www.whatcommuseum.org Lesley Dill’s Poetic Visions WHATCOM MUSEUM, BELLINGHAM WA – Oct 23-Mar 4, 2012 Lesley Dill’s innovative art practice combines elements of language, poetry, performance and multi-media visual art to explore themes of faith and spirituality through the human form and its coverings. Throughout her career lyrical vocab- ulary has been a binding factor in Dill’s artworks, serving as a to the inner world of universal emotions and complexities. The Poetic Visions exhibit focuses on two bodies of work; metallic sculp- tures like Shimmer and a 2010 installation based on the life of Sister Gertrude Morgan (1900-1980), a preacher and missionary who used her music and art as tools of her ministry. For the installation Hell Hell Hell/Heaven Heaven Heaven: Encountering Sister Gertrude Morgan and Revelation, Dill constructed two lavish gowns to reflect Morgan’s early life and her life after she expe- rienced a divine revelation that she had been chosen to be the bride of Christ. The white-based wed- ding gown, adorned with text and cascading train-like ban- ners that speak of her calling, is visually connected to the other black-based dress in a unified space draped with poetic references.

The cas- cading 60-foot long is integrated with the mystical poetry of Salvador Espriu (1913-1985) and materiality evokes a rela- tionship between the physical and the spiritual.

Through both two and three dimensions, Rogers expresses his enduring interests in the relationship between art and nature, language and consciousness, and diversity and unity. Ultimately embedded in his work is his fundamental belief in the oneness of Otto Rogers all things. ANGELA LEACH: NEW WORK Herringer Kiss Gallery, Calgary, Oct 22-Nov 19 Although her abstractions evoke Op Art and are often compared with those of Bridget Riley, Angela Leach identifies herself as a process painter. Her dazzling geometric designs are based on the orderly repetition of a very particular range of colours. Influenced by her background in fibre arts and textile design, Leach’s beautifully executed paintings compel us with their giddy arrays of wavy and wiggly lines. DON POLLACK: FAR FROM HOME Newzones, Calgary, Dec 1-Jan Angela Leach 14, 2012 “I try to imbue the picture plane with what makes nature potent, mysterious and ultimately untamable,” says real - ist painter Don Pollack, “while at the same time manifesting an awareness that this view of nature is a product of my own mythology.” Although his landscapes may employ heightened and saturated colours, they are often filtered through a dreamy haze that diffuses their forms and adds to their mystery.

A PASSION FOR NATURE: LANDSCAPE PAINTING FROM 19TH Don Pollack CENTURY Art Gallery of Alberta, Edmonton, Oct 15-Feb 20, 2012 On loan from the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Wash - ington, DC the 33 masterworks in this exhibition trace the evolution of landscape painting in France from the mid-19th century to the early 20th. From Realism through to Impres - sionism and on to Symbolism, the survey includes works by Gustave Courbet, Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir among others. THE WINNIPEG ALPHABESTIARY University of Lethbridge Art Gallery, Lethbridge, Jan 12-Mar 1, 2012 This engaging group Pierre-Auguste Renoir of images, originally commissioned from leading Winnipeg artists by Border Crossings magazine, takes the form of an “alphabestiary” – an alphabet illustrated with images of animals. From Wanda Koop’s looming ape to Shaun Morin’s snoozing zebra, these interesting, odd and sometimes imagi - nary beasts amuse us even as they stimulate ideas around our relationship with the natural world.

Neil Farber www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 13 www.trepanierbaer.com Douglas Coupland: Twelve Slogans for the Early Twenty-first Century TRÉPANIERBAER GALLERY, CALGARY AB – Dec 8-Jan 14, 2012 Twelve Slogans for the Early Twenty-first Century (2011) is a limited edition of six prints plus two artist proofs. Each edition includes 12 different slogans on coloured panels measuring 22 ¥ 17 ¥ 0.5 inches. The McLuhanesque slogans are appropriate for the times: “Our only hope is to invent something smarter than ourselves” and “It’s okay to want to stop being an individual”. The exhibit also includes samples from Coupland’s new Momento Mori series of 28 paintings shown at the Art Fair (2011). The QR paintings and accompanying cone sculptures are vividly coloured and opti- cally appealing. Scanned with a QR code read- er, the paintings reveal such phrases as “Everything Beautiful is True”. As Coupland describes them, they are “imprecations to young people to take the preciousness of life and move forward with it”. Mixing phrases like “God is Great” beside “Whoever Dies With The Most Toys Wins” creates some startling

