Timeland: 2010 Alberta Biennial of Contemporary Art
ART GALLERY OF ALBERTA, EDMONTON AB – May 29-Aug 29, 2010 Artists: Paul Bernhardt, Ken
Buera, David Cantine, The Cedar Tavern Singers (AKA Les Phonoréalistes), Jason de Haan, The Einstein's Brain Project, Robert Geyer, Kristin Ivey, Kristopher Lindskoog, Wednesday Lupypciw, Walter
May, Rita McKeough, Chris Millar, David M.C. Miller Ron Moppett, Lyndal Osborne, Scott Rogers,
Danny Singer, Justin Waddell, John Will, Chris Willard, Clint Wilson.
A cross-generational mix of 25 artists, both emerging and established, was selected from 200 applicants for Timeland. Installed in the beautiful new Art Gallery of Alberta, the show
examines the first ten years of the 21st
century, and spans the spectrum of contemporary art styles and themes. Curator
Richard Rhodes, the editor of Canadian
Art and founder of C Magazine, views this
time as “a period where the achievements
and securities of established modernism
are challenged by the new globalism”
with “an expanded consciousness of
world views, histories and cultures”.
Timeland serves as a conceptual guide
to the diversity of art in Alberta today. The
Alberta landscape, “where space can be
measured in geological, durational and Rita McKeough, Wilderment (2010), mixed media installation [Art Gallery of
cultural timeframes,” plays a strong role Alberta, Edmonton AB, May 29-Aug 29]
in many pieces. Many works acknowledge the realities of the 21st century “one-world” planet, where climate change, ecological issues and
a global economic reversal of fortunes have contributed to a new ethos of uncertainty and humility for
the western world.
The biennial exhibition occupies 6,000 square feet of the third floor gallery space. Artworks
include paintings, prints, sculptures, photography and textiles as well as film, music, video, performance and installations. Mia Johnson
abstract painter, includes canvases
borrowed from public and private collections; Catherine Ross, “Stella

up of 750 starfish, each individually

CROCKER ART MUSEUM, E. B. CROCKER COLLECTION 1871.217
A Pioneering Collection: Master Drawings
from the Crocker Art Museum
PORTLAND ART MUSEUM, PORTLAND OR – Jun 12-Sep 19, 2010 This rare group of masterworks
from the 15th-19th centuries was selected from one of the most exceptional early collections of
European drawings in the United States. The Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento, California holds
approximately 1,400 master drawings representing stunning examples from major European schools, including
works by Albrecht Dürer, Fra Bartolommeo, Peter Paul
Rubens, Jean-Honoré Fragonard, François Boucher and
Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres.
Founded in 1885 by the Crocker family, the Crocker
Art Museum is the oldest continuously operating museum
west of the Mississippi. Edwin B. Crocker and his wife
Margaret were forward-thinking art patrons committed to
bringing sophisticated masterpieces to the new state of
California. Most of the core collection was acquired during
the Crockers' 1869-1871 European sojourn.
The 57 works on paper in the exhibition are among the
highlights of the Crocker Art Museum's impressive holdings, which have remained largely unknown outside of
scholarly circles. The exhibit includes many keystones of
art history, like Dürer's Female Nude with a Staff, drawn in
1498 soon after his return from Italy. Another notable
work is Studies of Human Bones by Jan Steven van Calcar,
Gérard de Lairesse, Expulsion of Hagar (n.d.), pen who illustrated Andreas Vesalius’ work in some of the first
and reddish-brown ink, brush and grey washes on
anatomical texts ever published. Roelandt Saverij's Dodo

includes a dedicated works-on-paper study centre and gallery. Allyn Cantor

Border Zones: New Art Across Cultures
PHOTO: KEN MAYER
MUSEUM OF ANTHROPOLOGY, VANCOUVER BC – Jan 23-Sep 12, 2010 Border Zones: New Art Across
Cultures brings together the work of 12 contemporary artists: Laura Wee Láy Láq, Hayati Mokhtar,
Tania Mouraud, Marianne Nicolson, Edward Poitras, Rosanna Raymond, Dain-Iskandar Said,
Thamotharampillai Shanaathanan, Prabakar Visvanath, John Wynne, Gu Xiong and Ron Yunkaporta. Through their artwork, these artists examine the idea of borders: “not only as lines that divide,
but also as spaces of encounter and
exchange, protection and exclusion,
migration and memory”. The notion
of borders encompasses geographic
and political borders as well as racial,
religious, ethnic, language and other
cultural boundaries subjected to
what aboriginal artist Dana Claxton
calls “the anthro/entho gaze”.
The exhibited artworks include,
fittingly, a plethora of installations:

ers, a four-channel video installation,
an installation of projected images, an installation of 2,000 small white plastic boats, an installation of
glass boxes with etched and photographic images, a sound and photographic installation for 12 channels of audio diffusion, and more.
Border Zones has an online component with articles on the artists, installation views, video interviews, reviews and a blog. Over the course of the exhibition, the site seeks to become an archive of
ideas about borders: in particular, “how new spaces of thought and meaning are created and contested at the boundaries of knowledge, language, art, culture, and politics”.

