What appear to be densely layered collages of figures, text and patterns are actually impenetrable compositions painted with acrylic on canvases. Completely idiosyncratic, the distinctive imagery highlights a new generation of artists influenced by contemporary mass media. Millar culls his source material from comic books, manga, rock music, video games, television, pop culture and other artwork to create eccentric pieces filled with fragments of text. They have been compared to the frenzied pages of Mad magazine and described as “taking the art of doodling to the extreme” with 000-size paintbrushes. After moving from early comic-book style layouts to panelled pieces, Miller flouts the boundaries of the format in his new work to indicate he is just warming up. Chris Millar was born in Alberta. He completed a Fine Arts Diploma at Grant MacEwan Community College, Edmonton, Alberta (1998), a Bachelor of Fine Arts, Alberta College of Art and Design in Calgary (2000), and an Alberta Biennial New Works residency at the Banff Centre (2005). He was one of 15 semi-finalists in the 2005 RBC Canadian Chris Millar Heads I Made (3) (2006), acrylic on Painting Competition. His work has been shown at the canvas [TrépanierBaer, Calgary AB, Jan 4-26] Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art, Saint Mary's University Gallery, Bau-Xi Gallery, Galerie Sussex Gallery, the Alberta Biennial Of Contemporary Art Exhibition, Walter Phillips Gallery and Edmonton Art Gallery.

From subcultures and street scenes to their pop icons and dreams, the exhibition provides a small glimpse into the world of teens, the life created for them and the life they create for themselves. Over the course of the last century, teen mores and lifestyles have become the dominant focus of popular culture. In recent years, teenagers have become an incredible force within all areas of society and now influence over $200 billion in sales, driving product development, advertising and technological development. 71% of teens have created online profiles on social networking sites that are being plumbed by marketers. Their opinions and preferences are used as a basis for macro-marketing, narrowcasting and strategic partnerships. GENERATION showcases work by influential young artists Daniel Barrow, Dan Colen, Anthony Goicolea, Eliza Griffiths, Justine Kur- Eliza Griffiths, Another Perfect Day (1997), oil on canvas [Art land, Kyla Mallett, Alex Morrison, Jeremy Gallery of Alberta, Edmonton AB, Jan 19-Mar 24] Shaw and Janet Werner. In various media – including narrated animations, conceptual sculptures, photographs merged with social commentary, staged photographs, and paintings exploring sex and gender – the artists explore themes of identityoriented branding. Ironically, the imagery also reveals how technology and marketing cause youth to respond to the comfort and security of marketing values and direction. Mia Johnson of established artists.

Tycho brings his own unique energy to lean images of white snow, black basalt gravel and grey rocks. Painted in a style reminiscent of 1950s abstraction, the minimal works evoke an other-worldly terrain. Tycho studied art at the University of British Columbia in the early 1980s under Gordon Smith, an unabashedly vigorous painter of the Pacific West Coast. Subsequent travels in Japan introduced Tycho to the exquisitely simple painting of Zen monks. Tycho’s current series of approximately 24 paintings was inspired by numerous trips to the Garibaldi Park region, where he found something very powerful and magnetic that he couldn’t explain. With the distinctive eroded mountain top “burned onto [his] subconscious… almost as an archetypal symbol or motif, much the way Mount Fuji is to the Japanese”, Tycho embarked on an extensive journey of integrating the Black Tusk landscape with a personal approach to painting. Tycho’s work has been exhibited in Vancouver, Victoria, Whistler, Edmonton, Seattle, Los Angeles, Geneva, Brussels David Tycho, Black Tusk #12 (2007), acrylic on and Manila, and is collected worldwide. This is his first solo canvas [Petley Jones Gallery, Vancouver BC, Nov show in Vancouver in nine years. The powerful paintings 22-Dec 5] range from three to six feet in size.