effects. Installed alongside are beautiful, solid Y R E L L A

www.willamette.edu/arts/hfma/index.html Norman Lundin: Inside/Outside HALLIE FORD MUSEUM OF ART, SALEM OR – Nov 19-Jan 22, 2012 This exhibition brings together some 30 paintings and in the elegant signature style of the highly regarded artist, Norman Lundin. Well-known for his subdued, often foreboding, and contemplative approach, Lundin’s interi- ors, still lifes and landscapes give a distinct perceptual impression of the solitary experience. The atten- tion given to immaculately rendered glass jars, tin cans and other studio objects reflects the pensive state that artists often deeply sink into during the creative process. With a focus on defining and articulating space, his investigation into the characteristics and effects of the use of light lies at the core of Lundin’s artwork. According to Lundin, the inten- tion behind his compositional ele- ments is to not communicate much Norman Lundin, Still Life for A Gray Afternoon (2009), oil on canvas [Hallie Ford emotion, but to reveal the negative Museum of Art, Portland OR, Nov 19-Jan 22] space in which each physical object exists. In his words, “One cannot have an object without having a void” as “objects are not there to be described; they are there to explain the space”. This summation on the treatment of atmospheric arrangements is primary in the artist’s body of work. Lundin is a Professor Emeritus from the University of Washington where he taught from 1964- 2004. He has a long list of exhibition history and has been the recipient of numerous awards, fellow- ships and grants.

Emotional Blackmail is a curated show “tracing a tendency over the last decade away from irony and towards an attempt at sincere expression”. Markús Andrésson and Chen Tamir have been looking at the difficulty of generating and analyzing emotion in contemporary art, and the ways in which artists are currently using emotions. The resulting exhibit offers a sample of complex works in an effort to examine what they call a “new stream of sincerity” or “neo-sincerity”.

SAM mounted a solo show of Nomura’s work in their new museum in 1933, and after his death, a memorial exhibit in 1960. Kamekichi Tokita was also a prominent artist who exhibited at SAM in the mid-1930s. Beginning on the day Pearl Harbor was bombed, the artist kept a diary highlighting in detail his personal accounts and experiences during the war. Tokita died in 1948 and his rare, insightful diary serves as a basis for the publication that accompanies this exhibit. Allyn Cantor

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 25 GALLERY VIEWS BY ANN ROSENBERG [email protected] Nothing is Certain but Death and Taxes If Benjamin Franklin thought this was true in the 18th century, his aphorism might benefit from this 21st-century amendment. Even today, death remains the universal leveller but taxes vary enor - mously from property to property, city to city and from country to country. The tax assessments for commercial galleries in Vancouver are so outrageous you will think I’m making them up. For a premise in the South Granville Gallery Row area, the 2010 tax bills ranged from $45,000-$60,000. Some particulars of commercial tax assessments (unlike residential tax esti - mates) are available to the public and hence, most can be obtained by phoning City Hall or check - ing an appropriate website. This service accommodates those who are nosy and/or seriously curi - ous about renting or owning property on certain shopping streets. Further research revealed that renters of gallery premises are often subject to triple net leases which require tenants to be solely responsible for all costs relating to net real estate taxes, insurance, and maintenance in addition to the rental fee. These conditions are set forth in legally binding short or long-term agreements made between owners and occupiers. Whichever way you examine the situation, taxes are a fundamental costly factor. Xisa Huang (owner of the Bau-Xi Gallery since 1970) gave me an indication of other items that all galleries typ - ically pay for such as salaries, health and other benefits for staff members; utilities including telephone, fax and inter - net connections; security alarms; printing, advertising and mailing costs; equipment maintenance and repairs of many kinds; vehicles and shipping; and brokerage, Gallery space on Granville Street in Vancouver accounting and legal fees. She is amazed that despite ever-escalating costs, many local galleries are still open and that more artists than 20 years ago are making money with art as their full-time occupation. Andy Sylvester, Director of the Equinox Gallery, told me a few things about taxation categories and gallery-location restrictions. On South Granville and elsewhere in Vancouver, galleries are taxed in the same category as shops that sell shoes, clothing and similar commodities which is different from the way property taxes for grocers and restaurants are calculated. Furthermore (although these are slightly different issues) you can’t operate a gallery in a neighbourhood desig - nated as residential or in an industrial area filled with warehouses or factories unless the zoning is C3 which does allow for arts and crafts. The historically-sanctioned zone where the Equinox is situated is managed by the South Granville Business Improvement Association. Among other things, the Association boasts a lavish website as one of its benefits and it lobbies for more equitable levels of taxation. Galleries like the Equinox are required to become members for a fee of several thousand a year. Last year the com - mercial tax component for Sylvester's gallery was assessed at just over $45,000. No wonder he is seeking a different future location for the Equinox Gallery. In comparison, across the border the commercial tax costs for a major gallery are considerably less. For example, Phen Huang, proprietress of the Foster/White Gallery in Seattle's Pioneer Square, received a $20,000 assessment for 2010. With slightly less than 11,000 square feet of street level space, the Foster/White is comparable in size to the Equinox Gallery. In an area somewhat akin to Vancouver's South Granville Gallery Row, a 9th Avenue gallery in Portland with over 2,000 square feet was assessed less than $4,400 in annual property taxes. There are warnings about the ticking time bomb that is lurking behind the calls for making changes to the extreme inequities between commercial and residential tax rates. The outcome may give home owners some sleepless nights.

