Matthew Pillsbury: Tokyo
DOUGLAS UDELL GALLERY POP-UP, VANCOUVER BC – Apr 4-25, 2015 According to recent data, the
urban continuum that is Tokyo-Yokohama remains the world’s most populous city. Now approaching 40 million people, it is larger than the entire population of Canada. For photographer Matthew
Pillsbury, the attraction to Tokyo
is not its population mass, but its
preoccupation with mass communication.
For years now, Pillsbury has
concerned himself with what he
describes as “the growing role
that technology is playing in our
lives and the sense of modern
seclusion that can seem at odds
with the constant connectivity
being offered by our smartphones and tablets.” What better
place to explore this condition
than in Tokyo, where each day
“millions of people file through
its streets and subways…yet it is
often done so silently, with each
person quietly interacting with Matthew Pillsbury, Daibutsu-Kotoku-in (2014), archival pigment ink print [Douglas
Udell Gallery Pop-Up, Vancouver BC, Apr 4-25]
their gadgets”?
Pillsbury, who travels the world taking photographs with long exposures and available light,
this time aims his camera at Buddhist temples, a largely computerized Tokyo Stock Exchange
trading floor, cubist shopping plazas and scaffolded urban parks. The result is a suite of pictures
that conveys the silent intensity of which he speaks. Michael Turner

LANGUAGE OF CRAFT Alberta Craft Council Gallery, Edmonton, Apr
4-Jul 4 This big and energetic group exhibition has been organized as part of Craft Year, a nationwide festival that promotes the
importance of craft in Canadian culture. From Tara Owen’s brass
and black agate neckpiece with its underlying references to “bodily intelligence,” to Noriko Masuda’s elegant ceramics that engage
with ideas of mass production, and Kaarina Talvila’s purses exquisitely executed in silk, plastic tubing and fusible fleece, the show
examines the many and complex meanings of “craft.”
MICHAEL BATTY & JEFFREY SPALDING: ALONG MODERNIST LINES
Douglas Udell Gallery, Edmonton, Apr 18-May 2 In his recent series
of process-based paintings, Jeffrey Spalding has created multiplelayered, vertically striped “colour thoughts” that also function as
a register of the national and international residencies in which
they’ve been made. Michael Batty’s new paintings employ different arrangements of similar compositional elements – long, slender strokes of colour on bare white grounds – to explore formal
and kinetic problems while also bringing ideas of order and
chaos, separation and connection into play.
THE DOUBLE BIND Art Gallery of Alberta, Edmonton, May 2-Sep 13
Subtitled “Conversations between Modernism and Postmodernism,” this show pairs works from the first movement with
works whose images, forms and ideas correspond with the second.
By mounting the art of Brian Jungen alongside that of Barbara
Hepworth, Arlene Stamp beside Kenneth Noland, and Jeffrey
Spalding with Jules Olitski (among others from the AGA’s collection), the show’s organizers invite us to think about correspondences, differences and the possibility that Postmodernism does not
simply critique Modernism, but “completes it.”
CATHY DALEY Newzones, Calgary, May 9-Jun 27 Twirling skirts,
high-heeled shoes, dancing legs and ribbons of swirly gesture
characterize Cathy Daley’s recent drawings. Below the surface of
these “giddy” and exuberant images, worked in black oil pastel on
white vellum, is a subtext asking us to consider how ideas of gender are constructed in Western society. Childhood memories of
Barbie dolls and ballerinas’ tutus, together with the influences of
contemporary fashion and advertising, contribute to the notions
of femininity explored by this Toronto-based artist.
ELIZABETH BARNES: ENDLESS MURMURING Herringer Kiss Gallery,
Calgary, May 9-30 The hard-edge paintings of Vancouver artist
Elizabeth Barnes point to abstraction’s recent energetic resurgence. In her exhibition statement, Barnes aligns her new work
with the art movements of the late 1960s, when minimal and optical painting moved “away from romantic notions of transcendence
and unattainable utopias, towards a…hovering connection with the
real world via the realm of human perception.” Barnes also challenges herself “to create a situation in which the viewer might
experience the work as embodied sound or vibration.”

Dana Lynn Louis: Thread
LAURA RUSSO GALLERY, PORTLAND OR – May 7-30, 2015 Dana Lynn Louis is an Oregon artist
known for her mixed-media installations that animate architectural spaces. Versed in a variety of
materials, she combines such things as direct drawing, suspended sculptures and glass elements, using
the way shapes react to qualities of light, shadow and reflection. Her work stems from the interconnectivity of living things and references the delicate organic qualities of natural systems – in the environment and in the human body. These intricate patterns of nature are reflected in Louis’s forms and
drawn lines. In some of her latest pieces, she has also incorporated photography, video projections and
sound, furthering the experiential quality of her artwork.
This exhibit includes interrelated two- and three-dimensional pieces. On images Louis took daily for
365 days (from the autumn equinox in 2013 to that of 2014), she then used digital drawing to explore
energy fields. Over the primarily natural scenes of her photo-based project, she interpreted distinct moments in
time, emphasizing whispery
lines that move like threads to
render the invisible energy of
the place.
Louis has several major
public art commissions and
notable works throughout
the Northwest. Most recent is
a word-based collaborative
project where text is embedded in the glass walls at Oregon State Hospital in Junction
City. The artist is also influenced by her yoga practice

