10 PREVIEW I SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2015 VIGNETTES • September/October 2015 Alberta ROBIN LAuReNCe HERE AND THERE Alberta Craft Council Gallery, Edmonton, Jul 11- Oct 3 This group show spotlights 17 Alberta Craft Council artists who have not only enjoyed success at home but also developed their careers internationally. One of the criteria here is that the work on view has been either produced abroad or influenced by knowledge Dirk van Wyk and experience gleaned from abroad. Among the contemporary and heritage crafts on display are Dirk van Wyk’s banner of handmade paper stitched with polyester thread, Tyler Rock’s surreal glass sculp - ture, and Dawn Deterando’s ceramic “pie.” SEAN CAULFIELD Alberta Printmakers Gallery and Studio (Art Com - mons +15 Window), Calgary, Aug 15-Sep 26 Through his installa - tion of large-scale woodblock prints, Sean Caulfield contin ues his Sean Caulfield interest in “blurring the boundaries between the biological and the technological, the organic and the mechanical.” His images feature hybrid forms that investigate ideas of mutation, metamorphosis and the ways our understanding of science shape the ways we rep - resent our world. Caulfield’s embrace of the woodblock also evokes the medium’s long history and its association with early examples of medical and scientific illustration. KATIE OHE: ETHOS, NOW AND THEN Herringer Kiss Gallery, Calgary, Oct 15-Nov 14 A pioneer of abstract sculpture in Alberta, Katie Ohe is best known for her kinetic and interactive public art in welded steel. Her organic and geometric forms arise, she says, from everyday experience that serves as a “doorway” for personal expression. Among the works on view are her critically acclaimed Katie Ohe series Sculpture Prayer and a new series of kinetic, floor sculptures titled The Chuckles . Remarkably, given her distinguished history as an influential senior artist and teacher, this is Ohe’s first exhibi - tion in a commercial gallery. JOHN CHALKE: SURFACE TENSION Nickle Galleries, Calgary, Oct 15- Dec 19 A beloved ceramicist and teacher, the late John Chalke was born in England in 1940 and arrived in Canada in 1968. Originally influenced by the pottery traditions of Japan and Korea, he later responded to the southwestern Albertan landscape with hand-built sculptures that he called “clay paintings” sculptures. His experi - ments with form, colour and texture have an almost archaeological character, suggesting excavations through layers of history and cul - ture. As he once wrote, “My interest has remained inconveniently John Chalke multi-faceted in most things ceramic.” LESLIE POOLE: LANDSCAPE UP CLOSE Scott Gallery, Edmonton, Oct 17-Nov 7 Over the decades, West Coast painter Leslie Poole has exercised his representational practice across a range of gen - res, including still life, self-portraiture and landscape. The latter has compelled him again and again, even as his focus has changed from distant wilderness views to close-ups of individual landscape elements. Working from photographs, he paints iso - lated aspects of tree trunks, foliage and “ephemeral jigsaw shapes of sky” as seen through branches. Leslie Poole preview-art.com PREVIEW 11 saag.ca Chris Cran: Inherent Virtue SOUTHERN ALBERTA ART GALLERY, LETHBRIDGE AB – Sep 26-Nov 22, 2015 In a 1999 New York Times article, Kathryn Shattuck relates an anecdote in which Christian Eckert compares the career of Chris Cran with that of the legendary German artist Gerhard Richter. In recognition of the comparison, Shattuck declares the Calgary-based Cran to be “nearly there.” How appropriate, then, that in his first exhibition at the SAAG since 1987’s Inherent Vice , the self-effacing Cran should include a painting entitled Almost There . Although Cran’s paintings have expanded in form and content since the figurative “boys’ stories” realism of Inherent Vice , humour remains a unifying element in canvases that employ Op, Pop and Photorealism; the petite genres of portraiture, still life and landscape; and, as always, the problem of representation. On this last topic, Cran is most serious, for it is the viewer who is responsible for “filling in the gap between ludicrous proposition and apparent fact.” In conjunction with Inherent Virtue is Chris Cran: Sincerely Yours/ Chris Cran, Mirror (2014), acrylic on board [Southern Alberta Art Gallery, Lethbridge sincerèment vôtre at the Art Gallery of AB, Sep 26-Nov 22] Alberta (Sep 12–Jan 3).

