Angela Grossmann: Models of ResistanceHERRINGER KISS GALLERY, CALGARY AB – May 11-Jun 10, 2017 Much is made of Vancouver artist Ian

Wallace’s photo-paintings. Given their neat andclean 90-degree lines, monochromatic squares,and deliberately unspectacular photo subjects, it isnot surprising that Wallace did his master’s onMondrian. Angela Grossman did not do her mas-ter’s on Mondrian, but she was a student at EmilyCarr University of Art + Design when Wallacetaught there through the 1980s. As for her ownhybrid of photography and painting, Grossman isto Expressionism what Wallace is to De Stijl.

For her current exhibition Grossman onceagain gathers photographic images of women’sbodies and, through various manipulations (cut-ting, tearing, layering, sharing), brings their inte-rior condition to the fore. Not to lay them bare,or to make her subjects more vulnerable, but asan act of resistance – her subjects know who theyare and are not afraid to show it.

Most notable in this body of work is adecreased reliance on graphite, ink, dye, andpaint in favour of materials drawn from three-dimensional sources such as doll clothes. Many ofGrossmann’s models have real hair and aredressed in Barbie skirts and panties. As in pastworks, Grossmann has no problem presentingthe crinkled bits of masking tape that hold her

fragments in place – the very tape Wallace applies and gently pulls away to achieve his neat and cleanlines. Michael Turner

V I G N E T T E S • June/July/August 2017AlbertaNIGHT COMES ON Esker Foundation, Calgary, May 1-Jul 23 Thosewho live in dense jungles of glass towers are familiar with theexperience of both looking and being looked at. Exhibitionismand voyeurism become as ordinary as eating and sleeping. Victo-ria-based artist Laura Dutton has created an unsettling videoinstallation – a cityscape of LED screens and stacked black boxes– in which residents of Vancouver condo towers have been caughtpeering out their windows while gallery-goers in Calgary stareback at them.

WOMEN’S HANDS BUILDING A NATION Alberta Craft Council Gallery,Edmonton, May 6-Aug 19 Through a range of fibre arts, from rughooking and quilting to needlework and knitting, this exhibitioncelebrates the enduring contribution of women to the building ofa nation. Expressions of women’s political history, such as the suf-fragette movement, are juxtaposed with images of social anddomestic experiences and activities, such as quilting bees and li-ving in sod houses. Organized by the Chinook Guild of FibreArts in commemoration of Canada’s 150th anniversary.

OH CERAMICS! Esplanade Art Gallery, Medicine Hat, May 13-Jul 1This national exhibition of ceramic art also celebrates the 150thanniversary of Canadian Confederation. The 17 participatingartists, chosen from across the country, from sea to sea to sea,have created a diverse range of works in clay. Some have respon-ded in a celebratory fashion to the sesquicentennial theme whileothers more critically explore issues of colonialism, cultural iden-tity, politics, and the environment. The show also reflects Medi-cine Hat’s historic and contemporary connection to clay.

FOR THE TIME BEING Art Gallery of Alberta, Edmonton, May 27-Sep 10 and Walter Phillips Gallery, Banff, Jun 24-Sep 10 On view attwo different venues, the exhibition is the tenth iteration of theAlberta Biennial. One of the themes addressed by the 24 artists is“wayfinding in new and unknown territories.” Those territoriesmay be physical or virtual, visible or invisible, and may beexplored through any number of media, from text-based work tophotography to mixed-media sculpture and experimental film.Participating artists workshopped their ideas at the Banff Centrelast summer.

MIRIAM RUDOLF: DISPOSSESSION Alberta Printmakers Gallery,Calgary, Jun 2-Jul 15 Miriam Rudolf’s prints take as their subjectthe rapid encroachment of industrialized agriculture on the semi-arid, virgin forest of the Paraguayan Chaco. Working with multi-ple etching plates and printing on both sides of the paper,Rudolph, who was born and raised in Paraguay and is based inEdmonton, achieves surprisingly lyrical effects as she addressesdark issues of deforestation and its disastrous impact on bothnative species and Indigenous peoples.

Shame and Prejudice: A Story of Resil ienceGLENBOW MUSEUM, CALGARY AB – Jun 17-Sep 10, 2017 In 2016, when Canada’s sesquicentennialcommittees began to announce themselves in the form of project grants and community celebra-tions, many of the country’s Indigenous artists asked, What is it that this country intends to cele-

brate? In The Inconvenient Indian (2012),author Thomas King, who is of Cherokeeancestry, notes a “guarded record of agreed-upon events and interpretations.” For artistKent Monkman, who is of Cree ancestry, thequestion required not a recognition but aresponse.

“Canada’s 150 years old – what does thatmean for the First Peoples?” Monkman toldCanadian Art. “When I thought about it, Ithought it includes the worst period, becauseit goes all the way back to the signing of thetreaties, the beginning of the reserve system,this legacy of incarceration, residentialschools, sickness, the removal of children inthe ’60s, missing and murdered women.”

