www.artgallerycalgary.org Lynn Richardson: Inter-Glacial previewFree Trade agency.ca Diana Burgoyne: Sound Drawings ART GALLERY OF CALGARY, CALGARY AB – Apr 18-Jun 21 New works by Winnipeg-based installation artist Lynn Richardson and Vancouver electronics artist Diana Burgoyne surprise and challenge viewers in their use of materials, technologies and audience participation. A recent M.F.A. graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, Lynn Richardson has had numerous exhibitions throughout Canada, the United States, and Taiwan. Her prestigious awards include grants from the Winnipeg Arts Council, the Manitoba Arts Council and the Cana- da Council for the Arts. Richardson’s “working landscapes” incorpo- rate motors, pipelines, oil drilling stations, railways and electrical lines, and entice viewers through their integration of sound, motion and light. The current exhibition, Inter-Glacial Free Trade agency.ca consid- ers the relationship between government and corporations by posing as a trade show marketing the latest survival gear. The futuristic scene is described as a sober and environmentally aware contemplation of the impact of global warming, oil drilling in the North and of human attempts to survive and function in such a setting. “Electronic folk artist” Diana Burgoyne holds an M.F.A. from the Uni- Lynn Richardson, Ideal Collision versity of California Los Angeles, and a B.F.A. from the University of Vic- (2007), mixed media [Art Gallery of toria.

She has taught creative electronics at Emily Carr Institute since 1998. Whilst Richardson’s sculptural installations reflect darkly on technical innovation, Burgoyne’s Sound Drawings inspire playful dialogues. Relying on the audience to play active roles, the “drawings” use integrated circuits to combine recordings of gestures made by visitors and to generate personal, intimate experiences. Rather than criticizing technology, Bur- goyne’s work stimulates questions about the relationships between society, technology and environment.

www.douglasudellgallery.com Dorothy Knowles: New Work preview DOUGLAS UDELL GALLERY, EDMONTON AB – Apr 26-May 10 Dorothy Knowles is one of Canada's best-known landscape painters. Born in 1927 in Saskatchewan, she has painted prolifically for more than sixty years in a style known as the British Watercolour Technique With brief and transparent strokes of watercolour, acrylic, charcoal or oil paint, sometimes in combination, Knowles builds vigor- ous and forceful images of the prairie landscape that often have a kind of abstract calligraphy. The current exhibit shows paintings completed over the last few years and released from the her studio for the first time. Knowles has a degree in Biology and studied at the Goldsmith School of Art in London, England in 1951. A turning pointing in Knowles' career came at an Emma Lake Artists Work- Dorothy Knowles, Line of Orange AC-16-07 (2007), acrylic on canvas [Douglas shop in 1962 where the American Udell Gallery, Edmonton AB, Apr 26-May 10] critic, Clement Greenberg, encour- aged her to paint from nature and to disregard the predominance of abstraction at the time. She became an active and significant member of the Saskatchewan arts community. In 1987, Knowles was awarded the Merit of Saskatchewan and in 2004, the prestigious Order of Canada. Dorothy Knowles and her husband, artist William Perehudoff, live in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Working from her mobile art studio, she paints the landscape of the prairie from life. Her work was once described by Terrence Heath as having "an energetic patterning of colour" in full-scale paintings that "retain the freshness of sketches". In recent years she has exhibited in Toronto, Regina, Saskatoon, Edmonton and Vancouver.

www.lindalandofineart.com Jan Crawford and Sue Hetheringtonpreview LINDA LANDO FINE ART, VANCOUVER BC – Apr 24-May 3 In her acrylic painting and monotype prints, Vancouver-based artist Jan Crawford focuses on her native Okanagan region. Her distinctive subject matter has ranged from landscape and simple still life compositions, to images dealing with personal identity and environmental ethics. Her monotypes present historical views of packing plants, images of fruit and canning jars, and orchard objects like picking ladders, pails, boxes and bins. Featured in this exhibit are highly- charged, dramatic paintings of trees and windows that reveal her personal search for meaning and the role she sees the land playing in defining personal identity. Crawford studied art in Vancouver and successfully completed a Diploma in Fine arts from Langara College, a B.Ed. (Art Major) from The University of British Columbia and a B.FA. (Printmaking Major) from Emily Carr Institute. Her prints and paintings have been exhibited in public and private galleries throughout B.C. and California. She has been an active member of Malaspina Printmakers since 1986.

