Toronto sculptor Marianne Lovink has stated that she aims to create “evocative, enigmatic work that challenges perceptions”. Her new cut steel forms play with scale, dimension, and the relationship between scientific observation and unfettered imagination. The shapes Lovink creates could be tiny sea creatures or bursting seed pods – or some alien life form from a yet-to-be discovered realm of existence. Marianne Lovink INUIT PRINTS: JAPANESE INSPIRATION Museum of Anthropology, Vancouver, June 19-September 25 Subtitled “James Houston, Un’ichi Hiratsuka and the Inuit Print Tradition”, this fascinating exhibition uses rare prints produced in both Japan and Cape Dorset during the late 1950s and early 1960s to examine the direct influence of one culture’s print tradition upon the origins of another. Houston, widely known as the person who stimulated the creation of modern Inuit art and introduced it to southern Canada and the wider world, travelled to Japan to study direct transfer Kenojuak Ashevak print techniques with Hiratsuka, then took this knowledge to the Canadian Arctic – where a new art form was born. 15TH ANNUAL CANADIAN GLASS SHOW West End Gallery, Victoria, July 1-September 30 The works of more than 40 distin - guished glass artists from across the country are spotlighted in this exhibition, which will change displays throughout its run. The work that launches the show includes Paull Rodrigue’s sensuous, multi-coloured vessels, Catherine Hibbits’s organic sculptures of reflective, globular forms, and Andrea Ripley’s whimsical and luscious glass “cupcakes” on a blue stand.

EWAN MCNEIL Pendulum Gallery, Vancouver, July 4-July 23 Two Paull Rodrigue disparate bodies of work come together in this solo show by Van - couver artist Ewan McNeil. The first consists of realist paint - ings, based on photographs of contemporary cityscapes and con - struction sites. They are executed in spooky black and white and conjure up sci-fi scenarios in which human beings have disap - peared from the urban scene. The second group of works com - prises humourously raw, architectonic sculptures, created out of wood, cardboard, old maps and scraps of metal. Ewan McNeil www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 23 www.kelownaartgallery.com Gabor Szilasi: The Eloquence of the Everyday KELOWNA ART GALLERY, KELOWNA BC – May 14-Aug 1 4, 2011 Montréal photographer Gabor Szi - lasi has created a significant body of photographic work since the 1950s. In celebration of his 81st birthday, the Musée d’art de Joliette in collaboration with the Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography selected 124 photos from private and public collections for this exhibition. Currently in Kelowna as part of the National Gallery’s On Tour program, The Eloquence of the Everyday focuses on images from the past five decades taken in Hungary, rural Quebéc and Montréal. The exhibit highlights Szilasi’s sympathetic, ethnocultural portraits of once-urban landscapes, a van - ished way of life in Budapest, rural regions of Québec during the 1970s, period street scenes of Mon - tréal, and other memorable character studies. Printed relatively small and hung in long rows, his images of impermanence and transience act as a warm and intimate journey through recent decades that seem all but van - ished – an impression underscored by 9 0 0 2

