David Hoffos: Scenes from the House Dream
PRIVATE COLLECTION AND COURTESY OF THE ARTIST AND TRÉPANIERBAER.
SOUTHERN ALBERTA ART GALLERY, LETHBRIDGE AB – thru Nov 20
ESPLANADE ART GALLERY, MEDICINE HAT, AB – thru Nov 30 Scenes
from the House Dream is a masterpiece of multimedia by Lethbridgebased artist David Hoffos. The piece has been the focus of his production for the past five years and now includes 25 dream scenes.
Hoffos' mesmerizing work has employed such theatre-based
symbology as stage curtains and lighting effects; interior rooms with
avant-garde furniture; exterior views of cityscapes at night; and space
craft at night. His two-dimensional people and props appear to be
taken from photos or video stills combined with 3-D animation and
video effects. Figures are indistinct, almost existential in presentation, often exhibiting symbolic gestures and bizarre dancing.
Scenes from the House Dream, curated by Shirley Madill, is organized and circulated by the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria in partner- David Hoffos, Another City (1999), five
ship with the Southern Alberta Art Gallery. Because of the nature of channel video, audio and mixed media

John Hartman: Cities
PAUL KUHN GALLERY, CALGARY AB – Nov 8-29 Ontario
artist John Hartman frequently travels across North America
and Europe to sketch, photograph, and document landscapes, cities and their stories. His panoramic paintings of
countryside and cityscapes are created from a birds-eye view
and reveal fascinating interconnections of mountains, rivers,
highways, hills, city centres, bridges, railways and outlying
regions.
In addition to the writhing, energetic lines and shapes of
the familiar ports and isolated cities, Hartman often incorporates historical references and events. Working with photos
and sketches made on site, he builds densely-knit narratives
in his studio. His quickly-sketched colour drypoints and his
dramatic paintings expose the idiosyncracies of topology in John Hartman, Calgary, Looking East (2008), oil

Wanda Lock: Stacks and Piles
KELOWNA ART GALLERY, KELOWNA BC – Nov 1-Jan 4 Okanagan Valley-based artist Wanda Lock is
exhibiting paintings on canvas and paper using elements of text, strong colours and fanciful imagery.
In a concurrent series of work on paper, she has scanned pages from 1950s primary school readers
featuring Dick, Jane, Sally, their pets and parents, and reworked them in what is described as "a
rather transgressive and deconstructive manner".
Lock employs a variety of such mediums as
graphite, oil, pastel and acrylic on paper, board and
canvas in her exploration of themes about speech, text
and communication. Lock's "whimsical and ambiguous" images incorporate passages of text written in a
cursive longhand, and appear almost autobiographical in nature. Her conceptual direction is reminiscent
of the early 1960s cartoon-based images of Pop artist
Roy Lichtenstein that have been described as "...visually capturing brief moments and arresting them in
time with accompanying text".
Lock graduated in 1992 from Emily Carr College of Wanda Lock, Untitled (2008), mixed-media work on paper
Art and Design with a studio major in painting. She [Kelowna Art Gallery, Kelowna BC, Nov 1-Jan 4]
currently lives in Lake Country (Okanagan Centre).
Beginning in November, Lock will be working in residence at the Scotiabank studio. During this time
the Kelowna Art Gallery is hosting a Family Sundays program with Lock entitled Drawing with Words,
as well as an acrylic painting class for adults. Mia Johnson

PRESENTATION HOUSE GALLERY, NORTH VANCOUVER BC – Nov 22-Jan 11 Juliette and Friends is an
exhibit drawn from several local photographic archives that highlights the liveliness and glamour
of the Vancouver entertainment scene from the late 1950s
to the mid-70s. The exhibit takes its name from a CBC
production, Juliette and Friends. The show starred an
important television personality of the time, Juliette
Sysak, who was born in 1927 and made a Member of the
Order of Canada in 1975.
The exhibit also features recently found photographs
from the Penthouse Cabaret Night Club on Seymour
Street. This important early Vancouver landmark was a
late-night entertainment institution. Interior scenes of the
club, performances, dining, parties and celebratory
moments reveal its rich life as an after-hours club, cabaret,
and music venue. Glossy promotion portraits of showgirls
and celebrities as well as photos taken by its owners, Joe
Filippone and his brothers, capture such famous faces as
Diana Ross, Jerry Lewis, Guy Lombardo, Liberace and Dick Oulton, Woman on Lawn (c. 1954), left side of
of stereo transparency [Presentation House Gallery,
Sammy Davis Jr.
Balancing the intoxicating mix of celebrities and stars North Vancouver BC, Nov 22-Jan 11]
are portraits by commercial photographer Dick Oulton. Oulton's photographs documented weddings, building sites, nightclubs, wrestling matches, hairdressing championships and promotions.
The exhibition emphasizes his studio processes with a series of stereographic slides and portraits of
female models who were likely his friends. Mia Johnson