When Arts funds are threatened, screaming won’t help
Earlier this year, the Penticton Art Gallery installed their Legacies 2010 art exhibition which overlapped with the Cultural Olympiad of the 2010 Winter Olympics. According to Director Paul
Crawford, the mandate of the non-juried exhibit was three-fold: the environment, the cost of the
Olympics, and B.C.’s cuts to arts funding. He admitted that even
though it was not always clear which issues were being tackled, the messages were well received even in their Conservative riding led by M.P. Stockwell Day.
My favourite submission was a set of postcards by
octogenarian Pam Chambers called The Arts Are Not a Frill!
in which she cuts, quite literally, to the chase. Two of the
postcards contain images that liken slashes in funding to
butchering. A ballerina screams as she dances despite a
severed leg and a pianist attempts arpeggios with finger tips
spurting blood. The artist stands in front of a dark landscape
which cannot be brightened as he is unable to buy a tube of
cadmium yellow.
A similar tactic for jolting the minds of bureaucrats and the
public was perhaps in response to the thoughtless remark by
Prime Minister Harper, that “ordinary folks don’t care about Pam Chambers, The Arts Are Not a Frill!
the arts” and Premier Campbell’s 40% cut to the B.C. Arts (2010), ink on card, in Legacies 2010 at
Council. This tactic, in the form of a circular issued by CAR- Penticton Art Gallery, Jan 22-Mar 14, 2010
FAC BC, suggested that artists send the Arts Council a replica
of a work with 40% of it missing as the on-going letter-writing campaign seemed to have no effect
on the determination to make ‘arts and culture’ the imminent source of belt-tightening for the
next three years.
The enormous amount spent on the Olympics, the Sea to Sky Highway and the Canada Line
transit system has led also to devastating shortfalls in areas of health and education and of social and
community services for a population about to be hit with the
Harmonized Sales Tax. Dozens of protests have taken place
at the Vancouver Art Gallery and such well-orchestrated
public events along with e-mail initiatives, social-networking
and petitions are worthwhile in that they draw attention to
the cause even if tangible results are few.
Portland’s ten-year-old arts enterprise, Disjecta, may
offer some ideas as to how a non-profit arts organization
can become more stable and achieve autonomy in these trying times. According to founding director Bryan Suereth,
the
aim was always to become self-supporting and the first
Crystal Schenk, Have and Have Not (2006),
major move in that direction was to relocate away from
shown at Disjecta for the Portland 2010 Biennial
downtown to a less expensive property in the historic and
(Mar 13-May 30, 2010)
energetic Newton neighbourhood.
The refurbished former hydraulic shop now contains artists’ studios, a large exhibition and
rehearsal space, and in the near future a café bar will be added. In co-operation with other galleries,
Disjecta staged the highly successful 2010 Portland Biennial which showcased fresh works by the
up-coming artists they are committed to support. One such piece was Crystal Schenk’s shopping
cart walled with ornate stained glass in-fill and ironically titled, Have and Have Not. The accomplishments of Disjecta are reminiscent of the savvy way Vancouver’s Western Front Lodge has continued for more than three decades, to present avant-garde programs and exhibitions.
It seems to me that our mothers had the right idea when they advised us “to stand on our
own two feet.”

WHATCOM MUSEUM, BELLINGHAM WA – Apr 24-Aug 8, 2010 Show of Hands surveys over a century
of artwork by women from Oregon, Washington and British Columbia. It includes some poignant
examples from the history and heritage of the Northwest, and demonstrates the depth of artistic ingenuity
among these women. Concentrating on artists who have
contributed with distinction to the Northwest School,
curator Barbara Matilsky has assembled work by 63
artists with a large range of styles, subjects, and media.
The selection provides a complex visual overview of the
artistic accomplishments of women in this region.
Key figures in the lineage of the Northwest art world
are Emily Carr, Maude Kerns, Mary Henry and Lucinda
Parker. Their artwork is represented in this show alongside pieces by lesser known women whose work has
nearly been forgotten.
Margie Livingston and Victoria Haven created sitespecific wall paintings for this exhibit. A large space
focuses on their biomorphic and geometric abstractions.
Representational and narrative works by artists like Fay
Jones and Claire Cowie communicate personal, social,
historical and environmental issues while others, like
Marie Watt and Louise Crow, have been influenced by

pieces like Imogen Cunningham’s Dream Walking
(1968). This photographic image shows a woman blending into nature. Contemporary artists like Sherry Markovitz and Diem Chau use craft-based techniques and materials for their sculptures. The landscape genre is also well represented. Abby Williams Hill travelled to the Canadian Rockies where she
painted Lake Louise (1926) and Harriet Foster Beecher captured scenes of the region as it appeared in
the late 1800s. Allyn Cantor

