8 NOV 2020 - JAN 2021 Jon Sasaki: Killing One Bird with Half a Stone ESKER FOUNDATION, Calgary AB - To Dec 19 by Michael Turner Toronto-based “Romantic concep- tualist” Jon Sasaki is a multidis- ciplinary artist working in video, photography, performance and installation. His current exhibition, comprised of works produced over the past 10 years, provides exam- ples of the artist’s long-standing interest in failure and futility – only now, in our Covidian moment, works

Among the earliest works in the exhibition is Ladder Stack (2009). In this 2:05-minute video loop the artist is seen scaling the gallery’s white wall using a succession of four-step aluminum ladders, stacking one atop another. To Change a Lightbulb (2017) is motivated by a similar im- pulse: rather than simply replace a burned-out bulb (or, in the case of Ladder Stack, purchase a longer ladder), the artist opens the fi xture and reconnects the broken fi lament – a gesture that does not recirculate the bulb as a source of household illumination but reminds us, albeit briefl y, of the life it once possessed. Sasaki’s most recent work is Improvised Travel Adapters (2018-present), an ongoing proj- ect that has the artist MacGyvering international electrical sockets with conducive materials such as safety pins, paper clips and nail fi les to meet the needs of North American power supplies. These works, produced as digital photographs, function as still lifes, and as such suggest a context that allowed for their arrangement. That this context relates to the life of the globe-trotting artist is further suggestive of a life that, like the life of the incandescent light bulb, decreases with each passing day – not through the planned obsolescence of its manu- facturer, but through mounting travel restrictions brought on by our global pandemic. eskerfoundation.com prints, textiles, and a series of eight Founders' Gallery exhibition details Canada’s wartime holograms, ranging in date from The Military Museum involvement through personalized the 1940s-2000s.

Dec 5, 2020 - Feb 14, 2021 From weaving to woodworking to furniture-making, Anne Low investigates the ways in which meanings are embedded within – or detached from – domestic and deco- rative objects. In her SAAG installation, Low has created works that occupy any num- ber of “in-between states.” A handmade crate in which an artwork is shipped to the gallery may become a platform for that object’s display, while packing materials such as hay and fabric salvage take their own place within the context of the exhibition.

The three artists featured here – Leanne M. Christie of Coquitlam, Sara Graham of Port Moody and Devon Knowles of Vancouver – employ painting, photography and concept-driven stained glass to interpret and convey architectural Leanne M.

Inside, the foyer’s stone fl oors lead to the lobby’s en- trance underneath an unadorned east gable, and to a view of the opposite wall’s ornate west gable. In earlier times this west gable directed the way to the VSE trading fl oor; it also visually introduced the lobby’s elaborate upper space. Gables are triangular walls above passageways that extend to a peaked ceiling. Rehabilitating the west gable required specialized work and thousands of hours. Hidden under plywood and layers of debris, large areas of this gable had been damaged or de- stroyed. The doorway’s header structural support was missing. A central faux-window with original grillwork was heavily damaged and its decorative plasterwork gone.

As additional cleaning removed layers of grime, the original blue stencil design re-emerged. The gable was structurally reinforced, and areas rebuilt. The faux-window’s architectural plasterwork was replicated. Repairing the gable’s holes and missing sections re- quired meticulous e orts using textured plastering and inpainting reconstruction techniques for its decorative hand-painted fi nishes. The gable’s painted silver and blue stenciled surface uses the same materials and techniques as for the ceiling’s paintings.

