www.bau-xi.com Lisa Birke: 20/10 Vision BAU-XI GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Feb 6-27, 2010 The first place finisher will be one who uses 20/10 vision: the ability to see clearly 20 feet ahead what the average eye can only see at 10. —Lisa Birke 20/10 Vision is an exhibition of paintings, drawings and sculptures by Vancouver artist Lisa Birke that uses Olympic sport themes as a catalyst for exploring current issues and what she perceives as a global state of mind. Once described as “fleeting, complex and often chaotic” with “a crackling visu - al inventiveness”, her artworks have a sense of urgency and speed. The paintings have multiple, futuristic over - laps of shape, colour and detail. In an effort to imitate the manner in which she feels bombard - ed with imagery and layers of windows on her computer desktop, Birke has created collage- like pieces using different styles and tech - niques. The treatment is quite compatible with her theme of the Olympics: it produces an almost cacophonic mêlée of audiences, settings, equipment and athletes. As she describes them, “I am interested in new ways of interpretation, organization, and representation of imagery and information of a society viewing life and Lisa Birke, Race to the End (2009), oil on canvas [Bau-Xi Gallery, existence through cyber windows”. Vancouver BC, Feb 6-27] A 1999 BFA graduate of Emily Carr University of Art and Design, Birke continues to teach in the ECU Continuing Studies program as well as for their Teen Foundation and Teen Spring Intensive programs. Her paintings on the theme of ice hockey were included in Arena: Art of Hockey (2008- 09), a touring group exhibit shown at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, Halifax; Art Gallery of Alberta, Edmonton; and the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art, Toronto. Birke has shown with the Bau-Xi Galleries since 2000 and is an active participant in charity auctions, community art projects and artist-run centres. Mia Johnson

With a heavy emphasis on re-cycled, inexpensively acquired and experimental materials, the participants investigate the themes and iconography of popular culture in a singularly humourous and ironic manner. The “sample of new directions” addresses such themes as war and disaster, the notion of machismo, Canadiana, the financial crisis and global warming. Calgary artist Lisa Brawn creates wood-cuts with roughly-carved portraits of contemporary and historic people – locals, celebrities, musicians, Canadian cultur - al heroes and politicians. In a disorderly cross between Wil Murray and new graphic artists like Fiona Acker - man, the team of Dave and Jenn combine a painterly sensibility, raw materials in saturated hues, and signa - ture elements from contemporary design. They describe the colourful pieces as being loosely based on their own inner landscapes and imaginary scenarios, with reference to “Make-believe, Technology, real time, Christopher Moore, Passive Pink (Grenade) (2009), plastic Science, the Internet, the Art world, history and toys, rayon flocking, edition of 750 [University of Lethbridge hearsay…” Art Gallery, Lethbridge AB, Main Gallery to Feb 26/Helen Christou Gallery, to Mar 5] Shanell Papp has sewn fleece fabrics into large pools for the gallery floor, while Lethbridge artist Len Komanac has fashioned low tech, whimsical mod - els and dioramas of suburban institutions such as trailer parks. Jason Mathis presents his novelty images entitled Ersatz Bats – portraits of friends all dressed in the same Batman costume. Montreal-based Christopher Moore steals the show visually with his hot pink and camouflage transformations of mili - tary weapons and uniforms installed in the Helen Christou Gallery space until March 5.

Woodward’s 2010: Better Than One Could Imagine The Woodward's Department Store, first established at Main and Georgia Streets in 1892, moved in 1903 to Hastings and Abbott, a short walk from Gastown. In 1908 and several times thereafter, it expanded to almost fill a city block. Some parts of the earlier portions of the sprawling edifice fea - tured roof-line pediments and curved concrete arches E E L

