www.aggv.bc.ca Graeme Patterson:Woodrow preview ART GALLERY OF GREATER VICTORIA, VICTORIA BC – Mar 14-May 11 Woodrow is a 1:10 scale re-cre- ation of a tiny town in rural Saskatchewan. With a population of fewer than 10 people, most of the main architectural structures in Woodrow are abandoned, and it is on the brink of becoming a ghost town. Woodrow is also artist Graeme Patterson's home town, and where he currently resides and works. The complex multimedia installation includes scale models of buildings and the use of animated and kinetic machinery, stop-motion animation, electronics and audio to bring the set to life. Includ- ed are the town's grain elevator, church, hockey arena, a barn, a machine shop and studio, a house and a set of grain bins. Romanticised memories of his family's farm inspired the moving images and audio that light and animate the scene. Images of animals and people project from within the barn, kinetic machinery can be heard in the grain elevator, a lathe and milling machine run in the shop, robotic pests make appear- ances, the heads and eyes of a group of deer are ani- mated by motion detectors and a 24-hour time lapse loop of a prairie vista extends the sculptural road in COLLECTION: NATIONAL GALLERY OF CANADA, OTTAWA the set.

www.newzones.com William Perehudoff: 60’s to 90’spreview NEWZONES GALLERY OF CONTEMPORARY ART, CALGARY AB – Mar 8-Apr 5 Born in 1919, William Perehudoff is a senior Canadian abstract artist who has been painting for five decades. 60's-90's is a solo exhibition of historically important works painted between the 1960s and the 1990s. In 1993, Nancy Tousley described his style as “…a space in which a dialogue among forms gives rise to feeling.” Paintings from the 60s are of particular interest as they reflect most strongly the creative inspiration of the Emma Lake Artists' Workshops in the 1950s and 1960s. Perehudoff participated in workshops attended by Will Barnet (1957), Herman Cherry (1961), Clement Greenberg (1962), Kenneth Noland (1983) and Donald Judd (1968). In subsequent decades, Perehudoff continued to develop his sense of form, composition and colour – all key elements of his work. Although he is often cited as a Colour Field painter, his imagery has actually evolved from Cubist-derived geometry in the 1960s and 1970s, through painterly applica- tions in the 1980s, to complex compositions stimulated by his Doukhabor heritage in the 1990s. His work has been widely exhibited in Canada with museum shows at the Saskatoon's Mendel Art Gallery, The Edmonton Art Gallery and the Glenbow Art Gallery in Calgary, as well as shows in commer- cial art galleries across the country. His paintings are in private and public collections in Canada, the U.S. and Europe. In 1988, Perehudoff became a workshop leader at Emma Lake. In 1999, he received the Order of Canada in recognition of his outstanding artistic William Perehudoff, AC-95-7 achievements and for his ongoing contributions to Canadian art. In 2003, he (1995), acrylic on canvas received an Honorary Doctorate degree from the University of Regina.

DOUGLAS UDELL GALLERY Vancouver, British Columbia, 1558 W 6th Ave, 604.736.8900 www.douglasudellgallery.com • [email protected] www.arts.surrey.ca Janet Cardiff: Forty-Part Motetpreview SURREY ART GALLERY, SURREY BC – through Mar 23 Janet Cardiff is a Canadian installation artist who studied at Queen's University and at the University of Alberta. She works in collaboration with her partner George Bures Miller. Cardiff and Miller currently live and work in Berlin. Cardiff represented Canada at the São Paulo Art Bienni- al (1998), and with Miller at the 6th Istanbul Biennial (1999) and the 49th Venice Biennale (2001). They were the first Canadians to win the Special Award at the Venice Biennale. Forty-Part Motet is a sublimely beautiful sound installation Cardiff created in 2001. The sculpturally-conceived sound artwork was pre- viously shown (and heard) at the Museum of Modern Art, New York and the Tate Gallery, London. The Surrey Art Gallery hosts the first exhibition of this work in British Columbia. Janet Cardiff, Forty-Part Motet (2001), 40-track audio installation, Cardiff began by recording 40 individual 14 minutes in duration [Surrey Art Gallery, Surrey BC, through members of the Salisbury Cathedral Choir per- Mar 23] forming Spem in Alium by 16th century English composer Thomas Tallis. The composition is considered to be one of the most complex pieces of polyphonic choral music ever written. Cardiff then edited a 14-minute loop with 11 minutes of music and a 3-minute intermission, which is then delivered through 40 speakers arranged in 8 groupings. Each speaker plays a recording of one voice singing and the audience is invited to walk through the space and "sample" individual voices of the polyphonic vocal music. Forty-Part Motet is a realization of Cardiff's vision to "climb inside" music and to hear it from every angle and not from just one passive position afforded by a theatre seat. She writes: “I am also interested in how sound may construct a space in a sculptural way and how the audience may choose a path through this physical yet virtual space.” The exhibition is one of the featured events co-presented by the Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad.

