V I G N E T T E S • February/March 2015Alberta VIEW FROM A WINDOWArt Gallery of Alberta, Edmonton, Dec 6-Mar1 Photographs by four exceptional Canadian artists, Edward Bur-tynsky, Robin Collyer, Eamon MacMahon and Laura St. Pierre,challenge our understanding of the interface between untouchedwilderness and the human-altered landscape. Images range frommassive mining and industrial sites to deserted urban scenes andfrom the homes of the privileged to the improvised shelters of thehomeless. The show’s title is a reference to an early 19th-centuryphotograph by Nicéphore Niépce, one of the pioneers of themedium.

5 CAMERAS REPRISE & DIANA THORNEYCROFT Christine KlassenGallery, Calgary, Jan 29-Mar 7 Gary Campbell, Ben Cope, SarahFuller, Michael Levin and Colin Smith appear for the second timein a group exhibition that ranges across photographic styles, formsand techniques. Including images of endangered tribes, landscapetropes, portraits of celebrities, and furnished interiors reconfiguredby a camera obscura, this show inspires wonder and admiration.Also on view are Winnipeg artist Diana Thorneycroft’s colourphotos of cheeky and satirical dioramas on the nature of Canadianidentity.

OH, CANADA: CONTEMPORARY ART FROM NORTH NORTH AMERI-CA Various venues, Calgary, Jan 31-Apr 26 This landmark exhibi-tion, which debuted at the Massachusetts Museum of Contem-porary Art in 2012, is so large and comprehensive that it is beingpresented at four Calgary sites: Esker Foundation, Glenbow,Illingworth Kerr Gallery and Nickle Galleries. To bring ittogether, American curator Denise Markonish spent three yearscrossing Canada, visiting studios and consulting with curatorsand artists. Among the nearly 60 artists represented are RebeccaBelmore, Shary Boyle, Douglas Coupland, Marcel Dzama, Wan-da Koop and Kent Monkman.

KYLE BEAL: ELECTRIC PARK Douglas Udell Gallery, Edmonton, Mar14-28 Riffing on found images of a destructive fire at a New Jer-sey amusement park, Kyle Beal has produced linked series ofdrawings, inkjet prints and wall-mounted objects. This reimagin-ing of the original event speaks to notions of spectacle and leisureas well as to issues of representation. The prints use souvenir post-cards from “Funtown Pier” to construct fictional characters andnarratives, while the mixed-media objects reinterpret formal, aes-thetic and textual elements associated with amusement parks.

JEFF NACHTIGALL: WILD MEN Newzones, Calgary, Mar 14-May 2Saskatchewan artist Jeff Nachtigall quotes a range of styles, formatsand media in his humorous investigation of the wild man figure –here deployed as a form of self-portraiture. The wild man of thewoods has appeared widely in art, legends and lore across time andplace. While he can sometimes symbolize a violent and uncivilizedperson, a “savage,” he can also represent a being who lives in a stateof nature, repudiating all that makes up contemporary society.

Future Station: Alberta Biennial of Contemporary ArtART GALLERY OF ALBERTA, EDMONTON AB – Jan 24-May 3, 2015 Now approaching its 20thanniversary, the Alberta Biennial is one of the oldest such exhibitions in this country, and is distinctfrom longer-standing biennials because of its open-call process. However, like the more storiedbiennials, Alberta’s employs aguest curator. This year it ispublic art expert Kirsty Trinier atthe helm.

Titled Future Station, namedafter an abandoned light rapidtransit stop beneath Edmonton’scivic centre, the 2015 biennialexhibition is described in the pro-motional materials as “a physicaland allegorical place of transitionand stasis: part urban mythologyand part monument to the banali-ty of dormant infrastructure” – anappropriate metaphor when oneconsiders an emerging generationthat spends more time negotiat-ing the world through its mobiledevices than by city bus or train.

Most of the 40-plus artistsparticipating this year hail from Calgary and Edmonton. Those living outside Alberta’s biggestcities include Sundre’s Jude Griebel, High Prairie’s Robin Lambert, Rich Lake’s Amy Malbeuf,and St. Albert’s Brad Necyk. Michael Turner

Antonia Hirsch: Negative SpaceSOUTHERN ALBERTA ART GALLERY, LETHBRIDGE AB – Feb 14-Apr 12, 2015 Volume, space and orderare key variables in the pictures, sculptures and book works that have emerged from Antonia Hirsch’sstudio since her arrival in Vancouver in the mid-1990s. Now a resident of Berlin, the German-bornartist has shifted from anthropometric and geographic representations to installations that evokemetaphysical questions concern-ing the interrelationship of innerand outer worlds.

In this installation, Hirschemploys a range of materials,objects and lighting regimes to sit-uate the viewer in what amountsto a cosmos – a space where trans-parency and reflection are compli-cated with the use of a free-stand-ing clear glass screen and a wall-mounted obsidian mirror, andwhere discarded mobile devicesdesigned to relay information arearranged as modules in a staticform.

Most notable is an anamor-phic video projection of what at first appears to be an asteroid hurtling through space but is in fact alife form associated with the earth from which it grows: a potato. That the optimal view of this pro-jection is from behind the glass screen – which has a similarly ambiguous image of an “asteroid”affixed to it – only reminds us of what we think we are seeing.