saag.ca Petra Malá Miller: Portraits in Light SOUTHERN ALBERTA ART GALLERY, LETHBRIDGE AB – Sep 26-Nov 22, 2015 Born in the former Czecho - slovakia and raised in the southern Moravian village of Blatnice, Petra Malá Miller came to Canada after completing an MFA at Prague’s Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in 2008. Now a resident of Lethbridge, her photo-based practice continues to mine “the poetics of childhood, of innocence, aging, mem - ory and loss and raises questions sur - rounding cultural identity, the individ - ual, the family and the community.” Like that of the noted German sculptor Martin Honert, much of Miller’s work is drawn from her earli - est experiences. Unlike Honert, how - ever, who constructs his memories three- dimensionally for the gallery cube, Miller has her pictures share space within a photographically staged present – a method that “filters experi - ences, memories and reveries through Petra Malá Miller, Portrait in Light: Annie (2013-15), digital photograph, inkjet print an emotional process of recollection [Southern Alberta Art Gallery, Lethbridge AB, Sep 26-Nov 22 ] and translation.” For her current exhibition, Miller focuses on “the intersection between the real and the imaginary, between truth and fiction, memory and forgetting.” As is often the case with her pictures, the viewer is treated to a range of technical processes, some of which occur inside the camera and all of which owe something to the contingencies of artificial and natural light.

whatcommuseum.org Unhinged: Book Art on the Cutting Edge WHATCOM MUSEUM, BELLINGHAM WA – Sep 27,2015-Jan 3 , 2016 This diverse exhibit of over 60 artists working in the field of book art is a complex and comprehensive view of the book as an artistic medium. The survey highlights the medium’s potential with an international roster that includes artists from Australia, Great Britain, Canada and the U.S. With the rise of digital media, the importance of physical books for commu - nication and knowledge has drastically changed. Yet artists have long used the altered book as a new means of expres - sion. This exhibition encapsulates the varied ways in which books have launched methods of artistic practice.

Mixed-media pieces combine book pages with natural and fabricated materials, and involve extreme altering such as carving, drilling, grinding and disassembling, which pushes the book medium into the sculptural realm. Artworks inti - mate in scale, as well as larger installations, provide a fascinating glimpse into the physicality of books and their power as a vessel for communication. Veteran artists Doug Beube and Ann Hamilton are included, along with several Washington State artists and those renowned in the field, such as Guy Laramée, Long-bin Chen and Brian Dettmer.

He is also the Seth maker of model buildings, which he has assembled into an instal - lation representing the fictional city Dominion. Dominion con - flates aspects of several small Canadian cities in the mid-20th century as it examines civic politics, business, development, boos - terism and social engagement – all with Seth’s characteristic blend of cynicism and nostalgia.
SILVA: O HORIZON Nanaimo Art Gallery, Nanaimo, Sep 4-Oct 31 Sil - va , the scientific name for the forest floor, is also the name of an ambitious project that includes two exhibitions, a publication and a series of artist talks, tours, readings and performances. The first Duane Linklater of its two exhibitions, O Horizon , uses large-scale sculptural installations to reflect on holistic ecosystems and the relationship between language, culture and the natural environment. Site-spe - cific works by Duane Linklater, Gareth Moore, Kika Thorne and Elias Wakan employ a range of materials, from natural to manu - factured.
RECEIPT Hot Art Wet City, Vancouver, Sep 10-25 This happily low- brow gallery declares its interest in art that is “fun, weird and accessible.” HAWC’s exhibition, Receipt, takes that playful man - date and seriously runs with it, addressing our society’s ever- Jeff Wilson expanding expenditures on food, booze and drugs. Included with each work in this group show is a receipt for a meal out or a week - end bender, shining a spotlight on the gap between what we value as having lasting importance (art) and what we spend our money on (ephemeral pleasures and sensations). RYAN GANDER Contemporary Art Gallery, Vancouver, Sep 11-Nov 1 If it’s difficult to get a bead on what UK artist Ryan Gander does; that may be because his practice is so diverse. His media range from photography, film, installation, drawing and performance to paperweights, maps and custom-designed sportswear. Subtitled Ryan Gander “Make every show like it’s your last,” this CAG show of Gander’s work features an off-site poster project, a video work and sculp - tures incorporating elements of both playfulness and intellectual rigour. JOHN HALL AND ALEXANDRA HAESEKER: PENDULUM/PENDULA Touchstones Nelson, Nelson, Sep 12-Nov 15 Realist artists John Hall and Alexandra Haeseker both work from photographs, and have spent prolonged periods of time in Mexico. Between 1992 and 1998, they collaborated in the production of a series of paint - ings exploring contemporary Mexican culture, drawing on ele - ments of that country’s festivals, marketplaces and pre- Columbian and folk art. Their surreal compositions convey the John Hall and Alexandra Haeseker contrasts of life and death, beauty and grotesquerie, peacefulness and violence, all of which exist side by side in Mexico.

