www.youraga.ca Louise Bourgeois 1911-2010 ART GALLERY OF ALBERTA, EDMONTON AB – Jun 2-Sep 23, 2012 The AGA exhibit Louise Bourgeois 1911-2010 was inspired by the artist’s first solo show in New York, where she introduced her iconic wood and metal “personage” sculptures created between 1947 and 1950. The exhibit draws from the significant holdings of the National Gallery of Canada, supplemented by loans from the artist’s estate. At the cen- tre of the gallery is her massive Cell (The Last Climb) (2008), a significant recent installation Bourgeois constructed around the spiral staircase of her Brooklyn studio. Enclosed within a cage-like structure and surrounded by blue glass spheres and wood balls, the staircase stands 14 feet tall inside the gallery space. Louise Bourgeois was born in Paris COLLECTION: NATIONAL GALLERY OF CANADA / © LOUISE BOURGEOIS TRUST BOURGEOIS © LOUISE CANADA / OF GALLERY NATIONAL COLLECTION: in 1911 and studied art at the Ecole du Louise Bourgeois, Cell (The Last Climb) (2008), steel, wood, blown glass, rubber Louvre, Académie des Beaux-Arts, and spools of thread [Art Gallery of Alberta, Edmonton AB, Jun 2-Sep 23] Académie Julian, and Atelier Fernand Léger.

Alberta ROBIN LAuReNCe CATHERINE BURGESS: ABSENCE/PRESENCE Art Gallery of Alberta, Edmonton, Jul 14-Oct 14 This acclaimed Edmonton sculptor sees her beautifully considered works as “conversations among whole things, rather than…a gathering together of fragments”. This exhibition of recent groupings of wall- and floor-mounted sculp- tures, mostly executed in steel with granite, aluminum or lead elements, uses forms and materials to animate the spaces Catherine Burgess between them – presence to activate absence. YELLOWSTONE TO YUKON: THE J0URNEY OF WILDLIFE AND ART Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies, Banff, Jun 16-Nov 15 This collaborative exhibition honours the role that art has played in communicating the need for the protection and conservation of the natural world. Surveying the last 150 years of wildlife art in the Yellowstone to Yukon region, the show includes works by historic and contemporary artists such as Carl Rungius, Thomas Moran and Robert Bateman. Integral to the presentation are Dwayne Harty’s landscape and wildlife paintings, the result of a three-year project “following in the footsteps” of Rungius and Carl Rungius traversing some 3,200 km of territory. MARK CLINTBERG: BEHIND THIS LIES MY TRUE DESIRE FOR YOU Art Gallery of Alberta, Edmonton, Jul 14-Dec 30 Montreal-based Mark Clintberg is known for a range of scholarly and creative practices, from art history to curation. As an artist, he has pro- duced objects, photographs, drawings and – as his new commis- sion for the AGA’s Manning Hall reveals – text works. Hand- painted in big block letters on a rustic wooden façade, Clint- berg’s bold yet ambiguous statement alludes to everything from Mark Clintberg prairie barns and grain elevators to the gallery’s recent renova- tion and rebranding. BRADLEY HARMS: ODD FUTURE Newzones, Calgary, Sep 15-Oct 13 This solo show by abstractionist Bradley Harms pursues ideas about both the materiality of painting and the ubiquity of com- puter technology. With their intersecting planes of fine lines, his works riff on the “tropes of digital art”, while at the same time asserting a persistently handmade quality. Our perceptions of both man and machine are challenged. Bradley Harms KAY BURNS The New Gallery, Calgary, Oct 12-Nov 10 The two photo-based installations created by Newfoundland artist Kay Burns play fact off fiction and identity off its social construction. They also speak to the important role of walking in her multidis- ciplinary art practice. The Shoe Collection of Hortense Muriel Walk- er documents just that – playfully attributed shoes assembled by a fictional, wheelchair-bound character. The Other, which exam- ines “identities nested within identities”, consists of pseudo-his- torical photo tableaux of the artist performing the persona of a woman living as a man. Kay Burns

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 11 www.seattleartmuseum.org Elles: Women Artists from the Centre Pompidou, Paris SEATTLE ART MUSEUM, SEATTLE WA – Oct 11, 2012–Jan 13, 2013 This survey of modern and con- temporary art comes to Seattle from the permanent collection of the Centre Pompidou, which houses the Musée National d’Art Moderne, the largest museum for modern art in Europe. The international exhibition represents seminal women artists whose work paralleled the visual vocab- ulary of many major art movements with examples of painting, sculpture, photography, video and installation pieces from 1909 to 2007. Organized thematically and chronologically, Elles focuses primarily on women who created provocative or challenging artworks rather than those who worked within a tradition. The exhibition begins with the avant-garde artists of the early 20th century and moves to the Paris photographers working from the 1920s to ‘40s, including forward-thinking and exper- imental artists of this era like Dora Maar and Claude Cahun. Abstraction’s popularity in the mid-century is showcased by the works of early innovators like Sonia Delaunay and Joan Mitchell, cementing the female contribution to these genres. The section, Feminism and Critics of Power, classifies works

