2019_NDJ_Final.indd 29 2019-10-23 6:52 PM Malleable: Changing Notions of Women IL MUSEO AT THE ITALIAN CULTURAL CENTRE, Vancouver BC - To Dec 10 by Michael Turner Malleable is the third and fi nal group exhibition in Il Museo’s Gendered Voices, an ambitious and timely series devoted to the exploration of “contemporary and historic narratives about women, relationships and gender.” Where pre- vious iterations have focused on women’s la- bour (textiles) and status (marriage), Malleable features the work of 21 women artists working in clay. Notable pieces include Cinderella (2010) by Amy Chang, a foot- high sculpture of a severed yellow foot with a tiny glass “slipper” placed above the ankle. Never mind that the foot is 10 times larger than the slipper; it is the labour- worn, splay-toed state of this foot that, even if it were the same size as the shoe placed atop it, makes it (not the shoe) an impossible fi t. In Louise Solecki Weir’s Entangled (2019), Amy Chang, Cinderella, 2010, clay, a mermaid reaches from the water, her hair underglaze, glass pulled above her by an errant section of net- ting. Although the gesture lends itself to a recognition of our increasingly polluted waters, it is also an indictment of those who assume that a woman’s beauty is both her punishment and her salvation. Another work that features women in abbreviated form is The Return (2019), by Georgina F. Lohan. What at fi rst appears to be a forest of porcelain birch trees carries within one of its trees the face of a woman. Whether the “return” in question concerns this woman’s desire to join those approaching this forest or her reintegration within it is open to debate. italianculturalcentre.ca

This historic building’s rede- velopment, completed in 2018, integrat- ed a 31-storey tower addition.

The room was barely visible in the shadowy light and thick layers of dust. Forty-eight dirty, darkened paintings spanned the peaked ceiling. Broken ornamental mo- tifs crowned a damaged and grimy frieze of coiled designs. Faux-painted moulding extended above the polished stone walls. The three elevators’ carved lintels were blemished by chips, losses and old repairs. A damaged and crudely repaired postal chute was tucked in a corner. The east and west gables above the lobby entrances were covered by plywood, thick layers of adhesive and lead-based paint with cohesion problems. Areas had been sledgehammered. Along with other types of damage, a large plaster architectural element had been removed. Heritage projects at redevelopment sites need diverse support and collaboration to make them possible, involving a building’s owner, city planning departments, developers, architects, heritage consultants, redevelopment personnel, the conservator and more. In this case, developer SwissReal Group CEO Franz Gehriger was personally committed to preserving this jewel of a lobby. Conserv-Arte was the on-site project manager and carried out extensive and multidisciplinary hands-on conservation work, with assistance from master plasterer Lloyd Cutting, Donald Luxton & Associates and others. The Exchange has received recognition and heritage awards, including the City of Vancouver Heritage Award of Honour.

However, those familiar with Cindy Sherman know that it is never simply a

All her life Sherman has been dressing up, donning masks, going to work “in character”; it was only as a photographer that she began to take these personae seriously – to the point where she is now among the best-known artists of the 20th century. Sherman’s breakthrough work – the work that history will best remember her for – is Untitled Film Stills (1977-80), a series of 69 black-and-white photographs in which the artist performs a number of stereotypical feminine roles (o ce secretary, sexpot, homemaker) common to 1950s and ’60s fi lm noir. For Sherman, these are the roles that have contributed most to how women register in the cultural imagination. In this long overdue exhibition, organized by London’s National Portrait Gallery, viewers can expect to see over 40 years of work by an artist who, as UK critic Adrian Searle points out in a recent Guardian article, “gives us introspection, absorption, an unassailable and unknowable sel ood, even one we know is false.” As for Sherman’s relationship to the aforementioned sub-genre, Searle has this to say: “She cuts through the smug self-conscious vanities of the selfi e to show us bleak and desperate insecurities.” vanartgallery.bc.ca

JUNE SEKIGUCHI: THE PULSE OF WATER ArtXchange Gallery, Seattle. To Nov 30 Based on her experiences on the Mekong River and in Luang Prabang, Laos, June Sekiguchi’s immersive installation consists of wood and paper cut into myriad con- fi gurations emulating the fl ow of river water, demonstrating how water is a connec- tive material that unites communities and economies. A bamboo footbridge at the center allows visitors to enter an imaginary world evoking Asian cultures that revere JUNE SEKIGUCHI, handicrafts such as weaving and paper-cutting. Sekiguchi’s art has also been seen in KITE GOLD DETAIL , 2019 Chicago, Cambodia, Morocco and Sweden. PHOTO: ROZARII LYNCH
MARIA PHILLIPS: HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT Bellevue Arts Museum, Bellevue. To Mar 8, 2020 In contrast to her metal work shown in the museum’s craft biennial, Metalmorphosis (2016), Phillips’ new work consists of materials accumulated from the daily consump- tion habits of her family over the span of a year. Other objects were recovered from beaches in India, Iceland, Canada and the US. This exercise has produced a startling inventory that has been, as Phillips notes, “an opportunity to consider, catalog and evaluate our relationship with consumer items.” All this – and they’re necklaces!

Tatehana’s designs and craftsman- ship are an incredible mix of past, present and future. In a wide range of practices, he looks at Japanese aesthetic history, blend- ing classic and modern forms that honor the traditional craft of his country while having futuristic aspirations. This exhibition includes works in various media, such as his exaggerated large-scale hairpin sculptures, a series of cloud paint-
Photo: Jonathan Ley ings, several pairs of his famous heel-less Noritaka Tatehana, Camellia Fields, 2019 shoe designs and works from the Floating World series. Recalling his youth in Japan’s historical capital of Kamakura, the installation Camellia Fields is especially striking in its sim- ple, powerful portrayal of a Japanese view of life and death. Before the modern era in Japan, camellia trees were planted in the gardens of temples and samurai residences. On a visit to his hometown, Tatehana experienced how the petals had fallen from one large camellia tree as whole fl owers, leaving a red circle of blossoms highlighting the contours of its roots. This poetic refl ection is the basis for Camellia Fields. Tatehana studied Japanese craft along with fi ne art at Tokyo University of the Arts. The pro- cess, materials and methods of things like dyeing, weaving and embossing are at the core of all his artworks and designs. In the world of fashion art he is renowned for the heel-less platform shoes designed for Daphne Guinness and Lady Gaga.
