ART GALLERY OF ALBERTA, EDMONTON AB – Jun 23-Oct 14, 2012 The Automatiste Revolution: Montreal
1941-1960 includes 60 works of art as well as photos, books and other artifacts documenting the infamous avant-garde movement. Curated by Roald Nasgaard, the show was described in Canadian Art as
“a signature exhibition of the Automatiste movement that set Quebec on the road to its Quiet Revolution”. Organized and circulated by the Varley Art Gallery, Ontario in 2009, the exhibit subsequently
travelled to the Albright-Knox, New York, where it was shown alongside paintings by De Kooning,
Pollock and Rothko.
Under the leadership of Paul-Émile
Borduas, the Automatistes challenged the
conservative Quebec status quo through
their spontaneous painting techniques
during the 1940s and ‘50s. They are
credited with bringing modernist painting
to Canada. Their “stream of consciousness”
work – including dance, music, poetry and
plays – was abstract, passionate and lyrical.
Prominent Quebec artists included Marcel
Barbeau, Roger Fauteux, Claude Gauvreau,
Pierre Gauvreau and Jean-Paul Riopelle.
The Automastistes in Quebec were
inspired by the art of their American Pierre Gauvreau, Colloque Exhubérant (1944), mixed media on canvas
counterparts, who experimented with the [Art Gallery of Alberta, Edmonton AB, Jun 23-Oct 14]
creation of abstract work based on impulses
from the subconscious. In 1948 the Quebec Automatistes published Refus global (Total Refusal), a
controversial anti-religious and anti-establishment manifesto. It became one of the pillars of the Quiet
Revolution, a period of intense artistic and cultural change in Quebec. The group itself disbanded after
the death of Borduas in 1960 but many members went on to international acclaim. Mia Johnson

ALEX JANVIER The Art Gallery of Alberta, Edmonton, May 18-Aug
19 This retrospective celebrates one of Canada’s most distinguished senior artists. Over 90 paintings and drawings illuminate
the ways in which Janvier has drawn on his Dene Suline and Saulteaux background and his study of art history, in evolving his figurative and abstract motifs and his “signature, curvilinear style”.
In recent years Janvier has incorporated increasingly political
messages into his paintings, as well as allusions to the Aboriginal
Group of Seven.
Alex Janvier
JAMES LUMSDEN Paul Kuhn Gallery, Calgary, May 26-Jun 30 New
abstractions by Scottish painter James Lumsden take their theme
and titles – such as Contrapuntal and Fugue – from the rhythms and
movements of music. Evolving from his earlier series, Liquid
Light, they create atmosphere and luminosity by building up what
the artist calls “chromatic strata” – multiple translucent glazes of
colour, thinned with gloss medium and manipulated to create
engaging textures and a sense of depth and dynamism.
CHARLIE RUSSELL AND THE FIRST CALGARY STAMPEDE Glenbow
Museum, Calgary, Jun 2-Jul 29 How better to celebrate the 100th
anniversary of the Calgary Stampede than with the art of that
most iconic of cowboy artists? The Montana-based Russell (18641926) had exhibited 20 paintings, to enormous acclaim, at the
first Stampede in 1912. Now 17 of those original works have been
gathered to commemorate the event. Look for Russell’s characteristically vigourous depictions of cowboy and aboriginal life and
culture, played out against magnificent western landscapes.
MARCUS COATES: STORIES FROM THE LOWER WORLD Southern
Alberta Art Gallery, Lethbridge, Jun 22-Sep 9 The three films on
view document extraordinary performances by this Londonbased artist as he inserts himself into socially and politically
charged locales and situations. While addressing, for instance,
the eviction of the elderly from a condemned housing estate in
Liverpool, Coates assumes the role of a shaman, bedecked in the
head and hide of a stag or the feathers of a bird. He plays the
ridiculous off the heart-felt, and ancient tribal ritual against contemporary contexts of conflict and displacement.
LANDWASH: CONTEMPORARY NEWFOUNDLAND ART Esplanade
Art Gallery, Medicine Hat, Jun 23-Aug 11 The title of this show,
“landwash”, means “the seashore between high and low tide
marks” or “washed by the sea” – and this place and condition
are well addressed by artists as diverse as David Blackwood, Will Gill, Christine Koch and The Shed Collective who
created The Dark Night of the Ugly Stick, a mixed-media installation that replicates Newfoundland’s vernacular architecture, the
shed. This humble rural structure serves as a metaphor for a
passing way of life, and as a theatre for a short film lamenting the
losses associated with this passing.

Mario Trejo: Catharsism
HERRINGER KISS GALLERY, CALGARY AB – Jul 21-Sep 8, 2012 Fascinated by mathematics, time and
numbers, Mario Trejo seeks to gain awareness and comprehension of the cosmos and infinity through
his massive drawings. His elegant black-and-white compositions radiate a sense of controlled chaos,
whether they are wall-sized panels or the size of a sheet of paper.
Trejo applies rapid, tight rotations of a micron pen to produce the miniscule markings. Like electrical pulses or atomic particles, the
tiny white pen marks emerge from
the depth, swarm and coalesce into
loosely defined masses, while
simultaneously managing to appear
in a state of flux. From the smallest
to the largest, the images project a
sense of comets, star fields, and the
solar system. They have been
described as “dense clouds of spidery filaments”, “satellite photos”,
and “astronomic wonders”. The
sheer scale, the immensity of the
larger artworks is highly engaging
and often humbling.