over upper storey windows that were typical of the N A M

Italianate style popular in Vancouver at the time. R R O G

In 1993 bankruptcy forced the store to shut : O T O H

down. The mammoth art show, Artropolis ’93 , was P staged in the lower floors after the closure, and was the last important public event held in the premises. As an Artropolis board member, I had the opportuni - ty to peek into Woodward’s secret places such as the dungeon-like sub-basement, and to view several of the 10 to 12-foot high floors that were suspended from an internal grid of steel girders which could never be reconfigured. It was difficult to imagine how any part of the old structure could be re-used and as the area deteriorated, Woodward's became an empty ruin besieged by squatters. Everyone knew that all significant change to the neighbourhood depended on what would happen at Woodward's. On September 4, 2004, after ten years of futile negotiations, the City of Vancouver chose Westbank Projects/Peterson Investment Group to develop and Gregory Henriquez Partners Archtitects to design the Atrium of the Woodward’s complex with the photo- 400-million dollar Woodward’s project. In the fall of mural, Abbott & Cordova, 7 August 1971 , by Stan 2006, after the landmark 1944 ‘W’ sign with Eiffel Douglas over the entrance Tower-like support and parts of the original edifice were removed, what was left of the department store came down in a thundering implosion. The exciting new multi-purpose Woodward’s complex is comprised of four major structures, two of which are towers containing over seven hun - dred units of market and subsidized housing. The flat-iron shape of tower W-43 makes an intentional allusion to Vancouver’s historic Hotel Europe and the Dominion Building. The SFU Woodward's structure is home to the Simon Fraser University School for the Contemporary Arts, the Audain Gallery and the Fei and Milton Wong Experimental Theatre. E E L

The Stan Douglas masterwork above the entry into the atrium had its N A

M formal introduction on January 15. The amazing 30 by 50-foot photo- R R O G

Ken Lum’s text piece, installed in Woodward’s ‘W’ is illuminated several Hastings Street windows on January 13, launched the Audain by 6,000 low energy LED lights Gallery's Coming Soon ongoing project of public art installations. The first show to open within the Gallery space, First Nations/Second Nature , will be exhibited from February 6-March 20, 2010. The 2.5 ton replica of the revolving illuminated ‘W’ secured in the original roof-top position on its "Eiffel Tower" and studded with 6,000 specially designed, low energy LED lights, was cer - emoniously lit on January 15. The whole complex is a wonderful example of revitalized history.

Hamilton. He has created site-specific perform - E T R U O C

ances at the McMichael Canadian Art Collec - E G A M tion, the Royal Ontario Museum, and at Comp - I ton Verney. In The Triumph of Mischief , Monkman draws inspiration from Western histories as pictured in 19th century art. He creates new works that inject First Nations subject matter as well as queer narratives into scenes based on old pho - tographs, paintings, classic Hollywood westerns Kent Monkman, The Treason of Images (2008), acrylic on canvas and colonial portrayals of Aboriginal peoples. [TrépanierBaer Gallery, Feb 11-Mar 11 and Glenbow Museum, Feb 13-Apr 25, Calgary AB] Stereotypes of masculinity and queer culture are confronted and skewed through his witty scenarios of Pioneer orgies and homoerotic fantasies. Hilar - ious and biting, his greatly refreshed accounts challenge the “authority” of western history and the manner in which it was depicted from a Eurocentric point of view by such artists as Paul Kane and Cornelius Krieghoff. The Triumph of Mischief originated as a collaborative project between the Art Gallery of Hamilton, the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art and the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, and was also shown at the Winnipeg Art Gallery. It features paintings and multimedia works from the last five years. There will be a solo exhibit of Monkman’s recent paintings at TrépanierBaer Gallery, Calgary from February 11-March 11.

