April - May 2020 preview-art.com Halin de Repentigny, Last Burst of Light, 2019 Photo: Susan Stanley. Courtesy of Madrona Gallery. Dear Readers,

Thank you for your continued support of the arts in the Paciﬁc Northwest.

For over 30 years, Preview has helped art and museum aﬁcionados connect with artists’ works and featured exhibitions in Alberta, BC, Washington and Oregon. Since it is vital to continue to support the arts during the COVID-19 crisis, we have published our April-May issue online.

Galleries and museums have responded to the situation by temporarily closing their doors and postponing events, while our leading visual arts writers have continued to contribute their insightful reviews of exhibitions and programs. We at Preview have done our best to provide accurate information at the time of publishing; however, I strongly suggest you visit venue websites for updated schedules.

This issue is an important beacon for the visual arts. We appreciate that no virtual experience can equal a personal visit to a gallery, museum or artist’s studio. But until such visits are again possible, Preview can guide your search for art that inspires you at this time of self-isolation.

I should also mention that our magazine functions not only as a gallery guide and cultural advocate in the Paciﬁc Northwest; since 1986, it has been recognized by Library and Archives Canada as “a historical record of art produced in this area. Public and museum libraries collect and retain copies of Preview for their permanent archives.”

The arts on both sides of the border need our support now more than ever. Please share this online issue with your friends, family and community.

CERAMICA BOTANICA: A CONSTANT AND MISGUIDED OPTIMISM Alberta Craft Discovery Gallery, Edmonton. To Apr 18 Alberta artist Bridget Fairbank combines ceramics, painting and installation to chal- lenge viewers’ understanding of the everyday. In this exhibition, her ceramic tiles ask us to consider the place in the local ecosphere of the common plant forms she depicts. She references both indigenous and invasive species, from Indian paintbrush to BRIDGET FAIRBANK, LOW HANGING FRUIT: PEAR DETAIL, 2020 saskatoon berries, and from honeysuckle to goldenrod, to call up their associations, past and present, and to question our mutual struggle for survival in the future.

TAPE 158: NEW DOCUMENTS FROM THE ARCHIVES TRUCK Contemporary Art, Calgary. To Apr 25 Kandis Friesen’s mixed-media installation, which includes ﬁ ve-channel video, found objects and text, muses on the ways the body registers cultural identity, notions of nation- hood and the passing of time. Friesen builds her work on the foundation of a videotape KANDIS FRIESEN, 2016 2019 she encountered in the Mennonite Heritage Archives in Winnipeg. Shot 25 years ago INSTALLATION VIEW in a small village in southeastern Ukraine, the original tape provides the artist with the occasion to revisit the site and probe its architectural and narrative forms.

PAT SERVICE: A LARGER SILENCE Newzones Gallery of Contemporary Art, Calgary. To Apr 25 This new series of landscape paintings from Vancouver artist Pat Service represents both a road trip and a shift in palette. Hills, mountains and highways are rendered in gently ﬂ owing forms and subtle earth tones – and a deep, embracing silence is evoked. Clouds drift across the sky and haystacks occasionally dot the landscape as Service recalls, in her painting studio, the shapes and shades encountered on her PAT SERVICE, journey. “Colour, line, texture and composition are the players,” she writes in MOUNTAIN PASS 4, 2018 her statement.

CORNELIA HAHN OBERLANDER: GENIUS LOCI Art Gallery of Alberta, Edmonton. May 2 - Aug 9 This celebration of Canada’s most esteemed landscape architect includes photographs, drawings and architectural plans related to 14 projects undertaken by Cornelia Hahn Oberlander over her long career. The show focuses on four areas in which the Vancouver-based Oberlander, who was born in Germany and educated at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design, has distinguished herself: playgrounds, social housing, large public projects and smaller residential commissions. All reveal her CORNELIA HAHN OBERLANDER philosophy of bringing the natural and built environments into harmonious accord.

ENCLOSING SOME SNAPSHOTS: THE PHOTOGRAPHY OF JAMES BRADY Glenbow, Calgary. From Mar 21 James Patrick Brady was a political activist, writer, trapper, prospector – and photographer. Born in Strathcona, Alberta, in 1908, Brady began advocating for the Métis people of northern Alberta and Saskatchewan at a time, Sherry Farrell Racette has written, when they were “vulnerable to land loss and displacement.” Brady founded JAMES BRADY AND MADELEINE GOULET, ON A BARGE, SASKATCHEWAN, AUGUST a number of Métis organizations and helped inspire the Métis’ political resurgence. 1950.