Mario Trejo is based in Saint

Louis, Missouri where he is the
Director of Exhibitions of the Museum of Pocket Art. Trejo received his BFA from the School of the

illuminate his teachings”, the show also traces the spreading influence of Buddhism from its origins in the Indian subcontinent in
the 6th-century BC through central, east and southeast Asia. The
exquisite works on view include porcelain vessels, a silk brocaded

YO-IN 余韻 REVERBERATION Nikkei National Museum, Burnaby,
May 19-Aug 25 Through the wide-ranging work of eight artists,
YO-IN marks the 70th anniversary of the wartime internment of
Japanese Canadians. Senior artists, who lived through the internment, and a younger generation who have witnessed its legacy,
employ a variety of media, including etchings, videos, photographs and multimedia installations, to express themes of memory,
place and identity. Collectively, their work examines the still
“reverberating” impact of one of Canada’s most infamous acts of
displacement and disenfranchisement.

Design Gallery in West Vancouver, exhibiting and selling cuttingedge contemporary art and design in one of the first such venues in
Canada. In 1958, the NDG moved to downtown Vancouver and
continued to champion modernism and the avant-garde.

Milutin Gubash: Remote Viewing: True Stories
COLLECTION OF THE ARTIST
SOUTHERN ALBERTA ART GALLERY, LETHBRIDGE AB – JUN 22-SEP 9, 2012 Montreal artist Milutin
Gubash was born in Serbia. His practice, which encompasses
photography, video and performance, features his family and
friends. A ten-year survey of work is the subject of a
collaborative exhibition project undertaken by the Southern
Alberta Art Gallery in conjunction with Rodman Hall Art
Centre, Carleton University Art Gallery, Kitchener-Waterloo
Art Gallery and Musée d’art de Joliette. A major publication is
planned for release in late 2012.
Gubash uses mass media as a vehicle to document and
explore his personal history and identity. Incorporating ‘fake’
paintings, website projects, newspaper headlines and comic
strips, Remote Viewing: True Stories is a comprehensive look at
his work. His signature piece, Born Rich, Getting Poorer,
presents six episodes of a DIY sitcom showing Gubash and his
family overcoming adversity and political strife, successfully
“escaping” the former Communist Yugoslavia, and starting a
new life with new issues in Canada.
Since earning his MFA at Concordia University in 2000,
MIlutin Gubash, Black and White Cat from the Gubash has exhibited extensively in Canada, the United States
series "Who Will Will Our Will? (2011). black and Europe. He has received grants from Canada Council and

EMILY HOPE: THE WILD MAN APPRECIATION SOCIETY Kamloops
Art Gallery, Kamloops, Jun 30-Aug 25 Emily Hope, a graduating
student from Thompson Rivers University, has created a
tongue-in-cheek “society” and “museum” devoted to the idea of
the wild man. An archetypal image of the civilized individual’s
“feral double”, present through many cultures and ages around
the world, the wild man takes shape in the Pacific Northwest as
the Sasquatch. Hope plays on lore and legend with a series of
drawings, stories and “artifacts” – everything from giant mittens
to beer jugs and playing cards.
2011 PANGNIRTUNG TAPESTRY COLLECTION Inuit Gallery, Vancouver, Jul/Aug The remote Nunavut community of Pangnirtung is

by local artists, are designed and produced in annual collections of
limited editions. They may also be commissioned as one-of-a-kind
works for patrons. The studio’s 2011 collection of beautiful woven
tapestries, including a collaboration with famed Cape Dorset artist
Kenojuak Ashevak, is on view through the summer.

Guy Laramée: Mountains
FOSTER/WHITE GALLERY, SEATTLE WA – Jul 5-28, 2012 Québec-based Guy Laramée is a multidisciplinary artist whose work over the last 30 years includes stage writing and directing, composing,
singing, painting, literature, video and sculpture.
The erosion and degradation of human culture is a
theme that runs throughout his art. The notion that
books could become obsolete in this digital age is
largely poignant in Laramée’s choice to use them as
a sculptural medium.
Non-fiction books and information-based texts
are turned into sculptural landscapes that are realized with great detail and amazing sensitivity. Tiny
mountainous forms tower from within an old reference volume and craggy eroded valleys recede into
the closed pages of stacked encyclopedias. Laramée
is carving and sandblasting these publications to
reveal a new life of majestic hillsides, romantic
ridges, and other powerfully serene landscapes. The
show includes work from three different series of
book-sculpture projects created over the last ten
years, with forms inspired by Laramée’s affinity for
mountains and landscapes as a source of life and
possibility.
It is incredible that such believable detail can be
achieved by sculpting paper – the effect is like Guy Laramée, Brown’s Bible (2012), paper [Foster/White
looking into another world, where culture’s grip Gallery, Seattle WA, Jul 5-28]
has loosened, information has been sculpturally
subtracted, and there is room within the timeless landscape for new discovery. The idea that knowledge is gained by reduction rather than accumulation has a great deal of conviction in these works.
Within Laramée’s pages an abundance of information is disguised allowing a universal beauty to
unfold. Allyn Cantor