Crossed: Ahmad TabriziGRUNT GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Jan 15-Feb 21, 2015 Vancouver’s post-Expo ’86 film, televisionand gaming industry has had an enormous impact on the city’s art scene, but in a mixed way.

Every art school graduating class has astory to tell of a talented young artistwhose studio practice got set aside forjobs in set decoration, carpentry orcomputer-generated imagery.

For those at Emily Carr University ofArt + Design in the early 1990s, AhmadTabrizi might be remembered as one suchartist, though he has made occasionalcontributions to gallery events. Howappropriate, then, that in his first soloexhibition in recent memory, Tabrizicrosses materials related to his work incostume design with the petite genre ofportraiture.

Tabrizi’s crossing strategy includesmore than just the literal play of dress-making pins laid out in the shape of ahead. In the exhibition’s promotionalimage, the ground on which this pinhead and its cut-out eyes appear containsa diagonally rendered Farsi text. Viewers

unfamiliar with Farsi will have to do better than to ask questions of this mouthless face, particularlywhen the only other option is to listen. Michael Turner

Eloquent Objects: Georgia O’Keeffe andStill Life Art in New MexicoTACOMA ART MUSEUM, TACOMA WA – Mar 1-Jun 7, 2015 This major exhibit focuses on the role of

still-life art in New Mexico during the first half of the20th century, and brings together the work of GeorgiaO’Keeffe and her contemporaries. O’Keeffe is a preemi-nent American artist best known for her softly huedpaintings of enlarged floral subjects. The AmericanSouthwest was a primary inspiration in her work. In 1929,she spent the first of many summers painting in NewMexico, before relocating there from New York in 1949.Her iconic paintings of sun-bleached bones and starkdesert landscapes are some of the most captivating of herartistic oeuvre. Twenty-two of her pieces are includedhere, making up about a third of the entire show.

Among the still-life works by other important mod-ernists are those by Marsden Hartley and Stuart Davis. Aswell, the work of artists from major art centres in NewMexico are featured – Gustave Baumann, CatherineCritcher and Eliseo Rodriguez among them.

Here is a pioneering generation of artistic visions,told through the unusual objects, forms and sense oflight and colour felt in the unique American Southwestdesert. Together, these works reveal something intimateabout place and time. Much of the binding artistic sub-

ject matter in the exhibit is drawn from daily details, evoking still-life compositions as very personalimpressions of the region from the 1920s to the 1950s, when many of these artists were refining theirpersonal modern style. O’Keeffe and other artists who travelled west helped establish a dynamiccommunity of artists who found aesthetic delight in New Mexico’s vast beauty. Allyn Cantor

Ancestry and Artistry: Maya Textiles from GuatemalaTHE REACH GALLERY MUSEUM, ABBOTSFORD BC – Jan 22-Apr 26, 2015 The Spanish word trajetranslates to English as suit or dress. In Guatemala, traje refers specifically to the traditional dress ofthe Maya, both as a garment and as a signifier of everything from one’s ancestral lineage to one’scommunity.

But cultures, no matterhow long established, are notstatic. This might explainwhy the curator RoxanneShaughnessy has woven intoher exhibition the work ofcontemporary Guatemalanartists Andrea Aragón andVerónica Riedel and Ameri-can photojournalist Jean-Marie Simon: her aim is tohighlight the effect of global-ization on the traje today.

In Aragón’s photographs,we can see evidence of aGuatemalan housing boomfunded by the thousands ofGuatemalans who have leftthe country to work in the United States. For Riedel, the focus is mestizas, “women who are of mixedwhite and Maya blood.” And for Simon, author of the 1998 book Guatemala: Eternal Spring, EternalTyranny, the focus is civil war.Michael Turner

Originally trained in geologyand then in functional pottery, Kathi Hofmann made the leap tosculpture in 2013. Her recent work combines hand-built ceramicforms with found objects and other materials, such as rope, bitsof hardware and small pieces of furniture. In her artist’s state-ment, Hofmann speaks of “the dramas of materials … theirinherent qualities, how they are connected, and the emotionalresonances they provoke.”

JEFF WILSON: 60� º NORTH: SHETLAND Maple Ridge Art Gallery,Maple Ridge, Jan 10-Feb 28 The tropical colours of Jeff Wilson’spaintings stand in brilliant contrast to the place they depict: therainy, grey Shetland Islands, a subarctic archipelago off thenorthern coast of Scotland and the site of the artist’s recent resi-dency. Born in Scotland, based in Vancouver and with a PhD inmining engineering, Wilson now devotes himself full time topainting. His work reveals influences from a range of sources,including Scottish Realist painters of the late 19th century.

CAROL PRUSA: OVERFLOW Jennifer Kostuik Gallery, Vancouver, Jan29-Feb 22 Florida-based artist Carol Prusa specializes in the classi-cal medium of metal point drawing.

Prusa’s intensely detailed, almost hallucinogenic silver-point and graphite drawings range from the cosmic to the micro-cosmic. Physics, mathematics, geometry and cosmology inspire herexplorations of multiple universes, realities and possibilities.