Crawford As founding director of the bien- nial Salt Spring National Art Prize, I am very pleased to announce the opening of the call for sub- missions on January 1 for SSNAP 2021/2022, o ering over $30,000 in awards. Next fall’s will be the fourth Finalists’ Exhibition, and the show’s growth into one of the pre- mier Canadian art events is a testi- mony to both the need of Canadian artists for this opportunity and the Ronald T. Crawford, founding director of the biennal hard work of a dedicated group of Salt Spring National Art Prize volunteers, artists, and community members of Salt Spring Island. Right from the beginning, SSNAP was created by artists for artists. It was from these initial conversations that I realized the idea of SSNAP. Unlike other national art platforms, SSNAP is not government funded and not supported by a major corporation. We are largely funded by a group of donors who believe in the event’s importance and are involved in its production. The emphasis is on the work submitted itself, not on the professional resumé of the artist. We have both emerging and established artists showing together. This is unique on the national stage. The event aims to give artists here on Salt Spring Island the opportunity to see new and diverse artistic expression while at the same time inviting artists across the country to expe- rience one of the most creative communities in the world. I believe that in this di cult time we fi nd ourselves in as Canadians and as artists, the support that fl ows between artists and community becomes more important than ever. saltspringartprize.ca

WOMEN & WARTIME: DEFENDING NORTH VANCOUVER, 1939-1945 North Vancouver Museum & Archives, North Vancouver. nvma.ca/virtual-exhibits Through archival photographs and historical documents, this online exhibition traces the important roles women played in North Vancouver during World War II. Whether enlisted in the armed forces or working in shipyards and factories, women made a huge contribution to the war e ort. However, because of the internment of Japanese Canadians from 1942 to 1949 and the confi scation of their property, also documented here, the show is as much about the shameful wartime treatment of some community Photo: North Vancouver Museum members as it is about the empowerment of others. & Archives, NVMA 861

BOARDER X Nanaimo Art Gallery, Nanaimo. To Nov 15 Organized by the Winnipeg Art Gallery and curated by Jaimie Isaac, this lively exhibi- tion spotlights 12 Indigenous artists who surf, skate and snowboard – and use these activities to challenge conformity and navigate their terrain. Through a range of me- dia, from painting and carving to performance and video, the artists critique the status quo while a rming their cultural identities and their enduring connection to the land.

PIERRE COUPEY: WALKING THE CAT BACK Gallery Jones, Vancouver. To Nov 21 Senior abstractionist Pierre Coupey is represented here by three bodies of work ex- ecuted on paper and canvas: Stanza, Winter Poem and Algonquin. As curator and museum director Darrin Martens has written, Coupey’s artistic practice draws from multiple disciplines – he is a painter, a poet, a printmaker, an editor and an educator. His large, splashy and brushy paintings reveal, among other infl uences, the work of revered Abstract Expressionists Joan Mitchell and Jean-Paul Riopelle. Pierre Coupey, Algonquin II, 2020

In addition to celebrating stories and visual materials, A Seat at the Table seeks to inspire a more diversifi ed understanding of what it means to be British Columbian or Canadian. The show was co-curated by Denise Fong, a doctoral student in interdisciplinary studies at UBC; Viviane Gosselin, curator and direc- Hollywood Café sta on opening day, Prince Rupert, 1946. tor of collections and exhibitions at Prince Rupert Archives, JRW1125B. Photo: John R. Wrathall MOV; and Henry Yu, professor in the Department of History, UBC. As much as this exhibition is rooted in traditional gallery display, featuring the work of emerg- ing and practising visual artists and cultural producers, it functions equally as a place of collec- tion and distribution. Visitors to the fi rst instalment at the Hon Hsing Athletic Club (site of the Chinese Canadian Museum project o ce) are encouraged to bring with them stories, images and objects relevant to their experiences as restaurant patrons and workers alike. Though mounted in B.C.’s Lower Mainland, A Seat at the Table is not limited to the histories of Vancou- ver’s Chinatown or Richmond’s Aberdeen Centre; it includes those from the province’s smaller, rural communities. For the Museum of Vancouver instalment, the exhibition will, in the words of its curators, “showcase interactions between Chinese, other migrants and Indigenous communities. By featuring stories of connectivity and mobility that link Canada to the long history of Chinese diasporas, the project will continue to examine themes of belonging, racism, resilience and reparation as important facets of the complex experience of Chinese migrants and their de- scendants in British Columbia.” Both exhibition sites were designed by Goodweather Studio. chinesecanadianmuseum.ca museumofvancouver.ca