If you can’t visit the AGGV in person, check it out in Cyberspace Westbank Projects Corporation's revised proposal to include new premises for the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria within the Crystal Court condominium complex (near The Fairmont Empress Hotel), was regretfully declined by the AGGV. In a November 2007 press release, AGGV board president, Peter Maddaugh, stated that the Gallery, as redesigned, would not have been “the stand-alone facility that the institution deemed essential.” In a telephone interview, Shirley Madill (AGGV Director/CEO) said that “…the search for an ideal Downtown location will go on.” Although a long-time Vancouver resident, I confess that, despite knowing of the importance of certain aspects of the collection, I have seldom visited the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria. Now that I no longer have a car, getting to 1040 Moss Street on foot or by bus, would be impossible on a one-day excursion. If the AGGV was as conveniently located as is the Royal Museum of B.C., the Gallery profile would be greatly enhanced and visiting it would be much easier. I suspect that few people in the province know that this 57-year-old institution has a collection of some 1,700 works, which is almost twice that of the Vancouver Art Gallery. The AGGV has impressive holdings in the area of Asian art, and their Asian Garden features North America's only authentic Shinto shrine. The Gallery opened in the 1889 Spencer Mansion when the mansion along with extensive grounds, was gifted to the The Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, at 1040 Moss Street in Victoria city in 1951. The seven modern galleries added in 1955 and 1978, were subsequently renovated from 2001-2003 to bring the AGGV up to international museum standards. When visiting any gallery, one only sees the tip of the collection iceberg, as what is in storage, is often always in storage. If an institution boasts of its strength in, for example, Asian art, one would like to see enough examples to have that claim validated. Similarly, if there is a declaration of an on-going interest in the acquisition of contemporary Canadian art, it would be good to have substantive proof of that statement. In addition to having access to a very well-designed, complex, information-filled site when Googling the Gallery's whole name (or by entering: www.aggv.bc.ca), one comes upon quite a surprise. During the last four years, the AGGV has been building a Web production that already contains over 15,000 images with documents pertaining to its collection that are yours to browse through when you click on ARTBase. The site still contains many visual blanks (probably because the institution is still working on the necessary photography) and there are quite a few images which cannot be shown because of copyright reasons. All titles, dates, etc., are indicated to allow the searcher to learn a good deal of useful information about the works and about the blend of art pieces in the collection. The Asian holdings (which I've always been very curious about) are “virtually” (if you'll pardon the pun) manifested in ARTBase. Through this tool, a substantial chunk of the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria's acquisitions iceberg, is revealed.

As a self-taught painter, she has developed techniques with multiple layers of paint and acrylic media that are scraped and molded. A great deal is left to chance as the watery media settles in unexpected patterns and shapes. Taking as her theme the cyclical nature of exis- tence, the Los Angeles-based artist creates panel paint- ings depicting small organisms floating within washes of colour and disintegrating structures. Vertical panels, as tall as 54 inches, present organic shapes like snails, leaves, flowers and plankton falling through watery space and bubbling up again like lava lamps or Aurora Borealis. Indra's Net is her third solo exhibition at Jennifer Kostiuk in Vancouver. The new series of paintings Colleen Flynn-Lawson, Aadi Grid #1 [detail] (2006), shows a broader perspective than found in previous acrylic on panel [Jennifer Kostuik Gallery, Vancouver BC, Feb 21-Mar 16] work which explored moments of transformation in minute life forms. The title refers to the mythological Buddhist structure that infinitely stretches across the universe and connects all life forms. Taking Indra's Net as a metaphor, Flynn-Lawson seeks to capture an impression of the flow and flux of life as both an interconnected force and an interdependent evolution. Titles of individual works employ Sanskrit names like Niranjana, Bhogi- ni, Pratistha and Viviktastha that reflect theories of transformation, body-mind harmony, purity and core concepts of non-attachment in a universe in motion.