In 2000, she was awarded Senior status in the Canadian Institute of Portrait Artists for her figurative painting and portraiture. Her work is in collections in Canada, Europe and the U.S.A.. Her current series is inspired by the sea and sky. She writes, “They come from a sense of openness, the vastness of endless possibility and the beauty that encompasses us.” The works express her internal vision as much as her love for the physical landscape.

A gallery befitting a Haida giant On May 10, 2008 the chapel-like building that used to be the Canadian Craft Museum, will begin a new life as the Bill Reid Gallery of Northwest Coast Art and as the headquarters of the Bill Reid Foundation. This stand-alone structure is set jewel-like within the quiet cloister, behind the Shon Tower project at 639 Hornby Street. Vancouver Architect Paul Merrick designed the complex for the Hong Kong-based, Shon Georgia Investments Ltd., on the site where the Georgia Medical Dental Building was demolished in 1989. From its inception, this lovely structure has been one of Vancouver's most significant 'bonused' cultural amenities (see Preview, September 2006). Bill Reid Gallery supporters have raised a substantial sum towards the huge endowment that will ensure coverage of all essential costs (by way of interest generated by the Fund) once the City-assisted Lease is over. The Audain Foundation's $1,000,000. gift (announced in the Commercial News Services press release of March 10) is earmarked for Gallery restoration and is a great start. Money does attract money, but only if the cause seems right. Without such fulsome financial support, the Bill Reid Gallery might fade into history as did the Canadian Craft Museum, but from everything I've heard, read and seen, it seems assured that this institution will be important to Vancouver's cultural life in perpetuity. The Bill Reid Gallery of Northwest Coast Art, at 639 Hornby Street in Vancouver What will be different about the survival prospects of the Bill Reid Gallery of Northwest Coast Art? Although the previous Craft Museum had a pretty exterior, it was bypassed by many visitors and Vancouverites because the edifice could not be seen from Hornby or Georgia Street. I believe that Bill Reid's international profile is so strong that the gallery (located in the financial district) will quickly become a must-visit designation for all who wish to learn about his life, art, and contributions to the revival of First Nations Culture. Such fame is augmented by the four Reid works illustrated on the $20 bill, and the major works of sculpture sited in significant Metro Vancouver locations. When the "little church" housed the Craft Museum, the high vault of the 8,800 sq. foot interior and the narrow mezzanine were not amenable for the display of small objects. This Temple to a Teapot could not have been designed more inappropriately. The transformation of an awkward, empty chamber into a multi-purpose, flexible exhibition and events venue, has been on-going for months and will so continue. (See websites: billreidgallery.ca/ and: billreidfoundation.org/) The edifice perched high above Christ Church Cathedral and down the way from the Vancouver Fairmont Hotel and the Vancouver Art Gallery, will soon be a secret no more. It's now the haven of the Raven's Trove of gold and silver jewellery and Reid's gigantic Mystic Messengers frieze – a suitable gift to the Foundation from Bell Canada Enterprises which is in the business of communication.

SCOTT GALLERY, EMILY CARR INSTITUTE, VANCOUVER BC – Mar 12-Apr 20 Vancouver- based artist Elspeth Pratt employs simple building and household materials to engage complex ideas about architecture and the social use of urban space. Through her choice of such discarded and scav- enged materials as corrugated cardboard, textured vinyl cloth, carpet, insulation and Formica, Pratt seeks to question ideas of value and permanence associated with traditional sculpture. In Nonetheless, her references range from architects Shigeru Ban and Le Corbusier, to the temporary cardboard shacks in Brazil known as favelas. Her inventive shapes and materials underscore the costly and wasteful building practices of wealthy nations. She also borrows from the 20th century formal vocabularies associated with constructivist and post-minimalist sculpture to address the line between abstraction and representation. Elspeth Pratt has been exhibiting since 1983. She has had numerous solo shows including the Contemporary Art Gallery, YYZ in Toronto and the Southern Alberta Art Gallery. She has exhibited in group shows in Canada, Japan, Australia, Taiwan, and Italy. Among these are Weak Thought at the Vancouver Art Gallery, Architettura: Astriazione in Rome, and Contingent: Eva Hesse, Elspeth Pratt, and Martha Townsend at the Dunlop Art Gallery.