British Columbia COLIN GRAHAM: SELECTED WORKS Petley-Jones Gallery, Van - couver, Sep 17-Oct 1 After a distinguished career in arts adminis - tration, including the directorship of the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria from 1951 to 1973, the late Colin Graham began to make art. He took up painting and became a member of the Lim - Colin Graham ners, a distinguished painters group whose members included Maxwell Bates, Richard Ciccimarra and others. This exhibition focuses on the appealing landscapes Graham created in an under - stated, post-Impressionist style. REALM OF POSSIBILITIES Chinese Cultural Centre Museum, Vancouver, Sep 19-Oct 25 This three-person exhibition explores shifting ways of addressing the meaning of life, the nature of emotion and our interface with the natural world. Wai Yee Chiu uses Chinese watercolour in roundel format, sometimes covering her imagery with resin, to convey passing seasons. Hailien Tam challenges our perceptions with her close-up colour photographs Wai Yee Chiu of natural forms such as fruits and mushrooms. Synn Kune Loh creates painting installations that juxtapose human experience with the vastness of the cosmos. JAY SENETCHKO: THE BEST OF LIFE Burrard Arts Foundation, Van - couver, Sep 24-Oct 31 Working from photographs found in Life magazines from the 1960s, Jay Senetchko has created figurative paintings and collages that pose questions about memory, nostalgia and “the pathological nature of the North American dream.” Many of his reconfigured images depict enigmatic and unsettling situa - Jay Senetchko tions that challenge facile interpretation. He asks us to consider the persistence of war, drugs, racial tension, the nuclear family and dis - sembling politicians, from the mid-20th century to the present day. ELI ZABETH D’AGOSTINO: MAKESHIFT Kelowna Art Gallery, Kelowna, Sep 26-Jan 10 The Toronto-based Elizabeth D’Agosti - no is an educator, arts administrator and accomplished printmak - er. In this exhibition, she wraps the KAG’s Reynolds Gallery with prints that encompass a range of techniques, such as etching, serigraphy and collage. Her installation, which also includes sculptures created out of paper clay and printed Japanese paper, explores themes and forms derived from the natural world. A fic - Elizabeth D’Agostino tional narrative is woven through the work’s alternately similar and disparate elements. ALEX MORRISON Burnaby Art Gallery, Burnaby, Sep 4-Nov 8, and SFU Art Gallery, Burnaby, Sep 5-Dec 11 This duo-venue exhibition, titled Phantoms of a Utopian Will/Like Most Follies, More Than a Joke and More Than a Whim , presents new and recent work by Canadian artist Alex Morrison. Morrison investigates built environments as they reflect the social conditions that bring them into being and inflect their eventual use. His newly commissioned installations at the BAG and SFU respond to their widely diverse architectural set - tings – the Arts and Crafts mansion and the Arthur Erickson- designed Modernist university complex, respectively. Alex Morrison preview-art.com PREVIEW 25 robertlyndsgallery.com JG Mair: Utopian Dystopia ROBERT LYNDS GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Sep 10-Oct 10 , 2015 Coined by Thomas More in 1516 to describe an imaginary Atlantic Ocean society, the word “utopi a” has remained in the lexicon and is used to denote a desire for, and the mainte - nance of, an ideal place or situation. So pres - ent is this word in our culture that it has spawned an antonym – “dystopia” – to describe a frightening and undesirable place. Taken together (as an exhibition title), one can only imagine how perfectly nasty things can be. JG Mair has, for some time now, combined digital and traditional media to pursue “themes of control and the management of information, data and resources” in the pro - duction of his work. His current exhibition features a range of objects and materials, from machine-shredded documents to layered paint to terracotta flower pots, presented in an eerily minimalistic setting. What is not materi - ally present – fear – is represented through JG Mair, Dystopian Vessel: Plant Pot (Helianthus) (2015), mixed suggestion. media [Robert Lynds Gallery, Vancouver BC, Sep 10-Oct 10] Never one to leave things on the downer side, Mair opens up an especially generous space for misery’s enemy – humour. We see this in his upended yet still operational flower pot, but we also sense it in the darkness that is humour’s home away from home. Michael Turner