In co-operation with Vancouver furniture company, Van Gogh Designs, the industrial design students learned to plan and build furnishings that are small in scale, multi-functional, and environmentally sustainable. The unique pieces, which must pass a life-cycle analysis, address not only design elements but the management of harmful substances. Modular furnishings are a sign of the times for a mobile society living in small spaces. The versatile, spatially-efficient, uphol- stered furniture in the exhibition is described as celebrating the worth, warmth and potential of wood. The pieces feature wood certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), which is a non-profit organization devoted to responsible management of the world's forests and to providing an international certification and labelling system for wood materials.

Themes of religion, urbanism, war, imperi- al expansion, funerary practices, intellectual life, and family are conveyed through urns, sarcophagi, ritual objects, military medallions and iconographic statues of Isis, Venus, Minerva and Bacchu. Early depictions of circus games, portraits of actors, and theatri- cal masks provide insight into multiple areas of Roman culture. The exhibit also focuses on ways the Romans celebrated the dead. The exhibition will close with ancient statues that have been repeatedly repaired and altered since the Renaissance, reflecting both the importance of Roman art and the way in which it has been collected, interpreted, and restored over the centuries.

Never one to hold back, Featherston's straight-forward criticism inspired artists like Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun, Laurie Papou, Attila Richard Lukacs, Derek Root, Angela Grossmann and Graham Gillmore. Featherston's own art is equally guileless and pointed. Since moving to the West Coast in 1971, his large-scale figurative paintings have docu- mented the social concerns of working-class heroes and characters that populate his small- town B.C. community. Recent work depends on political satire of “imperialist and corporate forces.” In New World Order, a group of images of public spectacles combine contemporary issues with references to Bill Featherston, Condi Plays, Lebanon Ablaze, mixed media on paintings by Magritte, Ingres and Rousseau. With board [Art Gallery of the South Okanagan, Penticton BC, through grand themes like Ozymandius and the burning Mar 9] of Nero's Rome, he places controversial 20th cen- tury figures like Harvey Milk and Condoleezza Rice in art historical settings. His accusatory satires are well-aimed at the viewer's discomfort. These are shown together with a series of self-portraits that document Featherston's ongoing interest in composition, colour, style and in materials.

Chapter 13. The Case of Wyland’s Whales on Walls I had been engaged by the building and mural's owner to appraise the artwork as demolition of the building was being considered as part of an urban renewal project. The owner was also considering relocating the mural or incorporating it into the new redevelopment proposal, however, reaction to the wall's (and mural's) possible demise was mixed. Some pondered, 'I'm not so impressed with it as a piece of art. It's just a way to cover a wall', while others fumed,'…. you don't burn books. Art is sacred'. Still others quipped, 'it's just another piece of advertising indirectly enhancing their (business) profit margins'. The mural was a 1984 gift to the city from Californian marine artist (Robert) Wyland and the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. It depicts a mother grey whale and her calf, along with a male escort, passing White Rock on their annual migration between Mexico and the Bering Sea. Initially the mural had been proposed for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation building in Vancouver BC (the CBC graciously declined), and due to the tenacious efforts of the City of Mural, part of The Orcas of Puget Sound Series, acrylic paint on White Rock's planner, the project was cementicious ground on concrete block, image size approximately re-located to the City of White Rock. 9 × 14 metres, signed Wyland 84, left lower centre The Bank of B.C. which owned the building in 1984, was understandably hesitant about being associated with Wyland's Whaling Wall. Then, on the day of the unveiling, Bank Spokesman Gerrard O'Keefe indicated that at first the Bank was a little skeptical, but was 'tickled pink' to be part of it. Unfortunately, since the unveiling, the mural has been the cause of at least one recorded motor vehicle accident when a young lady caught by the beauty of the whales, looked for a second too long. She wandered slightly in her lane, hit the concrete abutment, and wrecked her car. There were those who claimed comparisons to billboard advertising saying that 'If your whales were tuna, your mural would only be a few words away from an ad for Starkist'. Still other dissenting voices claimed hucksterism and megalomania. The artist was portrayed as a 'transient illustrator with some time to kill and a truckload of free paint', and others pined, 'An unhampered view, a few trees, even an unadorned block wall would be better than this assault on our sensibilities'. Wyland created the mural over a period of three weeks beginning around September 5, 1984. The official unveiling took place on September 29 and was attended by Wyland, Wyland's mother, Paul Watson (founder and President of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society), Gordon Hogg (Mayor of White Rock), and others. Approximately $2,000 was donated by Cloverdale Paint and Chemicals Ltd., and the Ocean Beach Hotel provided accommodation for Wyland whose meals were donated by local restaurants. Wyland, who donated his time free of charge, worked with one assistant and from time to time, with local volunteers. A plaque was positioned across the street from the mural indicating that the mural was a ‘gift’ from Wyland and the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society to the City of White Rock.

