www.trepanierbaer.com Vikky Alexander: Lost Horizons TRÉPANIER BAER, CALGARY AB – Sep 11-Oct 11 “The world is no longer informed by direct experi - ence but through two-dimensional media presentations in the form of billboards, televisions, news - papers and magazines. I use these forms of information as if they are the only resources available.” Vikky Alexander is a photographer and sculptor who lives and works in Vancouver. She has been an Associate Professor of Photogra - phy at the University of Victoria since 1998. Her archival ink prints on canvas, installations and photographs explore relationships between art, architecture, and nature, with a focus on how nature is experi - enced in a post-modern, consumer society. For her finely-crafted pieces, she has made use of such mass-produced decorator materials as plywood veneers, MacTac, Formica, mirrors and wallpaper murals of landscapes. Alexander was born in Victoria, British Columbia and graduated with a BFA in 1979 from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. Her work is included in numerous public collections across Canada.

Her artwork is considered unconventional in the sense that it is highly personal and emotional. She often tackles socially difficult themes: sexual abuse, alcohol addiction, the reality of contemporary life in north - ern communities, and the universal concerns of women in modern society. In particular, she is one of the few Inuit artists to choose the nude as a subject. At the age of 58, Tunnillie's compelling work has earned her a place at the forefront of contemporary Canadian art. Prompted in part by her recent struggles with cancer, Tun - nillie created 16 stone sculptures of women for Meditations on Womanhood . The beautiful serpentine works range between 5 and 26 inches. By turns brooding, anguished, stoic and hope - ful, the figures convey a world of emotional depth in their sim - plified forms. Oviloo Tunnillie began sculpting in the early 1970s. Even while raising six children, she continued to make a living by carving. One of only a handful of women sculptors in Cape Dorset, she worked outdoors under harsh weather conditions most of the year. In recent years, Oviloo moved her family to Toronto and then to Ottawa. During the 1990s, her figures invited public acclaim for Oviloo Tunnillie, Tired Woman (2008), what was perceived as her feminist interpretations. They can be serpentine [Marion Scott Gallery, Vancouver found in many public and private collections of Inuit art, BC, Sep 27-Nov 2] including the National Gallery of Canada, the Canadian Muse - um of Civilization, the Art Gallery of Ontario and the Winnipeg Art Gallery. Her work has been exhibited in places as diverse as Sweden, Germany and New Mexico. Mia Johnson

In his fifth exhibit of work at the Jennifer Kostuik Gallery he presents austerely-reduced, almost surreal images of icebergs and foggy skies off the shores of Greenland and Antarctica. Coastal glaciers, ice shelves and massive tabular icebergs – pin - nacled, flat-topped or pyramidal – rise starkly from the dark waters and skies of his dramatic panoramas. They are massive, frosty and starkly beautiful. Burdeny earned a Master of Architecture in 1998 at the University of Manitoba. He has been the recipi - ent of numerous International Pho - tography Awards, including a first, second and third place, and in 2005 David Burdeny, Tabulars in Hope Bay, Antarctica (2007), colour photograph on was named Non-Professional Nature aluminum mount [Jennifer Kostuik Gallery, Vancouver BC, Sep 11-Oct 5] Photographer of the Year. In 2004 and in 2005 he also received an Award of Excellence from Communication Arts Photo Annual Competi - tion, and has several International B+W Spider Awards to his credit. Burdeny shoots with a Hasselblad medium format camera and an 80mm lens, and a 38mm Hasselblad SWC/M. He frequently uses black and white, silver-based 120 roll film developed by hand in small reel tanks. The archival prints in Nort hıSouth were done on Fuji Crystal Archive Pho - to Paper using a Cymbolic Sciences Lightjet 5000 printer. Of his minimalist compositions he writes, “The glory lies not in the act of clarification or reduction, but in the experience of what is left – sub - lime experience....” Mia Johnson