Bridge City: Links for a Fragile Peninsula, 1895 -1980
TECK GALLERY, SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY, VANCOUVER BC – Mar 15-Jun 25, 2010
PHOTO: OTTO LANDAUER
These images of local bridge construction reveal the universal gracefulness and ‘dynamic form’ of steel
and concrete in the service of making new transportation links.
The city of Vancouver and its surrounding municipalities and cities were once a series of disconnected villages. The waterways separating the various regions are linked today by numerous bridges. The
concept of “Greater Vancouver” depends to a great extent on their construction. Photographs by
Leonard Frank and Otto Landauer document
local bridge erection and capture both the
difficulties and the triumphs.
The photos for the exhibit were selected
from the Leonard Frank Photos Studio
Collection of the Jewish Museum & Archives
of British Columbia, which includes 39,000
photographic images taken between 1880
and 1983. The studio was founded by
Leonard and Bernard Frank and later purchased by Otto F. Landauer. The years 1946
to 1971 in particular were a heyday for Modernist influence on Vancouver’s architecture
and transportation infrastructure. These
three decades witnessed the virtual rebuildHigh-steel men working on the Port Mann Bridge above the Fraser

Fox, Fluevog & Friends: The story behind the shoes
MUSEUM OF VANCOUVER, VANCOUVER BC – May 14-Sep 26, 2010 John Fluevog and Peter Fox
are well-known and well-loved names in the fashion industry. The first to import Dr. Martens
shoes into North America, Fox and Fluevog formed a partnership in 1970 to design and sell stylish shoes. Fox, Fluevog & Friends surveys the designers’ formative years in Gastown in the 1970s
to John Fluevog’s independent work today. Approximately 150 pairs of shoes dating from 1968 to
2000 are featured along with photographs, catalogues,
newspaper articles, sketches and client comments.
Fluevog’s avant-garde designs, many using orthopaedic
air-filled soles and styled with swirly, colourful patterns,
have included platform shoes, Angel boots, ultra-pointytoed Euro styles and handmade wooden clogs (the latter
was the handiwork of their collaborator Ken Rice).
Inspired by Art Deco and often with messages engraved in
the soles – such as “Resists alkali, water, acid, fatigue and
Satan” – the unique styles coupled with Fluevog’s skill at
branding have earned him a cult-like following. Fluevog
today has stores in Vancouver, Seattle, San Francisco, Los
Angeles, Chicago, Montreal, Toronto, Boston and New
York and wholesales shoes to 60 resellers in the U.S. and
Canada.
In the early 1980s, Fox went on to set up four successful shops in New York, where he specialized in silk-andsatin Louis-heeled shoes. His exquisite illustrations and
advertisements feature gorgeous Renaissance-like designs Peter Fox, Stained Glass Effect Platform Boots

Tributaries: Reflections of Aiko Suzuki
JAPANESE CANADIAN NATIONAL MUSEUM, BURNABY BC – Jun 30-Aug 28, 2010 Tributaries: Reflections of Aiko Suzuki is a memorial to artworks created by Toronto artist Aiko Suzuki between 19672005, before her untimely death from cancer. Suzuki used materials like branches, yarn, bamboo,
copper wire, aluminum screening, wood dowels, steel, Plexiglass and water to create dramatic textile installations, abstract paintings, monoprints and video installations. Her heavy curtain-like
installations of fibre, some mounted in two-storey spaces, are particularly spectacular.
The memorial exhibition includes original pieces by her as well as installations by three women
inspired by Suzuki: writer Joy Kogawa, music composer Ann Southam and visual artist Grace
Channer. In collaboration with filmmaker Midi Onodera, they have created a piano piece, a video
poem and an animation that variously pay
tribute to Suzuki and complement her work.
Key pieces from Suzuki’s legacy include
important early fibre works known for their
enormous scale and sculptural qualities, as
well as several monoprints, paintings and a
powerful charcoal triptych. Lyra Refrain is a
smaller version of the monumental Lyra,
which hung in the Metro Toronto Reference
Library between 1981-2004.
Tributaries is the first retrospective exhibit of Aiko Suzuki's work in Western Canada.
She was born in Vancouver in 1937 and Aiko Suzuki, Lyra Refrain (1984), seven pieces, fibre and wood

