In The Unvarnished Truth, that surface is painting. Conceived by McMaster University’s Brandi Lee MacDonald, The Unvarnished Truth brings together experts in applied radiation sciences, biomedical engineering, conservation and forensic art history to examine the material bases of nine historical paintings from the McMaster Museum of Art collection. The result is new narratives, new layers of meaning. Of note in this exhibition is the project’s thoughtful and far-reaching selection of works, which range from 16th century portraits to 20th century constructivist abstractions. In one example, viewers are treated to the chemical breakdown of Jan Gossaert’s Untitled, Portrait of a Man Circle of Jan Gossart (called Mabuse),Unknown, portrait of a man (circa 1520). Here, we learn that the painting has (c. 1520), oil on oak panel [Art Gallery of Alberta, Edmonton AB, been scanned by an Olympus Innov-X Delta Premium model handheld XRF, and that the sitter Apr 30-Sep 18] and his surroundings are composed of iron, mercury, lead, copper and calcium elements – “typical of those used by a painter active in that time period.” Michael Turner imagery and symbolism have influenced human creativity across time and cultures; Thru Sep 18 JUNO Tour of Canadian Art, past JUNO award winners and nominees have each selected a work of art from our collection that resonates with them personally or artistically, celebrating the 2016 JUNO Awards and Calgary’s Year of Music by pairing great Canadian music with great Canadian art.

The wide-ranging works in this ambitious group show also explore material processes, the nature of the decorative and notions of excess, contributing to a visually dynamic and space-filling display of colours, patterns and textures. The effect challenges our conception of the art gallery as an austere white cube. DARIAN GOLDIN STAHL: MRI IN USE Alberta Printmakers Gallery and Studio, Calgary, Jun 10-Jul 16 Based on the research, experience and MRI scans of the artist’s sister, a bioethicist diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, artist Darian Goldin Stahl has created an immersive installation that speaks to illness, medical science and the vulnerable human body. A mood of anxiety pervades these works, which include a series of life-sized images of hospital gowns, printed on silk and hovering, delicate and ghostlike, in the darkened gallery. CARRYING ON Alberta Craft Council Discovery Gallery, Edmonton, Jun 18-Jul 23 This group exhibition features bags, pouches and other cultural containers created by contemporary First Nations artists of Alberta. It celebrates the recent flowering of indigenous cultural expression in the province and speaks to both tradition and innovation in the forms, motifs and materials employed. The idea of a bag or a container is itself a powerful metaphor as a means of carrying ideas and beliefs forward into the future. G’DDY UP! Newzones, Calgary, Jul 9-30 An energetic and goodhumoured tribute to the Calgary Stampede and its impact on civic identity, G’ddy Up! riffs on cowboy culture and the idea of the Wild West. Exhibiting artists, who include Joe Andoe, Dianne Bos and Jeff Nachtigall, bring fresh and lively interpretations to enduring themes and images, and demonstrate that the nostalgic longing for the simple life of old is not at all simple.

Artists represented include Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Holman Hunt and John Everett Millais, and the subjects range from the isolated human figure, either nude or clothed, to imaginative renderings of Medieval and Renaissance scenes. Frederick Sandys preview-art.com PREVIEW 11 willamette.edu/arts/hfma/index.html HALLIE FORD MUSEUM OF ART, SALEM OR – Jun 4-Aug 28, 2016 This major retrospective of paintings and prints by Royal Nebeker (1945–2014) includes pieces that have never before been exhibited. Nebeker was a preeminent Northwest painter, a skilled printmaker and influential arts educator based in Oregon for 40 years; he also served two terms on the Oregon Arts Commission from 2006–14. Nebeker’s paintings are defined by an intense personal vision. Throughout his career, the prolific artist focused on psychological themes in dramatic figurative oil paintings and sensitive works on paper, using still life and floral subjects in watercolour and as monotypes. The exhibit includes work from as early as the 1960s to the most current pieces painted shortly before his passing. Being of Scandinavian descent, fondness for Norwegian culture is evident in his work. The artist completed postgraduate studies at the prestigious National School of Fine Arts in Oslo, as well as a residency at Edvard Munch’s Ekley studio. In Nebeker’s elusive paintings, a nexus Royal Nebeker, Blue Bike (2013), oil on canvas [Hallie Ford Museum of Art, of relationships exist that draw from the Salem OR, Jun 4-Aug 28] Collection: Sarah Nebeker power of memory, history, dreams and experience. Words, quotes and notations, often written in other languages, appear like streams of thought; collage elements materialize in the form of ticket stubs, handbills and other printed material from his travels, further obscuring a sense of time, place and meaning in his dynamic canvases. Together this multiplicity of elements is filtered into otherworldly scenes, often grand in scale, creating a metaphorical place on the cusp of emotional and physical realms.