Marie Watt
GREG KUCERA GALLERY, SEATTLE, WA – Nov 13-Dec 24 Over the last several years, Portland-based
artist Marie Watt has had much recognition for her Blanket Stories. The multidisciplinary artist collects wool blankets then forms towers of totem-like sculptures from the folded stacks. Watt also
utilizes salvaged wood and translates her blanket pieces
into bronze sculptures.
In her most recent work, Watt has created portraits by
sewing reclaimed wool blankets into sculptural pieces.
Much like her recent installation at the Portland Art Museum's Contemporary Northwest Art Awards exhibition,
Watt's portraits are about human interconnectedness and
the relationship of individuals to other people, especially in
the context of historical events. Both iconic and anonymous people are represented from a broad spectrum of
time. Watt, a Seneca woman, emphasizes the Iroquois
notion that actions and decisions made today affect seven
generations to come. She describes this concept as "Six
Degrees and Seven Generations". "Six degrees of separation" is a contemporary phrase that encapsulates Watt's DEMOKRATIE IST LUSTIG (Democracy is Merry)
theme of the ways in which the lives of disparate individu- (2008), wool blankets, thread, silk organza [Greg
Kucera Gallery, Seattle, WA – Nov 13-Dec 24]
als can, unknowingly, overlap.
Through her webs of images, Watt evokes a nonlinear
narrative as much about memory and collective experience as it is about the personal. She creates
humble associations between the Native Americans she is portraying and figures from Western
society. The basic, elemental nature of her blankets, which ordinarily serve as shelter and protection, infuses the work with warmth and depth. As Watt puts it, "Wool blankets are simple objects
with stories that connect us". Allyn Cantor

PREVIEW 23
BEHIND THE SCENES
BY ANN ROSENBERG
A thousand cuts won't bring death to the arts, but small cuts, are
extremely irritating.
In an article in the August 14 issue of Toronto's Globe and Mail, James Bradshaw reported Prime
Minister Stephen Harper's announcement on the Government's website that the Conservatives
would no longer fund The Canada Council's $4.7 million PromArt and several other programs.
Some three weeks later on September 7, Harper dissolved parliament.
Even before Governor General Michaëlle Jean approved
the October 14 date for the Federal election, the cuts cited
above brought criticism from the leaders of Canada's other
major political parties and from arts groups and individuals, particularly in Québec. There was such an outcry that
by October 3, the manitobamusic.com/blog site stated that
Canadian Heritage Minister Josée Verner indicated that the
Conservatives would look into revising the PromArt program by March 2009. In the CBC's At Issue panel's sober
post-mortem of the Federal election, Chantal Hébert implied that the PromArt fiasco was an
important factor in the Conservative Party's loss of seats in Québec.
Despite the global economic crisis that became the all-consuming focus of the latter part of
the Canadian Federal election campaign, the $4.7 PromArt budget cut (which is substantial) did
bring attention to the fragility of arts funding in this country. I am at least as concerned, however, about the bloodless snip that was delivered on April Fools' Day this year.
On April 1, the Canada Exhibition Transportation Service (ETS) that had serviced museums and
public art galleries and had operated in a cost-effective manner under the aegis of the Canadian Conservation Institute within the Department of Canadian Heritage for 30 years, took its last breath. If
elected, Elizabeth May or another Green MP might have helped to resuscitate it.
The Green Party was the only major political party in the recent election to express a concern for
cross-country amenities. In "Looking Forward: a fresh perspective on Canada's future" one of its stated
goals was to invest in "public facilities and services – the things that link us across our vast geography".
Why do I care about the ETS? Like many Canadians I have an on-the-ground experience of
this country's breadth. In 1963, I took the five-day train journey from Vancouver to Ottawa only
to realize that it would require a few days more to reach the Atlantic Ocean. Recently, I curated a
travelling show at a public gallery in Courtenay on Vancouver Island and discovered that to ship one 8 x 4 x 2 foot
crate from Vancouver cost $700. Perhaps I could have utilized the ETS at a percentage of the cost.
The discontinuation of the ETS will make it difficult for
artists to achieve national profiles because galleries lack the
funds to circulate their works to even remote places in this
country. Works shipped by ETS travelled in smooth-riding,
climate-controlled trucks with a driver and an extra person
to assist with the professional handling of sometimes fragile pieces of art. The ETS set the standard
for the commercial services rendered by Denbigh Design and PACART. These businesses charge
considerably more and are in any case unlikely to want to ship art from Vancouver, BC to
Churchill, Manitoba.
According to a Canadian Conservation Institute bulletin (updated on April 24) the ETS,
which has been described elsewhere as a cost-effective enterprise, was "shut down on March 31,
2008 for operational reasons". It is well known that no affordable contracts could be negotiated
with the unions whose members CCI must currently employ.

