Untitled (1976-78) © Estate of Louise Nevelson / SODRAC (2007) www.artgalleryalberta.com China Sensation: New Art from previewChengdu ART GALLERY OF ALBERTA, EDMONTON AB – Apr 14-Jun 10 China Sensation is a major exhibition of work by 22 contemporary Chinese artists living in Chengdu, Sichuan in the People’s Republic of China. The city of Chengdu is the economic and cultural centre of China’s most populated province and has been well situated to adopt and absorb western art practices. Following the enormous success of the first Shanghai Biennale, Chengdu inaugurated its own Biennale in 2001. Since that time the community has seen increased participation by curators, local collectors, foreign artists and international museums. Today there are over 20 museums in Chengdu. The artwork in the China Sensation exhibit shows a transition from traditional Chinese landscape painting and calligraphic styles to work informed by media awareness and conceptual irony. While images by the more senior artists are clearly linked to long historical traditions, the art of younger artists Chengdian Wu, Genesis (undated), colour photograph [Art Gallery of has been greatly influenced by western Alberta, Edmonton AB, Apr 14-Jun 10] entertainment and media images – including lively collage-inspired works, new forms of photography, Internet-inspired subject matter and video art. Overriding all is a sense of today’s global community combined with an Asian style and subject matter. China Sensation is a unique opportunity to see the work of artists from a rapidly evolving country. Mia Johnson seen through windows; May 19–Jun site or email [email protected].

1540 West 2nd Avenue, Vancouver, BC 604-736-3282 www.elliottlouis.com www.douglasudellgallery.com Vivian Thierfelder: Lux Eterna preview DOUGLAS UDELL GALLERIES, EDMONTON AB – Apr 5-21 Vivian Thierfelder was born in Alberta and received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Alberta in 1970. Before turning to painting full-time in 1983, she worked in exhibit design and construction at the Provincial Museum of Alberta, as a preparator for the Natural History Diorama Program, and in the graphics department of a major telecommunications firm. Over the past 30 years, Thierfelder has developed an enviable style of watercolour painting. Her technique employs rich and saturated paints in a manner more typical of oils or acrylics, and her treatment of colour and light is breathtaking. Her subjects range from simple fruit and flowers to complex still life arrangements of postcards, tropical flowers, silverware, fine china and photographs, all with dense and intricate patterns. The images are filled with movement and radiant light, “celebrating the lushness of the natural world” as she puts it. Vivian Thierfelder, Santa Rosa Plums (2007), watercolour on paper [Douglas Udell Galleries, Thierfelder is a member of the Canadian Society of Edmonton AB, Apr 5-21] Painters in Watercolour and the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts. She is best known for her floral works which are in corporate and individual collections all over North America, including the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, Canada Council Art Bank, The Glenbow Museum, and the Office of the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta, as well as in the Collection of Drawings and Watercolours for HRH Queen Elizabeth II.

No such luck. “Inherent vice”, however, is somewhat akin to the innate (bad and potentially self-destructive) behaviour triggered by the bit of DNA that impels a person to over-indulgence and, through excess, die prematurely. A similar flaw exists in certain artworks. Because of their inherent natures, such pieces will degrade over time or suffer from conditions (or other factors) in their surroundings that will diminish their effective- ness. Art depends on professionals: to detect their problems; to slow or stop the progress of their ‘mal- adies’ and where possible, to endow them with eternal life. Conservator Monica Smith of the Vancouver Art