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 25 GALLERY VIEWS BY ANN ROSENBERG [email protected] The Hotel Waldorf Reimagined “Reimagined as a creative compound” is the only way to describe the Waldorf Hotel’s current transformation. This phrase from the first line of the Waldorf’s internet promo for all parts of the endeavour does grab attention. Perhaps if readers are first learning about this “reimagined” East Vancouver landmark, they’ll begin to attend the events attractively advertised in the monthly online calendar or go for the exotic cuisine and drinks. In October 2010, shortly before the Waldorf’s official opening on Hallowe’en, the Granville online’s Secret City blog featured some facts sub - mitted by the Hotel's “brand manager” Daniel Fazio who stated that the establishment, built in 1947, became well-known after it launched “a pre - mier North American tiki bar” in 1955. Marco and Vesna Puharich, who bought the Waldorf in 1971, Michael Turner’s Rolling Stones video is screened at the are still in the picture and if the venture makes mon - Waldorf Hotel ey, they will benefit. Fazio stated that those involved in the enterprise are “too interested in contemporary culture and art to create a kitschy hotel. We're taking the spirit of the original hotel, updating it and making it resonate with people today”. A follow-up blog piece by Monica Miller was published in April and contains a wealth of informa - tion with images including Chris Stenberg’s great shot of the Waldorf façade with a first go at properly-sweet 1940 colours, the museum-worthy original sign, and the fortuitous touch of a rain - bow arching towards this East Van cultural pot of gold. Prior to my May visit, I discovered that the venue was hosting a film series organized by Elvy Del Bianco called Vancouver Sometimes Plays Itself . Other recent offerings included an exhibition of work and Grad Party for Emily Carr photography students; Libby Davies’s election night gathering in the downstairs Cabaret and Andrea Pinheiro’s Loud Cloud exhibit (curated by Jessica Delorme) that was on view in the new Black and Yellow Gallery in Room 106. Some things that happen here are akin to those in the best non-profit galleries and cultur - al centres. For example, a remount of Stephen Belber’s play Tape was accommodated in one of the hotel rooms and a month-long installation called Karen’s Room took place in another. In it, hundreds of white sheets donated by the Waldorf (that were given away to the needy here and abroad after the event was over) were piled, draped, stacked and written upon by the artist /activist Karen, who is the only human being visually present in this intallation that was executed and videotaped in collaboration with mutimedia artist Paul Wong. Wong and Chris Stenberg, creative content producer, catches many other major arts community figures like Stan Douglas, the Waldorf in a rainbow moment Michael Morris, Rodney Graham, Michael Turner, Douglas Coupland and Attila Richard Lukacs contribute to the Waldor f’s busy program and so do the Goethe-Institut and Presentation House. Many activities can occur in this complex space because 20 of the 30 original hotel rooms are already being used for purposes other than sleeping. From June 2-5, the second-storey rooms will be become galleries to house the Waldorf’s first-ever show of inter - national contemporary art in Vancouver. I’m certainly looking forward to seeing what’s in The Fair . Will the Waldorf perpetuate and flourish? Unless a natural disaster or deep economic troubles strike, I believe it will. As Michael Turner told me in a phone interview, “the individuals who man - age various concerns at the Waldorf bring relevant experience to their tasks”. http://www.waldorfhotel.com/

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 27 www.richmondartgallery.org Fibred Optics RICHMOND ART GALLERY, RICHMOND BC – Jun 24-Aug 28, 2011 Previously shown at the Ottawa Art Gallery last winter, Fibred Optics presents the unique work of four Eastern Canada-based artists: Frances Dorsey (Halifax), Jérôme Havre (Montréal), Ed Pien (Toronto) and Michèle Provost (Gatineau). Using both natural and synthetic materials, each artist variously combines traditional and contemporary techniques with their own inventive use of materials and themes. The fascinating pieces in this exhibition share a passion for narrative. Frances Dorsey prints sec - tions of linen, cotton and rayon fabrics with dyes and silver leaf, then stitches and assem - bles them in layers to form gorgeous wall pieces. The colours and motifs reflect mem - ories from childhood days in pre-American- war Vietnam. Ed Pien’s installation – a dra - matic, spidery network of knotted rope combined with a large projection – invites visitors to walk inside the floor-to-ceiling labyrinth. Born in Taiwan and educated in Canada, Pien has exhibited his eerie work at numerous prestigious venues in North America and Europe. Jérôme Havre’s figures explore France’s Ed Pien, Corridor (2009), 2-panel installation of rope, hardware and colonial history on the African continent video [Richmond Art Gallery, Richmond BC, Jun 24-Aug 28] and in the Caribbean. His soft nylon sculptures seem part toys and part aliens, reflecting a fine line between humour and terror. Suspended, they have a dark, shamanistic presence with overtones of suturing and hybridity. Ottawa artist Michèle Provost has drawn from magazines, films, the Internet and comic strips in her hand-embroidered pieces. Her recent stitched images in Fibred Optics humourously convert writing from art magazines and curatorial texts into visual art. Mia Johnson

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 29 www.presentationhousegallery.org Karlheinz Weinberger: Intimate Stranger PRESENTATION HOUSE GALLERY, BC – May 20-Jul 17, 2011 Born in 1921, Zurich photographer Karlheinz Weinberger quietly built an impressive collection of images that remained largely unseen until his death in 2006. The Zurich counter-culture of the late 50s and early 60s emulated American “heroes” Elvis Presley, Marlon Brando and James Dean. Like the hippies who followed ten years later, Weinberger’s rebels were defiant teens – what we called “hoods” in Canada – rebelling against the conservatism and conformity of the post-war years. Sporting greaser hairdos, beehives, tattoos, and draped in paraphernalia like heavy chains, enormous customized belt buckles and crudely hand-decorated leather jackets, their look was aimed at being shocking and repelling. Weinberger’s exquisitely detailed work includes shots of gay men in Switzerland and Italy as well as the young “radi - cals”. A quiet and unassuming warehouse worker by day, he published pictures in a gay magazine under the pseudonym “Jim”. He was also invited to photograph Switzerland’s first Hell’s Angels chapter. The black and white images, which Karlheinz Weinberger, Zurich (c. 1961), photograph he printed in privacy, are brilliant documentations of the era. [Presentation House Gallery, North Vancouver BC, May Intimate Stranger was curated by Gianni Jetzer in collab - 20-Jul 17] oration with the Estate of Karlheinz Weinberger, care of Patrik Schedler, Zurich and Artist Resources Management, New York. The first large-scale institutional show of his work and the first in Canada, the exhibition was produced by the Swiss Institute of New York. A documentary film will screen during the exhibition. A publication is available at the Presentation House Gallery bookstore. Mia Johnson