10 APR - MAY 2020 H FIRST THURSDAY OR LATE OPENINGS Vivian Maier: In Her Own Hands GLENBOW, Calgary AB - To May 24 by Michael Turner Born in 1926 to a French mother and an Austrian father, Vivian Maier spent her ﬁ rst 25 years shuttling between her New York City birthplace and her mother’s family in France. In 1956, at the age of 30, Maier moved to Chicago’s a uent North Shore suburb, where for the next 40 years she worked as a nanny. On her days o , she secretly took pictures, usu- ally with a medium-format camera. Short- ly before her death in 2009, a number of these visually arresting and rarely shared pictures began to appear online. The story of how Maier’s pictures came into public view would be irrelevant if not Courtesy of Maloof Collection and Howard Greenberg Gallery, NY Courtesy of Maloof Collection and Howard Greenberg Gallery, Vivian Maier, May 16, Chicago, IL, 1957, photograph for their technical excellence and aes- © Estate of Vivian Maier thetic virtue. Fans of Maier will be familiar with Finding Vivian Maier (2013), the documentary co-directed by John Maloof, the former real estate agent who purchased the bulk of Maier’s 100,000-plus negatives at a Chicago auction house for $380. But for those new to Maier, just as well, for the stories her pictures tell rival those of better-known photographers Walker Evans, Diane Arbus and Robert Frank. Many of Maier’s pictures focus on the everyday lives of women, children, the elderly and the vulnerable. Occasionally we see evidence of the contrary: spectacular, rhythm-breaking events that remind us of our quiet reliance on transit schedules, shop hours and work shifts. In one picture, actor Kirk Douglas arrives at a theatre for the premiere screening of Spartacus (1960); in another, we see a fallen ﬁ gure, her head resting on a sheet of newspaper, while police and pedestrians look on. glenbow.org vivianmaier.com

14 APR - MAY 2020 H FIRST THURSDAY OR LATE OPENINGS Gary McMillan: Galapagos HARCOURT HOUSE, Edmonton AB - May 1 - June 6 by Michael Turner Between 1978 and 1980, Gary McMillan attended the University of Calgary, with a focus on science and fi ne art. Through- out the 1980s, he exhibited regionally inspired landscape paintings before completing his formal education at the Alberta College of Art and Design, graduating with distinction in 1991. In 2003, his practice shifted to fi gures in relation to the natural landscape – an intention- ally absurdist project that includes his most recent suite of “quasi-surrealistic” paintings and sculpture, Galapagos. Taking its title from the famed Pacifi c Ocean archipelago, where evolutionary scientist Charles Darwin, and later the National Geographic Society, introduced Gary McMillan, Drupulants, 2019, wood, cardboard, acrylic the world to the islands’ unique popu- paint, silk leaves lations of fl ora and fauna, Galapagos presents a confusion of human and natural forms in an e ort to activate narrative, our desire to extract a story from life’s seemingly disparate array of gestures and events. “Thematically, I’m inspired by the fi gure and by the idea of play and mischief,” writes McMillan in his artist’s statement. “The contrast between the nice and the not so nice informs much of my work, but rather than presenting a harsh vision of the world, I prefer nuanced misdirection and humour when dealing with unpleasantness.” Accompanying the exhibition is McMillan’s Galapagos Field Notes. In “Day 10 – Somnolents,” he writes: “Upon our return from today’s excursion in which we had come upon many perplex- ing scenes of native activity, the Captain informed me there was to be a festive cookout dinner. Within short order, our guide Olpar and some kitchen crew had erected the large solar refl ector grill. Soon they were prodding at large colourful native vegetables with long rods, turning them in the scorching heat.” Opening reception May 1, 7-10pm (check website for updates) harcourthouse.ab.ca