PREVIEW 13 probertsongallery.com Kirsty Templeton Davidge: Hole-And-Corner PETER ROBERTSON GALLERY, EDMONTON AB – Jun 23-Jul 12, 2016 Although her CV dates back to 2012, Templeton Davidge’s paintings suggest an artist who has been around forever. A 2015 graduate of the University of Alberta’s BFA program, she is the recipient of numerous awards and scholarships. As for her paintings, they are as numerous and as varied as one would expect of an artist in her prime. Born in Toronto and now living in Edmonton, Templeton Davidge is a memory artist who appears aware of the facts of her past, but is especially interested in their “after-image.” On her website she says this of her paintings: “Some are inspired by childhood memories of driving back and forth along Toronto area highways in the 1970s. Always moving forward, but never arriving at a comfortable place.” In large-format oils like Second Saturday (2015) and Second Sunday (2015), we see the highway as a child might have seen it from a car window. But it is in a more recent portrait such Kirsty Templeton Davidge, 3 Buttons (2016), oil on canvas [Peter as WASP (2016) and a still life such as 3 Buttons Robertson Gallery, Edmonton AB, Jun 23-Jul 12] (2016) that we experience the recesses of these memories in the form of folded and wrinkled clothing.

(1886). In Tolstoy’s story, a peasant anxious for more land enters into a business deal that allows him as much land as he can stake off before sunset. But as the peasant deliberates on where to place his third stake, he begins to come unhinged. Ellis’ exhibition is by no means a literal representation of Tolstoy’s story. Instead, it provides evidence of an interior state common to those for whom abstract form, not narrative figuration, best expresses our modern condition. For Ellis, this condition is conveyed through “images that allude to the distinct views on land use held by each of the six generations associated with the family ranch in southern Alberta.” Like his 2005 Eight Miles of Barbed Wire exhibition, whose title is based on the (literal) distance between the first telephone in southern Alberta and the station to which it was connected, the works in the Third Stake also hinge on distance – be they the placement of forms at opposing ends of the canvas, or, if stacked one atop the other, the time it takes each preceding form to settle in and dry.

At first glance, this style of painting could be mistaken for an attempt by its practitioners to confront the 20th century ascendance of photography in the making of the new art. But the longer one spends with a David Hockney or a Gerhard Richter, the more one learns about both media, to say nothing of the act of looking. Throughout his long career, John Hall has produced a number of acrylic paintings that could be described as PhotoRealist. However, where Hall differs from Richter or Richard Estes is on the subject of genre. If Richter is known for his “blurred” portraits, and Estes for his New York streetscapes, Hall, like Audrey Flack, is known for his still lifes. There are a number of still John Hall, Muñeca (1992), acrylic on canvas [Kelowna Art Gallery, Kelowna BC, Apr 16-Jul 10] lifes in Travelling Light that bring to mind the pop cultural studies of Flack, though some are focused on single objects. One is Orbit (2009), a 12 x 12 foot painting of a chocolate donut. At first glance, the eye is drawn to the light glowing on the donut’s sugary surface, but when one looks twice, it is the subject’s amber shadow that draws us closer.

PREVIEW 21 pentictonartgallery.com Behind the Lines: Contemporary Syrian Art PENTICTON ART GALLERY, PENTICTON BC – Jul 8-Sep 11, 2016 For a while last year, Syria was everywhere – online, on TV, and, most importantly, on our minds. The only places Canadians were not seeing Syria was in our art galleries. But the Penticton Art Gallery has changed that. In what is billed as “the largest exhibition of contemporary art from Syria in Canadian history,” the PAG, in conjunction with the Cyrrus Online Gallery of Damascus, presents over 100 artworks by 20 artists. “The purpose of this exhibition,” writes PAG director/curator Paul Crawford, “is to introduce to the western world a crosssection of contemporary Syrian artists from the established to the emerging, both male and female, and have them share their personal stories and the stories of their communities back in Syria today.” While some might think Penticton an unlikely place for such an auspicious exhibition, Omran Younis, Untitled (2014), mixed media [Penticton Art Gallery, Penticton BC, Jul 8-Sep 11] think again. “For the past two years," says Crawford, "the Penticton Art Gallery has endeavoured to tell the stories behind the headlines of the people living in countries where the Canadian military has been engaged.” Indeed, last year the gallery presented the Kabul Art Project, an exhibition of drawings and paintings by 27 contemporary Afghan artists, alongside Canadian War Artist Program participant Allan Harding Mackay’s controversial Gift of Conscience.