And because two of his major works – the 2.4 metre (8-foot), semi-abstract marble carvings Three Carrara are now permanently on display in VanDusen Botanical Gardens, joining Three Forms , carved onsite during the 1975 Vancouver International Stone Sculpture Sympo - sium – he is a little closer to getting his wish. As his friend and biographer, I am delighted that people having a light lunch at the garden’s café can marvel at the newly installed Three Carrara and perhaps wonder who carved it and how it got there. These two Marshall sculptures are still the only ones the public can admire in Vancouver. For more of Mar - shall’s work, they have to cross the border and go to Bellingham. Marshall (1928–2006) was born on a farm in Alberta, grew up in Toronto and arrived in Vancouver in the win - ter of 1948, penniless but determined to become an artist. He went on to become a founding member of the Sculptors’ Society of British Columbia, forming lifelong friendships with other Vancouver sculptors, such as Elek Y H P
A Imredy, Peter Paul Ochs and Gerhard Class. His life was R G O T
O about obsessively serving his muse in stone, ceramic, H P
D L I
H wood and bronze, but he always felt that the Vancouver C R I A F
N public really didn’t care about his work. A D David Marshall, Three Carrara , 1997-98, Carrara marble, Beginning in 1990, he carved Three Carrara at Capi - 2.4 m (8 ft) high, VanDusen Botanical Gardens, Vancouver BC lano College (now Capilano University), after retiring from several decades of teaching there. For two years, he and his assistant, German Galdamez from El Salvador, carved and polished the white stone. Marshall only briefly commented on the third piece, reminiscent of a whale, calling it “an animal figure.” The other two pieces are highly stylized, one angular, the other rounded. Together, they reprise recurring themes in Marshall’s work: relationships between man, woman and Nature. When I wrote The Life and Art of David Marshall , the first book in the acclaimed series Unheralded Artists of BC , I knew Marshall considered touch the key to sculpture’s power to communicate in a pre- verbal, visceral manner. He felt that the secret to experiencing sculpture is sensual as well as visual and intellectual. “You can fool the eye, but not the hand,” he used to say. Marshall admired the Inuit, who carved some of their work specifically for the sense of touch, the first sense humans develop in the womb. He saw the Inuit integration of art into everyday life as the ideal. But Marshall was no Inuit carver; he spent most of his life doggedly pursuing perfection in his backyard studio while his admirers, a group of fellow artists and serious collectors scattered across the globe, pushed for the international recognition they felt he deserved. Even while ill, he was planning new bronze castings and sketching new works as friends and fellow artists came to say goodbye. Mar - shall died at age 78.
This article is based on the book of the same name, the first book in the Unheralded Artists of British Columbia series (Mother Tongue Publishing), which illustrates and explores the lives and art of important but previously undoc - umented BC artists from the 1900s through the 1960s. The books are available at the Vancouver Art Gallery Shop and other venues, as well as from mothertonguepublishing.com.

preview-art.com PREVIEW 31 belkin.ubc.ca Maria Eichhorn MORRIS AND HELEN BELKIN ART GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Sep 11-Dec 1 3, 2015 Now in her fourth decade of exhibiting, the Berl in-based Maria Eich - horn is renowned for combining conceptual opera - tions, relational engagements and institutional cri - tiques in the production of works that manifest as photographs, films and appropriated images. Central to her practice is an examination of power and its dis - tribution throughout our variant, and at times abstract, economies. For Eichhorn’s first exhibition in Vancouver, the Belkin has mounted two ongoing pieces: Prohibited Imports (2003/2008 and 2015) and Film Lexicon of Sex - ual Practices (1999/2005/2008/2014/2015). First realized for an exhibition in Tokyo in 2003, Prohibited Imports began when Eichhorn mailed sever - al books to the gallery hoping they would be inter - cepted and censored by customs officials. The result is a series of within-the-lines white-out redactions of R E T

m r r b t g S e i o i o c e t b e b i a a preview-art.com PREVIEW 37 pendulumgallery.bc.ca Marcus Bowcott: Endlessly Rocking PENDULUM GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Aug 25-Sep 18, 2015 Those who frequent the Science World stretch of Vancouver’s Quebec Street will have noticed a stack of five multi-coloured cars placed atop a nearly 7-metre (20-foot) old-growth cedar tree. Entitled Trans Am Totem (2015), the work is the brainchild of Vancouver’s Marcus Bowcott, an artist long fascinated with the “complex relation - ship between natural and industrial landscapes,” a relationship in which the automobile figures largely. Included in Bowcott’s current exhibition are paintings, maquettes and photographs that relate to our culture’s often-outsized carbon footprint. Many of these are attuned to the cruelties of con - sumption as well as to a topic that has driven many Lower Mainlanders crazy of late: mass transportation. For those viewers interested in variations on Bowcott’s totem, the exhibition includes a series of oil-on-Mylar paintings that feature the cars, sans cedar and scenery. Most notable in the show is the debut of a new work by Bowcott: a stripped-down, full-scale Trans-Am designed to respond both visually and kinetically to Alan Storey’s equally rocking Bro - ken Column (1987) – a work so resonant to Van - couverites that they named the gallery after its Marcus Bowcott, Trans Am Totem (Yellow/Orange & Red) (2015), oil pendulous actions.