20 APR - MAY 2020 H FIRST THURSDAY OR LATE OPENINGS Donald Lawrence: Casting the Eye Adrift KAMLOOPS ART GALLERY, Kamloops BC - April 9 - June 27 by Michael Turner This retrospective exhibition brings together works in sculpture, video, photography and drawing, in addition to preparatory modelling and ephemera, by an artist whose practice spans 40 years. Based in Kamloops, B.C., Donald Lawrence teaches at Thompson Rivers Uni- versity; his research interests focus on the intersections of art, science and technology, particularly where they meet – and determine – concepts of “wilderness.” A common Donald Lawrence, One Eye Folly, 2008, camera obscura theme running through Lawrence’s work is the image and its capture. Recently, Lawrence has shifted his attention from experiential journeys with pinhole cameras to the history and endurance of the camera obscura. His large-scale public artwork Comet MMXVIII (2018) is one such work. Comprised of salvaged materials and “obsolete” technologies, Comet sits atop the entrance of the Thompson-Nicola Regional District building. For this exhibition, Lawrence produced a new camera obscura, which he placed on the canopy of the neighbouring Paramount Theatre, where viewers can experience it in person and in relation to camera obscura works in the gallery proper. Lawrence is a much-appreciated community fi gure and the recipient of numerous accolades. In 2017, he was the recipient of the Kamloops Mayor’s Award for the Arts – Artist of the Year, and he was the fi rst chair of the City of Kamloops’ Arts Commission. From 2013 to 2019, he led the Camera Obscura Project, a program of research funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council that involved students, emerging and established artists, and scholars from various disciplines. Following this exhibition, the KAG will produce an extensive monographic publication, to be launched in 2021.

Ceramic sculptures by Otto Kamensek. “Retirement from the working world permitted time to explore an old hobby I enjoyed as a child and young adult, namely visual art. Over the same 10-year period of arthritis volunteerism, I was honing my skills as a ceramic sculptor. I decided that I would let these two worlds collide and create a solo show called Shards, Bone Deep. This body of work (pun intended) explores the many different relationships with my arthritis. Clay is my creative release; it seems to complete a part of my life I have ignored for many years.” Otto Kamensek.

24 APR - MAY 2020 H FIRST THURSDAY OR LATE OPENINGS Brad McMurray: Pedestrian BURNABY ART GALLERY, Burnaby BC - April 3 - May 3 by Michael Turner “Cities have the capability of providing something for every- body,” wrote Canadian-Amer- ican urbanist Jane Jacobs, “only because, and only when, they are created by every- body.” For most of us, this is a proposition to live by; but for

Gift of Terry Munro Gift of Terry those who ask more of what it Brad McMurray, Burnaby, BC (detail), October 2015, archival C-print on means to create, the question paper. City of Burnaby Permanent Art Collection. is moot. Is creating a city the work of developers and local governments, or is it a social sculpture in search of a critic, a curator or, like Brad McMurray, an artist to make sense of? More than likely it’s both. Born in Penticton, B.C., in 1951, McMurray “attended some art schools” before setting out in the world, camera in hand. Cities were an attractive subject for many free-wheeling young men with cameras, particularly after curator William Jenkins' groundbreaking 1975 New Topo- graphics exhibition at the George Eastman House in Rochester, N.Y. In his current BAG exhibition, McMurray’s pictures provide evidence of the “idiosyncratic structures and designs of the urban and peri-urban environment” and how they determine the urban subject, in Burnaby and beyond. Interstitial and liminal zones constitute a common theme in McMurray’s pictures. Sometimes these zones feature contrasting interfaces of Nature and Culture, or, as in topiary (a common subject of the urban photographer), where the two fuse. Other interfaces include the meeting of residential and light-industrial areas, or markers such as railroad tracks that divide the city into “haves” and “have-nots.” For those interested in “reading” the city as McMurray does, he and curator Jennifer Cane have devised a one-hour walking tour of the Metrotown area and its industrial district. The event is free but requires registration (online or call 604-297-4422). Bring your camera!. Check website for updates.

His vividly hued and expressively painted works are often characterized by surreal juxtapositions of symbols and motifs – human, animal and mechanistic. Organized by Gallery Jones,

Initially, this shift manifested in the integration of clay or ﬁ bre into hybrid sculptural forms – to “make it new,” as Ezra Pound exclaimed in an e ort to vivify literature in the 1930s. But as interest in ceramics grew, so too did an interest in the medium’s fundamentals. Both Matthew Scott, Towers, 2019, slipcast ceramics innovation and tradition form the basis of Earthbound. This 15-person exhibition features a range of works by emerging artists of diverse practices and backgrounds, all of whom have studied and trained in British Columbia. Some, such as Mitra Mahmoodi, have taken to mounting their three-dimensional works on the wall. For Dora Chen, utilitarian objects like plates are given piercings and sport closed-hoop “earrings,” a gesture that extends beyond ornamentation to question the nature of language (is an earring still an earring if it is not attached to an ear?). In his curatorial statement, Anthony Dunlop writes: “With the earth as a framework, the very production of ceramics is working against the speed in which we consume in this contemporary moment. These objects halt the production line and necessitate a more localized making; they are objects requiring extended looking. Living in the age of digital communication and dissemination, ceramics are ever-present on digital platforms, [and] each artist engages with digital sharing uniquely. When new communities engage with the work, a new perspective on the land we share is formed.” lipontgallery.ca