In her Two Rivers show, organized in collaboration with the Reach Gallery Museum in Abbotsford, she focuses on ideas and processes of material transformation. Sculptures, videos and woven forms allude to the charged relationship between nature, culture and the extraction of resources such as copper and oil. Ruth Beer AIMÉE HENNY BROWN: FUTUR SIMPLE/FUTUR ANTÉRIEUR The Reach Gallery Museum, Abbotsford, May 5-Sep 4 This exhibition’s fantastical, collage-based works draw on popular culture images from the mid-20th century, when society was immensely optimistic about the future, and ideas surrounding technological advances, space exploration and interplanetary travel loomed large in the public imagination. Aimée Henny Brown asks us to pose these now-antiquated notions of the future against our contemporary anxieties about the non-sustainability of our over-consuming and planet-destroying ways. TWENTY-THREE DAYS AT SEA, CHAPTER ONE Access Gallery, Vancouver, May 28-Jul 16 Access Gallery, in partnership with the Burrard Arts Foundation and the Contemporary Art Gallery, recently offered highly unusual “travelling artists’ residencies” aboard container ships sailing from Vancouver to Shanghai. This exhibition features new work by the residency’s four inaugural artists who, through a range of forms and disciplines, from sculpture to movement, meditate on themes and experiences related (or not) to their passage across the Pacific. Aimée Henny Brown Christopher Boyne IRA HOFFECKER: BERLIN IDENTITIES Sidney and Gertrude Zack Gallery, Vancouver, Jun 2-Jul 3 The making and mapping of place and the shifting of civic identity through time are themes that run through this series of mixed-media works focused on Berlin. Ira Hoffecker’s creative process of building up and sanding down his painted surface echoes the historic processes of construction, decay, demolition and rebuilding. It also serves as a metaphor for memory, forgetting and “coming to terms with historic events.” Ira Hoffecker WHERE/BETWEEN Equinox Gallery, Vancouver, Jun 4-Jul 9 Guestcurated by Pantea Haghighi, where/between spotlights five expatriate Iranian artists whose works employ “the bridge” as a concept, a visual motif or a metaphor. Their forms and media range from painting, drawing, weaving and sculpture to digital photography, video installation and laser-cut wood panels. Themes include the disjunctions that occur through migration, with its challenges to ideas of place and cultural identity.

This exhibition explores the inspiration he drew from six of them and their impact on his groundbreaking art. Through paintings, drawings, prints and sculptures, the exhibition looks at the lives and personalities of Fernande Olivier, Olga Khokhlova, Marie-Thérèse Walter, Dora Maar, Françoise Gilot and Jacqueline Roque. JOE FAFARD: RETAILLES Burnaby Art Gallery, Burnaby, Jun 24-Aug 28 One of Canada’s most beloved artists, Joe Fafard is represented in this show by his experiments in laser-cut and welded metal sculpture, together with embossed and woodcut prints. Retailles is a French word meaning scraps or leftovers and refers here to the cut-out pieces of metal that are a by-product of the laser process. The artist recycles these forms into new assemblages, reconfiguring negative space as positive. Pablo Picasso Joe Fafard RYLAND FORTIE: CHATROOM PARANOIA Kamloops Art Gallery, Kamloops, Jul 2-Sep 3 The twelfth annual Curator’s Choice exhibition spotlights the work of Thompson Rivers University graduate Ryland Fortie. His multi-media installation makes reference to virtual social spaces found on the Internet. Video, sculpture and faux objects, such as plastic fruit and plaster body parts, suggest the blurring of lines between the virtual and the physical, and examine the impact of that phenomenon on social interactions. SUSAN MENZIES: WALLY DOGS Kelowna Art Gallery, Kelowna, Jul 9-Oct 16 “Wally dogs” is the colloquial Scottish term for the Staffordshire dog figurines that were often found on the mantelpieces and window sills of 19th-century British homes. Calgary-based artist Susan Menzies paints small, evocative portraits of these porcelain dogs, using them as a vehicle for exploring not only material culture, markers of class and the shifting values of collectibles but also child labour in Victorian England. THE ART OF DR. SEUSS Pendulum Gallery, Vancouver, Jul 11-30 Most of us associate Dr. Seuss, a.k.a. Theodor Seuss Geisel, with The Cat in the Hat and his 43 other extraordinary children’s books. Less known is his successful career as an editorial cartoonist and commercial illustrator in the 1920s through the 1940s, and also his independent ventures into drawing, painting and sculpture. This engaging exhibition features examples of his wide-ranging art across nearly seven decades.