Carol Sawyer Through these means, Sawyer critiques the various ways in which histories are written and cultural assumptions are made. Expect to be amused and provoked. COLETTE URBAN: PIN-UP grunt gallery, Vancouver, Oct 28-Dec 3 Born in Colorado and based in Newfoundland, Colette Urban is one of Canada’s most inventive multidisciplinary artists. This exhibition features video work, digital stills, and a wonderfully Colette Urban absurd costume. Notable is HOOT , the video recording of a performance that took place in a reflecting pool, in which Urban was dressed in reflective foil and masked in cotton and metallic discs, her actions played out against the soundtrack of a 1954 Edith Sitwell reading. ON THE NATURE OF THINGS Kamloops Art Gallery, Kamloops, Oct 15-Dec 31 Guest-curated by wunderkind Patrik Andersson, this captivating group show looks at the complex and fluctuating relationship between nature and civilization. The Canadian and European artists represented range across media and practices, Kristi Malakoff from sculpture and video to sidewalk rubbings and origami. The sources of their imagery are wide-ranging too, and include advertising, cinema, music, and the conflicted tropes of Mod - ernism. ASIAN CERAMICS FROM ANCIENT SHIPWRECKS Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, Victoria, Oct 11-Jan 2, 2012 Both treasure hunters and cultural historians will thrill to this exhibition. It features historic Thai, Vietnamese and Chinese ceramics, including delicate porcelains, recovered from shipwrecks that occurred from the 15th to the 19th century. Among the objects on view are those salvaged from what is known as “the Chinese Titanic”, the 1822 wreck of the Tek Sing in the South China Sea. Vietnamese, c. 1500 PENTIMENTO SAGA Gallery, Salmon Arm, Nov 5-25 Pentimento, a painting term meaning “evidence of an artist’s change of mind”, is applied here to a lively survey of contempo - rary textiles and needle arts.

British Columbia Robin LauRence GATHIE FALK: PRESENCE AND ABSENCE Equinox Gallery, Vancou - ver, Nov 5-30 The centrepiece of this exhibition, by Vancouver’s iconic Gathie Falk, is a freestanding, life-size wedding veil made of papier-mâché, weighed down by big rocks, and charged with metaphysical intent. Also on view in this show are Falk’s sculptural depictions of men’s shirts and women’s dresses, paintings of shirting on vellum, and a never- before-exhibited pile of bronze snowballs, symbolically titled Arsenal . Gathie Falk GREGG SIMPSON: OUT OF THE WOODS Evergreen Cultural Centre, Coquitlam, Nov 18-Dec 10 A longtime presence in Vancouver and widely exhibited abroad, Gregg Simpson is showing three different bodies of work based on ideas of landscape, actual and symbolic. Working in the traditions of both Surrealism and Lyrical Abstraction, Simpson explores the West Coast rainforest, First Nations totem figures, and the impact of pre- industrial art on early Modernism.

RICHARD SUMNER: BENTWOOD Inuit Gallery, Vancouver, Nov 19- Gregg Simpson Dec 9 Award-winning Kwakwaka’wakw artist Richard Sumner is highly esteemed for his beautiful bentwood boxes. Deriving from centuries-old tradition, each bentwood box is a demanding object to make, and Sumner is truly a master of his art form, steaming, shaping, and painting red or yellow cedar to realize his elegant and accomplished designs. His outstanding work has been commissioned and collected across North Ameri - ca and around the world. DIVYA MEHRA: THE PARTY IS OVER Artspeak, Vancouver, Nov 26- Richard Sumner Jan 28, 2012 Multimedia artist Divya Mehra takes on postcolo - nial issues of cultural identity, including displacement, hybridization, and disparities of power. In her first solo show in Vancouver, Mehra will create a new sculptural work that addresses excess and urban decay, complemented by an off-site project that employs skywriter technology to critique “the politicization of space”.

TENUGUI TOWELS: DESIGN EXCELLENCE IN JAPANESE DAILY LIFE Divya Mehra Japanese Canadian National Museum, Burnaby, Jan 15-Mar 26, 2012 Who knew that cotton hand towels could be so enchanting? Tenugui, traditional Japanese towels used in both the kitchen and the bathroom, are printed with a wide range of motifs, from dots and zigzags to strawberries, bunnies, cherry blossoms and maple leaves. While presenting an array of these beautifully everyday objects, the show also surveys their use, from Shinto ritual in the 8th century to their common applications today, not only as towels but as gift wrap.