Unlike white cube displays, where paintings are placed evenly along a horizontal line, Langmann’s exhibitions are hung salon style amid sideboards, mantel clocks, porcelain lamps and marble chess sets. This April, Langmann presents The Academ- ic Style, followed in May with Rep- Viggo Pedersen, Two Ladies Drinking Tea, oil on canvas resenting Rural Life. Most notable in The Academic Style is Marcus Stone’s canvas The Interrupted Duel. One of the most celebrated paintings in the Royal Academy exhibition of 1868, this highly theatrical work is set outside a horse stable, where a young cavalier, perhaps eager to avenge a slight, moves toward an older, more reserved gentleman. Standing in the younger man’s way, “his ladye-love.” Upon its debut, The Interrupted Duel received favourable notices from The Art Journal and the Illustrated London News, whose compliments extended to both the picture’s narrative composition and its subjects’ emotional state. Among the leading works in Representing Rural Life are the canvases of Viggo Pedersen (1854-1926). In Two Ladies Drinking Tea, a woman sits at the end of a cloth-covered side table, her head against her left hand, while another woman stands before her, cup in one hand, saucer in the other. Unlike the youth-driven confrontation in The Interrupted Duel, the women facing o in Pedersen’s picture are more evenly matched. Indeed, the more you look at this composition, the more you notice its subtle shifts in power. langmann.com

Using graphite, coloured pencil, ink and paper of various sizes, Ashoona documents exterior life in Kinngait, Baf- fi n Island, in addition to her highly imaginative interior world, inspired in part by comics, television and the internet. Ashoona comes from a family of artists. Pitseolak Ashoona is a grandmother, Sorosilooto Ashoona is her mother and Annie Pootigook a cous- in. When Preview asked her about the Shuvinai Ashoona, Untitled (Woman Giving Birth to the World), infl uence family members had on her 2010, fi neliner pen and coloured pencil on paper. artistic development, she replied: “I re- Collection of John and Joyce Price member pencils given to me, and small pieces of paper. My fi rst drawings were landscapes. I followed around my grandmother, and I watched my mother draw. I drew on paper, around where Annie used to live. Annie told me what to draw. We drew after school.” When asked about larger trajectories in her 30-plus-year career, such as her infrequent use of horizon lines, Ashoona said she makes skies “once in a while ... but I don’t put them where skies are supposed to go.” As for the recurrence of kelp forms: “I draw the kelp because they keep coming back.” On working with curators over that span, in particular their pairings of certain works and their relationship to each other, as in Untitled (Birthing Scene) (2013) and Greenlandic Man (2016), she replied: “They are cousins. They live far apart. Nancy brought them together.” As a fi nal question, Preview asked Ashoona if she had a response to a question not yet asked: “I would like my work to go to the places that come from TV and the [computer] games younger people play. Places like Europe.” vanartgallery.bc.ca

43 APR - MAY 2020 H FIRST THURSDAY OR LATE OPENINGS Lone Tratt: 50 Years of Printmaking DUNDARAVE PRINT WORKSHOP + GALLERY, Vancouver BC - April 1 - 26 by Michael Turner Originally from Denmark, Lone Tratt attained a bachelor’s degree from the School of Interior Design in Co- penhagen before moving to Montreal two years later, at the age of 23. She continued her studies at the Saidye Bronfman Centre and, over the next 40 years, taught drawing, painting and printmaking while pursuing a busy studio practice. Her paintings and prints have shown in Montreal, Lone Trattt, Twilight, 2014, etching New York, Winnipeg and Vancouver, and they are held in collections as far afi eld as Saudi Arabia. In 1991, Tratt moved to Vancouver, where she joined the Dundarave Print Workshop + Gallery and developed within its workshop a printmaking school, which she ran for 13 years. In addition to conveying the fi ner points of etching, drypoint and intaglio, Tratt’s lessons emphasized the more intangible aspects of artmaking: that no matter how technically profi cient we become, we are no match for the unlimited potential of the imagination. For Tratt, this unlimited- ness is held in the “multiple dimensions of Nature,” whose dramatis personae includes rock, water, trees and earth. Resonant works in this salon-style exhibition range from the trippy Look at the World – Look (1973), where a bearded gnome appears to inhale the natural world (in an e ort to breathe new life into it?), and The Rock that Binds Me (2011 ), in which a webbed sandstone bank appears to carry within its form the skull of the mind that imagined it. For those curious to see Tratt combine all four of her beloved subjects into a single work, look no further than Twilight (2014).

