SOBEY WINNERINVITED TODOCUMENTAThis is a banner year for Inuit artistAnnie Pootoogook, whose stylizednaïve depictions of the co-existenceof modern convenience and traditionin northern Canada have attractedunprecedented attention. Winner ofthe $50,000 Sobey Art Award in2006, Pootoogook had a solo showlast summer at Toronto’s Power Plant,and shared billing with other Sobeyfinalists at the Montreal Museum ofFine Arts in late 2006. While on theshortlist for the Sobey, she learnedshe had been invited to the Docu-

menta show in Kassel, Germany. Oneof the most prestigious showcases forcontemporary art in the world, Docu-menta is only produced once everyfive years. The first Inuit artist to beinvited to the exhibition, Pootoogookhas been working through the WestBaffin Eskimo Cooperative in CapeDorset, Nunavut. She is descendedfrom a fine line of graphic artists, including her grandmother PitseolakAshoona, and her mother NapachiePootoogook.

MENDELREOPENS WITHRENEWED VISIONAfter a fire that broke out on itsloading dock September 18, and twomonths closed to the public, Saska-toon’s’ Mendel Gallery reopenedNovember 17 with exhibitions byUruguayan artist Ignacio Iturria, andSaskatoon-based installation artistSusan Shantz. Though no damagewas done to the Gallery’s collection,artwork had to be moved to tempo-

rary storage during the closing forcleaning the effects of smoke andwater damage. As the Gallery readiedfor its gala re-opening, director TerryGraf told the CBC that the twomonths of repair and restorationwork gave him time to review theGallery’s vision and direction. He saidhis renewed plans include increasingacquisitions of work by emergingartists, and expanding the Gallery’sfocus from provincial to national andinternational work.

EDMONTONARTIST RENDERSSHELL SITEWhen one of Shell Chemicals’ mainworksites was getting set to go into“turnaround”—a six-week mainte-nance phase for clean-up and repair,managers decided to try somethingdifferent. They hired Edmonton fineart photographer Ted Kerr to become

artist-in-residence at the company’sScotford site northeast of Edmonton,documenting the work and theworkers in new ways.

Creating a blog about the pro-ject at the same time, Kerr produceda series of photographs of the innerworkings of an industrial site that arerarely seen. In October, the workwent on display for plant employeesand the local community. “I wasmoved by the generosity and willing-ness of all the skilled workers andcraftsmen who shared their time andtheir job with me,” Kerr writes of the

W. VANCOUVERCHOOSESSQUAMISHARTISTThe Squamish sculptor Xwa-lack-tun(Rick Harry) will create a public sculp-ture for West Vancouver’s AmblesidePark that incorporates traditionalsymbols. Cut from steel plate, thedesign features two upright paddles,a thunderbird head (symbol of theSquamish nation), and a great canoe,all set within a representation of theLions Gate Bridge.

exhibition around the figure offounder and collector NormanMacKenzie. A selection of MacKen-zie’s most prized antiquities, and thestories around their acquisition, makeup the core of the show Raiders ofthe Lost Vault, on through February2. Adding to the intrigue, the exhibi-tion has a secondary focus on thecharacter of James Banks, an adven-turer and archeologist (possibly theinspiration for Indiana Jones), whosold MacKenzie a large collection ofpieces and wrote him a series ofcolourful letters about his finds.

In Calgary, the Glenbow Museumis set to open Mavericks, its firstlarge-scale permanent exhibitionspace since it opened the BlackfootGallery five years ago. Replacing adisplay of early pioneer artifacts,Mavericks is designed around Calgaryauthor Aritha van Herk’s nonfictionbook of the same name, subtitled“An Incorrigible History of Alberta.”Opening in February, the exhibitionwill take viewers into the individualstories of Alberta’s most notable citi-zens, examining history through apersonal lens with art, photographs,artifacts and multimedia.

