PREVIEW 9 www.portlandartmuseum.org PORTLAND ART MUSEUM, PORTLAND OR – Sep 21, 2013-Jan 12, 2014 This third edition of the biennial exhibition that recognizes artistic merit in the greater Northwest region began with over 200 nominees chosen by regional art professionals. The field was pared down to 28 semi-finalists based on their dedication, innovation and continuity of practice and on their work’s quality and relevance to community or global issues. From there, six finalists were selected and awarded with a place in this prominent museum show. Artwork by Karl Burkheimer of Oregon, Isaac Layman, Nicholas Nyland and Trimpin of Washington, Anne Appleby of Montana and Abbie Miller of Wyoming make up this exhibit. Anne Appleby’s internationally exhibited colour field paintings reference landscape elements through careful chromatic choices and layering upon layering of oil and wax. Often assembled into multi-panel pieces, her resonant paintings are soothingly minimalist with complicated colour relationships that give voice to her underlying source of inspiration. Isaac Layman has become well known in recent years for his large-scale photo-constructions of domestic subjects such as a sink or medicine chest. His compositions are somewhat eerie in their sharp detail Anne Appleby, Water Birch (2012), oil and wax on canvas [Portland Art Museum, Portland OR, Sep 21-Jan 12] and underlying allusion to emptiness and loneliness. Karl Burkheimer uses wood primarily as an expressive material. His crafted works are both architectural and sculptural, creating a weighty psychological tension in the way they inhabit space. Abbie Miller’s work is also material based. She uses yards of sewn vinyl and zippers to create large-scale biomorphic sculptures that have a glossy, surreal flavour. Nicholas Nyland’s work also has surreal tendencies, his vibrant painting and sculptures conjuring a highly personal aesthetic. With his music-based installations, Trimpin innovates with sculpture, sound and engineering elements. In this show, his bright red, modified and interactive grand piano hanging from a tripod is his latest spectacle.

VIGNETTES • Nov/Dec/Jan 2013/2014 Alberta ROBIN LAuRENCE THE INTELLECTION OF LADY SPIDER HOUSE Art Gallery of Alberta, Edmonton, Sep 14-Jan 12 Playing with the theme of a house of horrors, Vancouver-based, internationally renowned artist Geoffrey Farmer invited 11 other artists, including Brian Jungen, Judy Radul and Ron Tran, to collaborate with him in creating an imaginatively spooky and sometimes downright scary series of interwoven art works that occupy the AGA’s entire third floor. “I wanted to make an exhibition that was atmospheric at its core,” Farmer says. Expect encompassing darkness, secret passages, bloody body parts, ghostly apparitions – and references to local history. MONIKA SOSNOWSKA Southern Alberta Art Gallery, Lethbridge, Sep 24Nov 28 Polish artist Monika Sosnowska is acclaimed for large-scale architectural installations that explore the way the built environment can be invested with political, religious and economic ideologies. On view here is a series of painted steel sculptures that suggest workaday architectural forms such as stairways, stalls and tiered seating. Each, however, is twisted, bent or collapsed – rendered at once both abstract and obsolete. Her references are to a stadium in Warsaw, converted to a huge marketplace after the collapse of communism, but then demolished and replaced with a new stadium in time to co-host the 2012 European Football Championship. ANGAKKUQ: BETWEEN TWO WORLDS Art Gallery of Alberta, Edmonton, Oct 26-Feb 16 This powerful exhibition – subtitled “Spiritual and Mythological Figures in Inuit and Inuvialuit Art” – surveys work by over 50 artists from 22 northern communities across the Canadian Arctic. Produced between 1960 and 2009, the sculptures, prints, drawings, ceramics and textile works demonstrate the persistence of traditional belief systems, especially in depictions of shamanic transformation, supernatural beings and spirit figures. Images of extraordinary transformation predominate in art loaned to the exhibition from a dedicated group of private collectors. WILLIAM DUMA Wallace Galleries, Calgary, Nov 16-27 This respected senior artist works primarily as a landscape painter, but his sensibilities are also informed by his pastimes as a fly fisherman and jazz musician. The influence of the Group of Seven is also noticeable in Duma’s depictions of the southern Alberta countryside in fall and winter, seasons when he is most entranced with the natural world’s qualities of light, colour and form. Geoffrey Farmer / The Intellection Monika Sosnowska Pitaloosie Saila William Duma LAUREN WALKER: MILK & HONEY Herringer Kiss Gallery, Calgary, Jan 11-Feb 1 This Calgary painter was strongly influenced by fibre arts during her childhood on the Atlantic coast. She draws many of her lively colours, patterns and forms from quilting and other textile traditions, as well as from the natural world. Walker’s recent paintings and collages explore the idea of the bed as a place of “ritual and routine, dreams and nightmares, love and loneliness.” Where we sleep, she says, is a place of both vulnerability and creativity. Lauren Walker www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 11 www.artgallerycalgary.org The Kingston Prize ART GALLERY OF CALGARY – Nov 1, 2013-Jan 25, 2014 The Kingston Prize has been Canada’s foremost portrait competition since its inception in 2005. Each year the exhibit showcases the talents of 30 outstanding Canadian artists in a series of portraits that reveal the richness and diversity of painting and drawing across the country. In addition to the prestige, more than $24,000 in prize money encourages artists to participate in the touring exhibition. The 2013 winner is Richard Davis for his luminous self-portrait as viewed from behind, titled Basement Self Portrait. An exquisite and moving image, it is painted with oil over tempera emulsion on panel with a delicate hand and the absolute, sure mastery of a brilliant painter. Davis was previously with the Atelier Gallery in Vancouver before moving to Nova Scotia. He currently exhibits in Toronto at the Odon Wagner Gallery and in New York at Gerold Wunderlich & Co. In 2011, Davis was inducted into the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts. The majority of pieces short-listed for the 2013 prize are drawn or painted in high realism or photorealist styles. An outstanding painting and the People’s Choice Award went to Jessie Babin for his stunning graphite portrait entitled Valmont. The three BC artists selected were Jay Senetchko, Elizabeth Topham and Nelly Kazenbroot.