He is particularly attracted to burnt- out, derelict or partially demolished domestic interiors. Nizam's images nonetheless are appealing for their fine detail and nuances of subject matter. His use of light through win - dows imbues his photographs with a romantic sensibility that almost belies his political messages about lost and abandoned domiciles, both public and private. They have a lovely nostal - gic feeling coupled with the sense of fear and disaster found in images from the Great Depression. Nizam, in a previous series of chromogenic prints pho - tographed inside the pre-renovated Woodward's building at night, used ambient light to reveal the dilapidated surfaces of the abandoned rooms. Last year he was granted access to the Little Mountain housing project between 33rd and 37th Avenues. The oldest public housing development in Vancou - ver, the buildings are slated for demolition to make way for a combination of condominiums and social housing. Assuming residence in an empty third-floor apartment, Nizam document - James Nizam, freestyle standing sculpture using ed the rooms and created freestyle standing sculptures of dis - lightbulbs (2009) [Gallery Jones, Vancouver BC, Feb 4-27] carded materials that included lightbulbs, doors, drawers, shelves and pieces of plumbing. Much like Jerry Pethick’s sculptures of the 80s, the iconic pictures project both whimsy and dejection. Nizam earned his BFA at UBC in 2002. His work has since been well-championed by Flash Forward , Border Crossings, Canadian Art, The Globe & Mail , among others. Recent exhibitions include Birch Libralato Gallery (Toronto), Kathleen Cullen Fine Art and Michael Mazzeo Gallery (New York), Galerie Art Mûr (Montreal), Griffin Photography Museum (Boston), and Scalo|Guye (Los Angeles).

P images and information about a family’s history, spiritual A N I S U

:

O grounds for marriages, mournings, memorials, coming-of-age T O H P and naming ceremonies, and events celebrating conquests and accomplishments. Curated by UBC professor Charlotte Townsend-Gault, the Backstory exhibit brings together contemporary curtains by Ḳi- ḳe-in (Ron Hamilton) with historical curtains from muse - um and private collections in Canada and the United States. Motifs include coastal mountains, the sea, ancestral figures, supernatural beings and wildlife indigenous to the region including whales, salmon and other sea creatures. The narra - tive works are accompanied by photographs, documents and interviews. Originally thliitsapilthim (ceremonial curtains) were painted on cedar planks or panels using locally derived pig - ments from charcoal, ochre and other minerals, and ground shells. Since the past century, ceremonial curtains have been Ki-ke-in painting the thliitsapilthim (ceremonial painted on sail cloth or cotton by dedicated artists such as curtain) of Ha'wilth Nuukmiis of the House of Tim Paul, the late Art Thompson, and Ḳi- ḳe-in , who Iiwaasaht, Opitsat-h, Tla-o-qui-aht, in Vancouver, describes them as “They are who we are”.

Shown at both Jennifer Kos - tuik, Vancouver and Herringer Kiss, Calgary this spring, the photographs feature huge expanses of earth, air and water rendered large and neutral through an 8 x 10 inch view cam - era – vistas described as “ … an infinite field on which society builds and transforms the landscape”. With his signature long exposures and printed as large format Cibachromes, the images include recognizable views of architecture and skylines in Dubai, Shanghai, Venice, Los Angeles and other international cities. Many pictures show a thin, Morse code-like edge of buildings separating sea from sky which can be read “as the DNA for whatever city/settle - ment is contained within the image”. Burdeny earned a Master of Architecture in 1998 from the University of Manitoba. He has been the recipient of numerous international photography awards, including an Award of Excellence from the Communication Arts Photo David Burdeny, Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai UAE (2009), chromogenic print, transmounted to Annual Competition, and has several International B+W Plexiglas [Herringer Kiss Gallery Calgary AB, Feb 6- Spider Awards to his credit. In 2008, out of 23,000 submis - 27 and Jennifer Kostuik Gallery, Vancouver BC, Feb sioins, Burdeny won the Nature Photographer of the Year 28-Mar 14 ] Award at the Pilsner Urquell International Photography Awards (IPA).