Cole Morgan
GALLERY JONES, VANCOUVER BC – Nov 6-29 Cole Morgan is a European-based American painter
whose work has been described as 'brilliant doodles'. His canvases contain numerous colourful and
playful shapes resembling small and obscure objects, which he often places in gridded or repeated
patterns with a careful randomness he characterizes as
"controlled spontaneity".
The blobs of pigment and painterly marks resemble lab
specimens accompanied by cryptic handwritten notation.
The delightful abstract paintings, with their self-contained
look of biology charts crossed with scribbles and with
what has been termed "banal minutiae" act like documents for a parallel scientific reality.
Morgan was born in New York in 1950. He attended
the University of New Mexico where he earned a BFA in
1971, and later, the Centre of Graphic Art in Florence and
the De Vrije Akademie in The Hague. During 2007, he
showed in such prominent venues as the Caldwell Snyder
Gallery, San Francisco; Ludwig Museum, Germany; CIGE,
Beijing and the Korea International Art Fair. Other influ- Cole Morgan, Not Seen at Chelsea (2008), mixed

Hiro Yamagata: TRANSIENT
HODNETT FINE ART, VANCOUVER BC – Nov 27-Feb 27 Japanese-born artist Hiro Yamagata is recognized as a pioneer of contemporary laser art. He bases his wide-ranging activities in Los Angeles
where his studio serves as a science laboratory. His brilliantly coloured installations are comprised
of multiple laser systems, holographic surfaces and sometimes mirrors, with complex computer
systems controlling each laser to change colours, patterns, speed, duration and intensity. His influential work has been installed at prestigious sites across North America and in Sweden, Germany,
Austria, Spain, Italy and Japan. He will be creating major holographic installations in Russia in
2009 and, Afghanistan in 2012.
In quite a different vein of work, TRANSIENT is a series of works on canvas that explore the
transient world of consciousness. They share Yamagata's fascination with unconscious experience
and sensory stimulation. The shadowy places
between our many levels of consciousness are
the subject of this series as he diagrammatically tracks simultaneous experiences of multiple realities experienced by the human
brain in any one moment, including conscious experience, physical experience, emotional responses and what he describes as
"buried memories, forgotten dreams, and
fleeting ideas".
Hiro Yamagata was born in Japan in 1948,
and studied at L'Ecole des Beaux Arts in
Paris, where he befriended members of the
Hiro Yamagata, Painting #22 (2008), black ink, graphite on rice
Beat Generation including Allen Ginsberg
paper on canvas [Hodnett Fine Art, Vancouver BC, Nov 27-Feb 27]
and Gregory Corso. He moved to Los Angeles in 1978, then toured the States for seven years. He continues to live and work in Los Angeles.
TRANSIENT, his first exhibit in Vancouver, was previously shown at Frank Gehry's studio in Los
Angeles in September 2007. Mia Johnson

