SEATTLE ART MUSEUM, SEATTLE WA – Oct 1, 2015-Jan 10, 2016 With the East Wing of the National
Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, closed for renovation, the nation’s premier publicly owned art
museum is sending on tour, for the first time ever,
68 paintings from the permanent French Impressionist collection.
Like so many tales of American cultural
largesse, the collection and building are family stories – those of the Mellons and the Bruces.
Andrew Mellon, treasury secretary under President Warren Harding, offered to pay for the
building to help cover some unsightly back taxes.
His daughter, Ailsa, married diplomat David
Bruce. She formed one of three family Impressionist collections, the other two being that of her
father and that of her brother, Paul Mellon
(although the latter favoured equestrian painter
George Stubbs and built the Yale Center for
British Art to house his finds).
The smaller scale of the pictures in this NGA
collection reminds us of the French artists’ upper
middle-class patrons and their smaller Paris
apartments. The diminutive size of the works is Paul Gauguin, Self-Portrait Dedicated to Carrière (1888 or 1889),
oil on canvas [Seattle Art Museum, Seattle WA, Oct 1-Jan 10]
often matched by their “small,” intimate subjects of
daily life: bathing models, moody teenage girls, lazy summer lunches with friends, and ripe, wilting still
lifes of flowers and fruits.
Hot tip: Make reservations for more than one visit. Matthew Kangas

ROBIN LAuReNCe
HERE AND THERE Alberta Craft Council Gallery, Edmonton, Jul 11Oct 3 This group show spotlights 17 Alberta Craft Council artists
who have not only enjoyed success at home but also developed their
careers internationally. One of the criteria here is that the work on
view has been either produced abroad or influenced by knowledge
and experience gleaned from abroad. Among the contemporary and
heritage crafts on display are Dirk van Wyk’s banner of handmade
paper stitched with polyester thread, Tyler Rock’s surreal glass sculpture, and Dawn Deterando’s ceramic “pie.”
SEAN CAULFIELD Alberta Printmakers Gallery and Studio (Art Commons +15 Window), Calgary, Aug 15-Sep 26 Through his installation of large-scale woodblock prints, Sean Caulfield continues his
interest in “blurring the boundaries between the biological and the
technological, the organic and the mechanical.” His images feature
hybrid forms that investigate ideas of mutation, metamorphosis
and the ways our understanding of science shape the ways we represent our world. Caulfield’s embrace of the woodblock also
evokes the medium’s long history and its association with early
examples of medical and scientific illustration.
KATIE OHE: ETHOS, NOW AND THEN Herringer Kiss Gallery, Calgary,
Oct 15-Nov 14 A pioneer of abstract sculpture in Alberta, Katie
Ohe is best known for her kinetic and interactive public art in
welded steel. Her organic and geometric forms arise, she says,
from everyday experience that serves as a “doorway” for personal
expression. Among the works on view are her critically acclaimed
series Sculpture Prayer and a new series of kinetic, floor sculptures
titled The Chuckles. Remarkably, given her distinguished history
as an influential senior artist and teacher, this is Ohe’s first exhibition in a commercial gallery.
JOHN CHALKE: SURFACE TENSION Nickle Galleries, Calgary, Oct 15Dec 19 A beloved ceramicist and teacher, the late John Chalke was
born in England in 1940 and arrived in Canada in 1968. Originally
influenced by the pottery traditions of Japan and Korea, he later
responded to the southwestern Albertan landscape with hand-built
sculptures that he called “clay paintings” sculptures. His experiments with form, colour and texture have an almost archaeological
character, suggesting excavations through layers of history and culture. As he once wrote, “My interest has remained inconveniently
multi-faceted in most things ceramic.”
LESLIE POOLE: LANDSCAPE UP CLOSE Scott Gallery, Edmonton,
Oct 17-Nov 7 Over the decades, West Coast painter Leslie Poole
has exercised his representational practice across a range of genres, including still life, self-portraiture and landscape. The latter
has compelled him again and again, even as his focus has
changed from distant wilderness views to close-ups of individual
landscape elements. Working from photographs, he paints isolated aspects of tree trunks, foliage and “ephemeral jigsaw shapes
of sky” as seen through branches.

Chris Cran: Inherent Virtue
SOUTHERN ALBERTA ART GALLERY, LETHBRIDGE AB – Sep 26-Nov 22, 2015 In a 1999 New York Times
article, Kathryn Shattuck relates an anecdote in which Christian Eckert compares the career of Chris
Cran with that of the legendary German artist Gerhard Richter. In recognition of the comparison,
Shattuck declares the Calgary-based Cran to be “nearly there.” How appropriate, then, that in his
first exhibition at the SAAG since 1987’s Inherent Vice, the self-effacing Cran should include a painting
entitled Almost There.
Although Cran’s paintings have
expanded in form and content since
the figurative “boys’ stories” realism
of Inherent Vice, humour remains a
unifying element in canvases that
employ Op, Pop and Photorealism;
the petite genres of portraiture, still life
and landscape; and, as always, the
problem of representation. On this
last topic, Cran is most serious, for it
is the viewer who is responsible for
“filling in the gap between ludicrous
proposition and apparent fact.”
In conjunction with Inherent
Virtue is Chris Cran: Sincerely Yours/ Chris Cran, Mirror (2014), acrylic on board [Southern Alberta Art Gallery, Lethbridge