Clark Archives and the Construction of Habitat Dioramas at the American Museum of Natural History , this exhibit offers unprecedented access to the work of James L. (Lippit) Clark (1883-1969). Clark was an artist, explorer, big-game hunter, entrepreneur, museum preparator and director. He completed the construction of the Hall of African Mammals for the museum in New York, and planned and constructed the museum’s Asian Hall and North American Hall of Mammals. The Vancouver exhi - bition presents three dra - matic panoramas enlarged from the original shots taken with Kodak Cirkut cameras in Kenya between 1920 and 1930. One com - memorates the African Hall expedition, and the other two were used as source material to create the background of the Water Hole Group diorama. James L. Clark, Kenyan Water Hole No. 1 (1933), black and white photograph, detail [Satellite The photographs provide Gallery, Vancouver BC, Oct 29-Jan 14] visitors to Satellite Gallery with an immersive environment in which to consider how African nature was seen, understood and measured for reconstruction and representation at the American Museum of Natural History. A second part of the exhibit can be seen online at www.natureknowledgeknower.com. The online archive, made public for the first time, allows access to a selection of visual materials originally collect - ed and organized by Clark to facilitate making the habitat dioramas. Satellite Gallery is an experimental exhibition space shared by the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery (UBC), the Museum of Anthropology (University of British Columbia), and Presentation House Gallery.

Born in Vancouver and raised on the southern Gulf Islands of British Columbia, she graduated with honours in painting from the Universi - ty of Victoria in 1985. Working from vintage black and white snapshots of figures from the mid-20th cen - tury, Scoones paints small, quiet portraits of bygone beach scenes and other leisure activ - ities. Many begin with a recycled painting on a wood surface, which she sands and rebuilds to create a slightly worn and scarred surface. Her palette has been described as “influenced by 1950s film noir artwork; holiday postcards and Kodak slide film”. The paintings have the nostalgic yet detached quality of illustrations found in early advertising. Scoones attended the Art Studio Pro - Kate Scoones, Heart’s A Fire (2011), oil on wood [Polychrome Fine Arts, gram at the Banff Centre for the Arts, Victoria BC, Nov 13-Dec 1] Alberta for two years. During the late 1980s she worked at the British Council in London and later at the Banff Centre, the Burnaby Arts Cen - tre and the Vancouver Island School of Art in Victoria, BC. She has participated in group and solo exhibitions in British Columbia and Alberta, and her work is in public and private collections in Canada, the US and Denmark. Mia Johnson

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 37 www.granvillefineart.com Ray Mead (1921-1998) GRANVILLE FINE ART, VANCOUVER BC – Nov 26-Dec 10, 2011 Ray Mead: Works from the Collection of Carolynn Lund-Mead honours a pioneer of contemporary painting in Canada and member of the Painters Eleven. The Painters Eleven was formed in 1953 with the aim of promoting more abstract and experimental art than what was being produced by the Group of . The group included prominent artists Jack Bush, , Jock MacDonald and Ray Mead dur- ing its exciting and contentious eight years. Ray Mead has been described as “a purposeful painter with a sophisticated sense of composition”. An admirer of the work of Franz Kline and Nicolas de Staël, Mead com- posed simple arrangements of line and shape that nonethe- less have a strong anecdotal quality. He worked with multi- ple layers of paint to build up “paintscapes” that strove to capture a child-like quality, although they were executed with great sophistication.

The exhibit will be the first time Kai McCall and Mo Tan have shown in Vancouver. While McCall and Yu focus on figures, Tan captures the anonymity of large cities. Kai McCall lives and works in Montreal when he has shown at Galerie d’Avignon and Galerie McCLure. His unusual surrealist paintings pair pin-up girls in epic poses with mythical creatures. Fanciful and slightly ambiguous, McCall’s colourful narratives are dense with references from , literature, illustration and films. Kwan Yu similarly combines images and text from art magazines with objects in his studio to create contemporary but enig- matic juxtapositions. Yu’s style, however, is completely dif- ferent. Sombre, almost spooky figures and faces emerge from dark backgrounds and layers of wash. Yu has lived in Vancouver since 1992, where he graduated with a BA from Emily Carr Institute of Art & Design in 2001. Mo Tan is a artist based in Paris who has travelled to more than 70 countries. Working from photos of urban scenes, he creates realistic renderings and partial Kai McCall, Always (2011), oil on canvas [Jacana glimpses of city streets, office windows, subway stations, Gallery, Vancouver BC, Nov 15-Dec 18] railway yards, piers and bridges in Yokohama, New York, Paris, Rotterdam, Shanghai and dozens of other cities wordwide. He violates the precision of the acrylic paintings by fragmenting the composition or splashing them with dripping paint and other pictorial treatments. Mia Johnson

Snider has made significant contributions to contemporary art practice in Cana- da. From 1981-2009 he taught visual art studio, critical theory, technical theatre and social art history in the School for the Contemporary Arts at Simon Fraser Uni- versity, and is currently a Professor Emeritus. He served as Curator of Con- temporary Art for the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, and for Open Space Gallery, Victoria, BC. He is well-known as a writer of .