This tax credit scheme is philosophically similar to the Bonused Amenities system that contributes to the financial well-being of Vancouver's Contemporary Art Gallery, but is very different in the way that funds are allocated and applied. As with the Contemporary Art Gallery (the subject of this column in the previous issue of Preview: The Gallery Guide), this well-respected craft venue had a significant history prior to its recent move to the DeSoto Project (in the North Park Blocks) located between the Pearl District and the Old Town-Chinatown area of Portland. The various incarnations of the Museum served the crafts community since first opening as the Oregon Ceramic Studio in 1937 with WPA support in the historic Lair Hill area. Portland arts patron and developer, Jim Winkler, was instrumental in realizing a way to greatly improve the Museum's amenities and profile. Winkler knew that the Daisy Kingdom building in the DeSoto Project was eligible for placement on the 1976 National Register of Historic Places, thereby ensuring Federal funding for renovations and up-grading. But, perhaps more importantly, he was certain that the Museum itself would be eligible for funding through the NMTC Program designed to provide The new Museum of Contemporary Craft in Portland financial assistance to a range of non-profit organizations dedicated to revitalizing communities, through planned ownership of condominium units in structures such as the DeSoto Building. By the time the project was ready to open, the Museum was sharing the DeSoto space with Charles Hartman Fine Art, Blue Sky Gallery (photography), Augen Gallery, Froelick Gallery, and other business ventures which had benefited from the NMTC Program. The huge street party on 22 July celebrating the Project's completion, was an enormous success and proved that Winkler's vision for community enhancement, and for concentration of cultural amenities, had happened 'big time'. In its new location, the two-level Museum of Contemporary Craft has a store-front profile on a busy shopping street. The 4,500 square foot space can accommodate a shop, changing exhibits, an interactive educational program, and an expanding permanent collection of Pacific Northwest contemporary craft. How does Vancouver's Bonused Amenities approach compare with the NMTC Program in the U.S.? A non-profit cultural entity such as the Contemporary Art Gallery has the benefit of a rent-free, purpose-built space, for twenty years through a specific contract between the City and a developer, in exchange for granting the developer, for example, the right to build beyond restrictions for a particular zoning. The Gallery will never own the space and must amass an endowment fund to cover the rental costs when the subsidized period has ended. The Portland Museum, on the other hand, received 2.5 million dollars in tax credits as a "cash" infusion intended for payment towards the mortgage registered against their DeSoto space.

He employs the kind of realism that brought Maritime artists Christopher Pratt, Mary Pratt and Alex Colville to international fame. Drawing on the visual vocabulary of American painters Andrew Wyeth and Edward Hopper, the “Atlantic realist” painters became known for their smooth surfaces and quiet graphic content. Dry brush, watercolour or egg tempera are frequently employed in small-scale works. Boland works with oil on panel and drawing media to create remarkably luminous imagery. In his second solo exhibit of magic realist paintings at Victoria’s Winchester Galleries, he applies oblique perspectives and Baroque elements such as diagonals and asymmetry to enhance the simple compositions. Like his contemporaries, he focuses on the play of light and shadow, the glowing and reflective Grant Boland, Winter Oranges (2004), oil on board [Winchester surfaces and fine details like water drops and crin- Galleries, 1010 Broad St, Victoria BC, Nov 29-Dec 24] kled paper folds.

PREVIEW 25 preview www.TAG.bc.ca Leigh Bridges: Hinterland BJORNSON KAJIWARA GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Nov 1-30 Hinterland by Vancouver artist Leigh Bridges is a series of oil and acrylic paintings from 10 inches to 5.5 feet in size inspired by her recent year living in Berlin. Drawing on art historical sources from 19th Century German romantic landscape painting to colour field abstractions, and with the ad hoc subject matter of her contemporary Etienne Zack and the high-key hues of photographer Greg Girard, Bridges carves her own visual territory with oddly littered landscapes and toxic colours. Bridges’ paintings are “nominally representational” in the manner of manipulated Polaroid photos or surrealist dreamscapes. They are psychologically suggestive spaces with titles like Stump, Garbage and Flower, Debris Shelter or Sword, Shield and Arrow, where she plays with camping gear, star formations, ladders, huts, tents and sparse evergreen trees, all silhouetted against dramatic blooming skies. She hints: “Perhaps we are viewing a campsite (park), a children’s tree fort (backyard), or an isolated survivalist home Leigh Bridges, Debris Shelter (2007), oil and acrylic on canvas (wilderness)”, yet the work overall appears to [Bjornson Kajiwara Gallery, Vancouver BC, Nov 1-30] allude to more transcendental experiences. Leigh Bridges graduated from the University of Victoria with a Master’s in Visual Arts (2005) and from the University of Alberta with a B.F.A. (1994). Her paintings have a kind of visual and symbolic logic that is not immediately apparent but extremely tantalizing to decipher.