Valley”. www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 37 www.stride.ab.ca Vessna Perunovich: Borderlesspreview THE STRIDE ART GALLERY, CALGARY AB – Apr 4-May 10 Vessna Perunovich is a Toronto-based visual artist from the former Yugoslavia, with both a B.F.A.and M.F.A. from the University of Belgrade, who expresses herself through a variety of media. Her idiosyncratic artwork, from sculpture and painting to video installation and performance art, is highly personal and dramatic. A sense of tension is constant. Her sculptural installations, videos and performances address her own experiences with immigration and dislocation. Recently she travelled to England, Portugal, Italy and Cuba with her performance piece Transitory Places, which explores notions of home, a sense of belonging, the utopian dream of a perfect place, and ultimate disillusion in the pursuit of that ideal. Borderless consists of a wall installation, video projection and works on paper, all relating to themes of exclusion, displacement of human spirit, and the bridging of social, political, and cultural barriers between people. One of her principal themes is described as "social silence and its disruption by knowledge". Through her art, she seeks to speak on behalf of exiles everywhere. Perunovich's work was shown at the 8th Havana Biennial in Havana, Cuba, the Second Tirana Biennial in Tirana, Albania, the Xll International Art Biennial of Cerveira in Portugal, the lV Cetinje Biennial in Vessna Perunovich, Soul Searching (2006), wall installation Yugoslavia, the Vl Vrsac Biennial in Serbia & [The Stride Art Gallery, Calgary AB, Apr 4-May 10] Montenegro, and at the ARTiade 2004 in Athens, Greece. In Canada, her work has been reviewed in World Sculpture Magazine, Canadian Art, Espace Sculpture, Flash Art, Vie des Arts, Mix Magazine, C Magazine, the Globe and Mail, and Border Crossings.

Koenig had over 200 solo shows internationally throughout his prolific career. His life's journey was similarly rich. Koenig frequently travelled to then-foreign places like Japan, Africa and the Middle East. He embraced such principles as shibui, a Japanese word referring to simple, subtle and unobtrusive beauty. He also applied the spirit of Bauhaus to his artwork, writing, conversation and gardening. Koenig settled in Paris after WWII before return- ing to the Pacific Northwest. In 1979. His experiences and injuries in the war taught him about the fragility of life and affected his very personal approach to artmaking. Although Koenig was known mostly for his large-scale paintings and lyrical abstractions, his artistic experimentation led him to work with other media like collage, print- PHOTO: CLAIRE KOENIG, COURTESY OF THE ARTIST making, glass work, photography, fabric design, sculpture, ceramics and jewellery. Koenig began splitting his time between France and Seattle in the early 1980s. His work con- sistently retained such elements familiar to the Northwest region as soft iridescent light and dramatic skies. As an artist Koenig was relatively autonomous. The retrospective highlights Koenig's approach to art, where the journey was more important than the goal, and where boundaries between art and life dissolved. Covering 50 years of his career, this survey includes glimpses into Koenig's studio, works in progress, sketches, quotes and documentation.