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 55 Conservator’s Corner Preserve Your Investment through Art Conservation Thoughts from a Gallery Director: Susanna Strem, Chali-Rosso Gallery, www.chalirosso.com Any art gallery that deals with historical art must deal with important conservation issues as well. Maintaining quality is a difficult yet crucial matter, particularly when it involves works on paper. Recently, several clients have brought in for consignment artwork that was not properly protected and this can adversely affect the value of a work of art. Restorative conservation treatments can minimize this type of damage, but prevention is always best. Paper is a delicate, liv - ing, breathing entity which is sensitive to all environmental effects. Natural and even artificial light can cause colours to fade and papers to discolour. Direct contact with non acid-free mate - rials like wood or old backboards and matting, will “burn” the paper, leaving brownish staining along areas of contact. Storing in high humidity areas can cause foxing, believed to be a fungal growth that causes brownish spots and discolouration. All the above intrusions can be prevented by insisting on proper framing materials including rag matting, UV protective glass, and professional assembly to reduce moisture ingress. Remember to always place your artwork in areas that are nei - ther extremely humid nor dry. When investing in collectible art, we recommend you inquire about the condition of the artwork and even request a condition report. Flaws and damage will affect the selling Braque lithograph before conservation treatment price so if you are selling investment art, we strongly advise you to consider restoration before placing it on the market. Once you have established that a work of art is actually restorable, the major consideration is to determine how to best proceed with minimal intervention. A professional conservator knows how to preserve the work without compromising its originality. Thoughts from a Conservator: Rebecca Pavitt, Fine Art Conservation, www.fineartconserve.com “Is it worth conserving?” This is a question I am often asked, but am unable to answer because this means putting a value on a piece of art. Sentimental value is something only the owner or care - taker can determine and monetary evaluation is outside of most conservators' area of expertise. Our Code of Ethics prohibits us from appraising artworks in order to prevent possible conflict of interest. Like Caesar’s wife, conservators like to be above suspicion. This is why conservators often work with galleries and appraisers who can place a value on art and artifacts, thus help - ing the owner or buyer answer the question, “Is it worth it?” Two basic considerations are used to determine most conser - vation plans: long-term stability and appearance. Appraisers and gallery owners can help the owner determine the best con - servation cost/value added ratio for an individual piece. In the case of this Braque lithograph, Chali-Rosso Gallery determined that foxing and matte burn distracted the viewer’s attention from the beauty of the piece, and that conservation treatment would improve its appearance and marketability. Treatment involved removal of the metallic nuclei of the fox - ing spots, chelation to bind any remaining metals and help flush soluble discolouration, bleaching to remove discoloura - tion, rinsing and depositing an alkaline reserve to provide future protection to the paper.

Chapter 21. The Case of the Political Portraitist I first became aware of portraiture by the Swedish painter Alexander Roslin (1718-1793) when I stumbled on a copy of the same portrait Roslin had painted in 1768 of his artist wife, Marie- Suzanne Giroust. The copy was painted in oil on canvas board, measured approximately 18 x 14 inches, and was signed and dated in the lower right, "G. Godkin 1951". On the reverse, "G. Godkin 1951" was written in oil paint in what appeared to be the hand of the artist, and in pencil were the words "Lady with a Veil". Affixed to the back was a gallery label from Hartley's Picture Crafts, Victoria, B.C. and a notation for delivery to a Mrs. W. Godkin of Kenora, Ontario by express COD. I was intrigued. The original painting by Roslin entitled Lady with a Veil is in the permanent collection of The National Museum in Stockholm, . Roslin's admirable realistic depiction of his wife is alluring, reverential and provocative. It evokes a sense of femininity, mystery and seduction, and pays homage to the committed loving relationship that both appear to share and enjoy. How did a mid-20th century. copy by G. Godkin come Lady With a Veil by Alexander Roslin to be addressed to a W. Godkin in Kenora, presumably around the same time as the painting was produced? I doubt that the painting was copied from an image in a book as large-scale colour reproductions of relatively obscure works were probably not available at that time and, of course, this would presuppose that the National Museum had licensed commercial reproductions of artworks from its collection. I surmised that the artist G. Godkin had been at the museum in the early 1950s, and had painted a copy from the original with the intention of mailing it to his or her relative in Kenora. Possibly it could have arrived in Victo - ria as part of the household belongings of a family which had settled on Vancouver Island. A number of portraits of Imperial Russian statesmen have been attributed to Alexander Roslin including those of Ivan Betskoi (1704-1795) and Ivan Shuvalov (1727- 1797). Betskoi was a Russian school reformer who served as advisor to Catherine II on matters of education. He was President of the Imperial Academy of the Arts from 1764- 94, and established a unified system of public education in Russia. Shuvalov was the first Russian Minister of Educa - tion, and he actively participated in the founding of Russ - ian theatre, university, and arts academy institutions. Lady With a Veil by G.