PREVIEW 27 nikkeiplace.org Chino Otsuka: Arrival NIKKEI NATIONAL MUSEUM, BURNABY BC – Jun 11-Sep 4, 2016 Otsuka is best known for a 2005 project entitled Imagine Finding Me, where the artist digitally montaged photographs of her adult self with those of her childhood self. What makes this series more than a gimmick is Otsuka’s ability to convince the viewer of a liminal space between ascribed relationships (mother, daughter, sister, aunt) and those we achieve throughout the course of our lifetime (friend, teacher, student, client). For her current exhibition, inspired by a 2014 residency at the Nikkei archives, the UK-based Otsuka has produced an immersive multi-channel installation that combines new photographs with those of young Japanese women who came to Canada as “picture Chino Otsuka, Arrival (2016), photograph with archival image (NNM 2001-28-2-4: A picture brides” in the early 20th century. bride photo of Kinori Oka, Nikkei National Museum) [Nikkei National Museum, Burnaby BC, Also included are the personal Jun 11-Sep 4] belongings of four of these brides. As with Otsuka’s earlier work, Arrival succeeds in the creation of a new space, one that “capture[s] the time of anticipation, hope and adventure” that these young women experienced as they left home for parts unknown, but also its darker side of disappointment and, invariably, hardship. Making this work particularly relevant to younger audiences is how similar the “picture bride” phenomenon is to what is presently available through social media marriage sites the world over.

The drum is made of deer hide, a material I didn’t have a great deal of experience with, and is decorated with acrylic paint. The drum had hung in the home of my client for some time, but with fluctuations in humidity and temperature, the hide had split, resulting in the large tear. The piece had been made by their nephew and was for display purposes only. Their main concern was the final appearance, and they assured me that the drum would never be played. With this in mind, I tried to establish a restoration method that would result in the best appearance without compromising the materials used by the artist. The artist had decoFirst Nations deer hide drum with tear, pre-treatment rated the drum with acrylic paints, and I felt that using some modern materials would be acceptable. The first step was to bring the edges of the split close enough together that they could be bridged with another material. The large flap of hide that had broken away from the main body of the drum had become very stiff and the edges had begun to curl, making this task difficult. With humidity, heat and weights, I slowly coaxed the flap into a flat surface and brought it closer to the main edge. At this point I was able to secure the two edges closer together using a fine material that bridged the back of the two edges with an adhesive that would be unlikely to react to environmental fluctuations. The next step was to hide the approximately 1 to 2 cm gap that still remained between the two edges. The drum had a very specific texture that could not be mimicked with the regular gesso fill methods. Instead I chose a very fine Japanese tissue that had a similar colour to the original deer hide. I cut the paper to match the gap between the two edges and applied it to the existing material. Once the base matched, I was then able to paint with acrylics to connect the areas of design that were missing. This treatment took me out of my comfort zone as a conservator and challenged me to think about working with new materials. The juxtaposition of traditional materials and techniques and modern acrylic paints was also important to consider, as I endeavoured to respect the original methods and intent of the artist. My client was also very pleased with the result and reported that the drum is back in its original location.

Exceptional PREVIEW 33 deluge.ws Jeremy Borsos: Immaculate Debris DELUGE CONTEMPORARY ART, VICTORIA BC – Jun 17-Jul 16, 2016 It’s impossible to be pithy when describing Borsos’ rather mysterious body of work, but thematically, certain characteristics stand clear: nostalgia, printed materials, mass production, ephemera, analysis, the acts of cataloguing and resurrection. Referred to as archive art, this work is a saddening spectacle of remnants from times passed, including elderly concert tickets, decaying photographs and home movies. This is poetry. Borsos explains: “The exhibition includes a large (48 x 4 feet) vitrine work…containing several hundred objects that are from distant eras. The objects are rather arcane and for this exhibition are displayed in pairs … so really you are seeing about a hundred and fifty objects repeating – rather than three hundred unique "things"…. I hope the work, when it is successful, nuances the various platforms … to describe the language of history/events and the process of memory loss, as opposed to the convention of what we remember.” Borsos divides his time between Mayne Island, BC and Jeremy Borsos, The Great Aims Society (2015), video still [Deluge Contemporary Art, Victoria Athens, Greece, and, in addiBC, Jun 17-Jul 16] tion to developing his extensive collections, he also experiments with art books, architecturally-based projects and film. There will be at least two films included in this exhibit, The Great Aims Society and Drive By. Borsos’ short films are narrative driven and culled from his archive of found footage, consisting primarily of anonymous home movies filmed between 1933 and 1959.