VISUALIZING A CULTURE FOR STRANGERS: CHINESE EXPORTPAINTINGS OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY Burnaby Art Gallery,Burnaby, Jan 30-Mar 29 The paintings on view in this show werecreated in Guangzhou (Canton) for export to the West. Workingin Western media such as oil paint and watercolour, Chineseartists catered to a taste for scenes of everyday life, includingimages of city streets and dockyards, game playing, opium smok-ing, weddings, funerals and the manufacturing of furniture andporcelain. As well, Chinese export painters gratified a gruesomeWestern taste for images of executions and physical punishment.

McLean employs these antique methods to record contem-porary subjects, from giant trucks to subway commuters, alongwith photo graphy’s traditional subjects, such as landscapes, gardensheds and star-filled night skies. His intention is to reignite inter-est in the way photographs are made and perceived in a worldawash in digital images.

The 27 coloured-pencil and graphiteworks on view demonstrate, too, her ability to bridge generationsand cultures. At the forefront of Inuit graphic art, Ningeokulukwrote and illustrated the acclaimed children’s book Alego, nomi-nated for a Governor General’s award in 2009.

THE PHOTOGRAPHS OF ALLEN GINSBERG (1953–1996) PresentationHouse Gallery, North Vancouver, Feb 21-Apr 5 Renowned as a prolif-ic poet of the Beat Generation, Allen Ginsberg was also a compos-er, archivist and photographer. He used the camera to documenthis life and times, taking pictures of friends, lovers, muses and fel-low writers, among them Jack Kerouac, Lucien Carr, Neal Cassadyand William S. Burroughs. Wonderfully titled We Are ContinuallyExposed to the Flashbulb of Death, this exhibition of photographs alsocalls up Ginsberg’s interests in music, political freedom and Bud-dhist philosophy.

KEEWATIN WOMEN IN STONE Spirit Wrestler Gallery, Vancouver,Mar 14-Apr 4 The stone carvers of Keewatin (now officiallyKivalliq) are known for the minimal or semi-abstract style of theirwork. The two renowned artists featured here, Lucy TasseorTutsweetok (1934–2012) and Camille Iquliq (1963–2005), sharedan interest in the subjects of mothers and children and familygroups. However, Tasseor’s sculptures are angular and shallowlyincised, while Iquliq’s are more deeply carved, with gently roundedcurves and folds – each artist immensely expressive in her own way.

Geometry of Knowing (Part 3) SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY GALLERY, BURNABY BC – Mar 21-May 15, 2015 For this four-part,multi-venue exhibition, curators Amy Kazymerchyk and Melanie O’Brian have gathered a rangeof artists in an effort to lay bare “approaches to the acquisition of knowledge in the full mind-body-spirit sense of intelligence.” Most of these approaches – “tactics of fieldwork, embodimentand materiality” – are evident; others are fleshed out through artist talks.

Part 3 of Geometry of Knowing is a curious mix that includes works by Black Mountain colouristJosef Albers, mid-century Van-couver painter and designerB.C. Binning, and youngerartists such as Kika Thorne,whose latest sculpture, TheQuestion of a Hunch (2015),“extends her ongoing interestin geometry, the visible spec-trum and magnetism as a fieldupon which to project ques-tions regarding chemical com-position and its politicalramifications.”

Conservator’s Corner BY NADINE POWERconservationoffineart.com

Cleaning Acrylic Paintings: A Dilemma SolvedKeeping up with new materials, techniquesand, of course, technology is an importantpart of being a conservator. Until recently,cleaning acrylic painted surfaces was prob-lematic, as little was known about thebehaviour of acrylic films when water or sol-vents were introduced to the paint film.Most conservators used dry cleaning meth-ods or experimented with water or saliva toremove imbibed grime. The results wereoften disappointing, and the use of wateroften risked unwanted alterations of the sur-face texture of the painting.

In August 2014, the Canadian Con-servation Institute (CCI), in part with theGetty Conservation Institute, hosted aworkshop on the cleaning of acrylic paintedsurfaces (CAPS). Over four days, an inti-mate group of conservators gathered fromaround the world in Ottawa to hear severalof the top conservation scientists discusstheir latest findings.

The mornings were spent in lectures,learning about the molecular structures andphysical properties of acrylic paint films, aswell as about new cleaning solutions andtheir mechanisms of action. The afternoons

were spent in the CCI laboratories, with participants watching demonstrations by expert paintingconservators and trying out the new cleaning methods themselves.

The foundation of the CAPS system is that the conservator must first understand the propertiesof the paint film with which he or she is working and develop cleaning solutions customized to thatstructure. Participants reviewed the behaviour and aging properties of acrylic paint as well as theresponse of paint to water-based cleaning systems.

Participants also learned how to measure properties such as the pH and conductivity of paintedsurfaces – knowledge that would prepare them to tailor their cleaning solutions to a specific painting.Choosing aqueous or solvent-based cleaning systems, conservators can then alter the pH or conduc-tivity and add chelating agents or surfactants, depending on the desired effect.