He was the abstract expressionist in Vonnegut’s Bluebeard who lost fame, fortune and his place in the annals of art history because the paint he used fell off his canvases: “The whole planet is now fubar with post war miracles but back in the early 1960’s I was one of the first persons to be totally wrecked by one – an acrylic wall paint whose colors, according to the advertisements of the day, would….outlive the smile on the Mona Lisa.” The name of the paint was Sateen-Dura Luxe. Mona Lisa is still smiling. And your local paint dealer, if he has been in business for any length of time, will laugh in your face if you ask for Sateen-Dura Luxe.”† These days most manufacturers go to great lengths to test, standardize, and provide technical information about their materials, but there will be times when the artist will want to test the materials they use themselves. One way to do this with a minimum of fuss and bother is the Oddy Test. Andrew Oddy, former Keeper of Conservation at the British Museum, came up with this “quick and Distilled water, silver, copper and lead, the materials used dirty” method to determine the stability of display in an Oddy Test materials. The suspect material (e.g. fibreboard, carpet, paper, etc.) is put in a sealed container with a small amount of distilled water and clean samples of silver, copper and lead, metals which are highly sensitive to potentially harmful volatiles such as sulpher, acid and aldehydes. The sealed sample is heated to 60 degrees Centigrade for 28 days, after which the metals are examined for changes in appearance – e.g., silver tarnish, copper corrosion such as verdigris, or white deposits on lead. This is the standard test, but variations can certainly be made. The sealed container can be heated with a desk lamp, or on a heating pad, instead of in an oven, and if change to the metals is seen before 28 days, one doesn’t have to keep the experiment running full term. The idea is to get a general picture, not a precise measurement. This test can be used “as is” to see if the artist’s material itself emits self-damaging volatiles. It can also be used as a rough and ready accelerated aging chamber. In this case the artist’s material is substituted for the metals and bits of display or framing materials added to the jar. (One might want to add a few drops of ethanol to the water to prevent organic materials from molding). Or, one could expose the artist’s material to agents that are known to emit harmful volatiles (e.g. rubber to emit sulphur, white vinegar for acetic acid, etc.) to see how well the material, or protective coating on the material would hold up under adverse conditions. Organics like paper don’t show damage as readily as the metal samples, so it might be necessary to extend the experimental time. This is just one of the tests that artists can run to get a small peek at what the future might hold for their creations. They are not gold standard analytic tests, but they will help give artists greater insight into the materials they use and how they interact with the environments they are put into.