How Do I Fit This Ghost In My Mouth?
An exhibition by Geoffrey Farmer
VANCOUVER ART GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – May 30-Sep
7, 2015 Geoffrey Farmer came to international attention
PHOTO: RACHEL TOPHAM, VANCOUVER ART GALLERY
in 2012 with his Leaves of Grass installation at dOCUMENTA (13). Although the title of that work was borrowed from a Walt Whitman poetry collection, the work’s
material content was made up of thousands of images the
artist and his team cut from Life magazines (1935–1985),
glued to grasses and applied to wooden supports.
Those hoping to see Leaves of Grass if they missed it
before will be disappointed (its custodian, the National
Gallery of Canada, has deemed it too fragile to travel).
However, those hoping to see how Farmer arrived at this
work will not be.
Billed as an “extensive mid-career survey,” the new
VAG exhibition includes Farmer’s earlier stick-and-paper
installations (The Last Two Million Years [2007] and The
Surgeon and the Photographer [2009–2013]); his architectural interventions, one of which has involved the removal
of the VAG’s well-trod-upon second-floor carpet; and his
more recent works, such as Let’s Make the Water Turn Geoffrey Farmer, The Surgeon and the Photographer
(2009-2013), paper, textile, wood, metal [Vancouver Art
Black (2013), in which the artist’s emergent interest in theGallery, Vancouver BC, May 30-Sep 7]
atrical lighting, kinetic objects and music has come to the
fore. As with many of Farmer’s exhibitions, what appears on opening night is liable to be repurposed
by the artist in the days that follow. Be prepared to come more than once. Michael Turner

BURNABY ART GALLERY, BURNABY BC – May 28-Jun 21, 2015 One of the more interesting occurrences in recent art is not the ongoing emergence of tomorrow’s wunderkind, but the discovery of
20th-century women artists who worked in relative obscurity. Last year’s discovery was Dorothy
Iannone, whose exhibition of psychosexual paintings at the Berlinische Galerie threatened to
upstage that city’s biennale. This year’s artist
could be Dalla Husband.
Born to British parents in Winnipeg in 1899,
Husband grew up on a ranch in the Okanagan,
made numerous trips through the Prairies and,
on two occasions, visited her grandmother in
England. Upon her grandmother’s death in 1924,
Husband received a substantial inheritance. With
that, she moved to Paris to study art, apprenticing under printmaker Joseph Hecht, before cofounding Atelier 17 with another printmaker,
Stanley William Hayter.
Husband’s prints, which reflect Europe’s
between-the-wars fascination with both the Surrealists and Les Automatistes, were included in
two Atelier-affiliated portfolios alongside the
work of Wassily Kandinsky, Joan Miró and Pablo
Picasso. Both portfolios were published in 1938,
with the proceeds going to children affected by
the Spanish Civil War. According to guest curator Eva Tweedie, Husband is “the most underresearched artist in these portfolios, as well as Dalla Husband, Abstract (2009), print on paper [Burnaby Art

Viljo Ratia founded Marimekko, a garment company whose bright,
bold fabrics and radically simple styles revolutionized fashion and
textile production around the world. Marimekko designers, especially Vuokko Nurmesniemi and Maija Isola, caught the mood of a
generation reborn following the devastation of the Second World

importance of the potlatch among Northwest Coast First
Nations people. Along with working masks, intended to be worn

by acclaimed Kwakwaka’wakw carver Beau Dick. His astounding depictions of supernatural beings convey the enduring power of his culture and beliefs.
COLIN SMITH: INSIDE OUT Winsor Gallery, Vancouver, Apr 1-May 2
The Alberta-based photographer Colin Smith uses the camera
obscura to transform a range of interiors – from hotel rooms to
abandoned fire lookouts to Airstream trailers – with projections
from the surrounding environment. Upside-down mountains,
marinas and condo towers become entangled with furniture,
maps, mugs and bathroom tiles, creating metaphors of both
memory and nostalgia. Formerly a documentary photographer,
Smith has embraced an immensely slow photographic process, in
defiance of the instantaneity of the digital.
ATTACHMENTS Circle Craft Gallery, Vancouver, Apr 2-May 4 Leading jewellery artists from across Canada were invited to create new
work for this exhibition of sculptural brooches, curated by Barbara
Cohen. The results are wearable miniature sculptures in imaginative styles, techniques and materials. Themes and strategies
include space and refuge, recycling and the natural world and the
incorporation of found objects. “The brooches become dramatic
extensions of the body,” Cohen says, “and offer both the artist and
the wearer an opportunity for self-expression.”
HENRI ROBIDEAU: ERASER STREET grunt gallery, Vancouver, Apr 9May 16 One of the most distinctive voices in contemporary Canadian photography, Henri Robideau established his reputation
using panoramic image collages narrated with quirkily handwritten text. This show features his newest and oldest photographs of
Vancouver – moments, milestones and monuments across four
decades of urban development. Whether through hand-processed
silver gelatin prints or digitized inkjet prints, Robideau brings
both humour and seriousness to this reflection on the shifting
nature of his chosen city.