www.belkin.ubc.ca State of Mind: New California Art Circa 1970 MORRIS AND HELEN BELKIN ART GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Sep 28-Dec 9, 2012 In a major exhibi- tion of 150 works by 60 artists, State of Mind: New California Art Circa 1970 looks at the contribution of California artists to international Conceptualism, and complements the upcoming exhibit at the , Traffic: Conceptual Art in Canada 1965-1980. The most enduring legacy of early California Conceptualism, as noted by curator Constance Lewallen, was the breadth of its impact. Artists de-emphasized the notion of art as object and pioneered new forms of body- oriented performance, art as social interaction, and art as political commentary. One of the most memorable and pivotal pieces, arguably, was Chris Burden’s Shoot. Other prominent artists of the period included Ed Ruscha, Lynn Hershman, Bruce Nauman, Paul Kos and John Baldessari. Spread from Northern California to Hollywood, the conceptual artists of the late 1960s and 1970s produced site-specific installations, text-based works, mail art, films and videos. They questioned the traditional artist-viewer experience by situating their work in non-art sites and alternative galleries. Even in galleries, the type and manner of their work questioned gallery conventions and impeded PHOTO: COURTESY OF UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY ART MUSEUM AND PACIFIC FILM AND PACIFIC MUSEUM ART BERKELEY CALIFORNIA, OF UNIVERSITY OF COURTESY PHOTO: the commodification of art.

Taking its name from the popular art form pioneered during the 1960s, five invited artists have used transient, natural materials to construct sculptures and land forms that will grad- ually change and erode over time. Michael Dennis is a sculptor and Denman Island artist who carves colossal, totem-like figures from cedar retrieved from abandoned logging sites near his studio on Denman Island, BC. Nicole Dextras is an environmental artist working in a multitude of media including sculpture, interactive public installation and photography. A founding member of the Art is Land Network, she has created numerous art installations in Canada and participated in Land Art Mongolia (2010). For VanDusen she fashioned a series of 28 dresses from plants, flowers and leaves. Barvarian artist Nils Udo is known for his massive nests using natural found materials. In this exhibit, he has created a pair of 20-metre high Sequoia trees with palm fronds on bam- boo sticks.

20 PREVIEW I SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2012 VIGNETTES • September/October 2012 British Columbia ROBIN LAuReNCe COLLECTING MATISSE AND MODERN MASTERS Vancouver Art Gallery, Vancouver, May 26-Sep 30 Subtitled The Cone Sisters of Baltimore, this exhibition introduces us to a stellar collection of French modernist art, including paintings by Gauguin, Renoir and Picasso. It focuses particularly on works by Henri Matisse and on the fond relationship he had with the wealthy socialite Henri Matisse sisters, Claribel and Etta Cone. It also charts the Cones’s travels, eclecticism and daring embrace of the avant-garde in the early decades of the 20th century. LAG MA’AL A DAPAR – LAND, SEA AND SKY Alcheringa Gallery, Victoria, Aug 9-Sep 20 This exhibition features linocuts and hand-coloured etchings by two renowned Torres Strait artists, Dennis Nona and Alick Tipoti. Both artists draw their subject matter from the creatures, stories and spirits of the small islands located between New Guinea and Australia, creating a vivid testament to both culture and place. The title is in a dialect of the Maluyligal people whose language is at the core of their cultural expression. ODD OCCURRENCES Seymour Art Gallery, North Vancouver, Sep Dennis Nona 6-Oct 14 The idea of storytelling is central to this exhibition of highly imaginative art by Kristin Bjornerud, Tamara Bond, Tomoyo Ihaya and Carrie Walker. These artists, guest curator Rachel Rosenfield Lafo writes, “offer a rich mixture of fabricat- ed narratives derived from personal experience, cultural ori- gins, current events, dreams, myths and folktales”. Mystery, magic and metaphor abound. JONATHAN VILLENEUVE: DO THE WAVE grunt gallery, Vancouver, Sep 6-Oct 6 Montreal artist Jonathan Villeneuve “makes poetic machines” out of the most ordinary materials and objects. Do the Wave is an intriguing electromechanical installation that Tamara Bond produces a gentle ripple effect all through its multitude of hanging wooden components – plain old two-by-fours that, here, take on the pulse of an ocean wave or a stadium full of sports fans. CÉCILE RONC: LE PAYS OBLIQUE Elissa Cristall Gallery, Vancou- ver, Sep 6-29 French painter Cécile Ronc creates “imaginary landscapes that verge on abstraction”. Immensely subtle and Jonathan Villeneuve often ethereal in tone, these works explore the relationship between the material world and spiritual aspiration – “between nature and our inner life”. A graduate of the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris, Ronc is a new presence in Vancouver’s art scene.