As a young Japanese American child, Shimomura was detained with his parents during World War II in this barren landscape of sagebrush and dust. He uses his ethnic heritage as a jumping off point to both reflect on the events of the 1940s war years and to promote an awareness of the current state of American international affairs. The Seattle-born artist began dealing with themes of racial intolerance and stereotypes surrounding his Japanese American identity in 1969 after arriving to teach at the University of Kansas. Shimomura applies a graphic/pop treatment to his outlined subjects, using flat planes of colour to fuse the accessibility of comic book style with the provocation of a larger social message. Shimomura's images are distilled from bits of personal memory, passages from his late grandmother's journal, government publications, books, magazines and a general recollection of what comes to mind when he thinks of camp. The hastily-built, uninsulated barracks and desolate landscape set a tone for the monotony of their daily life. Depicting a wide range of people and situations framed by pictures of the bleak structures or "blocks", Shi- Roger Shimomura, Block Dance Break #2 momura captures shadows of young children playing, women (2006), acrylic on canvas [Greg Kucera doing house chores and couples dancing behind barrack walls, Gallery, Seattle WA, Nov 15-Dec 22] all contained within the silhouettes of barbed wire that he uses as a constant reminder of their confinement within the relocation centres.

Sponsored by the Sandbar Restaurant on Granville Island, the show was conceived and developed by students Debbie Westergaard Tuepah and Wendi Copeland at the Emily Carr Institute, with guest curators Sadira Rodrigues and Randy Lee Cutler. Approximately 20 artists are showing work from the fine arts to animation, film, industrial design, communication design, digital media and photography. Pieces by ECI alumni, masters candidates and undergraduate students are featured. As part of The Art of Food exhibition, a student collaborative run by Justin Novak in Ceramics has teamed with The Sandbar Restaurant to create customized utilitarian products. Factory is an experiment in mass-production operating within the Ceramics Department of Emily Carr Institute. The varied artworks reveal the diverse impact of food on our lives and the way it influences our relationships with environment, health, politics, science, beauty, safety and security.

PREVIEW 39 preview On the Beach: Don Coltman (Steffens-Colmer Ltd.), www.artspeak.ca Kristan Horton, Jack Lindsay, Taras Polataiko Kristan Horton and Taras Polataiko with World War II-era photographs from the Vancouver City Archives by Don Coltman and Jack Lindsay. Taking as their theme Nevil Shute’s 1957 novel On the Beach, the exhibit explores notions of catastrophe, unseen ends and the kinds of preparation and duress leading up to an unknown fate. The novel and subsequent 1959 film are set in Australia, where the final remaining global citizens have survived the effects of an atomic war which will soon reach them. The exhibit has a similar apocalyptic atmosphere of impending doom. Jack Lindsay’s photos of World War II invasion drills once held in Kitsilano are in stark contrast with Don Coltman’s images of leisure activities on the same Vancouver beaches. A banner by Kristan Horton, a Toronto-based artist, entitled Repeating HalfFrame, takes the form and language of comic books to present text that appears to terminate before final revelation. Taras Polataiko, a Vancouver based artist born in Jack Lindsay, Troops landing at Kitsilano Beach during war games Chernivtsi, Ukraine, explores similar ideas exercises, photo circa 1942 [Artspeak, Vancouver BC, Oct 20-Nov 24] of political history and memory in his photograph 100 Days to Demobilization. Based on the artist's army experience, where he witnessed soldiers writing the number of service days left in the butter spread on their breakfast bread, the work reflects an unseen end. Kristan Horton studied at Guelph University and the Ontario College of Art and Design. His work has been shown internationally, including at Glassbox (Paris), ZKM (Karlsruhe), Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art (Helsinki), and Inter Communications Center (Tokyo). Taras Polataiko studied at Stroganov Museum of Fine and Industrial Arts, Moscow and the University of Saskatchewan, and has exhibited widely, including at the Musée d’Art Contemporain de Montréal, the 25th Sao Paulo Bienale, Soros International Centre for Contemporary Art in Kiev, Warsaw’s Centre for Contemporary Art, the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, and Lombard-Freid Fine Arts, New York.