Each participant was given large samples of acrylic paint that had been aged for several years andartificially soiled to mimic the grime often found on the surface of indoor paintings (including grimefrom tobacco smoke, dust, fingerprints, and food and beverages). The group was then encouraged toexperiment with combinations of new and old cleaning solutions, making note of qualities such aswhether the solutions were efficient cleaners, changed the texture of the painted surface or mistaken-ly removed paint.

The cleaning systems detailed at the CAPS workshop, however, now provide conservators withsolutions and emulsions that are more easily customized to the paintings being worked on. The resultof these advances means safer conservation practices and more brilliant outcomes.

Michael Levin: MementoELISSA CRISTALL GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Jan 22-Feb 21, 2015 Before taking up the camera,Michael Levin studied flamenco guitar inSpain. Of his experience, he writes:“Unlike classical guitar, which is governedby an established set of rules, flamencoguitar is more spontaneous as it works tocolour and shade the performance of theflamenco dancer.”

Now an established fine-art photogra-pher, Levin has used flamenco to informhis more recent works. “I’ve been spend-ing time over the last three years primarilyin France, Germany and Japan trying tofind my way with colour,” he writes. Theresult of these journeys is a new body ofwork “about the possibility of colour –how it can be both old and new again.”

Inspired by the muted colours of19th-century landscape painting, theenergetic fields of the post-painterly mod-erns, and what the Kodak No. 1 cameracan achieve, Levin’s latest works include aseries of circular pictures that could havebeen shot 125 years ago, when the camera debuted. And the subject matter, too, Levin says, isdrawn from the painters of that time. Michael Turner

GleanersNANAIMO ART GALLERY, NANAIMO BC – Jan 24-May 2, 2015 This exhibition of seven Canadian andinternational artists takes its namefrom Jean-François Millet’s paint-ing The Gleaners (1857). In place offood crops left behind after the har-vest, this show substitutes storiesgathered, as curator Jesse Birchputs it, from “travel to distantplaces, slow engagement with a sin-gle place or idea, or a combinationof the two.”

Among the participating artists isCanadian Kara Uzelman, whoseperipatetic lifestyle has taken her toremote residencies in the North andentrepreneurial projects on thePrairies, experiences that find theirway into her delicate yet refinedinstallations. The architectural train-ing of Joar Nango, a Norwegian-based Sami artist, is evident in his careful articulations of discarded building supplies.

The travels of word-of-mouth artist Michael Drebert have resulted not in art objects per se, butin stories given to gallery staff to be conveyed to those asking, “Where’s Michael?”Michael Turner

In Session -- OneLEGACY ART GALLERY, VICTORIA BC – Jan 17-Mar 28, 2015This exhibition, curated by Mary Jo Hughes, is a celebra-tion of four of the University of Victoria’s sessionalinstructors. It has a special focus on the fields in whichthese individuals both work and teach: photography anddigital media. Megan Dickie, Laura Dutton, d. bradleymuir and Tara Nicholson are all professional artists whodivide their time between their studio practices and theirpart-time positions working with first-year art students.

About her piece, Dueling, Dickie writes, “In my prac-tice, video is strategically used to represent the trans-formable aspects of my sculptures .… Video is used as atool to display these interactions as physically comedic.”Dutton, presenting Cape Spear/Cape Scott, describes it as “atwo-channel video installation that situates the viewer inthe middle of an unending cycle of real-time sunrises andsunsets.”

In his latest work, muir asks us to consider the photo-graph (and, by extension, the landscape we photograph) asan object. For Supernova Scene, he first crumpled a series oflandscape photos and then photographed the crumpledimages. Nicholson’s work, Tether, is also photography. It isa meditation on the working and resting spaces of artists,with images she took in Victoria and during a residency inGermany. Christine Clark

Cézanne and the Modern: Masterpieces of EuropeanArt from the Pearlman CollectionVANCOUVER ART GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Feb 14-May 18, 2015 Ask what the most significant artisticinnovation of the 20th century was, and the answeryou’ll likely get is collage or the “readymade.” Nev-ertheless, painting remained that century’s domi-nant medium (with film running a close second).And so: perhaps it was the meeting of these mediathat brought us Cubism?

Paul Cézanne is the artist with whom Cubism ismost closely associated. He set this path out of Post-Impressionism, and was considered by Matisse andPicasso to be the “father of us all.” The evolution ofCézanne’s brushwork and his complex multi-panedfields are on display in this five-city touring exhibi-tion of works from the Pearlman Collection, organ-ized by the Princeton University Art Museum.

Among the 24 paintings by Cézanne is hisgroundbreaking landscape, Mont Sainte-Victoire (c.1904–1906), a work central to his oeuvre and indeedto art history. Also included in the exhibit are worksby Edgar Degas, Édouard Manet and AmedeoModigliani. Michael Turner

Faster Than the Speed of SoundKAMLOOPS ART GALLERY, KAMLOOPS BC – Jan 17-Mar 21, 2015 Michael Markowsky bills himselfas a “dynamic visual artist,” a painter for whom performance is as important to his practice asbrushes and pigment. A commit-ted experiential artist, he hasdrawn and painted while ridingmoving cars, boats, trains anddogsleds. His latest sketchingsession took place inside thecockpit of a Canadian Air ForceCF-18 fighter jet travelling atsupersonic speed.