Burnaby BC, Jun 30-Aug 28]
Aiko founded the not-for-profit Gendai
Gallery at the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre in Toronto. As a powerful feminist, leader and
educator, for 25 years she was a mentor to many artists, and was involved in arts education with
countless students throughout Toronto. She received numerous awards for her contributions, and
in 2005 was elected to membership in the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts. Mia Johnson

Kathryn Altus: Some Seas
LISA HARRIS GALLERY, SEATTLE WA – Jun 3-28, 2010 In her new exhibition, Some Seas, Seattle-
based painter Kathryn Altus presents scenes of coastal waters from the Pacific Northwest, Asia and
the Middle East. The theme allows ‘water’ to act as a continuum
across time and distance, and to unify such remote places as the
Dead Sea and the Columbia River. Although Altus paints specific sites, she states, “...my wish is to transcend place and to
address the interrelationship of nature and civilization”.
Her most ambitious piece, Big Pacific, is a large-scale
work in five panels of graduating sizes. The painting depicts
the span of ocean from the Washington coastline to Hong
Kong. The panorama recalls a journey and the vastness she
suggests is very alluring. Altus' soft-focus painting style and
gentle palette is reminiscent of artwork done in pastels. It
lends a dreamlike mood to her compositions and further connects subjects from different locales.
Sometimes Altus uses copper leaf in her oil paintings,
which adds depth and luminosity to the surfaces. The quiet
transitions she achieves between form and ground are built
up over time with multiple glazes. She gives as much attention to the open spaces as she does to the landscape
forms. The subdued tone of her work and ability to reduce the
Kathryn Altus, Tanker Traffic (2010), waterlandscape to subtle gradations of colour and form evoke a solbased oil on canvas [Lisa Harris Gallery,

Andrew Owen (A01): As It Is: And/Or/Neither/Nor
MARION SCOTT GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – May 22-Jul 4, 2010 A pioneer of Toronto’s street art
scene in the early 1980s, Andrew Owen is a conceptual artist known as A01. As It Is:
And/Or/Neither/Nor, a retrospective exhibition and his first solo show in a Vancouver gallery,
brings together more than 20 works,
including paintings, photo-based works
and pieces made from repurposed materials.
Among the most popular of the Montreal-born artist’s works are poster hoardings from the Downtown Eastside called
Excavations, which he peels to reveal
numerous patterns and areas of text.
Inspired by David Hockney’s large photo
assemblages, his Re-photo-cubic Portrait
Tableaux incorporate photographs from a
multitude of locations, perspectives and
timeframes in new collages featuring street Andrew Owen, Photo-cubic Stoop Punks: Portrait Tableau,112 individually
people, residents, construction workers, framed laser & sub-dye prints on paper (2009-2010 ) [Marion Scott Gallery,
street signs and weathered surfaces. A new Vancouver BC, May 22-Jul 4]
collection of spray-painted flowers, Impressions, is quickly gaining acclaim for its raw edge and strong graphic appeal. Using real flowers as
natural stencils, Owen sprays paint onto canvas to create actual-scale images of the plants.
Owen was a commercial artist before living and studying in India, Korea, Japan and Taiwan in
the 1990s. He returned to Canada in 2004 where he lives and works in both Vancouver and
Toronto. Mia Johnson

Verne Harrison: Circa 1978
JACANA CONTEMPORARY ART, VANCOUVER BC – Jun 16-Jul 11, 2010 In Circa 1978, Verne Harri-
son presents a series of giclée prints enlarged from Polaroids he took while working in the Alberta oil
fields. Interspersed with a few glorious shots of landscape and skies, his pictures of small-town Canada
are populated with small-town people wearing late-70s clothes and hairdos. The original snapshots were
each digitally printed 18 x 22 inches for the show. While the
pictures create a portrayal of workers during the oil boom,
they also capture in a nostalgic way – to a great extent due to
the post-apocalyptic lighting and colours of the Polaroid
medium – the sensibilities of the 70s in all its funkiness.
Verne Harrison was born in Sarnia, Ontario in 1955. He
completed his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at the University
of Western Ontario in 1985 after studying Fine Art at Fanshawe College in London, Ontario. He continues to live and
work in Guelph, Ontario.
Harrison, who uses a wide variety of media, has been
exhibiting since 1982 in a variety of galleries. From self-portraits to public sculpture, he has an ironic style with a strong
cultural bias and sense of humour. His work is in several
public and private collections in Canada and the United
States. In recent years he has exhibited in Shakespeare Made
in Canada: Finding the Bard in Contemporary Portraiture Verne Harrison, #7 Dan, giclée on Oce photo paper,
(2007), at the Macdonald Stewart Art Centre (2006), and in edition of 1 (1978) [Jacana Contemporary Art,
Transactions: 11 Artists from Canada at the Chongqing Art Vancouver BC, Jun 16-Jul 11]
Museum, China (2008). Currently he is the gallery co-ordinator at the Macdonald Stewart Art Centre where he has been employed since 1992. Mia Johnson