Petra Malá Miller: Portraits in Light
SOUTHERN ALBERTA ART GALLERY, LETHBRIDGE AB – Sep 26-Nov 22, 2015 Born in the former Czechoslovakia and raised in the southern Moravian village of Blatnice, Petra Malá Miller came to Canada after
completing an MFA at Prague’s Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in 2008. Now a resident of
Lethbridge, her photo-based practice
continues to mine “the poetics of
childhood, of innocence, aging, memory and loss and raises questions surrounding cultural identity, the individual, the family and the community.”
Like that of the noted German
sculptor Martin Honert, much of
Miller’s work is drawn from her earliest experiences. Unlike Honert, however, who constructs his memories
three-dimensionally for the gallery
cube, Miller has her pictures share
space within a photographically staged
present – a method that “filters experiences, memories and reveries through
Petra Malá Miller, Portrait in Light: Annie (2013-15), digital photograph, inkjet print
an emotional process of recollection [Southern Alberta Art Gallery, Lethbridge AB, Sep 26-Nov 22]
and translation.”
For her current exhibition, Miller focuses on “the intersection between the real and the imaginary,
between truth and fiction, memory and forgetting.” As is often the case with her pictures, the viewer is
treated to a range of technical processes, some of which occur inside the camera and all of which owe
something to the contingencies of artificial and natural light. Michael Turner
Art and Expressionism, almost 100
paintings, drawings, prints, books, camera work and video exploring the development and trajectories of Expressionism in

WHATCOM MUSEUM, BELLINGHAM WA – Sep 27,2015-Jan 3, 2016 This diverse exhibit of over 60
artists working in the field of book art is a complex and comprehensive view of the book as an artistic
medium. The survey highlights the medium’s potential with an international roster that includes
artists from Australia, Great Britain,
Canada and the U.S.
With the rise of digital media, the
importance of physical books for communication and knowledge has drastically
changed. Yet artists have long used the
altered book as a new means of expression. This exhibition encapsulates the
varied ways in which books have launched
methods of artistic practice. Artists who
create handmade books, those who
reconfigure and repurpose books using
ancient formats of the scroll and codex,
those who create accordion and pop-up
books, and others are featured.
Unhinged: Book Art on the Cutting Edge Mike Stilkey, Faces in the City 1 & 2 (2013), acrylic on discarded books
also explores a range of subjects, from [Whatcom Museum, Bellingham WA, Sep 27-Jan 3]
metaphysical ideas and political statements
to environmental concerns and matters of human justice and identity. Mixed-media pieces combine
book pages with natural and fabricated materials, and involve extreme altering such as carving, drilling,
grinding and disassembling, which pushes the book medium into the sculptural realm. Artworks intimate in scale, as well as larger installations, provide a fascinating glimpse into the physicality of books
and their power as a vessel for communication.
Veteran artists Doug Beube and Ann Hamilton are included, along with several Washington State
artists and those renowned in the field, such as Guy Laramée, Long-bin Chen and Brian Dettmer.

SETH: DOMINION Art Gallery at Evergreen Cultural Centre,
Coquitlam, Jul 25-Oct 18 Canadian artist Seth (the pen name of
Gregory Gallant) is an acclaimed cartoonist and graphic novelist
and creator of the comic book series Palookaville. He is also the
maker of model buildings, which he has assembled into an installation representing the fictional city Dominion. Dominion conflates aspects of several small Canadian cities in the mid-20th
century as it examines civic politics, business, development, boosterism and social engagement – all with Seth’s characteristic
blend of cynicism and nostalgia.
SILVA: O HORIZON Nanaimo Art Gallery, Nanaimo, Sep 4-Oct 31 Silva, the scientific name for the forest floor, is also the name of an
ambitious project that includes two exhibitions, a publication and
a series of artist talks, tours, readings and performances. The first
of its two exhibitions, O Horizon, uses large-scale sculptural
installations to reflect on holistic ecosystems and the relationship
between language, culture and the natural environment. Site-specific works by Duane Linklater, Gareth Moore, Kika Thorne and
Elias Wakan employ a range of materials, from natural to manufactured.
RECEIPT Hot Art Wet City, Vancouver, Sep 10-25 This happily lowbrow gallery declares its interest in art that is “fun, weird and
accessible.” HAWC’s exhibition, Receipt, takes that playful mandate and seriously runs with it, addressing our society’s everexpanding expenditures on food, booze and drugs. Included with
each work in this group show is a receipt for a meal out or a weekend bender, shining a spotlight on the gap between what we value
as having lasting importance (art) and what we spend our money
on (ephemeral pleasures and sensations).
RYAN GANDER Contemporary Art Gallery, Vancouver, Sep 11-Nov 1
If it’s difficult to get a bead on what UK artist Ryan Gander does;
that may be because his practice is so diverse. His media range
from photography, film, installation, drawing and performance to
paperweights, maps and custom-designed sportswear. Subtitled
“Make every show like it’s your last,” this CAG show of Gander’s
work features an off-site poster project, a video work and sculptures incorporating elements of both playfulness and intellectual
rigour.
JOHN HALL AND ALEXANDRA HAESEKER: PENDULUM/PENDULA
Touchstones Nelson, Nelson, Sep 12-Nov 15 Realist artists John
Hall and Alexandra Haeseker both work from photographs, and
have spent prolonged periods of time in Mexico. Between 1992
and 1998, they collaborated in the production of a series of paintings exploring contemporary Mexican culture, drawing on elements of that country’s festivals, marketplaces and preColumbian and folk art. Their surreal compositions convey the
contrasts of life and death, beauty and grotesquerie, peacefulness
and violence, all of which exist side by side in Mexico.