preview-art.com PREVIEW 33 Victor Vasarely / Op Art in Vancouver / Uncommon Language VANCOUVER ART GALLERY, Vancouver BC - To April 5, 2021 by Michael Turner Hungarian-born Victor Vasarely (1906-1997) was a leading fi gure in the global Op Art movement. Though Op (short for “Optical”) has its roots in the late-19th-century Neo- Impressionist paintings of Georges Seurat, it received periodic waterings from artists as- sociated with subsequent movements (Cub- ism, Futurism, Constructivism and Dada) be- fore achieving full bloom in the 1960s, most notably through the black-and-white boards of Britain’s Bridget Riley, who, like Vasarely, had worked in design. Vasarely believed art should be accessible to everyone, and that the shared sensations Photo: Ian Lefebvre, Vancouver Art Gallery Vancouver Photo: Ian Lefebvre, Victor Vasarely, Oerveng, 1968, tempera on wood evoked by Op Art constituted a universal composite board. Collection of the Vancouver Art Gallery. aesthetic language. Over the course of his Gift of the Estate of Kathleen E. Reif. career he explored a range of media – from © Estate of Victor Vasarely / SOCAN (2020) painting, sculpture and architectural design to posters, dishware and textiles – and his infl uence was felt far and wide. Displayed alongside Vasarely’s works are those of notable Vancouver Op-inspired artists Joan Balzar, Brian Fisher, Michael Morris, Bodo Pfi efer, Gordon Smith and Takao Tanabe. In response to this at-times dizzying exhibition (the Vasarely component was conceived in collaboration with the Centre Pompidou, Musée National d’Art Moderne in Paris), the VAG has composed from its collection a parallel show that casts a confounding, if not critical, eye at Vasarely’s utopian tendencies. Artists include Josef Albers, Sonny Assu, Vija Celmins, Allyson Clay, Andrew Dadson, Beau Dick, General Idea, Jean Goguen, Betty Goodwin, Angela Grauer- holz, David Hockney, Jenny Holzer, Allison Hrabluik, Robert Indiana, Mary Kelly, Ann Kipling, Lui Shou Kwan, Ken Lum, Agnes Martin, Robert Motherwell, Ad Reinhardt, Françoise Sullivan, Takao Tanabe, Cy Twombly, Rachel Whiteread, Joyce Wieland, Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun and Zhu Jinshi, as well as invited artists Karin Jones and Zoe Kreye. vanartgallery.bc.ca

Photo: Courtesy Kevin Lanthier Photo: Courtesy Kevin the sidewalk with an oven mitt in Kevin Lanthier, Chinatown Otter, 2020, archival print backmounted its mouth. Encounters like these to aluminum provide the ground for Kevin Lan- thier’s latest series of pictures. Bears in Our Backyard (2020) features a family of three bears at the rear of a suburban house at twilight. While the parents confer, the cub is on the patio peeking through the kitch- en window. The scene might have a more benign, if not "good natured", feeling if the cub were sni ng the covered barbecue nearby. That it has turned its attention to what is inside the house allows the picture its malevolence. A similar e ect is available in Olympic Village Beavers (2020), where a colony of beavers occupies what looks like a military base on the eve of an invasion. Although The Crow Commute (2020) may not be directly related to climate change, the pres- ence of crows fl ying en masse over Vancouver at dusk can be seen as a Greek chorus to the increased presence of a more threatening, if not threatened, urban wildlife. Of these crows, Lanthier writes in his series description of a 1903 cull instigated by the City of Vancouver. “Despite the cull, there are an abundance of crows in Vancouver today, and over a hundred years later, every evening, thousands of them fl y to the suburbs to roost, interestingly just outside of Vancouver’s o cial city limits.” iantangallery.com