The exhibition, entitled 6: New Vancouver Modern, featured works in a variety of media, genres and styles by Moppett, Geoffrey Farmer, Myfanwy MacLeod, Steven Shearer, Ron Terada and Kelly Wood, all of whom have gone on to establish dynamic practices. Of those who emerged from the 6 show, it is Moppett who explored the most media – from drawing and painting, to video and music, to ceramics and sculpture. While many of these explorations continue to reference iconic artists like Alexander Calder and Anthony Caro, the past few years have seen Moppett make the studio both the subject and the context of his work. Moppett’s current exhibition of abstract paintings and sculptures is inspired by a photograph of Alan Jarvis burning the “rejected” paintings of David Milne at Six Mile Lake, Ontario in Damian Moppett, Figure Ground I, Figure Ground II (2016), oil on canvas diptych [Catriona Jeffries Gallery, 1939. Here, the studio Vancouver BC, May 6-Jun 25] as a site of creation is exchanged for Nature as a site of destruction, an inversion that brings to mind the photo-conceptual project of fellow 6 artist Kelly Wood who, in an effort to best “represent” the excesses of the capitalist mode of production, eventually replaced candy with garbage as her subject.

After moving to Richmond, BC in the 1990s, the self-taught photographer deepened his commitment to the medium. Last year, the Richmond Art Gallery mounted an exhibition of Sand’s photographs of Finn Slough, a seaport community that Sand describes as having “unimaginable and primitive beauty that is both simple and compelling.” In his first Vancouver exhibition, Sand presents a series of works whose title might be that of a seaport in Xinbei, Taiwan. If the source of the title is uncertain, that is the intention. According to curator Sen Wong: “Looking at Sand Wan’s photographs is a negotiation between what you see versus what you know. Solely looking at the images, one may pick up hints of the actual subject here and there, but with no specific title to refer to, the viewer is free to experience his/her minds' abstractions and compositions.” Most noticeable in Sand’s black and white photographs is a lack of human presence, but also the artist’s technical ability. Are these photos taken from a satellite? Are they microscopic close-ups of a beach rock? Or are they the result of something Sand Wan, Silent #1 (2015), inkjet print [Viridian Gallery, cooked up in post-production? One can only keep Vancouver BC, May 12-Jun 23] looking.

PREVIEW 45 Practical Art History or Confessions of a Fine Art Appraiser BY JIM FINLAY FINLAY FINE ART FinlayFineArt.com Chapter 52. The Case of the Recalcitrant Rembrandt My client told me that he had inherited the painting on the left from a recently deceased German relative and that he remembers seeing the painting as a child. Au verso of the painting in cursive script are the words “Rembrandt Orig. 1631” and the remains of a label. He did not know anything else about it and wished to have it appraised for fair market value. As most art historians will tell you, historic paintings often take on a life of their own. They exist over time, are hesitant about revealing their true age, have distinct personalities, are nomadic, and sometimes deliberately mask their origins and the nature of their true character and identity. This perception, I think, could be applied to the two paintings; one perhaps has a more respectable art historUnknown Portrait, oil on canvas (partially cleaned) ical pedigree than the other, but both are essentially the same image of an old man wearing a cap. The painting below, formerly known as Rembrandt’s Father or Rembrandt’s Brother, was acquired from the E. Habich Kassel Collection in 1891 by the Gemäldegalerie, Kassel, Germany. It was previously consigned to auction from the Freiherr von Friesen Collection and sold at the March 26–27, 1885 Heberle Keulen (Moore’s Art Gallery) auction to Edward Habich of Kassel. It is dated after 1630, thought to have been painted by Rembrandt and was listed and illustrated as Rembrandt’s Father in Rembrandt Paintings by A. Bredius and H. Gerson (1971). In 1986 the painting was reassessed and attributed to a contemporary of Rembrandt’s named Jan Lievens (1607–1674). My client’s painting exhibits some quite obvious similarities to the one attributed to Jan Lievens, and one wonders why it has not been subjected to traditional art historical inquiry to establish its origin and authenticity. The image appears to be stylistically consistent with other paintings by both Lievens and Rembrandt. Lievens collaborated and shared a studio with Rembrandt from 1626 until 1631 when they parted ways, and their competitive collaboration was intimate enough to cause difficulties in the attribution of works from this period. The painting attributed to Jan Lievens appears to demonstrate all the attributes required to establish perAttributed to Jan Lievens, Bust of a Man with a manent and prolonged art historical residency. It has a Cap, oil on oak pane traceable pedigree, is recognized by society as a cultural artifact and is imbued with respectability and civility. The unknown painting, however, is of dubious origin, undocumented and, perhaps, at some future point, will take its rightfully deserved place in the history of art.