Chapter 14. A Case of being: under the table with Thomas Anfield The work had came up for auction upon the demise of the original owner, who was an important, well respected supporter and collector of Thomas Anfield's work. My client had purchased the painting and I was engaged to facilitate the appraisal for insurance purposes. Generally speaking, replacement cost, used to determine value for insurance purposes, the amount of money the client would need to replace the picture with a painting of similar size, medium and subject matter by the same artist. On the back of the canvas in bold black lettering are the words “Me Under the Table”, and the artist's signature, “Anfield” appears on the front, lower centre. The title of the work, Me Under the Table derives from memories of childhood when as the young Anfield was fond of sitting under the family dining room table. Suggestions of table legs, floor Thomas Anfield, Me Under the Table, acrylic on canvas surfaces, carpet, tablecloth and a loaf of bread form (c. 1995), 43 × 43 inches, signed “Anfield ” front, lower an illusionary space which invites the viewer to centre enter this voyeuristic other-world. The placement of a central image of a stylized table leg may allude to a spiritual component as suggested by a crucifixion tableau. The work references those recollections and in a more universal sense, suggests a whimsical association to "being under the table”j as in “I could drink you under the table”. The piece could also be read as a visual metaphor for the constant struggle artists in our present day society contend with in an effort to secure their daily bread – which is often above and perhaps just out of their reach. In a conversation with the artist, Anfield mentioned that he viewed this piece as a very important precursor to his latest body of work, Paintings From the Invisible University, as it engaged some of the issues he is presently addressing, particularly those relating to memory and emotion. In Mexico, Anfield had participated in several mural projects and was very impressed and influenced by the use of textures in the work of Mexican muralists, especially Rufino Tamayo. This work is from the mid-1990s and the image size is approximately 43 x 43 inches. It is of acrylic on canvas with a textured ground created by adding sawdust into the middle layer of gesso. Gesso is the white primer used to prepare the canvas surface to receive and to separate the paint layer from the canvas to prevent the oils in oil-based paint from percolating into the canvas and eventually causing deterioration. It is also used to prime the canvas to receive an acrylic paint layer, however, due to the benign chemical composition of the binder (Rhoplex) used in acrylics, its separation properties are not as critical as in oil-based paints. The addition of sawdust not only creates a textured ground but also reduces the reflective properties of the gesso by trapping more reflective light in the gesso layer, and thus helps to create the suggestion of a mural on a cementicious ground. Anfield's clever use of colour further helps to create the ‘presence’ of a mural. Next issue: The Case of being at the End of the Storm with Loren Adams.

The resulting images are blown up from 35 mm negatives to large-scale prints that emphasize the film grain and invite compar- isons to painting. The size of the photographs is determined by a sense of real-life viewing distance.

Pearson’s works portray individuals and groups of people in semi-public and transient venues such as bars, diners or hotels. His paintings are often close to monochromatic with off-key bursts of colour, and his use of patterning – words, palm trees, architectural features, and other symbols – is an important feature of the compositions. Through the use of a deliberately crude drawing style, Pearson seeks to give his work a direct and earthy character. His videos have a similar painterly style and visual appearance. The End is My Beginning features several recent works, a selection from his 2005 Greenville series (inspired in part by the songs of Lucinda Williams), a group Gary Pearson, Please Don’t Smoke During the Concert (1999), of earlier drawings and two videos.

Gary Pearson is an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies at the University of British Columbia Okanagan in Kelow- na. He received his M.A. from the University of Saskatchewan and his B.F.A. from the University of Victoria. Pearson is an interdisciplinary artist who works primarily in painting and video. He has been exhibiting internationally since 1983. His work in video includes experimental and documentary genres. He is also an author who has written for several art journals including Border Crossings and Sculpture Magazine.

In some of the finest and most self-assured painting in Vancouver, Harrison plumbs the essence of blood-red and labia-pink flowers in dripping and tumbling compositions of blossoms and buds. Her search for what she describes as “the pain and passion… the struggle and the ultimate surrender...of our own exis- tence” is palpable, as if she has plunged her hands into the darkness of entrails and wrenched flowers forward onto the picture plane. Harrison paints primarily in oil on canvas, sometimes with acrylic under-painting or touches of beeswax, tar and gold powder. The paintings in the exhibit range from 18 inches to five feet. While earlier works featured single blossoms or isolated florals on dark backgrounds, the new paintings are lively fields of impressionist flowers in all stages of growth and disintegration. Forms “begin to lose their edges, mirroring her belief that there is no real separation, only the veils of our limited awareness”. Sonorous Gabryel Harrison, Flowers of Avernus (2008), oil and and fiery, they simultaneously arouse feelings of mortality mixed media [Jacana Gallery, Vancouver BC, May 3-25] and hope. Harrison has numerous educational credits, including two years at the Vancouver Academy of Art, a diploma in Art Therapy, B.A. in Fine Arts (1983) from Ottawa University, a year at Toronto’s Ryerson Photographic Arts, and two years’ in liberal arts at the University of Victoria, B.C. Her studies of botanical forms and painting techniques have fused in a highly idiosyncratic and fascinating personal style. Mia Johnson