The exhibit’s title, taken from the French term refers to elements that create the mood and general visual environment of a theatrical space. Costumes, props, lighting, set design and framing are typical components used to convey infor - mation about a story and its characters. Mise-en-Scène features the work of seven artists – Luke Butler, Noah Davis, Robert Hanson, Justine Kurland, Vik Muniz, John Sonsini and Pamela Wilson-Ryckman – who incorporate narrative elements in their individual artworks as avenues for visual storytelling. Luke Butler shows us masculine pop-culture icons in unheroic moments to express vulnerability. The San Francisco artist is known for his painted re-creations of scenes from the original Star Trek series, most often depicting Captain Kirk A L

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 39 www.circlecraft.net Material Bloom: Barbara Cohen and Peter Pierobon CIRCLE CRAFT GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Jul 8-Aug 2, 2011 Material Bloom presents work by two highly skilled West Coast artists with more than 25 years’ experience. Both hand-craft their meticulous pieces combining wood, metal, stone or other natural materials. Jewellery maker Barbara Cohen unveils a new series of sculptural rings with themes of growth and transformation. After having open heart surgery in 2008, her artwork shows a renewed focus on the fragility of life. She uses a variety of organic materials, including bamboo, cocoons, wood, feathers and corn husks along Peter Pierobon, Shape Shifter (2011), padauk, ebonized maple and with more tradi- mohair [Circle Craft Gallery, Vancouver BC, Jul 8-Aug 2] tional sterling sil- ver, pearls, pyrites and gold, often combined with unexpected, non- traditional materials like rubber, nylon and plastic. The juxtapositions of light and dark sensibilities in her “blooming” rings create humourous and sometimes whimsical effects. Cohen’s award-winning mesh and cocoon collections are shown in galleries in Canada, the United States, France, Korea and Bangkok. Wood furniture and jewellery boxes by Pierre Pierobon explore relationships between organic materials and clean, sophisticated forms. With indigenous cultures as his inspiration, Pierobon’s classy Barbara Cohen, Bloom (2009), pieces are a natural fit for contemporary spaces. sterling silver, fur, foam, gold, pearl This exhibit showcases work inspired by Vancouver’s mountains [Circle Craft Gallery, Vancouver BC, and the ocean.

Kleyn is a Vancouver-based artist and architect whose work crosses the boundaries of visual art, architecture, design and critical writing. Produced between 1969 and 1983, the photographs, 35mm slides, Super 8 films, collages and works on paper, represent a survey of his conceptual work when he was an architecture student at the University of British Columbia; pieces created while working for an architecture firm in Lon- don; and photos taken while in Rome on movie sets with Roberto Rossellini. During the 1980s he lived in New York, and worked mainly in video and sculp- ture. As a friend and peer of Ian Wallace, Rodney Graham and Jeff Wall, his experimentations during the period examined by this exhibition were informed not only by his international experiences R E V U

O but by his strong minimalist approach. C N A V

,

S Kleyn was born in Amsterdam and came to Van- E I R F F E

J couver in the 1960s to study at University of BC.