COLIN GRAHAM: SELECTED WORKS Petley-Jones Gallery, Vancouver, Sep 17-Oct 1 After a distinguished career in arts administration, including the directorship of the Art Gallery of Greater
Victoria from 1951 to 1973, the late Colin Graham began to
make art. He took up painting and became a member of the Limners, a distinguished painters group whose members included
Maxwell Bates, Richard Ciccimarra and others. This exhibition
focuses on the appealing landscapes Graham created in an understated, post-Impressionist style.
REALM OF POSSIBILITIES Chinese Cultural Centre Museum,
Vancouver, Sep 19-Oct 25 This three-person exhibition explores
shifting ways of addressing the meaning of life, the nature of
emotion and our interface with the natural world. Wai Yee Chiu
uses Chinese watercolour in roundel format, sometimes covering
her imagery with resin, to convey passing seasons. Hailien Tam
challenges our perceptions with her close-up colour photographs
of natural forms such as fruits and mushrooms. Synn Kune Loh
creates painting installations that juxtapose human experience
with the vastness of the cosmos.
JAY SENETCHKO: THE BEST OF LIFE Burrard Arts Foundation, Vancouver, Sep 24-Oct 31 Working from photographs found in Life
magazines from the 1960s, Jay Senetchko has created figurative
paintings and collages that pose questions about memory, nostalgia
and “the pathological nature of the North American dream.” Many
of his reconfigured images depict enigmatic and unsettling situations that challenge facile interpretation. He asks us to consider the
persistence of war, drugs, racial tension, the nuclear family and dissembling politicians, from the mid-20th century to the present day.
ELIZABETH D’AGOSTINO: MAKESHIFT Kelowna Art Gallery,
Kelowna, Sep 26-Jan 10 The Toronto-based Elizabeth D’Agostino is an educator, arts administrator and accomplished printmaker. In this exhibition, she wraps the KAG’s Reynolds Gallery with
prints that encompass a range of techniques, such as etching,
serigraphy and collage. Her installation, which also includes
sculptures created out of paper clay and printed Japanese paper,
explores themes and forms derived from the natural world. A fictional narrative is woven through the work’s alternately similar
and disparate elements.
ALEX MORRISON Burnaby Art Gallery, Burnaby, Sep 4-Nov 8, and SFU
Art Gallery, Burnaby, Sep 5-Dec 11 This duo-venue exhibition,
titled Phantoms of a Utopian Will/Like Most Follies, More Than a Joke
and More Than a Whim, presents new and recent work by Canadian
artist Alex Morrison. Morrison investigates built environments as
they reflect the social conditions that bring them into being and
inflect their eventual use. His newly commissioned installations at
the BAG and SFU respond to their widely diverse architectural settings – the Arts and Crafts mansion and the Arthur Ericksondesigned Modernist university complex, respectively.

JG Mair: Utopian Dystopia
ROBERT LYNDS GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Sep 10-Oct 10, 2015 Coined by Thomas More in 1516 to
describe an imaginary Atlantic Ocean society, the word “utopia” has remained in the lexicon and is
used to denote a desire for, and the maintenance of, an ideal place or situation. So present is this word in our culture that it has
spawned an antonym – “dystopia” – to
describe a frightening and undesirable place.
Taken together (as an exhibition title), one
can only imagine how perfectly nasty things
can be.
JG Mair has, for some time now, combined
digital and traditional media to pursue
“themes of control and the management of
information, data and resources” in the production of his work. His current exhibition
features a range of objects and materials, from
machine-shredded documents to layered
paint to terracotta flower pots, presented in an
eerily minimalistic setting. What is not materially present – fear – is represented through
suggestion.