Professional curators of contemporary art were once as scarce
as hen’s teeth
COURTESY OF BOERS-LI GALLERY, BEIJING / PHOTO: OWEN SOPOTIUK
The academic approach to the world of curating has certainly been transformed since earning my
MA in Fine Arts from the University of Toronto in 1963. In those days, Bachelor’s and Master’s
degrees in Art History were granted by very few Canadian Institutions. The University of Toronto’s Department of Art and Archaeology offered a program that began with a study of ancient
Egypt and by the third year, 20th-century art movements had been barely touched upon.
Nonetheless, the handful of graduates were guaranteed employment.
Upon graduation, my first position was as a slide librarian with the University of British
Columbia’s Fine Arts Department which was followed in 1965 by my second job as Assistant
Curator at the Vancouver Art Gallery
where mounting art exhibitions for children was part of the job description. By
1970 I was teaching a survey of art history
at Capilano College and was passionately
involved with the visual media aspect of
The Capilano Review publication. This latter avocation led to employment as curator
at Surrey Art Gallery from where I
removed myself in 1989 upon the realization that I lacked appropriate training for a
position involving much more than the
visual presentation of artwork.
Although curatorial training was emergZhang Peili, A Gust of Wind (2008), still from video installation on view at ing as an area of speciality, it was not until
Morris and Helen Belkin Gallery, Vancouver BC, to Aug 19 [Yellow Signal:
1992 that London’s Royal Collage of Art
New Media in China, a multi-venue survey of cutting-edge Chinese media
established Britain’s first (and Europe’s secart conceived by curator Shengtian Zheng]
ond) curatorial program at the MA level. In
the same decade, such degrees were also
granted on the West Coast at the California College of the Arts in San Francisco.
It seems that Canada has been at the forefront of on-the-job and/or academic education for
curators in the field of contemporary art. Non-profit, artist-run-centres (which originated in Quebec) were first established in Vancouver in 1973 with the founding of the Western Front. These
centres gave artists opportunities to gain real experience in every aspect of selecting and presenting curated, as opposed to juried, exhibitions.
Today, most wanna-be curators still study art history in universities, art schools and even online,
but courses in this field are no longer “traditional”. Instead, explorations of art context, art theory
and art language dominate the smorgasbords of tasty liberal arts curricula as with the BA and MA
programs at Seattle’s University of Washington. In combining academic and practical coursework,
degrees are conferred by that university but teaching takes place at Seattle’s College of Art.
Vancouver has an international reputation as being home to several highly-accomplished and
visionary curators. I think back to the late Ted Lindberg, who established a short-lived curatorial
program at Emily Carr College of Art and Design in 1986 after becoming director of the Charles
H. Scott Gallery. Notable curators today, like Cate Rimmer (currently curator at the Charles H.
Scott Gallery) and Daina Augaitis (who is Associate Director and Chief Curator of the Vancouver
Art Gallery), are graduates of Lindberg’s program. Scott Watson, Curator/Director of UBC’s
Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery, is a brilliant example of a contemporary curator who has
mounted many ground-breaking exhibitions and who also helped shape UBC’s Critical Curatorial
Studies Program. If only such challenging programs in contemporary curatorship had been available all those years ago!

Peter Krausz: Landscapes
GALLERY JONES, VANCOUVER BC – Jun 7-30, 2012 The work of Montreal artist Peter Krausz has
included paintings, drawings, installations and photography. Like David Bierk, he has explored the
use of painted frames, metal surfaces and lettered text. He is best known for epic landscapes of terraced fields and low rolling hills, punctuated and delineated by groves and orchards – gorgeous vistas
that look far into the distance. With their saturated natural hues, Krausz’s fictional panoramas are
reminiscent of southern Europe.
The Mediterranean has been prominent in the artist’s work for more than twenty years. It acts as a
geographic and political site for exploring the relationship of man to nature, to underscore the lack of
political borders in nature, and to
portray historically-charged locations, often where mass violence
has been perpetrated. Like David
Bierk, Krausz uses “the riches of
human memory” to deliver imaginary landscapes that appear mysterious yet familiar.
Peter Krausz was born in
Romania in 1946 and studied
mural painting between 1964Peter Krausz, Querce di Cote No. 3 (2010), oil on canvas [Gallery Jones, Vancouver 1969 at the Fine Arts Institute in
Bucharest. He made Montreal
BC, Jun 7-30]
his home in 1970. From 19801991, Krausz was curator of the Saidye Bronfman Centre for the Arts in Montreal, and in 1991
began teaching Fine Arts at the Université de Montréal. He has exhibited extensively in Montreal, Toronto, New York, Los Angeles and Paris Mia Johnson