In 2007, she created a series of images entitled Fallen Princesses. She employed Snow White, Rapunzel, Red Riding Hood and similar characters from children’s fables, as well as Pocahontas, Ariel and Belle from Disney movies, to comment on contemporary issues of poverty, obesity, cancer and pollution. The staged photographs received global attention for her critical commentary on the Disney world, and raised questions about the lives women are expected to lead compared with the actual lives they experience. In 2011, Goldstein created In the Dollhouse, a series of scenes depicting the marriage of Barbie and Ken falling apart. Using a small crew of Dina Goldstein, Bedroom (2012), pigment on archival paper [Kimoto Gallery, friends and helpers, the Vancouver Vancouver BC, Oct 29-Nov 15] photographer painted rooms Barbiepink and filled them with life-sized replicas of Barbie furniture.

He is well known for his bromoil photographs of antique toys and dolls. These inkgelatin images are individually printed by hand using brushes and sponges. His more recent work introduces flower heads, stems and leaves. Both the plants and the old toys admirably suit his style with their slightly outof-focus, monochromatic and antediluvian appearance. His floral- and plant-based imagery is created in cyanotype. Using four- by five- inch negatives, he prints the photos on wood panels of the same size and shape as the photos, and then assembles the separate pieces. The underlying grain of the wood comes through, and the edges of the wood act as grids where the tonal value and lighting change unevenly. The saturated, other-worldly blues give his James Holroyd, Lisianthus 1 (2013), cyanotype on panel [Newzones work a haunting, ethereal appearance. Holroyd has a master’s degree in English Gallery, Calgary AB, Nov 28-Jan 11] literature and teaches in the Artstream program, a joint project of Bow Valley College and the Alberta College of Art and Design.

Many never returned, and those who did were profoundly altered by their experiences – as were the people who remained at home and those who relocated to internment camps in the Nelson area. This exhibition, featuring historic photographs, news clippings and artifacts, examines the changes war has wrought on the community. BABAK GOLKAR: DIALECTIC OF FAILURE West Vancouver Museum, West Vancouver, Oct 11-Dec 7 Vancouver artist Babak Golkar uses the humble medium of clay to explore oppositions of historicism and modernity, art and craft, modern reasoning and ancient mysticism. His three-part exhibition includes organic-looking clay pots designed for visitors to pick up and scream into; a video projection of lumps of clay being thrown against a sheet of drywall; and that same stained sheet of drywall, together with bent, folded and flattened lumps of clay in their fired state. REALITEIT Jennifer Kostuik Gallery, Vancouver, Oct 17-Nov 15 In conjunction with the Capture Photography Festival, this exhibition of gallery artists reveals how subjective “reality” is. Dianne Bos uses a multi-holed camera to create images of faux galaxies; David Burdeny employs a large-format camera and long exposure times in the realization of compellingly detailed, almost surreal landscapes; Jim Kazanjian employs “hyper collage” to produce fantastical, sci-fi-like scenes; and Catherine Nelson digitally “paints” hundreds of photographic images together in her re-imaginings of the natural world. JAYCE SALLOUM: LOCATION/DIS-LOCATION(S) grunt gallery, Vancouver, Oct 25-Nov 30 This photographic installation continues Jayce Salloum’s critical engagement with natural and constructed environments. Shot during the artist’s recent travels, the images feature ideological signs or signifiers and evoke a shifting sense of what is familiar and what is foreign. Ranging from piles of driftwood to abandoned furniture, smokestacks, spiders and potholes in a gravel road, Salloum’s photos also show us the places where nature butts up against culture, and vice versa. EMMA MCLAY: RECLAIMANT Xchanges Gallery, Victoria, Nov 1-24 At once tough and fragile, opaque and transparent, Emma McLay’s new, wall-mounted assemblages explore “a woman’s reproductive journey through the medical system.” McLay uses a combination of acrylic paint, metal, wood, glass and fibre to express a range of physical and emotional experiences, ultimately focusing, she says, “on female identity being asserted and empowered through the maternal journey.” This Pender Island artist earned an MFA in painting at the University of Alberta. Her new work evolved from her much-lauded graduating project. 22 PREVIEW ■ NOVEMBER/DECEMBER/JANUARY 2013-14 Bond Appeal, c 1942 / Nelson at War Babak Golkar Catherine Nelson / Realiteit Jayce Salloum Emma McLay Vignettes • November/December/January 2013/14 British Columbia THIS IS WHERE I GO: A MAIL ART EXHIBITION Britannia Art Gallery, Vancouver, Nov 6-29 Mail art, or correspondence art, first gained wide attention in the 1960s and ’70s. This exhibition demonstrates the widely inclusive and international nature of the movement. Curator and artist Laura Bucci invited participants (via online mail portals) to contribute four- by six-inch original postcards on a “This is Where I Go” theme, and she received over 100 submissions from both adults and children in more than 25 countries. KEITH RICE-JONES: WORKING THE EDGE Art Gallery at Evergreen Cultural Centre, Coquitlam, Nov 14-Jan 9 This senior West Coast artist, who originally trained as a woodwork teacher in England, began working in clay in the early 1970s. Influenced by the modernist ideals of incorporating art and design, Rice-Jones has produced a range of works in the ceramic medium, from dishes, bowls and platters to wall-mounted relief sculptures, floor murals and large-scale public commissions. This retrospective exhibition demonstrates the length and breadth of his creative journey, and the natural rhythms and philosophical questions that have informed his art. VOLUMES: WORKS IN PAPER Burnaby Art Gallery, Burnaby, Nov 29Jan 19 The established and emerging artists in this exhibition make ambitious use of paper as a structural medium rather than simply as a ground for graphic art production. The works on view include installation, large-scale printmaking, paper cuts and sculpture. Included are Teresa Ilene Redden’s intricately patterned paper cube, Myra Edie’s photo-etchings of gloves and stockings mounted on pressboard, and Maggie Boyd’s marriage of the drawing medium with ceramics. CLASH: CONFLICT AND ITS CONSEQUENCES The Reach Gallery, Abbotsford, Jan 23-Mar 30 This powerful travelling exhibition explores the many ways the camera registers human conflict. Photographs range from Sam Tata’s documents of the fall of Shanghai in 1949 and Michael Mitchell’s records of the struggle between the Sandinistas and the Contras in Nicaragua in the 1980s to Larry Towell’s close-up observations of the Second Palestinian Intifada in 2000 and Jin-me Yoon’s performance photos on the theme of the enduring impact of the Korean War. Whether derived from the documentary tradition or from fictional recreations of conflict, the images in Clash remind us of the relationship of photography to memory and to the ways history is told.