Celebrated by locals and visitors alike, the $30 million Patkau Architects-designed building, located on a wooded flood plain beside the village townsite, had its ribbon cut barely 40 months after developer Michael Audain announced his intention to “build a home” for his and his wife Yoshiko Karasawa’s predominantly British Columbian art collection. But with that home now built, are people coming? “May is a quiet month, a transition from skiing to summer activities,” says Executive Director Suzanne Greening as we move quickly through the spacious but otherwise empty hemlock-scented lobby toward the museum’s BC galleries. When asked how many memberships the Audain has sold, Greening confesses she does not have an exact figure, but in the museum’s first 32 days, 8,000 people have walked through its doors. Not bad for a town of 10,000. Although the building is praised for its thoughtful, environmentally sensitive design, more experienced gallery-goers have grumbled that its walls are too cluttered – this despite the museum doubling its original exhibition space to 56,000 square feet (the Vancouver Art Gallery, by comparison, has 41,000 square feet). While true that the BC galleries would benefit from an edit (why not open with just one work by each of the photo-conceptualists?), the path that links them – from 19th century carvers to interdisciplinarians like Raymond Boisjoly – rarely departs from parallel, if at times interweaving, indigenous and settler narratives. This, most would agree, is an achievement. “Culture is the third leg of the stool,” Greening says over her shoulder as we leave the sparer Mexican Modernists exhibition for the building’s just-opened second floor. Asked to elaborate on the metaphor, Greening recalls a Tourism Whistler report that has organizations like the Audain closing the gap between outdoor sporting seasons, while at the same time providing a year-round “complement” to both. Will the museum be partnering with other cultural organizations? Greening mentions a recent conversation with the Whistler Film Festival – a complementary choice given that none of the works on display is a film or a video. After a rundown on the second floor’s upcoming Masterworks from the Beaverbrook Art Gallery (June 18-September 11, 2016), Greening excuses herself to lead “yet another tour.” I take a final look around, my eyes lingering on the Emily Carr-like thicket of trees outside the second floor’s magnificent trapezoid window. As I return down the long glass-walled hallway, I can hear Greening once again describe the museum’s knotless hemlock-panelled interior, only this time the lobby is packed. 50 PREVIEW ■ JUNE/JULY/AUGUST 2016 PHOTO: BOB FRID / COURTESY: AUDAIN ART MUSEUM Audain Art Museum graduating students of the Freda Diesing School of Northwest Coast Art in Terrace, BC.

This is an exciting opportunity for those of us interested in the field of BioArt. Willet’s work “explores notions of representation, the body, ecologies, and interspecies interrelations in the biotechnological field.” Willet completed a Masters degree in Fine Arts at the University of Guelph before earning a PhD in Interdisciplinary Studies at Concordia University in 2009. She is currently an Assistant Professor in the School of Visual Arts at the University of Windsor, where she founded INCUBATOR, Canada’s first art/science laboratory. INCUBATOR “functions both as an apparatus in which environmental conditions can be controlled towards the assisted proliferation of life, but also as a site that supports the proliferation of new ideas – new artistic practices.” Elaborating on an earlier work called BioARTCAMP, an art/science happening that took place in July 2011 in the Rocky Mountains, the Natural Science tour is a platform for Dr. Willet to present Jennifer Willet, Natural Science (2014), mixed media [Open Space, lab specimens, as well as video, photography and Victoria BC, Jun 17-Jul 30] stories culled from “a variety of scientific, ecological, creative, and theoretical projects” completed during BioARTCAMP.

A trend that took root in the 1970s had artists continuing to produce objects and gestures while at the same time questioning the assumptions that underlie their assembly, distribution and meaning. For some, “archaeology” is the metaphor used to describe this questioning; for the Linklaters, it is “excavation.” In this exhibition – a curatorial project of the Ociciwan Art Collective – Duane Linklater and Tanya Lukin Linklater provide installations that “explore notions of excavation in relation to the intellectual, environmental and cultural resources most immediate to the artists.” For Duane, the object under study is the wall upon which an artwork hangs, but especially the composition of that wall, how its materials (gypsum, wood and steel) are ideologically rooted in the political economy of a country that has walled-in those it calls “aboriginal.” For Tanya, the focus is less on the physical presence of the gallery than on our recognition of it as a “site where critical modes of discourse may converge.” Through her “excavation” of the institution’s archive, Tanya has produced an “open-ended” work that asks, Duane Linklater, A Sort of Naiveté (2015), Sheetrock, among other things, “How does the institution per- pushpins, digital print on paper [Art Gallery of Alberta, form?” Michael Turner Edmonton AB, Apr 30-Sep 18] ★ Avenue Gallery 2184 Oak Bay Ave ✆250-598-2184 theavenuegallery.com mon-sat 10am-5:30pm sun 11am-5pm, open most holidays 12-4pm.