Purchased by National Gallery of Canada, 2011 “Our collection is very comprehensive,” NGC curator Ann Thomas told Whistler’s Pique Newsmagazine, “starting with not just the earliest examples of photography, but also the pre-history of photography.” Experiments in the prehistory of photography (capturing lightning strikes) can be found in Étienne Léopold Trouvelot’s Direct Photograph of an Electric Positive Spark (1888), where the artist coated a metal plate with a photosensitive material, retreated to the darkroom and applied to that plate a spark-inducing wand. From there Trouvelot etched the plate and printed its image (what is, in e ect, a cameraless double exposure). The experiment continues to be played out, most recently in Hiroshi Sugimoto’s Lightning Fields (2009), which appears beside Trouvelot’s Direct Photograph. Also in the exhibition are images by Diane Arbus, Edward Burtynsky, Julia Margaret Camer- on, Lynne Cohen, Camille Corot, Stan Douglas, Walker Evans, Anne Fishbein, Isabelle Hayeur, Fred Herzog, Spring Hurlbut, Arnaud Maggs, Man Ray, Yasumasa Morimura, Gary Schneider, Edward Steichen, John Vanderpant, David Wojnarowicz and Zhang Huan. On April 25, 2 to 4 pm, local photographer Chad Chomlack will lead a panel entitled Move- ment & the Still Image. Q&A to follow. Check website for updates. audainartmuseum.com

47 APR - MAY 2020 H FIRST THURSDAY OR LATE OPENINGS Maureen Gruben: TUKTUUYAQTUUQ (Caribou Crossing) LEGACY GALLERY, Victoria BC - May 2 - Aug 27 By Christine Clark Based in Tuktoyaktuk, N.W.T., Maureen Gruben is an Inuvialuk artist. Inuvialuit are Inuit who live in the western Canadian Arctic region. This is where Gruben grew up and to where she returned in Au- gust of 2019, after spending many years raising her family in Victoria. As a child, she grew up in a family who taught her traditional knowledge and skills. Gruben’s mother made her family’s clothing by hand and from her father she learned how to trap animals. These skills and materials taken from bears, seals and caribou are the basis of the artist’s contemporary work. Gruben is an artist-activist. Her latest work, TUKTUUYAQTUUQ (Caribou Crossing), pays homage to the caribou. For Inuvialuit, the caribou are necessary to life in the North, providing food and clothing for the people who hunt. In this exhibi- Maureen Gruben, 2020, photograph tion, Gruben created intricate pieces made from caribou heart and bone. Through her work, she introduces those of us living in the South to the wild open expanses, the silence, and the free-ranging animals of the northern landscape. How many of us have seen up close a swatch of caribou fur? Or a caribou heart? Gruben has created many works of sculpture, video and land art about communal living, personal ingenuity, and the deep respect people in the North have for their neighbours and for the animals and the environment they depend upon. She has been studying ﬁ ne arts since 1990, earning a BFA from the University of Victoria in 2012, and has received numerous scholarships and awards for her work. legacy.uvic.ca/index.html

52 APR - MAY 2020 H FIRST THURSDAY OR LATE OPENINGS David Merritt: aweigh EMPTY GALLERY, VICTORIA BC - To April 11 by Christine Clark London, Ontario–based sculptor and multimedia artist David Merritt is exhibiting one of his large, tornado-shaped sisal pieces at Victoria’s newest contemporary art space, Empty Gal- lery. Founded by Matt Trahan, Empty Gallery opened in April 2019 with a mandate to provide exhibition space for professional artists from across Canada. Merritt is a professor of visual arts at West- ern University and has exhibited his work widely. According to Trahan, this sisal piece, titled aweigh, does not have “specifi c dimensions. It will fi ll the entire height (12 feet) of the space and unravels outward as it rises from the fl oor.” First exhibited at the Art Gallery of Hamilton in 2010, aweigh is the third rendition of the original and is specifi c to the space at Empty Gallery. Merritt writes that his “multimedia practice explores the commonalities and fault lines Photo: Michael McNair between human and non-human systems. His David Merritt, aweigh, 2010-14, sisal process-driven, conceptually oriented work develops out of the material and performative possibilities of drawing’s expanded fi eld. Whether works on paper, sculptural or media based, the projects seek to actualize the dynamics of time – teasing out the urgencies, and emer- gences, of a common present placed on the cusp of disappearing.” Much of Merritt’s work appears to investigate natural objects and processes, such as wind- storms, the pooling of water or the growth patterns of twigs. Aweigh is especially evocative, bringing to mind visions of Dorothy and the Wicked Witch of the West suspended and cycling, around and around inside a tornado. Large storms, whether they bring snow or wind or rain, can be delightfully surreal, taking us into expected circumstances, and now, in the era of un- stoppable climate destruction, weather patterns remain awe-inspiring even as they grow more and more threatening. emptygallery.ca presentation: Apr 18, 2pm.