www.jacanagallery.com Jason de Graaf: New Paintings JACANA GALLERY, VANCOUVER – Sep 6-28 It is always gratifying to see a new painter with exemplary technique having a first solo show. Jason de Graaf was born in Montreal and currently resides in Oka, Quebec. From 1993-1996 he studied illustration at Dawson College in Montreal. After years of full-time and part-time illustration work, he has devoted himself entirely to painting since 2005. He is represented by Plus One Gallery in London, UK and by the Jacana Gallery in Van - couver. De Graaf’s hyper-realist photographic style would appear computer-generated if it weren’t for the depth and nuance of his colouration. Images like Apple Blossoms and Orchid II invite lingering looks at the variations of hue in the petals. His flowers, glass balls and reflective marbles are almost swooning with rich sensory details. As he puts it, “Many of my paintings are about the relationship of light with reflective Jason de Graaf, Strawberries on Foil (2008), acrylic on canvas and transparent surfaces and my journey to [JACANA Gallery, Vancouver BC, Sep 6-28] understand those qualities and convey my sense of wonder and intrigue over them”. His work is a good example of Magic Realism, where looming foreground objects contrast with a sense of distance, and where dissimilar objects and tex - tures are juxtaposed – lush, ripe strawberries with slick tinfoil, or hard, shiny wine glasses with a soft-focus sunset.

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 23 BEHIND THE SCENES BY ANN ROSENBERG

Organized or Disorganized Crime? Whatever! You'll likely get caught. Art theft is a headline-grabbing subplot of metal theft. The subject has caused a Canadian come - dian to develop a persona who indulges in that criminal activity. In an episode of CBC TV's The Mercer Report a demonic, hyper-manic Rick is surrounded by dozens of famous sculptures in a subterranean, museum-like storage cellar and makeshift smelter lab. In this skit, we must believe that the marble Venus de Milo and Rodin's bronze Thinker will be tossed into a cauldron of steam - ing water along-side busts of Lenin and other luminaries for meltdown and resale on the com - modities market. Perhaps he could also throw some priceless, gold jewellery into the brew for flavour. If only life were as amusing and easy as satire. Sometimes art is grabbed from public places by organized thieves like those who smashed into glass cases on May 24 at the University of British Columbia's Museum of Anthropology. They likely intended to seize specific items of incalculable value (espe - cially several created by Haida artist Bill Reid) while the security guard was on his break. A substantial reward by Reid's widow Martine and the MOA ($50,000 in total) undoubtedly con - tributed to the retrieval of all but two of the fourteen pieces. On August 20, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police an- nounced the recovery of the two still-missing objects. Although part of the intricately carved argillite pipe is gone, and some things have been slightly damaged, on the whole, the story has a happy ending. That same day the main culprit, a young criminal Gold eagle brooch by Bill Reid, stolen from the with a long rap sheet who has yet to be formally charged, made a Museum of Anthropology on May 24 first appearance in Court. Another local heist has also been well-covered by the media. It bears striking similarity to the one perpetrated by the hapless amateurs who carted off large sculptures from the Vollum Estate in Portland as described on page 20 of the last issue of Preview . Those miscreants reputedly intended to cut the metal into shards and to sell the bits to support their drug habits. In this city on June 19 or 20, two or more not very well- organized unidentified culprits dislodged bronze plaques, post caps, and a life-size cast figure from the J. Seward Johnson Jr. 1984 Photo Session group in Queen Elizabeth Park. They were probably aware that copper can fetch $4 a pound but didn't know that scrap yard owners are now so fearful of being charged with complicity in metal theft that they go to great lengths to ID would-be vendors of what they think might be illegally obtained bronze or copper, J. Seward Johnson Jr., Photo Session (1984), bronze sculpture, and sometimes document their presence on surveillance and bronze plaques stolen from Queen Elizabeth Park in cameras. Vancouver BC on June 20 A video-captured image of a female suspect in this crime was released to the media by the police department on July 3. A picture of the array of items taken from the Vancouver park and recovered in a park in the suburb of Aldergrove, was circulated by the police on August 13. Meanwhile read about the past and present state of these art thefts on the Web. It's almost as much fun as following two Miss Marple mysteries that happened here, not across the pond. Ann Rosenberg is a Vancouver-based freelance curator, critic and author.