PREVIEW 25 GALLERY VIEWS BY ROBIN LAURENCE The Robert Bateman Centre A recent daytrip to Victoria, where I lived many years ago, reminded me of the extreme picturesqueness of the city’s Inner Harbour. Clearly, other visitors to the place needed no such memory tweaking. Throngs of tourists made their way from the southern edge of downtown, passing the vine-covered Empress Hotel, the totem poles outside the Royal BC Museum, and the beautifully groomed lawns and gardens of the provincial legislature. They made their way past vendors selling jewellery, basketry and small carvings, too, and others hawking sightseeing bus tours, horsedrawn carriage rides and whale-watching expeditions. The size and determination of the crowds astonished me. Smartly positioned on the waterfront – and along this well-trodden path – is the Robert Bateman Centre. Located at 470 Belleville Street in a handsomely renovated heritage building, the centre opened last May on its featured artist’s 83rd birthday. If there had been any doubts about the local popularity of this internationally known wildlife artist, they were dispelled by the 3,000 people who visited the place on its opening weekend. The Robert Bateman Centre offers the largest-ever showing of the Salt Spring Island artist’s works: some 160 paintings, drawings and reproductions are on view in eight distinctly themed galleries, complemented by multimedia and interactive digital components. Installed on the top floor of the 1924 neo- The Robert Bateman Centre, located in a 1924 neoclassical building on the classical building, which was originally waterfront in Victoria, displays the largest exhibit of original works by the designed as a steamship terminal by Fran- popular wildlife artist cis Rattenbury and P.L. James, the centre chronicles Bateman’s long career, highlights his achievements and emphasizes his devotion to educating adults and children about the importance of our relationship with the natural world. Among the works on view: wildlife paintings Bateman produced as a youth in Toronto, when he was already a devotee of nature and its creatures; depictions of rural subjects, such as old barns in snowy fields, influenced by the American realist painter Andrew Wyeth; and surprisingly abstract works in the manner of the New York School. More familiar are the paintings devoted to African subjects, including the intensely observed and highly detailed images of elephants, lions, tigers, leopards, cheetahs and other great beasts that launched Bateman’s career as a wildlife artist. A gallery devoted to paintings of birds expresses his enduring fondness for these feathered creatures. Visitors to this gallery will also hear birdsong recorded by Salt Spring Islanders John and Heather Neville. Mammals in the human-altered landscape and creatures endangered by over-fishing, oil spills, resource exploitation and global climate change are also represented here. When the centre opened, Bateman told the CBC that he hoped it would both “guard his legacy and advance his environmental message.” The centre’s admission revenues are intended to fund the Bateman Foundation, a national, not-for-profit charity that supports educational programs promoting an understanding of the natural world and, again, highlighting the importance of our relationship with it. 26 PREVIEW ■ NOVEMBER/DECEMBER/JANUARY 2013-14 ★ OPEN LATE ON FIRST THURSDAYS BOB SUTHERLAND +1 604-986-5542 FORT LANGLEY GRAND FORKS Barbara Boldt Original Art Studio Gallery 2, Grand Forks and District Art and Heritage Centre 25340 84th Ave 604-888-5490 www.barbaraboldt.com please call ahead; watch for "Open" sign at road.

The show was curated by Rosemary Heather, the former editor of C magazine (2003-2009). Many of the pieces use iteration, fractals and other kinds of repetition. Views of the artworks on the walls are enhanced by coloured Plexiglas panels hung throughout the gallery space, which add depth to the exhibition as a whole. The panels were created by Rodney LaTourelle, who is known for expanding the aesthetics of colour field painting into room-sized installations. The work of six artists from Canada, Germany and Denmark is featured: Shannon Bool, Simone Gilges, Bernhard Kahrmann, Sanaz Mazinani, Kristine Roepstorff and Emmy Skensved.