A N O I

R After many years abroad, he returned to Vancouver T A C

Y S

E before teaching architecture at the University of T R U O

C Detroit and University of Michigan. His work was Robert Kleyn, Untitled (1973), black and white photograph shown in exhibitions at the Vancouver Art Gallery [Catriona Jeffries Gallery, Vancouver BC, May 20-Jun 25] and abroad, including Graham, Kleyn, Wall, Wallace, Courtesy Catriona Jeffries, Vancouver Studio Casoli, Milan (1989) and Vancouver in the 70’s, Vancouver Art Gallery (1989). Kleyn has since had solo exhibitions at the Canadian Cultural Centre, Rome (1988) and the Belkin Satellite, Vancouver (2004). His work was included in the recent exhibition We: Vancouver 12 Manifestos for the City, Vancouver Art Gallery (2011). Mia Johnson

Inaugurated in 2008 to replace the Oregon Biennial, the exhibition showcases seven award win - ners from a pool of nearly 300 nominees. One of the seven artists will be honoured by receiving the prestigious $10,000 Arlene Schnitzer Prize at the opening celebration. The work of the award winners is as varied as is their locales. Chris Antemann of Joseph, Oregon creates delicate porcelain vignettes that recall 18th-century figurines which examine social relationships, rites and taboos among men and women. John Buck of Bozeman, Montana builds large- scale wooden sculptures of disparate objects and figures. The artist also creates wood-block prints and 2-D and 3-D mixed media works using wood. Seattle artist John Grade is known for his ambitious sculpture-meets-land art projects. His pieces employ elegant sculptural forms that naturally erode, degrade and alter over time as a result of materials chosen by the artist or, the envi - ronment. Jerry Iverson of Big Timber, Montana works with sumi ink on paper to create formal yet expressive composi - tions, while Susie Lee of Seattle creates time-based digital John Grade, Fold (2008-2010), wood cast in resin [Portland Art Museum, Portland OR, Jun 11-Sep 11] media works and video installations. Megan Murphy of Ketchum, Indiana combines photog - raphy and painting in works that capture quiet, contemplative elements of geography. Her documen - tary pieces feel abstract-like, although they are meant to record moments in history. Portland artist Michelle Ross also contemplates elements of formal, geometric and expressive abstraction in her mixed media oil paintings. Allyn Cantor

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 55 BY JIM FINLA Y Practical Art History or FINLAY FINE ART Confessions of a Fine Art Appraiser [email protected] Chapter 27. The Case of Edgar Heap of Birds The appraisal of contemporary art is becoming more of a challenge due to the changing nature of what is considered artistic practice within our postmodern society. Postmodernism has redefined art in terms of cultural artifact mandated by cultural theorists to tolerate its own manifestations and permu - tations in the service of the culture-industry. How do I appraise a controversial conceptual work gifted by an artist to The University of British Columbia through the The Belkin Gallery? As set out on the Belkin Gallery website, “Edgar Heap of Birds is an internationally known artist and scholar of Cheyenne and Arapaho descent. Native Hosts con - sists of 12 aluminum signs which make reference to the relation - ship between First Nations and British Columbia. They are sited at 12 different locations across the northwest sector of the UBC campus. On a white background in red text, British Columbia is spelled backwards followed by the phrase ‘Today your Host Is’, and completed by one of twelve names of British Columbia Indi - an Bands. Heap of Birds employs the format of official public sig - nage. Signs guide the way a person moves through public space and direct one’s behaviour. The viewer is prompted to consider and to potentially question their authoritative power. These signs use text in an imaginative and disconcerting way to stimulate thoughts about issues of history, public space, land claims, and even generosity and sharing”. In an interview with writer Robert P. Willis, for his article on the UBC Faculty of Arts website, the artist stated that “There is One sign from Edgar Heap of Birds’s 12- method to some of the text on the signs being in reverse” and that sign project Native Hosts , located at the “It's looking back at all history, all BC tribes. I put the text in University of British Columbia reverse to try to specify the true hosts of BC. The red symbolizes the blood of Native peoples, which also symbolizes renewal”. Kei - th Wallace, past-interim associate director and curator of the Belkin, described Native Hosts as not only filling the void of public art on campus, but that it will enhance how people interact with the campus; it will add another level of experience as people move through the university as each section of the artwork also looks like an official sign. The difficult question of classification is explored in an article, published in Issue 1 of the online UBC Undergraduate Journal of Art History by Catherine Falls, who asks “... is it Coast Salish art? Native American Art? Or should it be placed in another category altogether? The fact that the creation and installation of the work theoretically requires only the artist’s specifications and not the artist’s specific skills or presence further complicates the work’s authenticity in regards to First Nations identity, as exe - cution of the work could be carried out by anyone, regardless of ethnicity. In light of these myriad layers of artistic identity and production, how are we to ascertain the nature of the work’s authorship and clas - sification?”. It would appear that the monetary value of artwork which is associated with intangible aspects of con - ceptual work is no longer a legitimate indicator of desirability and acquirability, both of which affect worth. We are therefore left with the economies of material supply and cost of fabrication as an indicator of value. Is it justifiable to deem the work ‘worthless’ because its value appears to lie beyond a commodi - ty-driven market economy? This raises issues associated with possession, use, ownership and control, ironically the very issues that Heap of Birds is addressing within the context of Native land claims.