The result is a dark and sometimeshumorous exhibition consisting mostly ofpaintings Monkman made after touring thecountry’s museum collections where Canada’sEurocentric narrative is embedded. In TheScream (2016), Mounties hold back pleadingmothers as their children are taken from themby Catholic priests and nuns. In Death of aVirgin (2016), mourners gather at the bedsideof a young Indigenous woman. In The Daddies

(2016), Monkman’s naked cross-dressing alter ego Miss Chief Eagle Testickle entertains the “foundingfathers.” Michael Turner

Anton Vidokle: The Communist Revolution Was Caused by the SunESKER FOUNDATION, CALGARY AB – May 27-Aug 28, 2017 Born in Moscow and raised in NewYork City, Vidokle is best known as the founder of e-flux, a daily online press release distributor that,through its advertisers (mostly museums and galleries), underwrites exhibitions and talks, commissionsessays and, as a collaborative juggernaut, is an ever-present dinner guest at the mansion of contempo-rary art. Amidst all this, Vidokle maintains a solo art practice with an interest in film.

Vidokle’s The Communist RevolutionWas Caused by the Sun is the second in atrilogy of films based on an early 20th-century Russian social movement knownas cosmism. For the uninitiated, cosmismdraws on world religions, ethics, poetics,and natural history towards an under-standing of the cosmos and its sidekick,humankind. That cosmism supplied itsfirst Soviet leaders with a vision of a globalproletariat setting out from earth toenlighten outer space is not surprising.

Like Dusan Makavejev’s classic WR:Mysteries of the Organism (1971), Vidokle’s film is based on the work of a discredited scientist; in thisinstance, Soviet biophysicist Alexander Chizhevsky, who was exiled to Kazakhstan after arguing thatenvironmental factors, not historical ones, provided the impetus for Russia’s 1905 and 1917 revolu-tions. An interesting irony in light of Karl Marx’s prediction that after overcoming the class strugglehumankind would enter an even bigger one – with Nature. Michael Turner

Pressed: Four Decades of Prints by D. Helen Mackie, RCANICKLE GALLERIES, CALGARY AB – Jun 8-Jul 28, 2017 Earlier this year, Mackie made a donation tothe University of Calgary’s Nickle Galleries – one ofevery print series she made in a studio career thatspans over four decades. A sizable contribution, tobe sure, and one that provides the basis for theartist’s current exhibition of etching, intaglio, wood-block, and stencil work.

Although she studied biology and chemistry atQueen’s University in the early 1940s, and physiolo-gy later that decade at the University of Toronto,Mackie returned to school in 1969 to do a BFAunder the tutelage of John Esler and Noboru Sawaiat the University of Calgary. It was there that Mackie was drawn to printmaking, which she says,“opened my eyes to a new world of images and anopportunity to create.”

And create she did, not only as a printmaker butas a maker of charcoal drawings and watercolourpaintings. But it is as a printmaker that Mackie dis-tinguished herself: “I have found that the traditionalmethods of drawing on a plate or cutting into awood block are most to my liking. In these the con-tact with idea, hand, and image are very close.”

Mackie, whose energetic prints give every indi-cation she is still at work in her studio, turns 91 this year. Michael Turner

Tara Nicholson: Arctic ClaimsBURNABY ART GALLERY, BURNABY BC – Jun 2-Jul 2, 2017 Most discussions of contemporary art

practice invariably touch on theimportance of research. But artistshave always conducted research,from experiments in the preparationand application of a pigment to read-ing up on the secret life of plants. Onsome occasions, such as Rembrandt’sThe Anatomy Lesson of Dr. NicolaesTulp (1632), research itself is the sub-ject. A more recent example can befound in the lens-based work of TaraNicholson.

In 2015, Nicholson travelled to theUniversity of Copenhagen Arctic Sta-tion in Western Greenland with theintent of photographing climate changeresearchers. Two years later, she made asimilar trip to Inuvik. The result is aseries of pictures that pair the banality

of patterned and repetitive fieldwork with a natural environment that is both slow and overwhelming.In one photo, a marina of small craft vessels shares moorage space with a cluster of similarly-sized ice

floes. In another, two dudes huddle beside a sampling grid, their man buns wound tight atop their heads.Most impressive, though, are pictures where that which is brought to the Arctic finds its analogue in thenatural landscape: a tent reminiscent of a distant peak, a room with a framed map of Greenland thatshines as bright as the light outside its window.

AlterNationKAMLOOPS ART GALLERY, KAMLOOPS BC – Jul 15-Sep 9, 2017 Among the more remarkable accom-plishments of a modern democracy is its ability to celebrate the anniversary of its colonial historywhile allowing for – or in some instances, encouraging – its critique. This informs the premise of theKAG’s summer exhibition program, which pairs the abstracted landscape paintings of Lawren Harris:

Canadian Visionary with work drawn largelyfrom the gallery’s permanent collection.