PREVIEW 31 Conservator’s Corner BY REBECCA PAVITT www.fineartconserve.com The Use of Fixatives in the Treatment of Embellished Textiles Textiles can be decorated and embellished in countless ways. Something many of these embellishments have in common is sensitivity to water. They include water-soluble dyes, threads that were insufficiently rinsed after dyeing and can therefore stain adjoining threads and fabric, degraded silks, metallic threads wrapped around paper cores, gelatin or cellulose nitrate sequins, easily corroded metal components, and matte or loosely bound pigments. Tests may identify sensitive materials before treatment, but not always. A particular worry surrounds samplers, in which threads of even the same colour might come from different dye lots and sources. Spot tests can easily miss the one area where a colour is not waterfast. Moreover, dyes or colours that tests show are stable can end up solubilizing with prolonged water exposure – as can occur during washing. The large unembellished areas of decorated textiles can also show stains and discolorations on the ground fabric. In the past, these could not be cleaned, either, Sampler before treatment, showing soiled linen ground because of the water-sensitive elements. Today, new and completely removable fixatives have made their way into the conservator’s toolbox, allowing many of these “unwashables” to be safely cleaned. One example, cyclododecane, is a favourite of mine. This evaporating wax, applied with a kistka (the tool used to decorate Ukrainian Easter eggs), is useful for protecting relatively small detailed areas such as embroidery. It is available as a spray, too, useful for fixing larger areas. Cyclomethicone is another new fixative. It is a very slow-evaporating organic liquid with virtually no solvency power, and it can be brushed or sprayed over larger areas to make them water resistant. The linen ground fabric of the sampler pictured here was quite soiled, but the silk embroidery threads were too fragile to subject to water cleaning. I therefore used a kistka to apply cyclodocecane to the front and back. The sampler could then be safely washed with neutral detergents and chelating agents. I then applied a protective alkaline reserve to the linen ground fabric, without touching the silk embroidery threads. (The latter, being protein, are best kept at a neutral to slightly acidic pH range.) Conservation is an ever-changing discipline that borrows and adapts technologies from far-flung sources. Cyclodocecane is used industrially to produce flame retardants, and cyclomethicone is used in Sampler after treatment, which included cleaning and fixing with cyclododecane the cosmetics industry. I’m always grateful for the curiosity and imagination of my colleagues who search out solutions for our profession and find them in such disparate materials.

The extensive collection of 55 pieces, curated by Nicola Levell, features a diverse array of media, including painting, sculpture, mixed media, photography and video. The Spanish phrase Lo real maravilloso, translated as “the marvelous real,” describes the nature of the style of these artworks – magical, out of this world and often bizarre. They encapsulate Mexico’s fantastic form of magic realism and offer world views filtered through a range of abstract, surreal and embellished objects. Highlights of the exhibition include Frida Kahlo’s Mi vestido cuelga aqui (My Dress Hangs Here, 1933), Betsabeé Romero’s Serpiente (Serpent, 2004), and works by Dr. Atl (Gerardo Murillo), Leonora Carrington, Jean Charlot, Juan O’Gorman, Alice Rahon, David Alfaro Siqueiros, Juan Soriano and Rufino Tamayo.

Along with such standard fare as a calendar of events and a gallery list, Exhibit-V provides an open forum for local arts writers, as well as access to Quiroz’s own body of work – an exhaustive video series documenting every art opening and happening in the city since the inception of this project, five years ago. He writes: “I chose to name the exhibition...‘Difference and Repetition’…based on French philosopher Gilles Deleuze’s idea of how a new series brings back an older series and transforms it into something completely new so that repetition brings about difference. Instead of looking for a theme and going to the studios looking for appropriate work, I thought, wouldn’t it be better to put together artists from different backgrounds, Debora Alanna, Difference and Repetition (2013), acrylic and oil, plaster give them one iconic painting and from that of Paris, grout, hot glue, mesh (steel, copper, brass) on board [Slide Room work ask them to create their own original Gallery, Victoria BC, Nov 1-Dec 2] painting? I really like Gerhard Richter as an artist, so I chose Abstract Painting (1985) [Catalogue Raisonné: 587-5] as the source material.” The show’s participants (which include James Gordaneer and Lance Austin Olsen) are, says Quiroz, all excited to be part of doing something using Richter’s work as inspiration.

PHOTO COURTESY AMERICAN FEDERATION OF ARTS Of Heaven and Earth: 500 Years of Italian Painting from Glasgow Museums ART GALLERY OF ALBERTA, EDMONTON AB – Dec 14, 2013-Mar 9, 2014 Of Heaven and Earth: 500 Years of Italian Painting from Glasgow Museums examines thematic and stylistic development in Italian art from the late Middle Ages and Renaissance to the 19th century. It includes paintings originating from the principal artistic centres of Italy, and presents work by such famous artists as Giovanni Bellini, Sandro Botticelli, Domenichino, Francesco Guardi, Salvator Rosa and Titian alongside work of lesser-known masters. Of Heaven and Earth is organized in chronological sections. “Tradition & Innovation in the Sacred Art” showcases religious paintings from the 1300s to 1400s that conveyed Biblical narratives to a largely illiterate public, inspired prayer and demonstrated the devotion of their patrons. “The Splendor of the Renaissance” moves from the luminous, masterful perspective paintings of the 1500s to the more highly stylized and mannered work of the 1600s. “The Rise of Idealism” illustrates the emergence of landscape in the 1700s as a subject in itself. “Romanticism, Revival, and Modernity” presents both secular neoclassical and genre paintings from the 1800s, an era of national unification and modernization. This travelling exhibition on loan, from Glasgow Museums, highAntonio Balestra, Justice and Peace Embracing (ca. 1700), oil on canvas [Art lights significant new research and Gallery of Alberta, Edmonton AB, Dec 14-Mar 9] discoveries relating to attribution, dates, provenance, infrared analysis and the reconstruction of fragmented altarpieces.