On the walls inside the KAG’sCube gallery are selections fromthe five 3- by 6-metre canvassesMarkowsky painted based on thedrawings he made while airborne.On the floor, the artist is con-structing a scaled-down wood andcanvas version of the jet he flew inwhen he made the drawings. Once the model is completed – by the later stages of the exhibition– gallery goers will be able to sit inside its cockpit and take in the view.

Markowsky welcomes visitors to assist him. However, for those who would prefer to use theCube as a place to draw, Markowsky, ever in motion, ever open to outcome, is open to that as well.Michael Turner

Gill ian Redwood: Energetic UniverseMARTIN BATCHELOR GALLERY, VICTORIA BC – Feb 7-Mar 5, 2015 Gillian Redwood is a Welsh-Canadi-an artist living in Victoria, BC, where she is an active member of Xchanges Gallery and Studios. Whenstudying art as a young woman atCardiff College of Art, she had thegood fortune to study with Britishpainter Tom Hudson, who, in his day,was well known for his experimentalapproach to teaching – especially ofcolour theory. Since that time,Redwood has travelled extensivelythroughout the UK, Europe, the USand Canada and has participated in avariety of exhibitions as a solo artistand in group shows.

In 2003, after a lifetime of workas a graphic artist, Redwood decid-ed to devote herself full time to herpassion for painting. Her currentbody of work is an interestingdevelopment, difficult to describebecause it tends toward a styleknown as “provisional painting.”These acrylic works consist of various expressionistic marks, vaguely suggestive of the human form,rendered on somewhat indifferent colour fields. However, the paintings are also large scale (54 by 46inches) and therefore quite assertive. This dichotomy of the fragile and the ambitious makes thepieces worthy of contemplation. Christine Clark

Practical Art History orConfessions of a Fine Art AppraiserChapter 45. The Case of Cruise Ship Art, Part 2Visual art as a form of cultural production speaks to the sophistication of a society that encourages andembraces the importance of art production.

Cruise ship art culture is vigorously promoted by cruise ship lines, as evidenced by the very popular on-board art auctions and the place-ment of original artworks through-out the vessels. In this way, cruiseship companies can demonstratetheir commitment to the visualarts, using this as a means to attractcustomers who, for their part, seekto demonstrate their aestheticappreciation of artworks as a reflec-tion of their sophistication, goodtaste and often wealth. Theseworks – “cultural signifiers” – rep-resent an important element of amarketing strategy targeted at

those presumed to be inclined to appreciate and purchase on-board artworks.As an art appraiser, I should refrain from taking cruise ship vacations because, more often than not, I

become enmeshed in “controversies” of my own making. Here is a case in point.Recently, while waiting for an elevator on a cruise ship bound for Hawaii, I found myself standing in

front of an oil-on-canvas painting. It appeared to be a diptych. A brass plaque mounted to the right of thepainting identified it as Blue Shore by Beatrice Findlay. Most of the elevator lobbies and stairwells on boardwere enlivened with original artworks, mostly paintings by well-known artists. On closer inspection (Icouldn’t help it; my professional curiosity got the better of me), I noticed that the painting was hung upsidedown: the artist’s name and the copyright symbol were clearly wrong side up in the top right-hand corner.As I was viewing the painting, the elevator doors opened and out stepped a group of people, among them amiddle-aged woman who, on noticing me there, approached and said in mid-stride, “My granddaughtercould do that with a bunch of crayons.”

“Oh, is your granddaughter an artist?” I politely retorted. She did not reply and just continuedwalking.

On my return to Vancouver, I emailed Beatrice Findlay, who I knew was born in Canada and lives inLos Angeles. I sent her a photo of the painting and inquired about it. (I also got her permission to repro-duce the image here.) Findlay confirmed that Blue Shore was indeed hung upside down and that, further-more, it had been cropped, losing about five inches across the top, likely in the course of being made to fitan available frame. The painting was one of several done for the cruise ship’s show lounge in 1996. Thecruise ship line was sold to a competitor in 2002 – a new owner, it seems, with a perfunctory commitmentto original artwork.

It makes one wonder about the value of visual culture. In this case, it would seem that cruise ship man-agement sees the presence of original art as a means of enhancing the aesthetic aspect of the cruise shipexperience, and therefore as a strategy for attracting customers. Yet, if that’s so, then I think the cruise shipcompany should, at the very least, make the effort to hang pictures in public spaces properly and to retainthe integrity of the originals. Wouldn’t that honouring of the artists’ intentions demonstrate a commitmentto the true aesthetic appreciation necessary to attract art-loving customers?

Portland: a visual arts scene takes flight(part three of a three-part series)

Community support for the arts in Portland is remarkable and longstanding. The city opened an artmuseum only 41 years after its 1851 incorporation. Today, the Portland Art Museum (PAM) ranksas the seventh oldest and one of the 25 largest art museums in the United States.