Adaptation: Video Installations by Ben-Ner, Herrera,
Sullivan, and Sussman & The Rufus Corporation
COURTESY OF THE ARTIST, GALERIE CATHERINE BASTIDE, BRUSSELS,
AND METRO PICTURES, NEW YORK.
HENRY ART GALLERY, SEATTLE WA – Nov 22-Mar 22 The title of the exhibit, Adaptation, refers to the
concept of re-envisioning existing material to form new works. The pieces in this exhibit reformulate passages from classic literature, painting, film and ballet as video installations. This practice is
common in film, literature, and pop culture, but not so much in the realm of fine art. While questioning authenticity is a theme in this nationally touring exhibit, which originated at the Smart
Museum of Art, University of Chicago, the re-contextualizing of known subjects serves to deepen
the impact and intentions, offering fresh accounts deep with current social relevance.
Guy Ben-Ner transforms Moby Dick and Wild Boy into witty narratives that were shot entirely
in a domestic setting. With his offbeat DIY
style, he exploits concepts of family and
individuality through poignant fictional
humour. Arturo Herrera abstracts his own
black and white drawings into a two channel digital projection. The fragmented
images animate the notes of a Stravinsky
composition for the 1923 ballet Les Noces.
In Catherine Sullivan's work, Triangle of
Need, social inequalities are examined in a
collision of stories about behaviour and Catherine Sullivan, Triangle of Need (2007), still from multi-channel
evolution. Her mysterious and thought- installation [Henry Art Gallery, Seattle WA – Nov 22-Mar 22]
provoking environments draw from an
eclectic variety of things like Nigerian email scams, Neanderthal figures and figure skating. Eve
Sussman & The Rufus Corporation appropriate the early Roman story, The Rape of the Sabine
Women, in an evocative feature length film. Referencing the legend as it originally appeared in neoclassic art, this modern adaptation becomes a study in sexual violence with subtle interactions
between male and female. Allyn Cantor

Alan Wood: Dreams and Memories
WINSOR GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Nov 13-Dec 7 In a new series of landscape collages and wood
reliefs, senior Canadian artist Alan Wood recalls the cliffs, forests,
waterfalls, rock formations and tidal inlets of British Columbia's Gulf
Islands and the Pacific Northwest Coast. Loose, rough, flat sections
of paper collaged on hard surfaces conjure up strong impressions of
the untamed landscapes and indigenous colours.
For 40 years, Wood has constructed complex abstractions of the
BC environment. Dreams and Memories builds on this legacy and also
introduces the figure of his recently deceased wife Flora McLeod.
The simple, stylized figures have "a compelling, universal quality"
that represents human experience, especially that of loss and loneliness. Wood further expands this symbolism by placing the figures
separately from the landscape forms.
Wood was born in 1935 in Lancashire, England and moved to
British Columbia in 1974. Since 1962, his work has been exhibited
in many group and solo exhibitions in Great Britain, Europe, Canada, the United States and Australia. He may be best known for Ranch

(1983), a 320-acre painted construction installed in the foothills of
collage [Winsor Gallery, Vancouver BC

Edward Burtynsky:
Uneasy Beauty – Photographs of Western Canada
SURREY ART GALLERY, SURREY BC – Jan 17-Mar 22 Edward Burtynsky is a Canadian photographer
of global significance. His large-scale cinematic colour photographs are fascinating both for ecological reasons and for the staggering wealth of visual detail they capture. Portraying changes to the
landscape, various series have included ship-breaking yards, urban mines, quarries and industrial
refineries.
Images from Burtynsky's Manufactured Landscapes series document landscapes altered by industrial forces in British Columbia and across Canada. His
photographs, taken on extensive tours across the country, compel viewers to experience awe in "the industrial
mastery of nature" – mining, oil exploration, and cuts
into mountains to create railways. His works demonstrate on an equally massive scale what he describes as
the "reciprocal" to cities, skyscrapers, highways and
industrial parks.
Burtynsky was born in St. Catharines, Ontario in
1955 and earned a BAA. in Photographic Arts from Ryerson Polytechnical University, Toronto. In 2004 he was
awarded the prestigious TED Prize, which honours indi- Edward Burtynsky, Westar Open Pit Coal Mine No. 19,