The exhibit includes finely carved bowls, paddles and a remarkable selection of bark cloth paintings from Lake Sentani. The collection represents several ethnic groups of western New Guinea: the Sentani and North Coast groups near Jayapura; the Asmat and Kamoro of the south coast between Agats and Timika; and the Biak-Yapen-Manokwari peoples, distributed around Cen- derawasih Bay. Each group has a unique style of design that has developed independently and reflects distinctions in cultures and world views. The tribespeople of West Papua live in an area of lush lowland rain forests and glacier-capped peaks on the western side of the Island of New Guinea, now knoiwn as Wet Papua, populated by Bark cloth Painting with Fish Spirit Design strange marsupials such as wallabies, tree kangaroos, cus-cus and (1995), Vin Kreu (Nafri, North Coast, spiny anteaters.

A revival of traditional designs on bark cloth as well as carved items took place in the early 1990s through the initiative of several local artists. Many everyday objects like food dishes, canoes and adze handles, as well as cer- emonial items such as drums and staffs, are now decorated with designs that reflect life in the low- lands by the sea.

In response to the critical commentary of each narrator, "David’s" appearance on each screen changes accordingly. Simultaneously extremely funny and acerbic, the videos examine the complex and gendered relationship between a work of art and critical commentary. Morris created The Birthday Boy for the Galleria dell' Accademia in Florence for David’s 500-year anniversary in 2004. It was subsequently shown at the Louvre in 2007. The piece expands on the kinds of the- oretical concerns Morris commonly addresses in his artwork — the nature of perception, concepts of mate- riality, use of space and the process of artmaking. It also extends his work with notions of replication, photo- montage and lip-synching since the early 1960s. Robert Morris was born in 1931 and is one of the most influential artists of the 20th Century. A pioneer of minimalist sculpture, process art and earthworks, Morris has also produced dance and performance Robert Morris, still from The Birthday Boy (2004), dual- pieces, prints, paintings, drawings, videos, films and screen projection, 35 mins.

64 PREVIEW ■ APRIL/MAY 2008 Conservator’s Corner BY CHERYLE HARRISON [email protected] Malaspina Mural, an Update

Nearly twelve years have elapsed since the emergency removal of five large murals was undertaken prior to the demolition of the historic waterfront Malaspina Hotel in Nanaimo, British Columbia. The representative piece of this collection of rescued murals, Captain Malaspina Sketching the Galleries of Gabriola, was painted in 1938, by the renowned artist, Edward J. Hughes. This large mural depicts a number of figures gathered along a shoreline to study naturally formed sandstone galleries. Due to the size of the mural, 2.75 × 5.2 x .216 metres (9 × 17 × 0.71 feet), and to other considerations, this mural was removed from the hotel in sections, weighing nearly 20,000 lbs. After many unsuccessful attempts to display this culturally significant mural, an ideal project Conservator Cheryle Harrison, and concrete specialist Rory Le site at the newly constructed Nanaimo Brocq, at the conservation worksite. Conference Centre, along with adequate public art funding, and the enthusiastic support of the City of Nanaimo, presented itself. Still, it required public outcry, national radio coverage, newspaper articles, and declarations submitted by respected art historians, collectors, cultural groups, plus, two city council meetings, to achieve approval for the mural's conservation and installation into its new home. This mural project combines the expertise of two specialists: myself as the conservator and concrete structural expert, Rory Le Brocq, of Cancor Cutting. The conservation and preparation of this mural for its installation into the Conference Centre is presently underway. The conservation treatment includes the repair of pre-existing nail holes, structural cracks, paint loss, damage from an earlier boiler explosion, and the results of years of use, environment, and age. Additional repairs are required as the mural sections were moved and stored in a number of locations, and were subjected to freezing temperatures and wet conditions. After conservation is completed, the murals will be secured within a custom metal framework and hanging armature, followed by installation at the Conference Centre site. E.J.