British Columbia ROBIN LAURENCE ERNIE KROEGER: CONFLUENCE Kamloops Art Gallery, Kamloops, Sep 8-Nov 3 Described as a “memory map”, this exhibition uses historic and contemporary photographs and text to examine the place where the city of Kamloops is located – at the confluence of the North and South Thompson rivers. Artist and educator Ernie Kroeger has assembled an array of materials and images, including his own digital photographs and numerous references Ernie Kroeger to the Shuswap-language origin of the city’s name, to reveal the way Kamloops’s natural setting has shaped its identity. STEPHEN HEAL: ARRANGEMENTS Polychrome Fine Art, Victoria, Sep 13-27 Although he established himself as an ironworker, Victoria artist Stephen Heal recently began to create handsome, wall-mounted assemblages out of painted pieces of reclaimed wood. With their striking horizontals and verticals, inflected by rich colour or occasional incursions of natural wood grain, they evoke the mood of early Modernism, from Piet Mondrian to Ben Nicholson, with a nod to Cubism and Constructivism. Stephen Heal CAROL CONDE AND KARL BEVERIDGE: OPEN CONVERSATIONS Richmond Art Gallery, Richmond, Sep 14-Nov 10 Toronto-based artist-activists and longtime collaborators Carol Condé and Karl Beveridge have, for decades, dedicated their work to social change, aligning themselves with the labour movement and its associated causes. This exhibition focuses on their exploration of “dialogue as a form of socially engaged art practice”. Included in the survey exhibition is a newly commissioned project in which the artists worked with the various communities represented by staff members of the Richmond Cultural Centre. NAIRY BAGHRAMIAN Contemporary Art Gallery, Vancouver, Sep Carol Condé/Karl Beveridge 14-Nov 11 This first North American exhibition by Iranian- born, Berlin-based artist Nairy Baghramian consists of an 18- piece sculptural tableaux, collectively titled Class Reunion. Each abstract form within this work suggests a character whose quali- ties are evoked by its structure, pose and individual title. Baghramian’s socially and politically inflected practice includes references to “literature, theory, and modernist design”. TO/FROM BC ELECTRIC RAILWAY: 100 YEARS Centre A, Vancouver, Sep 15-Nov 10 This group show marks the 100th anniversary of Nairy Baghramian the building that currently houses Centre A. Originally built as the administrative offices and terminus station of the interurban BC Electric Railway, the building functions “as an agent for the transmission of… cultural memory.” Working across a range of media, Vancouver artists Raymond Boisjoy, Stan Douglas, Ali Kazimi, Vanessa Kwan, Evan Lee and Cindy Mochizuki make creative use of this historic locale to address such themes as transportation, immigration, cultural identity, and place.

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 23 GALLERY VIEWS BY ROBIN LAURENCE From Glacial Meltwater to Contemporary Art The Esker Foundation, an imaginatively conceived and executed new gallery, opened in Cal- gary in June of this year to great public and media fanfare – and considerable critical acclaim. The city’s largest privately funded, non-commercial art institution of its kind, it is dedicated to producing “innovative and exceptional temporary art exhibitions and educational events”, and is the gift of local philanthropists, Jim and Susan Hill. The Esker Foundation is located in the daz- zling new Atlantic Avenue Art Block, a mixed-use building located in Inglewood, Calgary’s oldest neighbourhood. Some fif- teen minutes from downtown, Inglewood includes an area slated for redevelopment as a new cultural hub for the city. Occupying the building’s top floor and distinguished by its dramatically curving IMAGE COURTESY: KASIAN ARCHITECTURE © 2012 © ARCHITECTURE KASIAN COURTESY: IMAGE roofline and a sweeping wall of windows, the gallery boasts 15,000 square feet of environ- mentally responsible, purpose-built exhibition Esker Foundation Art Gallery in the Atlantic Avenue Art Block, Calgary space. Designed by Kasian Architecture Inte- rior Design and Planning, it includes “the Nest”, a unique meeting and research space within a spherical network of steel bands. The build- ing’s atrium is also part of the Esker’s public presentation and is dominated by a collaborative steel sculpture by Calgary artists Chris Cran and Gord Ferguson, built into a four-storey glass staircase. Speaking in a video on the Esker Foundation’s website, president and founder Jim Hill describes being motivated to create an exhibition venue for art by his sense that what was previ- ously available in Calgary was not sufficient. He wanted to see “more space, more art, more fre- quency”, he says, then adds that he posed the question, “Why not try to make it happen myself?” Hill’s vision included siting the gallery in a new commercial building of his own construction, so that the rents from the other tenants would fund the Esker Foundation’s programs: “The gallery enhances the experience of the tenants, the tenants… help support the gallery, it’s a very symbiotic relationship”. Although the Hills are well-known art patrons and collectors, with a special focus on