She is pri- marily interested in artifacts of landscape. Bancroft's Root System, Pipeline Road, Stanley Park (2007) was a three-part series of images that examined how the ferocious wind- storms of December 2006 changed the face of the forest in Vancouver's Stanley Park. The pictures depict the underside of one of the thousands of trees that were uprooted. Human Nature (Alberta, Friesland, Suffolk) is also a series of photographs taken at sites of intense interaction with the landscape – but in this case, man-made. The images portray sites along the North Saskatchewan River where the Cana- dian fur trade took place in the early 19th century; along Marion Penner Bancroft, Drainage canal, Friesland, dikes in the highly altered lands and waterways of northern Netherlands (2002), chromogenic print [Republic Holland; and in the Suffolk countryside in England, where Gallery. Victoria BC, Mar 14-Apr 12] craters were formed by the dropping of excess bombs during the Second World War. The work explores the impact of human interventions and the ways in which nature reconfigures them. Bancroft studied at the University of British Columbia, the Vancouver School of Art (now ECI) and at the Ryerson Polytechnical Institute in Toronto. She taught at Simon Fraser University and at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design before her current position as Associate Professor in Pho- tography and Print Media at Emily Carr Institute. She is a member of the board of Artspeak Gallery and was previously represented by the Catriona Jeffries Gallery. Penner's work is in a number of public collections including the Vancouver Art Gallery, the Canada Council Art Bank and the Cana- dian Museum of Contemporary Photography in Ottawa. Mia Johnson

58 PREVIEW www.willamette.edu/museum_of_art/ James Lavadour:The Properties ofpreview Paint HALLIE FORD MUSEUM OF ART, SALEM OR – Feb 2-Mar 30 James Lavadour is an Eastern Oregon native and a self-taught artist who grew up on the Umatil- la Indian Reservation. His grid-based paintings capture the craggy masses of the mountainous region where he has lived most of his life. This exhibi- tion represents an eight year culmination of Lavadour's landscapes which are exhibited in combination with his lesser-known architectural structures. His surreal articulation of the region is grounded in the potent enigmatic forces of geological occurrences. The kinetic act of painting is first and foremost in Lavadour's works, which in essence are formal abstractions where gestural delineations are balanced amongst brooding tones and rich colourations moving between contrasts of light and dark, sharp edges and soft focus. His ener-

He seeks to embrace "the raw terror that exists in the natural world" with a heightened tension, and embody it within spontaneously painted surfaces. Combining small, separately painted panels in grid-like arrangements, Lavadour's pieces often present multiple views of dynamic vistas that alternate between ghostly shapes and changing panoramas. Some compositions imply atmospheric skies and voluminous forms through Lavadour's expressionistic method of applying paint. Panels shift between saturated colours that exaggerate the moody terrain, and foreboding washes with earthier tones. Allyn Cantor

His work (writing, printmaking and painting) has received numer- ous awards, grants and commissions, and is represented in private, corporate and public collections in Canada and abroad. Counterpoint: Recent Work began in 2006 and was triggered by the artist's deep dismay at that summer's bombing of Lebanon and the related violence in Israel, Palestine, Afghanistan and Iraq. His improvisational paintings have subsequently dealt with themes from the American "war on terror": the deaths of civilians, the secret pris- ons, the practice of torture, and the American invasion and occupa- tion of Iraq. Pierre Coupey was born in Montreal in 1942. He earned a BA at Pierre Coupey, Lebanon, Lebanon McGill University and an MA at the University of British Columbia.

His work has been exhibited mainly in public galleries and in other community spaces. A solo exhibition, Tangle: Recent Work, was held at the Burnaby Art Gallery in early 2006. Mia Johnson

62 PREVIEW ★ OPEN LATE ON FIRST THURSDAYS Exhibition Catalogues of Interest HERE THERE NOWHERE showcases fifteen oil paintings, each 74 x 80 inches, by Oregon artist Michael Brophy, with essays by Jonathan Raban and William L. Lang. The paintings depict the heavily politicized landscape of Eastern Oregon, dubbed “The Big Empty” by the artist and his friends, and chronicle both the wide open panoramas and the “wrecked nostalgia for wilderness” caused by logging, mining, agriculture, industry and dams along the Columbia River. Softcover, 52 pages, $35 USD. Available from the Laura Russo Gallery, Portland, 503-226-2754

NEXUS: HISTORIES AND COMMUNITIES is an extensive full-colour catalogue published by the Kelowna Art Gallery in conjunction with their 30th anniversary exhibition. Work was selected by curator Liz Wylie from the gallery’s holdings. Numerous anecdotes and critical essays accompany the beautifully presented artworks, many on fold-out panels, including a six-panel fold-out of nostalgic paintings of orchard workers and an old apple-packing plant by North Vancou- ver-based artist Jan Crawford. 140 pages, $25 CDN. Available from the Kelowna Art Gallery (250) 762-2226 or by email to: [email protected]