Conservator’s Corner
BY NADINE POWER
Fine Art Conservator, www.conservationoffineart.com
Theatres of the World: the conservation of two murals in the Simon
Fraser University Theatre – Part 2
The purpose of conservation work on the Buell Mullen murals
in the SFU Theatre lobby was to remove dirt and corrosion
products, repair loss and damage to paint layers, and to restore
the collage elements to their original settings. The materials
and techniques used by the artist as well as major condition
issues were described in Part 1 in the previous issue of Preview.
The two stainless steel murals were covered in a thick layer
of dust and grime and an initial vacuum of the works with a soft
brush removed only the surface dust. Aqueous cleaning was
necessary to remove decades of food, drink, cigarette smoke
and other accretions for which a three-part method of treatment was developed.
During the first step of cleaning, conservators used a mild
conservation-grade detergent to dissolve food particles and
remove tobacco residue. Next, a 1% diammonium citrate
solution was used where areas of red and orange corrosion,
caused by water leaking from the ceiling, required a more
powerful cleaning method. The two solutions were each
Detail before and after cleaning: top shows clean
section, below, dirt and fingerprints remain
applied with a soft cloth in a circular motion and were then
rinsed with water.
The final step was to use a gel to remove stubborn areas of corrosion and uneven patina. The gel, a low
pH solution of hydro-oxycarboxilic acid, was applied with a soft brush and allowed to work overnight
under a plastic wrap. A final rinse with warm
water and a squeegee left the stainless steel
surface sparkling and streak free.
Next, damaged paint was repaired using
several layers of a conservation-grade resin
called B-72. Several thick layers were applied
without pigment to mimic the thick texture of
the epoxy resin used by the artist. A final layer
of B-72 mixed with Gamblin Conservation
Colours was used to match the in-painted
areas with the original paint colour.
Finally, the missing collage elements
were replaced with new materials sourced at
Section of east mural after conservation cleaning
local gem and lapidary suppliers. Before they
were applied, areas of old epoxy that had yellowed and become unsightly were removed using a scalpel blade and a solution of ethanol. The new collage elements were then applied using a grade of epoxy resin less likely to become discoloured and to lose
adhesiveness.
The results of the conservation work were quite remarkable; both murals looked clean, intact and considering their age, as close as possible to their original condition. Some areas with mild scratching and abrasion marks, where chairs had been placed against the murals, were, unfortunately, the only type of damage
for which there was no easy treatment. Once the theatre renovations have been completed, physical barriers will help prevent further damage and keep the newly-restored murals clean for many years to come.

CONTEMPORARY ART GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Apr 27-Jul 1, 2012 In the context of “women’s art”,
the work of Matthew Monahan would undoubtedly have to be considered “guy art”. Using drywall,
large pieces of glass, bricks, sheets of metal, industrial ratchet straps, riveted bolts, and cast bronze, the
Los Angeles-based artist produces massive, hulking figurative sculptures that defy most descriptions.
“Infused” with his personal mythology
and “emerging from the rubble of his own
creation”, they are intended to evoke artifacts
from another century, or perhaps a postapocalyptic vision of art assembled from a
nuclear disaster zone. Many of the figures
have a Biblical or medieval look. Monahan
frequently integrates his forms with museum-style presentations that he fashions from
building materials like plasterboard and
glass. The current exhibit presents a selection of work from the past eight years,
including a number of large sculptures made
from folded paper.
Described as “resolutely contemporary
and yet timeless”, the massive conglomerations have been shown in prestigious solo Matthew Monahan, Installation view (2012), [Contemporary Art Gallery,
exhibitions at the Contemporary Arts Center, Vancouver BC, Apr 27-Jul 1]
Cincinnati (2011); Institute of Contemporary

Ellsworth Kelly: Selected Prints
Ellsworth Kelly is known for his minimalist abstractions and
shaped canvases that stress the subtle relationship between colour
and form. These two exhibitions focus on Kelly’s print work, which
shares the same aesthetic principles. Kelly’s lasting dedication to a
singular vision has endured the many waves of modern and contemporary art movements. The celebrated American artist was
born in upstate New York in 1923, and spent his formative years in
Paris during the late 1940s and early 1950s absorbing French
abstraction in works by such artists as Jean Arp, Joan Miró and
Alberto Giacometti, an experience which proved to be seminal to
the development of his mature style.
His fascination for pure bold chromatic choices alludes to a
sense of space as colours appear to recede into the background.
While seemingly stark at first, Kelly’s reductive approach proves
to be warm and friendly – he often uses soft curvilinear edges Ellsworth Kelly, Green with Red (Vert avec
within a geometric framework, where the interplay of forms on a Rouge) (1964-65), lithograph on Rives BFK
plane are like silhouettes that reference familiar elements of paper [Portland Art Museum, Portland OR,
Jun 16-Sep 16/Elizabeth Leach Gallery,
architecture, nature and culture.
Portland OR, Jun 7-Jul 28]
It is impressive that this important 20th-century artist has
maintained a clear vision in his approach to abstraction. Kelly’s tightly balanced works remind one of
nostalgic pop-culture on the surface, yet the longevity of Kelly’s practice leads to the realization that
these pieces weigh heavily on formal considerations and are more concerned with quiet and subtle
perceptions. Allyn Cantor