With a striking range of media – from mono - types to intaglio, relief, carborundum, chine collé, silkscreen and digital printmaking, the workshop supports techniques for the production of small edition and one-off printmaking. The salon style exhibition features 40 prints made over the past 40 years by more than 30 printmakers, including a print by each of the founding members, B.C. Binning and Wayne Eastcott, and early members such as Betty Jean Drummond and Pat Lewis. Eastcott, who was awarded a Canada Council grant for the creation of an innovative printmaking process in 1968, has been particularly promi - nent in establishing printmaking as an important art form in British Columbia. As Western Canada’s oldest printmaking studio, Dundar - ave was incorporated as a not-for-profit co-operative in 1971 and moved to its present Granville Island location from the Heather Aston, Broom (2009), drypoint chine Dundarave area of West Vancouver in 1979. collé [Dundarave Print Workshop & Gallery, Subsequent renovations were completed in the late 1990s Vancouver BC, May 23-Jun 19] creating a 230-square-foot gallery space devoted to the exhibi - tion of contemporary fine art original prints, and a custom-built printmaking workshop with 820 square feet of studios. Small on floor space but huge in influence on BC’s printmaking history, Dundarave supports some 30 active members at any given time. All prints in the exhibit were made in the Dundarave Print Workshop. Mia Johnson

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 67 Conservator’s Corner BY REBECCA PAVITT FINE ART CONSERVATION , WWW .FINEARTCONSERVE .COM Organizing and Preserving Collections – Part 3: Photo-Based Material As with other archival materials, collections of photographs and negatives need to be organized to give context to each image and for easy item retrieval. If your photographs are already grouped according to subject matter, you can get right down to cataloguing them with registration numbers and housing them in appropriate enclosures. In this modern world of point and shoot, just because the shutter was pressed doesn't mean that the image is worth keeping, so it may be time to winnow your collections. When dealing with a box of unorganized photographs, you must decide upon logical systems of order to define and categorize your collections. Family archives will benefit from chronological, geo - graphical and event headings whereas items of an artistic or documentary nature would require different categories. The physical organization and storage of collections present unique challenges as photogra - phy encompasses a variety of materials. Photographic types run the gambit from daguerreotype to ink- jet prints, not to mention the range of negative substrates (glass, cellulose nitrate, cellulose acetate and polyester), which can have different optimum storage requirements and mechanisms of deterioration. Moreover, sizes and formats of early photographs can vary, and will not meet modern standard sizing. Archival suppliers sell storage sys - tems designed for specific sizes and material formats for glass negatives, cased photographs, carte de visite photos, slides, and the like. Depend - ing on the types and sizes you have, standard storage systems may need to be modified to suit your collections. What follows are a few suggestions for the private collector to consider: Size: If you only have a few non- standard sized photographs (such as cased photos, tin-types, or mounted photos) you might consider a custom mount which would allow for proper sequencing. An alternative would be to mark the place the photo - graph would have occupied in the collection with a note giving its storage location. Materials: All photographs and negatives are sensitive to chemical deterioration. Contact materials should be PAT (Photo Activity Test) approved; archival suppliers carry storage materials with the proper specifications. Protein emulsions are thought to be sensitive to the high alkalinity of conventional buffered paper-based archival storage materials, so neutral pH cellulose, or archival quality plastic enclo - sures are good choices. For extra protection, Microchamber Silversafe boxes, papers and folders are dou - ble-sided: neutral pH for the contact side, and alkaline pH with volatile chemical absorbing zeolites for the non-contact side. Temperature and Relative Humidity: To avoid deterioration temperatures should not exceed 21ºC, but lower is better. For mixed photographic collections, a relative humidity of 35-40% is best, and should never rise above 60%. Owners of valuable photographs should consider environmentally controlled cold or frozen storage. Special Considerations: Cellulose nitrate and cellulose acetate negatives are often unstable. Cellulose nitrate may shrink, causing the gelatin emulsion to accordion wrinkle; cellulose acetate becomes brittle as it deteriorates, giving off a vinegar-like smell from released acetic acid. If your negatives show signs of these conditions, it would be best to have them copied, or put in cold storage to slow the process. Photographic chemistry and conservation is extraordinarily complicated; for more information visit Wil - helm Imaging Research at: www.wilhelm-research.com.