NEXT ISSUE: The Collaborative Emily Carr Project www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 65 www.cristallgallery.com Eric Deis and Jeremy Isao Speier:Salvagepreview ELISSA CRISTALL GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Apr 4-26 Salvage is an exhibition of photography and kinetic sculpture by Vancouver artists Eric Deis and Jeremy Isao Speier. In two distinct styles and media, they examine themes of urban living. Eric Deis, recipient of the 2007 Visual Art Development Award from the Vancouver Foundation, is known for his work in photography, video art, installation art, sculpture and digital art. His contemporary landscape photography depicts gritty street level debris as well as surreal panoramas of the Vancouver Downtown Eastside shot from vantage points far above the city. Deis’ large-scale photographs immerse the viewer in vivid vistas of colour and fine detail. He is a graduate of the University of California, San Diego (M.F.A.) and Emily Carr Institute, Vancouver, where he currently is an Adjunct Professor of Photography. His work has been exhibited in Canada, Denmark, Germany, Mexico, Ser- bia, Sweden, and the United States of America.

66 PREVIEW ■ APRIL/MAY 2008 Exhibition Catalogues of Interest TRUTH BEAUTY: PICTORIALISM AND THE PHOTOGRAPH AS ART, 1845-1945 is described as "a major retrospective of masterworks from photography's Golden Age". Published by Douglas & McIntyre for an exhibition at the Van- couver Art Gallery February 2-April 17, 2008, the 160-page hardcover book showcases the era of Pictorialism, when photographers sought painterly, atmospheric treatments of their subjects. 121 colour photographs trace the movement and its impact on art history. Hardcover, 160 pages, $60 CDN. Available from the Vancouver Art Gallery Store, Vancouver BC, 604-662-4706.

MONT ST MICHEL comes enclosed in an elegant black case. This impressive hardcover contains 64 photographs of the legendary island and church located off the North coast of France. Michael Kenna's exquisite black-and-white photographs reveal his quiet explorations of the famous landmark and the dramatic seas and skies surrounding it. The book combines gorgeous wide- angle shots taken from the distance with macro views of its ancient, mysteri- ous walls and walkways. Hardcover, 64 pages, $75 USD. Available from G. Gibson Gallery, Seattle WA, 206-587-4033 or email [email protected].

THE DATING PORTFOLIO is a series of 15 ironic photographs of dating rituals as staged by Vancouver artist Susan Bozic. With a store-style mannequin named Carl as her beau, the fortuitously attractive artist poses herself in a series of stereotypical date scenes and completes them with tongue-in-cheek titles. The witty fictional scenes mirror the overwhelming proliferation of con- sumer advertising used to sell popular culture and glamour. Softcover, 64 pages, $20 CDN. Available from the Simon Fraser University Gallery, Burnaby BC, 778-782-4266.

J.C. HEYWOOD: A LIFE IN LAYERS by Geraldine Davis, with an essay by Linda Belshaw Beatty, was published for the artist's 2008 travelling retrospective. J.

Motion Studies investigates parallels between art and science through a collaboration with University of Portland biology professor Bret Tobalske. Tobalske's research into the physics of bird flight helped generate much of the moving imagery that D'Agostino utilizes in her new work. Footage formulated by using Dr. Tobalske's fluid imaging system, known as a digital parti- cle image velocimetry, examines the structure and momentum of flying birds. D'Agostino's video translation reveals a non-literal exploration of bodily flight that she describes as an "otherness" of wild creatures. She animates the gallery space by projecting the videos sequences onto wing-like sculptures, created

Additional layers of footage, including bird mating dances and scenes of migration, were shot in collaboration with cinematographer Harry Dawson on location in Portland. In a second installation of blown-glass forms created with Carl Weiss of Tosoh Quartz in Beaverton, Oregon, D'Agostino explores notions of fluid dynamics which is the study of liquids and gases in motion. She simultaneously draws on European glass-blowing traditions for making scientific instru- ments and on samples of Renaissance studies of fluids in motion. D'Agostino's work reveals that the same set of equations govern the physics of birds in flight, the formations of galaxies, river and ocean currents, as well as a myriad of other natural phenomena. It is this inherent connectivity among larger systems that she seeks to evoke in her concurrent installations. Allyn Cantor