colour field paintings, the Esker Foundation is FOUNDATION ESKER COURTESY GRANDJEAN, CHRISTIAN PHOTO: about exhibition and education, not collection. This fact distinguishes it from other private New Alberta Contemporaries, installation view, Esker Foundation museums and foundations based on personal art Art Gallery in the Atlantic Avenue Art Block, Calgary collections, such as the Rennie Collection in Vancouver and the Ydessa Hendeles Art Foundation in Toronto. Hill explains that the gallery is unique in “not being burdened by a collection and not being burdened by fundraising obligations”. The foundation’s unusual name comes from a geological formation. An esker is a long, wind- ing ridge composed of sand and gravel deposited during the last ice age by meltwater running through or under a glacier. Hill explains this unusual formation as a metaphor for his vision of the gallery and its programs. “Eskers quite often are pathways in the North”, he says, “They facilitate travel”. Then he adds, “They may take you on a circuitous route, but they still get you to your destination.”

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 31 Conservator’s Corner BY REBECCA PAVITT FINE ART CONSERVATION www.fineartconserve.com Wolbers’ World: Excellent – A Workshop Review In March 2012, the Vancouver Art Gallery (VAG) hosted a three-day workshop on the cleaning of painted surfaces by Richard Wolbers, Associate Professor in the Art Conservation Department at the University of Delaware, where he is also working on a PhD on groundbreaking conservation tech- niques for works in acrylic paint. With a background in science as well as studio art, Wolbers has rev- olutionized the way paintings and, by extension, paper, textiles and objects are cleaned. At the VAG workshop, we received the benefit of his latest research; the mornings were spent at lectures and the afternoons were spent testing and experimenting with materials in the lab. The first day was designated for reviewing basic cleaning chemistry: pH, buffers, surfactants and chelators. Day two dealt with gel delivery systems for aqueous solutions and organic solvents with a focus on gels made from xanthan gum (bacteria derived), agarose (seaweed derived), Pemulen TR2 (polyacrylic acid), and Velvesil Plus (silicone crosspolymer). Xanthan gum (2% weight/volume in water) forms a viscous gel which is stable over a wide pH and temperature range. Additional materials can be added to make custom cleaning poultices. Xanthan gum gels can also hold non-polar solvents in intermolecular pockets (oil in water emulsion), a property which has the potential to greatly reduce the conservator’s exposure to solvent. These gels rinse well, which makes them suitable for use on paper and textiles. Agarose (purified agar) is most useful when used as a rigid gel (about 4% weight/volume in water). In this state it can be used as a molecular sponge to deliver, and then remove, aqueous cleaning solutions to and from porous substrates. Pemulen TR2 is an alkyl acrylate crosspolymer that can be used to make oil in water emulsions. Organic solvents can be added up to about 20% volume/volume. Because of rinsing problems, Pemulen gels are not recommended for porous materials. The final gel to be covered was Velvesil Plus, a real showstopper. It is a silicone polyether copolymer that can be mixed with both polar solvents (including aqueous solutions) and non-polar solvents, up to about 20% each. This very unique material is a thick waxy gel that can be painted on small areas with great precision. It can be used as a type of “dry” poultice to deliver and then remove tiny amounts of water, or aqueous solutions, to water- sensitive items such as parchment and acrylic paintings. It can also be used to draw out solvent- soluble materials such as ballpoint pen marks from solvent-sensitive surfaces. Day three of the workshop covered solvent- based Carbopol (acrylic-alkene-ether polymer) gels, and a review of the Teas diagram, which is used to determine what materials a solvent is like- ly to soften or dissolve. Wolbers is actually mov- Richard Wolbers and workshop participants ing away from these solvent gels as he feels that most cleaning can be done using the materials described above. His goal is to simplify conservation treat- ments to make them more safe for both the object and the conservator. His systems can drastically reduce the amount of organic solvents used in conservation, and he substitutes the most toxic solvents with safer alternatives. Benzyl alcohol, for example, can be mixed with mineral spirits to approximate the solubility parameters of xylene. I thank the VAG conservation staff and Nadine Powers for organizing this extremely worthwhile event which has inspired me to retool my lab and to start experimenting with this brave new world of Wolbers.

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 35 www.jccgv.com/content/jcc-cultural-arts Nomi Kaplan: Rain SIDNEY AND GERTRUDE ZACK GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Sep 13-Oct 14, 2012 Nomi Kaplan was born in Lithuania in 1933 and immigrated to Vancouver in 1940. For more than four decades, she has created elegant, imaginative series of photographs, photo collages and installa- tions. Generations of artists have been inspired by her magical black and white photographs, often hand-tinted, that capture the elusive and mysterious cycle of life, death and rebirth in nature. In her new series titled Rain, much like her work with Shadows (2005-2006), Tzitzit (2005-2006) and Furniture for Birds (1985), Kaplan uses simple objects and materials as cata- lysts for embellishment and ornamentation. The once-ordi- nary transparent umbrellas are laden with dried flowers, sticks, ribbons and other materials then photographed with fantastic lighting effects. Kaplan taught photography at Emily Carr College of Art and Design from 1991 to 1994. In the late 1980s, she became absorbed by themes of the Holocaust and the disap- pearance of Jewish life in Europe. She has shown from New York and Quebec to Washington and Victoria, BC. Kaplan has been the recipient of numerous grants, and her Nomi Kaplan, Goldilocks (2012), photograph work is in the collections of the Brooklyn Museum, Canada [Sidney and Gertrude Zack Gallery,Vancouver Council Art Bank, and Canadian Museum of Contemporary BC, Sep 13-Oct 14] Photography, among others.

