ROBIN LAURENCE
LAWREN HARRIS: ABSTRACTIONS Art Gallery of Alberta, Edmonton, through September 11 Best known for his 1920s landscapes
of the Canadian wilderness, Group of Seven leader Lawren
Harris made a significant commitment to abstraction in the
1930s. This small exhibition of non-objective paintings demonstrates, among other things, the impact of his theosophical
beliefs on his art. Through colour, light, and simplified form,
Harris sought to express "the spiritual essence of nature".
YOUSUF KARSH, REGARDING HEROES Glenbow Museum, Calgary, April 2-June 15 Armenian-Canadian Yousuf Karsh was one
of the 20th century's most famous portrait photographers. If he
had not shot a single other image, his world-famous 1941 portrait of a defiant Winston Churchill would have forever secured
his reputation. This exhibition, which includes images of Albert
Einstein, Ernest Hemingway, Audrey Hepburn, and Pierre
Elliott Trudeau, reveals how our conception of greatness has
been shaped by one man's vision.
IAN JOHNSTON: ARCHAEOLOGY OF PROCESS Paul Kuhn Gallery,
Calgary, April 9-May 7 Nelson-based artist Ian Johnston is showing a collection of sculptures, in stoneware and porcelain, based
on everyday objects. From cell phones to plastic bags to
brooms, these forms symbolize the archaeological remains of
the future. Johnston spins narratives off them, suggesting how
our culture may some day be interpreted based on the evidence
of our consumption and waste.

TRADITIONS ILLUMINATED: CELEBRATING THE HALLS The Art
Gallery of Calgary, Calgary, April 29-August 27 Art is clearly in the
blood of the Hall family. John, Joice, and their daughter Janine
all pursue highly keyed variations on contemporary realism,
their subjects ranging from still life to landscape to portraiture.
Son and brother Jarvis specializes in hand-crafted picture
frames, themselves works of art in their carving and gilding.
JEREMY DRUMMOND: 65-POINT PLAN FOR SUSTAINABLE LIVING The New Gallery, Calgary, May 5-June 11 This exhibition by
Jeremy Drummond, a Canadian artist based in Richmond, Virginia, consists of 65 aerial photographs of subdivisions from
every Canadian province and US state. Each subdivision image
has been digitally reconstructed to represent an enclosed geographical space, with no roads leading in or out. Taken as a
whole, the installation evokes notions around security and sustainability, from feudal fiefdoms to contemporary gated communities.

IAN TAN GALLERY, VANCOUVER, BC – Apr 30-May 21, 2011
Jay Senetchko: Apologia
PERA ART GALLERY, VANCOUVER, BC – Mar 22-Apr 23, 2011 Jay Senetchko is a primarily self-taught
Vancouver painter. Born in Edmonton, he began painting in 2000. He has taught life drawing and
composition privately and at the Vancouver Film School since 2002. In March 2011, he showed a
series of perfect little still life paintings at Vancouver’s Jacana Gallery. Apologia, at Pera Gallery until
April 23, showcases works based on various art historical moments, philosophies and painters. Systems
at Ian Tan Gallery features portraits
of people, elegantly painted and
without pretence.
Senetchko's style can be refreshingly straight-forward and guileless.
With an eye for the three-dimensional heft of sheer, physical volume
and the transient effects of light, he is
able to paint with the apparent ease
of Edward Hopper and the simplicty
of Ralph Goings. Although he seems
to hide his gift in a great deal of his
work, the paintings in Apologia and
Systems show a clear, mature understanding of his capacity.

Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait
GLENBOW MUSEUM, CALGARY AB – Apr 2-Jul 3, 2011 Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait is an art documentary using sound and image to follow every move of French-born soccer player Zinédine
Zidane at an April 23, 2005 match in Madrid's Santiago Bernabéu stadium. Turner Prize-winning
Glasgow-born artist and filmmaker Douglas Gordon, in conjunction with French-Algerian artist
Philippe Parreno, trained 17 cameras on Zidane then mixed the cuts to create macro shots interspersed with distance views. The film has been described as “the ultimate time and motion study”
since its debut at Cannes in 2006.
The attractive Zidane, with
his French-Algerian heritage, carries the film superbly with his own
complete focus on the ball. Dark,
shaved and intense, he is the perfect subject for a study of an athlete, which the filmmaker has
called “an exercise in solitude”.
The film combines Gordon’s
interest in time-motion studies
and traditional portraiture. His
work, which writer Dan Hill
terms “pitched half way between Still from Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait by Douglas Gordon and Philippe Parreno, film
film and art”, often employs mul- still [Glenbow Museum, Calgary AB, Apr 2-Jul 3]