PREVIEW 51 Practical Art History, or Confessions of a Fine Art Appraiser Chapter 39. The Case of Nano-D Technology Several years ago, Paul Biro, son of Canadian-Hungarian painter and art sleuth extraordinaire Geza Biro, made an important statement about his method of conducting research on paintings of questionable authenticity. He said that he approaches the picture as if he were a detective at a crime scene seeking to link the material evidence to the perpetrator…in this case via a fingerprint. When a fingerprint located within the paint or varnish on a painting can be matched with the artist’s known fingerprint, the identity of the painting’s creator can be verified. Verifying the authenticity of an art object, whether it’s a painting, artist’s print, sculpture, piece of jewellery or even a coin, is a serious concern in the art market. These days, art verification is no longer only a matter of professional judgement and opinion: it’s a matter of science. Thanks to the efforts of the team at Chali-Rosso Art Gallery in Vancouver, a new diagnostic tool has been added to the art investigator’s tool kit in the form of the “nano-D system.” The Comparison of original and nano-D image of a European oil painting nano-D system was developed by the gallery’s owner and director, Susanna Strem, and her team. Strem was addressing authenticity concerns held by the industry as a whole, as well as by her own gallery’s clients. In her Granville Row gallery, she presents limited edition original prints by modern masters such as Picasso, Dali, Miró and Chagall. Using nano-D fingerprint technology, Strem is able to offer documented, indisputable proof of authenticity. The resulting documents become key and permanent components of the artworks’ provenance and authenticity packages and can prove invaluable for both insurance and resale purposes. This non-invasive tool is based on reverse engineering. A three-dimensional digital rendering is made of the surface of the art object at a nano scale. The digital rendering is similar to taking a fingerprint, in that a uniquely identifiable image of a specific section of the artwork is captured. As Strem explains, by selecting several specific sections of the artwork to sample, enough data can be collected to complete and preserve the nano-D record. It’s not necessary to render an image of the entire surface. The digital information is then stored on a DVD, with one copy provided to the client and another held in a secure, off-site location. The nano-D system is portable and is operated by a highly trained professional. Its cost is surprisingly affordable, determined largely by where the collection to be documented is located and the size and number of the pieces in it. The DVD becomes an integral part of the authenticity package and should accompany the sale if an artwork changes hands. Knowing that the authenticity can be verified offers people a powerful incentive to purchase artwork. It seems to me that auction houses, which are in the business of selling only authentic works, should consider requiring that each work offered at auction be subject to the scrutiny that nano-D technology provides, because it offers the purchaser a validation of the work’s authenticity. Doing this would further enhance the credibility of an auction house – important in a competitive market culture. And bidders would, I’m sure, like to know that any artworks they were interested in has been verified as authentic by nano-D technology. And so it goes … Next Issue: The Case of the Developing Dalí 52 PREVIEW ■ NOVEMBER/DECEMBER/JANUARY 2013-14 Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre 50-950 W 41st Ave 604-264-0499 www.vhec.org mon-thurs 9am-5pm fri 9am-4pm.

Her mysterious but powerful work frequently evokes a dysphoric response in the viewer. Her simple shapes painted in flat blocks of colour morph under the sensitive eye into surprisingly complex, and sometimes horrifying, narratives. She is, perhaps, to the visual arts what Alice Munro is to the art of short fiction. This exhibit is best described in Meigs’ own words: “The Basement Panoramas are mural-scale paintings of four basement spaces. All of the paintings are 6 feet in height and anywhere from 18 to 46 feet wide. The paintings have a fresco-like surface…The paint is applied to a very absorbent ground, much like gouache, and has a matte finish. The paintings appear to be very much like drawings. All of the works contain text, which contributes to their schematic nature. “The work relates to my year of grieving after being with my husband as Sandra Meigs, Schematic for Grey. Basement Panoramas (2013), detail, ink on he succumbed to cancer in early 2010. paper [Open Space Gallery, Victoria BC, Nov 1-Dec 14] The paintings deal with the grieving process in a universal sense.

They are also the foundation of the house, analogous to the psyche.” Christine Clark ceeds to be donated to the Dan Lepsoe Chisel Fund for the purchase of carving materials for artists; also showing works by Rande Cook, Francis Dick, lessLIE, Dylan Thomas, Teddy Balangu, Claytus Yambon, Dennis Nona and Alick Tipoti; Nov 28-Dec 31 Rebecca Jewell, "Birds of a Feather", exquisite etchings of images and artifacts inspired by headdresses from the Highlands of Papua New Guinea printed on unlikely media such as luggage-labels and bird feathers; Jack Bai and Joseph Sicken, wooden birds by master carvers of Papua New Guinea; Andrew Busha, carved water birds, serigraphs by Aboriginal artists from the Tully River in Northern Australia; graphic works of birds by Coast Salish artists lessLIE, Chris Paul and Dylan Thomas. ★ Art Gallery of Greater Victoria 1040 Moss St 250-384-4171 www.aggv.ca tues-sat 10am-5pm thurs 10am-9pm sun 12-5pm.