Unheralded Artists

The Life and Art of David Marshall
DAN FAIRCHILD PHOTOGRAPHY
Vancouver sculptor David Marshall wanted everybody to understand, enjoy and touch sculpture. And
because two of his major works – the 2.4 metre (8-foot), semi-abstract marble carvings Three Carrara
are now permanently on display in VanDusen Botanical
Gardens, joining Three Forms, carved onsite during the
1975 Vancouver International Stone Sculpture Symposium – he is a little closer to getting his wish. As his friend
and biographer, I am delighted that people having a light
lunch at the garden’s café can marvel at the newly
installed Three Carrara and perhaps wonder who carved
it and how it got there.
These two Marshall sculptures are still the only ones
the public can admire in Vancouver. For more of Marshall’s work, they have to cross the border and go to
Bellingham.
Marshall (1928–2006) was born on a farm in Alberta,
grew up in Toronto and arrived in Vancouver in the winter of 1948, penniless but determined to become an
artist. He went on to become a founding member of the
Sculptors’ Society of British Columbia, forming lifelong
friendships with other Vancouver sculptors, such as Elek
Imredy, Peter Paul Ochs and Gerhard Class. His life was
about obsessively serving his muse in stone, ceramic,
wood and bronze, but he always felt that the Vancouver
public really didn’t care about his work.
Beginning in 1990, he carved Three Carrara at CapiDavid Marshall, Three Carrara, 1997-98, Carrara marble,
lano College (now Capilano University), after retiring
2.4 m (8 ft) high, VanDusen Botanical Gardens, Vancouver BC
from several decades of teaching there. For two years, he
and his assistant, German Galdamez from El Salvador, carved and polished the white stone. Marshall
only briefly commented on the third piece, reminiscent of a whale, calling it “an animal figure.” The
other two pieces are highly stylized, one angular, the other rounded. Together, they reprise recurring
themes in Marshall’s work: relationships between man, woman and Nature.
When I wrote The Life and Art of David Marshall, the first book in the acclaimed series Unheralded
Artists of BC, I knew Marshall considered touch the key to sculpture’s power to communicate in a preverbal, visceral manner. He felt that the secret to experiencing sculpture is sensual as well as visual and
intellectual. “You can fool the eye, but not the hand,” he used to say. Marshall admired the Inuit, who
carved some of their work specifically for the sense of touch, the first sense humans develop in the
womb. He saw the Inuit integration of art into everyday life as the ideal.
But Marshall was no Inuit carver; he spent most of his life doggedly pursuing perfection in his
backyard studio while his admirers, a group of fellow artists and serious collectors scattered across the
globe, pushed for the international recognition they felt he deserved. Even while ill, he was planning
new bronze castings and sketching new works as friends and fellow artists came to say goodbye. Marshall died at age 78.
This article is based on the book of the same name, the first book in the Unheralded Artists of British Columbia
series (Mother Tongue Publishing), which illustrates and explores the lives and art of important but previously undocumented BC artists from the 1900s through the 1960s. The books are available at the Vancouver Art Gallery Shop
and other venues, as well as from mothertonguepublishing.com.

MORRIS AND HELEN BELKIN ART GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Sep 11-Dec 13, 2015 Now in her fourth
decade of exhibiting, the Berlin-based Maria Eichhorn is renowned for combining conceptual operations, relational engagements and institutional critiques in the production of works that manifest as
photographs, films and appropriated images. Central
to her practice is an examination of power and its distribution throughout our variant, and at times
abstract, economies.
For Eichhorn’s first exhibition in Vancouver, the
Belkin has mounted two ongoing pieces: Prohibited
Imports (2003/2008 and 2015) and Film Lexicon of Sexual Practices (1999/2005/2008/2014/2015).
First realized for an exhibition in Tokyo in 2003,
Prohibited Imports began when Eichhorn mailed several books to the gallery hoping they would be intercepted and censored by customs officials. The result
is a series of within-the-lines white-out redactions of
images from a Robert Mapplethorpe catalogue, which
the artist displays in a vitrine.
In Film Lexicon of Sexual Practices – a cumulative
work that grows with each showing – a list of threeminute activity-titled films is made available to gallery
patrons who, in choosing one, are met by its projectionist. Michael Turner

Marcus Bowcott: Endlessly Rocking
PENDULUM GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Aug 25-Sep 18, 2015 Those who frequent the Science World
stretch of Vancouver’s Quebec Street will have noticed a stack of five multi-coloured cars placed atop
a nearly 7-metre (20-foot) old-growth cedar tree. Entitled Trans Am Totem (2015), the work is the
brainchild of Vancouver’s Marcus Bowcott, an
artist long fascinated with the “complex relationship between natural and industrial landscapes,”
a relationship in which the automobile figures
largely.
Included in Bowcott’s current exhibition are
paintings, maquettes and photographs that relate
to our culture’s often-outsized carbon footprint.
Many of these are attuned to the cruelties of consumption as well as to a topic that has driven
many Lower Mainlanders crazy of late: mass
transportation. For those viewers interested in
variations on Bowcott’s totem, the exhibition
includes a series of oil-on-Mylar paintings that
feature the cars, sans cedar and scenery.
Most notable in the show is the debut of a
new work by Bowcott: a stripped-down, full-scale
Trans-Am designed to respond both visually and
kinetically to Alan Storey’s equally rocking Broken Column (1987) – a work so resonant to Vancouverites that they named the gallery after its Marcus Bowcott, Trans Am Totem (Yellow/Orange & Red) (2015), oil
on Mylar [Pendulum Gallery, Vancouver BC, Aug 25-Sep 18]

