The imagery of “Jane's Journey” presents a para-

autobiographical fairytale. It resonates with irony and

humor in its individualistic detail and yet remains

starkly archetypal in its anonymity. It's compositional

subtext of geometric supremacy saturated in the

colour schemes of a de Chirico or Diebenkorn, supply

these unnervingly depopulated travel-scapes, with

eerie significance. They transcend 'Jane' and reach

toward 'Jainism' searching for spiritual independence,

for a state of equanimity. Bonnie Baxter's 'Jane'

hovers dramatically and poignantly between the

requirements of the present and the desire for eternity.

Christine Unger

Artist’s Statement

I believe in bold colours and strong images made subtle through

layers of content. I see that life is not complicated, but it is dense,

and that it is easy to get caught in this density - a tiny insect in a

mass of layers, struggling to find the surface. I would rather see these

layers as opportunities, evidence of the simultaneity, synchronicity,

serendipity that abounds in life. And so, my work is about layers,

whether in print or in video imagery. To see the sense and beauty

in diversity—to find transcendence in the commonplace and to see

that the extraordinary is common. With my series “Jane’s Journey,”

I cover fresh ground by treading old paths. In the persona of “Jane”

I traveled across Europe and the United States to see how they, and

I, have changed, and how memory and time have their own way

of layering imagery.

A word from the guest curator

The State of Jane constitutes a photographic project by Bonnie Baxter. It is built around a single individual, Jane, who through her insertion into a variety of sites and landscapes, makes a statement that is at once biographical, cinematic, and imaginary. Primarily, Jane is a visual composition. As such, her construction becomes an affirmation of the photographic subject and within it, is woven an ensuing critical stance on the female psyche. The project also draws other practices in its wake that have piqued interest in photography and video in recent years; notably auto-fiction and the way in which it differs from the self-portrait. The series wraps itself in the aspect of auto-fiction to better keep its strategies at a critical distance.

The real—and unreal—fall under scrutiny in this project; such is photography today that digital technology can appropriate, manipulate, and evoke pure fiction, despite being modeled on reality. And there may or may not be, reality, supported by “what has been” (the famous “ça a été” of Barthes), as, in this case, the sites featured seem to have been visited or re-visited. The entire focus revolves around a single person, viewed over and over again as in a family photo album and in as many venues. The choice of venues borders on the cliché: Paris, the Tuscan countryside, the American southwest, and Route 66 that leads to it. Thus photography plays this other role: a documentary one, carrying us along to witness what it ultimately produces, what it roots out, how it inevitably reconstructs the site to create an idealized artificiality. Set against the recurring presence of Jane, these larger than life shots tell a story over time, a story now void of drama; any that might have been, is gone, relegated to memory. What emerges is another way to restore the use of photography to oneself, to the self, helping affirm this presence, her presence, a presence merged into the site like some interior landscape.

Who then is this other person, this ‘other’ of the artist whose existence is confirmed, if only by her perambulations around the planet? We may see her as a subject, and given her attributes, a female subject with no intention of disguise. Perhaps persona is a better interpretation, a highly autonomous creature, an offshoot of the artist’s thoughts, but one with, and shaped by, her own disposition. She acts, she reflects, and she expresses, as is borne out in the

aesthetic position reinforced by the series. She seems to reveal a certain destiny, itself a re-affirmation of the subject, yet she determinedly resists being drawn into the narration. This resistance is no doubt due to the fact that each image seems suspended in time, further energizing the series. And that suspension gradually gives way to contemplation, notably of the landscape. There is also the sense of a retrospective gaze in that suspension of time (Jane is from a certain age), yet this gaze is never revealed to us. The blond coiffure—the wig—has lost the platinum blond flamboyance of one’s prime, and the clothing and poses suggest none of the illustrative imperatives dictated by the code of fashion. In fact, what we see is our subject facing an urge to spurn the photographic corps, who have long toyed with female seduction and its many facets, leading to its objectification through domination of the eye of the viewer. The eye here is that of the subject herself, surveying the scene and inviting us to survey it as well. It is hardly surprising that her back is to us at all times, that she is so often in the foreground, yet virtually excluded from the field of the photograph itself. The wig becomes our constant, our index.

And she has a name: Jane, an educational icon, synonymous with the “Dick and Jane” books that taught generations of North American schoolchildren to read. But which, in the process, brashly imposed cultural and social values: those of a white, comfortable middle class with pre-defined behaviors and expectations, the class that epitomized the American way of life after World War II, the class of would-be universal contentment. Our Jane is from this world, but she has escaped it. She has sought out her own life experiences. She has individualized herself. She has put time (inseparable from photography, which snatches it up and discards it somewhere) between the memory, the broken fragments of fiction, the moments of reflection, and the affirmation of a state of being, which the landscape returns to her, in contemplation.

Jane is about all of this, and by inference, she, is about Bonnie Baxter.