Over the past three decades, she has been instrumental in re-establishing Coast Salish art in Canada and the United States. She draws inspiration from traditional motifs and themes and reinvents them in paper, glass, bronze, wood, concrete, polymer, stainless steel and cast iron. Point is well known for her exquisite gold and silver jewellery, printmaking and commissions for the Winter Olympic Games in 2010. The Spirit Wrestler Gallery is currently featuring 20 glass works created by Point at the Pilchuck Glass School in 2002. She began preparing for the exhibition last year by working with glass artist Yves Trudeau of Studio One Glass, using a variety of etched and applied finishes and choosing bases for the pieces. Point has been honoured with numerous awards, including the Order of Canada, a National Aboriginal Achievement Award, a YWCA Woman of Distinction Award, and a BC Creative Achievement Award.

The well-known Portland painter builds energetic relationships of figure and ground with a signature palette of earth tones contrasted with vibrant yellows and ochres. In this new show, Parker recalls the large volcanic mountains dominating the Northwest’s skylines. With her intersecting shapes, textural brushwork and layering of colour, she shows that the physical attributes of painting remain central in her bold canvasses. BEN BUSWELL Upfor Gallery, Portland, Dec 5-Jan 25 Portland artist Ben Buswell offers a meditation on loss and mourning in his new series We Live Only Through Ourselves. A response to the passing of his grandfather, Buswell’s photographs and sculpture become a vehicle for expressing universal reverence for this very human experience. Buswell emphasizes materiality in his work. For him, the accumulation of marks and gestures creates seemingly complex systems and sensations, echoing the emotional complexities of life itself. QUALITY IS CONTAGIOUS: JOHN ECONOMAKI AND BRIDGE CITY TOOL WORKS Museum of Contemporary Craft, Portland, Aug 16-Feb 8 John Economaki was a highly respected furniture maker until he developed a severe allergy to wood dust, which ended his career in 1983. This skilled studio artist then turned to making elegantly designed, heirloom-quality hand tools for woodworkers. Bridge City Tool Works was born. This retrospective exhibition looks at Economaki’s work of the last 30 years, with products, sketches and tools from the innovative Portland company on view for the first time. Lucinda Parker Ben Buswell Tools by John Economaki MEDITATIONS ON EQUILIBRIUM: WORKS IN GLASS AND PAPER BY ALEX HIRSCH Oregon Jewish Museum, Portland, Oct 9-Jan 5 Suggesting an internal life in dialogue with the natural world, Portland artist Alex Hirsch reflects on practices of dance and meditation in creating delicate works on paper and subtle images in glass. The properties of her materials are carefully considered to create a fragile balance in which no component overcomes another. As Hirsch states, “My body of work utters complex tensions between darkness and light, singularity and multiplicity, solemnity and levity.” ROBERT DOZONO: GARBAGE PAINTINGS Blackfish Gallery, Portland, Nov 5-30 For roughly 20 years, Portland artist Robert Dozono has been using consumer waste as an energetic contemporary medium to form multi-textural paintings. Within his richly coloured, irregularly shaped canvasses, Dozono organizes a plethora of objects that would otherwise (one hopes) end up in the recycling bin. Plastic lids, random containers and the odd toothbrush handle form the relief surface of these dense and lively compositions which stem from the artist’s deeply felt sense of environmentalism. Alex Hirsch Robert Dozono www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 61 www.elizabethleach.com Ann Hamilton: a reading ELIZABETH LEACH GALLERY, PORTLAND OR – Nov 2, 2013-Jan 11, 2014 Ann Hamilton is internationally recognized for her large-scale multi-media installations. The artist has a background in textiles and her works often employ tactile materials in environments shaped by central themes of the metaphoric value of language and text as they relate to sound, silence and time. Reflecting a practice of over 20 years, this exhibit includes video, works on paper and sculptural pieces that explore the relationship between the written language and the tangible experience. Many of the pieces invoke the idea that the individual manner in which we read is a subjective act, where tracing through lines of text insinuates the act of drawing. Hamilton is known for the immersive qualities of her poetic installations, but here uses elements from these larger projects to create prints, video works and objects of sculpture that are often made from deconstructed books that take new forms. The hand is also a Ann Hamilton, (lineament · book/ball) (1994), ball wound from strips of text, book, large symbol in Hamilton’s work: two wood and glass witrine [Elizabeth Leach Gallery, Portland OR, Nov 2-Jan 11] video pieces show a set of hands wearing awkward paper gloves. In follow (2011), the gloved hands repetitively draw in circles. This two-channel continuous loop video is about the moment present in the mark-making of a single line. Also in the show are works from Hamilton’s print series ELOCUTION, which explores silent and aloud reading that become acts of writing and drawing. For this series, which draws words from Ralph Waldo Emerson’s essay “Circles”, Hamilton collaborated with printmaking students. The prints echo with multiple individualized impressions and layers of overprinting in rich minimal compositions. Allyn Cantor 10am-8pm, sun 12-5pm.