His current series of pictures, The Eraser, continues his explo- ration of the entangled terrain of race, gender and identity, much of it motivated by a childhood rife with discrimination and trauma. For The Eraser, Munsya presents por- traits of Black bodies staged in specially designed interiors. In Eraser Day One (2020), a woman sitting atop a midcen- tury media credenza leans back, to the point where all we can see of her face is her chin. To her right, large leaves take root in a water-fi lled glass vase; to her left is a 19th-century-style amber glass lamp. Kriss Munsya, Shimmy (Scarlet Ribbons; The Eraser), 2020, C-print The periods to which these objects cor- respond are consistent with the cruelties of the Belgian colonial and neocolonial eras, while the regenerating leaves suggest ongoing Congolese resistance, as evidenced by Eraser Modern Still Life (2020), where the vase is placed between the legs of the now upright and skirtless subject. Easier Black Mirror (2020) is an Afrofuturistic mise en scène. Two fi gures stand before a vermilion background. The fi rst is dressed in black trousers and an open white sports coat. The fi gure is shirtless, the chest masculine. Directly behind the fi rst fi gure, hidden but for a pair of hands, another pair of white-coated shoulders and an outsized afro, is the second fi gure, a woman. Of the two fi gures, neither face is shown. The second fi gure’s face is obscured by the fi rst, the fi rst behind a mask comprised of a hundred tiny mirrors. pendulumgallery.bc.ca

I felt compelled to ask these four artists to contribute work to an exhibition that could continue the conversation and approach the topic of ‘land back’ from di erent angles.” An exhibition of installation, sound, photography, painting and text-based works, LAND BACK features art by Lacie Burning, Whess Harman, Chandra Melting Tallow and Nicole Neidhardt. Hirtle says, “The artists participating in this exhibition have varying and unique backgrounds and identities, and how they view the idea of ‘land back’ is di erent from one another. My de- sire to include them all is to have a spectrum of perspectives and dialogues converge around the themes of land and water protection.” The show also includes a fi lm by Hirtle, made in collaboration with Brianna Bear, titled Lekwungen: Place to Smoke Herring. Described as a rallying cry, LAND BACK seeks to explore Indigenous responsibility to protect the land currently known as Canada from the devastation of resource extraction for private profi t. In response to a question about the future of Canada, Hirtle says, “I’m more interested in the futurities of my relatives and kin and how our acts of cultural resurgence are in essence undoing [the] settler-state of Canada one relationship and act of revolutionary revitalization at a time.” Reception Nov 21 & 22, all-day open house openspace.ca

42 NOV 2020 - JAN 2021 Rebecca Belmore: RESERVOIR AUDAIN ART MUSEUM, Whistler BC - Nov 14, 2020 - April 11, 2021 by Michael Turner Anishinaabekwe artist Rebecca Belmore has lived and worked in some of Canada’s largest cities (Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, Winnipeg), exhibited globally (documenta 14, 51st Venice Bi- ennale, 4th Bienal de la Habana) and had a profound infl uence on generations of artists, curators

Video: Darlene Naponse and writers. To describe her as Rebecca Belmore, Perimeter, 2012, video still one of Canada’s leading artists would be accepted by most everyone but the artist and those who know her best. At issue here is not her achievements but the language that frames them – the possessive part of “Canada’s.” Along with language, bodies and land form the basis of Belmore’s evocative multidisci- plinary practice. For her fi rst mature work, Belmore produced Twelve Angry Crinolines (1987), a performance that featured the artist parading in a complicated pastiche of Victorian-era crockery and couture; Disneyfi ed cultural stereotypes (Pocahontas braids wired up like anten- nae); and materials related to her life growing up on the Lac Seul First Nation reserve (buck- skin). The occasion was the Duke and Duchess of York’s visit to Thunder Bay in the summer of 1987. For the garment’s bustle, Belmore attached a scaled-down beaver dam; caught within its sticks was a “collection” of kitschy royal memorabilia. For the Audain, Belmore has devised a nighttime performance set in the museum’s fl oodplain meadow and a related rock and netting installation in the Tom & Teresa Gautreau Galleries. Central to these works is a recognition of the growing disparity between wealth and poverty in Canada, with a particular focus on Vancouver, Whistler and the Sea-to-Sky Highway that links them. An additional work is Body of Water (2019), an upended and tarpaulined canoe sculpture commissioned for the 16th Istanbul Biennial. audainartmuseum.com