During these years, he began to recognize their potential as conceptual prototypes addressing issues in the public sphere. While the full-scale public art projects represented by these models are often unreasonable and even impossible, the models themselves serve to illustrate and underscore issues of global concern. Greg Snider has been the recipient of numerous grants, including Senior Arts Grants. He is represented in a number of public and private collections in Canada, including the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria and the National Gallery of Canada. Mia Johnson

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 67 Conservator’s Corner BY NADINE POWER FINE ART CONSERVATOR , [email protected] To Line or Not to Line: Structural Remedies for Canvas Paintings In 2006, when Las Vegas hotel tycoon, Steve Wynn, famously put his elbow through Picasso’s Le Rêve , a collec - tive cringe rippled through the conservation world. It was not just the heartbreaking damage to a masterpiece that made the incident so horrendous, nor was it the fact that the accident nullified Wynn’s deal to sell the work for $139 mil - lion to Steven A. Cohen, but those who have repaired can - vas tears knew that the work involved in restoring the paint - ing would certainly be difficult. In historic conservation processes, it would have often been necessary to line a canvas such as Le Rêve to repair the Before treatment: large tears to the canvas on upper left damage. Lining is a centuries-old process that involves glu - ing a second fabric backing to a weakened or damaged can - vas to provide structural support to a fragile painting. Traditional linings used animal-based glue paste or wax-resin mixtures to attach the fabric to the canvas, and a heated iron and/or a large press were then used to flatten the two fabrics together. Although often very effective, the treatments were invasive, harsh, and occasionally resulted in the flattening of impasto, impregnation of the paint with wax, or even shrinking of the original canvas. Still today, lining can be a necessary step in the preservation of a and is often chosen by conservators when treat - ing very old or badly damaged art works. The 20th-century development of new adhesives and fabrics have improved the lining process considerably, making it a more controllable one. Advancements have reduced the amount of heat, moisture and pressure required, and have also increased the reversibility of a lined painting. Repairs to the painting Still Life with Flowers by April Banyack is an example where, although lining would have been an appropriate choice due to the severity of the tears, less invasive treatment methods were considered. Before treatment: tears from the back Still Life with Flowers was torn in several places when it fell off the wall onto the back of a chair. Painted in 1954, the canvas was in relatively good condition although some weakening around the tacking margins was noted. After surface cleaning and varnish removal, the tears were careful - ly rewoven, using both the original fibres and canvas thread inserts secured with welding powder and a hot tacking iron. Tear mending, although often extremely time consuming, can be a rewarding alternative to lining, and when properly executed, is practically invisible when viewed from both the front and back. Because this painting was weak around its tacking edge, the decision was also made to strip line the painting. Strip lining is a technique that introduces adhesive and a backing fabric only around After treatment: detail of mended tear from the back the exterior edges of the work, where a canvas is often the weakest, providing the necessary support for restretching the canvas onto its stretcher bars. After the structural treat - ments, the painting was filled and retouched to replace lost paint around the tear areas and then varnished. Although lining would have been a faster method and certainly would have been an effective treat - ment for mending the tears, the concern for the integrity of the original canvas and the artwork as a his - toric object influenced the decision to mend by reweaving.

72 PREVIEW I NOVEMBER/DECEMBER/JANUARY 2011/12 # OPEN LATE ON FIRST THURSDAYS VIGNETTES • Nov/Dec/Jan 2011/12

Oregon aLLyn cantoR GEORGES ROUAULT: MISERERE ET GUERRE Halle Ford Museum of Art, Salem, Oct 1-Dec 23 The Miserere et Guerre exhibition brings togeth - er 22 prints drawn from regional public collections by the French Fauvist, Georges Rouault (1871-1958). The straightforward compo - sitions, heavy contours and dark tonality add emotional weight to the already poignant imagery, which can be appreciated for both stark beauty and breadth of human insight. Rouault produced 58 prints for Georges Rouault the complete series between 1914-1927, a period shaped by the hor - rific events of World War I which largely informed the “Mercy and War” subject matter. DAVID ECKARD: DEPLOYMENT The Art Gym at Marylhurst University, Marylhurst, Oct 3-Dec 11 This mid-career survey covers 20 years of Eckard’s multidisciplinary artwork. Some 40 works by the Portland- based artist show the scope of his practice through examples of new sculpture, painting, performance and video, as well as selections of past artworks, objects, documentations, drawings, and physical remnants from installations and performances. A portion of this survey is exhibit - David Eckard ed in collaboration with The White Box at the University of Oregon’s School of Architecture and Allied Arts in Portland, with a focus on new - er two-dimensional pieces and imaginative video productions. TAKESHI SHIKAMA: SILENT RESPIRATION OF FORESTS Blue Sky Gallery, Portland, Nov 3-27 After a lengthy career as a designer, - born Takeshi Shikama began photographing the forest where he was hand-building a mountain lodge from trees he felled on site. Seduced by the immanent beauty and radiant energy of the forest, Shikama pursued making prints of images captured deep in natural forested Takeshi Shikama settings. This collection of photographic prints on hand-made paper reflects an invisible reality that exists behind the visible reality in quiet, eloquent scenes with diffused light that speaks of otherworldliness. BLAKELY DADSON: WERD SCHO WIDA Chambers@916, Portland, Nov 3-Dec 23 “Things will get better again” is the translation for this exhibit title, Werd Scho Wida , a Franconian colloquialism that expresses the spirit of his new large-scale works on paper. Cyclical themes of death and resurrection, hope and destruction are depicted in dream-like psychological vignettes influenced by Albrecht Dür - er’s woodcuts Apocalypse with Pictures . The mixed-media pieces seem like illustrations for a larger narrative, one in which we only catch a Blakely Dadson glimpse of the underlying storyline and allegorical intent.