Sudden Frost
ELISSA CRISTALL GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – July 2-Aug 14, 2010 For the third consecutive summer,
Elissa Cristall Gallery is presenting an independently-curated exhibition. Toronto-based educator
Pete Smith, who is also an artist with Elissa Cristall, earned his 2007 Master of Fine Arts at the University of Guelph. For this year’s exhibit, he has chosen the work of eight Ontario artists. Sudden
Frost includes drawings, paintings, printmaking, sculpture and video by Michel Daigneault, Sky
Glabush, Will Gorlitz and Patrick Mahon.
Michel Daigneault is a visual arts professor at York University who paints abstractions of organic shapes contrasted with architectural
planes. His work is represented in many
public collections including the National
Gallery of Canada, Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal, Musée National des
Beaux-Arts du Québec, Joliette Museum
and the Canada Council Art Bank. Sky
Glabush has a Masters of Fine Arts from
the University of Alberta (2006) and now
teaches at the University of Western
Ontario. He is known for his quiet paintings of suburban houses in the region.
Will Gorlitz is a Professor of Studio
Art at the University of Guelph. His
Will Gorlitz, Peking (2008), oil on canvas [Elissa Cristall Gallery, Vancouver unusual oil on canvas paintings of animals
BC, Jul 2-Aug 14]
and the wilderness are semi-narrative and
have been described as “strong and sensual”. Patrick Mahon, also at Western, has a two-fold interest
in topologies and patterning, which he has explored through paintings, printing on Plexiglass and
massive site works. His artwork has been exhibited in China and nationally at Museum London, the
Art Gallery of Windsor, the Southern Alberta Art Gallery and the Kamloops Art Gallery. Mia Johnson

Practical Art History or
Confessions of a Fine Art Appraiser
BY JIM FINLAY
FINLAY FINE ART
WEALTH MANAGEMENT

Chapter 22. The Case of the Coy Cornelius Krieghoff
In 2006, my client purchased a painting entitled Trapper Returning at Sunset at an auction
house, as a work “attributed to Cornelius Krieghoff”. The auction house may have, without due
diligence, offered the work as an “attributed to” to avoid any liability. The same painting appears to
have been sold some thirty years earlier by Sotheby Parke-Bernet (Canada) Ltd. as a signed work
by Cornelius Krieghoff, meaning that in the best judgement of the listing auction house, it was a
work by Krieghoff. About ten years ago, what appears to have been the same painting was sold at
Joyner Waddington's Canadian Fine Art and was listed in their catalogue as a Krieghoff.
Most fine art auction houses publish interpretations, under their terms and conditions, as to
what is meant by such terms as: attributed to, studio of, circle of, and state that they are “provided
for your guidance”. The opinion offered by an auction house is based on their judgement and is not
always accurate, however, the public perception still remains that if the auction house declares that
a painting is “in our best judgement” a genuine work, then indeed it must be so.
The term “best judgement” is used by major auction
houses to declare that a painting is by the named artist,
and is the most precise determination of authorship the
auction house can offer. This interpretation encourages a
premise that the purchaser, when selling the painting,
can offer as a declaration of a level of genuineness, the
fact that he purchased the work from an auction house
contingent upon how it was described in the catalogue.
It is not unreasonable to assume that this perception
perpetuates a culture of accepted practice in the marketplace as a means of encouraging commerce. The converse
is also perceived as being true, in that if the auction house
declares a painting to be “attributed to”, then it is indeed
of lesser quality and therefore commands less value than
a work by the named artist.
The term “attributed to” has different meanings
when used by different art auction houses. Heffel Fine
Art Auction House uses the term to describe a work as Cornelius Krieghoff, Trapper Returning at Sunset
1
“executed in whole or in part by the named artist”. (c. 1860), oil on canvas, 11 x 9 ⁄4 inches
Presumably this means the work may be partly or
completely painted by the artist. This is a precise definition meant to include works that may
have undergone undetermined restoration or conservation over the years (presumably as the
result of damage or deterioration) by someone other than the artist. It obviously does not give
any indication as to how much of the painting is or is not by the named artist. Therefore, this
single category appears to include both indicators of authorship.
Sotheby’s takes a more art historical stylistic approach by using the phrase “in our opinion, on
the basis of style, the work can be ascribed to the named artist”. This term suggests precision and
unambiguity. It confidently defers to the fact that it is an opinion, however it alludes to the fact that
a stylistic investigation has been made and a reasonably credible conclusion reached. In other
words, there is a more certain indication that due diligence has been performed.
Fortunately, my client’s Krieghoff has recently been verified by the recognized authority on
Cornelius Krieghoff as being by the named artist, and dating from about 1860.