American Chronicles: The Art of Norman Rockwell
TACOMA ART MUSEUM, TACOMA WA – Feb 26-May 30, 2011 American Chronicles is a major exhi-
bition of Norman Rockwell’s art which is touring nationally. It provides a rare opportunity to see
an extensive collection of original paintings, illustrations and archival studio material from the
Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. Best known for his magazine covers,
especially those he created for The Saturday Evening Post, Rockwell (1894-1978) painted nostalgic
images of American life in the
20th century. His pictures represent feelings of innocence, hope,
courage and change.
With a career that spanned 65
years, Rockwell illustrated pivotal
moments in American history –
including scenes from World War
II and documentation of the Civil
Rights movement – and created
loving scenarios of everyday life.
The exhibit includes such iconic
works as Triple Self-Portrait (1959),
and the famous suite of four paintNorman Rockwell, The Problem We All Live With (1964), oil on canvas (illustration for ings inspired by Franklin RooLook, January 14, 1964) [Tacoma Art Museum, Tacoma WA, Feb 26-May 30] Collection: sevelt’s 1941 State of the Union
Norman Rockwell Museum, Licensed by Norman Rockwell Licensing, Niles IL
Address, Four Freedoms (1943).
Later in Rockwell’s career, he captured the serious realities of desegregation in the American south
in works like The Problem We All Live With (1964), which depicted a young African-American girl
walking to school among white federal marshals past a wall defaced by racist graffiti.
As a visual storyteller and commercial illustrator, Rockwell was not regarded as a fine artist in
his lifetime by critics of the world of modern art. His work took place within an era of rapidly
developing mass media, deeming his artwork synonymous with the popular visual culture of the
20th century. Allyn Cantor

ROBIN LAURENCE
TED SMITH AND A.Y. JACKSON: FAMILIAR TERRITORY Kamloops
Art Gallery, Kamloops, through May 28 Bringing together the
landscape paintings of Ted Smith, a contemporary local artist,
and A.Y. Jackson, a member of the iconic Group of Seven, this
exhibition explores ideas of place and the ways in which landscape speaks to our sense of identity. The show looks particularly
at how each artist has portrayed the Interior of British Columbia, and includes Jackson's acclaimed painting of Mount Paul,
one of the defining features of the Kamloops horizon.
DOWN THE GARDEN PATH Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, Victoria,
through June 5 In different yet complementary ways, Yedda
Morrison's mixed-media installation, Mark Lewis's video projection, and Scott McFarland's photographs address the complexity of the nature/culture interface. Their work asks us to
consider many things, from our use of private gardens and public
parks to our failed environmental policies.
REVISITING THE SILENCE Bill Reid Gallery, Vancouver, through
June 5 New York photographer Adelaide de Menil made a number of trips to the Northwest Coast in the 1960s, 70s and 80s to
shoot the area's totem poles in situ. Often accompanied by Haida artist Bill Reid, she recorded many poles in their last standing
place, before they were removed to museums or subsided into
the earth and forest. This selection of de Menil's black-andwhite photographs inspires us to think, again, about conflicting
ideas of salvage, collection, and truthfulness to indigenous cultural practices.
HADLEY+MAXWELL: WHO THAT HAPPENS Or Gallery, Vancouver,
April 2-May 7 Working across a range of media, this collaborative
duo folds a complicated rethinking of the world into all that they
undertake. In their sculptural installation at the Or, they reinvent
found antique figurative sculptures and furniture. Cutting parts
away and refurbishing the surfaces, they combine these altered
objects with other custom-made elements to create what they
call "three-dimensional grotesques". New meanings emerge, as
do the words of the show's evolving title.

SYLVIA TAIT: A CLASSICAL SPIRIT West Vancouver Museum,
West Vancouver, April 13-May 21 One of the West Coast's most
enduring abstract painters, Sylvia Tait studied art in Montreal
and lived for a spell in Mexico before landing on Vancouver's
North Shore. Working in the mid-century Modernist tradition
of expressive brushwork and vibrant colour, often organizing
her painting field into organic blocks, strands or ladders, she
infuses her practice with passion and energy. This show surveys
her art from the early 1960s to the present.