Chris Langstroth: New Works
KURBATOFF GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Nov 19-Dec 3 Chris Langstroth combines photographic
perspectives with palette knife painting in unique canvasses in the four-foot range. The abstracted
images, mostly recognizable street scenes with figures, hover on
the cusp between unformed pigment and representation. "In
each painting," he writes, "I'm searching for the most compelling combination of imagery and abstract paint quality." The
physicality of the paint is prominent.
Photographic foreshortening and oblique angles, together
with the shifting planes of the subject matter, give an intriguing
sense of urgency and motion to his work. The images, painted
with low-key colours in a Futurist style, are disquieting. They
share a forceful sense of diagonal movement in space, an emotional ambience linking the exterior scenes to interior emotions,
and a sense of simultaneity that appears to combine memories,
present impressions and anticipation of future events.

Toronto, with 16 shows at the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition since 1991. He was the winner of the

Chapter 16. The Case of being on the Forest Edge with Vern Simpson
In 1998, the British Columbia-based Expressionist landscape painter, Vern Simpson, was
commissioned to execute and install two very large acrylic on canvas paintings for the newly
renovated lobby of a major office tower in the heart of Vancouver's business district.
The work contract included detailed specifications for construction of stretcher frames measuring 12 × 7 feet and 12 × 9 feet using two-by-four kiln-dried fir (cut to profile) with 2 × 2
inch kiln-dried bracing. The painted canvases were to extend around the sides to the back so
that the two paintings could be installed without a frame. The subject matter was to be of the
BC coastline and of the hillside coast gardens as portrayed by Simpson in his most recent series.
Simpson's first step was to get intimate with the installation space, looking at the viewpoints: the entrance, the
staircase and the atrium. The downtown business district
site was once covered with giant old-growth cedars and
firs, now replaced with towering office blocks and condos.
He proposed to incorporate a reference to what had once
been, and also what was nearby, namely Stanley Park, the
North Shore, and the surrounding islands and mountains.
The physical challenge of size was resolved by choosing
acrylic on canvas which could be rolled and easily transported. Simpson built a temporary wall in his Gulf Islands
studio so that the canvas could be attached to the plywood
with heavy-duty clips.
Two rollers with axles were suspended above with a 13
× 10 foot raw 12 oz. duck canvas attached to each, one
behind the other. He sized the canvases, loosely blocked in
the colour, and began to paint although he could only see
about half of a painting at any given time.
The heavy-duty stretchers were built as specified, then
disassembled after numbering each part. A local engineering
firm that designed prototype robotic packing machines, fabricated the hangers which when fastened to the granite walls
in the lobby, would allow the paintings to rest securely. The Vern Simpson, Forest Edge (1998), acrylic on
final stages of the paintings were completed by a barefoot canvas, 12 × 7 feet
Simpson, on the floor, using a step-ladder for an overview.
The stretchers, canvases and tools made a huge bundle that fitted in his VW Westphalia.
At 5:00 on a Friday afternoon, Simpson, his son, an artist friend, and a couple of other friends
unloaded the canvases, tools, and stretcher components in the lobby of the building and then
began to assemble the work. The larger of the stretched canvases was the first to be lifted and
guided to rest on the waiting hangers. When the second canvas was in place, Simpson handed a level to his son and said, "check it". It was perfect.
In 2008, the lobby underwent further extensive design renovations which unfortunately
did not include the re-hanging of Simpson's work. The paintings were unceremoniously
removed from the walls they had occupied for nine years, and were transported to a storage
facility to await a new home.
It is interesting to note that Simpson's paintings replaced a work by Joanna Staniszkis,
which had hung in the lobby since the building was originally built in 1984.

of the building of the wall. The conceptual piece speaks to construction and
façades in a period leading up to the
2010 Olympic Games. The wall is both
a sample of current construction and a
façade. Its role as a screen questions

using collaged skin gleaned from erotic publications. The portraits work with
the connections and disconnections
between celebrity representation, the
obscene and the production of cultural
iconography.