Gallery is responsible for inspecting art objects. On COLLECTION OF THE VANCOUVER ART GALLERY, PHOTO: JIM JARDINE, GALLERY Condition Report Forms there is a box beside the Ingrid and Iain Baxter, Bagged Landscape (1966), words “inherent vice”. If it is ticked, measures might be vinyl, 73 x 58 x 8 cm taken to stabilize (or ‘cure’) the piece before it is put on display or accepted into the collection. According to Rebecca Pavitt, another local expert in the field, inherent vice is a problem because, “Artists make art out of the darnest things.” Every gallery worker has one or more ‘inherent vice’ story that they enjoy telling. My eyes popped out when I saw ants marching towards an animal fat sculpture at the Surrey Art Gallery to claim it as their prize. The insects were doing what nature compelled them to do in response to the ‘scent’ of the lard—an ingredient more fitting for a pie. A more horrifying inva- sion of picnic pests took place in Toronto’s Power Plant Gallery when two Mexican artists paint- ed a mural using human fat as ‘paint’. According to Vancouver curator Keith Wallace, by the third day, the ‘goop’ was alive with ants and the smell was unbearable. Artists sometimes encourage, accept and even accelerate the deterioration of a piece by shin- ing hot lights on the vegetation or bottom-of-the-food-chain creatures it includes. More typically, however, artists don’t want anything too detrimental to occur. This was undoubtedly the case with Liz Magor’s 1977 Time and Mrs. Tibor installation that the VAG exhibited just as the artist was gaining prominence. Time and Mrs. Tibor was an installation of Magor’s deceased neighbour’s wooden pantry that had been part of her tumbled-down farm house. On its shelves were Mrs. Tibor’s own preserves along with Magor’s newly canned jars of wild flowers. The sculpture was purchased by the National Gallery of Canada and shortly thereafter some substances in the jars began to ferment. Extraordinary measures were taken to eliminate the inherent vice so that Time and Mrs. Tibor could have an eternal, problem free-life. Many of the N.E.Thing Company’s ‘bagged’ vinyl landscapes, plastic inflatable abstract shapes, low-relief vacuum-formed or crushed container sculptures that were produced in the mid to late ‘60’s are not ageing well. This is due to the tendency of some plastics to bio-degrade, especially when exposed to heat and light. Some, but not these works, have become brittle and discoloured. Neither flaw can be reversed, but some pieces can be stabilized under certain con- ditions. In this case, it is up to fate and conservators to determine how long the works survive.

Her cultural affiliation is Plains Cree and she currently lives in Toronto. Norris’ artwork represents contradictions in living as an indigenous person in a contemporary colonial environment. This exhibition, Roots, Scars, Nests & Tines; New Positions, Timeless Paradigms, brings together multi-disciplinary pieces from four series. The natural materials that inspire her “soft architectures” and canvases include real animal antlers; “wounds” that have been “healed” with sinew stitching; natural and manufactured materials twisted into braids; and stick frames and nests built with ribbons, strips of beadwork, fur, fake hair, rubber or wool. The materials reflect traditional connections with First Nations art but the pieces themselves – including sculptures, wall pieces and video installations – emulate contemporary art practices. The artist declares, “I collaborate” with objects and images gathered from the land and animals, and reposition them in ‘art world’ contexts that emphasize their physical beauty, but also poke quiet but serious ‘fun’ at their misplacement.” Norris studied integrated media at the College of Art & Design in Toronto, Ontario and art at Middlesex University and Kensington & Jude Norris, His Nest (2006), Chelsea College, in London, .

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 33 www.arts.surrey.ca The Art of the Sari preview SURREY ART GALLERY, SURREY BC – through Jun 10 The sari has existed for over 5000 years and continues to be worn by a billion women around the world. It is the most common form of dress in India. In celebration of the multipurpose costume, The Surrey Art Gallery presents The Art of the Sari, an exhibition showing the sari as a form of living art. Historically, Hindus believed that cloth pierced by needles was impure, so a long length of simple cloth was adapted to fit the body. In terms of beauty, the sari emphasizes small waists and curvaceous busts and hips. From a utilitarian point of view, the sari is ideal for complete coverage of the female body at work. The adaptable sari can be worn as shorts, trousers, a flowing Section of an old ikat sari from India [Surrey Art gown or as a skirt. In fact, more than fifteen styles can be Gallery, Surrey BC, through Jun 10] found throughout India alone. From 5 yards to 9.5 yards long, depending on the status of the wearer and its use, the cloth is tied loosely, folded and pleated. A petticoat or “ghagra” and a blouse or “choli” were adopted in the 19th century and are sometimes worn under the sari. With globalization, western dress has been increasingly embraced, but the sari is still preferred for dress occasions, rituals and ceremonies around the world, and for utilitarian purposes in rural India. The Art of the Sari showcases centuries-old traditional crafts of weaving, printing and decoration in historical saris, as well as glamorous contemporary saris designed and created for this exhibit. They are complemented by poems written in English, Punjabi and Hindi May 7, 7:30pm – Lecture: The on the theme of the sari.