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 27 www.buschlenmowatt.ca Sorel Etrog: The Missing Links: Rare Two Dimensional Works BUSCHLEN MOWATT, VANCOUVER BC – Sep 1-Oct 30 The Missing Links: Rare Two Dimensional Works consists of a body of paintings created between 1963-1971 by Sorel Etrog, one of Canada's most prestigious painters and sculptors. These meditations on the human condition are exemplars of Etrog's fascination with the human body in an industrial world. Etrog once described his art as “tension created by pulling together and pulling apart, with being stuck and being freed, a world of grabbing and holding on and losing hol d…bringing shapes together but at the same time giving each an independence.” Etrog was born in Romania in 1933 and attended Art School in Tel Aviv during the 1950s. He earned a scholar - ship to study at the Brooklyn Museum of Art in New York and in 1959 had his first Canadian solo exhibition at Gallery Moos, Toronto. In 1963 Etrog became a Canadi - an Citizen, and in 1966 represented Canada at the Venice Biennale. He soon established himself as one of North America's pre-eminent sculptors. Etrog was appointed Member of the Order of Canada in 1994 and made a Chevalier of Arts and Letters by the Government of France in 1996.

The fanciful, complex images conjure up a fascinating and exuberant “museum of the five senses” (which is also the title of one work). Drawing from her collection of props, treasures, prints and artist materials, Groening has created richly-coloured and conceptually intriguing visual images reminiscent of 16th century alle - gorical painting: an explosive cacophony of visual and audi - tory information. Groening is a traditional printmaker of monotypes and lith - ographs, and a former instructor at ECIAD and the Univer - sity of Victoria. After staging the compositions, she captured them with a large format camera and then altered and added Torrie Groening, Museum of the Senses for an Artist (touch) (2007), digital collage, edition of to them on the computer.

Chapter 15. The Case of being at the End of the Storm with Loren Adams I became aware of the work of Loren D. Adams some eight years ago when a colleague was kind enough to arrange a private viewing of a large oil painting from about 1973 which I believe was entitled Sunset Symphony . The work was a magnificent interpretation of a colour - ful High Realism fantasy marine-scape and was absolutely breathtaking in size (approximately 48 × 60 inches), com - plexity of composition, and attention to minute detail. The artist had mastered a realistic depiction of a turbulent sea with waves crashing relentlessly against a rocky shore, and, the manipulation of light with a pale setting sun to render × Loren D. Adams, End of the Storm (1974), oil on linen, 30 48 inches form. The effect was sublime and hum - bling. It read as a homage to nature and to the spiritual affinity which all life has to the grandeur and eternal presence of nature. End of the Storm , painted in 1974, is without question a genuine masterpiece exhibiting all the attributes for which Adams is known, and has become one of the most commercial - ly reproduced marine images on the planet. Shortly after it was painted, it was published as a lithograph by Haddad's Fine Art, and has since been available in several sizes on paper, as a canvas print, and as a Giclée. The painting is listed in the Early Masterworks section of the artist's website: http://www.lorenadams.com/PURPLE/EARLYMAH/EARLY1.HTML End of Storm was initially purchased from the Gainsborough Gallery in Calgary where Adams had a one-man show from January 26-February 2,1975. The painting was listed as #17 in the exhibition catalogue entitled “An Exhibition and Sale of Recent Paintings by Loren Adams” and was reproduced on the catalogue cover. Colour images of the work can also be found on pages 1 and 23 of a catalogue entitled “Loren D. Adams, Jr.: a retrospec - tive exhibition, January 21-March 4, 1979, the R.W. Norton Art Gallery” produced by the R.W. Norton Art Foundation in Shreveport, Louisiana. Adams gained international recognition in the early 1970s when it was unfashionable to paint High Realism, especially romantic images of deserted seashores or lone vessels struggling to stay afloat in a torrent of raging sea. Most of his contemporaries were wallow - ing in the resonating echo of the big-Abstract-Expressionist-bang and were quite comfort - ably, thank you very much, exploring hard-edge painting, assemblage, site works, perfor - mance art and other forms of self indulgence masquerading as art. Adam's work was initially viewed as Hyper Romantic commercialism akin to those trashy images found on cheap paperback romance fiction, but it has stood the test of at least thirty-five years and has proven itself to be work of significant importance in an age when images are by digital definition, disposable. In 1984 Adams’ 16 × 20 inch oil on canvas Golden Surface , sold at auction for $4,500. In 1985 a 16 × 20 inch oil on canvas by the same artist sold at auction for $3,750, the year when Tom Thomson's 8 × 10 inch oil on panel, Log Jam , sold at auction for $50,000. Strong secondary market sales of Adams' work, realized over twenty years ago, reflect a continu - ing appreciation and respect for the artifice of Realism, which in my estimation, will never completely go out of fashion. Next issue: The Case of the Shoreline with Vern Simpson.