RECONCILIATION: THE LIFE AND WORK OF DONNA BALMA is a self-pub- lished catalogue dense with riveting images. Balma, a West Coast artist resid- ing in Roberts Creek on BC’s Sunshine Coast, paints spiritual torment and nar- rative visions in highly idiosyncratic, surrealistic work. The large oils on canvas have a strong, totemic sensibility. The catalogue showcases her fantastic and often grotesque imagery coupled with short essays. Softcover, 120 pages. $35 CDN. Available from Bolen Books and the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, as well as Blackberry Books and Oscar's Books in Vancouver BC or directly from Donna Balma, email: [email protected]

ROY ARDEN: AGAINST THE DAY is a large hardcover book published for a major survey exhibition at the Vancouver Art Gallery of art by the internationally- acclaimed Canadian photographer and video artist. Essays by numerous writers and artists are interesting for their historical insight. The catalogue and exhibition include samples of Arden’s work, from more personal portraits and photographs of urban details during the early 1980s, through work incorporating archival pho- tographs from the 1990s, and his more formal and stylized photo groupings of 2007, to recent video projects using imagery from the Internet.

Her working process of spackling paint, sanding it, applying layers of acrylic wash and then rubbing away marks in the surface, imitates natural processes of birth, decay, death and metamorphosis, and conjures images of rock surfaces and sandy surfaces. Emerging shapes, particularly rec- tangular planes, appear partially submerged both visually and conceptually in work aptly described as having "an etching-like intimacy." Ducote once alluded to the rectangles in her work as symbols for "portals to the unknown". In later guises, the rectangular form appeared figura- tive. Recent work alludes to notions of shielding and becoming inviolable, or to gates and other barricades. The rectangle motif appears rhythmi- Camrose Ducote, #07-37 (2007), medium [Atelier Gallery, cally in overlapping planes or rows, slashed here Vancouver BC, Mar 6-30] and there with shapes resembling fasteners and hinges. Her restless shattered planes are reminis- cent of a Futurist sensibility, particularly with their monochromatic colours punctuated at intervals with red, blue and black shapes. Ducote earned a BA at the University of Northern Colorado and she has exhibited extensively in Vancouver since 1983. She also exhibits with the Wallace gallery in Calgary, Alberta. Ducote is cur- rently a Studio Technician in Sculpture/Synthetics at the Emily Carr Institute as well as a full-time painter.

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 65 www.artspeak.ca Isabelle Pauwels:Triple Bill preview ARTSPEAK, VANCOUVER BC – throughMar 1 Isabelle Pauwels' work is described as centering around language and social relations in conjunction with art, architecture and media. Triple Bill, a new three-part video work, is part documentary and part fiction. At some personal risk, it is based on visits made by the artist to pornography theatres, although pornographic subjects are never actually pictured. Pauwels believes pornography presents a huge reservoir to examine human behaviour, both in how the films and roles are scripted, and in the response they elicit from viewers. Using rapidly scrolling text screens, as well as recorded and edited conversation, she narrates her experience of the theatre's architec- Isabelle Pauwels, Triple Bill (2007), video still [Artspeak, Vancouver BC, through Mar 1] ture, social behaviours and films. The work, which looks in part at what audiences want and how they consume, draws a correlation between the the- atre and the gallery as sanctioned spaces for viewing and pleasure.

Her work has been shown in solo exhibitions at Con- February 21, 7:30pm, temporary Art Gallery, Vancouver; Mercer Union, Toronto; Or Gallery, Vancou- Emily Carr Institute ver; and at Catriona Jeffries Gallery, Vancouver.