Brian Ferriso, PAM’s executive director, inherited an institution $20 million in the hole whenhe arrived in 2006. While paying down the debt, due to be eliminated in June 2015, PAM hasrevamped its user experience. Ferriso says, “Our team developed a subtle, strategic approachfocused on content, using existing platforms, for a thoughtful use of technology to enhance theuser experience.” Other museums have taken note: Ferriso was invited to speak about PAM’stechnology and user experience at theAssociation of Museum Art Directors2015 conference in Mexico. Later, infall 2015, PAM will be the first toshowcase Microsoft co-founder PaulG. Allen’s collection of landscapes, fea-turing roughly 40 paintings and fivecenturies of European and Americanlandscape art prior to the show’s tour ofthe United States which ends in 2017.

Nature and the land are importantaspects of the local arts scene. ThePortland Japanese Garden, consideredone of the finest gardens outside of Japan, boasts its own art curator, Diane Durston. “Over thepast eight years,” she says, “we have evolved into a venue for museum-quality exhibitions featur-ing such internationally known artists as Kazumi Murose, designated as a Living National Treas-ure of Japan. We seek to show a balance of traditional and contemporary work to give visitors acontext in which to view today’s art and the garden itself.”

In April 2015, the garden will be exhibiting wood sculptures from the Goto family, a 29-gen-eration enterprise. According to Durston, “[The] current owner, the first woman head of herfamily studio, Hakkodo, in Kamakura, Japan, is making strikingly modern objects that are carvedand lacquered using the same techniques her ancestors used to carve Buddhist statuary.” Thefamily has a prior connection to Portland. The owner’s great-grandfather showed his work at the1905 Lewis and Clark Exposition, and won a gold medal.

Jeff Jahn (pronounced yawn), a classically trained musician who works as an art critic, art cura-tor and publisher of PORT one of the longest-standing art blogs in the United States, exemplifiesthe edgier aspects of Portland’s arts scene. As Jahn sums up his and his authors’ perspectives, “AtPORT we aren’t here to make friends, we want a frank, informed discussion and to make roomand prompt the entire community to question what is presented and considered as art. We offer asense of scope and scale since a city the size of Portland can easily devolve into cliquish mutualadmiration societies and it is poison. Effective criticism takes poison and makes it medicine.” Thisyear marks PORT’s 10th year of publication (portlandart.net).

Portland taxpayers deepened their commitment to the arts and arts education in 2012 by vot-ing in a $35 Arts Education and Access Income Tax. While there have been a few problems asadministrators have grappled with the realities of implementing this unique tax, about $7.6 mil-lion collected during the first year of the tax has been disbursed.

Deeply rooted in a history and geography of place, Portland’s arts scene is infused with a spiritof exploration that defies earthly boundaries.

Jo Hamilton: WhomLAURA RUSSO GALLERY, PORTLAND OR – Feb 5-28, 2015 Port-land artist Jo Hamilton creates contemporary portraiture with theunexpected medium of crocheted yarn. A native of Scotland,Hamilton learned to crochet as a young child from her grand-mother. Her formal art training was in painting and drawing, earn-ing her a BFA from the Glasgow School of Art. Hamilton spentclose to 20 years working in oils and watercolour, feeling she hadn’tfound the right medium for her work until she hit on crochet as hermedium of choice. Her first crocheted piece of art – a large-scalecityscape of Portland – took years to complete.

Much of Hamilton’s recent work has been figurative, focusingon portraits of people she knows, images of mug shots, and lately,residents and staff at a local care facility for people living withHIV/AIDS, where she has been a long-time volunteer.

Using a photograph for reference, Hamilton’s labour-inten-sive process of “painting with yarn” is largely focused on colourrelationships and tonality to attain the depth of form and like-ness of character she seeks to capture. A signature element –loose dangling yarns that freely hang from the bottom of thewall-mounted portraits – adds to the warmth of these alreadysensitive pieces. This first solo exhibit at Laura Russo Galleryincludes yet another facet of Hamilton’s inventive work – three-dimensional head forms covered in her visually captivating mul-ticoloured crochet.

ROGER SHIMOMURA: AN AMERICAN KNOCKOFF Hallie Ford Museumof Art, Salem, Jan 17-Mar 29 Painter, printmaker and performanceartist Roger Shimomura has been exhibiting for over four decades,on themes that address the dichotomy between his American cultureand his Japanese descent. In his socio-political narratives, Shimomu-ra blends Pop Art and comic book imagery with the traditions ofJapanese woodblock printing. This large survey includes early worksrecalling his childhood time in an internment camp during WorldWar II, as well as newer pieces where the artist depicts himself bat-tling stereotypes in witty satire.

JEREMY ROTSZTAIN: ELECTRIC FIELDS Upfor Gallery, Portland, Feb 5-28 In this new collection of animations, Jeremy Rotsztain imagineshow Colour Field painters may have embraced the medium of virtualreality. Rotsztain uses software programming to write algorithms thatdescribe painterly gestures within a virtual 3-D space. Floatingarrangements of morphing shapes and harmonious colours present anatmospheric account of a seemingly infinite dream world. This inno-vative artist works at a unique cusp of digital media practice informedby painting attributes to create these ethereal compositions.