MEZZOTINT INVITATIONAL Davidson Galleries, Seattle. Apr 3 - May 30 The mezzotint is a print medium using strong black-and-white contrasts. The word means “halftone.” Invented by a German soldier in the 17th century and adopted by royal hobbyists, among others, the mezzotint uses a copper plate that has been scratched all over by a “rocker” tool, making the ground print dark black. Artists scrape into this darkness to reveal imagery.

56 APR - MAY 2020 H FIRST THURSDAY OR LATE OPENINGS Knowledge Bennett: Road to Damascus WESTERN GALLERY, Western Washington University, Bellingham WA - To May 2 by Matthew Kangas Art about art is not a new postmod- ern strategy, but Los Angeles artist Knowledge Bennett has taken on all postwar American art, from Abstract Expressionism to Pop Art, and manipu- lated famous paintings and iconic images to convey various atrocities and outrages perpetrated against Af- rican Americans. His stunning, large- scale silkscreened photo murals and paintings bring us up short to recog- Knowledge Bennett, Obama Cowboy (Magnifi cent Seven), nize fi gures from our own times in 2019, acrylic and silkscreen on canvas positions of acute urgency, alarm and political humor all at once. Western Gallery curator Hafthor Yngvason has contextualized Bennett’s magpie approach to art history by setting the original artists’ works copied or satirized beside Bennett’s grim parodies. Drawn from the permanent collection, works by New Yorkers Barnett Newman, Richard Serra and Andy Warhol complement the self-taught artist’s ruminations on how historical events of the period involving violations of civil rights, among other things, coexisted with a golden age of American modernism. For example, Warhol’s Chairman Mao series (1972-73) is commandeered to “perform” a gro- tesque insertion of Donald J. Trump’s face over Mao’s. Another Warhol, Elvis (1963), becomes Obama Cowboy (2019), a comment on the courage and beloved status of the former US president. Black Paintings (2020) echo works by proto-minimalist Newman, with two of his works on paper adjacent to Bennett’s large monochromes – loaded with glitter. In the centerpiece of the survey, Orange Is the New Black (2020), six large-scale works depict imprisonments, arrests, surveillance and presidential crimes to make a point about executive crimes (Nixon, Reagan, Clinton) occurring simultaneously with law enforcement e orts to detain and incar- cerate young Black men. Such juxtapositions are Bennett’s brilliant contribution to a ragged historical record. westerngallery.wwu.edu particular approach to making (RARE)!

59 APR - MAY 2020 H FIRST THURSDAY OR LATE OPENINGS Deon Venter: Missing / Highway of Tears SAN JUAN ISLANDS MUSEUM OF ART, Friday Harbor WA - To May 25 by Robin Laurence Violence against women is a shocking phenomenon that, in recent years, has preoccupied not only human rights activists but also novelists, dramatists, ﬁ lmmakers and choreogra- phers. The subject has made its way into the realm of visual art too, as exempliﬁ ed by two series of paintings, Missing and

Photo: David Borrowman Highway of Tears, by Salt Spring Deon Venter, Missing #9 - Pyramid #2, oil on canvas Island painter Deon Venter. Often working with images extracted from the media, Venter compels our attention toward two of British Columbia’s most notorious examples of gender-based violence. These are the missing and murdered women of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside and also along Highway 16 between the cities of Prince Rupert and Prince George. In Vancouver, many women have been identifi ed as victims of serial killer Robert “Willie” Picton; all were sex-trade workers and a disproportionate number, Indigenous. Along what has become known as the Highway of Tears, the murdered and missing are also Indigenous, most of them teenage girls obliged to hitchhike because no safe transportation is available to them. Crimes against these girls have gone unsolved, again speaking to the issue of violence against those little valued by mainstream society. Venter’s fi rst series of large oil paintings features portraits of the missing and murdered set within geometric grid patterns, the images broken up by his method of alternating thick and thin passages of pigment. In the second series, the artist alternates individual portraits with paintings of fl owers, referenced to poems by Mary Oliver. Local as Venter’s references initially appear to be, they also function as startlingly universal, confronting us with the reality of sys- temic violence against women and girls in every corner of the world. sjima.org