Chapter 9. The Case of Pool. Several weeks ago I received a call from a gentleman who wanted his collection of paintings appraised for insurance purposes. After reviewing the collection I surmised that three pieces, an exquisite oil on canvas and two well-executed watercolours, all by the same hand, exhibited sufficient artistic merit to warrant a written appraisal. My client indicated he was a second generation relative of the artist and that he had inherited the two watercolours some years ago. The oil painting, he had S.J. , Looe Pool purchased at auction, some 25 years earlier. The paintings were signed by S.J. Lamorna Birch and in some cases dated. The oil had a gallery label on the reverse, which included the title of Looe Pool, Helstrom. The larger of the two watercolours was inscribed on the back “Harvest Time”, while the smaller watercolour appeared to be a hand-painted, personalized, Christmas card sent to “Charlie” in 1940. I was astounded to discover that the illustrious relative of my client was the renowned British painter, Samuel Lamorna Birch R.A. S.J. Lamorna Birch, Harvest Time (1869-1955). Samuel John Birch was born in Egremont, Cheshire. Birch first visited West Cornwall (England) in the late 1880s and settled in the Lamorna Valley in 1892. He adopted the epithet Lamorna in 1895 to distinguish himself from fellow artist Lionel Birch (an idea suggested by Stanhope Forbes). He is regarded as the father figure of the later group of ‘’ artists, which included Laura and (who he met in 1907), Alfred Munnings, Frank Gascoigne Heath, Stanley Gardiner and Charles and , forming a second S.J. Lamorna Birch, Lamorna Cove looking artists colony in the Lamorna Valley, often referred to as the towards Carn Dhu Lamorna group. Birch was elected as an Associate of the Royal Academy (A.R.A.) in 1924 and was made a full Royal Academician (R.A.) eight years later. The oil titled Looe Pool, Helstrom was probably purchased from the S.J. Lamorna Birch Memorial Exhibition, Fine Art Society, London, October 1955. The title refers to the largest natural freshwater lake in Cornwall. The pool was originally the estuary of the which flows through the former port of . The Pool is reputed to be the lake in which Sir Bedivere cast King Arthur’s sword, Excalibur. Local superstition also warns that the Pool claims a victim every seven years. The watercolour titled Harvest Time is possibly a view in the Cotswolds and probably dates from the 1920s, painted during one of Birch’s visits to his friend and etcher Frederick Griggs at Campden, Gloucestershire. The small watercolour Christmas card depicts a view from the Lamorna harbour wall (Lamorna Cove) looking towards the rocks at Carn Dhu (black rock-pile). On completing the appraisal, I was informed by my client that other relatives also owned works by their illustrious ancestor. These included drawings, watercolours and small oils, mainly images in and around Lamorna Cove, Cornwall.

Haughton: Kindertotentanzpreview GALLERY O - CONTEMPORARY, THE ART CENTER, VANCOUVER BC – May 3-17 David A. Haughton’s Kindertotentanz are difficult and disturbing works. Kindertotentanz, meaning “children’s dance of death”, is a group of over 100 works created between 1984 and 2000, including etchings, aquatints, pen and ink drawings, oil paintings on canvas and acrylic paintings. They explore Dr. Haughton’s emotions as a pediatrician faced with the suffering of very ill and dying children, particularly during his early years of paediatric training in Los Angeles. The sad fact is, between genetic disorders, premature births, fetal alcohol syndrome, cancer, meningitis, neurological development and more, the malformations pictured here are a distinct reality. The expectation of a "normal" child is reasonable, but not necessarily a reality. The most affirmative spirit in the work can be traced to art created by the Maori people of New Zealand, through which Haughton found the language to structure his images. Figuring prominently are lizards, birds, eels and fish, the night, heavens and the moon. The lizard, signifying death, is a key element in the Maori theory of disease, and the doctor's task is to stop the lizard from entering the child’s mouth. In many of Haughton's images, the infants themselves are left to wrestle with the lizard. Witnessing the fateful struggles are Greek Orthodox-like saints from Haughton’s own ancestry, who provide the viewer with glimpses of hope, reverence and even awe. As both a doctor and an artist, his penetrating work is a true gift to us. David Haughton is simultaneously exhibiting Ships, David Haughton, Triptych/Trsomy 13 (1996), Mountains, and the Sea IV, a series of British Columbia detail, acrylic on board [Gallery O - Contemporary, coastal landscapes, May 3-27 at The Art Center.