That Bosch’s The Wayfarer (1510) is believed to be a frag - ment of a larger work provides an imagi - native entrance to an exhibition billed by the KAG as “a complete experience, an installation, rather than a gathering of discrete works.” Like Bosch, Witvliet is interested in the fantastic, particularly as it extends to the darker side of life. In illustrative paintings such as The Path (2015), The Raft, Part 1 (2015) and The Tower (2015), Witvliet employs a recurrent motif based on the loose arrangement of sticks. This formal device brings to mind the forest paintings of Jack Shadbolt or, more recently, the tangled underbrushes of Gordon Smith. In addition to the Wayfarer works, Witvliet’s exhibition includes a series of paintings focused on relationships between human hands. Whether these Jeroen Witvliet, Toad (2015), oil on canvas [Kelowna Art Gallery, Kelowna BC, hands are clasping or grasping at one Jul 25-Oct 18] another is at times uncertain. What is clear, though, is that the behaviour of these hands and the arrangement of sticks in the Wayfarer paint - ings are not unrelated. Michael Turner

The Case of the M.S. Nov 1910 I remember it was a Sunday afternoon, about 1964. My dad took my younger brother and me to an old, abandoned farmhouse not far from where we lived in Castlereagh, Northern Ireland. The building had not been occupied for many years. Inside, remnants of past habitation were strewn about and, amid the debris, I found a small unframed oil-on-canvas painting with a large scratch across its surface. I can’t remember why we were there, oth - er than to perform some nostalgic homage to a place that had mean - ing for my dad. Only later did I dis - cover it had been his boyhood home. I asked my dad if I could keep the painting, and he said yes. I also asked if he knew who painted it, and he said he didn’t, but he thought it was done by a relative. It was initialled and dated in the low - er right, “M.S. Nov 1910.” When I got home later that Untitled, M.S. Nov 1910 afternoon, I took out my oil paints and tried to cover up the scratch with what I thought was the right shade of colour. My attempts were unsuccessful, and the scratch became a noticable slash of viridian green across a modulated sky. I decided to keep the painting any - way, because I liked the imagery: fishermen in two rowboats out on a seemingly calm sea or lake, at dawn or dusk, as evidenced by a beautifully painted rising or setting sun. On the stretcher at the back of the piece was written, in pencil, what appeared to be a name and address. However, try as I might, I was unable to read these. More than a decade later, about 1977, I had the painting restored by a qualified restorer who did an excellent job. I also had it framed, and hung it on my living room wall. As a budding amateur art historian, I tried from time to time to research the signature and date and identify the artist. All I had to go on, from my dad, was that the artist was a relative with the initials M.S. and that he or she had painted the piece in 1910. Over many years, my efforts were in vain. I did discover a relative, my grandfather’s sister Mabel, whose married initials were M.S. However, she was born in 1898, and would have been 12 years old in 1910 – and unmarried, so her initials would still have been M.F. Fortunately, several members of my family had an active interest in geneology, and I was therefore aware of many ancestors dating back to 1770. Although for a time I lost contact with those instrumental in creating and updating our family tree, I recently reconnected with its makers by accident, on the Internet, and discovered that the tree had been expanded with new information. And so at last, more than 50 years later, I think I’ve solved the mystery of the identity of the artist. A brief review of the updated family tree suggests that the artist was probably my third cousin, Minnie Somerset, born about 1876. Ars longa, vita brevis .

Coming to the West Coast only enriched this interest and allowed for a more exten - sive “exploration into concepts of interdependence, interconnectedness and the transient nature of real - ity.” In Magical Worlds , Talbot charts her explo - ration through the patterned and recurrent behav - iour of bees. At first glance, Talbot’s bee pictures could be mistaken for photographic prints. However, as one moves closer to them, their surfaces rise up like goose bumps, turning from paper to fabric covered in what turns out to be stitches, which Talbot sees as “allegorical to atoms.” When taken together with their pictorial content, these stitches can also be seen as akin to honeycombs inside a hive or to the pollen deposits held within them. Embroidery on photo transfer is by no means a groundbreaking artistic process. However, what makes Talbot’s project resonant and gives her pic - tures their overtone is the relationship of form Heather Talbot, Fungi on rotting stump (detail) (2015), (tapestry) to content (the work of honeybees). It’s embroidery on photo transfer [Britannia Art Gallery, one thing to see each stitch as an instance of atomic Vancouver BC, Oct 7-30] activity; it’s something else to feel it. Michael Turner