In this novel exhibition, a variety of embellished, carved and painted paddles are shown. Craft - ed from red and yellow cedar – some embellished with inlaid abalone or copper and others carved with family crests – they transcend their utilitarian backgrounds as objects of art in their own right. Numerous contemporary First Nations artists carve paddles as a way to show their skill with relief work on two- dimensional surfaces. The intricately fashioned and embel - lished paddles are often used in ceremonial processions and dances. Other paddles, painted with simple designs, have been used in the water. Diverse shapes and distinctive traits represent the work of artists from different tribes and com - munities: blunt, flatter bottoms for river paddling or point - ed tips that make the paddles quiet for hunting and for use as potential weapons. Northwest Coast paddles and canoes have traditional - ly been created with extreme attention to detail, reflecting both the artistic skills of the community and the symbolic L to R: Joe David, Whaler’s Paddle , yellow cedar; importance of the pieces.

76 PREVIEW I JUNE/JULY/AUGUST 2011 VIGNETTES • June/July/August 2011

Oregon ALLYN CANTOR RICHARD BARNES: ANIMAL LOGIC Blue Sky Gallery, Portland, June 2- July 3 New York-based photographer Richard Barnes documents the way natural history museums organize, preserve and present collec - tions in order to give the public an experience of the “wild”. Barnes views museums as “containers” for remembered and forgotten aspects Richard Barnes of a culture’s history. For a number of years he has produced large-for - mat colour images that are hauntingly beautiful and surrealistically contemplative; they remind us just how unnatural it feels to view vistas of the natural world in the context of an institution. ROSS PALMER BEECHER: AMERICANA Hallie Ford Museum of Art, Salem, June 4-July 31 Mixed-media works created by Seattle-based Ross Palmer Beecher over 25 years reflect the Americana theme in this mid-career retrospective exhibition. Found objects and Ross Palmer Beecher reclaimed aluminum cans, combined with elements of pop culture and traditional American folk art, are woven and stitched together to form bold sculptural assemblages of flags, quilts and portraits of famous folk. Her iconic compositions and innovative use of material positions her as a contemporary authentic “Americana”. ANNE SIEMS: SAINTS AND OTHER FOLK Laura Russo Gallery, Portland, June 2-July 1 In her most recent series of paintings, Seattle artist Anne Siems continues to explore attributes of the figure through alluded-to symbolism rather than a more direct narrative. Render - ings of ethereal youthful subjects in mythological settings are inspired by an ongoing interest in vintage photographs, works by Anne Siems European Masters, and Early American Folk Art. Her romanticized tableaux, filled with floating fanciful creatures, are meticulously detailed allegorical renderings of an enchanting imaginary world. SANG-AH CHOI: FAB:TOPIA Chambers@916, Portland, through June 25 The playful imagery in Sang-ah Choi’s artwork blends references to her native Korean culture with her experience of living in America. Her new exhibition combines an “idealized” American landscape with traces of the traditional Korean utopian-landscape style, “Shib- Jang-Sang-Do”. Her large-scale piece, Garbage Mountain , speaks Sang-ah Choi with purpose to the excess and demands of our consumer-driven society. A section of her Pink Shelf installation shows a female figure who appears to be eating strands of her own innards while sitting yoga-style – another witty take on inexplicable over-consumption. KIRK BOTERO: CHROMATIC DREAMS Blackfish Gallery, Portland, May 31–July 2 Botero is an abstract painter concerned with the process inherent in the non-representational, where gesture, atmosphere and form are in a constant shift to be resolved. He describes his process in relation to the “infinite ways color and form can be arranged to con - vey meaning” in which he “boils ideas down into a few simple ele - ments”. The painterly works in this, his first solo exhibition at the Blackfish, are colourful, feel grounded in their assertive shapes and Kirk Botero tangible sense of form, and speak to a struggle between the conscious and subconscious. www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 77 www.whatcommuseum.org Evergreen Muse: The Art of Elizabeth Colborne WHATCOM MUSEUM, BELLINGHAM WA – Jun 17-Sep 25, 2011 Elizabeth Aline Colborne (1885- 1948) was an important Pacific Northwest artist known mainly for her contribution to the Arts and Crafts Movement of the region. In her time, Colborne was also a successful children’s book illustrator. For most of her adult life she divided her time between New York, which served her professional career, and her Bellingham home. This comprehensive exhibit showcases the many facets of Colborne’s artistic endeavours, including original examples of her block prints and a selection of vintage illustrated children’s books. During the 1920s and 30s, Colborne designed, carved and printed her own editions of colour woodcuts. Characterized by bold arrangements and colourful massed shapes, they often depicted regional landscapes. Her work of this period employed innovative techniques that were highly influenced by the aesthetics of Japanese Ukiyo-e prints. Colborne studied at Pratt Institute in New York with the influential artist and art educator, Arthur Wesley Dow (1857- 1922). Inspired by East Asian art as well as the British Arts and Elizabeth Colborne, The Sister Peaks of the Crafts Movement, Dow published a book in 1899 that became Cascade Range, Whatcom County Washington the cornerstone of art education in America for half a century. He (c. 1925), tempera [Whatcom Museum, encouraged the creation of art using such compositional ele- Bellingham WA, Jun 17-Sep 25] ments as line, mass, colour and a balance of light and dark forms, rather than representation.