Jon Langford: Old Devils
THE NEW GALLERY, CALGARY AB – Jun 15-Jul 28, 2012 Jon Langford is a Welsh-born musician and
artist living in Chicago. As a founding member of legendary British punk rock band the Mekons, he
continues to play and record with his original band as well as The Pine Valley Cosmonauts and the
Waco Brothers, among others. The Mekons are often credited with single-handedly creating postmodern country and western music, which has been described as a blend of Gram Parsons’s innovation, leftist punk political ideals, and minimalist musical arrangements.
A prolific and respected visual artist, Langford creates striking decorative portraits of
country musicians and cowboys, “multi-layered paintings of famous and forgotten figures
from the dawn of country music”. His illustrations of Johnny Cash, Gram Parsons, Elvis
Presley, Hank Williams and other music legends, as well as scratched up portraits of
cowhands and other western heroes, can be
seen in the legendary Yard Dog Gallery in
Austin, Texas, home to Texas folk art, outsider
art and funky pop art.
Langford’s artwork is easily recognizable
on album covers he has done for supplemen- Jon Langford, Tonight The West is Sleeping (2009), acrylic paint/mixed
tary musical projects. The imagery, much of media on plywood [The New Gallery, Calgary AB, Jun 15-Jul 28]
it taken from old country music publicity
photos and sheet music, is enveloped in “a haze of ironic nostalgia”, with plenty of scratches, faded edges
and scraped surfaces. He writes, “Basically, I create a very unstable surface with acrylics and pastel on top
of each other and work on top of that with Sharpies, felt pens, white out, gunk, snot and whatever comes
to hand”. His paintings are further characterized by the addition of folksy words and sayings. Mia Johnson

Stuhlmann, Jocelyne Tremblay,

Holger Kalberg
COURTESY OF HOLGER KALBERG AND MONTE CLARK GALLERY VANCOUVER / TORONTO
MONTE CLARK GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Jun 14-Jul 14, 2012 Since graduating from Emily
Carr in 2001, abstract painter Holger Kalberg has taken numerous approaches to modernist notions
of representation, including the depiction of space on a flat canvas and investigating the point at
which designed shapes become illusions of form.
In the current series, he explores the use of
grounding to give his compositions weight and to
provide an increased sense of three-dimensionality.
The paintings and sculptures in this exhibit
evoke what appears to be an “environment of separate objects”. They are intended to set up a dialogue that questions notions of originality, and to
look at the place and process of studio production.
Both the painted objects and the sculptures play
with negative and positive space in the forms themselves, and address the relationship between the
work and the outside world. In an added layer of
conceptual complexity, the current series combines
new and transformed versions of earlier work by
the artist.
Holger Kalberg won a BC Arts Council Production Grant in 2004 and has three times been
Holger Kalberg, Untitled (2012), oil on canvas [Monte Clark
short-listed for a Royal Bank Canadian Painting
Gallery, Vancouver BC, Jun 14-Jul 14]
Award. In 2007, he earned a Master’s degree in
Fine Arts from Chelsea School of Art. He is represented by Monte Clark Gallery in Vancouver and
Toronto, and has had solo exhibitions at the Agnes Etherington Art Centre and Galerie Hellebrand
in Duisburg, Germany. Mia Johnson

Practical Art History or
Confessions of a Fine Art Appraiser
BY JIM FINLAY
FINLAY FINE ART
www.FinlayFineArt.com
Chapter 32. The Case of the Wisham Fisherman
My client had told me that one evening while watching the Antiques Roadshow on television, he
and his wife were surprised and excited to see a framed photograph which looked almost identical to the one they had inherited and which they were about to donate to the local thrift store.
On hearing the estimated value, my client decided not to
donate but to engage the services of a professional art
appraiser.
Edward Sheriff Curtis (1868-1952) photographed and
documented the traditional way of life of the North
American Indian and took some 40,000 photographs of over
80 tribes; images which he later published in a limited edition
20-volume set from 1917 to 1930.
Curtis visited the Northwest Coast of BC where he developed a somewhat dubious reputation of embellishing the
truth by artificially staging some of his photographs of native
subjects to make them appear more “real”. According to text
by Gloria Jean Frank, he reportedly is said to have had all of
the male (native) actors in his 1914 film, In the Land of the
Headhunters, shave off their moustaches for fear that audiences would not see them as authentic “Indians”. Word has it
Edward S. Curtis, The Fisherman, Wisham
that he became so frustrated with his Kwakwaka’wakw actors
(c. 1904-1909), goldtone on glass
for not performing one scene properly that he actually
dressed up in costume and performed the scene himself.
This photograph, entitled The Fisherman, Wisham, dates from about 1904-1909 and depicts a
salmon fisherman who most probably lived along the banks of the Columbia River near The
Dalles, Oregon.
The image is a goldtone or orotone (also named by Curtis as a Curt-tone) photograph and is
signed “E. Curtis” in the lower right of the image with a copyright symbol in the image at the
lower left. The image measures approximately 8 ¥ 10 inches and was in the original batwing-cornered frame with the overall size including frame of 13.5 ¥ 11.5 inches.
The image was reproduced in Volume VII of The North American Indian by Edward Curtis, and
in Visions of a Vanishing Race by Curtis’s daughter, Florence Curtis Graybill, and Victor Boesen.
Curtis is known to have produced this image in several sizes; the most popular being 11 ¥ 14.
The printing process involved coating the back of a glass plate with a light-sensitive silver gelatin
emulsion which then was exposed to a glass plate negative of the same image. The resultant positive image was fixed on the rear of the glass plate with a coating of banana oil impregnated with
bronzing powder, thus giving it its gold colour. Other types of prints were made from the same
negative such as gelatin silver prints on paper, however the most rare, due in part to their fragility,
were the photographic prints on glass, of which this is a very good example.
This photograph is, therefore, one of many prints of the same image, printed in different sizes
and on different materials. The frame would have been sold with the print directly from the factory. It is the smallest goldtone print of this series; others were sized 11 ¥ 14, 11 ¥ 17, and 18 ¥ 22.
Needless to say my client was surprised to learn of the photograph’s significant appraised value and does not plan to donate it to a thrift store.