Rose Désarroi

Denise Desautels

d’habitude les yeux portent, même lourds / qui sommes-nous, de dos, sans miracle / les arbres aujourd’hui n’existent presque plus / la pierre seule, masse vert vif / les bras et le cuivre qui gît par terre / corps de désir ou de désordre / visages aveugles au ras du sol, crevés / leur immensité pleurant, bruissant

d’une scène à l’autre, c’est pareil / l’univers en deux / qui sommes-nous / fatales, bataillon de blondes sous le turquoise / épiant ciel clos et carcasses / ce qu’il y a de feu, ce qu’il y a d’épées derrière les masques / dans l’autre langue soudain / l’autoportrait, sa résonance / pointée vers l’infini, who am I

le rêve d’emprunt ironise violemment / entre rose désarroi et végétation monumentale / who am I, perruque plaquée en plein voyage / terre bouffonne, je joue / jaune graffiti à la une, avec maintes femmes / nos nuques aux aguets sous l’éclaboussure / nos mains comme des mouches / hors cadre, ça murmure

ça dit grand, la regardeuse regardée / l’océan dans la peau / assise, humaine sans condition / mon œil droit devant mord / la moitié encre du tableau, son pan d’écume et d’histoire / juste au bas de l’autre, l’ocre, l’agitée / tachée d’objets tranchants qui volent / voyez de près le va-et-vient / je pars mais ne quitte pas

touchez / collez un seul mot, passage / côté empreinte et plage, mes ongles creusent une pensée / dépouille et pas recto verso / avec l’automne poignant comme preuve / de gauche à droite à gauche, là / soleil de profil, je ne cède pas / éclatante et ombre sur mes gardes / je ravage, caresse / parfois touche le fond

Rose Disarray

Denise Desautels (translation: Alisa Bélanger)

usually the eyes gaze, even heavy / who are we, from behind, without miracles / the trees today hardly exist anymore / only the stone, bright green mass / the arms and brass that lie on the ground / bodies in desire or disorder / blind faces against the soil, exhausted / their immensity crying, clamoring

from one scene to another, it’s the same / the universe in two/ who are we / battalion of fatal blonds under the turquoise/ on the look-out for closed sky and carcasses / what there is by way of fire, by way of swords behind the masks / in the other language suddenly / the self-portrait, its resonance, pointed toward the infinite qui suis-je

the borrowed dream is violently ironic / between rose dismay and monumental vegetation / qui suis-je, a wig ditched in the middle of a trip / land of jest, I’m playing / yellow graffiti as first-page news, with so many women / our necks lie in wait under the splatter / our hands like flies / beyond the frame, it murmurs

it says much, the watching woman watched / the ocean in the skin / sitting, human with no condition / my eye sinks right in straight ahead / the ink half of the picture, its patch of froth and history / just beneath the other, the ochre, the agitated woman / stained by sharp objects that fly / look well, you, at the comings-and-goings / I’m leaving but don’t depart

touch, I tell you / stick a single word, passage / print and beach side, my nails scratch a thought deeper / skin hide and recto verso step / with the poignant autumn as proof / from left to right to left, there / sun in profile, I don’t yield / radiant woman and shadow on guard / I ravage, stroke / sometimes touch rock bottom

Jane’s body found at the bottom of Val-David construction site

(by Christine Unger)

The tragic and untimely death of Jane, a self-proclaimed iconic figure in the North American art scene, seems like something out of a paperback novel. The circumstances of her death are still being investigated but a statement from the police confirmed evidence of foul play. It was only a few years ago that suspicions of Jane’s death arose when her wig was found floating in a shallow pool next to her trademark red boat on the California coast near her mother's home, but without other evidence the police could see no reason to investigate further at the time. Rumours of Jane’s presence in China then lulled concerned friends into believing that Jane was simply on one more of her famous “Journey’s.”

A recent photograph of Jane in China is now believed to be what print artists like to call an “interpretation” of Jane’s earlier work and police are questioning the gallery in hope of tracing it back to its source. There is evidence to support that Jane’s China-doppelgänger may be involved in her murder. Police are asking that anyone with information about Jane come forward. A reward is being posted by her partner Dick.

Police are also following up sightings of Jane’s enormous Wolf-hound Spot (seen in the photograph below) around the area where her body was discovered. Large footprints, matching those of Spot were detected circling around the body. The body was discovered only miles from Jane’s home studio where she worked during most of her career as an artist. While she was her own most frequent subject matter her neighbors were shocked to hear that her death may have been the result of foul-play. All insisted that despite her glamorous appearance in her art she was the soul of generosity, the best neighbor you could hope for, quiet, loyal and dedicated to the preservation of her village environment.