Diminutive and elegant, his vision of nature is calibrated to appeal, not warn; his representations of wild animals and hunting-and-fi shing enthusiasts are warm and understanding. Besides winning awards in numerous exhibitions, Ferguson

JAMES MARTIN Foster/White Gallery, Seattle. Jan 7 - 30 Now 93, James Martin remains the odd man out of the Northwest School: eccentric, idiosyncratic, non-“mystic,” colorful and strictly anecdotal. The salient takeaway from this survey of 80-plus works on paper covering fi ve decades is that Martin’s cultural purview is much wider than has been understood. While earlier work revealed wacky scenes with Proust, Stravinsky and Picasso, more recent work takes on no less than Charles Lindbergh, the Lone Ranger, Andy Warhol and Wagner.

At the Frye, she is creat- ing walk-through spaces that represent the about-to-be-gentrifi ed house of Alice Metropolis, the artist’s alter ego. According to as- sociate curator David Strand, Alice “strives for wholeness and transcendence against … forms of systemic oppression that … fracture her sense of self.” The immersive installation draws attention to Alice’s writings, collections, clothing and other personal detritus connected to long-term domestic settings. One inspiration is the late Black lesbian author and activist Audre Lorde (1934-1992), who dedicated her life to fi ghting injustice. As the rooms reveal themselves, visitors overhear uncomfortably intimate confessions, tirades, and witty repartee refl ecting on Alice’s predicament: how to survive as an artist, a woman and sexual minority in urban settings wherein older racial communities are alternately cosseted by white cultural elites and shoved out of a ordable housing. With housing prices rising 10% per year, and average rents now approaching $3,000 per month, Seattle’s vaunted hospitality for artists of all colors is now seriously in question. Housing crisis is presented here as personal crisis. “Alice’s home is a place of refuge and nightmares.” Her “spiritual sanctuary” can only temporarily stave o reality, as she hovers in an environment of poetic mystery, rage and wry humor. fryemuseum.org

MICHAEL NICOLL YAHGULANAAS: CARPE FIN Seattle Art Museum, Seattle. To Mar 7, 2021 Measuring six by 19 feet, this extraordinary watercolor mural by artist, activist and storyteller Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas employs his distinctive “Haida manga” style to tell a powerful story. Blending visual elements from Haida art, Japanese manga, Pop Art and graphic novels with Indigenous oral history traditions, Yahgulanaas recounts a tale of a sea-mammal hunter whose community has been beset by a series of di- sasters and who is taken to the underwater realm of a powerful spirit.

CARLOS MOTTA: WE GOT EACH OTHER’S BACK Portland Institute of Contemporary Art. Nov 7, 2020 - Feb 14, 2021 The multidisciplinary artist-activist Carlos Motta, with Julio Salgado, Heldáy De La Cruz and Edna Vázquez, looks at suppressed histories, communities and identities.

Carlos Motta working on fi lm project likes talking-head video overlaid with historicized objects. If you haven’t heard the term “Undocuqueer,” you will soon. Motta’s previous exhibitions, such as History’s Backrooms and Formas de libertad, show how he tackles political subjects head-on.

This dynamic group of nine professional artists with diverse bodies of work exemplifi es a postwar modern Japanese aesthetic that paid attention to worldwide art movements. The Joryū Hanga Kyōkai (Women’s Print Association) mounted its fi rst exhibition in October 1956 at a gallery in Tokyo. The group continued exhibiting together until their 1965 New York exhibition of etchings, relief prints and lithographs, which met with high acclaim.

THE PANDEMIC IS A PORTAL is a zine-style document of the recent Instagram exhibition convened by SFU Galleries (@sfugalleries) in response to the world- wide spread of COVID-19. Brought together by curators Karina Irvine, Christopher Lacroix and cheyanne turions, two dozen artists created images, texts, perfor- mances and aural works that renounce a post-pandemic return to the social, economic and political policies that defi ned the old “normal.” They also query conditions of social isolation and the nature of community.