A brief glance at the 20-plus artists includ-ed in AlterNation provides a sharp contrast towhat was, in Harris’s day, a national art projectdominated by men of Anglo-Europeandescent. Although it is often mentioned thatHarris and his Group of Seven cohorts facedtheir own share of discrimination in theirapplication of modernist aesthetic techniquesto what was, for many Canadians, a perfectlynatural landscape, it was their privilege thatallowed them to shrug off their detractors andget on with the work of re-envisioning Cana-da’s mountains and forests – not from some-thing pristine, but as something anonymous,uninhabited.

In addition to works by established artistsRebecca Belmore, Ken Lum, Divya Mehra,Jin-me Yoon, and Tania Willard are those by

senior artists such as Aganetha Dyck. In The Helmet (2000), Dyck inverts Harris’s modernist imposi-tions onto the natural landscape by allowing nature’s honeybees to turn a piece of 21st century hockeyequipment into a beeswax hive. Michael Turner

V I G N E T T E S • June/July/August 2017British ColumbiaONE ON ONE: INHERITANCE: AMY MALBEUF Kelowna Art Gallery,Kelowna, Apr 1-Jul 9 Métis artist Amy Malbeuf juxtaposes tradi-tional and contemporary mediums to powerful effect. Her medi-ums and materials range from caribou hair tufting and beadworkto performance, video, installation, and altered found objects.Guest curator Cathy Mattes writes that Malbeuf’s mixed-mediaworks “evoke contemplation about the value of personal, cultural,and artistic inheritance to Indigenous artists.” Ideas of identityand place are called up as they intersect with the seemingly neu-tral space of the gallery.

TRACES OF WORDS: ART AND CALLIGRAPHY FROM ASIAMuseumof Anthropology, Vancouver, May 11-Oct 9 Historic calligraphymeets contemporary art in this expansive exhibition, whichranges across place, culture, and medium. From ancient Sumer-ian cuneiform bricks to contemporary Afghan graffiti, and fromHan Dynasty bronze mirrors to an interactive digital video instal-lation from Tokyo’s teamLab, the show explores what MOA cura-tor Fuyubi Nakamura describes as “the powerful duality thatemerges when the written word becomes a medium or canvas.”

ART SCHOOL HIGH Gordon Smith Gallery of Canadian Art, NorthVancouver, May 13-Aug 26 Organized by writer, curator, and arthistorian Patrik Andersson, this group show explores the fraughtcondition of our high school years, with all their attendant con-cerns of conformity, rebelliousness, identity, marginalization, anduncomfortable adolescence. Artists include many of Vancouver’sleading lights: Karen Bubaš, John Collins, Rodney Graham,Scott Livingstone, Ken Lum, Kyla Mallet, Jean MacRae, Shan-non Oksanen, Kathy Slade, Ron Terada, Neil Wedman, andDavid Wisdom.

PICTURES FROM HERE Vancouver Art Gallery, Vancouver, May 19-Sep 4 This exhibition, from the VAG’s collection, surveys photo-graphic and video works produced in Vancouver over the past fourdecades – art that put Vancouver on the international map. With afocus on images of the urban environment of Greater Vancouver,the show marks an important shift in visual art practice, from theromantic landscape tradition to a more conceptual approach to thesubject of place. Artists include Jeff Wall, Ian Wallace, Stan Douglas, Paul Wong, and Marian Penner Bancroft.

KIMONO CULTURENikkei National Museum, Burnaby, May 20-Sep 3The kimono endures as one of the most compelling symbols oftraditional Japanese culture. It is also “deeply rooted in the coreaesthetic of Japanese life.” Guest curated by Hitomi Harama, theshow uses the kimono as a means of showcasing the beauty ofJapanese culture. It also demonstrates many aspects of this won-drous garment, from its philosophical underpinnings to the art ofits design and production, including dying and weaving tech-niques, design motifs, materials, and structure.

JACK SHADBOLT: MOMENTUM Touchstones Nelson Museum of Artand History, Nelson, Jun 10-Sep 17 One of the West Coast’s lea-ding modernist artists and teachers, the late Jack Shadbolt is rep-resented here by sketches, silkscreened posters, painterly abstrac-tions, and lithographs. Born in England in 1909, Shadbolt grewup in Victoria, where he began his art studies and befriendedEmily Carr, an important influence on his development as anartist. After travelling widely, he settled in Vancouver, where hetaught and produced prolifically, achieving acclaim for his vividand expressive nature-based abstractions.

DAVID ROBINSON: THE CONDITIONAL FIGURE Pendulum Gallery,Vancouver, Jun 19-Jul 21 Strongly identified with his realisticsculptures of the naked human figure, David Robinson oftengrapples with metaphysical themes. In this exhibition of large-scale sculptures, he treats the figure “as a conditional entity,” in adynamic rather than static state. Posed rowing in an abstractedand elongated “boat” or tangled in a length of cloth, these nakedbeings are both connected with and isolated from their surround-ings. Art historical references and present-day psychologicalobservations abound.