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 63 Conservator’s Corner BY REBECCA PAVITT WWW .FINEARTCONSERVE .COM Treating art with sensitive media: case study of a Jean-Philippe Dallaire charcoal drawing Conservators are often faced with a basic conundrum of how to make something look better without making it look worse. Water and touch sensitive media such as unfixed pastel and charcoal can present special challenges in this regard. The general rule of thumb when approaching media of dubious stabil - ity is to test and approach with caution. In this case the charcoal was somewhat stable to water and pressure and, fortunately, much of the distracting discolouration was in the non-image sections of the piece. This gave me the advantage of being able work around very sensitive areas. The paper was first relaxed with gentle humidification. This was done by using Gore-Tex, which only allows water vapour through its membrane. Pre-humidification helps the paper to absorb cleaning solutions evenly and prevents unwanted wicking and tidelines. Jean-Philippe Dallaire drawing, prior to The non-image areas on the front of the paper were treated with a conservation treatment brush coat of a reducing bleach, sodium borohydride. Sodium borohy - dride not only reduces discolouration, it also breaks down gelatin siz - ing making paper more receptive to water treatment. After bleaching, the drawing was transferred to a blotter-covered suction table, and the treated areas were rinsed with deionized water. Areas farthest from the charcoal medium were rinsed with spray and brush-applied water and areas closest to the charcoal were rinsed with heated water vapour mist. By slowly easing into a treatment, conservators can get a feel for how much (or little) solvent exposure a particular media can safely withstand. My own experience has shown that artworks like the Dal - laire drawing, which are moderately water sensitive, can often be cleaned from the reverse without endangering the media on the front. The reverse and non-image areas of the front could be safely misted with diluted hydrogen peroxide and rinsed by floating the drawing very briefly on a deionized water bath. The piece was further rinsed on a blotter-covered suction table. A final application of sodium borohy - dride neutralized any remaining hydrogen peroxide residue, and the artwork was rinsed again. Despite being relaxed with water throughout the treatment, the paper support still did not lie flat enough to be pressed dry between Jean-Philippe Dallaire drawing, after blotters. This is often the case with art on paper. Water resistant media conservation treatment (e.g., oil based printing ink) or as in this case, long term distortion, will prevent the paper from lying flat even when wet. Drying and flat - tening between blotters would cause creases to be pressed into the paper. This is when stretch drying can be used to advantage. The edges of the humidified sheets are clamped with blotters and weights. As the paper sheet dries, it shrinks and pulls itself flat. Stretch dry - ing is also useful when flattening pressure sensitive media such as pastel and charcoal. The Dallaire drawing qualified for stretch drying on both counts and was successfully flattened using this method. Although some discolouration does remain in the paper support, this treatment improved the over - all appearance while protecting the medium from being damaged.

The installation opens October 17 and is followed by an artist's talk October 18 titled “You are what you eat.” Nguyen is a Vancouver-based artist whose works have been exhibited at the Glenbow Museum, Museum of Art in San Jose, not-for-profit art centres, and in such non-traditional art spaces as restaurants, churches and cemeteries in North America and Europe. His heavily Nhan Duc Nguyen, detail from a mountain of fruit and conceptual and participatory installation Lao Oi, Lao A flowers (2008), foam core with fruit and flowers [Open (O Ancient One) is based on Vietnamese shrines to Lao Space Arts Society, Victoria BC, Oct 17-Nov 8] Noi Kieu. Nguyen explains, “Altars to Lao Noi Kieu are erected by organizations and individuals to petition for resolution and harmony in matters pertain - ing to the health and welfare of the state and its citizens”. The artist has invited Victorians of all cultures and generations to participate by providing Vic - toria memorabilia such as souvenirs, pins, buttons, pamphlets and ARTIST TALK: curios; by writing an essay, letter to the editor, a poem or paragraph You Are What You Eat about Victoria; by making origami decorations for the show; or by 2pm, Saturday, Oct 18 sending a passport-sized photo to be used in one of Nhan's art works Open Space Arts Society that resembles a strand of DNA. The installation will feature an edible 510 Fort Street 'core sample' made of fruits, nuts, and other ingredients solicited by Victoria the artist, which will be served at teas during the exhibition.