of the Jewish Hospital in the Wedding area of Berlin. Astoundingly, the building survived the Second World War and the

with archival recordings of Hilde Kahan, the hospital’s secretary
during the war. Abstraction serves to reframe the ways we understand time and place.

practice – part conceptual constraint, part spontaneous gesture.
Born in Toronto and based in New York, Dault employs unlikely
tools such as squeegees, rubber combs and sea sponges in making
her paintings, and wrestles industrial sheets of Formica and Plexiglas into shapely sculptures. Although her process-oriented work
has performance elements, she works alone, choosing to maintain
an element of mystery.
FLORENCE ROBERGE: CHANTICLEER Studio 13 Fine Art, Vancouver, May 14-18 When Geoffrey Chaucer told the story of Chanticleer and the Fox (“The Nun’s Priest’s Tale”) in The Canterbury
Tales, he probably did not imagine that seven centuries later, on
the other side of the world, a visual artist would respond by producing extravagantly oversized paintings of roosters. Yet Salt
Spring Islander Florence Roberge has taken Chaucer’s fabled
bird – and the sight of beautiful feral roosters on the island of
Kauai – as inspiration for her big, bold images.
PORT MANN: JANE EVERETT The Reach Gallery, Abbotsford, May 21Aug 2 At a time when debates rage over traffic congestion, public
transit costs and bridge tolls in the Lower Mainland, The Reach
Gallery presents Jane Everett’s Port Mann series of large-scale
paintings. They document the construction of the new cablestayed Port Mann Bridge across the Fraser River, contrasting its
forms with those of the old steelarch structure still in use during
that period. Everett’s style tempers representation with abstraction,
revealing unexpected beauty in this massive engineering project.

Practical Art History or
Confessions of a Fine Art Appraiser
BY JIM FINLAY
FINLAY FINE ART
FinlayFineArt.com
Chapter 46. The Case of the Archangel Michael Defeating Satan
My client indicated that the two holes in the upper left
of the painting had been the result of bullets fired by
invading military forces during the Second World War.
Given that St. Michael is the patron saint of police officers, paramedics, firefighters and the military, it would
seem that the perpetrators of this damage either were
not aware of that connection or had other, perhaps atheistic, motives.
The painting is a framed oil-on-canvas copy after
Guido Reni (1575–1642), and is dated and signed in
Serbian Cyrillic in the lower right, “D. Mauric(h)
Belgrade 1926.” Known as The Archangel Michael
Defeating Satan, the image is approximately 34 by 48
inches.
The original is in a private collection, and another
copy is in the church of Santa Maria della Concezione
Rome, Italy. The painting is a metaphoric representation
of the rivalry between two important papal families, the
Barberini and the Pamphilij families. It was commissioned by Cardinal Antonio Barberini (brother of the
ruling Pope Urban VIII) and depicts the Archangel
D. Mauric(h), The Archangel Michael Defeating Satan
Michael trampling Satan, whose features are recognizable as those belonging to members of the Pamphilij family. In retaliation, when Giovanni Battista Pamphilij became Pope Innocent X, he sought revenge by
charging the Barberini family with corruption and confiscating its property. Cardinals Francesco and
Antonio Barberini and Gonfalonier Taddeo Barberini escaped to France and asked for the protection of
Cardinal Mazarin. He threatened to send troops to attack the Papal States if the Cardinals were not
allowed to return to Rome.
The artist, D. Mauric(h), was thought to be a Croat from Zagreb, the present-day capital of the
Republic of Croatia. Prior to the Second World War, he was well known for his illustrations, cartoons and frescoes. He was very skilled at making copies of paintings of Serbian saints on demand,
and at producing commissioned pieces. His works were at the National Museum in Belgrade, in what
is now Serbia.
Is this painting about the triumph of the Catholic Church over the forces of darkness? Is it meant to
be a devotional piece designed to solicit veneration on the part of the faithful? Was it the intent of the
artist to surreptitiously reference nationalism and national identity in the service of nation building? St.
Michael is easily recognizable as the heroic victor, but the Devil is depicted as a muscular but otherwise
ordinary-looking middle-aged man – in short, without the attributes usually associated with his demonic
status. Was this a visual reference to a perceived nationalistic evil, cloaked in religious dogma?
I am tempted to make connections between the bitter rivalry between the Barberini and Pamphilij
families, as mentioned, and the long-standing political, economic and nationalistic tensions between
the Serbs and the Croats, two ethnic groups that coexisted in the former Yugoslavia.
It would appear that paintings take on lives of their own as visual archives documenting ideological
narratives open to temporal interpretations. Such is the stuff of art history.