Jeroen Witvliet: Wayfarer
KELOWNA ART GALLERY, KELOWNA BC – Jul 25-Oct 18, 2015 This exhibition draws its name from
the title of a 16th-century oil-on-panel painting by Hieronymus Bosch, which hangs on the walls of the
Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Jeroen Witvliet’s hometown of Rotterdam. That Bosch’s The
Wayfarer (1510) is believed to be a fragment of a larger work provides an imaginative entrance to an exhibition billed by
the KAG as “a complete experience, an
installation, rather than a gathering of
discrete works.”
Like Bosch, Witvliet is interested in
the fantastic, particularly as it extends to
the darker side of life. In illustrative
paintings such as The Path (2015), The
Raft, Part 1 (2015) and The Tower (2015),
Witvliet employs a recurrent motif based
on the loose arrangement of sticks. This
formal device brings to mind the forest
paintings of Jack Shadbolt or, more
recently, the tangled underbrushes of
Gordon Smith.
In addition to the Wayfarer works,
Witvliet’s exhibition includes a series of
paintings focused on relationships
between human hands. Whether these Jeroen Witvliet, Toad (2015), oil on canvas [Kelowna Art Gallery, Kelowna BC,
hands are clasping or grasping at one Jul 25-Oct 18]
another is at times uncertain. What is
clear, though, is that the behaviour of these hands and the arrangement of sticks in the Wayfarer paintings are not unrelated. Michael Turner

Chapter 48. The Case of the M.S. Nov 1910
I remember it was a Sunday afternoon, about 1964. My dad took my younger brother and me to an old,
abandoned farmhouse not far from where we lived in Castlereagh, Northern Ireland. The building had
not been occupied for many years. Inside, remnants of past habitation were strewn about and, amid the
debris, I found a small unframed
oil-on-canvas painting with a large
scratch across its surface. I can’t
remember why we were there, other than to perform some nostalgic
homage to a place that had meaning for my dad. Only later did I discover it had been his boyhood
home.
I asked my dad if I could keep
the painting, and he said yes. I also
asked if he knew who painted it,
and he said he didn’t, but he
thought it was done by a relative. It
was initialled and dated in the lower right, “M.S. Nov 1910.”
When I got home later that
Untitled, M.S. Nov 1910
afternoon, I took out my oil paints
and tried to cover up the scratch
with what I thought was the right shade of colour. My attempts were unsuccessful, and the scratch
became a noticable slash of viridian green across a modulated sky. I decided to keep the painting anyway, because I liked the imagery: fishermen in two rowboats out on a seemingly calm sea or lake, at
dawn or dusk, as evidenced by a beautifully painted rising or setting sun.
On the stretcher at the back of the piece was written, in pencil, what appeared to be a name and
address. However, try as I might, I was unable to read these.
More than a decade later, about 1977, I had the painting restored by a qualified restorer who did an
excellent job. I also had it framed, and hung it on my living room wall.
As a budding amateur art historian, I tried from time to time to research the signature and date and
identify the artist. All I had to go on, from my dad, was that the artist was a relative with the initials M.S.
and that he or she had painted the piece in 1910.
Over many years, my efforts were in vain. I did discover a relative, my grandfather’s sister Mabel,
whose married initials were M.S. However, she was born in 1898, and would have been 12 years old in
1910 – and unmarried, so her initials would still have been M.F.
Fortunately, several members of my family had an active interest in geneology, and I was therefore
aware of many ancestors dating back to 1770. Although for a time I lost contact with those instrumental
in creating and updating our family tree, I recently reconnected with its makers by accident, on the
Internet, and discovered that the tree had been expanded with new information.
And so at last, more than 50 years later, I think I’ve solved the mystery of the identity of the artist.
A brief review of the updated family tree suggests that the artist was probably my third cousin, Minnie
Somerset, born about 1876.

Heather Talbot: Magical Worlds
BRITANNIA ART GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Oct 7-30, 2015 Heather Talbot’s interest in Eastern
philosophy and quantum theory was in place long before her move to Vancouver from the U.K.
four years ago. Coming to the West Coast only
enriched this interest and allowed for a more extensive “exploration into concepts of interdependence,
interconnectedness and the transient nature of reality.” In Magical Worlds, Talbot charts her exploration through the patterned and recurrent behaviour of bees.
At first glance, Talbot’s bee pictures could be
mistaken for photographic prints. However, as one
moves closer to them, their surfaces rise up like
goose bumps, turning from paper to fabric covered
in what turns out to be stitches, which Talbot sees as
“allegorical to atoms.” When taken together with
their pictorial content, these stitches can also be
seen as akin to honeycombs inside a hive or to the
pollen deposits held within them.
Embroidery on photo transfer is by no means a
groundbreaking artistic process. However, what
makes Talbot’s project resonant and gives her pictures their overtone is the relationship of form
(tapestry) to content (the work of honeybees). It’s