OUT OF CONCEALMENT Haida Gwaii Museum, Skidegate, Jun 16-Dec 31 Created by Haida artist and environmental lawyer Terri-Lynn Williams-Davidson, the exhibition conveys origin and oraltraditions from the Haida Nation about female supernatural beings.This collaborative, three-dimensional storytelling installationencompasses photographs of the artist in costume, juxtaposedwith shots of the Haida Gwaii landscape and seascape, along withmusic, sound and dialogue. By these means, Williams-Davidsonshows viewers that “the spiritual and natural worlds are connected.”

DREAM ISLANDS Nanaimo Art Gallery, Nanaimo, Jul 21-Sep 17The theme of this group show is the complex intersectionbetween fine art and craft. Five emerging artists have been invi-ted to take the practice of the late Salt Spring Island ceramicistLari Robson as their inspiration in creating new works. A devo-tee of the Bernard Leach/Shoji Hamada school of ceramics and astudent of Japanese folk pottery traditions, Robson made objectsthat artist Julie Andreyev has described as exemplifying theshibui aesthetic: “austere, subdued, plain, simple, serene.”

LAWREN HARRIS: CANADIAN VISIONARY Kamloops Art Gallery,Kamloops, Jul 15-Sep 9 A founding member of the Group of Sev-en, Lawren Stewart Harris is acclaimed as one of the most impor-tant figures in the history of Canadian art. This exhibition,organized from the collection of the Vancouver Art Gallery,includes Harris’s nation-defining paintings of the Canadianwilderness, from the lakes and forests of northern Ontario to thelofty peaks of the Rocky Mountains. It also examines his late-career abstractions, in which he sought to express the universali-zing principles of Theosophy. Lawren Harris

40th Anniversary Summer ProgramISLAND MOUNTAIN ARTS GALLERY, WELLS BC – Jun 11-Sep 24, 2017 The Wells-based Island Mountain Arts Society, nowin its 40th year, can lay claim to a number of culturalendeavours that serve the central and northern BCregion, but also to the many artists, writers, musicians,and dancers who have been invited to this former goldrush town to share in its cultural wealth. The IslandMountain Arts Gallery is among these endeavours. Thegallery was established in 1988 after the IMAS took overand restored the Hill Meat Market building: “You canstill see the original chopping block on display,” saysExecutive and Artistic Director Julie Fowler.

The Island Mountain Arts Gallery is committed to acuratorial program that balances the particularities ofcommunity with challenges inherent to contemporaryart practice.

The gallery’s summer program includes a range ofartists working across the visual spectrum. Until June11, Barbara Wilson: COMING FROM NOWHERE:Thoughts Beyond Reality, an exhibition that frames thecareer of an artist with deep roots in the Cariboo. Com-ing from Nowhere is not a retrospective, but is an oppor-tunity to see Wilson’s current work set against the back-drop of a small selection of her past work.

The Figure in the LandscapeELISSA CRISTALL GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Jun 15-Jul 8, 2017 Of painting’s petit genres, it is per-

haps the landscape that offers the greatestnarrative potential. While the viewer canlook at a still life and imagine reaching for itslemon, or peer into the eyes of a portrait andsee the indifference of the artist who paintedit, only a landscape offers enough room tostep inside and leave the world of lookingbehind. But when a landscape is already occu-pied? This is the point of departure for TheFigure in the Landscape.

“We seem to have a keen desire to connectwith nature and the landscape and to connectwith those other than oneself,” writes ElissaCristall on the gallery website. This is presentin the dioramas of gallery artist JessicaKorderas, who has chosen that most ubiquitousform of pastoral architecture – the cabin – asher staging ground. In contrast, another galleryartist, Sara Caracristi, presents only figures inher small acrylic-and-resin paintings, leaving itto the viewer to infer the terrain they inhabitbased on their behaviour.

The third artist, Liz Toohey-Wiese, is aguest of the gallery. Toohey-Wiese’s large-scale acrylics often feature figures in motion,moving towards or away from each other. In

Brother’s Creek (2017), these figures are school children. Some stand on water-bound rocks, lookingoff; others sit patiently, awaiting their reflection. Michael Turner

Sites of AssemblyMORRIS AND HELEN BELKIN ART GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Jun 23-Aug 13, 2017 The increasedinternational presence of artists Geoffrey Farmer, Brian Jungen, and Liz Magor has played a largepart in broadening perceptions of Vancouver from a photo-based town to one conversant insculpture and installation.Indeed, it is this very broa-dening that provides thepremise for an exhibitionthat considers the fullrange of photography –from the relationshipbetween the photographerand the photograph to thephotograph as “simultane-ously art and document.”

Co-curated by ActingDirector Lorna Brown andpostdoctoral fellow GabrielleMoser, Sites of Assembly drawsfrom an equally broadrange of collections – theBelkin’s permanent collec-tion, the private collection of UBC art historian John O’Brian and the research archive of Tsimshi-an-Haida scholar Marcia Crosby – to present works “ordered around several themes – propositionsfor the use of public space, whether through buildings, artworks or social activities; the surveillanceof the public and performances for the camera; and the way that photographic records createpotential histories for Vancouver.”