Jeremy Shaw: Medium-Based Time
COURTESY JOHANN KÖNIG, BERLIN, AND MACAULAY & CO. FINE ART, VANCOUVER
CONTEMPORARY ART GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Feb 27-Apr 19, 2015 For the past seven years,
the Vancouver-born Jeremy Shaw has resided in Berlin,
where he continues to make work that, according to the
CAG, “amplifies conceptual strategies within the transcendence-seeking experiences of popular culture, as well
as the scientific mapping of these phenomena.” While this
is an acceptable description of the work Shaw made prior
to leaving Vancouver, most notable now is the expanded
range of references he has drawn upon to exude the depth
his content suggests.
In his 16-mm film Variation FQ (2011–2013), Shaw
worked with legendary vogue dancer Leiomy Maldonado, who emerged from the largely Black and Latino drag
ball subculture of the 1980s. But rather than merely show
Maldonado dancing against a black void, “teetering
between elegance and violence,” Shaw effectively joins in
on her performance through step-and-repeat visual
effects introduced by Canadian filmmaker Norman
McLaren in his animated ballet film Pas de deux (1968).
Also on display are Quickeners (2014), an HD video
installation that repurposes an ethnographic film on
snake handlers into a “dystopian science fiction narraJeremy Shaw, Variation FQ (2011-2013), 16-mm film still tive,” and, in the shop windows facing Nelson Street, a
[Contemporary Art Gallery, Vancouver BC, Feb 27-Apr 19] collection of light-activated UV prints. Michael Turner
of Death: The Photographs of Allen
Ginsberg (1953-1996), photographs

Leslie Hossack: Registered
NIKKEI NATIONAL MUSEUM & CULTURAL CENTRE, BURNABY BC – Apr 11-Jun 7, 2015 The title of this
exhibition refers to a Canadian government directive that had 22,000 Japanese-Canadian adults reporting to the RCMP for interrogation – not after Imperial Japan’s December 7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbor, as is widely believed, but before that. The result of these interrogations, apart from humiliation, was
the issuing of registration
cards, some of which form a
discrete installation in the
Registered exhibition.
Another of the installations is devoted to a selection
of clippings from Vancouver
newspapers in the 1940s,
where yet further instances of
humiliation are “registered”
– this time in the form of editorial opinion, but most cruelly in “objective fact.” The
t h i r d p a r t o f t h e exhibit
comprises Leslie Hossack’s
interpretive colour photographs of relevant British Leslie Hossack, Large Barn, Site of Tashme Internment Camp, Sunshine Valley, British Columbia
Columbia buildings.

Ron Shuebrook: Drawings
KELOWNA ART GALLERY, KELOWNA BC – Mar 7-Apr 26, 2015 This six-venue touring exhibition,
organized by the Thames Art Gallery of Chatham, Ontario, features abstract charcoal drawings by the
Toronto-based senior artist Ron Shuebrook. In addition to the 23 framed works assembled for the
touring exhibition, the artist has included seven large-scale, unframed works made especially for the
Kelowna Art Gallery.
Now 71, Shuebrook is among the few remaining artists whose practices are rooted in the questions, answers and anxieties that attended mid-20th-century modern art. Thus, it should come as no
surprise to find in Shuebrook’s
current production evocations
of period Modernists such as
Franz Kline, Philip Guston and
Robert Motherwell.
Rather than reinscribe the
characteristics of this era,
Shuebrook, who has taught at
some of Canada’s leading art
institutions, prefers to converse
with them – as one might
expect from a dedicated educator whose interests extend to
expressions of reference and
allusion and their critique.

DaveandJenn: No End
ART GALLERY OF ALBERTA, EDMONTON
AB – Mar 21-Jun 7, 2015 David John Foy
IMAGE COURTESY OF TRÉPANIERBAER GALLERY
and Jennifer Saleik are best known to art
audiences as DaveandJenn, a name they
adopted in 2004 as students at the Alberta
College of Art + Design. Their joint
practice is based in painting, sculpture and
installation, with a superstructural interest
in what they describe as “a long view of
both human and natural histories, together
with the more closed-off realms of private
spectacles and inner landscapes.”
For their first solo exhibition at the
AGA, the artists continue what curator
Kristy Trinier refers to as their “neverending, always developing mythological
tableaux vivant of two figurative sculp- DaveandJenn, My Mother, Euphoria (2013), digital photograph [Art Gallery
tures [Euphoria and The Archer] in dia- of Alberta, Edmonton AB, Mar 21-Jun 7]
logue with a salon-style constellation of paintings.”
Those new to the work of DaveandJenn can expect a world as expressive and narratively complex as those of mid-career Canadians David Altmejd, Valérie Blass, Shary Boyle and Geoffrey
Farmer. However, what distinguishes DaveandJenn from their contemporaries is their uncanny
layering of paint and clear resin – a material innovation that parallels the metaphorical weave that
is central to their work. Michael Turner

Fred Schiffer: Lives in Photos
THE JEWISH MUSEUM AND ARCHIVES OF BC AT MAKE GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Apr 16-May 31, 2015
PHOTO BY FRED SCHIFFER, ©JMABC
From the time he arrived in Vancouver in 1958
until his death in 1999, Fred Schiffer was at the
cutting edge of portrait photography in Vancouver. During a period of rapid change, he took pictures of many of the city’s leading lights, including
architect Arthur Erickson, artist B. C. Binning,
actor and author Chief Dan George, Judge
Nathan Nemetz, columnist Jack Wasserman and
broadcast journalist Jack Webster. He also photographed visiting celebrities and dignitaries,
from jazz musicians to British royalty. Although
Schiffer worked from his famed Seymour Street
studio, he shot many of his most memorable and
revealing portraits outside of it – in the homes,
gardens and work environments of his subjects.
Schiffer’s story is both harrowing and inspiring. Born in Vienna, he trained there as a lawyer,
but was forced to flee his home country to seek
refuge in England from Nazism. After the war, he
and his wife and children emigrated to Argentina,
then, in 1958, moved to Vancouver, seeking a more
stable political climate. Throughout this time,

Lyndia Terre: I went into the large space
GAGE GALLERY, VICTORIA BC – May 12-30, 2015 Lyndia Terre is a photographer, printmaker, poet
and painter, originally from Montreal and currently living in Victoria. In this show, she exhibits a
series of photographs, drawings and poems, and debuts an art book made up of the same material.
Created during Terre’s 2014 artist residency at the Horticulture Centre of the Pacific (the first such
residency for the HCP),
the series includes colour
photographs and a corresponding selection of
delicate line drawings in
graphite.
The collection emphasizes all the small
and delightful details to
be discovered within a
large gardenscape: the
curve of a garden stone,
the intricacy of a rose,
and the tendrils curling
Lyndia Terre, Dark pink waterlily (2014), graphite on paper and colour photograph [Gage Gallery,
atop a cattail are beauVictoria BC, May 12-30]
tifully illustrated. The
drawings in particular are contemplative and surprising, echoing the best experiences one can have
while exploring a garden.
The natural world, whether found in the wild or in the garden, is a great passion for Terre, and this
exhibition and book are the latest of several similar projects for her. As Robin Laurence, a well-known
arts writer, says in an essay for the book, Terre has been “exploring, responding to and reflecting upon
aspects of the natural world” for several years, and making “extensive visits to dedicated conservation
areas in Canada and the United States.” Christine Clark

Conservator’s Corner
BY CHERYLE HARRISON

Coming Apart at the Seams: A Polychrome Crucifix Project
Carved wood, gesso, paint and sometimes gold leaf and other
metals have long been used to transform sculptures into embellished polychrome objects. Early Greek stone figures had
brightly painted hair and clothing, with the carved stone skin
left unpainted. In medieval times, polychrome included decorated statues, altarpieces and interiors of churches painted with
colourful patterns and designs. Polychrome on carved wood
was widely used for sculpture in Europe and South America.
Polychrome is more than a decorative style, whether it’s
used on an object or figure and whether its materials include
precious or exotic pigments such as lapis lazuli or carmine red
made from insects: it always tells a story. These stories illustrate times of religious and social history, economic development and regional influences, specialized materials and techniques and changing artistic styles and designs.
Many things may damage an artwork – water or fire exposure, poor storage conditions or the aging of materials. After an
accidental fall, the damage to this approximately 350-year-old,
nearly metre-and-a-half-tall polychrome sculpture included
Polychrome crucifix, showing pre-treatment breakage. the partially crushed nose, bent thorns on the metal crown and
partly separated shoulder and leg joints that wobbled when
touched. Layers of thick dust, soot, ingrained dirt and accretions also covered this polychrome crucifix’s surface. As well, investigation of the figure’s joints revealed pre-existing, non-active worm damage that had
resulted in numerous wormholes, structurally weakened areas and, from prior repairs, remains of old adhesive.
The figure’s arms were detached to receive treatment.
Injections of adhesive were used to strengthen, re-join and
secure the arms and legs to the torso.
The fractured nose had wormhole damage, signs of wear,
small broken pieces and detaching gesso and paint layers.
These areas were treated and carefully repositioned, and some
losses were minimally inpainted, achieving partial reconstruction of the nose. The crown’s few bent metal thorns proved to
be stable, although too delicate to be bent back to their original positions, and were left alone.
The crucifix was then cleaned with soft brushes to remove
loose dirt and dust. A customized cleaning solution was fabricated for controlled removal of grime and soot from the sculpture’s soiled surfaces. Accretions were softened with a gel and,
under magnification, eased from the surface with a scalpel. As
a buffer for future environmental conditions, several layers of a
beeswax paste were applied, warmed with a controlled-air tool
and hand buffed.
Regular maintenance, monitoring and conservation care
of our antiquities and family treasures will contribute to the
preservation of our memories and history.
With the repairs completed, the crucifix has a new
lease on life.

Stefan Sagmeister: The Happy Show
MUSEUM OF VANCOUVER, VANCOUVER BC – Apr 23-Sep 7, 2015 Hot on the heels of the Vancouver
Art Gallery’s Douglas Coupland: everywhere is anywhere is anything is everything comes another exhibition that, among other things, raises questions about the variegation of Art and Design. However,
unlike the Coupland exhibition, Stefan Sagmeister’s The Happy Show seeks neither the approval of an
informed art audience nor the
knowing nod of those who
believe that design is a means
of persuasion.
Now in the tenth year of
his pursuit of happiness,
Sagmeister, who was born in
Austria and is based in New
York City, has filled the MOV’s
galleries, nooks and crannies
with interactive installations,
information graphics, sculpture and video – all of which
offer his “thoughts and recommendations” about one of
humankind’s most desirous, Stefan Sagmeister, The Happy Show (2015), installation [Museum of Vancouver, Vancouver BC,
Apr 23-Sep 7]
and elusive, sensations.
Also on tap is the première of Sagmeister’s The Happy Film (2015), a documentary that “depicts his
experiments with meditation, cognitive therapy and mood-altering pharmaceuticals.” If you want a
sense of how truly playful this guy is, Sagmeister has let it be known that the première of his film only
contains “the first 14 minutes.” (Contrast this to Warhol’s “15 minutes.”) Michael Turner

Geoffrey James: Inside Kingston Penitentiary
GLENBOW, CALGARY AB – Feb 14-May 17, 2015 Until its closure in 2013, Kingston Penitentiary
was home to some of Canada’s most notorious convicts. Yet, after 178 years on the shores of Lake
Ontario, the prison’s visual record was vastly under-represented given its place in the national
imagination.
When photographer Geoffrey James was asked by the Calgary Herald what attracted him to the
prison as a subject, he replied,
“Its age and essential mysteriousness. The prison system is
not that transparent. They don’t
let people in.”
The result of James’s sixmonth study is a range of startling colour and black-andwhite pictures that detail KP’s
last days. On display are numerous instances of the architecture
of incarceration, with its endless
fencing and panopticonic views,
but also of those “doing time”
within its cells, common rooms,
kitchens and prison yards.

In addition to James’s prison

ALLYN CANTOR
MYRA ALBERT WIGGINS: A PHOTOGRAPHER’S LIFE Hallie Ford Museum
of Art, Salem, Feb14-Apr 26 Myra Albert Wiggins (1869–1956) was an
internationally recognized photographer and a founding member of
Alfred Stieglitz’s Photo-Secessionists – the group that promoted photography as a fine-art medium when it hadn’t even been acknowledged
as a legitimate form of art. Born and raised in Salem, Wiggins studied at
the Art Students League of New York. She pioneered the Dutch genre
style of pictorial photography, with scenes defined by soft lighting and
sensitive compositions that evoked 17th-century Dutch life.
NANCY LORENZ: POLISHED GROUND PDX Contemporary Art, Portland,
Mar 31-May 2 Based in New York, Nancy Lorenz is a contemporary
abstract painter who uses untraditional materials drawn from the aesthetics of Asian art, such as lacquer and gold leaf. Her sensual works
blur the lines between fine art and decorative art. In this new series,
Lorenz divides the principles of painting into raw and luxurious materials. Her canvasses become rough jute surfaces on which she forms
painterly swaths and Modernist gestures in highly polished gilded
relief – the result, a tactile dichotomy that draws attention to both the
act of painting and the framework of tradition.
DEAN HANSON: POETIC MUSE – THE FEMININE FORM Michael Parsons
Fine Art, Portland, May 6-31 After nearly 30 years as a chemist, Dean
Hanson went to Paris in 1999 to study and develop his interest in
photography. Now 71, he works exclusively in black-and-white silver
gelatin prints, and his primary interest is in people, the human form
and subjects from his world travels. This exhibit focuses solely on
classic female nudes. Hanson’s portrayals are elegantly captured with
soft impressions that evoke the inner life of his models. Hanson
divides his creative time equally between Corvallis and Paris.
COLLEEN PLUMB: ANIMALS ARE OUTSIDE TODAY AND THIRTY TIMES A
MINUTE Blue Sky Gallery, Portland, Apr 1-May 3 Colleen Plumb
focuses on the complex relationship between humans and animals in a
photographic series, Animals Are Outside Today, and a video piece,
Thirty Times a Minute. In her colour images, Plumb looks at the interdependent life of animals as understood through the human desire for
ownership, entertainment and consumption rather than for coexistence. The eight-minute video portrays elephants in zoos “weaving,”
a behaviour of those in captivity that causes debilitating injuries to the
animals’ feet and joints.
APEX: BETTY LADUKE Portland Art Museum, Mar 28-Jul 19 Betty
LaDuke is a Southern Oregon artist who studied in Mexico in the
1950s, where she met influential muralists Rufino Tamayo and Diego
Rivera. Their representations of working people have continued to
inform LaDuke’s content, evident in a recent series celebrating Oregon’s agricultural workers. Her brightly coloured panels joyfully
reflect the countryside, orchards and fields. Pieces from her 65-year
retrospective (held in 2013 at the Schneider Museum of Art in Ashland) are part of this exhibition, along with her newest paintings.

Tom Sherwood: A Golden Perspective
COLLECTION OF LESLIE STRONG
WHATCOM MUSEUM, BELLINGHAM WA – Mar 7-Jun 14 Artist Tom Sherwood has been a Bellingham
resident since he first took a teaching position at Fairhaven College (Western Washington University) in
1970. Though his formal education is in theological studies, he has taught art throughout the United
States and in China.
Sherwood creates dramatic renderings of figurative subjects and
natural forms, working in a Renaissance-like style that highlights the
beauty and anatomy of the human
form. His most accomplished pieces
are made with egg tempera and gold
leaf on wood panel, and each can
take several years to complete. Nine
of these masterful paintings are included in this comprehensive exhibit, along
with a prominent selection of drawings, woodcuts and Sherwood’s 1985
award-winning bronze sculpture, The
Assistants.

An impeccable draftsman, SherPortrait of Michael Strong (1993), egg tempera and gold leaf on panel [Whatcom
wood gives attention to perspective
Museum, Bellingham WA, Mar 7-Jun 14]
while realizing his subjects with great
emotional detail. Many of the pencil studies on exhibit reveal both his initial ideas and the process that leads
to the finished masterworks.
Although managing to evade commercial success and regular exhibitions of his artwork, Sherwood has
had a large influence on several prominent regional artists, many of whom helped spearhead the idea for
this exhibition. The retrospective concentrates on the facet of Sherwood’s oeuvre, which began in 1992,
when he was able to focus full-time on artistic production. His lifelong interests in philosophy, theology,
art history, literature and mythology all come into play in his mature paintings. Allyn Cantor
work addresses ideas and issues of
exchange, borders, authorship, travel
and collaboration.

CONTEMPORARY JAPANESE PRINTMAKERS Davidson Galleries, Seattle,
Mar 17-May 2 This exhibition offers a window into the diverse world
of contemporary Japanese printmaking and features over 25 artists.
While the tradition of woodblock prints in Japan dates back more
than a millennium, other forms of printmaking media didn't expand
until after WWII. The work of the artists here (who range in age
from 23 to 91 years) represents varied aesthetics and techniques
while maintaining the characteristic elements of Japanese design,
balance and precision.
ANELECIA HANNAH: KEEPING TIME WaterWorks Gallery, Friday Harbor,
May 9-25 Born and raised in Washington State, Anelecia Hannah is
an emerging contemporary Realist, whose subjects include still life,
figurative and metaphoric depictions. In this exhibit, she uses ordinary objects and everyday scenes to log memory and reflect on the
passage of time. Hannah most often works from life and spends a
great deal of time observing the nuances of her subjects. The quietude and stillness she captures in these paintings draw the viewer to
personal contemplation.
MARKO KRATOHVIL Christian Grevstad, Seattle, Mar-May Marko Kratohvil is an internationally recognized contemporary sculptor who
recently relocated to Seattle. Worked in welded steel, his immaculate
forms convey pure gesture and lend expression to space with a spare
lightness. Through movement and rhythm, passive and active energy, Kratohvil’s refined forms strive to articulate fields of experience
that remain before or after verbalization. Born in Belgrade, Kratohvil
holds an MA in sculpture. He lived and worked in London before
emigrating to the US.
BEN DARBY: AUSPICIOUS Foster/White Gallery, Seattle, May 7-30 Ben
Darby, a San Diego artist, uses playful references and intellectual
metaphors in his fantastical paintings that combine layers of paint
with sculptural acrylic relief he creates from handcrafted moulds.
Darby’s works are realized in detail, as he brings together toy-like
characters and animal and botanical forms to create visual stories that
blend humour and satire. His compositions are delightful in their
whimsical appeal and show a heightened imagination used as tool to
address reality.

RYAN SARAH MURPHY: SITE LINES Platform Gallery, Seattle, Apr 2-May 2
Through abstract sculptural collages, Ryan Sarah Murphy, based in
New York, focuses on the intersection of natural and urban forms.
She uses the overlooked and throw-away materials of daily life, like
cardboard and discarded book covers, to create topographical collages that express both dilapidation and formation through the structuring of impermanent media. Her arrangements recall architectural
infrastructure as much as geographical landscape. Included in this
show are wall-mounted constructions and a series of work on paper
titled “Blueprints.”

Sam Vernon: How Ghosts Sleep (Seattle)
SAM OLYMPIC SCULPTURE PARK, SEATTLE WA – Mar 28, 2015-Mar 6, 2016 Sam Vernon is an interdisciplinary artist from the East Coast who studied at the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in New York, graduating in 2009 with the Excellence in Drawing Award. This year-long
installation at Olympic Sculpture Park takes place in the PACCAR Pavilion, where Vernon transforms
the interior space with her evocative black-and-white imagery. The Seattle Art Museum commissioned this piece, which was initially inspired by the artist’s visit to both its collection of African masks
and the Asian Art Museum’s Art
Deco architecture.
Her monochromatic imagery is
characterized by dense line work
and tactile mark making that has
been brought to maximum contrast
with pure, empty white and deep,
rich black tones. Vernon’s drawingbased installations employ a printmaker’s method of multiplicity, as
she reworks and reimagines her
images in several runs, often using
Xerox prints as a tool for heightened
contrast and eventual distortion.
Digitally combining elements of
Sam Vernon, How Ghosts Sleep (Seattle): Hive (2014), digital collage, wallpaper [Seattle drawing, printing and collage, VerArt Museum’s Olympic Sculpture Park, Seattle WA, Mar 28, 2015-Mar 6, 2016)
non sets her expressive imagery into
the framing device of a large hexagonal grid pattern that covers the interior of the pavilion, while fabric canopies drape overhead. This immersive wall-scape of stark, emotive textures and haunting
graphics creates an otherworldly rhythm of ghost-like characters concealed and revealed, pointing to
the sublime while recalling history and memory.
Vernon is also designing the entryway at the Seattle Art Museum’s downtown location as a prelude
to the exhibit Disguise: Masks and Global African Art, which opens in mid-June. Allyn Cantor