embroidery on photo transfer [Britannia Art Gallery,

Anna Banana: 45 Years of Fooling Around with A. Banana
OPEN SPACE, VICTORIA BC – Sep 19-Oct 24, 2015
ART GALLERY OF GREATER VICTORIA, VICTORIA BC – Sep 19, 2015-Jan 3, 2016 With over 1,000
works displayed in two venues, the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria and Open Space, this exhibition
provides an incredible opportunity to experience the Anna Banana phenomenon. Co-curated by
Michelle Jacques and Helen Marzolf, this show includes an almost endless array of collages, artistamps, magazines, posters,
trading cards and videos, all
generated over the course of
Banana’s long career, beginning
in the early 1970s.
Says Jacques: “The path of
Banana’s career was not usually
apparent to the mainstream art
world. Yet, because of her commitment to collaboration and
interactivity, and her participation in the mail art network, she
has been hugely influential
around the world. It’s wonderful
to be able to be telling her story
here in Victoria, the city where
Anna Banana, But, is it Art?, 2009 installation at Weserberg Museum of Modern Art, Bremen,
she was born.”
Germany [Open Space, Sep 19-Oct 24 / Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, Sep 19-Jan 3]
In true Banana style, there
will also be participatory events to attend, one of which takes place at Open Space. At this event,
called Regifting the Bananas, the artist will be in residence and will invite visitors to choose from the
multitude of banana items she has received through the mail art network: toys, kitchen gadgets,
clothes, jewellery, accessories and more. She is giving the whole collection away, and all one has to do
in exchange for a selected item is complete a cataloguing form for it. Christine Clark

ELIZABETH LEACH GALLERY, PORTLAND OR – Sept 3-26, 2015 Portland artist Michelle Ross is known
for formal abstractions that mirror universal themes. While creating new conceptual and aesthetic
relationships, her material-based compositions focus
on specific arrangements and the experiences evoked
by simple associations made between form, colour
and space.
Ross is the recipient of a Hallie Ford Fellowship,
a Portland Art Museum Contemporary Northwest
Art Award, a McDowell Fellowship and numerous
other grants and awards. Her artistic oeuvre is
grounded in a solid vision of abstraction, while her
choices in media vary from digital collage and deconstructed “paintings” based in fabric to mixed-media
oil paintings that employ materials like paper, plaster,
linen, graphite, chalk and house paint.
For this new exhibition, Ross demonstrates a freedom and looseness in her brushwork and painting.
Her focus turns to layered hues and textured surfaces
that reference similar abstract forms from earlier
bodies of work. In these quiet, contemplative compositions, Ross rejuvenates space with an expressive take
on geometric shapes and shifting planes of colour that
push depth and spatial perceptions and evoke mutable physical responses that are beyond language. Michelle Ross, A moon moth moved (2014-15), oil, paper,
Through saturation and lightness, placement and plaster and graphite on birch panel [Elizabeth Leach Gallery,
effect, Ross brings forth a transformative element Portland OR, Sep 3-26]
that makes her tonal abstractions feel as equally balanced in the poetic sense as they do in the formal
realm. Allyn Cantor

ALLYN CANTOR
RAE MAHAFFEY: SO-AND-SO Laura Russo Gallery, Portland, Sep 3-26
Rae Mahaffey investigates the possibilities of colour, pattern and repetition in vibrant and stimulating oil paintings created on woodgrain
panels. The artist is most concerned with formal considerations, which
she calls the “semantics and syntax of visual art.” Her fresh contemporary works utilize systematic compositions and layers of organic and
geometric motifs rendered through a saturated palette. Drama and
luminosity result from the push and pull between structured forms and
chromic textures that echo the woodgrain of her panels.
Rae Mahaffey
HEATHER WATKINS: THIS IS THE ONLY ONE PDX Contemporary Art,
Portland, Sep 1-26 Portland artist Heather Watkins uses experimental
forms of drawing, printmaking, book arts, installation and sculpture
in her studio practice. Her new exhibit includes interrelated bodies of
work that are primarily concerned with their own making over any
singular images. One series begins with the same gesture for each
work, created with vibrant blue ink on linen; the totality is a meditation on variation and movement. In other pieces, Watkins’s ink drawings are records of touch and transmission, describing objects that are
no longer there.

EYEBEAM IN OBJECTS Upfor, Portland, Sep 3-Oct 10 Eyebeam is a New

asked alumni of Eyebeam’s residency program, who work in a myriad
of tech-related forms, to render their work into objects. The exhibit
features Chloë Bass, Zach Blas, James Bridle, Heather Dewey-Hagborg, Zach Gage, Brian House and Addie Wagenknecht, some of
Eyebeam’s most forward-looking and adventurous artists.