Viewers familiar with an earlier generation of Vancouver-based conceptual photographers willappreciate entries like N.E. Thing Co.’s “aesthetically-claimed” car lot. But it is the relationshipbetween works such as this and the cracked and vacant foregrounds of Sylvia Grace Borda’sHunter Secondary School Complex, East Kilbride (2005-2006) that remind us how the story of Van-couver photography is not pedagogically singular but critically plural.

Conservator’s Corner BY CHERYLE HARRISON

Concerto – A Public Art RemediationPublic art enhances our environments and daily lives. Its influence is felt in a passing moment as you catcha glimpse of a mural while en route, or allow yourself the time to linger and appreciate public art in a plazaon a sunny day.

Concerto is a part of the University of British Columbia’s Outdoor Art Collection. It is a welded coppersheet sculpture, installed on an exterior wall of the Buchanan Building when Concerto was created in 1961.The artist Gerhard Class worked in stone and steel, and many of his artworks are distributed throughout

the Vancouver area, Canada, and Europe.

What can happen to art in public places?Fifty-five years of a salty outdoor environment, direct sun-

light and heat, cold, and Northwest Coast rainy conditions –have all contributed to the evolution of Concerto’s original grey-white finish. Its present-day patina is a striking collection ofdrips, colour variances and visually active patterns.

This sculpture’s installation with a bench situated beneath itpermitted close encounters with the public in the past. Over time,welded seams along the joints of its structure were detached andseparated. Its pipe and metal armature were weakened. Birds nest-ed on its back-side framework and spider webs, mud wasps’ nests,rust marks from Coke cans, splatters of bird guano, dead bugs,scrapes, surface grime, and drips reveal the physical history of thispiece.

Earlier repairs included grinding the surface with power toolsand failed welding that resulted in the loss of patina and areas of the sculpture being compromised. Thismost recent collaborative preservation project combined two specialists, myself as conservator and onsiteproject manager, and Carl Schlichting, a sculptor and museum mount expert, in partnership with the BelkinArt Gallery and UBC.

The process for repairing Concerto included studying the sculpture to evaluate its design, materials, con-struction, and varying conditions. Archival images were indispensable in determining correct angles andshapes of missing sections, for creating mock-ups,and preparing for the sculpture’s structural recon-struction work.

After testing and planning, the sculpture’smissing sections were reconstructed in new cop-per sheeting. The bent areas were straightenedand the armature reinforced. Welding along jointssecured unstable areas and separated seams wererejoined into place. Once the structural work wascompleted, the front and back of the sculpture wascleaned. The new copper sections were degreasedand prepared for patina reconstruction.

Comprehensive research and testing ofmaterials, evaluation of patina formulas, andsample production were required to recreate an acceptable patina for the new copper, and for ttherepaired or selected areas missing the original patina. The reconstructed patina needed to be compatibleand enduring to visually evolve with the sculpture’s original patina in its outdoor environment.

Concerto has now been re-installed in its original location and will continue to be monitored in thisnew stage of its lifecycle as public art. This sculpture becomes more inspiring with the exploration of itsdesign – come visit and experience UBC’s Public Art Tour.

Joel Mara: A Solo Exhibition of New PaintingsWEST END GALLERY, VICTORIA BC – JUN 17-29, 2017

Joel Mara grew up on the beaches of Campbell River where he loved to spend time watchingthe rhythm of nature unfold around him. This love of the landscape resonates in his iconic, highlytextured oil paintings of West Coast mountains and beaches, and in Mara’s obvious love of the craft:the colours, the brushstrokes, and the impeccable attention to detail.

Joel Mara studied graphic design and illustration at Capilano College and earned a diploma in2004. He went on to study oil painting and acrylic techniques with Susan Falk and Robert Genn,respectively. Since then, hislandscape paintings havebeen exhibited in NewYork, Vancouver, Seattle,and Calgary.

Mara stills spends time innature, exploring and photo-graphing remote locations,as well as plein air painting –experiences that bring aspectacularly vivid realism tohis paintings. “When I beginto draw a horizon line on ablank canvas I am transport-ed,” he writes. “To me itseems I am creating a window to a place … like re-assembling the memory of a place I’ve been tobefore … I want other people to see and experience with me through my paintings. My aim is tocreate a feeling of ‘being there.’” Christine Clark

Jennifer SteinkampPORTLAND ART MUSEUM, PORTLAND OR – Jul 8-Sep 17, 2017 Jennifer Steinkamp is an internationallyrecognized digital media artist who uses the imagery of changing natural forms to create immersiveinstallations.