BRAD PHILLIPS: SOMEONE WRITE ME Monte Clark Gallery,
Vancouver, April 28-May 28 Whether working in oil, watercolour, graphite or photography, Phillips uses black humour and

artist "as a mentally ill, alcoholism-prone, sexually voracious"
person through the labyrinthine reaches of his mind.

Ché Guevara. Paradoxes abound in the choice of this anti-capitalist icon within a retail context, including the fact that none
of the merchandise will be for sale.
WEIZHI ZHANG Art Beatus, Vancouver, April 29-June 24 Chinese

Arnold Shives
BURNABY ART GALLERY, BURNABY BC – May 24-Jun 26, 2011 British Columbia artist Arnold Shives
is an experienced mountain climber who derives much of his subject matter for painting, assemblage
and printmaking from photographs taken during expeditions. As with the works of Toni Onley, Gordon Smith
and Richard Diebenkorn, Shives adopted a modernist
approach to picture making that has continued to inform
his paintings and prints of landscapes over the past fifty
years.
His imagery reveals his background as a master
printmaker and his love of the wilderness. With layered
shapes, simple colours and a strong use of line, he creates
assemblages of scenes in nature. His materials have
included watercolour, linocuts, pastels, monotypes, etchings and experimentations with grounds like plywood,
board and perforated steel.
Shives’s work has been exhibited across Canada, the
United States, South Africa, Europe and Japan, and is in
numerous major collections including the National
Gallery of Canada and the San Francisco Art Museum.
He studied at the University of British Columbia, earned
a BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute during the
Arnold Shives, Rays of Sun (1994), linocut on paper
[Burnaby Art Gallery, Burnaby BC, May 24-Jun 26] City 1960s, and received an MA in Painting from Stanford
of Burnaby Permanent Art Collection, gift of David Hui

awards and distinctions, including Canada Council
grants, he was appointed a member of the Royal Canadian Academy (RCA) in 2006. Arnold Shives

BY ANN ROSENBERG
Education for the Eye, Soul & Mind
Six decades ago in Toronto, a single visit to the Art Gallery of Ontario was a curriculum requirement
for sixth grade pupils. A pencil thin lady led the tour. I remember nothing she said, but the AGO’s
Group of Seven landscapes were unforgettable. It was Diego Rivera’s art, however, that invaded my
soul. Before that day, graphic expressions of oppression and murder were unknown to me. This requisite gallery trip directed the future course of my life.
When I was Assistant Curator (Education) at the Vancouver Art Gallery in 1965, like my AGO
forebear, I introduced whole busloads of children to the gallery’s purpose and talked about a few highlights in the VAG’s then-small collection. By that decade most galleries had docents trained in art history, art appreciation and question-and-answer techniques. These volunteers discussed specific artworks with
smaller clusters of pupils.
When employed at Surrey Art Gallery in the late
1980s, I observed that this basic system was still followed by Ingrid Kolt, the institution’s Art Education
specialist. Here, however, the SAG’s docents were
mainly taught about contemporary art and art issues,
since the permanent collection at that time held only
late-20th century works. By the beginning of the 21st Courtesy: Art Gallery of Ontario
century the majority of important art institutions (big or
small) anywhere in the world were becoming familiar
with new technologies like video and computer-generated art, new materials such as polyester
resin, and art movements and their attendant philosophies that were in constant flux; but the traditional school tour was by no means dead.
It amused me that the internet promo for “Gallery Visits for Schools 2010-2011” at the AGO
includes a photo of seated children listening to a guide talk about the same Group of Seven canvases
I saw sixty years ago. According to this brief article, the AGO’s current school programs connect “students to art and art to your classroom” utilizing resources from the wide-ranging collection.
Like its Canadian peer, Portland Art Museum in Oregon is now
also in possession of vast holdings. PAM is famous for its special
collections of Native American and Northwest art and its permanent exhibitions of Asian art. Despite this specialized wealth,
PAM’s educational philosophy as expressed on the web seems uninspired. Seattle Art Gallery’s educational resources and philosophy
appears to be far more exciting. On the internet, we learn that
unique learning opportunities can be accessed at all three SAM
locations. Among other aims, SAM wants students and teachers “to
develop critical understandings of art and culture”.
Courtesy: Vancouver Art Gallery
School groups are also catered to at Seattle’s Frye Museum
which, since 1952, has operated in the bequeathed Frye mansion
with a 250-piece start-up collection that Wikipedia describes as being full of dark, dramatic, realistic narratives. After recent expansion and the employment of curators who know how to mount
interesting shows, the Frye remains a special place for children to learn through lectures, events and
hands-on experiences.
Kevin Griffin’s February 6, 2009 Vancouver Sun article summarizes the strategy behind this
city’s most bustling art education program in its headline: “Vancouver Art Gallery gets them
young, tells them lots”. This implies that art will catch, inform, then hold their attention forever,
as it has mine.