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 69 www.guestroomgallery.com Maude Kerns preview GUESTROOM GALLERY & KATAYAMA FRAMING, PORTLAND OR – Mar 14-Apr 26 Curated by Bill Rhoades, Maude Kerns is a major survey of Kerns' life work. It includes nearly eighty pieces shown in two Portland locations. The exhibit at Guestroom Gallery focusses on prints and smaller paintings, while the exhibit at Katayama Framing features Kerns' larger oils. This is the first time in fifteen years that Kerns' work has been exhibited in Portland. Maude Kerns (1876-1965) was ahead of her time as the first West Coast female artist to practice principles of nonob- jective art. Considered to be a pioneer of modern painting in the Pacific Northwest, Kerns worked in a style that closely paralleled innovations in New York modernism during the 1940s. Kerns' avant-garde paintings encompassed elements of abstract expressionism while conventional styles were still favoured in the Northwest. Her travels to Asia and Europe (where she was exposed to the works of Wassily Kandinsky, Piet Mondrian and Paul Klee), influenced her style. In particular, she embraced the art-as-spiritual-expression philos- ophy of Kandinsky. She also studied under notables such as Maude Kerns, The Enigma (1962), oil on canvas Hans Hofmann and Rolph Scarlett. Her energetic works and [Guestroom Gallery and Katayama Framing, international exhibiting record earned her a greater reputa- Portland OR, Mar 14-Apr 26] tion in New York than in her native Portland, Oregon. Today, Kerns is also remembered for her contributions as an extraordinary teacher and generous benefactor at the University of Oregon (where she taught from 1921-1947), and for her work as as founder of the Eugene Art Center which is was re-named the Maude Kerns Art Center.

72 PREVIEW ■ APRIL/MAY 2008 ★ OPEN LATE ON FIRST THURSDAYS www.henryart.org Josiah McElheny:The Last Scatteringpreview Surface HENRY ART GALLERY, SEATTLE WA – Apr 5-Jul 13 Josiah McElheny’s work injects the formal and technical sophistication of studio glass into the realm of conceptual art. His masterfully crafted pieces have often worked with the reflective elements of sculpture in reflective spaces. The Last Scattering Surface, McElheny’s latest installation at the Henry Art Gallery, is a ten-foot floating spherical work in glass, metal and electric lights that evokes the Big Bang theory. Utilizing the language of mid-1960’s industrial design, McEl- heny is interested in the legacy of 20th century modernism and the crucial point in history where a singular, linear notion of history gave way to pluralism and a multitude of narratives. The Last Scattering Surface is a scientific term used to describe a moment when the universe transitioned from opaque to transparent, and when light particles that composed all space and matter began to disperse.

The exhibit also includes a number of concept drawings as well as McElheny’s first film, shot on location at the Metropolitan Opera House, featuring the Lobmeyr Chandeliers which were commissioned shortly after the confirmation of the Big Bang to have a “galactic appearance.” McElheny received a MacArthur Fellowship in 2006. He has exhibited internationally and his work is included in numerous prominent collections such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Tate Modern in London. Allyn Cantor

PREVIEW 79 www.bellevuearts.org Mandy Greer:Dare alla Luce preview BELLEVUE ARTS MUSEUM, BELLEVUE WA – May 6-Aug 3 In Mandy Greer's ambitious new room- size installation, Dare alla Luce, the Seattle-based artist re-invents through a canopy of thrift-store materials, an imitation of Jacopo Tintoretto's painting, The Origin of the Milky Way. The 16th Cen- tury painting depicts the infant Hercules being held to the breast of sleeping Juno by Jupiter who wishes to immortalize the infant. Greer's title, Dare alla Luce, is Italian for “to give to the light” and is suggestive of the process of giving birth. Juno's awakening and rejection of the child caused milk to spurt upward to form the Milky Way and downward to create lilies. Greer distills this elusive narrative into an archetypal tale that embodies the collective experience. Featured as part of a larger selection of works from the last decade, Dare alla Luce is Greer's most detailed and largest artwork to date. In the theatrical installation, she has created a chande- lier-like forest of vines, branches and leaves. Hundreds of yards of braided, beaded, knitted and stitched forms drape from the ascending height of the exhibit space. Glass blobs are crocheted into the greenery like lavish fruits. A blackbird with spread wings, perched on a black beaded branch, symbolizes the night-time sky. Milk and stars spill from the beak while the bird's tail becomes earthly flora. The dili- gence of Greer's process and scale is coupled with the organic intricacies and sensuality of her chosen material. Mandy Greer is a sculptor and mixed-media installation artist with an M.F.A. in ceramics from the Uni- versity of Washington, where she held a Jacob K.