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 75 www.leighdon.ca Momentum: 25 Artists / From Past to Present LEIGHDON STUDIO GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Feb 2-27, 2010 Some artists cannot sustain the merciless world of competition, art politics, rejection and penury – and fall by the wayside. Momentum is an exhibition of works by artists who did persevere over the decades, continuing their work in spite of ups and downs and, by doing so, creating an important heritage of visual art for British Columbia. —Pnina Granirer, curator, Momentum The Coast Art Trust Society is a group of local artists who began forming a collection of their works in 2006 to establish its historical validity. To qualify, donors must be exhibiting artists with at least thirty years of creative activity. In 2009, the University of Victoria assumed responsibility for holding the col lection. Momentum features two works each – one created recently and one created before 1990 – from the first donor members of the Coast Art Trust Society: Don - na Balma, Joan Balzar, Anna Banana, Mary Blaze, Susanna Blunt, Ross Bollerup, Audrey Capel Doray, Gregg Simpson, Spiked Landscape (1987), oil on canvas [Leighdon Studio Gallery, Vancouver BC, Feb 2-27] James W. Felter, Stephen Gibbons-Barrett, Pnina Granirer, Sherrard Grauer, John Haig, Jeannie Kamins, John Koerner, Jeanne Krabbendam, Leo Labelle, Sally Michener, Marilyn S. Mylrea, Kal Opré, Sharon Perkins, Friedrich Peter, Henri Robideau, Gregg Simpson, Bob Steele and from guest artist Jane Richardson. The span of twenty or more years between art - works is intended to highlight both the continuity and the growth of each artist. Interesting compar - isons can thus be seen between styles, themes, materials and presentation formats. Many of the participants have had a measure of success: some have participated in major exhibitions locally, nationally and internationally, and some have their works in permanent gallery collections or Gregg Simpson, Summer Days (2008), oil on canvas [Leighdon documented in books, films and critical reviews.

A strong sense of Dadaist humour is apparent in a lot of mail art along with an emphasis on the fact that it exists outside com - mercial and institutional galleries as a collaborative, communications-based initiative which preceded the emergence of web-based social media by 40 years. For Mail Art Olympix , Ed Varney has curated an exhibit of work from over 350 artists in 41 countries, much of it presented together with colourfully decorat - ed envelopes. The exhibition has three themes or “event” categories: the artist Self Portrait, which has long been a popular format for mail artists who trade personal and geographic information to encourage trav - elling and social visits; Artistamps, representing work by artists who produce sheets of postage stamps and rubber stamp art; and Manifestos, showcasing work Salvatore Felllino, digital self-portrait [Penticton Art defining mail artists’ thoughts and intentions – political, Gallery, Penticton BC, Jan 22-Mar 14] economic, social and artistic. The latter category is also concerned with portrayals of the contempo - rary gallery system as being closed, elitist and money-driven. In 1968, Ed Varney and Harry Rappaport established Intermedia Press which had evolved as the printing and publishing arm of Vancouver's Intermedia Society. Varney first began producing unique and collectible artist stamps in 1984. He heads the Museo Internacionale de Neu Art and was the creator of Mondo Postale, both mail art initiatives.