HENRY ART GALLERY, SEATTLE WA – Mar 31-Sep 16, 2012 The glossodelic attractors exhibition is a broad
survey of Gary Hill’s artwork from the last three decades. The internationally recognized Seattle sound
and video artist creates immersive installations that skew perception through multi-sensory experiences.
Hill, a pioneer of video art since 1973, is
influenced by conceptual art of the era.
His themes make connections between
language and the body, image and identity.
The pieces are experiential and engaging,
offering simultaneous visual and auditory
elements that work to re-orientate the
mind in a sometimes-psychedelic manner.
The show is grounded by two major
installations, Withershins from 1995 and the
2011 The Psychedelic Gedankenexperiment.
Many other pieces will be shown on a
rotating basis. Withershins is a floor maze
that invites visitors to walk inside and trigger voices that speak small phrases like fragments of consciousness. The male and
female voices have video counterparts on Gary Hill, Withershins (1995), mixed media, 1996 installation view at Institute of

Randy Hayes: Unfamiliar Territory
HALLIE FORD MUSEUM OF ART, SALEM OR – Jun 2-Aug 26, 2012 Unfamiliar Territory, a major exhibit
by Seattle artist Randy Hayes, includes pieces from the last fifteen years of his career. Hayes is known for
hybrid combinations of painting and photography. His subjects are derived mostly from
his travels to China, India, Italy, Mexico, and
more recently, Japan.
From a myriad of images, Hayes constructs unique photographic assemblages that
serve as grounds for over-painting. The gridlike arrangements of snapshots are reminiscent of frames from a film and provide a narrative backdrop for the main painted subject.
The effect of oil painting with translucent
glazes and washes on top of the detail-filled
backgrounds keeps the eye moving throughout the composition, absorbing the intricate
milieu of Hayes’s world.
Randy Hayes, Kyoto Tourists (2009), oil on photographs mounted to canvas
The Mississippi native is particularly
[Hallie Ford Museum of Art, Salem OR, Jun 2-Aug 26]
interested in the changing face of his home
state and of the rural American South. Ethereal images of this area, on the cusp of documentary and poetry, are some of the most provocative of Hayes’s artworks. The mix of micro- and macro-perspectives presents a feeling of direct experience with strong impressions of real time, memory and place. The artist’s
southern upbringing undoubtedly lends to the deeper sensitivity in these particular pieces. Allyn Cantor

William Kurelek: The Messenger
ger is the third stop of a cross-Canada tour that has included the Art Gallery of Hamilton and the Winnipeg Art Gallery. Co-curated by Mary Jo Hughes, Tobi Bruce and Andrew Kear, The Messenger brings
together over 80 key paintings and drawings from major collections in Canada, the United States and
the United Kingdom.
William Kurelek (1927-1977) produced more than 2,000 paintings in a
prolific outpouring that documented
bucolic scenes of immigrants working
the land, children playing, and community country events. He has been
called Canada’s Norman Rockwell,
Canada’s Cornelius Krieghoff, a Prairie
Hieronymus Bosch and a naive, flatland
Bruegel. Kurelek devoted entire series
of paintings to Ukrainian, Jewish, Polish, Irish, French Canadian and Inuit
peoples. Much of his work depicts nostalgic scenes of a simpler past.
Kurelek also had a dark side. William Kurelek, Lumberjack’s Breakfast (1973), egg tempera on board [Art

cumbed to mental illness and religious
fanaticism before emerging as an artist in the service of God. During the last 20 years of his life, his
mission became the communication of the Christian religion through illustrative and narrative works.
The exhibition catalogue, a glossy hardcover book, describes Kurelek as one of Canada’s most popular yet most enigmatic 20th-century artists. In conjunction with the touring exhibit, a comprehensive
website at www.kurelek.ca was developed and will be available for five years. This major undertaking
provides a wealth of information on Kurelek’s life and work. Mia Johnson