BAINBRIDGE ISLAND MUSEUM OF ART, Bainbridge Island WA - To June 7 by Matthew Kangas Unique among American art museums, Bainbridge Island Museum of Art’s most precious holding is the Artist’s Book Collection established by Cynthia Sears. It is stored and displayed in the Sherry Grover Gallery upstairs, where periodic exhibitions allow visitors to see and, most importantly, to handle certain books and examine this unusual art form. Sometimes using original texts and occasionally drawing upon other writers – famous and unknown – artists’ books take many forms, all of Emily Martin & Ellen Knudson, All Sorts, 2015, letterpress printed which are demonstrated in All from photopolymer plates, tunnel book structure. Sorts (No Licorice!), the latest it- Collection of Cynthia Sears, Gift of the University of Florida, eration of examples from this rich, Gainesville unparalleled hoard of treasures. Although artists’ books are held in libraries and art galleries, few are open to the public for inspection, analysis and participation. These are books that are only ignited or “read” when opened and examined, like a real book, but instead of a conventional narrative, they often take the reader on an imaginative journey with sculptural, literary and photographic dimensions. Specially trained docents are often present in the Grover Gallery to assist viewers; they can explain bookmaking materials and processes, some of which are quite complicated, including hand-sewing, binding, handmade papers and elaborate container boxes. This is a hands-on counterpart (with protective gloves when necessary) to the “Please do not touch” signs in most rare-book libraries or art museums. BIMA founder and trustee Cynthia Sears spent decades assembling her collection, which makes BIMA di erent as an art museum. Her openness to an overlooked art form has led to greater acceptance of artists’ books among art collectors. It has also spurred artists who might not otherwise make their own books to undertake this rewarding artistic endeavor. biartmuseum.org

DANIEL DUFORD: JOHN BROWN'S VISION ON THE SCAFFOLD Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at PSU, Portland. To May 16 Daniel Duford has worked in graphic novels and sculpture but here we see his narrative paintings. He looks at the slavery abolitionist John Brown, inspired by a visit to Harpers Ferry, W.Va., the site of Brown’s raid on the federal armory. Duford explores modern politics and the concept of activism by painting historical ﬁ gures as if they were seated in his studio. The trees represent not just rings of duration but the

BURY THE HATCHET: PRAYER FOR MY P’AH-BE Center for Contemporary Native Art, Portland Art Museum. To Sep 6 John Hitchcock’s mixed-media installation combines his interests in printmaking, rock ’n’ roll, and Kiowa and Comanche history and takes on the story of the American frontier. The peg is Bu alo Bill’s Wild West show, but the hatchet is aimed at White supremacy and what theorists call the supremacy of the written word. Sounds include pedal steel guitar, cello, clarinet, accordion, guitars by the band the Stolen Sea, and reworkings of Native American songs, all collected on a 12-inch vinyl album available in the gift shop.

68 APR - MAY 2020 H FIRST THURSDAY OR LATE OPENINGS Southern Rites: Photographs by Gillian Laub OREGON JEWISH MUSEUM AND CENTER FOR HOLOCAUST EDUCATION, Portland OR - To May 24 by Joseph Gallivan Gillian Laub went to Montgomery County, Georgia, and photographed the high school proms, which in the 2000s were still segregated. Her pictures were published in Spin magazine, where they seemed like an un- believable oddity, and in the New York Times Magazine in 2009, where they seemed like a national crisis. In 2010, the proms were integrated, and Laub can take some of the credit. Laub kept returning to her subjects,

There are shots of interracial couples, gay couples, and groups of people merrily getting ready for their big party. The point of view is mostly White, in that the Black people are only quoted about how they relate to White society. Laub, who is Jewish, had her cameras confi scated by a White police o cer and her tires slashed as some townsfolk objected to her presence. As you round a corner the exhibition takes a dark twist, focusing on an older White man (a classic bald “redneck”) who shot dead a Black teenage boy. A video screen plays his 911 call and he explains what happened. He heard noises in his daughter’s room at 3 am. He went in and two Black boys were sitting on her bed with her. He ordered them at gunpoint into the living room. When they bolted he shot one of them with his .22 rifl e. The boy died. During the 911 call the dispatcher asks him if he needs an ambulance and he says no, he is just a little scratched up.