From ancient relics to the era of modern art, the thematically organized exhibit includes artwork and artifacts from early civilizations that predate the Incas through the time of Spanish conquest and the influence of Christianity, and into the last two centuries of artistic independence and the re-emergence of a native aesthetic. Pre-Columbian and Incan examples of masterfully crafted objects and ornamentation in gold, silver and alloys, as well as masks, textiles, ceramics and ritual objects, showcase the artistry of some of the world’s first sophisticated civilizations. Several of these treasures have only recently been discovered and many have rarely been displayed before in the U.S. The artistic integration after colonialism is reflected in paintings rendered with European techniques and objects that blend indigenous folklore and religious Mochica frontal ornament with feline head and octopus tentacles ending in catfish heads practices with Christianity. Archae- (100-800 A.D.), gold, chrysocolla, shells [Seattle Art Museum, Seattle WA, Oct 17-Jan 5] ological photographs from the first Machu Picchu excavation in 1911 by American explorer Hiram Bingham reveal the unused site after several centuries, reiterating the legacy of the Incan Empire as an essential part of Peruvian national identity. Peru’s independence from Spain in the early 19th century yielded the Indigenous movement of social, political and artistic change. Artists revisited ancient symbols and folk art, seeking a new artistic identity and authentic expression. The exhibit shows how contemporary Peruvian iconography is informed by the rediscovery of native traditions and aesthetics. Allyn Cantor glass artwork of J.P. Canlis.

Gibson Gallery, Seattle, Oct 18-Nov 23 New York photographer Lori Nix arrives at her dramatic imagery through meticulously built dioramas of her subjects, like a miniature movie set that takes the artist several months to construct for each photo. In this series, we see abandoned interiors of recognizable urban places – a shoe store, a hair salon and even the Natural History Museum in New York. The dense theatrical images portray a post-human era with details so intense that the line between truth and illusion becomes uncomfortably beautiful. SHIMMERING TREE: A PROJECTION BY JENNIFER STEINKAMP Tacoma Art Museum, Tacoma, Nov 9-Jan 26 Jennifer Steinkamp is a Los Angeles-based installation artist who uses digital projections to transform architectural spaces. She renders captivating and beautifully detailed imagery with a computer. Her recent work portrays the magnitude and power of nature through a synthetic experience, in this case, a single large-scale tree undergoing a year-long cycle in 11 minutes. These living changes are a nod to her mentor, Mike Kelley, who died in 2012 but has left an instrumental mark on the art world. GAYLEN HANSEN Linda Hodges Gallery, Seattle, Oct 3-Nov 30 Dogs, birds, fish, horses and an iconic cowboy figure – usually referred to as Kernal – are some of the signature elements that continue to populate Gaylen Hansen’s expressive paintings. This distinguished Washington artist, now in his 90s, developed a distinct sense of allegory that has run throughout his lengthy career. Witty folk-art symbols and characters are rendered in a vigorous dream world of colourful compositions and powerful loose brushwork. Lori Nix Jennifer Steinkamp Gaylen Hansen MARY IVERSON: SUNK Davidson Galleries, Seattle, Nov 8-30 Mary Iverson’s work portrays the collision between environmental concerns and rapid globalization. This new exhibit features paintings based on Yosemite National Park, as well as pieces that depict an imagined effect of rising sea levels in cities around the world. Iverson overlays luminous, panoramic scenery with grid-like arrangements of thin lines and simplified shipping container forms. This visual juxtaposition is both stunning and jarring, pointing to the contradictions of our industrial ways. JASON DODGE: WHAT WE HAVE DONE Henry Art Gallery, Seattle, Oct 19-Jan 26 Exploring the poetic potential of blank space, Berlinbased artist Jason Dodge uses an empty gallery as his blank canvas. His minimal, object-based sculptures come with anecdotes that serve as titles, contextualizing the spare arrangements of simple materials. Ultimately, the viewer is meant to conjure personal associations among objects, text and physical space to define the experience. This first comprehensive exhibit by Dodge in North America includes recent and new work and a publication on the project. Mary Iverson Jason Dodge www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 67 www.bellevuearts.org A World of Paper, A World of Fashion: Isabelle de Borchgrave Meets Mariano Fortuny COURTESY OF ISABELLE DE BORCHGRAVE STUDIO PHOTO: PHILIPPE LECLERCQ / FORTUNY COLLECTION BELLEVUE ARTS MUSEUM, BELLEVUE WA – Nov 21, 2013-Feb 16, 2014 Belgian artist Isabelle de Borchgrave has been producing Isabelle de Borchgrave, Blue Delphos Dress and Shawl (2007), paper [Bellevue Arts Museum, Bellevue WA, Nov 21-Feb 16] ★ Lisa Harris Gallery 1922 Pike Place 206-443-3315 www.lisaharrisgallery.com mon-sat 10:30am-5:30pm sun 11am4pm. Nov 7-Dec 2 Richard Morhous, "Making Marks", new body of work that reflects both cityscapes and landscapes with scenes of New York City, San Francisco, Seattle and the Oregon coast; Dec 5-30 Lois Silver, "Vignettes", intensely coloured oil paintings that evoke a unique sense of mood and encourage viewers to supply a narrative based on their personal experiences. collections of costumes and fashion-inspired garments made entirely of paper for over 15 years of her 40-year career. In this work, the acclaimed artist references centuries of fashion history influences, from Queen Elizabeth I to Coco Chanel. This exhibit focuses exclusively on one of de Borchgrave’s collections: pieces inspired by the work of Spanish-born fashion designer Mariano Fortuny (1871-1949). Fortuny was best known for his “Delphos” dresses, which borrowed from the airiness and loose draping of women’s garments in classical Greece and the Italian Renaissance. His exquisite use of hand-pleating, customdyed fabrics, and printed velvets and silks lends a timeless artistry to Fortuny’s elegant dresses. In her “Fortuny” collection (on show here in its entirety), de Borchgrave employs many painting and drawing techniques to create the effect of silk and velvet, using media such as gouache, charcoal, oil, watercolour and pastels. Intricate folds mimic pleats, while detailed stencilling echoes textile designs. The result is an authentic fabric look in these 35 stunning, three-dimensional paper dresses and numerous flat costumes and accessories in paper (such as shoes, jewellery and vases) – all together evoking a true Fortuny-era sensibility of innovatively crafted sculptures.