PENTICTON ART GALLERY, PENTICTON BC – Sep 12-Nov 2 EVERGREEN CULTURAL CENTRE, COQUITLAM BC – Dec 8-Jan 11 Previously shown at Comox Valley Art Gallery in March/April 2008, W hat Use Art History is a touring exhibit featuring the work of seven B.C. artists. The exhibit, curated by local art historian Ann Rosenberg, addresses the appro- priation and integration of historical art refer- ents in contemporary artworks. The paintings, photographs, installations, sculptures and computer-generated works are accompanied by illustrated wall panels that describe their sources and antecedents. Haida artist Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas, 0Bill Pitcher, Artemis (2006), colour inkjet print on canvas [Penticton Art Gallery, Penticton BC, Sep 12-Nov 2; Evergreen together with Ursula Medley, Justin Ogilvie, Cultural Centre, Coquitlam BC, Dec 8-Jan 11] Bill Pitcher, Elizabeth Russell, Ruth Scheuing and Ed Varney, mine their respective cultural histories. Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas, known for his “Haida Manga”, built a tongue-in-cheek ver- sion of a traditional Haida shield out of car hoods. Vancouver artist Justin Ogilvie, whose ethereal paintings are shown at the Diane Farris Gallery, references the anatomical imagery of the Old Mas- ters. William Pitcher from Golden, BC places mythic Greek goddesses in contemporary settings using trompe l’oeil ink-jet murals that are dense with symbolism. Ursula Medley’s paintings of “Lang Bay Amazones” feature Rubenesque nudes, while Elizabeth Russell’s work speaks to the transformation of the semi-rural Comox Valley over the past 50 years. Vancouver artist Ruth Scheuing has reproduced a “Cyborg” version of Duchamp’s N ude Descending a Staircase in a massive textile mural. Royston-based Ed Varney, well known for his International Correspondence Art Network, has contributed three tributes to Mondrian and a fill-in-the-blanks- Mona Lisa from his Collaborations with Dead Artists series.

GALLERY AT PLACE, Victoria BC – Through Sep 23 Doug and Ken features collaborative projects by internationally-renowned BC artists Ken Stacey and Douglas Coupland. The 30 pieces of illus - trated work include original drawings, publications, and prints from various magazines like Adbusters , Vancouver Magazine and Souvenir of Canada 2 . The work is presented in a manner that demonstrates the creative process of two talented people with different skill sets: Coupland, who frequently chooses the subject matter and story line, and Steacy, a world- class comic illustrator. The evolution of the illustrated images can be seen from their early conceptual stages to the final products. Ken Steacy also works with Lucas Film, Marvel and DC comics in addi - tion to running his own on-demand publishing company.

Both self-described “Canadian Air Force brats”, Steacy and Coupland have built their fame as commentators on contemporary pop culture. Coupland, a Canadian fiction writer, playwright and visual artist, studied art and design in Vancouver, Canada, Milan, Italy and Sapporo, Japan. His famous first novel, Generation X (1991), has been closely followed by nine novels and several non- fiction books, and his writing has been translated into some 35 languages. The recent TV series jPod was based on his novel. Mia Johnson

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 71 www.laurarusso.com Henk Pander: History and Topography LAURA RUSSO GALLERY, PORTLAND, OR – Sep 4-27 Trained in his native Holland, Portland artist Henk Pander creates large-scale oil paintings that capture the raw essence of present-day reality by depicting ominous scenes. The derelict atmosphere in Pander’s new paintings is constructed by an amalgam of socio-political commentaries, lush painted surfaces and immaculate tech - nique, which evoke memory, loss and neglect. Images of the destruction surrounding a plane crash, the fragility of life, degrading interiors and modern day landscapes attest to a post- industrial age of corrosion and deterioration that has settled into itself. Worn and weathered, the archaic feeling in works like Ort becomes a thing of dark beauty, especially the way Pander renders them. His subjects are conveyed with the emotional detail of a realist who, though he approaches his painting method with the Henk Pander, Enola Gay Hanger – Wendover, Utah (2007), oil on technical mastery of classical European linen [Laura Russo Gallery, Portland OR, Sep 4-27] schooling, depicts in his poignant and melan - cholic scenes the physical presence of time. They are laden with unspoken histories in compelling semi-narrative compositions. As one of the most distinguished painters in Portland, Henk Pander fuses his tendency to use contemporary events as a subjective focus with an honour toward the traditional craft of painting.