The Los Angeles-based artist is a pioneer in the field of 3-D animation and has been working in digital media for over 20 years.Her work engages architecturalspace to explore overall ideasabout the intermingling ofmotion, time and the organicworld. Using digital projectionsto convert large spaces,Steinkamp creates highly expe-riential work. Her dramaticinstallations blend togetherphysical and ethereal qualitiesin provocative imaginings thatglorify the phenomenon ofnature and the powerful magni-tude of growth, transforma-tions, and cyclic patterns.

This exhibition includes fourstunning projections, which pri-marily use tree forms to renderhow the environment tracks the passage of time. Orbit, the exhibition’s centerpiece, depicts the mechanicsof a planet morphing throughout its year of orbit and seasonal conditions. Two pieces from Steinkamp’sJudy Crook series represent individual trees going through the phases of blooming and losing leaves. Thefourth piece, Kamp Tree, is a smaller-scale projection created in collaboration with children who attended asummer art camp at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles.

The otherworldliness of Steinkamp’s installations slows us down as viewers to absorb some of the mostevocative aspects of natural sequences and the constancy of the ever-changing world. Her digital simula-tions present an astute and sensitive perception of earthly rhythms and the continuum of time. Allyn Cantor

Practical Art History orConfessions of a Fine Art AppraiserChapter 57. The Case of Claude Breeze

In Art and Architecture in Canada: A Bibliography and Guide to the Literature, Loren Lerner and MaryWilliamson summarized an article by Barry Lord, “From the ‘Deck’ at North Surrey: Landscapeand Figure in the Art of Claude Breeze,” which appeared in artscanada 24 (Aug-Sept 1971). Theircomments included: “The universality of his work derives its authenticity and power from the artist’sdirect experience of the Canadian West Coast and from what is described as a peculiar combinationof hope and despair in Vancouver.”

In his article, Lord, com-menting on the superficialityof the tourist ads that conflatethe natural splendour aroundVancouver with tourism,observed, “it is the glory andthe human effects on its grossexploitation.”

Lord’s article surveyedBreeze’s artistic output from1962 to 1971 for an exhibi-tion entitled Claude Breeze10 Years, held at the Van-couver Art Gallery fromSeptember 29 to October24, 1971. Most of the workreferenced Breeze’s signa-ture compositions , whichfeatured the figure in the landscape; however, the only sculptural piece included in the exhibitionwas the one shown in the picture. Breeze used a sculptural medium to represent human heads sug-gestive of human life long since expired, encased in vitrines resting on plinths – they were deliberate-ly reminiscent of a museum exhibit curio-sity.

Breeze’s paintings spoke to the health and sustainability of the landscape as an important deter-minant for human survivability, and his figures personified an ecological and empathetic relation-ship with their environment.

Lord’s insightful article framed the imagery in the exhibition in terms of a conflict between thenatural and constructed environment but did not offer any solutions.

Breeze’s works continue to remain relevant to this day by insisting on the importance of a sym-biotic relationship with the natural world. Traditional Canadian Northwest Coast First Nations andother Indigenous stories speak to that relationship between human survivability and the naturalworld, and perhaps we, as a society, should learn from their intrinsic truths.

The damaging effects of climate change on the biosphere have been well-documented and fore-shadow the possibility of a disruption of human and other life on the planet. It is obvious that weneed to collectively act to ensure our survival by re-enchanting our understanding of the naturalworld as a necessity for long-term sustainablity and survivability. That is, to re-mythologize the ideaof the magnificient machine, called Earth, whose workings we do not completely understand.

ANNA FIDLER: ETTES AND ESSES Charles A. Hartman Fine Art, Portland,Jun 1-Jul 15 Anna Fidler has created her own visual language with anexotic style that layers painted washes, colored pencil, and pastel intodream-like iterations with seductive linear textures and pointillistdetailing. Her otherworldly paintings, some of which are fairly largefor works on paper, have a visionary quality. This new exhibitiondraws on historical female activists and wartime heroines. The titlereferences suffixes, -ette meaning to make something smaller or imi-tative, and -ess, which denotes the feminine.

CHRISTOS KOUTSOURAS: VENETIAN RED FOR DESPINA Imogen Gallery,Astoria, Aug 12-Sep 5 This August the Imogen Gallery celebrates itsfive-year anniversary in the vibrant arts community of Astoria – a placewhere the confluence of the Columbia River and the Pacific Ocean hasinspired many individuals. Christos Koutsouras, an internationallyrecognized artist from the Greek Island of Samos, has been creatingmoody process-oriented paintings in the town for nearly seven years.For his third solo show at the gallery, he focuses on one of the lastremaining net sheds, an iconic building on Astoria’s waterfront thatspeaks of a bygone era and the lore of the fishing industry.

MICHAEL PAUL MILLER: WILD OLYMPIARusso Lee Gallery, Portland, Jun 1-Jul 1 In his new exhibition, Michael Paul Miller portrays the pristine envi-rons of Olympic National Park on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula in art-work that explores notions of preservation. In the series of circular paintings,reactionary areas of negative space interrupt the traditional landscapeimagery – a compositional device that evokes the dismantling of an idealizedor utopian vision of nature. These depictions move away from Miller’s epicpaintings of post-apocalyptic scenes, yet beckon a closer look at humanity’soverall treatment of our remaining grand wilderness, pointing to the inter-twined notions of survival and hope in the face of decay and destruction.