t S i o n HENRI DE TOULOUSE-LAUTREC PAUL LAPIER openspace.ca / aggv.ca Anna Banana: 45 Years of Fooling Around with A. Banana OPEN SPACE, VICTORIA BC – Sep 19-Oct 24, 2015 ART GALLERY OF GREATER VICTORIA, VICTORIA BC – Sep 19, 2015-Jan 3, 2016 With over 1,000 works displayed in two venues, the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria and Open Space, this exhibition provides an incredible opportunity to experience the Anna Banana phenomenon. Co-curated by Michelle Jacques and Helen Marzolf, this show includes an almost endless array of collages, arti- stamps, magazines, posters, trading cards and videos, all generated over the course of Banana’s long career, beginning in the early 1970s. Says Jacques: “The path of Banana’s career was not usually apparent to the mainstream art world. Yet, because of her com- mitment to collaboration and interactivity, and her participa- tion in the mail art network, she has been hugely influential around the world.

At this event, called Regifting the Bananas, the artist will be in residence and will invite visitors to choose from the multitude of banana items she has received through the mail art network: toys, kitchen gadgets, clothes, jewellery, accessories and more. She is giving the whole collection away, and all one has to do in exchange for a selected item is complete a cataloguing form for it. Christine Clark

preview-art.com PREVIEW 59 elizabethleach.com Michelle Ross: Trust Falls & Transparent Things ELIZABETH LEACH GALLERY, PORTLAND OR – Sept 3-26, 2015 Portland artist Michelle Ross is known for formal abstractions that mirror universal themes. While creating new conceptual and aesthetic relationships, her material-based compositions focus on specific arrangements and the experiences evoked by simple associations made between form, colour and space. Ross is the recipient of a Hallie Ford Fellowship, a Portland Art Museum Contemporary Northwest Art Award, a McDowell Fellowship and numerous other grants and awards. Her artistic oeuvre is grounded in a solid vision of abstraction, while her choices in media vary from digital collage and decon - structed “paintings” based in fabric to mixed-media oil paintings that employ materials like paper, plaster, Y
linen, graphite, chalk and house paint. R E L L A G For this new exhibition, Ross demonstrates a free - H C A E L

62 PREVIEW I SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2015 # OPEN LATE ON FIRST THURSDAYS VIGNETTES • September/October 2015 Oregon ALLYN CANTOR RAE MAHAFFEY: SO-AND-SO Laura Russo Gallery, Portland, Sep 3-26 Rae Mahaffey investigates the possibilities of colour, pattern and repe - tition in vibrant and stimulating oil paintings created on woodgrain panels. The artist is most concerned with formal considerations, which she calls the “semantics and syntax of visual art.” Her fresh contempo - rary works utilize systematic compositions and layers of organic and Rae Mahaffey geometric motifs rendered through a saturated palette. Drama and luminosity result from the push and pull between structured forms and chromic textures that echo the woodgrain of her panels. HEATHER WATKINS: THIS IS THE ONLY ONE PDX Contemporary Art, Portland, Sep 1-26 Portland artist Heather Watkins uses experimental forms of drawing, printmaking, book arts, installation and sculpture in her studio practice. Her new exhibit includes interrelated bodies of work that are primarily concerned with their own making over any singular images. One series begins with the same gesture for each Heather Watkins work, created with vibrant blue ink on linen; the totality is a medita - tion on variation and movement. In other pieces, Watkins’s ink draw - ings are records of touch and transmission, describing objects that are no longer there.
EYEBEAM IN OBJECTS Upfor, Portland, Sep 3-Oct 10 Eyebeam is a New York-based nonprofit that promotes and supports the creative use of new technologies and provides exposure for engaging new media projects. For this exhibition, director and curator Roddy Schrock asked alumni of Eyebeam’s residency program, who work in a myriad Addie Wagenknecht of tech-related forms, to render their work into objects. The exhibit features Chloë Bass, Zach Blas, James Bridle, Heather Dewey-Hag - borg, Zach Gage, Brian House and Addie Wagenknecht, some of Eyebeam’s most forward-looking and adventurous artists. STILLEVEN: CONTEMPORARY STILL LIFE Hallie Ford Museum of Art, Salem, Sep 12-Dec 20 This exhibit brings together 27 artists from Ore - gon, Washington, Idaho, Montana and British Columbia who work in both traditional and challenging notions of still life. Stilleven: Contempo - rary Still Life highlights works that range from explorations of atmos - Katherine Ace phere and light to wildly fanciful and improbable compositions to those that express social, political or environmental considerations. Notewor - thy artists include Henk Pander, Norman Lundin, Sherrie Wolf, Katherine Ace and Whiting Tennis. SEEING NATURE: LANDSCAPE MASTERWORKS FROM THE PAUL G. ALLEN FAMILY COLLECTION Portland Art Museum, Portland, Oct 10-Jan 10 This major exhibition presents five centuries of masterworks that trace the evolution of European and American landscape painting. Nev - er before exhibited together, exquisite pieces by William Turner and Paul Cézanne provide glimpses into some of the genre’s innovators, while paintings by Thomas Moran, Edward Hopper and Georgia O’Ke - effe provide an American perspective. A rare Gustav Klimt landscape and five canvases by French Impressionist Claude Monet are highlights Édouard Manet of this exhibit, which will travel after its première at PAM. preview-art.com PREVIEW 63 8pm.