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 37 www.cafeforcontemporaryart.com Marcus Bowcott: Cruising Arcadia CAFÉ FOR CONTEMPORARY ART, NORTH VANCOUVER BC – Sep 7-Oct 4, 2012 Marcus Bowcott is a well-known North Vancouver artist who showed with the Bau-Xi Gallery from 1998 to 2005. His paintings have been described as “beautiful and unnerving”, “poised and accomplished”. Bowcott earned a master's degree from London's Royal College of Art in 1984 by alternat- ing years of work in the Vancouver harbour, Fraser River and Canadian Arctic. Freighters, log booms, barges and dry docks have been the mainstay of his work in both painting and sculpture. In 2011 he began painting back views of trailers and RVs, several with humorous art historical references to artists like Rothko, Mondrian, Varley and Bierstadt and to contemporary advertising. In a new series of large oil paintings titled Cruising Arcadia, he contrasts the flat- ness of contemporary advertising images with the deeply felt sumptuousness, colour and atmosphere of Marcus Bowcott, A View From Here (2011), oil on canvas [Café 19th-century landscape painting. for Contemporary Art, North Vancouver BC, Sep 7-Oct 4] Bowcott has been an instructor of painting and drawing at Capilano University, North Vancouver since 1991. His work is in the collection of the Cana- da Council Art Bank, Vancouver Art Gallery, BC Ferry Corporation and Toronto Dominion Bank, among others. Mia Johnson

15TH AVE www.xchangesgallery.org Fragments and Masks XCHANGES GALLERY, VICTORIA BC – Oct 5-28, 2012 Barry Herring and Richard Motchman, members of Xchanges artists’ coöperative, present their seemingly divergent works of painting and photography as a meditation on perception and the relationship between artist and model. Herring, a retired architect with a lifelong interest in photography, works out of Xchanges’ Cross- grain Photographic Studio, a traditional wet darkroom. He has created a series of Cubist-like por- traits designed to reveal, through fragments, our human tendency to judge the entirety of another person using inadequate visual information such as physical traits, deformities or clothing and accessories. He photographs his models from multiple angles and then collages these ambiguous photos to form multifaceted and, therefore, truer images of his subjects. Motchman graduated with a BFA from the University of Victoria in 1982 and has exhibit- ed throughout British Columbia. He contin- ues his intimate investigations into duality and wish fulfillment with a series of transformation masks. Shaped paintings of nude models are installed with hinged masks that can be opened to reveal the subject’s human face. Barry Herring, My Image of Richard's Image of Me and Richard Models were encouraged to choose their own (2012), oil paint on wood [Xchanges Gallery, Victoria BC, Oct 5-28] revealing/cloaking masks; the vast majority chose extremely powerful images, such as the implacable and timeless faces of deities.

JOSEPH PLASKETT ROBIN HOPPER www.sagapublicartgallery.ca Herald Nix: Railroad Bridges and the Lights of Town SAGA PUBLIC ART GALLERY, SALMON ARM BC – Sep 8-29, 2012 The SAGA Public Art Gallery is fea- turing Herald Nix’s Railroad Bridges and the Lights of Town, a series of 40 oil paintings from the Sicamous Lake area of British Columbia. Painted between 1967 and 2012, the images capture the lakes, bridges, towns and massed hills around Salmon Arm with large, deft brushstrokes. Herald Nix was born in 1951 in Salmon Arm, in the interior of British Columbia, and continues to live in the farmhouse where he grew up. In his youth he went to the Vancouver School of Art (now Emily Carr University of Art + Design). Nix makes almost daily trips into the bush around Salmon Arm or takes his rowboat onto the lakes to paint small landscapes en plein air using oil on board. His painting has been described as being “as much about the paint as it is about the places”. Nix is a singer, songwriter and guitarist, and one of the most respected artists in the Canadian underground scene. ReverbNation Herald Nix, Lights of Salmon Arm: Untitled (2008), oil on board [SAGA Public Art Gallery, Salmon Arm BC, Sep 8-29] (reverbnation.com) reports that he “sings like Hank Williams, writes like Steinbeck and paints like nobody else”. Variously called “alt country” or “Americana”, his music – like Chicago blues – is simple, warm and beautiful. Mia Johnson