David Claerbout
MORRIS AND HELEN BELKIN ART GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Oct 10-Dec 7 Currently exhibiting at
UBC’s Morris and Helen Belkin Gallery is a selection of video installations from 1996 onwards by Belgian artist David Claerbout. Central to Claerbout’s work with still photography and moving images
(characterized by one writer as “filmic narratives”) is
the concept of time in its various guises: fast time,
slow time, duration of time, passing time, stopping
time. As anchor points for the perception of time,
Claerbout frequently uses the changing light of
dawn, sunlight, shadows and darkness as well as
wind, clouds and trees.
The mystifying videos he creates are reminiscent
of the work of Stan Douglas and Rodney Graham.
Post-modernist to the core, like his contemporaries
Claerbout doesn’t appear to convey any messages
through his work; rather he ponders the nature of
perception, concepts of permanence and change, as David Claerbout, Long Goodbye (2007), single channel video
well as recounting what he describes as “the sub- installation, colour, 1600 x 1200 progressive, 13 min 44 sec
stance of time”. The Belkin Art Gallery exhibition [Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery, Vancouver BC – Oct
includes Claerbout’s Bordeaux Piece (2004), nearly 10-Dec 7]
14 hours in length and comprised of 70 short films
shot by the artist at 10 minute intervals between 5:30 am and 10:00 pm over the course of several
days.
David Claerbout was born in 1969 in Kortrjik, Belgium, and lives and works in Antwerp. Since
the late 1990s, his work has been exhibited widely in international institutions and is included in
public collections such as Sammlung Goetz, Museum für Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt, De Pont Foundation, Boijmans van Beuningen, Hamburger Bahnhof, Centre Georges Pompidou Musée National
d’Art Moderne. The exhibition is curated by Scott Watson and is a collaboration with the Rennie Collection, Vancouver, Canada. Mia Johnson

Conservator’s Corner
BY REBECCA PAVITT
WWW.FINEARTCONSERVE.COM
Is she is or is she not an Emily?
His intention was to buy a lottery ticket. But, en route
he popped into the local thrift store for a quick looksee and decided to buy a print instead. Once home,
he unframed it for a closer look and discovered that
he may have hit the jackpot after all. The "print" was
an original watercolour, and a peek under the window matte revealed a signature that looked an awful
lot like "M Emily Carr".
Enter art appraiser Kathleen Laverty. She thought
that the client may well have found an early Emily
Carr, and set out to see what she could find. First, she Unattributed "Emily Carr" watercolour before conservation treatresearched the image itself. Through the magic of ment, with window matte removed showing adhesive residue and
Google, she actually found a photo of a Vancouver fragments from first and second window matting
Island lake that showed a vista very similar to the one
in the painting. It was of Cameron Lake, near Port
Alberni.
Next, the signature. She at first thought that the
new owner had skinned part of it off when he peeled
back the window matte. Closer examination proved
the client to be innocent. The signature had been
skinned, but it was an earlier framer who had com- Signature detail
mitted the crime.
Enter me, paper conservator, Rebecca Pavitt. My
task was to remove the matting to reveal the edges
and the reverse of the painting. As it appeared to me,
the painting was glued overall to a paperboard backing, and a window matte was glued to the edges of
the art. It had had a double thickness window matte,
and the top mat had been removed by the owner.
I thinned the remaining matte, softened the adhesive with humidity, and slowly peeled it away. Adhesive and paper residue on the edges of the artwork After conservation treatment
(which were not related to the present matting
removal) showed that the watercolour had been mounted and framed at least twice, and that an earlier matting removal had skinned and torn the edges of the artwork.
Although no inscriptions were found on the reverse of the painting, backing and window matte
removal did allow a watermark in the paper to be read when held up to a bright light. All of the lettering is not clear, but it does include the word "England".
Finding an identical watermark on a known Carr painting would be another point in favour of
authenticating the watercolour, but to date, Kathleen has not been able to access collections that contain early Carrs for a close comparison of painting style and paper types.
Various authorities who have viewed the painting have been unable to say that it is a work by
Carr; nor have they been able to say that it is not. The jury is still out. The client will need to wait for
further research findings to know if he did indeed pick a lucky number that day and make the find of
a lifetime.