PREVIEW 59 portlandartmuseum.org PORTLAND ART MUSEUM, PORTLAND OR – Jun 4-Sep 4, 2016 This travelling exhibit of contemporary Native American fashion includes nearly 100 pieces by 71 indigenous designers from across the U.S. and Canada. Organized by the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, MA, this will be the only West Coast venue to host the exhibit, which unravels dated notions of what Native American design looks like. From vibrant street clothing to elegant haute couture, the garments, jewellery and accessories on exhibit celebrate individuality in pieces that span the last half-century to today. The exhibit identifies five themes: Pathbreakers, Revisitors, Activators, Provocateurs and Motivators. The Pathbreakers are essentially “groundbreakers” including Cherokee designer Lloyd “Kiva” New who is considered the father of contemporary Native American fashion. New was the first to bring his successful clothing line from the 1950s and 60s into mainstream distribution at Neiman Marcus and at boutiques on Fifth Avenue and in Beverly Hills. The Revisitors showcase designs that have renewed and expanded on tradition, like a pair of Christian Louboutin boots embellished by Jamie Okuma, a Luiseño/Shoshone-Bannock prize-winning artist who began beading at the age of 5. The Activators focus is on everyday wear from sneakers to tee shirts that have just the right amount of political flair. The Provocateurs create conceptually driven experimental works, like Portland artist Wendy Red Star, and the Motivators are designers working within companies to shift the business of fashion from Native-inspired back to inspired Natives.

Brophy’s large-scale oil paintings are immersive, faithfully rendering the Northwest in grand scenes that show both old growth trees as well as ominous portrayals of tree stump graveyards. In some of these beautiful articulations of place, modest figures create a powerful sense of scale while recalling the overarching effects of human industry on the environment. RYAN PIERCE: DUSK IS THE MOUTH OF NIGHT Elizabeth Leach Gallery, Portland, Jun 2-Jul 16 This new exhibition is a continuation of Ryan Pierce’s ongoing series Terra Incognita, which looks at the links between natural history, exploration and conquest. His large-scale paintings are alluring in their colour and mystery, depicting an amalgamation of still life objects and unearthly environs that are wrought with symbolism. We don’t know exactly what is happening in these surreal narratives, yet they are undoubtedly dystopian. Many of Pierce’s scenes evoke stories of exploitation, while others depict museum settings destroyed by storms and flooding associated with climate change. MARC BOONE: PACIFIC PORTALS, ARCANE IMAGE Imogen Gallery, Astoria, Jun 11-Jul 5 Northwest artist Marc Boone keeps his main studio on Washington’s Long Beach Peninsula; his paintings mirror the primordial geology of the Columbia Pacific region where the confluence of water, land and sky are in ever-changing grandeur. Distilling his compositions into essential forms rendered as deep earthy impasto textures, Boone’s “portals” act as emotive recollections of moments when a plethora of natural elements inseparably converge. In these somewhat abstract paintings, Boone’s glimpse into tidal ebbs and flows reflect the enigmatic process of observation and creation. DAVID SELLECK: COUCH PAINTING Blackfish Gallery, Portland, May 31Jul 2 David Selleck’s imaginary world employs humour and wit to tell stories that are just outside the viewer’s reach. The artist draws from the weirdness of daily life he encounters, seeing his work as an escape valve from “this too serious world.” Filtering the state of contemporary affairs into finely crafted paintings, Selleck devours news, photos, ads and other detritus from our media-saturated culture as a daily standalone practice of creating 30-minute collage drawings. In turn these become the basis for Selleck’s quirky paintings. RANDALL DAVID TIPTON: NEW LANDSCAPES Coos Art Museum, Coos Bay, Jul 9-Sep 24 Randall David Tipton paints non-traditional landscapes based on Oregon locations that the artist visits often. Vibrant colour choices point to the transcendental qualities of nature, while painterly gestures are balanced with quiet moments of gentle hues and ethereal space. Tipton works in both oil and watermedia and has been exhibiting his paintings for over three decades. He studied under Richard Diebenkorn in 1985 in the Master class at the Santa Fe Institute of Fine Art. preview-art.com Michael Brophy Ryan Pierce Marc Boone David Selleck Randall David Tipton PREVIEW 61 Granville St Davie St to downtown Vancouver W 5th Ave UNO LANGMANN ◆ POUSETTE (Take elevator PACIFIC WAVE to 4th floor) GLASS ART ◆◆ KIMOTO W 6th Ave ◆◆ PETLEY JONES neth Price: Garden Conversation; Jesse Reno: Before Time Began; Jul 9Sep ELISSA 24 23rdCRISTALL Annual◆Maritime Art Exhi◆ MASTERS bition; William A.◆ Selden, featured HEFFEL 7th Ave Maritime artist; Donna W Wright: Retrospective; Randall David Tipton: New IAN TAN ◆ Landscapes; Thru Oct 1 Coos Art MuseDOUGLAS REYNOLDS ◆ um 50th Anniversary Exhibition.