The adopted son of Luke Anguhadluq (18951982) and Marion Tuu’luq (1910-2002), Anguhalluq builds on traditions pioneered by his artist parents, but his work differs significantly in its treatment of subject matter and perspective by employing unique combinations of pictorial and orthographic views. Following the success of his sold-out show at Marion Scott last spring, the new exhibition showcases both pencil crayon drawings on paper and Anguhalluq’s idiosyncratic stone sculptural pieces. His images feature contemporary Inuit people using modern fishing rods and nets, motorized boats, skidoos and rifles as they live, work and hunt on the rocky terrain and unforgiving waters of the far north. Bird’s eye views, abstractly patterned land formations, skewed silhouettes and overlapping perspectives give his work a startling edge not often found in either western or Inuit art. Solid masses of colour and distinctive contour lines recall Japanese woodblock prints, while the top to bottom readings are reminiscent of scroll-like Persian miniatures. Anguhalluq has drawings in the collection of the Art Gallery of Ontario (in the Sarick Inuit Art Collection) Tony Anguhalluq, Two inuit are drying caribou meat and four of his drawings were recently selected for inclu(2007), pencil crayon on paper [Marion Scott Gallery, sion in the 13th Biennial of Naive and Marginal Art in Vancouver BC, Dec 1-Jan 6] Serbia, October 2007. In the spring of 2006, he was one of four artists featured in Landscape: Contemporary Inuit Drawings, the Marion Scott Gallery’s groundbreaking exhibition devoted to northern landscape art.

The PULP curatorial team of Megan Dickie, Ross Macaulay and Rebecca Michaels asked artists Kelly Jazvac from Toronto, Michael Doerksen from Montreal and James Carl from Guelph to reinterpret paper in a way that would emphasize its objecthood as a humble everyday material, and the results are ingenuous. Emerging artist Kelly Jazvac uses paper to exaggerate social fascinations and foibles. Two sculptures in this exhibit, entitled DeLorean and Part of the Enterprise, are enlarged versions of paper patterns she downloaded from www.papertoys.com From the ultimate in rainy-day activities to her DeLorean installation of 514 laminated, laser-printed sheets laid out on the gallery floor, Jazvac transformed what was intended to be a small, handheld construction whimsy to a commentary on the car’s failure. Michael Doerksen uses scaled and recoloured paper craft models to invoke a theatrically sculptural context, and James Carl will be showing a wood-grain wall- Kelly Jazvac, DeLorean, installation of printed and laminated paper [Open Space, Victoria BC, Dec 8-15 paper originally intended for installation at Open and Jan 8-18] Space in 2003. Public events in conjunction with PULP include a paper construction room, possibly made from paper itself, where the public can cut out and assemble downloadable paper constructions; a limited edition catalogue with a hand-made cover and paper pop-ups; commemorative paper objects created by each artist; and a weekend workshop on paper-craft, book works and paper sculpture.