Represented here are Judith Eglington, early intermedia artist Roy Kiyooka, photo-conceptualists Christos Dikeakos and N.E.

a y VIGNETTES • September/October 2015 Washington MATTHeW KANGAS NOT VANISHING: CONTEMPORARY EXPRESSIONS IN INDIGENOUS ART, 1977-2015 Museum of Northwest Art, La Conner, Oct 10, 2015-Jan 3, 2016 Some time ago, living Native American and First Nations artists stopped waiting for Anglo curators to recognize them and dis - course with them. So, people like Gail Tremblay of Evergreen State College organized shows of their own. Her big survey, Not Vanishing , Ryan Fedderson brings the record up-to-date on how individual indigenous artists confront traditional materials and various aspects of cultural baggage. British Columbia artists are included here, as well as Puget Sound and Plateau tribal members. FRANZ ERHARD WALTHER Henry Art Gallery, University of Washington, Seattle, Oct 31, 2015-Mar 6, 2016 Following up on his knockout debut last year of German artist Katinka Bock’s Katinka Bock: A & I , Henry Gallery deputy-director Luis Croquer scores another coup Franz Erhard Walther with the first U.S. show of Franz Erhard Walther. Active since the 1960s and included in the important Spaces exhibit at MOMA, NY, in 1970 with Michael Asher, Robert Morris and Dan Flavin, Walther continues with their site-based sculptures and installations for the Henry.
Z.Z. WEI Patricia Rovzar Gallery, Seattle, Sep 3-28 For all their serenity, Z.Z. Wei’s eastern Washington landscape scenes have an eerie lifeless - ness that has been underappreciated. Are his people in pastoral para - dise hiding from authorities, or are they all in church on a Sunday morning? Wei’s perfect achievement of intentional ambiguity is part Z.Z. Wei of his staying power and enduring appeal. With stylized effects firmly in place, the pictures resemble a created, formerly bucolic world that looks increasingly haunted, yet typically consoling. PAUL VEXLER: TWISTED Foster/White Gallery, Seattle, Sep 3-26, and Boise Art Museum, Boise, ID, Jun 20, 2015-May 8, 2016 For his fifth solo show at Foster/White Gallery, sculptor Paul Vexler continues in his vein of twisted and turned, fused and laminated wooden rib - bons and strips. This new work of Vexler, who is a recipient of two recent commissions in Taipei, Taiwan, coincides with a major instal - lation at Boise Art Museum. Mechanically kinetic, interlocking jig - saw-form wall sculptures are also on view, along with suspended and freestanding works. Reclaimed and recycled plywood has never Paul Vexler looked so good.
RIK ALLEN: NEW WORKS Traver Gallery, Seattle, Oct 1-31 Is there such a thing as Sci-Fi Goth or Goth Sci-Fi? If so, its avatar in mixed-media glass sculpture must be Rik Allen. As if huge honours at the Science Fiction Museum in Seattle were not enough, the Spark Museum of Electrical Invention in Bellingham acquired one of Allen’s unusual sentinels. Boeing Co., Star Trek’s Gene Roddenberry and Amazon head, Jeff Bezos, have as well. The Blue Origin aerospace company of Kent, WA, has made inquiries to procure one also.
Rik Allen preview-art.com PREVIEW 69 nickle.ucalgary.ca Ron Moppett: SCULPTUR(AL) NICKLE GALLERIES, CALGARY AB – Sep 24-Dec 19, 2015 The melding of painting and sculpture has as many origin stories as Modernism itself. For some, it begins with Kurt Schwitters’s collages; for others, with Robert Rauschenberg’s “combine” paintings or with Lucio Fontana’s slashed mono - chromes. Judging from Ron Moppett’s recent works, the question of “origin” might lie not in what painting can do for sculpture, but in what sculpture can do for painting. Among the more notable works in SCULPTUR(AL) is DawnLightningField (2014). Here we see the presence, if not the influence, of Rauschenberg, of hard-edge painting and documentary photo- graphy, as well as of Duchamp and indeed of sculpture’s arguable suc - cessor – installation.