In 2004, he examined the dark side of car advertising in The Magic Hour, Part One. The images in Part Two revel in the sense of mastery afforded by cars. Several paintings depict figures holding swords aloft, extolling the powers granted to them by their cars and feeling indestructible. “Six-Point Adjustable” features a woman crouched in front of her car wearing nothing but a bulletproof vest. In “Professional Driver, Closed Course”, a woman stands behind her open car door deflecting bullets. Using a combination of photographs shot in his studio, ads culled from magazines and stock photos from the Internet, Woods continues to question not only the influence of the car over us, but our choice in using cars – especially SUVs and other “road weapons” – against ourselves.

He has been described as “a maker of task-oriented objects” intended to lure visitors and stimulate physical and perceptual interaction. The Deluge exhibit presents a selection of over 70 drawings from among hundreds of sketchbook pages. The drawings include schematics for sculptural projects, delicate figurative sketches and abstract illustrations. They provide a rare look at Baden’s creative process.

Baden’s body-oriented works of the late 1960s and PHOTO: JOHN YANYSHYN/COURTESY: THE CANADA COUNCIL early 1970s, and his broader interest in the perceptual and interactive possibilities of art were considered influential to artists Kim Adams, Lewis Baltz, Michael Brewster, Chris Burden, Stephen Davis, and Jessica Stockholder. His conceptual frameworks, borrowed from psychology, architecture and performance, challenge the Mowry Baden, Aug 14 1992 (1992), ink on paper tenets of contemporary sculpture. [Deluge Gallery, Victoria BC, Apr 6-May 12] Baden taught at Stanford University, the University of British Columbia and, since 1975, at the University of Victoria, where he is currently professor emeritus. He has had solo and group exhibitions across North America, including Los Angeles, Mexico City, Montreal, Vancouver and New York.

From this collection, The Whatcom Museum, has organized American Abstraction. The exhibit presents 52 works on paper by artists who have made significant contributions to the genre of abstract art. Artists include William de Kooning, Richard Diebenkorn, John Cage, Hans Hofmann, Jasper Johns, Robert Motherwell, Richard Serra and Frank Stella. The drawings, prints and paintings in this exhibit were created during the latter half of the 20th century when abstraction was the favoured style in America. They are presented in groupings that aim to provide different contexts in which nonrepresentational art developed. Although most of the pieces featured are not considered the most significant works by these artists, the Robert Ryman, Yellow Drawing 35, (1963), exhibit does provide an overview of the challenges charcoal, pencil and white pastel on ochre paper encountered by abstract artists and seeks to broaden the [Whatcom Museum of History and Art, Bellingham viewer’s understanding of the dual processes of creating WA, May 13-Nov 11] and deciphering abstract art.

The Chinese- born and Paris-based artist is known for his spectacular large- scale installations that simultaneously entertain, shock and critique. The exhibition, a “hybrid of fun house, diorama and menagerie”, was previously shown at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis and features more than forty of Huang Yong Ping’s works, including a monumental sculpture. Huang's sculptures and installations have been described as “highly realistic and energetic”. He draws on the legacies of western modernists like Joseph Beuys and John Cage, as well as Chinese traditions of Zen and Taoism when juxtaposing traditional images with modern references. The most amazing sculpture in this exhibit expresses “the nightmare of George V” by posing a snarling tiger on top of a life-size elephant. The materials are as diverse as concrete, reinforced steel, animal skins, fabrics and plastics, wood and cane. Since his leadership, in the 1980s, of a subversive artists’ collective in Xiamen, China, Huang has been described as artist, magician, fortune-teller, alchemist, healer, teacher,

philosopher, and writer. In the last decade, he has created a GALERIE ANNE DE VILLEPOIX COURTESY COLLECTION: GALERIE ANNE DE VILLEPOIX, PARIS/PHOTO: completely original and provocative zoological realm using Huang Yong Ping, La Pêche (2006), fiberglass, both live animals and animal reproductions to represent animal hair, wood, bamboo, iron, installation view [Vancouver Art Gallery BC, Apr 5-Sept 16] various man-made social, political and historical events.