JOE MACCA Laura Russo Gallery, Portland, Feb 5-28 Oregon artist JoeMacca is known for his nuanced abstractions that reference col-orations from the natural world. With soft gradient fields of seamlesscolour, Macca’s minimal compositions offer quiet testimonies to thesubtle power of chromatic choices. In his most recent series, Nostal-gia, the formal investigations turn to an increasingly monochromaticpalette of rich sepias and greys that gently lean toward warm greens,violets and deep charcoal. These stark compositions exude lightinside the misty emptiness of immaculate surfaces.

REBECCA NORRIS WEBB: MY DAKOTA Blue Sky Gallery, Portland, Feb5-Mar 1 In 2005, Rebecca Norris Webb began photographing hervast home state of South Dakota. A year into the project, her brotherunexpectedly died and, as a way of processing her grief, she contin-ued the work in earnest. This exhibit combines luminous colourprints of the South Dakota landscape with the artist’s poetry, pen-cilled onto the gallery walls. The sentiment in this series is a personalreflection that echoes a journey of loss set in its own geography.

MASTERWORKS|PORTLAND: EL GRECO Portland Art Museum, Port-land, Dec 13-Apr 5 The rarely loaned Renaissance-era treasure onshow here is considered El Greco’s greatest devotional painting. HolyFamily with Saint Mary Magdalen is the latest installment of thePAM’s Masterworks series and a fine example of the Spanish artist’smature style. Painted in the 1590s, this dramatic painting depicts anotherworldly scene of the Holy Family. El Greco stylized the figuresand the setting into elongated forms that float among voluminousfolds of fabric below a turbulent sky.

Italian Style: Fashion Since 1945PORTLAND ART MUSEUM, PORTLAND OR – Feb 7-May 3, 2015 Organized by London’s Victoria andAlbert Museum, this comprehensive exhibit highlights the major figures in Italian fashion over the last70 years. Glamour, tailoring and trendsetting are a few of the themes captured by this incredibleoverview of garments created by some of fashion’s most notable players, including Giorgio Armani,Valentino, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Pucci, Prada and Versace.

The exhibit chronicles both women’s fashion and menswear from the end of World War II to thepresent day, a time when the burgeon-ing fashion industry became a corner-stone of Italy’s post-war recovery. Theluxurious Sala Bianca catwalk showsheld in Florence in the 1950s gar-nered international attention, puttingItalian designers on the world stage.The exquisite outfits worn by AudreyHepburn, Elizabeth Taylor and otherHollywood actresses in films shot onlocation in Italy also helped popular-ize Italian style in the ’50s and ’60s. Bythe 1970s, Milan had grown to be thecountry’s fashion capital and Italiandesigners to be central in the world ofstyle, known for their techniques,materials and expertise.

The more than 100 ensemblesand accessories in the show trace thisevolution of style and design. At the conclusion of this stunning exhibit is a filmed interview with keyfashion industry figures who reflect on the future of Italian fashion.

moa.ubc.ca / museum of vancouver.ca / musqueam.bc.ca�,c sna? m, the city before the city

MUSEUM OF ANTHROPOLOGY, MUSEUM OF VANCOUVER,MUSQUEAM CULTURAL CENTRE GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC –Jan 25, 2015-Jan 2016 and beyond The focus of this multi-venue exhibition is the village of cə̓snaʔəm, located at what isnow commonly referred to as the Vancouver neighbourhood ofMarpole. First occupied some 5,000 years ago, cə̓snaʔəm grewto become a significant site of seafood harvesting and produc-tion, as well as a burial ground. By the time Jesus Christ wasborn, cə̓snaʔəm was among the largest of the Musqueam vil-lages on the West Coast.

Since European contact, cə̓snaʔəm has undergone a num-ber of name changes: Great Fraser Midden, Eburne Midden,DhRs-1 and Marpole Midden, to name a few. For the past 125years, the area has been poked, prodded and plundered byarchaeologists and treasure hunters. Many important aspectsof its material inventory now reside in museums and privatecollections, locally and abroad. One of the ambitions of thisexhibition is to bring the pieces together again and show themopenly and widely.

According to co-curator Terry Point, “Visitors to c̓əsnaʔəm,the city before the city will learn it is part of a landscape, and willdiscover aspects of Musqueam heritage, culture and knowledgethat have never before been shared with the public.”

The parts of the exhibition that are at the Museum ofAnthropology and the Musqueam Cultural Centre Gallery

will be up for a year. The part at the Museum of Vancouver will be up for five years.Michael Turner

DOUG KEYES: PORTRAIT G. Gibson Gallery, Seattle, Jan 23-Feb 28Doug Keyes uses layered photographic imagery to capture impres-sions that evoke the difference between seeing and perceiving. In thisseries, he turns to portraiture, using multiple exposures to create sin-gle images. The compositions move beyond the static, portrayingwhat the mind actually sees over time. These luminous personifica-tions include Chuck Close, Rembrandt, Warhol and other iconicartists. The more anonymous pieces, such as Humans of New York, areamong the most intriguing in the series.