There is evidence that her small apartment in Montreal may have been used briefly by the doppelgänger. Her landlady noted that Jane had always been a very quiet resident and that she had been offended by recent occurrences of loud music and late parties below. They had always had a strict agreement about not smoking as well and the landlady distinctly recalls the odour of cigars two weeks earlier. “I couldn’t believe it when I called to Jane in the street and she didn’t even turn her head or nod hello. I’m so sorry I didn’t say anything to anyone at the time, but no one listens anymore and she may just have been preoccupied, she’s had a lot on her mind. I didn’t want to be indiscrete,” said Jane’s landlady.

Could this be a case of stolen identity, a stalker, cover-up for an accident, a crime of passion or, as is so often the case in these troubled times, a crime of faceless violence, an outburst of anger against the society which Jane had made it her lifetime endeavor to expose. Was her irony and humor lost on one of the masses of unhappy people who believed she represented the privileged few?

We may never know the truth...****

Richard GAGNIER: biographical note

Richard Gagnier has been the Head of Conservation at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts since fall 2007. He spent the previous 23 years at the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa where he worked as Assistant-conservator and Conservator of Contemporary Art. After initial studies in Chemistry and Art History at the University of Montreal, he completed his education with the course requirements for the Master in Art Conservation at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario.

Parallel to his profession as Conservator he pursues a career as an independent curator of contemporary art, working within the Quebec artist-run center network, in particular with Axe Néo-7in Gatineau (Hull). He has been the guest curator of numerous exhibitions, including group exhibitions where the works of Jérôme Fortin, Marc Audette, Annie Thibault, Marie-Jeanne Musiol, Michael A. Robinson and Miguel Berlanga were featured as well as solo exhibitions of Shelagh Keeley, François Lacasse, Liliana Berezowsky and Lisette Lemieux. In collaboration with Jacques Doyon he conceived and organised an international group exhibition of Installation art at The Diefenbunker, Museum of War (Carp, ON) entitled Singular Fission in 2000. During the nineties, he instigated three conceptual projects as fundraising exhibitions for Axe Néo-7: Paying Homage to a gift of Eva Hesse to Sol Lewitt (1991), De causis et tractatibus (1994), Brancusi: in question (1997). He has published many texts, pamphlets and critical articles for contemporary art magazines and exhibition catalogues.

Recently, he was invited as guest curator for two exhibitions of the work of Frédéric Back: A Life’s Drawings for The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, in Los Angeles, summer 2008, and L’Alsace de Frédéric Back, in Strasbourg at la maison de l’Alsace, in spring 2009. These two projects were focused on Back’s drawing practice, particularly with the construction of his own imaginary image sources based on drawings made from direct observation of recurrent themes in nature. This method lead him to develop the elaborate motifs which subsequently informed his animated film practise, as much as their subject matter or the way in which he illustrated them.

Bonnie BAXTER: biographical note

Bonnie Baxter was born in Texarkana, Texas and has had a studio and residence in Val-David, Quebec since 1969. She is a multi-disciplinary artist who has maintained an extensive exhibition record both nationally and internationally for 4 decades. Her work ranges from public-art installations to large-scale pieces in print media, video projection and sculpture.

She studied at Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan and received an MFA degree from Vermont College, Norwich University and has lectured extensively and given workshops in Canada, Mexico, USA, Turkey and China. She has taught in Concordia University’s Print Media Program since 1984.

In 1985 she founded the custom print studio the Atelier du Scarabée which collaborates and produces etchings, relief prints and screen-prints for a select group of artists in the mountain village of Val-David, Quebec. Under the commissions of Galerie Meaght Lelong (Paris), Philippe Briet Gallery (New York City), Moos Gallery (Toronto), and Esperanza Gallery (Montreal), the Atelier du Scarabée was responsible for the production of all Jean-Paul Riopelle’s etchings from 1985 to 1995.

In 2005 The Musée d’art contemporain des Laurentides presented Rewind, a 10 year survey of Baxter’s work; the exhibition then traveled across Canada and the USA. In 2009 she presented large format digital prints from her series Jane’s Journey at the Centre d’exposition de Val-David. The prints then traveled on to Division Gallery in Montreal and then the University of Sherbrooke Gallery in 2010 and the Angell Gallery in Toronto and the McMichael Canadian Art Collection in Kleinburg, Ontario in 2011.

Baxter has been awarded grants from The Counseil des arts et des lettres du Québec, Canada Council for the arts and the Concordia University Part-Time Faculty Association. Her work has received awards from international print biennials in Bhopal, India and Taiwan, R.O.C. and in 2005 in the context of the Grands Prix de la culture des Laurentides she was awarded the Prix à la création artistique from Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec.

Baxter was one of a small group of artists invited to represent Canada at the 6th Novosibirsk International Print Biennial in Russia, 2008. In 2009 she was invited to attend a residency at the The Guanlan Print Base in China. She is one of only 10 artists across Canada invited to participate in the New World exhibition and international symposium on nontraditional works that redefine new approaches to media and materials in printmaking. Organized by the Municipal Museum of Györ, the New World exhibition will be held in Hungary in 2013.