ROLL HARDY Laura Russo Gallery, Portland, Nov 3-26 Roll Hardy’s cast-off environments, abandoned spaces and industrial scenes are captured with accurate details that invite one to think about the his - tory or events that preceded the moment he is depicting, as well as the potential opportunities that could occur. The regionalist painter finds beauty in the immediacy of his chosen scenes while ambiguous settings, objects and structures present both mystery and possibility. Hardy infuses these places with a spirited interpretation that is strengthened by his highly believable painting style. Roll Hardy

PREVIEW 73 www.portlandartmuseum.org APEX: Adam Sorensen PORTLAND ART MUSEUM, PORTLAND OR – Sep 3-Jan 1, 2012 Portland Art Museum’s APEX is a dynamic exhibition program presenting a series of intimate contemporary art exhibits by actively working Northwest artists, including Adam Sorensen. Sorensen migrated to Portland in the late 1990s after gradu - ating from Alfred University, New York. In 2003, he was selected to par - ticipate in the Oregon Biennial. The six paintings featured in his part of the exhibit follow the trajectory of Sorensen’s signature reinvention of a graphic-landscape world. Sorensen’s paintings draw inspiration from many visual sources. Pop-culture influences like inform the cartoon-like sen - Adam Sorensen, Tabernacle (2011), oil on linen [Portland Art Museum, Portland OR, sibility of his rounded forms and Sep 3-Jan 1] dreamy colours, while 18th- and 19th- century woodblock prints by ukiyo-e artists from the Edo period are clearly referenced in the stylized compositions and treatment of space. Sorensen deconstructs the landscape into essential elements of water, land, glacial mass and mountains reminiscent of an untouched, uninhabited place in the natural world. His beautiful and fantastical oil paintings are smoothly rendered with a simple dimensionality resulting from the movement of repetitious forms on the picture plane that imply the illusion of volume and atmos - pheric space. Dense candy-land topographies in surreal glowing palettes emerge from the lens of a digital-era perspective. The luminous and majestic scenes like an artificial conceptualization of a once-idyllic place: a long-gone utopia where breathtaking waterfalls pay homage to landscape tradition coupled with postmodern aesthetics that fuse together the real and imagined.

As Michael Turner notes in a brilliant essay accompanying the exhibition, artwork and film producers of the 1960s had begun to question male privilege and introduce “a new and emergent female subject, one more complex and ultimately more powerful than her 1950s predecessor”. In a manner similar to de Kooning’s “Woman” series, or the less painterly but still disturbing female imagery of Francis Bacon, David Mayrs’s satirical and provocative paintings addressed sexuality and social discourse as well as a new act of painting: vir - ulent, violent (and even voluptuous) Abstract Expressionism. As with his contemporaries Ed Ruscha in Los Angeles and Andy Warhol in New York, Mayrs came from an advertising background where the role of sex was beginning to be explored. The David Mayrs, Mirror, Mirror (1966), oil on canvas [Trench lengths to which Mayrs took sexual expression in Contemporary Art, Vancouver BC, Oct 20-Nov 12] his paintings, however, was unprecedented. For the most part it remained in local art unmatched for another 20 years, when Attila Richard Lukacs showed his homoerotic nudes. Vancouver artists during that period included Ron Stonier, Joan Balzar, Audrey Capel-Doray, Paul Wong, and Geoff Rees. The Trench Gallery provides a rare opportunity to witness art - work reflecting the deep social changes of the period. Mia Johnson

Marion Llewellyn, Unidentified (2011), mixed media on wood [Bellevue Gallery, West Vancouver BC, Oct 13-Nov 12]