Both show and publication (created in partnership with the Southern Alberta Art Gallery) focus on a multi-faceted project by Vancouver-based Langergraber, involving a film trilogy and related sculptures, drawings and photographs. In a science fiction scenario, the protagonist (played by the artist) is transported through space and time to various significant sites in the U.S. and Canada. Iconic earth art, spectacular natural formations and other cultural and scientific references abound, asking us to consider collective memory and human myth-making. The catalogue includes contributions by Ryan Doherty, Peter Morin, Charlotte Townsend-Gault, Liz Wylie and the artist himself. Softcover, 104 pages, $15 CAD.

This discerning group organized international exhibitions that highlighted individualism, laying a foundation for many later Modernist developments. In his day, Stuck (later ennobled Franz Ritter von Stuck) was an acclaimed painter who often portrayed dark mythological subjects in scenes with a heightened sense of emotion. His dramatic compositions frequently featured strong tension between darks and lights, often using solitary figures expressively rendered with high chromatic contrast. Stuck’s most famous painting, Die Sünde (The Sin), was first shown at the Secessionist Exhibition of 1893 and then at the Third Annual Exhibition at the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburg in 1898. The iconic work, seductive and haunting, was controversial at the time for depicting a partly clad woman with a snake slithering over her shoulder. Stuck painted variations on this same subject in several other later works, including the 1908 version that is part of this exhibit. Stuck was also a proficient sculptor, talented designer, illustrator and architect, and an influential teacher. Many of his students went on to become highly recognized in the Franz von Stuck, Lucifer (1890), oil on canvas [Frye Art Museum, Seattle art world, most notably Paul Klee and Wassi- WA, Nov 2-Feb 2] ly Kandinsky. This exhibit showcases many of Stuck’s graphic and architectural designs, as well as his masterful canvasses drawn from international collections.

Although she has produced mesmerizing performance videos, mixed-media installations, sound-inflected sculpture, and photographs, Kimsooja is most identified with her fabric art, much of it based on the Korean tradition of bottari (which uses brightly coloured bed covers to wrap and transport clothing and other household items). Includes four guest essays and an interview between Kimsooja and VAG chief curator Daina Augaitis. Hardcover, 184 pages, $48 CAD. Co-published by the Vancouver Art Gallery and Hatje Cantz Verlag and available through the Vancouver Art Gallery store, 604-662-4706. INDIAN CANDY: DANA CLAXTON was published in conjunction with the Winsor Gallery exhibition of the same name (which closed November 2). Claxton, whose family background is Hunkpapa Lakota Sioux, uses paradoxically beautiful strategies to seduce viewers into considering her hard-hitting content. Here, she examines stereotypes of “the Indian,” mostly in the context of “the Wild West,” by altering the appearance of archival documents and historical photographs in visually gorgeous ways. Softcover, 48 pages, $25 CAD. Available at Winsor Gallery, 604-681-4870. ISABELLE PAUWELS is the major monograph that evolved out of this Vancouver artist’s 2010 Presentation House Gallery exhibition, B and E. Pauwels’ wholly original art seeks to “make sense of mediated reality” while confusing and disrupting it. Her idiosyncratic practice ranges across digital collages, video installations, performance works, sculpture, architectural interventions and audio pieces, yet – as curator Helga Pakasaar writes in this book, Pauwels’ primary medium is language. Contributions by Juan A. Gaitán, Paul Kajander and Pauwels herself – and an excerpt from Samuel Beckett’s Molloy. Hardcover, 131 pages, $35 CAD. Available at Presentation House Gallery, 604-986-1351. NET-ETH: GOING OUT OF THE DARKNESS documents the multi-venue exhibition of the same name. Timed to coincide with the Vancouver visit by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, the show asked a number of First Nations artists to reflect on the residential school experience. The resulting works testify to the trauma experienced by survivors and their descendants. Some of the art, such as Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun’s mixed-media installation Residential School Dirty Laundry, make explicit references to sexual abuse. Others, such as Tania Willard’s suite of digital prints based on First Nations hockey images, propose “spaces at residential schools where children could escape the onslaught of oppression and could celebrate and be strong.” Softcover, 96 pages, $25 CAD. Available at Malaspina Printmakers Gallery, 604-688-1724 or [email protected]. ANDREW GRASSIE is the companion publication of this artist’s solo exhibition at the Rennie Collection at Wing Sang in Vancouver. The Edinburgh-born and London-based Grassie is internationally known for his small photo-realist paintings in egg tempera, often depicting exhibitions of work by other artists, historic and contemporary. Invited to visit the Rennie Collection, Grassie responded with a series of astonishing paintings of artworks and exhibitions that pose probing questions about agency and originality.