64 PREVIEW ★ OPEN LATE ON FIRST THURSDAYS www.portlandart.org The Portland Grid Project preview MAIN GALLERY, PORTLAND ART CENTER, OR – Apr 5-27 The Portland Grid Project represents the culmination of an ambitious plan that began in 1995. Christopher Rauschenberg, son of Robert Rauschenberg and an artist with the Elizabeth Leach Gallery, organized a group of 15 photographers to document the city of Portland square-by-square. A street map of Portland was cut into 98 sections and photographed one month at a time by a group of changing participants. Many are members of the Blue Sky Gallery. A total of 21 photographers were involved in creating the estimated 20,000 prints generated by the project. Seven curators from different institutions then organized the images into individually focused shows to create an overall exhibition of 3000 works. For the photographers, there were no David Potter, J8, [Main Gallery, Portland Art Center, OR, Apr 5-27] requirements other than to consistently photograph the designated grid section. The unintended commonality was the lack of a human subject in most pieces. Instead, a tension between nature and structure is represented in the quiet streets, moody skylines, industrials neighborhoods, backyards and waterways that compose this photographic essay of Portland. Portions of the Grid Project were shown in 2005 as part of the Contemporary American Photography exhibit at the Internationale Fototage in Mannheim, Germany. The current exhibition is the largest to date and on view as part of the Photolucida Festival.

With a highly personal vision of reality, he reduces three-dimensional elements to primitive, linear shapes that have the simplicity of folk art yet manage to retain the sophisticated resonance of Expressionism. Through his spare, evocative images, Kamuda demonstrates a reverie for nature and a meaningful connection with the original subjects. His stacked compositions of local scenes conjure images by Paul Klee. Kamuda’s work is characterized by a rich, earthy surface depth created with layers of oil paint and wax. The physicality is heightened by palette knife marks. In this new exhibit, Kamuda has also created a group Ed Kamuda, Winter Comes to Bow (2007), oil with wax of large-scale gouache paintings. These pieces share the varnish [Lisa Harris Gallery, Seattle WA, Apr 5-28] soft and dreamy movement of his oil paintings. The water-based media allows the shapes to dance on the picture plane creating a sense of lightness. Kamuda’s paintings contain a mysticism reminiscent of work by such painters from the Northwest School as Morris Graves and Guy Anderson, the latter a friend of Kamuda’s.

Exciting programming for 2007/08 includes an exhibition of 16th-19th Century Japanese Art from the Kobe City Museum, a Gaylen Hansen retrospective, Roman Art from the Louvre and a major exhibit of Coast Salish Art. The inaugural exhibit, SAM at 75: Building a Collection for Seattle, features new acquisitions and gifts in honour of the Museum’s upcoming 75th anniversary. Approximately 200 pieces will be featured in the galleries and also integrated within the permanent collections. When entering the block-long public space of the new SAM building, impressive installations by Cai Guo-Qiang can be viewed on the first and second floors. On the ground level is Inopportune: Stage One, a nine-car piece meant to re-enact a Ford Taurus somersaulting through the air. Each suspended vehicle represents a moment in time, like stills from a video. Colourful flashing LED lights give the piece a theatrical tone that adds to the experiential element of the work. In an adjacent gallery, a video work by Guo-Qiang entitled Illusion depicts a car exploding in Times Square, New York. The actual Cai Guo-Qiang, Inopportune: Stage One, (2004), cars and sequenced multi-channel light tubes burned car used in the creation of the piece accompanies the [Seattle Art Museum, WA, May 5-Sept 9] video for a heightened sense of reality. Both of these works are part of SAM’s recent acquisitions and can be viewed in the free public spaces of the new expansion. Five Masterpieces of Asian Art: The Story of their Conservation, is also on view as part of SAM at 75. The display features new conservation techniques used on recently conserved Japanese and Korean works. Allyn Cantor