BRIAN JUNGEN
ART GALLERY OF ALBERTA, EDMONTON AB – Jan 29-May 8, 2011 Brian Jungen, an artist with Swiss
and Dunne-za First Nations ancestry, was born in Fort St. John, BC. In his practice, he uses consumer
items like Nike shoes, lawn chairs and leather couches to construct installations that imitate such
“authentic” First Nations artifacts as masks and tents. His more elaborate conceptual artworks combine video and audio. Jungen’s interest in sports equipment like catchers mitts, baseball bats and basketball jerseys has been motivated, in part, by the sports
world’s appropriation of Aboriginal culture in team names
like the Chiefs, Indians, Redskins and Braves.
Brian Jungen, an exhibition
at the Art Gallery of Alberta,
features three massive structures: Shapeshifter (2000),
Cetology (2002) and Carapace
(2009). White plastic lawn
chairs and green trash bins
have been cut into pieces and
Brian Jungen, Cetology (2002), plastic chairs [Art Gallery of Alberta, Edmonton AB,
reassembled into the shapes of Jan 29-May 8] Collection of the Vancouver Art Gallery
a geodesic dome, a dinosaur
and a turtle. The latter are hung from the ceiling using an overhead installation style typical of natural
history museums. Despite their humble origins, the sculptures manage to overwhelm the spectator
with their scale and compositional complexity.
Jungen lives and works in Vancouver. Since earning a diploma from Emily Carr College of Art and
Design in 1992, he has been invited to participate in more than 100 solo and group exhibitions in such
prestigious locations as the Tate and the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian. He
was the winner of the Sobey Art Award (2002) and the 2010 Gershon Iskowitz Prize. With a practice
that is at once accessible and provocative, Brian Jungen may well be one of the most reviewed artists of
the past decade. Mia Johnson

Practical Art History or
Confessions of a Fine Art Appraiser
Chapter 26. The Case of the Silent Song
Silent Song is a wall mounted, site specific sculpture located in a small chapel in Christ Church Cathedral in Vancouver. The sculpture, commissioned by the Church to coincide with the 2010 Olympic
and Paralympic Winter Games, was blessed and dedicated on February 13, 2010.
A wall-mounted text accompanied the piece and is placed on the chapel wall adjacent to the sculpture
which is approximately 8 x 4 feet in size. The text reads in part: “Silent Song is intended to evoke rememberedorimaginedsoundsandcanbeconsideredametaphorformanydiverseindividualvoicesconjoined
together in musical patterns. The artists have used the retired organ parts of the Casavant & Frere organ
installed in Christ Church cathedral in 1949 which had incorporated pipes from the previous organ. The Casavant organ
served the congregation for 54 years and now 1,700 of its pipes
live on in the new Kenneth Jones tracker action pipe organ
installed in Christ Church cathedral in 2004.”
My involvement began when I was asked by the Church to
appraise the sculpture, as the artists desired to donate the piece
to the Church in return for a tax receipt. I undertook the
assignment cognisant of the fact that standard appraisal protocol would require a methodology based on cost approach,
rather than a cost-comparison approach, for evaluation.
This approach relies on the artist or manufacturer to
supply a statement of cost of labour and materials to
include a reasonable expectation of profit. The number of
hours involved in production and the hourly labour cost is
accepted uncontested, in good faith and no attempt is made
to verify that information. The appraisal is therefore based
on the wholesale price of the sculpture and does not reflect
additional price anomalies associated with a retail environSilent Song sculpture, located in Christ Church
ment. Intangibles associated with artistic merit and those of
Cathedral in Vancouver
site specificity and uniqueness are not taken into consideration, however the commitment of the artist, as evidenced
by previous works and critical peer review in the art world is considered.
For income tax purposes, donations of art assets are known as gifts in kind and are identified as listed personal property, however a donation by an artist of his/her work is considered to be from inventory. Donations can be made to a variety of charitable organizations ranging from those that support
arts and culture, religious activities, the environment and sports and recreation.
Upon receipt of the donation, the receiving institution issues a tax receipt for the appraised fair
market value of the artwork. Usually an artwork with a value below $1000 does not require a written
appraisal as the receiving institution’s in-house staff performs the evaluation. However for items over
$1000, the receiving institution requires a written appraisal by an independent qualified appraiser. The
cost of appraisal is usually paid for by the receiving institution. The difference between the original
purchased price and the appraised value is subject to 50% capital gain.
Charitable donations of artworks of significant cultural property as determined by The Canadian
Cultural Property Export Review Board are not subject to capital gains. However, charities receiving
gifts of cultural property are subject to a penalty tax in certain circumstances if they dispose of the
property within 10 years. The tax receipt is issued for the appraised fair market value.