Ray Turner: Population
www.whatcommuseum.org
WHATCOM MUSEUM, BELLINGHAM WA – Jun 16-Sep 9, 2012 Ray Turner’s ongoing travelling project uses the residents of different cities as the subjects for portrait paintings. Bellingham is the fourth
stop on portrait painter Ray Turner’s multi-city
travelling exhibition which was most recently
shown in Akron, Ohio.
As part of his interest in creating an ongoing
series of “community” portraits, Turner visited
Bellingham last year to document the townspeople who would manifest into works of art for
this venture. Transforming his digital shots into
paintings on glass that are 12-inches square,
Turner’s 50 new portraits will be exhibited with
pieces referencing other cities. This ambitious
undertaking reflects a sense of commonality
among people while shedding light on the
unique diversity present within each individual.
As an evolving whole, the collection captures a
cross-section of different locales as seen through
the painted images of their residents.
For Population, Turner is not rendering
superficial beauty; he depicts the essence of
each person, rather than their exact likeness.
Ray Turner, Population portrait (2011-12), oil on glass [Whatcom
His generously-painted surfaces block soft hues
Museum, Bellingham WA, Jun 16-Sep 9]
into light and shadows with each subject set
against a solid ground. Turner’s infused emotion is mostly found in the thick expressive handling of oil
paint as well as in his colour choices in the light and dark areas of skin and hair. The uniform approach
to each piece allows for more formal considerations in the painting process while paying quiet homage
to the collective versus individual identity. Allyn Cantor
gallery and studio is dedicated to the
glass artwork of Jean-Pierre Canlis.
The gallery is currently exhibiting Canlis’s popular Ocean Studies series,
complemented by his large-scale
glass bamboo installations.

DOROTHEE DEISS: AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED Blue Sky Gallery, Portland, Jun 7-Jul 1 German photographer Dorothee Deiss documents
the site where the Berlin wall once stood in her series As If Nothing
Happened. The 160-km strip of land is now mainly a bike path, but
the clusters of residences and communities alongside have long existed. With little trace of where the wall once was, Deiss captures the
people and environment in the immediate vicinity of the former border zone where common cultures were divided and separated into
socialist and capitalist worlds.
STEPHAN SOIHL: KINETIC EXPLORATIONS Blackfish Gallery, Portland,
Jun 5-30 Stephan Soihl’s elegant mechanical sculptures are made primarily of translucent plexiglass forms filled with coloured oils and
complementary brass hardware; small motors and timers enable
these kinetic pieces to rotate thereby gently moving the contained
liquid. As a sculptor, Soihl leans towards refined formal considerations of balance between form, colour and material, yet the dimension of time gives distinction to these unusual pieces. For this exhibit
Soihl invited guest artists Kaite Chase and Howard Neufeld to each
exhibit one sculpture.
JUDITH POXSON FAWKES: NEW TAPESTRIES Laura Russo Gallery, Portland, Jun 7-30 The intricately designed tapestries of Judith Poxson
Fawkes are dynamic in their sense of movement and rhythmic colour.
Poxson Fawkes creates her pieces in linen using inlay and double-weave
techniques. The elegantly crafted artworks are beautifully meditative in
their structure with surfaces that exude a warm textured depth resulting
directly from vibrant interactions of weft and warp threads. The accomplished artist has been exhibiting her tapestries since the 1960s and is
represented nationally in many prominent collections.
HEIDI SCHWEGLER: THE KNOWN WORLD Chambers@916, Portland,
May 3-Jun 22 Portland artist Heidi Schwegler creates complex personal narratives within multidisciplinary artworks. Over the past two
years she has been a tourist in places like China, Iceland, Argentina
and Southern California where a disconnect from the familiar presented the notion of perceptual blindness. The Known World is a suite
of objects, images and video conceptualizing this theme and Schwegler’s subsequent method of identifying with objects or situations in
an unfamiliar environment. The body of work alludes to that which
is known but not seen.
REX AMOS: SCISSOR CUTS Hallie Ford Museum of Art, Salem, Jun 16Aug 12 A skilled cutter, Rex Amos uses precision scissors to meticulously cut materials for his tightly-contrived collages. Combinations
of clippings from vintage magazines, old posters and random
ephemera become quirky satires and exotic images with a bold spirit.
This exhibit includes pieces from the last 30 years by this Oregon
artist who has been exhibiting regionally since the 1960s. Amos also
uses chine-collé techniques; the distinctive pieces are run through a
press to unify the disparate collage elements.

Sonny Assu + Rande Cook: Ebb and Flow
NANAIMO ART GALLERY, NANAIMO BC – May 18-Sep 1, 2012 Sonny Assu is an interdisciplinary
Montreal artist who challenges public perceptions of aboriginal art. Since graduating from Emily Carr Institute of
Art+Design in 2002, his work frequently combines First
Nations iconography with popular culture in a commentary on social and historical value. Assu’s work has been
collected by the National Gallery of Canada, the Seattle
Art Museum and the Museum of Anthropology among
other public and private collections in Canada and the US.
In Ebb and Flow, Assu presents images of cedar wood remnants discarded by a log-home development company,
mounted on stands to resemble museum objects. In a
series of paintings titled Chilkat, he mixes references to
social media and the traditional Chilkat blanket.
Contemporary Canadian native artist Rande Cook
was born in Alert Bay, Vancouver Island and currently
lives in Victoria, BC. His work addresses the importance
of sacred traditions, rituals, language and stories. In 2008
he inherited his grandfather’s chieftainship and now carries the name Makwala, or moon. Strongly influenced as a