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 73 www.portlandartmuseum.org Ed Ruscha PORTLAND ART MUSEUM, PORTLAND OR – Jun 14-Sep 21 Ed Ruscha has an impressive Interna - tional and National exhibition history dating from when he was first associated with the Pop Art movement of the early 1960s. In 2005 he represented the United States at the Venice Biennale, and has been the subject of numerous retrospectives. With a distinctly West Coast aesthetic, Ruscha is known for his graphic visual word plays and his architectural commentaries on the Los Angeles landscape. His conceptual innovation and refinement of iconography from popular cul - ture is unprecedented in our time. For this exhibition, Ruscha re-interprets a Mexican roadside wall on mural-size canvases. The diptych Azteca and Azteca in Decline contin - ues Ruscha’s interest in exploring historical rela - tionships. The rough walls are painted in a trompe l’oeil manner, complete with holes, weather marks and graffiti. Ambiguous shapes in red, green and blue are set against a white wall. In a piece that reflects the wall’s degradation, the Ed Ruscha, Installation view, Azteca/Azteca in Decline (2007), forms are folded over and are detaching from the acrylic on canvas [Portland Art Museum, Portland OR, Jun 14- Sep 21] peeling and chipped background. Ruscha clever - ly repeats the same graffiti tag mark in both pieces, as if the wall were re-tagged after the banner- like forms had fallen. Two other smaller sets of work are featured in this exhibition. A relief diptych entitled New Wood, Old Wood (2007) similarly portrays the tangible effects of age on physical matter. Ruscha’s signature “word” paintings are represented by Spread (1973), a two-part piece illustrating a reflec - tion of the word “spread” that he has executed in a mix of tobacco and gunpowder. Ruscha lives and works in Los Angeles. Allyn Cantor

Donald Fels and Signboard Painters of South India TACOMA ART MUSEUM, TACOMA, WA – Sep 13, 2008-Jan 18, 2009 From 2004-2005 Washington artist Donald Fels travelled to Kerala, India as a Fulbright Senior Research Scholar. In India, Fels, who has been creating work based on themes of trade and culture for two decades, collaborated with local commercial signboard painters. Most of them had painted billboards by hand until cheaper and more efficient computers and inkjet printers made their craft obsolete. For this exhibition, Fels and his collaborators created 16 large-scale paintings in the N O T G N style of traditional billboards and Bollywood advertising. The I H S A W

PREVIEW 79 www.lisaharrisgallery.com Emily Wood: Recent Landscapes LISA HARRIS GALLERY, SEATTLE, WA – Sep 4-27 Emily Wood's elemental landscapes capture rural scenes from northwest Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. On her extensive trav - els to gather subject matter, Wood photographs a region to record compositions of interest which are then used for reference when formulating her studio paintings. With her heightened sense of colour and evocative arrangements, the Tacoma-based artist is modernist in her lyrical approach to the traditional landscape subject. She is a sophisticated colourist who transforms her initial subjects into sim - plified scenes which focus on tonality and a dramatic interpretation of form and hue. Stylistically her pieces are Post-Impressionist with the brilliant palette of Fauvist painters. Wood's bold shapes and handling of paint reduce light and shadow onto graphic elements softened by the glow of her warm-toned underpainting. Her expres - sionistic work pays attention to both composition and subtleties in colouration. She evokes a mood rather Emily Wood, Salmon River on Route 75 (2008), oil on than attempting to represent reality. canvas [Lisa Harris Gallery, Seattle WA, Sep 4-27] Emily Wood received her BFA from the University of Washington. Her work has been collected and exhibited nationally, including prominent survey shows at the Tacoma Art Museum and the Whatcom Museum of Art and History, and has also been featured in New American Paintings .