Marion Llewellyn’s new paintings are alarmingly simple in appearance. Quiet expanses of snow, oblique planes of steel blue, tranquil expanses of mountain, floating feathers – and among them, explosions, eruptions, ominous shadows and speeding arrows. Llewelyn is is known for her explorations of the inner landscape in a manner that is simultaneously autobiographical and conceptual. Sixty years later, in Snow Asylum , images of her heritage are emerging: finely sketched medieval goose feather quills and delicately painted references to the ancient fortresses, gates, fences and portcullis still found in Stony Stratford, England where she grew up. Capturing critical psychological moments frame by frame, Llewellyn sets up visual metaphors for her own experience with post-traumatic stress disorder. Snow Asylum explores dichotomies. Snow gives a feeling of desolation and camouflage yet can also appear as serene and comforting as a blanket. Arrows may be weapons or signs of good news; mountains may beguile or threaten. Savage titles like From the Gulag of Bearing Witness , Shock and Awe and Beyond the Wire show the intensity of the feelings behind the work. The images are as much about a journey through psychological pain as they are narratives of place. Marion Llewellyn was born and educated in the United Kingdom and graduated with honours from Manchester College of Art and Design. After working for several prestigious publishing houses and media outlets in England, she emigrated to Canada in 1974 and became a master typographer and seriographer. For almost 20 years she was a partner at Long and Llewellyn, Vancouver, an art and design company with over 300 awards in Canada and USA. Mia Johnson

Rockefeller between 1933-1978. The group of approximately eighty pieces in a broad range of materials, includes a large cross-section of artworks and cultural objects from 12 different Mexican states. On loan from the San Antonio Museum of Art, the artworks represent a comprehensive view of Mexico’s cultural heritage. A set of large-scale papier-mâché devil figures greets exhibition visitors, while paintings on tin and canvas and small wooden toy horses and caballeros (cowboys) are contrasted with religious scroll paint - ings and ceremonial objects.

Washington aLLyn cantoR KENT LOVELACE: PEREGRINATIONS Lisa Harris Gallery, Seattle, Nov 3– 27 Kent Lovelace has worked with oils on copper as his preferred medium since 1998. Transparent glaze on a metallic surface gives a deep sense of luminosity and radiant lighting for the dream-like qual - ity of his paintings. Peregrinations refers to the exploration and inspi - ration found in his physical travels at home and abroad and in the intellectual journey undertaken in the creation process. Ultimately, Kent Lovelace observation and imagination are serenely blended in Lovelace’s elo - quent subject matter. SEEING IMPRESSIONISM: EUROPE, AMERICA AND THE NORTHWEST Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture, Spokane, Oct 14-Feb 25, 2012 Impressionism emerged in late-19th-century Europe and can be traced back to Claude Monet’s 1872 Impression, Sunrise . In reaction to the traditional approach to painting, the Impressionists experi - mented with innovative approaches to paint, brushwork, subject matter and elements of light. The exhibited works by Degas, Pissar - ro, Renoir, Cassatt, Sargent, Hassam, Ingres and others form a sub - Pierre-Auguste Renoir stantive cross-section of this historically significant movement. JOANN VERBURG: INTERRUPTIONS G. Gibson Gallery, Seattle, Oct 14- Nov 19 JoAnn Verburg’s new photographs are a departure from her previously exhibited landscape-based subjects. The cityscape images on view are of the architecture and inhabitants of Spoleto, Italy; a city the nationally-recognized artist and her poet husband have visited for over 25 years. With a strong yet intimate sense of place in these works, Verburg offers an engaging visual experience for her viewers. Interruptions is also the title of a recently published book on the series available at G. Gibson Gallery. ROBERT C. JONES: RECENT WORK Francine Seders Gallery, Seattle, JoAnn Verburg Nov 4-Dec 24 Paintings by Robert C. Jones are more concerned with the structure of the figure and of the page than with rendering reality. The respected Seattle senior artist is well known for naturalistic abstractions and a process-oriented painting style. With time, his finished canvasses become a unified collection of moments visually characterized by simple curves, assured mark-making, strong linear structure, and a distinctive active palette. Paintings produced in the last three years are presented here with a small grouping of etchings and woodcuts. AN ARCHITECTURAL VIEW Prographica / fine works on paper, Seattle, Oct 29-Dec 3 The four artists in this show use elements of architec - Robert C. Jones ture in their work but do not necessarily share stylistic connections other than suggesting a human presence in their subject matter. Steve Costie’s abstractions in heavily worked graphite suggest the weightiness of buildings and Eric Elliot merges form with gesture in diffused studio interiors. Laura Hamje similarly treats the painted surface to the natural world with man-made structures while Elizabeth Ockwell’s images are of European architectural sites she has visited. Elizabeth Ockwell www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 81 www.portlandartmuseum.org/ The Artist’s Touch, The Craftsman’s Hand: Three Decades of Japanese Prints from the Portland Art Museum PORTLAND ART MUSEUM, PORTLAND, OR – Oct 1-Jan 22, 2012 The Portland Art Museum owns an extensive collection of over 2500 Japanese prints dat - ing from the late 17th century to the present day. This fall through January, the museum will mount its first major exhibition of prints selected from the per - manent collection. Some of the more historically important pieces in the exhibit were chosen from the Mary Andrews Ladd collection of 750 traditional woodblock prints which was gifted to the museum in 1932. The exhibit will also feature rare prints by iconic Ukiyo-e artists like Suzuki Harunobu, credited as the first to produce full-colour prints, and Katsushika Hokusai, known for his series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji .

a y Exhibition Catalogues of Interest TIBET: CULTURE ON THE EDGE showcases American photographer Phil Borges’s shocking and beautiful new pictures of Tibet. They reveal the rapid growth of Chi - nese development and expansion; changes in the lifestyles of the Tibetan people, including the adoption of cell phones by the nomads; the effects of climate change; and the deeply devotional practices of monks and pilgrims. Produced 15 years after Borges’s first visit to Tibet, the large-format book shares intimate por - traits and stunning panoramas of one of the most remote places on the planet. Hardcover, 208 pages, $45 CAD. Available from http://dianefarrisgallery.com/books dvds/phil-borges-books or 604-737-2629

LESLEY DILL’S POETIC VISIONS: FROM SHIMMER TO SISTER GERTRUDE MORGAN was published by the Whatcom Museum in Bellingham for their cur - rent show by New York artist Lesley Dill (on view through March 4, 2012). Known for her inventive approach to multi-disciplinary artwork, the intersection of visual art, language, sculpture and the body are central themes in Dill’s work. Curator Barbara Matilsky provides sensitive interpretations and an insightful context for Dill’s pieces, and the publication features full-colour plates represent - ing the majority of exhibited artworks. Softcover, 48 pages, $15 USD. Available from the Whatcom Museum, 360-778-8930

THROWN: BRITISH COLUMBIA’S APPRENTICES OF BERNARD LEACH AND THEIR CONTEMPORARIES was published by the Morris and Helen Belkin Gallery. The 2004 exhibition, curated by Scott Watson, included 600 pots as well as archival materials on the West Coast studio pottery movement during the 1960s. The exhibit and book position the work of BC artists in the context of an interna - tional studio movement, with emphasis on the pottery of Wayne Ngan, Michael Henry, Ian Steele, Charmian Johnson, John Reeve and Tam Irving among others. Hardcover, 304 pages, $60 CAD. Available from the Morris and Helen Belkin Gallery, UBC, 604-822-2759 or [email protected]

GABRIEL VON MAX was published to accompany the recent Frye Art Museum exhibition Gabriel von Max: Be-tailed Cousins and Phantasms of the Soul . An esteemed and controversial late-19th-century Munich Secessionist, von Max explored themes of death, natural science, and the occult in narrative paintings that are macabre yet hauntingly beautiful. This first monograph on the artist to appear in English includes essays by leading European scholars as well as Frye Director Jo-Anne Birnie Danzker, curator of the exhibition. Hardcover, 128 pages, $30 USD. Available from the Frye Art Museum, 206-432-8201 or [email protected]

ROBERT YOUNG: LACUNARIAN PICTURING was published as part of a collab - orative project involving exhibitions held at the Evergreen Cultural Centre in Coquitlam and Burnaby’s Simon Fraser University Gallery this past June. Young’s painting practice has focused on the pictorial manipulation of space in images that have been variously described as Cubist, Surrealist, collage-like, optical and perceptual structures. Curated by Astrid Heyerdahl (ECC) and Bill Jef - fries (SFU), the retrospective exhibits explored Young’s paintings and their inspi - rations from the 1970s to present. Softcover, 48 pages, $20 CAD. Available from the SFU Gallery, 778-782-4266 or [email protected] and from the Evergreen Cultural Centre, 605-927-6565 or info@ever - greenculturalcentre.ca

Sculptural objects and installations provoke fantasies and dream-oriented ideas about the anticipa - tion of travel and what can be experienced and what actually happens during travel. The artists – Janice Arnold, Margarita Cabrera, Marc Dombrosky, Erika Harrsch, Timothy Horn, Cal Lane, Walter Martin & Paloma Muñoz, and Robb Putnam – investigate the alluring notion of escape from routine in lyrical works with imaginary narratives. Their pieces are unified by an emphasis on T D

Arnold’s tent-like installation [Bellevue Arts Museum, Bellevue WA, Aug 26-Dec 31] fashioned from elegant and luxurious fabrics evokes images of exotic lands, while Horn’s fantastical carriage made of crystallized rock sugar seems like it came from an extravagant tale in a world where baroque sensibilities collide with Willy Wonka-like playfulness.