To date, he has had 50 solo exhibitions of his impressive large canvases. During October, his work will be featured in both Vancouver – BC as opposed to WA – and Seattle. The paintings in his Skalamerija series resemble what the name implies: a configuration of parts and pieces, jerry-rigged together into new wholes. Shattered fragments of text and textured shapes com- bine to form explosive compositions. Like aerial maps of Paris or cell activity under the microscope, several images feature focal points of larger sections, letters and symbols. Others are colourful pastiches with strips of wavy text in different typefaces that conjure fragments of news, politics, advertising and culture in Bratsa Bonifacho, Adbusters 012 (2012), oil on canvas phrases like “adbusters” and “deal or no deal”. [Foster/White Gallery, Seattle WA, Oct 4-27] In a subsequent show at Vancouver’s Bau-Xi Gallery, Bonifacho is showing a series of paintings entitled Messages. The large canvases similarly con- tain scrambled phrases in his characteristic bright hues. They have a strong and formal graphic pres- ence with a more uniform, rhythmic elegance. In both exhibits, Bonifacho demonstrates a maturity and power gained through decades of rigorous painting. Mia Johnson

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 59 BY JIM FINLAY Practical Art History or FINLAY FINE ART Confessions of a Fine Art Appraiser www.FinlayFineArt.com Chapter 33. Who’s Afraid of Canadian Landscape Art? This painting was brought to my attention by my accountant, the present owner, whose elderly mother had owned the work for many years. Previously, the painting had belonged to her grandmother and had been in the family prior to her acquiring it. It is entitled Indian River, North Arm of Inlet, and is oil on can- vas, mounted on board. It measures about 16 x 20 inches and is signed and dated H. J. de Forest 1908. Canadian artist Henry Josiah de Forest (1855- 1924) was born in either St. John or Rothesay, New Brunswick. He first visited Vancouver in 1891 and settled here permanently in 1898. His paintings of the landscape and the surround- ing environs were exhibited in Vancouver in the 1890s. In 1894 he became the first secretary of the Art, Historical and Scientific Association. He was also the first secretary of the Vancouver Museum, eventually serving as the Museum’s curator from 1905 until 1912. During this time, in 1910, he tried, unsuccessfully, to establish a Masonic museum in Vancouver. H.J. de Forest, Indian River, North Arm of Inlet (1908), oil on De Forest was not a Modernist landscape canvas painter nor was he a member of the Group of Seven; however, he was their contemporary. Like other Canadian painters, Paul Peel, George Reid and James Wilson Morrice, he had studied drawing and painting at the Academy Julien in Paris, but unlike the Group of Seven he did not achieve national recognition. His realistic depictions of the nat- ural landscape were perhaps taken for granted because, after all, to view the real thing all one had to do was wander off into the natural environment. Canada has a rich and continuing tradition of realism in landscape painting dating back to the arrival of the first European-trained artists of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Some of these ear- ly practitioners were professional soldiers trained by the military in topographical landscape painting. Others were members of the religious community idealizing the landscape for purposes aligned with the conversion of the indigenous peoples to Christianity. The audience for Canadian landscape painting has been fractured and hesitant, subjected to regional discrep- ancies as to the cultural significance of landscape pictures. The Group of Seven and their contemporaries are per- haps the most well-known group of Canadian landscape painters, but there were others like de Forest who were just as committed, practicing in places far removed from the cultural hubs of Montreal and Toronto. Unfortunately (or fortunately) these artists did not receive the recogni- tion they deserved perhaps due to the absence of a recep- tive audience. Photograph of Indian River, north arm of the inlet, as it As Canadians we know what landscape art is and what is today it means. However, it appears we have a strong preference for regional interpretations, perhaps due to the socio-political differences of audiences from coast to coast. In a very real sense the diversity of the audience influences and determines our collective understanding of landscape art. No, Canadians are not afraid of historic landscape art because for us, it represents the familiar, which we often politely ignore and frequently take for granted, just as we sometimes do, the vastness and terrible beauty of the land we inhabit.

The principle focuses on innovative design con- cepts to aid rapid urban growth settlements all over the world, address- ing the quality of life in informal population centers. Proposed projects like alternative housing design, low-cost clean water, transportation Digital drum in a 90% city solutions and innovative infrastructure and planning are meant to cre- ate solutions to the challenges of everyday problems.

AARON YASSIN: BEIJING Chambers@916, Portland, Aug 2-Sep 22 Built from images of iconic buildings in Beijing, Aaron Yassin’s latest exhibit of photomontages includes mesmerizing interpretations of architecture that spans hundreds of years. His kaleidoscopic style of mirroring and repeating a photograph into seemingly infinite Aaron Yassin abstractions gives a sense of skewed perspective and disassociates the final composition from the initial source imagery. The exhibit also includes a video piece titled REM, which was created from images of the China Central Television Headquarters building. MARY JOSEPHSON: ONCE UPON A TIME Laura Russo Gallery. Portland, Sep 6-29 For her new body of work, Mary Josephson expands upon reoccurring motifs of stylized portraits and vivid scenes that express the human experience. The long-time Portland artist depicts people and characters through story-like arrangements that suggest rich personalities. Known for her colourful and metaphorical figurative Mary Josephson paintings, Josephson has also utilized other media to create her vision. This show includes recent glass tile mosaics and lush dense embroideries also rendered in Josephson’s spirited style of personal narrative.