NATHAN OROSCO: BLUE JAGUAR Blackfish Gallery, Portland, May 30-Jul 1For his first solo show at Blackfish, Nathan Orosco creates mixed-mediasculptures and drawings with imagery loosely inspired by the jaguar, ananimal that once inhabited large portions of the Americas, but hasreached the brink of extinction in the US due to hunting and habitat loss.Orosco’s reflections on the subject take on the form of “altered state” por-traits in concrete, bronze, glass, and other media; his work whollyengages the physical energy of raw materials as an expressive concept.

BEHIND THE BEYOND: PSYCHEDELIC POSTERS AND FASHION IN SANFRANCISCO, 1966-71 Hallie Ford Museum of Art, Salem, Jun 3-Aug 27This summer, the Hallie Ford is transformed as a remembrance to thelate sixties when a counterculture revolution in San Francisco wasreflected in the art, music, and fashion of the time. The show includesposters, garments, historic photos, and other ephemera, as well as avariety of lectures, films, and gallery talks taking place throughout thesummer. This primary exhibit is complemented by Pop Art and OpArt prints from the 1960s that reveal the influential role of these move-ments on the development of the psychedelic style.

Grisha Bruskin – ALEFBET: The Alphabet of MemoryOREGON JEWISH MUSEUM AND CENTER FOR HOLOCAUST EDUCATION, PORTLAND OR – Jun 11-Oct 1,2017 For its inaugural exhibition at their new location on Portland’s North Park Blocks, the OJMCHEbrings the work of internationally known Russian-Jewish artist Grisha Bruskin to Oregon. This is the

first North American appearance of this prominentseries of large-scale tapestries, which have previouslybeen shown in Amsterdam, Paris, Venice andMoscow. Created on traditional vertical looms with ateam of master weavers in the artist’s Moscow studio,the works draw on the thousand-year-old Jewish tra-dition of the Talmud and Kabbalah, as well as HebrewBible allegories and Russian folklore. The preparatorydrawings and subsequent gouache paintings necessaryto complete a project of this magnitude round out thestunning visual impact and narrative power ofBruskin’s work.

This landmark exhibition is an important step forOJMCHE as the institution expands its presence,doubling in size to a 15,000-square-foot museumfocusing on education, historical archives and con-temporary art on an international level. Bruce Guen-ther (formerly of PAM) is curating the inaugural yearof exhibitions for the museum; he identified Bruskinas an “artist whose work transcends the commonplaceand takes the viewer into a highly ritualized alternateworld of deep history, Jewish identity, and spirituality.”

Grisha Bruskin is also the senior artist representingRussia at the 2017 Venice Biennale; he currently divides his time between studios in New York andMoscow. Allyn Cantor

Bellingham National 2017 Juried Art ExhibitionWHATCOM MUSEUM, BELLINGHAMWA – Jun 10-Sep 10, 2017 Catharina Manchanda, the Jon and MaryShirley Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at Seattle Art Museum, has selected paintings, sculp-ture, photographs, and other media by 28 artists from Washington State, New York, Oregon, California,

Colorado, and South Carolina.Over 200 artists entered thecompetition, which is becom-ing a hallmark for the region inthat larger museums such asSAM have dropped out of thejuried annuals and biennials.Manchanda, who has organizedshows on Miró, John LutherAdams and Moyra Daveyamong others, favors social-narrative imagery as well asabstraction.

Among the 11 Seattleartists, several, like Margie Livingston, have national reputations for expanding the purview of paint-ing; in Livingston’s case, to include painted, shredded canvases. Victoria Haven, who studied at Gold-smiths College in London, reinvents minimalism with thin strands of adhesive papers that combineinto wall-filling installations.

Ann Leda Shapiro of Vashon Island, WA, an artist rediscovered by Manchanda, had the distinctionof being censored out of her 1973 solo show at the Whitney Museum of American Art, so explicit washer feminist-based imagery. Woman Landing on Man in the Moon set a transgendered astronaut on thelunar surface. This big survey should be livelier than most. Matthew Kangas

40th Anniversary ShowTRAVER GALLERY, SEATTLE WA – Jul 6-29, 2017When William Traver opened his gallery on FourthAvenue in 1977, there was nothing else in the city’ssleepy downtown artist quarter of Belltown. Within afew years, he was joined by other emerging spaces, butof the group, he is the only one still here, now on UnionStreet. Why?

Fortunately, Traver coincided with the rise of thePilchuck Glass School. Traver, and later, Traver Sutton,became the go-to gallery for glass artists – first fromPilchuck, then from all over the US, and now from allover the world. At the same time, in common with oth-er Seattle galleries like Foster/White, glass was exhibit-ed alongside paintings and sculptures, photography andprints.