SEEING NATURE: LANDSCAPE MASTERWORKS FROM THE PAUL G.
ALLEN FAMILY COLLECTION Portland Art Museum, Portland, Oct 10-Jan
10 This major exhibition presents five centuries of masterworks that
trace the evolution of European and American landscape painting. Never before exhibited together, exquisite pieces by William Turner and
Paul Cézanne provide glimpses into some of the genre’s innovators,
while paintings by Thomas Moran, Edward Hopper and Georgia O’Keeffe provide an American perspective. A rare Gustav Klimt landscape
and five canvases by French Impressionist Claude Monet are highlights
of this exhibit, which will travel after its première at PAM.

COURTESY OF THE ARTIST AND PRESENTATION HOUSE GALLERY
PRESENTATION HOUSE GALLERY, NORTH VANCOUVER BC – Sep 30-Nov 8, 2015 The title of this exhibition comes from a 1970 book and touring exhibition organized by Vancouver artist/editor/curators
Michael de Courcy and Jack Dale.
Both works were originally commissioned by the Stills Division of
the National Film Board of Canada. Presentation House has now
republished the book and reoriented the initial exhibition to include
new elements.
Those unfamiliar with the
original book will be struck by its
composition and design – a portfolio-style publication that contains within it 15 booklets. Among
the photographic subjects taken
up by its contributors, particular
attention was paid to landscapes, Tim Porter, Cadillac, Montreal (1971), silver gelatin photograph [Presentation House Gallery,
motorways, totem poles, nudity, North Vancouver BC, Sep 30-Nov 8]
pregnancy and clothing.
Most remarkable about de Courcy and Dale’s project is how close it comes to capturing the full range
of artistic activities that emerged in Vancouver in the 1960s. Represented here are Judith Eglington, early
intermedia artist Roy Kiyooka, photo-conceptualists Christos Dikeakos and N.E. Thing Co., and the
Fluxus-influenced art-as-life practitioners Glenn Lewis and Michael Morris. Michael Turner

NOT VANISHING: CONTEMPORARY EXPRESSIONS IN INDIGENOUS ART,
1977-2015 Museum of Northwest Art, La Conner, Oct 10, 2015-Jan 3,
2016 Some time ago, living Native American and First Nations
artists stopped waiting for Anglo curators to recognize them and discourse with them. So, people like Gail Tremblay of Evergreen State
College organized shows of their own. Her big survey, Not Vanishing,
brings the record up-to-date on how individual indigenous artists
confront traditional materials and various aspects of cultural baggage.
British Columbia artists are included here, as well as Puget Sound
and Plateau tribal members.
FRANZ ERHARD WALTHER Henry Art Gallery, University of Washington,
Seattle, Oct 31, 2015-Mar 6, 2016 Following up on his knockout
debut last year of German artist Katinka Bock’s Katinka Bock: A & I,
Henry Gallery deputy-director Luis Croquer scores another coup
with the first U.S. show of Franz Erhard Walther. Active since the
1960s and included in the important Spaces exhibit at MOMA, NY,
in 1970 with Michael Asher, Robert Morris and Dan Flavin,
Walther continues with their site-based sculptures and installations
for the Henry.
Z.Z. WEI Patricia Rovzar Gallery, Seattle, Sep 3-28 For all their serenity,
Z.Z. Wei’s eastern Washington landscape scenes have an eerie lifelessness that has been underappreciated. Are his people in pastoral paradise hiding from authorities, or are they all in church on a Sunday
morning? Wei’s perfect achievement of intentional ambiguity is part
of his staying power and enduring appeal. With stylized effects firmly
in place, the pictures resemble a created, formerly bucolic world that
looks increasingly haunted, yet typically consoling.
PAUL VEXLER: TWISTED Foster/White Gallery, Seattle, Sep 3-26, and
Boise Art Museum, Boise, ID, Jun 20, 2015-May 8, 2016 For his fifth
solo show at Foster/White Gallery, sculptor Paul Vexler continues
in his vein of twisted and turned, fused and laminated wooden ribbons and strips. This new work of Vexler, who is a recipient of two
recent commissions in Taipei, Taiwan, coincides with a major installation at Boise Art Museum. Mechanically kinetic, interlocking jigsaw-form wall sculptures are also on view, along with suspended and
freestanding works. Reclaimed and recycled plywood has never
looked so good.

RIK ALLEN: NEW WORKS Traver Gallery, Seattle, Oct 1-31 Is there such
a thing as Sci-Fi Goth or Goth Sci-Fi? If so, its avatar in mixed-media
glass sculpture must be Rik Allen. As if huge honours at the Science
Fiction Museum in Seattle were not enough, the Spark Museum of
Electrical Invention in Bellingham acquired one of Allen’s unusual
sentinels. Boeing Co., Star Trek’s Gene Roddenberry and Amazon
head, Jeff Bezos, have as well. The Blue Origin aerospace company of
Kent, WA, has made inquiries to procure one also.