Heather Passmore: Form Letters
THE NEW GALLERY, CALGARY AB – Mar 18-Apr 23, 2011 The most interesting thing about Vancouver artist Heather Passmore’s practice may be the
rejection letters she has received in response to her
applications to art galleries, granting agencies and artist
residencies. Her Form Letters series (2008-ongoing) is a
body of work using rejection letters, literally, as the
basis for drawing and painting.
Passmore has invited “patrons” of her work to sponsor a piece through a $50 donation. After drawing and
painting around, between and beside the passages of text
in each letter, she prints and distributes copies of the
completed work. Many of the images are decorated with
adorable animals, bucolic landscapes and imaginative
weather conditions reminiscent of the light touch of the
19th-century French artist Honoré Daumier, or the
children’s illustrators Beatrix Potter and Kate Greenaway. Other works – much less comforting and more in
the spirit of feeling rejected – have a dark, urban realism.
Heather Passmore is actually an accomplished artist
who combines painting, drawing and photography with
used materials such as linoleum, mattresses, plywood, and
T-shirts. For the past ten years she has exhibited extensively in solo and group exhibitions across Canada and Heather Passmore, Form Letters 2009 (2010), mixed media
internationally. She earned a BFA from the University of [The New Gallery, Calgary AB, Mar 18-Apr 23]
British Columbia in 2000 and an MFA in 2004. Despite
her rejections, she has had nine solo shows and four two-person exhibits in the past six years, and has been
the recipient of 16 awards, scholarships and grants. Following the Calgary exhibit, she will be in residence in
Iceland during the month of May. Mia Johnson

Glory of Kings: Ethiopian
Christian Art from Oregon Collections
HALLIE FORD MUSEUM OF ART, SALEM OR – Mar 19-Jun 12, 2011 Christianity in Ethiopia emerged
in the fourth-century CE (AD) during the reign of Emperor Ezana, ruler of the ancient Aksumite
kingdom. Located on an trade route running along
the Red Sea between India and the Roman Empire,
the near-east African region of Ethiopia likely
adopted Christianity as a result of trade relationships with merchants of the Roman Empire. After
Ezana’s religious conversion, an Eastern Orthodox
form of Christianity spread. By the 15th century,
the followers had developed a strong tradition of
icon painting.
The provincial sect of Christianity traces its
imperial lines back to the union of King Solomon
and the Queen of Sheeba of Aksum (Axum). The
popular national story, which is often the subject of
religious artwork in the 20th century, credits their
son Menelik with bringing the Ark of the Covenant
to Ethiopia.
Glory of Kings was organized by Willamette University art history professor Ann Nicgorski and A.
Dean McKenzie, professor emeritus of art history at
Double-sided, two-tiered triptych (Saints and Scenes from the the University of Oregon. The exhibit draws from
Life of Christ), Orthodox Christian (20th C.), carved wood and several Oregon collections and presents a range of