With well-received solo shows in Los Angeles and Tampa, Florida, Livingston, now 62, is also attracting attention in group shows in Germany, China, Indiana and New York. Kaneko Dango Margie Livingston EMANCIPATING THE PAST: KARA WALKER’S TALES OF SLAVERY AND POWER Bellevue Arts Museum, Bellevue, Jul 8-Nov 27 Drawing from the art collection of industrialist Jordan Schnitzer, this survey of the 46-year-old former MacArthur Fellow displays three print portfolios that illuminate Walker’s hatred of dominant white culture in the U.S. Her themes of race, slavery and sexual violence are countered by black critics in an interesting book, Kara Walker No/ Kara Walker Yes/ Kara Walker?

Raven Skyriver Deloss Webber preview-art.com PREVIEW 67 seattleartmuseum.org SEATTLE ART MUSEUM, SEATTLE, WA – Jun 9-Aug 28, 2016 Considering that printmaking was revived as a legitimate contemporary art form in the 20th century, it is high time the Seattle Art Museum is trotting out several centuries of masterpieces to demonstrate how it all got started. Assembled over decades, thanks to perspicacious collectors like Leo Wallerstein, SAM’s graphic masters on view give visitors and art students an in-depth chance to see the earliest examples of engravings, etchings, lithographs, aquatints and woodcuts, beginning with Albrecht Dürer’s large woodcut version of the Passion of Christ (14971510). Two Spanish artists, Francisco Goya and Pablo Picasso, each extended the chemically complicated medium of acid etching in his own way. Goya’s legendary Los Caprichos (1799) are now seen as the dawn of political protest art with their satires of aristocrats, judges and clergy. In the Vollard Suite (1930-37), Picasso extended Goya’s racy angle with frank scenes of mythological figures caught in piquant situations. Besides Hogarth’s Rake’s Progress (1733), another tale of sexual debauchery, R. Crumb, perhaps the crudest and most popular of recent cartoonists, contributes his take on Rembrandt van Rijn, Self-portrait with Saskia (1636), etching [Seattle Art Museum, Seattle WA, Jun 9-Aug 28] the Book of Genesis.

Written by Roger Hull, the monograph was published in conjunction with the retrospective at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art in Salem, OR. Nelson Sandgren (1917-2006) was born in Canada and moved to Oregon with his family during the Depression. Sandgren’s artwork combined a reverence for the Northwest landscape with abstraction and expressive brushwork. Hardcover, 88 pp., $24.95 USD. Available at Hallie Ford Museum of Art, 503-370-6855. BILL REID COLLECTED is a handsome introduction to one of Canada’s most esteemed First Nations artists. With an essay by curator and scholar Martine J. Reid (the artist’s widow), it surveys Bill Reid’s art chronologically, from his early jewellery to his monumental sculptures in bronze.

Environmental concerns outweigh hard-core political art among most of the 24 artists selected from as far away as Boise, Idaho and Walla Walla, Washington. After years of being in a cultural wasteland for the visual artists living there, five Tacoma artists caught the jurors’ attention, including Jeremy Mangan whose Pacific Northwest Desert Island is a hilarious comment on diminishing wildlife areas. Neon installations join quilts, paintings, photographs and prints along with mixed-media assemblages that deal Jeremy Mangan, Pacific Northwest Desert Island (2016), oil and acrylic on canvas with everything from Highway 705 [Tacoma Art Museum, Tacoma WA, May 14-Sep 4] traffic problems filmed from the museum’s rooftop to gender and ethnic identity. The challenge of these artists is to transmute personal expression into social and political art that will not become tiresomely scolding or dated. Artists are caught between dealing with local issues (“All politics is local,” as Tip O’Neill said) and aiming for more widely referential or transcendent content in their art, as Hushka and his co-curator have uncovered some unexpected treasures.