Leonard Cohen Artworks
LINDA LANDO FINE ART, VANCOUVER BC – DEC 5-31 Leonard Cohen Artworks is an exhibition of
lively reproductions based on images from an archive of drawings and journals created by Canadian musician Leonard Cohen over the past 40 years. Cohen, well
known as a poet, songwriter and novelist, has kept visual records
and sketches throughout his career. Recently the drawings have
been used in CD cover art and published in his Book of Longing
(2006), a volume of his philosophical meditations.
The mediums for the original drawings ranged from doodles
on napkins, watercolour sketches, oil pastels, and charcoal drawings to digital images drawn on a Wacom tablet and imported into
Photoshop. Many have heavy black outlines. The artwork was
reproduced with permanent pigmented ink on 300 lb. Arches
watercolour paper, and first shown in an exhibition called Drawn
to Words: Visual Works from 40 Years that premiered at Toronto's
Drabinsky Gallery in June, 2007. They were subsequently shown

Liz Magor: The Mouth and other storage facilities
facilities presents a group of recent work by Vancouver artist Liz Magor. Real objects and cast
sculptures -- food trays, clothing, such "culturally loaded" items as cigarettes, liquor, and candy,
and the bodies of small animals like a raccoon and a mouse – are combined in startling accretions that continue her practice of investigation into issues of authenticity and representation.
They also demonstrate her skill in using sculpture
as a way to "confound the boundary" between the
real and the imagined.
Throughout her prominent career, Magor has
explored the relationship of the real to the simulated in numerous provocative ways. In particular, her
work has used concepts of wilderness to examine
themes of refuge, domesticity, survivalism, consumption, and the dilemma of finding identity in
modern society.
For more than 30 years, Liz Magor has exhibited
internationally in such prestigious exhibitions as
the Venice Biennale, the Sydney Biennale, and Doc- Liz Magor, Raccoon (detail), 2008, polymerized gypsum

Making Merry: The Circus and Carnival in Graphic Art
PORTLAND ART MUSEUM, BEQUEST OF CHARLES HENRY LEAVITT
PORTLAND ART MUSEUM, PORTLAND OR – Oct 11-Jan 4 Making Merry: The Circus and Carnival in
Graphic Art traces the development of festivals, masquerades, street theatre and the modern circus,
which was first held in London in 1770. The exhibit of poignant
prints and drawings includes work by artists dating from the 17th
century to current times: from Goya, Picasso, Chagall, and Max
Beckmann to contemporary Northwest artists such as Manuel
Izquierdo and George Johanson.
The earliest pieces in this exhibit, Jacques Callot's series Balli di
Sfessania from the 1620s, capture the gestures and costumes of
dances by Italian improvisational acting troops, whose performances
were in the genre of Commedia dell'Arte. British artist William Hogarth depicts a satirical disarray of street fairs in Southwark Fair
(1733) in all of its chaos and collapse. Georges Rouault's series of
colour aquatints in his bold gestural style, includes characters
like The Little Horse Woman and a melancholy clown who symbolize
the human struggle. Black and white traditional etchings, drypoints
and lithographs dominate the exhibit.
Styles and approaches include everything from festive images of

Edward Hopper's Women
SEATTLE ART MUSEUM, SEATTLE WA – Nov 13-Mar 1 Edward Hopper's iconic imagery of everyday
American cityscapes, lonely gas stations, railroads and empty night-time street scenes depict modern life during the first half of the twentieth century. While other styles of art were gaining precedence, Hopper remained unaffected and committed to
his own branch of realism.
Hopper captures people interacting in urban and
rural environments with stark deliberation as well as
capturing insights into human vulnerability. In Edward
Hopper's Women, a concentrated group of paintings and
etchings, the work shows the changing roles of women
in society as they populated cafes, theatres, restaurants
and other public spaces in late 1920s New York, where
Hopper resided.
Centred around his famous piece Chop Suey from
1929, Hopper's women evoke a sense of introspection Edward Hopper, Automat (1922), oil on canvas [Seattle
and solitude amongst the interiors of the simplified Art Museum, Seattle WA – Nov 13-Mar 1]

shapes, strong compositional lines and moody quality of light give his paintings a cinematic feel