Of course the real thing, in this instance, can only include the painting. Michael Turner

LEO SAUL BERK: STRUCTURE AND ORNAMENT was published by the Frye Art Museum for Berk’s recent exhibition and for The Uncertainty of Enclosure exhibi - tion at the University of Wisconsin’s INOVA. This publication contains lavish colour illustrations of the works featured in these exhibits, which draw from Berk’s experience growing up in the unconventional Ford House, designed by architect Bruce Goff. Scholarly essays and a conversation between Berk and Scott Lawrimore provide insight into Berk’s vision of “the transformative potential of exceptional architecture.” Hardcover, 84 pp., $28 USD. Available online at Frye Art Museum Store, 206-432-8201 or [email protected].
WAYFARER: JEROEN WITVLIET is the catalogue for the Kelowna Art Gallery exhi - bition of the same name (on until Oct 18) of recent paintings by this Netherlands- born, Victoria-based artist. Witvliet’s subjects, from shipwrecks to complex piles of debris, communicate an eerie, dystopian mood. Working in shades of black and grey with occasional ribbons of colour, he conjures images of destruction and collapse (and alludes to a painting by the 15th-century Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch). Softcover, 45 pp., $12 CAD. Available at the Kelowna Art Gallery, 250-762-2226.
THE LIFE AND ART OF JACK AKROYD accompanied a recent retrospective at the Burnaby Art Gallery. Well researched and richly illustrated, the book is a critical biography written by Peter Busby (the author, not the architect) about a largely overlooked artist. Akroyd immigrated to Canada from England in 1948 and, after studying art in Toronto, moved to Vancouver, where he drew and painted detailed and often surreal figurative scenes and landscapes. Published by Mother Tongue as part of its Unheralded Artists of BC series. Softcover, 156 pp., $35.95 CAD. Available at the Burnaby Art Gallery, 604-297-4422.
UNSCROLLED: REFRAMING TRADITION IN CHINESE CONTEMPORARY ART , co-published by the VAG and Black Dog Publishing, is the companion book to last spring’s exhibition at the Vancouver Art Gallery. The exhibit explored the formal, aesthetic and philosophical influences of past cultural expressions on present-day art practice in China. The 10 contemporary artists surveyed, includ - ing internationally renowned Ai Weiwei, work across a range of form, medium and scale, from small ink-wash drawings on rice paper to room-filling, mixed- media installations. Hardcover, 159 pp., $29.95 CAD. Available at the Vancouver Art Gallery Store, 604-662-4706.
DANA LYNN LOUIS: CLEARING recalls the exhibition held recently at Lewis & Clark College’s Hoffman Gallery in Portland. This full-colour catalogue documents the artist’s immersive exhibition, which transformed the Hoffman gallery into an ethereal environment that explored the meaning of “clearing” through drawings, sculpture, photography, projection and sound. Essays by gallery director Linda Tesner and author David James Duncan provide insight into Louis’s work and studio practice. A poem by Jennifer Boyden adds another layer of meaning to Louis’s thoughtful exhibition. Hardcover, 48 pp., $20 USD. Available at Hoffman Gallery, Lewis & Clark College, 503-768-7687 or www.lclark.edu/hoffman_gallery.

Katz are opening Art AIDS America before a national tour. Dubbed art made “pre-cock - tail” and “post-cocktail” (referring to the medicine that slowed the dis - ease), this huge 30-year survey of AIDS art is another lively free-for- all mixture of celebration and grief, defiance and subversion, anger and joy.

Pacific Northwest artists Charles LeDray, Michael Ehle, Jim Hodges, Keith Lewis, Steven Miller and Martin Wong more than hold up their end of regional representation. Photographers Nan Goldin, Robert Mapplethorpe and Duane Michals cover the seedy underside of AIDS, while Haring’s prints and limited-edition bronzes look surprisingly fresh. One must admit how deep and wide AIDS’s influence has been as an instigator of political action through artistic prac - tice.