Conservator’s Corner

A Relocation Project
I saw the butterfly as a powerful symbol of the natural and spiritual will to survive through change and
transformation.—JACK SHADBOLT (1909-1998)
The way we look at art is significantly influenced by
the environment it is presented in. A painter’s brush
moves across the surface of a canvas; or a tool translates the imagination of a sculptor. Once completed, an
artwork’s existence may include its relocation to various places. The aesthetics of a location as well as activities in the area can influence an artwork’s meaning and
value. For example, an emblematic painting or sculpture may be infused with added poignancy or drama if
displayed in a church or a theatre.
The relocation of Jack Shadbolt’s Primavera is
presently underway. In 1987, in collaboration with
Alan Wood and Greg Bullen, this commissioned art
project was originally installed onto the concrete mezzanine wall of the MacMillan Bloedel building in downtown Vancouver, B.C. Primavera, a sizeable painted
wood sculptural image depicting two butterflies flanking a central chrysalis, has been a dynamic fixture of
the architectural cityscape.
Primavera has been sold and is designated to join
the art collection of the Okanagan Valley winery, Tanta- Jack Shadbolt, Primavera (1987), detail
lus Vineyard. In preparation for its move, my conservation treatment of this unique three-dimensional artwork has just been completed with the
cleaning and removal of twenty-three years of dust and grime. Repairs included the carving of
a broken and missing portion of the central chrysalis. Conservation treatment recovered the
brilliant colour, compositional
movement, and exuberant imagery.
A professional company will be
installing Primavera at its new location. The display of an artwork is not
merely a matter of hammering a nail
into a wall or shifting the piece
for the perfect position. Preparations
for this installation included acquiring information relative to the winery’s events, ongoing operations, and
other environmental considerations
A preliminary winery visit was
necessary to assess the facility’s
structural characteristics and various
display options. The visual impact of
this vibrant artwork demands a
Artwork in its original location in the lobby of the MacMillan Bloedel building
conscientious selection for its location, which will assure the artwork’s successful integration with the environment of the winery.
The relocation of Shadbolt’s creation from a bustling urban location to a pastoral and intimate setting will offer viewers a different visual and spiritual experience.

uses layers of resin to create transparent coloured forms suspended in space. In his latest series,
Time-Variable Volumes, the Blackfish Gallery co-founder has injected clear glass shapes with motor
oil and transmission fluid. The pieces are fashioned from transparent plastics, electronic mechanisms, coloured oil and various
structural and supportive metal finishings.
Controlled by timers, the sculptures are set in motion by small
direct-current motors that cause the
liquid to move at a slow pace. The
pieces move up, down or in circular
movements for a period of time and
then become stationary. The fluid
material gently continues its fluctuation until levelled by gravity. The
action suggests the movement of
water and many other cyclic processes that occur in the natural world. Stephan Soihl, Time-Variable Volumes, view 1 (2010), Plexiglass, oil, brass,
Although these works recall an wood, motor, electronics [Blackfish Gallery, Portland OR, Jun 1-26]
experiment in chemistry or physics –
as if the sculptures are meant to measure volumetric qualities or capacity for movement of various
fluid substances – there is a refined aesthetic principle in the fundamental behaviour of solid and liquid elements. They softly interact like a familiar continuum.
Soihl's calculated forms are clean and elegant. They speak simply of the symbiotic relationships
of shape, material, and motion. The kinetic pieces feel light and rhythmic, and evoke a quiet contemplative space on the cusp where science meets poetry. Allyn Cantor

Will Rafuse and Tim Fraser
IAN TAN GALLERY, VANCOUVER, BC – Jul 10-29, 2010 Two realist artists are being featured at Ian Tan
Gallery in July. Will Rafuse graduated from Capilano College and began selling his illustrations
through Canadian Art Prints before turning to painting. His signature style is recognizable from
movies and television shows. A slightly wonky, hand-built look and his content – cute European
restaurants and comical waiters – have recently evolved
into a more slick and polished advertising style. Once
inspired by the highly-mannered work of Modigliani and
Botero, he is currently influenced by Edward Hopper and
Andy Warhol.
Cats and dogs wearing shirts and dresses have made
way for paintings depicting neon signs from such Vancouver landmarks as the Dairy Queen, The Only Sea Foods
restaurant on Hastings, and Seattle's Elephant Super Car
Wash, as well as still lifes of fast food items. Neon signs,
popular in the 50s and 60s, today are all but vanished
landmarks of an era that elicits nostalgia. With his current
interest in strong colour and cultural icons, neon signs are
an attractive new subject. Rafuse is currently living and
painting in Montreal, Quebec,
Tim Fraser is a member of the Federation of Canadian Artists and a Fine Arts graduate of Surrey’s Kwantlen
Will Rafuse, Boots by Dayton (2010), oil on canvas
College with a background in commercial art. He has
[Ian Tan Gallery, Vancouver BC, Jul 10-29]