History is more that what is found in the pages of a book and should have a significant presence in our lives. An artwork offers more than a visual experience. It can offer a connection to different philosophies and provide interpretations of past events and cultural values. Most importantly, an investigation of history can link us to artists and other people of different Emily Carr, untitled still life (circa 1890-1893) places and eras. The analytical study of material properties and the use of solutions, magnifiers, and tiny swabs, comprise only a portion of the array of tools available to the conservator. Whether specializing in minute particles, paintings, or large buildings, the conservator's investigation of an object can lead to a discovery of geographical and cultural references. A knowledge of history enables one to view a piece from the aesthetical standards of its time of origin and to perhaps further understand the impetus underlying a certain style or period of art. The treatment approach to conservation problems extends well beyond a technophile's equipment, to the inherent value of an object. The question asked is: "How does this artist, or artwork, fit within the spectrum of history?" These three images illustrate different phases of Emily Carr's evolving approach to painting. The still life piece was painted between 1890 and 1893 while she was studying art in San Francisco. She described the traditional training offered at the school as uninspiring. The second image, Totem Poles, Kitseukla, from 1912, Emily Carr, Totem Poles, Kitseukla (1912) shows a more expressive use of vivid colour which reflects Carr’s exposure to the Impressionist and Fauvist movements during the six years she spent in England and France. A later work, Quiet, circa 1942, shows further development of her painting techniques, use of colour, and adoption of simplified forms and rhythmic movement. During this latter period, Emily Carr was inspired by the Group of Seven received encouragement from Lawren Harris in her search to refine her interpretation of the spirit and wild landscape of British Columbia. By incorporating the value of history, and searching beyond an individual work, we may discover the particular evolution of an artist's creative endeavours. Close proximity to a painting offers the conservator a unique vantage point for examination of an artist's approach to the process of painting through deciphering how brushstrokes are laid and how the composition emerged. The conservator, as art historian, endeavours to combine such an intimate view of an artwork with a study of history to achieve a skillful balance with the results of technological decisions made under the scope of preservation. Consider adding the following titles to your reading list: Seeing Through Paintings by Andrea Kirsh and Rustin S. Levenson, Unsettling Encounters: First Nations Imagery and the Art of Emily Carr, by Gerta Moray, Emily Carr: New Perspectives on a Canadian Icon, by Hill, Lamoureux, and Thom.

The Case of A. Y. Jackson’s Smart River (Alaska) Some years ago, I was researching a serigraph a client had purchased for $5 at a 1946 fundraising event in the interior of B.C. The 19.50 x 26.25 inch serigraph (silkscreen or screen print) was of A.Y. Jackson's oil on board painting, Smart River (Alaska). Jackson had contributed the 10.5 x 13.5 oil painting (based on his earlier pencil sketch) to the Federation of Canadian Artists for a silkscreen series the Federation produced between late 1945 and 1948 with the Toronto printing firm, Sampson-Matthews Jackson's pencil sketches date back to the war years when he travelled the Alaska Highway on a second expedition sponsored by the National Gallery of Canada, and facilitated by the U.S. Army. Such expeditions were an attempt by the Federal Government to offer support to the United States for their war effort, and for the U.S. Army's Alaska Highway construction project.. My client's serigraph is listed on page 10 of a 1948 publication issued by the Department of External Affairs entitled Federation of Canadian Artists Series, Catalogue of Canadian Colour A.Y. Jackson, Smart River (Alaska), circa 1940-1945, Reproductions. An image of the oil painting serigraph (silkscreen or screen print) illustrated the magazine article, “Sketching the Alaska Highway,” in the February/March 1944 edition of Canadian Art. And, an image of the original sketch was reproduced on page 187 in Naomi Jackson Groves' study of Jackson's sketches in A.Y.'s Canada. Further research revealed that in May of 1990, a Canadian auction house listed a "tempera" painting (20 x 26.50 inches) by A.Y. Jackson with the title Smart River, Alaska Highway 1940. The listing stated that a "coloured serigraph (silkscreen print), also based on this subject, was produced by Sampson-Matthews". This piece sold for $12,000 even though the pre-sale estimate was set at $20,000-$25,000. As far as I know, tempera is not a common medium in the serigraph process because of inherent problems with water solubility and pigment size relative to screen mesh size. A recognizable characteristic of the process is the loss of fine detail as the paint required to develop detail sometimes get trapped in the fine screen mesh and does not pass through onto the paper. A knowledgeable collector of Canadian art suggested to me that the ‘tempera’ painting was a ‘mock-up’ painted to serve as the template for production of the silkscreen images, but this would be unusual given that images are drawn or transferred directly onto the screen. The image printed in the auction catalogue appears to be exactly the same as my client’s serigraph. Both have the identical characteristic loss of fine detail in exactly the same locations. On a further note, another serigraph of this Jackson work was sold at a 2004 Vancouver auction for approximately $1,100. When considering an art purchase, it is important to undertake a thorough investigation to ensure that there are no discrepancies in the information presented by the auction house. There is an obligation on the part of the seller to exercise due diligence, but the onus falls on the buyer to seek satisfactory verification prior to making a purchase commitment. Caveat emptor - let the buyer beware.