Ron Moppett: SCULPTUR(AL)
NICKLE GALLERIES, CALGARY AB – Sep 24-Dec 19, 2015 The melding of painting and sculpture
has as many origin stories as Modernism itself. For some, it begins with Kurt Schwitters’s collages;
for others, with Robert Rauschenberg’s “combine” paintings or with Lucio Fontana’s slashed monochromes. Judging from Ron Moppett’s recent works, the question of “origin” might lie not in what
painting can do for sculpture, but in what sculpture can do for painting.
Among the more notable works in SCULPTUR(AL) is DawnLightningField (2014). Here we see
the presence, if not the influence,
of Rauschenberg, of hard-edge
painting and documentary photography, as well as of Duchamp and
indeed of sculpture’s arguable successor – installation. Leave it to the
physical imperatives of sculptural
viewing to get us looking ever
harder at what stands – and hangs –
as painting.
A respected colourist and visual
art educator, Moppett has, over his
50-year career, produced a body of
work that teaches as much as it
pleases. What viewers might take

Exhibition Catalogues of Interest
LEO SAUL BERK: STRUCTURE AND ORNAMENT was published by the Frye Art
Museum for Berk’s recent exhibition and for The Uncertainty of Enclosure exhibition at the University of Wisconsin’s INOVA. This publication contains lavish
colour illustrations of the works featured in these exhibits, which draw from
Berk’s experience growing up in the unconventional Ford House, designed by
architect Bruce Goff. Scholarly essays and a conversation between Berk and Scott
Lawrimore provide insight into Berk’s vision of “the transformative potential of
exceptional architecture.”
Hardcover, 84 pp., $28 USD. Available online at Frye Art Museum Store, 206-432-8201
or store@fryemuseum.org.
WAYFARER: JEROEN WITVLIET is the catalogue for the Kelowna Art Gallery exhibition of the same name (on until Oct 18) of recent paintings by this Netherlandsborn, Victoria-based artist. Witvliet’s subjects, from shipwrecks to complex piles
of debris, communicate an eerie, dystopian mood. Working in shades of black
and grey with occasional ribbons of colour, he conjures images of destruction
and collapse (and alludes to a painting by the 15th-century Dutch painter
Hieronymus Bosch).
Softcover, 45 pp., $12 CAD. Available at the Kelowna Art Gallery, 250-762-2226.
THE LIFE AND ART OF JACK AKROYD accompanied a recent retrospective at the
Burnaby Art Gallery. Well researched and richly illustrated, the book is a critical
biography written by Peter Busby (the author, not the architect) about a largely
overlooked artist. Akroyd immigrated to Canada from England in 1948 and, after
studying art in Toronto, moved to Vancouver, where he drew and painted detailed
and often surreal figurative scenes and landscapes. Published by Mother Tongue
as part of its Unheralded Artists of BC series.
Softcover, 156 pp., $35.95 CAD. Available at the Burnaby Art Gallery, 604-297-4422.
UNSCROLLED: REFRAMING TRADITION IN CHINESE CONTEMPORARY ART,
co-published by the VAG and Black Dog Publishing, is the companion book to
last spring’s exhibition at the Vancouver Art Gallery. The exhibit explored the
formal, aesthetic and philosophical influences of past cultural expressions on
present-day art practice in China. The 10 contemporary artists surveyed, including internationally renowned Ai Weiwei, work across a range of form, medium
and scale, from small ink-wash drawings on rice paper to room-filling, mixedmedia installations.
Hardcover, 159 pp., $29.95 CAD. Available at the Vancouver Art Gallery Store,
604-662-4706.
DANA LYNN LOUIS: CLEARING recalls the exhibition held recently at Lewis &
Clark College’s Hoffman Gallery in Portland. This full-colour catalogue documents
the artist’s immersive exhibition, which transformed the Hoffman gallery into an
ethereal environment that explored the meaning of “clearing” through drawings,
sculpture, photography, projection and sound. Essays by gallery director Linda
Tesner and author David James Duncan provide insight into Louis’s work and
studio practice. A poem by Jennifer Boyden adds another layer of meaning to
Louis’s thoughtful exhibition.
Hardcover, 48 pp., $20 USD. Available at Hoffman Gallery, Lewis & Clark College,
503-768-7687 or www.lclark.edu/hoffman_gallery.

TACOMA ART MUSEUM, TACOMA WA – Oct 3, 2015-Jan 10, 2016 Following on the success of their

Museum chief curator) and Dr.
Jonathan D. Katz are opening Art
AIDS America before a national
tour. Dubbed art made “pre-cocktail” and “post-cocktail” (referring
to the medicine that slowed the disease), this huge 30-year survey of
AIDS art is another lively free-forall mixture of celebration and
grief, defiance and subversion,
anger and joy.
The art is also split between
AIDS-specific art and AIDS-subtle

of AIDS, while Haring’s prints and limited-edition bronzes look surprisingly fresh. One must admit
how deep and wide AIDS’s influence has been as an instigator of political action through artistic practice. Every imaginable genre is included in this exhibition, highlighting the mélange of high and low,