LORETTA BENNETT: QUILTS Greg Kucera Gallery, Seattle, May 17-Jun 30
A fifth-generation Alabama quilter, Loretta Bennett is one of the
youngest to work in the Gee’s Bend style of hand stitching. The unique
region of Gee’s Bend has produced exceptional innovative quilts made
from everyday materials like jeans and flour bags that have been repurposed into patchwork designs that evade the grid in their expressive
geometry. Bennett has travelled widely overseas and nationally with
her husband who was in the Army. Her individual quilts fuse personal
travel experiences with tradition and family history.
ROY MCMAKIN: I CONTINUE TO BELIEVE IN THE POTENTIAL TO EXPRESS
HOPE AND SORROW THROUGH FURNITURE Western Bridge, Seattle, Apr
27-Jul 28 Known for innovative furniture and design concepts that
blur boundaries between function, art and life, Roy McMakin’s new
show has a more autobiographical viewpoint. His signature play on
formal aspects of furniture into realms of the emotional, humorous or
irrational is conveyed in new sculpture, furniture, photographs, video
and drawings, as well as a selection of pieces that span his career. Western Bridge, which was designed by McMakin, is a wholly suitable venue for pushing the personal potential of his witty artworks.
MAR GOMAN Francine Seders Gallery, Seattle, Jun 8-Jul 8 Mar
Goman’s mixed-media artworks run the gamut from collage, sculpture, books and assemblages to installations that contain highly personal and, at times, deeply emotional narratives. The Portland artist
uses familiar, mundane, and often found materials and ephemera to
create a spiritual weight that reflects the darker side of the soul, invisible wounds and a process of self-discovery. Her tactile pieces,
grounded by the warmth of a distinct hand-made aesthetic, incorporate elements of painting and embroidery with images and text.
GATHER UP THE FRAGMENTS: THE ANDREWS SHAKER COLLECTION
Bellevue Arts Museum, Bellevue, Jul 11-Oct 28 Organized by, and first
exhibited at the Hancock Shaker village in Massachusetts, this broad
collection of over 200 objects includes iconic examples of furniture,
traditional textiles and baskets, kitchen implements and other humble
household objects used by the Shaker religious community. Originally
collected from the 1920s to the 1960s by Faith and Edward Deming
Andrews, objects from this communal Christian sect were made for
their own use, and many of the clean, simple designs, innovative joinery and unique construction methods have inspired modern designers.
PHOTOGRAPHIC WANDERINGS Lisa Harris Gallery, Seattle, Aug 2-Sep 2
Sherry Karver, David W. Simpson, Christopher Harris and Peter de
Lory go beyond their usual artistic framework in pieces that convey a
general notion of “wandering”. Karver’s Surveillance Series alludes
to the disintegration between private and public in images taken
from Internet webcams. Simpson’s skeletal billboard imagery was
shot in Mexico, Harris photographed street discards in Idaho, and de
Lory’s roadside images of the stark Nevada desert all evoke an acute
awareness of unusual surroundings.

Alex Grunenfelder: Audio Migration
SURREY ART GALLERY, SURREY BC – Apr 14-Aug 19, 2012 Open Sound is an exhibition program
developed at the Surrey Art Gallery in 2008 to support the production and presentation of audio art
forms. The current exhibition, Audio Migration, is part of a yearlong exhibition guest-curated by Ross Birdwise and presents the
work of three artists: Kristen Roos, Alex Grunenfelder and
Christina Kubisch. With the theme On Air, Underground: Making
the Inaudible Audible, each artwork gives expression to voiceless
and sometimes intangible things.
Using the enclosed but open-air courtyard at the gallery,
Vancouver artist Alex Grunenfelder’s site-specific outdoor sound
installation Audio Migration weaves together field recordings of
local birds and people talking in a slowly changing soundscape.
Organized in three movements, the piece is a four-channel audio
installation approximately 10 minutes long. The first part focuses
on local bird sounds while the second part introduces human
voices imitating birdsongs and whistles. In the third section, fragmented bits of foreign language, birdcalls, human gibberish,
coughs and grunts, electronic alarm noises and other sounds are
combined in ways that destabilize and surprise the listener.
Alex Grunenfelder studied philosophy at McGill University
and fine art at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. He is Alex Grunenfelder, logo for Audio Migration
a graphic designer with a keen interest in science and technology. [Surrey Art Gallery, Surrey BC, Apr 14-Aug 19]

Ancestral Modern: Australian Aboriginal Art from
the Kaplan & Levi Collection
SEATTLE ART MUSEUM, SEATTLE WA – May 31-Sep 2, 2012 The more than one hundred pieces from
the Kaplan & Levi Collection highlight an important chapter in art history, the resurgence of Australian Aboriginal art through contemporary
works that are based on traditional culture
and methods.
Since much of the visual practice of the
Aboriginal tribes was for sacred purposes, it
was not until the 1970s that this sector of
art was introduced to outsiders when a
mural honouring the Tjala, or Honey Ant
Ancestors, was painted on a government
school building by men from the Papunya
settlement in central Australia.
Included are examples of paintings on canvas, pieces created with bark and natural pigments, and sculptures carved of wood, woven
of fibre and cast in bronze.
Many of the artworks presented communicate indigenous concepts through symbolic
narratives that relate to their story of creation
and to ancestral spirits. A common aesthetic