70 APR - MAY 2020 H FIRST THURSDAY OR LATE OPENINGS Steve Tilden: Scraps in Transition Stephan Soihl: Small Kinetic Sculptures Howard Neufeld: Structure and Chaos BLACKFISH GALLERY, Portland OR - May 5 - 30 by Allyn Cantor The three artists in this show have very different approaches to the mechanics of sculpture and space, informed greatly by both method and media. Steve Tilden is known for his work with welded steel and various mixed materials. His current pieces are more mini- mally constructed than past artworks. Using shaped metal and spot welding techniques, the artist creates an implied gesture and volume in his subjects, which mostly feature horse and animal forms as well as legendary characters from Greek mythology like Icarus and Cerberus. Many of these sculptures are collaborations with glass artist Jen Fuller, who shares studio space with Tilden. Fuller adds delicately cast glass elements to Til- Steve Tilden, Frisky Little Horse, 2020, welded steel den’s rugged metal foundations. The duality of materials creates a striking conversation within these compelling pieces. Stephan Soihl’s kinetic sculptures pay homage to the principles of physics. He uses Plexi- glas forms fi lled with colored oils that shift, rotate and tilt, mobilizing the viscous material. Set into precisely contoured brass forms, these formal works are animated with the use of micro-controllers, electrical motors, pumps and solar panels that together create a time-based movement. The mesmerizing pieces have a minimalist beauty that plays with refracted light, recalling the relationship between science and art. Howard Neufeld, a recently retired long-time professor at Mt. Hood Community College, makes sculptural paintings that refl ect upon the balance of chaos and order. His artworks imply motion through controlled painted forms that draw upon principles of geometry and formal aesthetics. Neufeld uses non-objective abstraction to coalesce the intrinsic forces that push between fractal geometry, structure and visual perception. blackfi sh.com

ART AFTER DARK: 10 YEARS OF URBANSCREEN chronicles the past decade of exhibitions at Canada’s largest permanent outdoor venue for new-media art. Projected at night on an exterior wall of the Chuck Bailey Recreation Centre in Surrey, B.C., Urban- Screen works have included photographs, videos, ﬁ lms, text and animation, sometimes complemented by sound and interactive components.

Hardcover, 149 pp., C$35. Available at Surrey Art Gallery, 604-501-5566.

SHUVINAI ASHOONA: LIFE & WORK, by independent scholar and curator Nancy Campbell, focuses on this most original of northern artists. Born and based in Kinngait (Cape Dorset), Ashoona is internationally acclaimed for her mixed-media drawings combining the fantastical and the everyday. Campbell documents the artist’s personal history and working methods, and investigates her extravagant- ly imaginative imagery, from birthing mothers to sinking ships to multi-coloured monsters with bulging eyes, curling tentacles and blue toes. Published by the Art Canada Institute and available online: aci-iac.ca. Also available in hardcover print edition, 127 pp., C$40, at the Vancouver Art Gallery Store, 604-662-4706.

THROUGH HER EYES: WORKS FROM OUR PERMANENT COLLECTION is the catalogue to the recent exhibition at the Kelowna Art Gallery. An essay by the show’s guest curator Corinna Ghaznavi illuminates her selections from the KAG’s holdings: primarily landscapes by 14 Canadian women artists, historic and contemporary. They include Ann Kipling, Daphne Odjig, Faye HeavyShield and Erin Shirre , working in everything from watercolour to video to mixed-media sculpture. Ghaznavi asks us to consider the “particular perspectives and sensibilities that women bring to landscape art.” Softcover, 64 pp., C$15. Available at the Kelowna Art Gallery, 250-762-2226.

STRAIT ART: AN ANTHOLOGY OF EXHIBITIONS FROM THE UPPER LEFT HAND CORNER is a beautiful new publication highlighting a collection of essays written and compiled by Jake Seniuk (1949-2016), the former director of the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center in Washington. This large volume includes over 40 essays and more than 300 illustrations that capture Seniuk’s poetic vision and curatorial sensibility on prominent artists from the Paciﬁ c Northwest. Book readings are planned throughout the spring in Seattle, Port Townsend, Bainbridge Island and Port Angeles. Hardcover, 275 pp., US$60. Available at the Museum of Northwest Art, 360-466-4446.

JOHN BUCK: ICONOGRAPHY is a monograph highlighting works from throughout the artist’s career. It includes a complete catalog raisonné of prints from 1980 to 2007 as well as representative wood sculptures, a selection of shadowbox-like wood panels, and examples from his little-known glass jar series. Buck’s lyrical artworks are illuminated in over 100 color illustrations. Thoughtful essays by Ben Mitchell, Eleanor Heartney, John Yau and Bud Shark contextualize works by the Montana-based artist. Hardcover, 144 pp., US$40. Available at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art, Salem, 505-370-6855.