objects of faith and ritual practice. Some of the finer

Kristin Bjornerud: New Paintings
GALLERY JONES, VANCOUVER BC – May 5-28, 2011 Kristin Bjornerud creates delicate, fanciful
and introspective images resembling illustrations for children’s books or fables. With titles like Memorial and Sanctuary, her watercolour paintings explore themes of politics, ecology and mythology
through placement of small people and animals on isolated grounds. The expanses of white space surrounding the mythical encounters
between people and animals give the
images a slightly surrealist or dreamlike quality. At the same time, the pictures have a surprisingly strong sense of
period and place that addresses, in particular, moral and ecological concerns
about species protection.
New works include a fresh focus on
more formal compositional devices for
presenting visual narratives. These
works have no specific theme other
Kristin Bjornerud, Sanctuary (2010), watercolour and gouache [Gallery Jones,
than “the lens of folktales, dreams, and
Vancouver BC, May 5-28]
magical realism”, as Bjornerud puts it.
She experiments with placement, scale and groupings as well as the temporal and cinematographic
qualities of her narratives in these slightly more complex scenes.
Originally from Edmonton, Alberta, Kristin Bjornerud earned her MFA at the University of
Saskatchewan (2005), her BFA from the University of Lethbridge (2002), and is the recipient of several grants from the Saskatchewan Arts Board. Her work is included in the collections of the Canada
Council Art Bank, the Saskatchewan Arts Board and Citibank Canada. She currently lives and works
in Hamilton, Ontario. Mia Johnson
works that focus on the undecidable
status of the human, the emphasis is
on the wandering nature of human
subjectivity, expressed not only in the
arbitrary nature of the placement of the
cuts, the multiplication of surfaces, but
also the mobile character of the materials used (objects from flea markets).

Sharon Hayes: In the Near Future
CONTEMPORARY ART GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Apr 8-Jun 5, 2011 New York-based artist Sharon
Hayes works in the areas of performance, video, and installation. The majority of her work utilizes and analyzes public modes of activism, from protest movements to letterwriting. Not an agitator per se, Hayes is interested in the
strategies used by activists and protesters, the ways people
come together in unified fronts at a specific time and place,
and in the sociology of protest signs. As part of her own
strategies, she has organized demonstrations that invite
collaborators to analyze and define their roles, behaviour
and actions.
In her first solo Canadian exhibit, the CAG presents a
multi-dimensional installation entitled In the Near Future
(2005-ongoing). Incorporating 13 slide projectors and 354
images, In the Near Future features photos collected from
audience members over the past four years of Hayes’s
work in different cities in the U.S. and Europe, including
New York, London, Warsaw, and Vienna.
Her work has been shown throughout Europe and the
United States, in Australia, Turkey, Japan and Colombia.

Jamasie Pitseolak: Sculptures, Drawings, Prints
MARION SCOTT GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Apr 9-May 14, 2011 Born in 1968, Jamasie Pitseolak is
the son of Oopik and Mark Pitseolak, both classic Inuit artists from the Cape Dorset area. Although
Jamasie also carves from traditional materials like serpentine and basalt stone, sometimes garnishing
his pieces with details made from bits of antler, bone and copper wire, his work is completely different
in form and content.
The tongue-in-cheek carvings are assembled from small pieces of rock rather than cut from single
blocks, and the subject matter is light-hearted. His
modern-day objects include sewing machines, motorcycles, tanks, cars, tools, golf clubs, electric guitars,
sunglasses, vases filled with flowers and domestic
objects – even a small toilet. Many of their parts are
moveable. While his sassy work is inspired by television, magazines, current events and daily life, it occasionally incorporates Inuit motifs and symbols such as
Sedna on a motorcycle. Other carvings, like a pair of
sneakers riding a skateboard and a set of Minnie
Mouse-like high heels, are whimsical to the extreme.

HOLLY ANDRES: THE FALL OF SPRING HILL Charles A. Hartman Fine
Art, Portland, April 6-May 14 Through lush, large-scale colour images,
Portland photographer Holly Andres draws on her childhood memories as the youngest of ten siblings by using authentic props and thrift
store clothing to recreate a stylized feeling of the era when she came
of age. In The Fall of Spring Hill, Andres recalls heroic acts performed
by mothers striving to protect their children. These attractive images
blend fact and fiction to capture threshold moments of ongoing melodramas, and seem to depict scenes from a larger story.

TOM CRAMER: OREGON LANDMARKS Laura Russo Gallery, Portland,
May 5-28 Known for his meticulously carved, painted and gilded
wood reliefs, Tom Cramer, a native Oregonian, uses iconic locales
throughout the state as subjects for a dual exploration of painting and
woodcarving. Cramer’s paintings are rendered in a pointillist style
brought to life with a brilliant palette. The intricate carvings reveal
nuances of imagery within highly activated surfaces filled with dense
patterning.