www.blackfish.com Migrating Messages: Steve Tilden, Paul Merchant & Tomas Svoboda BLACKFISH GALLERY, PORTLAND OR – Feb 2-27, 2010 Migrating Messages is a collaboration of artist Steve Tilden, writer and scholar Paul Merchant and composer Tomas Svoboda. The resulting art- works reflect the writings of Sugawara no Michizane (845-903), a 9th century Japanese poet, politi- cian and Court scholar of the Heian period. The project began several years ago with the translation of Michizane’s text by Paul Mer- chant, an archivist at Lewis and Clark College Library. Tomas Svoboda, whose works are per- formed internationally, created Migrating Mes- sages as a 23-minute concerto based on the text translation, for xylophone and tape. Visual artist Steve Tilden filtered aspects of both the musical and written components to create three major artworks that correlate with the three movements of Svoboda’s concerto. Steve Tilden, Longing For Home, excerpt from Notes for Time by Paul Tilden’s first piece is a 24-foot wide land- Merchant (2009) [detail], steel, shellac and acrylic on panel [Blackfish scape depicting Michizane’s journey into exile. Gallery, Portland OR, Feb 2-27] Guided by Svoboda’s musical score, the six-pan- el piece simplifies into broad atmospheric forms the topography of mountains, fields and hills where Michizane travelled. For the second “movement”. Tilden used a bold red colour to represent sound. The sweeping notes of Svoboda’s score is reflected in a 40-foot span of distorted steel pan- els which hang from the ceiling in graduating sizes. For his third piece, Tilden utilized Merchant’s Notes for Time, a chapbook he created for the project that combines translated excerpts of Michizane’s poetry and his own original writings on the subject. Tilden literally fabricated the “poem sculptures” – a term he uses to describe the parchment-like panels that physically interpret words through small rhythmic assemblages of metal verse.

McFarland combines numerous separate exposures taken at different times into single images of parks, private gardens and forests, as well as structures such as zoos, cabins and boat- houses. Several essays examine McFarland’s practice, which shares the West Coast sensibility and staging techniques of Jeff Wall and Roy Arden without the neutral stance.Published by Douglas & McIntyre for the Vancouver Art Gallery exhibit.

His new installation, spanning 25 feet of gallery wall, depicts a locomotive and the sensation of movement. The large-scale work was exe- cuted on 10 print-based panels over five feet tall and are embellished with a conglomeration of richly exe- cuted details in oil, wax, india ink, and other media. The effect is encompassing, partly due to scale and partly because of the way de Maria defines his surfaces with a textural intricacy that is enticing. The main print of a locomotive is the unifying structure, and de Maria creates the rhythmic effect of rid- ing on a train by fragmenting the composi- tion with layers of collaged, painted and printed areas. Sections of imagery and newspaper clippings are partially obscured, woven beneath bolder foregrounds that stretch the length of the train in earthy Benito Rangel de Maria, Constant Motion 1 (2009), digital component, wax, shades of yellow and white. watercolour, newsprint, oil, pencil, India ink, mixed media on paper [Monarch Contemporary, Seattle WA, through Feb 27] His "visual essays" create a metaphor about the constancy of time. Accumulated memories overlap with visual sensations to replicate qualities of contemporary life. The continual motion of these bold unifying markings carry the collective experience of the newsprint ephemera into the present moment. Worn and weathered markings evoke the passage of time and lend an element of physicality to the otherwise transient feeling of the piece. Allyn Cantor

www.fryemuseum.org Tim Rollins and K.O.S.: A History FRYE ART MUSEUM, SEATTLE WA – Jan 23-May 31, 2010 In 1981, at age 26, Tim Rollins was hired by Intermediate School 52 in the South Bronx to create a curriculum for academically and emotion- ally “at risk” students. He developed a process whereby texts such as Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream and Franz Kafka's Amerika were read aloud, and he would then encourage students to relate the readings to their own experiences and respond through drawing, painting, prints and sculpture. The collaborative projects were turned into large-scale canvasses that incorporated the students' artwork and pages from the books. The process yielded unique and sophisticated finished works of art. Tim Rollins and K.O.S.: A History surveys 25 years of work by Tim Rollins and his group of for- mer middle school students, who have become known as K.O.S. or Kids of Survival. Rollins and K.O.S. are internationally recognized for their collective art practice using lit- erature and music as a basis for their paintings and prints. Rollins' public school lessons evolved into an after-school pro- gram, the Art and Knowledge Tim Rollins and K.O.S.

In 1987 Rollins' ideas expanded past the South Bronx through travelling workshops at other schools and art institutions. The artwork produced by Tim Rollins and K.O.S. has been exhibited in two Whitney Biennials, the 1988 Venice Biennale, and several solo shows at major venues such as the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles. It is also represented in prominent collections including the Tate Gallery in London and the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Many K.O.S. members are still active today in Philadelphia, Memphis, San Francisco, and New York. Allyn Cantor