LIVE ON: MR.’S JAPANESE NEO-POP Asian Art Museum, Seattle, Nov22-Apr 5 Born in 1969, the Japanese artist known as Mr. is a protégéof Takashi Murakami, internationally acclaimed icon of Japanese PopArt. This is the first major American museum retrospective of Mr.’sart. He combines anime characters, graffiti elements and candy-coat-ed colours in busy, fantasy-driven compositions with dystopianundertones. Central to the exhibit is a massive installation made ofeveryday objects that Mr. created as a response to the aftermath ofthe 2011 tsunami and Fukushima nuclear accident.

BAM BIENNIAL 2014: KNOCK ON WOOD Bellevue Arts Museum,Bellevue, Oct 31-Mar 29 This third installment of BAM’s biennialseries focuses on wood in a survey of works by Pacific Northwestartists and craftspeople. These 39 jury-selected artists vary greatly intheir creative pursuits. The broad scope of pieces presented hereshowcases examples of both immaculate technical ability and amaz-ing innovation – ranging from exquisite carvings, skilled turnings andcontemporary furniture designs to off-beat sculptural parodies.

GEOMETRIC ABSTRACTION Prographica Gallery, Seattle, Feb 21-Mar28 This three-person exhibit includes artwork by David Brody,Robert Perlman and Chris Watts, all of whom work non-objectively,sharing the visual imperatives of Geometric Abstraction. That move-ment, around since the early twentieth century, propelled theremoval of recognizable subject matter as a central concern of pre-senting illusion – in effect, laying a foundation for the contemporaryvisual canon of non-representational art. Here, Perlman uses colour-ful painterly methods, while both Brody and Watts use repetition andsequence to arrive at tight formal compositions.

CHRISTINE SHARP: VIEWS FROM THE BYWAYS Lisa Harris Gallery,Seattle, Feb 5-Mar 1 Christine Sharp’s oil paintings explore theNorthwest landscape through semi-representational scenes that cap-ture the essence of place. In this exhibit, she focuses on the byways ofOregon, Washington and Montana, inspired by her travels throughthese regions. Her distinct style combines realism and abstraction:landscape elements are reduced into bold, flat sections of vibrantcolour and simplified interlocking forms. Sharp’s puzzle-likearrangements of relaxed biomorphic shapes offer a contemporaryvision of landscape painting filtered through the lens of personalexpression.

Future Ruins: Rodrigo ValenzuelaFRYE ART MUSEUM, SEATTLE WA – Jan 31-Apr 26, 2015 Seattle-based Rodrigo Valenzuela is a Chileanartist who received a BFA from the University of Chile in Santiago, and his MFA from the Univer-sity of Washington in 2012. In the last few years, his work has gained national attention, bringingValenzuela several awards and residencies. He works in photography, sculpture, video and installa-tion, often creating pseudo-biographical narratives in which he blurs the line between fiction anddocumentary.

This first solo museum exhibit features site-specific pieces commissioned by the Frye. HedonicReversal is a large-scale architectural installation composed of an amalgam of photographic depictionsand sculptural “ruins” that offer a haunting yet inviting presence. The artist is exploring the aestheticnotion of ruins unto themselves, with the social stigma of economic failure removed from the equa-tion of seeing and feeling. Valenzuela’s installations have a certain push and pull effect, the result of hisshowing the same sub-ject through both pho-tography and sculpture.This creates an envi-ronment of disillusionand suspended realitythat is oddly appealing.

El Sísifo is a three-channel video projec-tion that was also com-missioned by the Fryefor the exhibit. Thepiece is about workerswho remove debris.Valenzuela has dubbedthem the “13th Man.”With a nod to Seattlesports fans (known asthe “12th Man”), this video work poignantly directs our attention to the invisible workers who pick upgarbage after sporting events.

Concurrent with this museum show is a March exhibition at Upfor Gallery in Portland, Ore-gon, which represents Valenzuela’s artwork in the Pacific Northwest. Allyn Cantor

Jason Walker: On the River, Down the RoadBELLEVUE ARTS MUSEUM, BELLEVUE WA – Oct 3, 2014-Mar 1, 2015 This first solo museum exhibitionby ceramic artist Jason Walker highlights the artist’s ongoing interest in the inherent dichotomy betweennatural and man-made creations. On the River, Down the Road is a site-specific installation of meticuloussculptures created from painted porcelain. In these highly detailed pieces, Walker depicts a surreal envi-ronment where animals that have absorbed the residue of industrial and urban life are shown as evolvedhybrid life forms.

The Washington artist uses elementsof fantasy to expose the progressive impactof humanity on the landscape. Walker’swild and domesticated animal forms arerendered with colourfully painted surfacesthat articulate witty yet sombre scenesbased on the decline of the natural worldand the increase of technological develop-ments. These somewhat playful andhumorous creatures speak of theinescapable influence of civilization overwilderness in telling narratives that ques-tion our current perceptions of nature. Inone of Walker’s sculptures, a redtail deerclad with caution stripes carries a roadwayon his side and cars on his back as hestands among a cluster of dwarfed citybuildings.

These visually captivating artworks are both stunning in their skill and execution and effective intheir ability to provoke thoughtful dialogue. For Walker, they represent “what it means to be human inthe present time” – a response he had after realizing that we exclude ourselves from the very definitionof the word nature. Allyn Cantor