DAVID SELLECK Blackfish Gallery, Portland, Sep 4-29 David Selleck’s whimsical world of biomorphic objects and somewhat architectural spaces seem part formal and part whimsical. His paintings are surreal conglomerations drawn from oddities and absurdities that swirl through daily life. Filtered through Selleck’s artistic lens, both humour and psychology materialize in the offbeat personality of his compositions. An indirect reflection on the state of contemporary David Selleck affairs, Selleck’s interpretations of life are warm and quirky, while the alternative reality of his paintings seems quite serious.

THE BODY BEAUTIFUL Portland Art Museum, Portland, Oct 6-Jan 6 This exhibit of Ancient Greek and Roman sculpture comes to the U.S. from the British Museum in London, which has one of the most comprehensive collection of antiquities from the Classic world – ranging in date from the Greek Bronze Age around 3200BC to the 4th century AD in the reign of the Roman emperor Constantine. Pieces on exhibit, drawn from this rarely travelling collection, por- tray the human body in exquisitely carved marble sculptures and oth- er thought-provoking art objects with figurative depictions. The Body Beautiful www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 63 www.whiterockgallery.com Renato Muccillo: Chronicles WHITE ROCK GALLERY, WHITE ROCK, BC – Oct 19-28, 2012 Renato Muccillo is a British Columbia artist formerly known for highly-detailed, realistic prints of Canadian wildlife. In recent years he has turned to more impressionistic landscapes based on source photos taken on his BlackBerry and reworked on a laptop in his studio. From his home in Maple Ridge, BC, he has explored the dykes and marshes of the Lower Mainland of BC and the North and South Arms of the Fraser River. The pieces in this exhibit range in size from a diminutive 5 square inches to 36 x 36 inches, with a few as large as 48 x 72 inches. The most interest- ing features of Muccillo’s work are his compositions, with their oblique views of Renato Muccillo, Silver Veil (2012), oil on canvas [White Rock Gallery, White Rock BC, Oct 19-28] landscapes cut very high or very low by the horizon, and his choice of subject matter: pond scum, gummy tidal pools, ditches, dull marshes and river bracken. Muccillo infuses these humble surroundings with an ethereal light that creates luminous reflections, lends depth to foggy and surreal distant forests, and emphasizes the impressive cloud formations. With their quality of preternatural stillness, the paintings capture his experience of being “the only person on the planet”. Now in his late 40s, Muccillo prefers to be considered self-taught and not influenced by other artists. A member of the Federation of Canadian Artists (FCA), he received three awards in 2003 at juried shows. Mia Johnson

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 65 www.elizabethleach.com Richard Serra: Etchings ELIZABETH LEACH GALLERY, PORTLAND OR – Sep 6-29, 2012 Richard Serra is one of the most well known living artists creating large public works. His monumental steel sculptures appear in many cities internationally and throughout the U.S., like his piece at Olympic Sculpture Park in Seattle. The American artist, now in his early 70’s, studied art at Yale University in the early 1960s and was taught early on by artists like Josef Albers and Philip Guston. Serra is recognized primarily for his mature style of minimalist sculptures on an immense scale. Within his many site-specific pieces, themes of weight, balance and the collection of space continue to run throughout his work. In his two-dimensional pieces Serra manages to achieve a parallel artistic principle; a similar weighty feeling is present in his drawings and print work that recall the grandiose feeling of his outdoor pieces. This current show of etchings includes bold ener- getic compositions where dramatic dark forms fill the picture-plane with a very minimal gesture. His prints are embellished with a variety of dense surface textures drawn from sources like stucco walls and asphalt paved © 2011 RICHARD SERRA AND GEMINI G.E.L.

Contemporary subjects look like they were photographed a century ago. Carrillo’s moody black and white portraits of Seattle artists and critics certainly capture distinct individual personalities. The process of slowly expos- Daniel Carrillo ing a glass plate reveals warm, vintage-looking prints that have the feel of the photographer’s “hand” at work to uniquely create each piece – a skill often overlooked in the age of digital photography. THE RECORD: CONTEMPORARY ART AND VINYL Henry Art Gallery, Seat- tle, Jul 14-Oct 7 This exhibit explores the intersection between visual art, music and the culture of vinyl records within the context of con- temporary art. The exhibition pieces show how the vinyl medium – valued for its warm, analogue listening quality, as well as the rich histo- ry of album cover art – was preserved, transformed or manipulated Christian Marclay through art from the 1960s to the present. Contemporary artists use video, performance and sound art, as well as painting, photography and sculpture, with a wide range of approaches from outsider art to fine art to popular culture. THE MARIONI FAMILY: RADICAL EXPERIMENTATION IN GLASS AND JEW- ELRY Tacoma Art Museum, Tacoma, Jun 9-Sep 23 This exhibit cele- brates the well-deserved artistic legacy of Paul Marioni and his two children, Dante and Marina Marioni. Paul is well known as an innova- tor in glass art. His son Dante is recognized for expanding upon meth- ods of the Venetian tradition to create a variety of elegant and vibrant Marina Marioni vessels. Marina Marioni’s ingenuity as a self-taught jewelry artist has taken shape through her use of alternative materials and pop culture inspirations, showcasing wit and a sense of humour.