Catherine Grisez
WILLIAM TRAVER GALLERY, TACOMA WA – Dec 13-Feb 8 In new metal sculptures, Seattle artist
Catherine Grisez has derived imagery from underground root systems and from the inhabitants of
such ecosystems. Suspended from the walls and ceiling of the gallery, her intimate sculptures of hollow
organic shapes are fabricated primarily from hammered copper and other sheet metal. Set within
them, detailed elements made from electroformed
carved wax provide most of the intricacy in these
pieces.
The installation creates an imaginary subterranean environment. Grisez's simple forms largely
resemble seed pods, some of which appear to be
split open. In Transmutation, the delicately textured
innards resemble the interior of a pomegranate. In
other works, the biomorphic forms are more
ambiguous. Obscure egg-like specimens appear to
represent larval states or to characterize a reproductive phase. For example, in Lil' Pumper, the bulbous copper suggests skin bursting with the pres- Catherine Grisez, Trust, copper, sterling silver, aventurine
sure of new life.
[William Traver Gallery, Tacoma WA – Dec 13-Feb 8]
Grisez was initially trained as a jeweller and
often sets coral and gemstones such as garnet, moonstone and opal into her pristinely crafted
works. Informed by a personal narrative, Grisez's works become a metaphor for the ongoing emotional growth and change that we undergo as human beings. Cyclic processes include letting go of
restrictive feelings, moving from dark to light states of being, and believing in the ability of the
universe to provide abundance. Allyn Cantor

Exhibition Catalogues of Interest
WHAT IS A TRADE? DONALD FELS AND SIGNBOARD PAINTERS OF SOUTH
INDIA is an insightful catalogue that explores an exhibition on view at the
Tacoma Art Museum until January 18. Fels travelled to India and collaborated
with local billboard painters whose trade recently has recently been displaced
by digital technologies. The provocative text examines the effects of globalization, presents a multitude of examples from the exhibition, and provides explanations of individual works. The book includes essays by curators and scholars as well as commentaries by Donald Fels.
Softcover, 80 pages, $21.95 USD, available from: [email protected]
or telephone: (253)272-4258.
MANDY GREER: DARE ALLA LUCE was published as a catalogue for the Belle-
vue Arts Museum exhibit earlier this year. The monograph traces the last
decade of the diverse and sensual mixed-media work by this Seattle-based
artist through a series of exhibit images, close-up shots and essays by the
Museum’s curators. It documents Greer’s largest installation work to date, conceived for this show, and highlights details of her braiding, beading and other
techniques. A chronology, biography and exhibition checklist are included.
Softcover, 40 pages, $22 USD. Available at Bellevue Arts Museum Store, (425)519-0722.
SCULPTURE WOODS: STUDIO GROUNDS OF ANN MORRIS (Museum of
Northwest Art 2008) is a 144-page book that traces Morris' artistic development from her earliest work in two dimensions through her monumental figurative bronzes to her current series entitled Bone Journey. Morris has created
an extraordinary 15-acre bronze park called Sculpture Woods on Lummi
Island in north Puget Sound. Essays by Ted Lindberg and Jake Seniuk
describe her artistic development and images include pictures of the 16 massive sculptural tableaux in the park.
Hardcover, 144 pages, $35 USD. Available from Lisa Harris Gallery, Seattle, (206)433-3315.
DOMESTIC VACATIONS is a large hardcover book that presents the work of
Missouri artist Julie Blackmon, a mother of three and an extraordinary photographer. The book contains full-page colour vignettes of children, pets, toys
and the disarray of rooms where children live and play. The photos embrace
the everyday with wit and charm and simultaneously move into the surreal
and dreamlike with their amazing compositions and narratives. Described as
“rich and playful, with an undercurrent of stress and dysfunction”, Blackmon’s
work is endlessly rich and insightful.
Hardcover, $50 USD. Available from G. Gibson Gallery, Seattle. (206)587-4033.
FIFTEEN RESTLESS NIGHTS by Derek Michael Besant is a startling small volume of solarized photographs and short stories. The exhibit at the Kelowna
Art Gallery, curated by Liz Wylie, combined mixed-media and sound elements
in a visual/aural record of Besant’s 15 nights driving across Canada and staying in budget motels. The black and white images of unmade beds provide a
captivating backbone to the brief anecdotal fiction.
Softcover, $10 CDN black and white, 60 pages. Available from:
