Chris Millar
TREPANIER BAER, CALGARY AB – Jan 4-26 The insanely
chaotic paintings of Calgary artist Chris Millar appear to
have been created by a run-away Mixmaster spewing maps,
signs and comic books. What appear to be densely layered
collages of figures, text and patterns are actually
impenetrable compositions painted with acrylic on
canvases. Completely idiosyncratic, the distinctive imagery
highlights a new generation of artists influenced by
contemporary mass media.
Millar culls his source material from comic books, manga,
rock music, video games, television, pop culture and other
artwork to create eccentric pieces filled with fragments of text.
They have been compared to the frenzied pages of Mad magazine and described as “taking the art of doodling to the
extreme” with 000-size paintbrushes. After moving from early
comic-book style layouts to panelled pieces, Miller flouts the
boundaries of the format in his new work to indicate he is just
warming up.
Chris Millar was born in Alberta. He completed a Fine
Arts Diploma at Grant MacEwan Community College,
Edmonton, Alberta (1998), a Bachelor of Fine Arts, Alberta
College of Art and Design in Calgary (2000), and an Alberta
Biennial New Works residency at the Banff Centre (2005).
He was one of 15 semi-finalists in the 2005 RBC Canadian Chris Millar Heads I Made (3) (2006), acrylic on
Painting Competition. His work has been shown at the canvas [TrépanierBaer, Calgary AB, Jan 4-26]

GENERATION
ART GALLERY OF ALBERTA, EDMONTON AB – Jan 19-Mar 24 GENERATION features a selection of
contemporary artists from Canada and the United States, whose work incorporates the icons,
images and ideals of North American youth. From subcultures and street scenes to their pop icons
and dreams, the exhibition provides a small glimpse into the world of teens, the life created for
them and the life they create for themselves.
Over the course of the last century, teen
mores and lifestyles have become the dominant focus of popular culture. In recent years,
teenagers have become an incredible force
within all areas of society and now influence
over $200 billion in sales, driving product
development, advertising and technological
development. 71% of teens have created
online profiles on social networking sites that
are being plumbed by marketers. Their opinions and preferences are used as a basis for
macro-marketing, narrowcasting and strategic
partnerships.
GENERATION showcases work by influential young artists Daniel Barrow, Dan Colen,
Anthony Goicolea, Eliza Griffiths, Justine Kur- Eliza Griffiths, Another Perfect Day (1997), oil on canvas [Art

Shaw and Janet Werner. In various media –
including narrated animations, conceptual sculptures, photographs merged with social commentary,
staged photographs, and paintings exploring sex and gender – the artists explore themes of identityoriented branding. Ironically, the imagery also reveals how technology and marketing cause youth to
respond to the comfort and security of marketing values and direction. Mia Johnson

David Tycho
PETLEY JONES GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Nov 22-Dec 5 David Tycho’s abstract expressionist land-
scapes are based on his frequent backpacking treks to the cinder flats, lava flows and ice fields surrounding Black Tusk, an extinct volcano near Whistler BC.
Tycho brings his own unique energy to lean images of white
snow, black basalt gravel and grey rocks. Painted in a style reminiscent of 1950s abstraction, the minimal works evoke an other-worldly terrain.
Tycho studied art at the University of British Columbia in
the early 1980s under Gordon Smith, an unabashedly vigorous painter of the Pacific West Coast. Subsequent travels in
Japan introduced Tycho to the exquisitely simple painting of
Zen monks. Tycho’s current series of approximately 24 paintings was inspired by numerous trips to the Garibaldi Park
region, where he found something very powerful and magnetic that he couldn’t explain. With the distinctive eroded
mountain top “burned onto [his] subconscious… almost as
an archetypal symbol or motif, much the way Mount Fuji is
to the Japanese”, Tycho embarked on an extensive journey of
integrating the Black Tusk landscape with a personal
approach to painting.
Tycho’s work has been exhibited in Vancouver, Victoria,
Whistler, Edmonton, Seattle, Los Angeles, Geneva, Brussels
David Tycho, Black Tusk #12 (2007), acrylic on and Manila, and is collected worldwide. This is his first solo
canvas [Petley Jones Gallery, Vancouver BC, Nov show in Vancouver in nine years. The powerful paintings

this landscapes with the Group of
Seven, Varley is one of Canada’s
greatest portrait painters of the

the character of his sitters but also
his strength and brilliance as a portrait painter; Thru Jan 6 The 1950

New Market Tax Credits help US Cultural Institutions
to become Property Owners
Since the year 2000, the Museum of Contemporary Craft in Portland is one of the non-profit
groups in the United States to have qualified for assistance from the NMTC Program. This tax
credit scheme is philosophically similar to the Bonused Amenities system that contributes to the
financial well-being of Vancouver's Contemporary Art Gallery, but is very different in the way
that funds are allocated and applied.
As with the Contemporary Art Gallery (the subject of this column in the previous issue of
Preview: The Gallery Guide), this well-respected craft venue had a significant history prior to its
recent move to the DeSoto Project (in the North Park Blocks) located between the Pearl District
and the Old Town-Chinatown area of Portland. The various incarnations of the Museum served
the crafts community since first opening as the Oregon Ceramic Studio in 1937 with WPA
support in the historic Lair Hill area.
Portland arts patron and
developer, Jim Winkler, was
instrumental in realizing a way to
greatly improve the Museum's
amenities and profile. Winkler knew
that the Daisy Kingdom building in
the DeSoto Project was eligible for
placement on the 1976 National
Register of Historic Places, thereby
ensuring Federal funding for
renovations and up-grading. But,
perhaps more importantly, he was
certain that the Museum itself would
be eligible for funding through the
NMTC Program designed to provide The new Museum of Contemporary Craft in Portland
financial assistance to a range of non-profit organizations dedicated to revitalizing communities,
through planned ownership of condominium units in structures such as the DeSoto Building.
By the time the project was ready to open, the Museum was sharing the DeSoto space with
Charles Hartman Fine Art, Blue Sky Gallery (photography), Augen Gallery, Froelick Gallery,
and other business ventures which had benefited from the NMTC Program. The huge street
party on 22 July celebrating the Project's completion, was an enormous success and proved that
Winkler's vision for community enhancement, and for concentration of cultural amenities, had
happened 'big time'. In its new location, the two-level Museum of Contemporary Craft has a
store-front profile on a busy shopping street. The 4,500 square foot space can accommodate a
shop, changing exhibits, an interactive educational program, and an expanding permanent
collection of Pacific Northwest contemporary craft.
How does Vancouver's Bonused Amenities approach compare with the NMTC Program in
the U.S.? A non-profit cultural entity such as the Contemporary Art Gallery has the benefit of a
rent-free, purpose-built space, for twenty years through a specific contract between the City and
a developer, in exchange for granting the developer, for example, the right to build beyond
restrictions for a particular zoning. The Gallery will never own the space and must amass an
endowment fund to cover the rental costs when the subsidized period has ended. The Portland
Museum, on the other hand, received 2.5 million dollars in tax credits as a "cash" infusion
intended for payment towards the mortgage registered against their DeSoto space.

Grant Boland: New Paintings
WINCHESTER GALLERIES-1010 BROAD ST., VICTORIA BC – Nov 29-Dec 24 Well-known Newfound-
land artist Grant Boland is nationally recognized for his impeccable technique and elegant style in
figure studies and still life renderings. He employs
the kind of realism that brought Maritime artists
Christopher Pratt, Mary Pratt and Alex Colville to
international fame. Drawing on the visual vocabulary of American painters Andrew Wyeth and
Edward Hopper, the “Atlantic realist” painters
became known for their smooth surfaces and quiet
graphic content. Dry brush, watercolour or egg
tempera are frequently employed in small-scale
works.
Boland works with oil on panel and drawing
media to create remarkably luminous imagery. In
his second solo exhibit of magic realist paintings at
Victoria’s Winchester Galleries, he applies oblique
perspectives and Baroque elements such as diagonals and asymmetry to enhance the simple compositions. Like his contemporaries, he focuses on the
play of light and shadow, the glowing and reflective Grant Boland, Winter Oranges (2004), oil on board [Winchester

Boland was born in St. Mary’s Bay and studied art at the Sir Wilfred Grenfell College, Memorial
University of Newfoundland in Corner Brook. In 1994 he moved to St. John's where he continues
to live and work. Mia Johnson

Leigh Bridges: Hinterland
BJORNSON KAJIWARA GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Nov 1-30 Hinterland by Vancouver artist Leigh
Bridges is a series of oil and acrylic paintings from 10 inches to 5.5 feet in size inspired by her recent
year living in Berlin. Drawing on art historical sources from 19th Century German romantic landscape painting to colour field abstractions, and with the ad hoc subject matter of her contemporary
Etienne Zack and the high-key hues of photographer Greg Girard, Bridges carves her own visual
territory with oddly littered landscapes and toxic
colours.
Bridges’ paintings are “nominally representational” in the manner of manipulated Polaroid
photos or surrealist dreamscapes. They are psychologically suggestive spaces with titles like
Stump, Garbage and Flower, Debris Shelter or
Sword, Shield and Arrow, where she plays with
camping gear, star formations, ladders, huts, tents
and sparse evergreen trees, all silhouetted against
dramatic blooming skies. She hints: “Perhaps we
are viewing a campsite (park), a children’s tree fort
(backyard), or an isolated survivalist home
Leigh Bridges, Debris Shelter (2007), oil and acrylic on canvas
(wilderness)”, yet the work overall appears to
[Bjornson Kajiwara Gallery, Vancouver BC, Nov 1-30]
allude to more transcendental experiences.
Leigh Bridges graduated from the University
of Victoria with a Master’s in Visual Arts (2005) and from the University of Alberta with a B.F.A.
(1994). Her paintings have a kind of visual and symbolic logic that is not immediately apparent but
extremely tantalizing to decipher. Mia Johnson

Roger Shimomura: Minidoka on My
Mind
www.gregkucera.com
GREG KUCERA GALLERY, SEATTLE WA – Nov 15-Dec 22
Roger Shimomura's latest body of work, Minidoka on My Mind,
reconstructs life inside Camp Minidoka, Idaho, the site of 13,000
internees from Washington, Oregon and Alaska between 194245. As a young Japanese American child, Shimomura was
detained with his parents during World War II in this barren
landscape of sagebrush and dust. He uses his ethnic heritage as a
jumping off point to both reflect on the events of the 1940s war
years and to promote an awareness of the current state of American international affairs.
The Seattle-born artist began dealing with themes of racial
intolerance and stereotypes surrounding his Japanese American
identity in 1969 after arriving to teach at the University of Kansas.
Shimomura applies a graphic/pop treatment to his outlined
subjects, using flat planes of colour to fuse the accessibility of
comic book style with the provocation of a larger social message.
Shimomura's images are distilled from bits of personal memory, passages from his late grandmother's journal, government
publications, books, magazines and a general recollection of what
comes to mind when he thinks of camp. The hastily-built, uninsulated barracks and desolate landscape set a tone for the monotony of their daily life. Depicting a wide range of people and situations framed by pictures of the bleak structures or "blocks", Shi- Roger Shimomura, Block Dance Break #2

The Art of Food
CONCOURSE GALLERY, EMILY CARR INSTITUTE, VANCOUVER Jan 7-16
The Art of Food is a curated exhibition of food-related artworks shown
in conjunction with panel discussions, lectures and films. Sponsored
by the Sandbar Restaurant on Granville Island, the show was conceived and developed by students Debbie Westergaard Tuepah and
Wendi Copeland at the Emily Carr Institute, with guest curators Sadira Rodrigues and Randy Lee Cutler.
Approximately 20 artists are showing work from the fine arts to
animation, film, industrial design, communication design, digital
media and photography. Pieces by ECI alumni, masters candidates
and undergraduate students are featured. As part of The Art of Food
exhibition, a student collaborative run by Justin Novak in Ceramics
has teamed with The Sandbar Restaurant to create customized utilitarian products. Factory is an experiment in mass-production operating within the Ceramics Department of Emily Carr Institute.
The varied artworks reveal the diverse impact of food on our lives and the way it influences our
relationships with environment, health, politics, science, beauty, safety and security. Whether growing, harvesting, preparing or consuming food, people are participating in much wider social experiences than may be readily apparent. Updated information about the exhibit and events can be found

Esperanza is a collaborative exhibition of paintings by
Suzanne Northcott and poetry by Rishma Dunlop.
Northcott and Dunlop have worked together on exhibitions and publications since their first show, The Body of
My Garden (2002), at Linda Lando.
Esperanza, or “hope”, explores themes of individual
and collective memory, hope, childhood, erotic love, the
natural world, and the endurance of the human spirit.
This unique collaboration between women artists
includes multimedia art and textual works, as well as
the performance of poetry. The gentle paintings feature
sand, shells, “molting” petals, butterflies, female figures,
roses and ruins painted in a romantic, semi-abstract
style. Dunlop will be doing several poetry readings during the opening on Thursday, November 1.

On the Beach: Don Coltman (Steffens-Colmer
Ltd.),
www.artspeak.ca
Kristan Horton, Jack Lindsay, Taras Polataiko
Kristan Horton and Taras Polataiko with World War II-era photographs from the Vancouver City
Archives by Don Coltman and Jack Lindsay. Taking as their theme Nevil Shute’s 1957 novel On the
Beach, the exhibit explores notions of catastrophe, unseen ends and the kinds of preparation and
duress leading up to an unknown fate.
The novel and subsequent 1959 film are
set in Australia, where the final remaining
global citizens have survived the effects of
an atomic war which will soon reach them.
The exhibit has a similar apocalyptic atmosphere of impending doom.
Jack Lindsay’s photos of World War II
invasion drills once held in Kitsilano are in
stark contrast with Don Coltman’s images of
leisure activities on the same Vancouver
beaches. A banner by Kristan Horton, a
Toronto-based artist, entitled Repeating HalfFrame, takes the form and language of comic books to present text that appears to terminate before final revelation. Taras
Polataiko, a Vancouver based artist born in Jack Lindsay, Troops landing at Kitsilano Beach during war games
Chernivtsi, Ukraine, explores similar ideas exercises, photo circa 1942 [Artspeak, Vancouver BC, Oct 20-Nov 24]
of political history and memory in his photograph 100 Days to Demobilization. Based on the artist's army experience, where he witnessed soldiers writing the number of service days left in the butter spread on their breakfast bread, the work
reflects an unseen end.
Kristan Horton studied at Guelph University and the Ontario College of Art and Design. His
work has been shown internationally, including at Glassbox (Paris), ZKM (Karlsruhe), Kiasma
Museum of Contemporary Art (Helsinki), and Inter Communications Center (Tokyo). Taras
Polataiko studied at Stroganov Museum of Fine and Industrial Arts, Moscow and the University of
Saskatchewan, and has exhibited widely, including at the Musée d’Art Contemporain de Montréal,
the 25th Sao Paulo Bienale, Soros International Centre for Contemporary Art in Kiev, Warsaw’s
Centre for Contemporary Art, the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, and Lombard-Freid Fine Arts,

Tony Anguhalluq: Drawings andpreview
Sculptures
www.marionscottgallery.com
MARION SCOTT GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Dec 1-Jan 6 Tony Anguhalluq, a 37-year-old Baker
Lake resident, has emerged as a significant Inuit artist. The adopted son of Luke Anguhadluq (18951982) and Marion Tuu’luq (1910-2002), Anguhalluq builds on traditions pioneered by his artist
parents, but his work differs significantly in its treatment of subject matter and perspective by
employing unique combinations of pictorial and orthographic views.
Following the success of his sold-out show at Marion Scott last spring, the new exhibition showcases
both pencil crayon drawings on paper and Anguhalluq’s idiosyncratic stone sculptural pieces. His images
feature contemporary Inuit people using modern fishing rods and nets, motorized boats, skidoos and rifles
as they live, work and hunt on the rocky terrain and
unforgiving waters of the far north. Bird’s eye views,
abstractly patterned land formations, skewed silhouettes and overlapping perspectives give his work a startling edge not often found in either western or Inuit art.
Solid masses of colour and distinctive contour lines
recall Japanese woodblock prints, while the top to bottom readings are reminiscent of scroll-like Persian
miniatures.
Anguhalluq has drawings in the collection of the Art
Gallery of Ontario (in the Sarick Inuit Art Collection)

James Carl: PULP
www.openspace.ca
OPEN SPACE, VICTORIA BC – Dec 8-15 and Jan 8-18 PULP is an exhibition of intriguing artworks
made from paper that has been cut, folded, printed, crushed or constructed into objects. The PULP
curatorial team of Megan Dickie, Ross Macaulay and Rebecca Michaels asked artists Kelly Jazvac
from Toronto, Michael Doerksen from Montreal and James Carl from Guelph to reinterpret paper in
a way that would emphasize its objecthood as a humble everyday material, and the results are ingenuous.
Emerging artist Kelly Jazvac uses paper to exaggerate social fascinations and foibles. Two sculptures
in this exhibit, entitled DeLorean and Part of the
Enterprise, are enlarged versions of paper patterns
she downloaded from www.papertoys.com From the
ultimate in rainy-day activities to her DeLorean
installation of 514 laminated, laser-printed sheets
laid out on the gallery floor, Jazvac transformed what
was intended to be a small, handheld construction
whimsy to a commentary on the car’s failure. Michael
Doerksen uses scaled and recoloured paper craft
models to invoke a theatrically sculptural context,
and James Carl will be showing a wood-grain wall- Kelly Jazvac, DeLorean, installation of printed and

Conservator’s Corner
BY CHERYLE HARRISON
CONSERV1@TELUS.NET
Conservator as an Art Historian
If we look at a cultural object with only a
contemporary eye and without inquisitiveness for its
historical references, there is a risk of sanitizing its
imagery and devaluing its historical context.
History is more that what is found in the pages of a
book and should have a significant presence in our
lives. An artwork offers more than a visual experience.
It can offer a connection to different philosophies and
provide interpretations of past events and cultural
values. Most importantly, an investigation of history
can link us to artists and other people of different Emily Carr, untitled still life (circa 1890-1893)
places and eras.
The analytical study of material properties and the use of solutions, magnifiers, and tiny swabs,
comprise only a portion of the array of tools available to the conservator. Whether specializing in
minute particles, paintings, or large buildings, the conservator's
investigation of an object can lead to a discovery of geographical and
cultural references. A knowledge of history enables one to view a
piece from the aesthetical standards of its time of origin and to
perhaps further understand the impetus underlying a certain style or
period of art. The treatment approach to conservation problems
extends well beyond a technophile's equipment, to the inherent
value of an object. The question asked is: "How does this artist, or
artwork, fit within the spectrum of history?"
These three images illustrate different phases of Emily Carr's
evolving approach to painting. The still life piece was painted
between 1890 and 1893 while she was studying art in San Francisco.
She described the traditional training offered at the school as
uninspiring. The second image, Totem Poles, Kitseukla, from 1912,
Emily Carr, Totem Poles, Kitseukla (1912) shows a more expressive use of vivid colour which reflects Carr’s
exposure to the Impressionist and Fauvist movements during the six
years she spent in England and France. A later work, Quiet, circa 1942, shows further development of
her painting techniques, use of colour, and adoption of simplified forms and rhythmic movement.
During this latter period, Emily Carr was inspired by the Group of Seven received encouragement
from Lawren Harris in her search to refine her interpretation of the spirit
and wild landscape of British Columbia.
By incorporating the value of history, and searching beyond an
individual work, we may discover the particular evolution of an artist's
creative endeavours. Close proximity to a painting offers the conservator a
unique vantage point for examination of an artist's approach to the process
of painting through deciphering how brushstrokes are laid and how the
composition emerged. The conservator, as art historian, endeavours to
combine such an intimate view of an artwork with a study of history to
achieve a skillful balance with the results of technological decisions made
under the scope of preservation.

Chapter 12. The Case of A. Y. Jackson’s Smart River (Alaska)
Some years ago, I was researching a serigraph a client had purchased for $5 at a 1946 fundraising event in the interior of B.C. The 19.50 x 26.25 inch serigraph (silkscreen or screen print)
was of A.Y. Jackson's oil on board painting, Smart River (Alaska). Jackson had contributed the
10.5 x 13.5 oil painting (based on his earlier pencil sketch) to the Federation of Canadian
Artists for a silkscreen series the Federation produced between late 1945 and 1948 with the
Toronto printing firm, Sampson-Matthews
Jackson's pencil sketches date back to the
war years when he travelled the Alaska Highway
on a second expedition sponsored by the
National Gallery of Canada, and facilitated by
the U.S. Army. Such expeditions were an
attempt by the Federal Government to offer
support to the United States for their war effort,
and for the U.S. Army's Alaska Highway
construction project..
My client's serigraph is listed on page 10 of a
1948 publication issued by the Department of
External Affairs entitled Federation of Canadian
Artists Series, Catalogue of Canadian Colour A.Y. Jackson, Smart River (Alaska), circa 1940-1945,
Reproductions. An image of the oil painting serigraph (silkscreen or screen print)
illustrated the magazine article, “Sketching the
Alaska Highway,” in the February/March 1944 edition of Canadian Art. And, an image of the
original sketch was reproduced on page 187 in Naomi Jackson Groves' study of Jackson's
sketches in A.Y.'s Canada.
Further research revealed that in May of 1990, a Canadian auction house listed a "tempera"
painting (20 x 26.50 inches) by A.Y. Jackson with the title Smart River, Alaska Highway 1940. The
listing stated that a "coloured serigraph (silkscreen print), also based on this subject, was
produced by Sampson-Matthews". This piece sold for $12,000 even though the pre-sale
estimate was set at $20,000-$25,000. As far as I know, tempera is not a common medium in the
serigraph process because of inherent problems with water solubility and pigment size relative
to screen mesh size. A recognizable characteristic of the process is the loss of fine detail as the
paint required to develop detail sometimes get trapped in the fine screen mesh and does not
pass through onto the paper. A knowledgeable collector of Canadian art suggested to me that
the ‘tempera’ painting was a ‘mock-up’ painted to serve as the template for production of the
silkscreen images, but this would be unusual given that images are drawn or transferred directly
onto the screen. The image printed in the auction catalogue appears to be exactly the same as
my client’s serigraph. Both have the identical characteristic loss of fine detail in exactly the same
locations.
On a further note, another serigraph of this Jackson work was sold at a 2004 Vancouver
auction for approximately $1,100.
When considering an art purchase, it is important to undertake a thorough investigation to
ensure that there are no discrepancies in the information presented by the auction house. There
is an obligation on the part of the seller to exercise due diligence, but the onus falls on the buyer
to seek satisfactory verification prior to making a purchase commitment.
Caveat emptor - let the buyer beware.

Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas: Meddling
at the Museum
www.moa.ubc.ca
MUSEUM OF ANTHROPOLOGY, VANCOUVER BC – through Dec 31 Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas, a
COLLECTION OF WESTERKIRK WORKS OF ART INC PHOTO: FRANK TANCREDI
First Nations-born artist, fuses Japanese pop art and Haida symbols in site installations at Vancouver’s Museum of Anthropology. Yahgulanaas,
who has become well-known for what he
describes as “haida manga” art, combines
found objects with his own brand of graphics. Like the trickster he emulates, he is halfplayful but very serious. After spending
much of the 1980s and 90s dedicated to public service and political activism in the Haida
Gwaii, Yahgulanaas is using his idiosyncratic
art to challenge the institutionalization of
Northwest Coast First Nations culture.
For Pedal to the Meddle he mounted Bill
Reid's 1985 canoe upside down on the roof
of a Pontiac Firefly, which he covered in a
mixture of black paint and argillite dust. The
installation questions the ways in which Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas, Pedal to the Meddle (2007), Pontiac Fireinstitutions construct iconic status, includ- fly, autobody paint, argillite dust, copper leaf; exhibited with 7.5 meter
ing that of Bill Reid himself. His manga-style cedar canoe by Bill Reid (assisted by Guujaaw, Simon Dick and others),
comic strip mural, painted on the backs of 1985 [Museum of Anthropology, Vancouver BC, through Dec 31]
twelve archeological storage trays, points out the irony of the collection and archiving of First
Nations culture that has taken place in the museum since its inception. Copper shields with manga
designs airbrushed onto car hoods greet visitors at the entrance.
Yahgulanaas was raised in the Haida Gwaii and studied art briefly in Vancouver in the 1970s
before returning to assist artist Robert Davidson on a totem-pole commission. He gradually developed his own unique blend of Haida painting that incorporates the mass-circulation and graphic
aspects of the immensely-popular Japanese manga. Mia Johnson

Japan Envisions the West: 16th-19th
Century Japanese Art
www.seattleartmuseum.org
from Kobe City Museum
SEATTLE ART MUSEUM, SEATTLE WA – Part I: Oct 11-Nov 25, Part II: Dec 1-Jan 6 Japan Envisions
the West is a rare exhibition of 142 unique and exotic pieces from Japan’s Kobe City Museum, many
of which have never been exhibited outside Japan. The show provides an eye-opening look at how
Western civilization influenced Japanese aesthetics during early interactions between the countries,
starting with the arrival of Spanish and Portuguese missionaries and traders in the 1540s.
Paintings, prints, maps, screens, textiles, lacquerware,
ceramics and metalwork are part of this major exhibit,
which includes the first map of Japan published in Europe,
entitled Depiction of the Island of Japan (1595) by
Portuguese illustrator Luis Teixeira. Part way through the
exhibit, all of the works on paper, including the prints and
maps, will change over.
Spanning three centuries, a period known as sakoku or
“closed country” (1639-1853) is highlighted. During this
time, Japan only allowed Dutch and Chinese traders to the
port of Nagasaki. European motifs were synthesized to
fruitfully enrich Japanese style in the decorative arts. Two
Ladies Looking through a Telescope, a woodblock print by
Katsushika Hokusai from the series “Fanciful Presentation
of Seven Useless Habits”, which depicts a young woman
looking through a telescope, a western invention,
symbolizes the Japanese desire for a larger world view.
When Japan signed its first treaty with the United States

DOUGLAS UDELL GALLERY, VANCOUVER Nov 22-Dec 1 The Park is an infamous series of black-and-

white photographs of couples having sex at night in Japanese parks while other people watch. Originally shot by Japanese photographer Kohei Yoshiyuki in Tokyo’s Shinjuku, Yoyogi and Aoyama parks
during the 1970s, the images blatantly depict the sexual exploits of their subjects, both homosexual
and heterosexual, and provoke questions about western attitudes towards surveillance and voyeurism.
The Tokyo-born artist originally used a
35mm camera, infrared film and flash to capture the strange scenes. They have been
described as “a brilliant piece of social documentation” and “an act of art, evidence, soft
core porn and social anthropology”. The predatory and animalistic appearance of the voyeurs
in most images is more striking than the sexual
acts. The graininess of the images recalls cinéma vérité and 50’s period pornography.
The pictures were first shown life-size in a
dark gallery in Tokyo in 1979. The artist provided flashlights for viewing the pictures to con- Kohei Yoshiyuki, [plate 31], from the series The Park, Untitled