82 PREVIEW I JUNE/JULY/AUGUST 2011 # OPEN LATE ON FIRST THURSDAY VIGNETTES • June/July/August 2011

Washington ALLYN CANTOR BEAUTY & BOUNTY: AMERICAN ART IN AN AGE OF EXPLORATION Seattle Art Museum, Seattle, June 30-September 11 This summer exhibition at SAM features 45 grand landscape paintings and some 60 Albert Bierstadt early photographs by artist-explorers who ventured into the vast wilderness areas of the American West during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Many of the works have rarely if ever been seen by the public. The legacy of artists such as Albert Bierstadt, Sanford Gifford, and Thomas Moran is one of impressive interpretations of the “beau - ty and bounty” of the awe-inspiring landscape they encountered. CARA BARER: OVERLOAD Foster/White Gallery, Seattle, August 4-27 Texas artist Cara Barer shapes discarded reading material of all kinds into mesmerizing sculptural objects set against velvet-black back - grounds as subjects for her fascinating photographs. Her manipula - tion techniques include soaking, curling, bending, clipping and oth - Cara Barer erwise transforming pages of obsolete, unwanted or irrelevant print information. The resultant blossoming of delicate organic pieces preserve the idea of books as tangible objects and question informa - tion loss and overload in an age of rapidly changing ways of access - ing, delivering and using information. VICTORIA JOHNSON: BALANCING ACTS Lisa Harris Gallery, Seattle, July 7-31 In her own words,Victoria Johnson focuses on abstraction as an investigation of “pure form, pure surface and pure color” dedicated to her “evolving personal language”. These formal principles are applied to the act of painting itself in which multiple layers of pig - Victoria Johnson ment and painting mediums create multi-directional movement and flow within the picture plane. Johnson’s off-beat earthy palette is emotionally appealing and the carving of space into curvilinear inter - locking forms are reminiscent of mid-century design motifs. PAULA MARATEA FULD: TEXT – WORLD VIEW CONTEXT Gallery 110, Seattle, August 4-27 The broad topic of how evolving communication methods effect change is a point of departure for Paula Maratea Fuld in this exhibit of new works. Plaster techniques derived from old- world frescoes, and modern plastic-based mediums give Fuld a paint - ing surface that simultaneously reflects and absorbs light. Her calli - graphic marks resemble both the script of Eastern languages and computer-generated code. The intent is to deconstruct formal written text to build a symbolic language of paint, texture and light. Paula Maratea Fuld THINK TWICE: NEW LATIN AMERICAN JEWELRY Bellevue Arts Museum, Bellevue, May 26-October 16 Think Twice presents a wide overview of the unique language of jewellery in an impressive exhibition of more than 130 works by over 90 Latin-American jewellery-makers from 25 countries. An exquisite display of pieces dating from the 1940s-1990s sets the design-history tone for the major collection of contemporary pieces, whether traditional or experimental and abstract in concep - tion. There are elements of rich indigenous influences and conven - tional craft-making techniques fused with expressive modernist influ - ences and innovative industrial techniques.

www.gregkucera.com Deborah Butterfield: Seven Bronze Sculptures GREG KUCERA GALLERY, SEATTLE WA – Jun 2-Jul 30, 2011 For several decades, Deborah Butterfield has created one-of-a-kind sculptures of horses. Branches a nd limbs of trees, found wood planks, care - fully chosen pieces of scrap metal, and various plant materials have all served as source material for the Montana-based artist, who is well-known internationally for her many public works. Most recently,

Y Butterfield has furthered her technical process by R E L L A G

developing a variation of the lost-wax method of A R E C U

K bronze casting.