Yahgulanaas, who has become well-known for what he describes as “haida manga” art, combines found objects with his own brand of graphics. Like the trickster he emulates, he is halfplayful but very serious. After spending much of the 1980s and 90s dedicated to public service and political activism in the Haida Gwaii, Yahgulanaas is using his idiosyncratic art to challenge the institutionalization of Northwest Coast First Nations culture. For Pedal to the Meddle he mounted Bill Reid's 1985 canoe upside down on the roof of a Pontiac Firefly, which he covered in a mixture of black paint and argillite dust.

The show provides an eye-opening look at how Western civilization influenced Japanese aesthetics during early interactions between the countries, starting with the arrival of Spanish and Portuguese missionaries and traders in the 1540s. Paintings, prints, maps, screens, textiles, lacquerware, ceramics and metalwork are part of this major exhibit, which includes the first map of Japan published in Europe, entitled Depiction of the Island of Japan (1595) by Portuguese illustrator Luis Teixeira. Part way through the exhibit, all of the works on paper, including the prints and maps, will change over. Spanning three centuries, a period known as sakoku or “closed country” (1639-1853) is highlighted. During this time, Japan only allowed Dutch and Chinese traders to the port of Nagasaki. European motifs were synthesized to fruitfully enrich Japanese style in the decorative arts. Two Ladies Looking through a Telescope, a woodblock print by Katsushika Hokusai from the series “Fanciful Presentation of Seven Useless Habits”, which depicts a young woman looking through a telescope, a western invention, symbolizes the Japanese desire for a larger world view.

Originally shot by Japanese photographer Kohei Yoshiyuki in Tokyo’s Shinjuku, Yoyogi and Aoyama parks during the 1970s, the images blatantly depict the sexual exploits of their subjects, both homosexual and heterosexual, and provoke questions about western attitudes towards surveillance and voyeurism. The Tokyo-born artist originally used a 35mm camera, infrared film and flash to capture the strange scenes. They have been described as “a brilliant piece of social documentation” and “an act of art, evidence, soft core porn and social anthropology”. The predatory and animalistic appearance of the voyeurs in most images is more striking than the sexual acts. The graininess of the images recalls cinéma vérité and 50’s period pornography. The pictures were first shown life-size in a dark gallery in Tokyo in 1979. The artist provided flashlights for viewing the pictures to con- Kohei Yoshiyuki, [plate 31], from the series The Park, Untitled jure voyeuristic sensations.

Copies have now been acquired by such prestigious institutions as the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Museum of Contemporary Photography, Chicago; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; and the San Francisco Museum of Fine Art.