John Dann: Painted Shapes
PERA ART GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – May 6-Jun 18, 2010 Montreal-born John Dann is an American sculptor who recently moved to Canada and divides his time between Vancouver and New
Brunswick. In earlier work, he created bronze portraits of some of Canada’s most prominent citizens, including Wilder Penfield, John Diefenbaker, Glenn Gould, John A. MacDonald and Lester
Pearson, as well as interactive, tactile installations. Since moving to Vancouver last year after 25
years in Massachusetts, he has created new work described as “bold, yet whimsical and joyous”.
Dann’s sculptures, painted shapes and paintings on board and canvas share a mentality both
loose and totemic. He appears to be mainly concerned with exploring modernist questions of
weight and gravity, picture-planes and foreground/background using both two and three-dimensional approaches. For his latest series, Painted Shapes, he designed strangely organic shapes on the
computer then had them cut from large sheets of aluminum. Using a palette of unearthly colours,
deeply saturated in tone, he painted the cut-outs with areas of colour.
Dann’s biography reveals that he has been experimenting with form and figure for 35 years and
is mostly self-taught. He
spent some time at the
Montreal Museum School
of Fine Arts and at the
Accademia delle Belle Arti
di Carrara, Italy, then travelled and worked in a number of Italian foundries with
bronze and marble. In 2005
John Dann, Dragon, alkyd on wood (2005) [Pera Art Gallery, Vancouver BC, May 6-Jun 18]
he began painting and
using colour in his work. In
keeping with his belief that art should be non-exclusive and democratic in nature, the Pera Gallery
show includes a piece that can be walked on. Mia Johnson

Arline Fisch: Creatures from the Deep
BELLEVUE ARTS MUSEUM, BELLEVUE WA – Jun 22-Oct 11, 2010 Arline Fisch is known for her pio-
PHOTO: WILLIAM GULLETTE
neering use of textile techniques to create sculptural jewellery and metal body adornment. During
her career, Fisch has integrated the weaving, knitting, crocheting and braiding of silver and copper wire into unique
jewellery pieces. This is the first time Fisch has applied her
methods to larger-scaled sculptures.
Creatures from the Deep was commissioned by the Racine
Art Museum in Wisconsin and originally shown as an aquarium-like installation in several windows before travelling to
the Bellevue Arts Museum. The project challenged the artist
to bring the intimacy of wearable pieces into a grand allencompassing scale. An ensemble of jellyfish families are suspended from the ceiling while groupings of sea anemone and
coral formations rest below. The larger-than-life sea creatures
in the lively undersea environment are crocheted or knit from
Fisch’s signature colour-coated small gauge wire. Delicate
streaming forms of varying species float in space, suggesting
an ephemeral quality of underwater life.
Arline Fisch had a long and distinguished career as a Professor of Art at San Diego State University, where she founded
the jewellery program in the department of Applied Art in the
Arline Fisch, Orthocannas (2008), coated copper 1960s. She is a perennial figure in the metals community and
has influenced the development of many contemporary jewwire [Bellevue Arts Museum, Bellevue WA,
ellery artists. Her work has been exhibited internationally and
Jun 22-Oct 11] Collection of the artist
is included in many prominent collections such as the Victoria
& Albert Museum in London, the Vatican Museum in Rome and the Smithsonian American Art
Museum in Washington, DC. She is the author of the book, Textile Techniques in Metal: for Jewelers,