SEAN HEALY: UPSTATE Elizabeth Leach Gallery, Portland, April 7-May 28
Through a series of sculptural installations, Sean Healy reflects
upon the history of his hometown, Brasher Falls, located in upstate
New York near the St. Lawrence Seaway on the Canadian border.
Brasher Falls was once the thriving site of several manufacturing
plants – including General Motors and Alcoa aluminum – before
they were down-sized or relocated. Healy sees the transformation
as a metaphor for personal aging and changes in professional identity, and shows how communities can become intertwined with
local industry.
KENTREE SPEIRS: DEPARTURES Blackfish Gallery, Portland, April 5May 1 Kentree Speirs, who creates abstract landscapes as a method
of expressing his deep relationship to the natural world, is inspired by
the raw beauty and drama of untamed wilderness. The Portland
artist spent 16 years immersed in mountaineering and wilderness
backpacking travels before completing a BFA in 2006. He balances
an expressive handling of paint with subtle organic forms that reflect
Alpine environments, and seeks to capture stillness and movement
and the tangible and intangible. His provocative assemblage of rich,
vibrant colours creates a heightened sense of reality.
MITCH DOBROWNER: STORMS Blue Sky Gallery, Portland, April 7-May 1
Inspired by classic photographers like Ansel Adams and Minor
White, Mitch Dobrowner highlights scenes in nature in his dramatic
black-and-white photographs. For Storms, Dobrowner travelled
more than 19,000 miles through fourteen states in pursuit of extreme
weather conditions. The series began while he was shooting thunderstorms across the Great Plains in an area known as Tornado Alley,
and records looming clouds, fiercely beautiful thunderstorms, stark
bolts of lightning, pounding hail and gusting winds.

Laurie Herrick:
Weaving Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
COLLECTION OF CAROL SMITH-LARSON
MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY CRAFT, PORTLAND OR – Mar 17-Jul 30, 2011 The late Portland artist
and master weaver Laurie Herrick (1908-1995) is the subject of a major exhibition that celebrates her
life’s work and highlights weaving as a relevant contemporary
craft and applied art. The exhibit highlights Herrick’s inventive
woven structures in both abstract art pieces and loom-controlled
“wearables”. Studio notes and thread samples provide insight
into her practice.
Interested in the physical motion of weaving, Herrick applied
process-oriented techniques that echo grid-like mathematics.
Her many Op Art designs are precise and immaculate while her
open warp pieces are multi-layered expressionistic artworks.
As a mid-century designer/craftsperson, Herrick worked at
Martha Pollack’s Pasadena design studio in the 1940s before
moving to Portland where she taught at Oregon College of Art
and Craft for more than 20 years. Herrick is known for creating
original textile designs for churches and synagogues in the
region. Most notably, her three-panel Tree of Life tapestry (1970),
which still hangs at the First Unitarian Church of Portland, was
created with a traditional early American weave structure known
as Summer and Winter. The orderly geometric structure produces double-sided designs that are exact opposites in tonality.
Herrick’s neutral – tree on a warm-hued background is meant to
be reversed with the seasons to reveal a warm-hued tree on a Laurie Herrick, Purple Polychrome (1975),

neutral background.
OR,
Mar 17-Jul 30]
The exhibition also includes a series of five artist-in-residencies. Each resident will create a work inspired by Herrick’s design principles. Allyn Cantor

express her feelings and experiences,
past and present beginning with a drawing and then following the creative
process.

ALLYN CANTOR
DEGENERATE ART ENSEMBLE Frye Art Museum, Seattle, through June 19
The internationally recognized Seattle-based Degenerate Art Ensemble (DAE) embarks on its most ambitious interdisciplinary event to date
in their first museum project/art exhibition. Combining elements of
music, dance, narrative, costume, sculpture, props and video projections, the all-sensory inventions of DAE are filled with fantastic scenes.
Exhibit-related events include four site-specific performances of DAE's
latest work, Red Shoes, based on the horrific classic tale of a girl who,
when wearing the red shoes, cannot stop dancing.
WANXIN ZHANG: A TEN YEAR SURVEY Bellevue Arts Museum, Bellevue,
through August 9 Wanxin Zhang’s massive ceramic figures are inspired
by the soldiers of the Qin Terracotta Army – guards of the tomb of the
First Emperor of China unearthed in Xi’an in 1974. His compelling
and witty large scale figurative sculptures reference the ancient culture
of his native China but are blended with certain distinctly Western
attributes. His work draws on the self-portraits of Robert Arneson,
originator of the 1960s California Clay Funk Revolution, and Peter
Voulkos, in whose foundry Zhang worked.
CATHERINE COOK: OBJECT LESSONS Lisa Harris Gallery, Seattle, April
7-May 1 In her sense-stimulating oil paintings, Catherine Cook uses
colour, mood and repetition in subtly sculpted surfaces and layered
washes. Although the images are distilled from photographs, the act
of painting itself determines the final outcome of each piece. Many of
Cook’s works seem to reference the landscape, which is not necessarily the intention of the artist. Cook’s formalist attitude leaves the
interpretation of each piece up to the viewers.
Degenerate Art Ensemble