ANN MORRIS: CROSSINGS Lisa Harris Gallery, Seattle, Sep 6-30 Ann Morris’s new series of boat forms are expressive of life’s many journeys. The Lummi Island artist resides on a large art-filled property that influ- ences her creativity. Morris has been collecting beautiful found natural objects for years. Crossings utilizes many of these objects in slender ves- sels made from combinations of gathered materials like twigs, sea kelp, horsetail and wasp nest paper. Embellishments of sinew, bone and tree roots create intricate detailed artwork to larger pod-like forms, giving each one piece a different emotional personality. Ann Morris THE SPACE BETWEEN THINGS Prographica, Seattle, Sep 22-Oct 27 There is a formal relationship between a rendered subject and the composi- tional space that exists around it. The pieces on exhibit deal with the premise that objects describe space, just as pauses or silent inflections would mean nothing without sound. The group show includes seven artists: Marsha Burns, Eric Elliott, Ann Gale, Caroline Kapp, Robert Maki, Jordan Wolfson and Evelyn Woods. Woods’ pieces are a partic- ularly good illustration of the space between things as she works from dark to light, using an eraser and sandpaper to define space. Evelyn Woods www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 67 www.bellevuearts.org Bold Expressions: African American Quilts from the Collection of Corrine Riley BELLEVUE ARTS MUSEUM, BELLEVUE WA – Jun 14-Oct 7, 2012 Corrine Riley was a textile student at the Art Institute of Chicago in the 1970s where her exposure to Modernist painting styles led to a personal interest in collecting quilts that had a similar aesthetic to the ideals of Geometric Abstraction and other bold paintings of the era. Seemingly an early homage to these painting styles, the stunning quilts from the American South made between 1910 and the 1970s reveal aspects of design that manifested largely from necessity. Work Clothes Quilt (1940s) is a stellar example of repurposing used clothing at a time that pre- ceded socially responsible recycling principles. The colours and motifs of most of these pieces are not particularly aligned with traditional quilt making, yet they expand upon some of the most well-known traditional quilt patterns like Log Cabin and House Top. The folk art attributes of this large historical collection are as prominent as the intriguing compositional choices PHOTO: ANTHONY SCOGGINS/COLLECTION OF CORRINE RILEY CORRINE OF SCOGGINS/COLLECTION ANTHONY PHOTO: Improv Pattern of Triangles Quilt, Tennessee, that initially drew Riley to this very specific genre of quilts. 1930s, cotton [Bellevue Arts Museum, Bellevue Obtained during collecting excursions and other trav- WA, Jun 14-Oct 7] els to the American South, these quilts are unfortunately by anonymous creators, most were found at markets, antique shows, county fairs and similar venues in places like Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia and East Texas.

TO MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY CRAFT www.ggibsongallery.com Hector Acebes: Africa 1948-1953 G. GIBSON GALLERY, SEATTLE, WA – SEP 6-29, 2012 These recently rediscovered images of Hector Acebes reveal a photographic artistry that reflect how much African culture has changed since these striking photos were taken nearly 60 years ago. This important collection was published in an insight- ful 2004 monograph, which includes roughly 90 images from this unique juncture in history. Hector Acebes is now 91 years old and living in Bogotá, Colombia. As a young man, Hector Acebes travelled to Africa several times to document the inspiring people and cultures, landscape and vistas of the continent. He ended up in Africa, for the first time in 1947, as a matter of circumstance, after a filmmaking venture in Spain went awry. This first trip to Africa was followed by subsequent journeys that would greatly influence Acebes’ artistry as a photographer. After graduating from MIT and completing his service in the U.S. Army, he spent his young adult life pursuing a lifelong vocation of photography and film. In 1953 he had a jeep exported from the US to Africa and travelled solo starting in Dakar, Senegal, the western-most tip of the continent. During this Hector Acebes, Foula Woman, Guinea (1953), gelatin silver print, ambitious trip, Acebes explored villages in places like edition of 35 [G. Gibson Gallery, Seattle WA, Sep 6-29] Guinea, Mali, Nigeria, Chad and Cameroon, as well as regions of Congo, Kenya and Tanzania. Drawn to aesthetic elements like textural adornment and magnificent surroundings, Acebes saw his subjects through an inquisitive and respectful lens that admired the unique characteristics of another culture.