Exhibition Catalogues of Interest
VISCERAL BODIES, is a beautiful volume of colour photos from the recent Vancouver Art Gallery’s Visceral Bodies exhibition curated by Daina Augaitis. During
the Cultural Olympiad, Visceral Bodies showcased artworks featuring portrayals
of the human body created during the last 20 years. The body is portrayed as an
evolving symbol, socially and culturally charged. Accompanied by a foreword
and curatorial essay, the book provides full-page pictures of works in the show
alongside one-page biographies on each artist.
64 pages, softcover, $27.95 CDN. Available from the Gallery Store at the Vancouver Art
Gallery. 604-662-4706, [email protected]
SURREAL. REAL. IDEAL: THE ART OF JOICE M. HALL is a full-colour catalogue
produced by the Kelowna Art Gallery for Hall’s 2010 retrospective exhibit. A
series of essays by curator Patricia Ainslie traces Hall’s accomplishments biographically and stylistically for over 40 years, and describes how the concepts of
‘surreal’, ‘real’ and ‘ideal’ have driven her hyper-realist painting. Interspersed
throughout the chapters are colour images of Hall’s artwork. From beginning to
end, the book is a major piece of research and writing by Ainslie, former Glenbow Museum Vice-President of Collections.
96 pages, softcover, $15 CDN. Available through www.abcartbookscanada.com
LEONARDO DA VINCI: THE MECHANICS OF MAN by Martin Clayton and Ron
Philo was published by Royal Collection Publications in association with the Vancouver Art Gallery for the gallery’s earlier 2010 exhibit. The large softcover catalogue reproduces the entire manuscript of anatomical drawings created by da
Vinci during the winter of 1510-1511, when he was 58. The original 18 loose
sheets, known as the Anatomical Manuscript A, are crammed with 240 drawings
and dense notes on the structural, mechanical anatomy of the human body. The
large reproductions show his scientific depictions in exquisite detail.
160 pages, softcover, $26.95 CDN. Available from the Gallery Store at the Vancouver Art
Gallery. 604-662-4706, [email protected]
SHOW OF HANDS: NORTHWEST WOMEN ARTISTS 1880-2010 was published by the Whatcom Museum in Bellingham to accompany the exhibition on

artists from Oregon, Washington and BC from 1880 to the present. The catalogue includes an insightful essay by curator Barbara Matilsky that explains
themes and trends in the exhibition, with history and background on the artists.
Thirty colour examples illustrate the myriad of styles, media and subject matter
explored by Northwest women artists.

Japanese Prints: Tradition & Influence
CULLOM GALLERY, SEATTLE WA – Jun 3-26, 2010 Cullom Gallery inaugurates its new gallery space in Seattle’s Nihonmachi (Japantown) district
with an exhibit that shows traditional Japanese prints from the 19th and
20th centuries alongside prints by contemporary artists who have been
strongly influenced by the styles and techniques of traditional Japanese
printmaking. The exhibit explores thematic and stylistic relationships
between the two.
Annie Bissett practices a traditional Japanese-style of printmaking
developed in the days of ukiyo-e prints. Unlike Western printmaking,
which usually employs a press and oil-based ink, these woodblock
prints are created by hand-carving a separate block for each colour and
design. The reverse side of fine Japanese papers are rubbed against the
blocks with a baren (a disc-shaped tool), using water-based pigment to
transfer the print.
In a recent suite of 20 prints, Bissett imagined the mindset of American Pilgrims aboard the Mayflower. A print depicting the suicide of
Dorothy Bradford, wife of Pilgrim leader William Bradford, is paired
with a Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839-1892) print, Moon of Pure Snow at
Asano River (1885), which captures the tragic suicide of Chikako, who
sacrificed her life to draw attention to her father’s imprisonment.
Another pair of work points to similarities between the landscapes
of Berlin-based contemporary artist Eva Pietzcker and Hiroshi Yoshida
(1876-1950). Both artists gathered inspiration from far-reaching travels
and interpret the landscape with lightness. Their gentle layers of watercolour capture the essence of mist, sunlight, shadow and open spaces.

Kerry James Marshall
VANCOUVER ART GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – May 8-Jan 3, 2011 Kerry James Marshall is a
prominent American artist well-known for portrayals of African-American people that are both
affectionate and political. Graphic layers of overpainting, text and symbols lend a decorative element to the works, which combine acrylic, collage, and glitter on fibreglass and PVC, or on canvasses often more than 10-feet wide.
Born in Birmingham, Alabama, Marshall grew up in South Central Los Angeles and now lives
in Chicago. He earned his BFA at the Otis
Art Institute, Los Angeles and for many
years taught at the School of Art and
Design at the University of Illinois, Chicago. Formative years living in Watts,
observing the Black Power and Civil Rights
movements, led to the development of his
signature style of narrative paintings featuring black figures. Using themes of
domestic life, urban environments and
popular culture, he confronts racial stereotypes by positioning his figures in settings
that emphasize historic injustices and
racism.

19 pieces Marshall has created since the

1990s. Paintings of public housing are covered with graffiti-like gestures that seem to negate the governments’ efforts. Souvenir paintings
from the late 90s, dedicated to the American Civil Rights Movement, are overlaid with
silkscreened images of Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr. and John and Bobby Kennedy.
Vignettes are idyllic images of couples set in 18th century-like pastoral scenes – settings from
which black people were clearly missing at the time. Mia Johnson