CAMERON ANNE MASON: SOFT EARTH Foster/White Gallery, Seattle,
April 7-30 Shape and surface are primary elements in the organic
sculptures of Cameron Anne Mason. Building on the culture of our
agrarian past, Mason creates elegant pod-like forms which are handsewn from uniquely dyed, printed and embroidered fabric. In her first
solo show at Foster/White, Mason is exhibiting two bodies of work:
the Blade series, which serves as a metaphor for human interaction
with the natural world, and the Cotyledons series, which examines
growth, fertility and seeds as essential building blocks of culture.

own hands and feet as well as domestic objects, Ellen Garvens's Castings series are eerie documentaries of the process of creating prosthetics. Hand-coloured, multiple-exposure photographs from Kathy
Vargas depict objects of innocence in a mysterious light, continuing
her interest in family and cultural memory. Marsha Burns, a Seattle
veteran, presents silver gelatin prints and new unique archival digital
prints.

Carl Beam
MUSEUM OF ANTHROPOLOGY, VANCOUVER BC – Apr 8-May 29, 2011 Ojibway artist Carl
Beam (1943-2005) is considered to have been an influential force in the development of
contemporary First Nations art in Canada. Beam’s watercolours, etchings, photographs, photo
transfers, installations and ceramics
have a painterly, fluid style that –
like Rauschenberg’s silkscreens of
the early 1960s – combines photo
transfers and posterized imagery
with fragments of stencilled and
handwritten text. The mixedmedia collages on canvas, paper or
plexiglass integrate multiple
photographic images on single
picture planes.
This retrospective exhibition at
Vancouver’s Museum of AnthroCarl Beam, The North American Iceberg (1985), acrylic, photo-serigraph, and
pology includes a selection of more

materials. Charcoal preliminary sketches are juxtaposed with photographs of finished sculptural works from the late 1960s to the late 1980s.

period, and includes illustrated entries by African art scholars, an essay by Ian
Walker and contributions by several additional writers and art historians.

New Carissa oil spill and his evocative pieces of the last decade round out this
thoughtful volume.

SEATTLE ART MUSEUM, SEATTLE WA – Mar 10-Jun 5, 2011 Chicago designer Nick Cave’s innovative artwork is featured in his first major nationally touring museum exhibition, Meet Me at the Center of the
Earth. The sculptural works can be described as something
between static assemblage art and adornment for performance,
while succeeding as both.
Cave dubs his ongoing thematic constructions Soundsuits.
In these labour-intensive costume-like works, Cave sews
ephemera like toys and other found materials inside the inner
structures. Based on the nature of the found objects, the interior
matter resonates with sounds with the movement of the wearer.
In pieces created from dyed human hair, various sounds can be
soft and supple; in others created from objects like toys and buttons, they are louder and more percussive. The wonderful
fusion of fashion, fibre art, and performance is just the surface
of these spirited artworks. Many reference African ceremonial
costumes and masks. A deeper aspect emerges from the design
elements which obscure the wearer’s identity thereby dissolving
racial or ethnic boundaries in a playful and jovial manner.
Nick Cave studied modern dance with Alvin Ailey. Currently he is the chairman of the Fashion Design Department at the
School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Cave, with local art stu- Nick Cave, Soundsuit (2009), human hair, metal
dents and dancers, is planning a series of impromptu site-specific armature [Seattle Art Museum, Seattle WA, Mar

Day event on April 16. These Soundsuit Invasions should prove to be as witty as Cave’s stand-alone
sculptures. Allyn Cantor