THE DIKER COLLECTION was published for this nationally travelling exhibition that
reflects the diversity of Native cultures, and which is on view first at the Seattle Art
Museum (now through May 17). This fully illustrated catalogue presents new research
on extraordinary objects and artworks from across North America. Includes an essay
by curator David Penney and contributions by leading writers in the field, among them
Janet Berlo, Bruce Bernstein, Barbara Brotherton, Joe Horse Capture and Susan
Secakuku.

CÉZANNE AND THE MODERN: MASTERPIECES OF EUROPEAN ART FROM THE
PEARLMAN COLLECTION is the companion publication to the Princeton University
Art Museum exhibition, on at the Vancouver Art Gallery (Feb 14-May 18). This weighty
catalogue is richly illustrated, handsomely designed and fascinating to read, with
essays by 18 distinguished curators and art historians. It also includes reminiscences
by Henry Pearlman, who put together the stellar collection of late 19th- and early 20thcentury paintings, drawings, watercolours and sculptures.
Softcover, 304 pages, $49.95 CAD. Available through the Vancouver Art Gallery Store,
604-662-4706.
A DISCERNING EYE: THE WALTER C. KOERNER COLLECTION OF EUROPEAN
CERAMICS testifies to a fascinating collection assembled by a remarkable and generous individual. Written by curator and anthropologist Carole E. Mayer, the book provides insights into some 200 functional and decorative ceramic pieces of the Koerner
collection, on permanent display at the UBC Museum of Anthropology. From extravagantly decorated Italian Renaissance majolica and the chinoiserie of Holíč porcelain
from Slovakia to humble stove tiles from Austria and Germany, the collection and its
catalogue are a revelation.
Hardcover, 172 pages, $45 CAD. Available at the UBC Museum of Anthropology shop,
604-822-5087.
GORDON SMITH: DON’T LOOK BACK accompanied a recent Equinox Gallery exhibition of new paintings by one of Canada’s leading Modernists. Nearing his 96th birthday, Smith works every day in his West Vancouver studio, producing paintings, prints,
collages and assemblages. Many of them draw inspiration from the West Coast landscape, ranging between representation and abstraction. Generously illustrated, the
book also features essays and interviews by Ian Thom, Roald Nasgaard, Daina Augaitis
and Ian Wallace, along with remembrances by Smith himself.
Hardcover, 237 pages, $39.95 CAD. From Black Dog Publishing and widely available
through Canadian bookstores; also available through the Equinox Gallery, 604-736-2405.
TOM SHERWOOD: A GOLDEN PERSPECTIVE was published for the current exhibit
at Whatcom Museum. This influential Bellingham artist interprets figurative and natural
subjects in dramatic paintings that recall Renaissance-era craftsmanship. Sherwood’s
paintings have an undertone of spirituality, with cyclical themes of life and death. The
monograph includes full-page colour images of his paintings, drawings and woodblock
prints. An essay by John Handley on Sherwood’s life and artistic practice follows a foreword by Whatcom director Patricia Leach and an introduction by Richard Gardner.
Softcover, 48 pages, $14 USD, Available at Whatcom Museum Store, 360-778-8975 or
email museuminfo@cob.org.
Prices may be subject to additional charges for postage, handling and taxes.

The Clock: Christian Marclay
ART GALLERY OF ALBERTA, EDMONTON AB – Feb 13-Apr 12, 2015 Christian Marclay’s The Clock
(2010) was an instant sensation upon its debut at London’s White Cube in 2010. Five years on, it
remains among the world’s most talked about works of art. Critics have described it as “mesmerizing,” “addictive” and “sublime.” The Guardian called it “a masterpiece of our times.”
Like Ai Weiwei’s Sunflower Seeds (2010), where the artist commissioned a village in China to
sculpt and paint millions of
porcelain seed casings for
display inside the Tate’s
Turbine Hall, and Marina
Abramovi ć ’s The Artist Is
Present (2010) audience
stare-down at MOMA,
The Clock is a simple idea
that required a massive
amount of patience and
assembly. In this instance,
Marclay spent three years
montaging film and television clips that contain
Christian Marclay, The Clock (2010), still from 24-hour video montage [Art Gallery of Alberta,
minute-by-minute referEdmonton AB, Feb 13-Apr 12]
ences to time. The result is
a clock that corresponds to the time of day in which the work is shown.
In recognition of his achievement, the 2011 Venice Biennale awarded Marclay its Golden Lion
Award for Best Artist. As part of his acceptance speech, Marclay thanked the jury “for giving The
Clock its fifteen minutes” – and so brought to mind that other artist who took simple ideas and
both multiplied and serialized them. Michael Turner