For their 40th anniversary, Traver and gallery direc-tor Jeffery Kuiper invited 40 artists associated with thegallery over the years and responsible for its success.They include glass giants like Lino Tagliapietra, DanteMarioni and Jane Rosen, along with painters MerrillWagner and Jef Gunn, and sculptors Rik Allen, LynnWhitford, Tip Toland and Mark Zirpel. With high standards for lighting and exhibition design, Traverwas also the first Seattle gallery to regularly issue catalogues, monographs, and posters. Matthew Kangas

WHITING TENNIS: PAINTING, DRAWING AND SCULPTURE Museum ofNorthwest Art, La Conner, Jul 1-Sep 24 With his debut in Barcelona at age26, Tennis has also exhibited widely in New York, Massachusetts, Connecti-cut, and Oregon, where his mid-career survey was held at the Hallie FordMuseum of Art. MONA curator Kathleen Moles focuses on drawings,paintings, and sculptures that trace line and form. An anomaly who exca-vates aspects of early modernism without a whiff of irony, Tennis had anearlier solo show at White Columns in New York City. We need to take acloser look at this perplexing, often uneven, artist.

DORIS CHASE Henry Art Gallery, Seattle, Jul 8-Oct 1 The toast of NewYork in the 1960s – ARTnews and Artforum loved her – Doris Chase(1923–2008) started out as a Seattle painter, showed in Manhattan togreat acclaim, and moved there permanently in 1972. A pioneer ofmodular sculptures as props, Chase’s videos of the performers led toher current status as the historic godmother of dance video. The Hen-ry will show these early videos and perhaps some of her later, one-woman playlets for Swiss television with aging stars such as LuiseRainer, Anne Jackson, and Joan Plowright.

SARAH FETTERMAN: PAST SELVES Center On Contemporary Art, Seat-tle, Jun 17-Jul 29 Collaborating with software engineer Jack Christo-foro and dancer Hannah Simmons, Fetterman videotapes the after-math of Simmons immersing herself in flour and rubbing against theCOCA walls (à la Yves Klein). As visitors enter, they trigger a videostream by sitting on a sculpture, layering their presence with Sim-mons’s. Fetterman advances Doris Chase’s dance videos and expandsthe whole notion of performative sculpture.

PAUL KOMADA – MONUMENT IN MEMORY: ABSTRACT ALASKAN WAYGallery4Culture, Seattle, Jun 1-29 Using a rare King County govern-ment cultural grant of USD $6,500, multimedia artist Komadaaddresses the past, present and future of the State Route 99 AlaskanWay Viaduct – the hideous 1954 two-level concrete barrier betweendowntown Seattle and its waterfront, due to be demolished in 2019after a new tunnel is built. Using video, soft sculpture, Chroma-keytechnology, and sound, he explores “what the Viaduct is to me andhow it is a non-monument monument.” Two flat-screen TVs, a blue-tarp “tapestry,” and found film footage complete the installation.

GAYLEN HANSEN Linda Hodges Gallery, Seattle, Jun 1-Jul 1 Now 95,the Washington State University professor emeritus leapt onto thenational art scene when legendary curator Marcia Tucker put him inSustained Visions at the New Museum in New York in 1979. Personalfigurative-narrative painting couldn’t have been more outré at thetime, but Tucker could tell Hansen was way ahead of the curve. Thisled to successful shows in Berlin and New York, and four retrospec-tives with monographs. Hansen examines impending natural ecolog-ical catastrophes, agricultural disasters, and other mishaps – all treat-ed humorously and painted with a marvelous dry touch.

CLOSE UP: Virginia Bloedel WrightArt Collector, Educator, Rebel - Big Picture: Art After 1945SEATTLE ART MUSEUM, SEATTLE WA – Jul 23-ongoing “Wehave concluded that if a painting is easy to like, we probablyshould be suspicious of it. A good painting should shake up atfirst,” noted Virginia Bloedel Wright in a 1962 Seattle Timesinterview, part of a heated controversy she and her husbandBagley (1924–2011) found themselves at the center of,defending the American art section at the Seattle World’sFair.

Curated by art critic Sam Hunter, the survey broughthuge amounts of the New York School to Seattle for the firsttime. To be so defiant in defending the avant-garde in stuffyold Seattle took courage. The public response was outrage,parroted by the newspapers.

Fifty-five years later, Virginia Bloedel Wright is havingthe last laugh. The artists she championed now comprise theundisputed pantheon of mid-century modern art. Shesmiled as she recalled that Jasper Johns’s masterpiece, Ther-mometer (1959) “was the only one that hadn’t sold (at Johns’second Leo Castelli show) so I had to have it, a no-brainer,sort of ‘Let’s do it!’ very much on impulse.” Wright slowlyadds sotto voce, “and it was twelve hundred dollars …” Backin 1962, she said “we’ve had it in the dining room for severalmonths now, and we wouldn’t be without it.”

Thankfully, visitors can share the warmth of Thermometer and other examples of the Wrights’ gen-erosity. Matthew Kangas