Curated by Jessie Caryl, the two-person exhibition presents works by gallery artist Kelly Wood and Hamburg-based artist Monika Grzymala. In her work, Wood deals with the erosion of cate- gories, boundaries and structures. At the same time, she presents images of iteration and reverberation. This dual nature of her photographic work – art, not art; or in this case, sound, not sound – is what makes it most intellec- tually provocative. A new series of ten large, almost monochromatic photographs make visible the binary code formats of digital recordings of ten songs per- formed between 1955 and 1990. Visible in each photo- Kelly Wood and Monika Grzymala, installation view graph are the wave forms and fluctuations produced by [Catriona Jeffries Gallery, Vancouver BC, through Feb 16] sound. Wood used recordings of innovative Canadian music ranging from Hugh Le Caine's "dripsody" – composed in 1955 from a sound sample of a drip of water falling in a pail – to recordings by Intersystems, the Nihilist Spasm Band, John Oswald and, of course, the UJ3RK5. An essay by Eric Bell entitled Sound and Material Signs accompanies the exhibi- tion along with summarized notes about each composer, band or musician. Monika Grzymala has created an installation entitled Distortion that is comprised of approximate- ly seven kilometres of adhesive tape. During her two-week installation process, Grzymala built up lengths and lengths of tape into radiating clusters and striated aggregations of lines that connect to each other and to the floor and walls of the gallery. The look of Grzymala's installation is related to visual interference and pixellation, those random errors and digital distortions which appear acciden- tally in electronic imagery.

Each artist depicts ele- ments of the cultural milieu of this period in his work. Images of dancers, in their many forms and social roles, were strong symbols of modernism in turn-of-the-century France. Dégas, who is known for his naturalistic renderings of ballet dancers from the Paris Opera, often observed the women backstage or during rehearsals. Dégas created many expressive tonal sketches of the graceful forms. The drawings served as the framework for his larger formal pieces like the The Ballet Class or for such sculptural works as The Little Dancer, Aged Fourteen which was cast in bronze after his death. Forain, who was more of a caricaturist and newspaper illustrator, focused on social dilemmas of female dancers of the time, who were often put into compromising situations by the advances of wealthy male patrons or abonnés. Using a pictorial approach, Forain offers a critical narrative and social satire through gestures, facial expressions and glances. Toulouse-Lautrec favoured the nighttime entertainment PHOTO: KATHERINE WETZEL, ©VIRGINIA MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS of dance halls and cabarets rather than the ballet.

Skewing boundaries between high art and Arts, Richmond, the State Operating Fund and advertisement, Toulouse-Lautrec became famous in Paris the Art Lovers’ Society through a commissioned poster Moulin Rouge-La Goulue. His simple graphic designs captured the racier aspects of Parisian society and the independent lifestyle choices of dancers and performers. Through his portrayals of their fashionable dress, sexual innu- endos and expressive poses, Toulouse-Lautrec conveyed both the commodification of these women as well as their unique position outside the world of the bourgeoisie.

Tagliapietra came to Seattle in 1979 to teach at the Pilchuck Glass School hav- ing an unprecedented effect on American glass artists and the what is known as the Studio Glass Movement. Two exhibitions highlight his work, both past and present. Lino Tagliapietra, Picadilly (2007), blown glass PHOTO: RUSSELL JOHNSON In Seattle, Traver Gallery is presenting Tagliapietra’s lat- [William Traver Gallery, Seattle WA, Feb 8-Mar 2] est body of work which is a quieting departure from his typical palette of vivid saturated hues. Il Bianco e Il Nero is an elegant series done exclusively in white, black and clear glass. The monochro- matic simplification emphasizes Tagliapietra’s controlled labyrinth of sophisticated cane work, revealing delicate textures that appear to be woven within graceful forms. Exposing the organic qualities of glass Tagliapietra distills the medium into not only an immaculate purity of balanced form, but into a sensitive work of art that points to the sublime connection between the liquidy medium and it’s essence in nature. Radiant vessels evoke patterns of rippling water, the sheen of crystalline frost and the tranquility of moonlight. In Tacoma, The Museum of Glass hosts the first retrospective of Tagliapietra’s work, spanning over 40 years of his career. Pieces range from his well known contemporary vessels, to objects and designs created for the industry, and works from personal and private collections that have never before been exhibited. The impressive exhibition includes over 150 pieces and will be travelling nationally until 2010. In conjunction with this exhibition, Tagliapietra will be at the Museum’s hot shop for a number of days in February and there are a series of events planned around this show and an extensive catalogue is available.