Robert A. Nelson: The Undiscovered
Territory
www.beppugallery.com
BEPPU WIARDA GALLERY, PORTLAND OR – Nov 1-30
The provocative work of Robert A. Nelson is featured in
The Undiscovered Territory, a new exhibition of drawings
done in mixed-media and coloured pencil. This prolific
yet under-recognized American artist has been the subject
of over 150 solo exhibits during his lengthy career.
The fantastical imagery of his current exhibit is a
reflection of specific aspects from myths, fairy tales and
other curious histories. Nelson's detailed illustrative
style encourages a considerable degree of believability
despite the fact that his unmasked characters are
engaged in very surreal scenarios. From allegorical creatures like the Tin Woodman from the Land of Oz, who
appears in multiple pieces, to such legendary figures as
George A. Custer, Harry Houdini and Frankenstein, he
defines intricate imagined happenings that hint at deeper psychological states. These bizarre glimpses into dissonant narratives have the tone of medieval fables,
although they are tempered by Nelson's plausible renditions. As he states, "No art fancier should ever have to
completely give up the warmth of remembered child like Robert A. Nelson,The Tin Woodman Barters Double A
Quail Eggs for a Weeks Mail (2007), colored
visions." Images like the mouse pulling a thorn from a
pencil/mixed media [Beppu Wiarda Gallery, Portland
lion's paw resonate in our collective consciousness.
OR, Nov 1-30]

including the Smithsonian Institute, the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Seattle Art
Museum. In 1961, he was awarded the Cézanne Medal from the City of Provence by the government
of France. Allyn Cantor

Lost & Found: New Photo-Based Works by Heidi Kirkpatrick
CHAMBERS, PORTLAND, OR – Dec 6-Jan 19 The
photographic images of Portland artist Heidi Kirkpatrick are generally figurative. She uses the
female form to convey societal pressures toward
the objectification of women and the complexities
of the feminine allure. Her new photographic work
is object-based and increasingly in a mixed media
format.
Kirkpatrick is securing transparent photographs to such found objects as wooden toy
blocks and a set of mahjong tiles. The works tell
a fragmented narrative that she infuses with the
nostalgia and memory of the object's history. She
confines sections of the body to small surfaces in
order to create a playful tension between pictorial
two-dimensional spaces and tangible threedimensional materials. Similarly, her light box Heidi Kirkpatrick, Kneeling in Red (2007), photograph on
found object [Chambers, Portland OR, Dec 6-Jan 19]
pieces and other box works have a sense of containment that is heighten by her focus on certain
portions of the body, like hands and torsos. Kirkpatrick frames her subjects tightly against the
deep stark grounds of her black and white photos, which makes the anatomy more iconic and
less specific.
Other pieces use MRIs and X-rays of Kirkpatrick layered on the pages of vintage books to
express the distress and pain of personal physical traumas. In her “Lost Art” series, she set a transparent outstretched arm atop markings that include penmanship, shorthand and typewriter markings, which feel like tattoos on the surface of skin. Her cyanotypes of miniature Barbie Doll clothing
represent unrealistic notions about women fitting the mold of a perfect specimen. Allyn Cantor

Hug: Recent Work by Patricia Piccinini
FRYE ART MUSEUM, SEATTLE WA – Sep 22-Jan 6 Through sculpture, photography and video installation, Australian artist Patricia Piccinini creates troubling depictions of transgenic life. Her fleshy
and disquieting sculptures are remarkably realistic, strangely familiar and in turn disquieting.
Piccinini’s human and animal forms and their
potential for manipulation raise questions about
genetic mutations resulting from recent developments involving cloning, the human genome and
stem cell research. Representing ambivalent hybrids,
Piccinini’s sculptures – made from materials like silicone, acrylic resin, fur and human hair – are hyperrealistic and sometimes grotesque, with a likeness
that warrants both admiration and apprehension.
In an age of extraordinary biotechnical advancements, distinctions between natural and artificial life
become obscured. While some species are becoming
endangered, reproductive science commodifies other
life forms. Piccinini’s work brings moral concerns to
the forefront and reminds us of ethical issues that
must be addressed along with biological experimentation. Her message clearly points to the consequences of assuming control over life’s basic building
blocks. Not so far from the truth, her images of xenotransplantation and bioengineered creatures articu- Patricia Paccinini, Bodyguard (for the Golden Helmeted