PREVIEW 73 preview Robert A. Nelson: The Undiscovered Territory www.beppugallery.com BEPPU WIARDA GALLERY, PORTLAND OR – Nov 1-30 The provocative work of Robert A. Nelson is featured in The Undiscovered Territory, a new exhibition of drawings done in mixed-media and coloured pencil. This prolific yet under-recognized American artist has been the subject of over 150 solo exhibits during his lengthy career. The fantastical imagery of his current exhibit is a reflection of specific aspects from myths, fairy tales and other curious histories. Nelson's detailed illustrative style encourages a considerable degree of believability despite the fact that his unmasked characters are engaged in very surreal scenarios. From allegorical creatures like the Tin Woodman from the Land of Oz, who appears in multiple pieces, to such legendary figures as George A. Custer, Harry Houdini and Frankenstein, he defines intricate imagined happenings that hint at deeper psychological states. These bizarre glimpses into dissonant narratives have the tone of medieval fables, although they are tempered by Nelson's plausible renditions. As he states, "No art fancier should ever have to completely give up the warmth of remembered child like Robert A. Nelson,The Tin Woodman Barters Double A Quail Eggs for a Weeks Mail (2007), colored visions." Images like the mouse pulling a thorn from a pencil/mixed media [Beppu Wiarda Gallery, Portland lion's paw resonate in our collective consciousness. OR, Nov 1-30] Nelson's work is in many prominent collections, including the Smithsonian Institute, the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Seattle Art Museum. In 1961, he was awarded the Cézanne Medal from the City of Provence by the government of France.

PREVIEW 75 preview www.chambersgallery.org Lost & Found: New Photo-Based Works by Heidi Kirkpatrick CHAMBERS, PORTLAND, OR – Dec 6-Jan 19 The photographic images of Portland artist Heidi Kirkpatrick are generally figurative. She uses the female form to convey societal pressures toward the objectification of women and the complexities of the feminine allure. Her new photographic work is object-based and increasingly in a mixed media format. Kirkpatrick is securing transparent photographs to such found objects as wooden toy blocks and a set of mahjong tiles. The works tell a fragmented narrative that she infuses with the nostalgia and memory of the object's history. She confines sections of the body to small surfaces in order to create a playful tension between pictorial two-dimensional spaces and tangible threedimensional materials. Similarly, her light box Heidi Kirkpatrick, Kneeling in Red (2007), photograph on found object [Chambers, Portland OR, Dec 6-Jan 19] pieces and other box works have a sense of containment that is heighten by her focus on certain portions of the body, like hands and torsos. Kirkpatrick frames her subjects tightly against the deep stark grounds of her black and white photos, which makes the anatomy more iconic and less specific. Other pieces use MRIs and X-rays of Kirkpatrick layered on the pages of vintage books to express the distress and pain of personal physical traumas. In her “Lost Art” series, she set a transparent outstretched arm atop markings that include penmanship, shorthand and typewriter markings, which feel like tattoos on the surface of skin. Her cyanotypes of miniature Barbie Doll clothing represent unrealistic notions about women fitting the mold of a perfect specimen.

Her fleshy and disquieting sculptures are remarkably realistic, strangely familiar and in turn disquieting. Piccinini’s human and animal forms and their potential for manipulation raise questions about genetic mutations resulting from recent developments involving cloning, the human genome and stem cell research. Representing ambivalent hybrids, Piccinini’s sculptures – made from materials like silicone, acrylic resin, fur and human hair – are hyperrealistic and sometimes grotesque, with a likeness that warrants both admiration and apprehension. In an age of extraordinary biotechnical advancements, distinctions between natural and artificial life become obscured. While some species are becoming endangered, reproductive science commodifies other life forms. Piccinini’s work brings moral concerns to the forefront and reminds us of ethical issues that must be addressed along with biological experimentation. Her message clearly points to the consequences of assuming control over life’s basic building blocks. Not so far from the truth, her images of xenotransplantation and bioengineered creatures articu- Patricia Paccinini, Bodyguard (for the Golden Helmeted late a fearful yet hopeful statement about how ordi- Honeyeater) [detail] (2004), silicone, fur, acrylic resin, nary existence is undergoing change and how the timber, DVD and monitor [Frye Art Gallery, Seattle WA, boundaries of conscience are intertwined with indus- Sep 22-Jan 6] try choices.