G E R G Butterfield’s primary sculptures are slightly larger F O

Y S E

T than life-size. The ephemeral horse forms appear to be R U O C constructed from conglomerations of branches and driftwood. The artist carefully fastens each piece of material to armatures that imitate the gestures and postures of real horses. As Butterfield states, “... the gesture is really more within the body, it's like an inter - nalized gesture, which is more about the content, the state of mind or of being at a given instant”. These works cannot be duplicated like other cast bronze sculptures. In preparation for turning her assembled wood sculptures into bronze, a heat-resis - Deborah Butterfield, Tracery (2010), unique cast bronze with tant plaster mould is made for every piece of wood in patina [Greg Kucera Gallery, Seattle WA, Jun 2-Jul 30] the entirety of the sculpture. Piece by piece, molten bronze fills the moulds, retaining the original shape and the grain patterning and variation of the wood. Each unique sculpture has a patina replicating the original wood colouration – the artist’s intricate casting process yields extraordinary results. Allyn Cantor

86 PREVIEW I JUNE/JULY/AUGUST 2011 # OPEN LATE ON FIRST THURSDAY Exhibition Catalogues of Interest NICK CAVE: MEET ME AT THE CENTER OF THE EARTH was published in con - junction with his nationally travelling exhibition, which closes at the Seattle Art Museum on June 5. Cave’s whimsical wearable sculptures combine elements of assemblage, costume and adornment. Approximately 200 colour plates are organized into sections featuring Relics, Soundsuits, Performance, Tondos and Surrational images. Several essays contextualize Cave’s innovative work, while a Q & A with exhibition curator Kate Eilertsen of the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco provide insight into Cave’s creative impetus. Hardcover, 240 pages, $49.95 USD. Available from Seattle Art Museum Shop, 206-654- 3120 or [email protected]

JOAN BALZAR: VANCOUVER ORBITAL explores the hard-edge abstractions of West Vancouver painter Joan Balzar. A detailed essay by Bill Jeffries describes her use of the arc, the X, circles and orbits in paintings from the past 50 years, and her efforts to ground her work in philosophy and science. Seeking to imbue her works with their own light, Balzar may be best known for pieces incorporat - ing neon tube lighting and metallic paints. Softcover, 24 pages, $12 CAD. Available from Simon Fraser University Gallery, Burnaby, 778-782-4266, or [email protected]

AN INVITATION TO AN INFILTRATION documents a group exhibition of local and international artists at the Contemporary Art Gallery during the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. Curator Eric Fredericksen invited artists to stage “interventions” that challenged concepts of the art institution. Loosely assembled like an artist’s sketchbook, the black and white catalogue documents sculptures, installations, wall art, video art, window displays, email exchanges and promotional materials. Softcover, 94 pages, $35 CAD. Available from the Contemporary Art Gallery, Vancouver, 604-681-2700, [email protected]

AMERICAN CHRONICLES: THE ART OF NORMAN ROCKWELL was published by the Norman Rockwell Museum for a nationally touring exhibition that was on view at the Tacoma Art Museum this past spring. The significant volume con - tains dozens of colour illustrations representing every phase of Rockwell’s long and prolific career. The array of archival photographs of the artist is especially intriguing, as many of these images are published for the first time in this mono - graph. Written by Linda Szekely Pero, her insightful perspective reflects an in- depth understanding of both the artistic iconography and life journey of Norman Rockwell. Softcover, 276 pages, $30 USD. Available from Tacoma Art Museum Store, 253-272- 4258, ext 7 or [email protected]

ELSEWHERE: NEALY BLAU showcases the photographs of Seattle artist Nealy Blau in full page colour illustrations. The hand-printed landscape images, which at first appear to be nature pictures taken in various forests through the seasons, are actually photographs of dioramas shot in 12 natural history museums from Chicago to Santa Barbara. In an interview with Clint Willour, Blau examines the elusive boundaries between reality and fiction, nature and artifice. Hardcover, 64 pages, $60 USD. Published by Decode Books. Available from G. Gibson Gallery, Seattle, 206-587-4033 or [email protected]

Please note: Prices may be subject to additional charges for postage, handling and taxes. www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 87 www.henryart.org The Talent Show HENRY ART GALLERY, SEATTLE WA – May 7-Aug 21, 2011 The Talent Show examines a range of cultural, emotional and ethical experiences that emerge from the dichotomy between the hope for fame and the desire for privacy. This interper - sonal dynamic sets the tone for the artworks in this thought- provoking show. Organized by the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, this exhibit includes 18 artists whose early work examines the line O