CARDINAL-SCHUBERT WINSABORIGINALAWARDCalgary-based painter Joane Cardinal-Schubert, RCA is one of 14 recipientsof the 2007 National AboriginalAchievement Award. Given annuallyto honour outstanding career

achievements among First Nations,Inuit and Métis in Canada, Cardinal-Schubert received the award in partto recognize her excellence as apainter, but also in acknowledmentof her work as a writer, curator, andactivist for the creative identities ofAboriginal artists across North Ameri-ca. Known for paintings that evoke aghostly sense of spirituality and place,Cardinal-Schubert has been writingon the value of Aboriginal creativitythroughout her career. A graduate ofthe University of Calgary and theAlberta College of Art and Design,much of her work as an activist hasbeen focused on Native land claimsand repatriation of Plains culturalobjects.

CALGARYMERGES ARTSADMIN AGENCIESAt its Annual General Meeting inSeptember, the Calgary Regional ArtsFoundation (CRAF) voted to dissolveand merge with the recently createdadministrative organization CalgaryArts Development Authority (CADA).Created in March, 2005 in the wakeof an ongoing city-wide debateabout the value of arts and culture ina city driven by business and entre-preneurialism, CADA was put inplace by the City of Calgary to bringtogether arts organizations under asingle umbrella for promotion,investment and strategic direction. Inplace for 37 years as the city’s artsfunding agency, it made sense tofold CRAF into the authority, to cen-


IN MEMORIAMOne of Saskatchewan’s most promising young artists, John Henry Fine Day, passedaway in November after a five-year battle with leukemia at the age of 32. Knownfor his contemporary carvings, and contributions to Aboriginal art in the province,Fine Day was a member of the Sakewewak First Nations Artists’ Collective.Fine Day’s distinctive animal sculptures reconfigured traditional materials includingrawhide and sinew, and his stark, clean-lined paintings on carved yellow cedarplanks had a modern, iconic quality. Originally from the Sweetgrass First Nation,and a graduate of the bachelor of fine arts program at Regina’s First Nations Uni-versity, Fine Day landed two solo shows, at the city’s 5th Parallel Gallery and at theCumberland Gallery, before he graduated. More recently, he completed carveddoors for the ceremonial tepee on the grounds of First Nations University. Fine Day is represented by Regina’s Nouveau Gallery, which held a memorial ser-vice and retrospective of his work in early December, featuring many pieces donat-ed by family and friends.


tralize granting and funding process-es. The new organization is nowfully responsible for allocating

municipal grants to arts organiza-tions for operating costs and specialprojects. In the visual arts, CADA cur-

rently grants a variety of public insti-tutions and organizations, includingthe Art Gallery of Calgary, the

Leighton Foundation, the TriangleGallery, and the Alberta PrintmakersSociety.

CANADACOUNCIL NAMESPHOTOGRAPHYWINNERKaren Ostrom, formerly of Sidney, BC,but now living and working in NewYork, has won the 2006 Duke andDuchess of York Prize in Photography,awarded annually to a professionalfine art photographer chosen from acompetition for a Canada Councilproject grant. Awarded $8,000 plusthe grant, Ostrom is known for creat-ing fantastic and imaginative newworlds within the context of her pho-tographic installations and tableaux.


LONDON DISPATCHThe National Gallery in London’s Trafalgar Square has expanded to show work byemerging artists, and as part of the program, in 2005 Winnipeg painter Tim Gard-ner spent a few months exploring the National Gallery collection, while working inan artist’s studio there. Twenty watercolours and pastels influenced by his timespent with the Old Masters will be on display there between January 17 and April 15, 2007.

Gardner established his international reputation with his first solo show inNew York in 2000—his paintings, primarily watercolours, were described by TheNew Yorker as “profound”.

The juxtaposition between the medium and the content of Gardner’s paint-ings—traditional watercolours commenting on masculinity, community, and subur-ban middle-class North American life—won him acclaim for their blend of docu-mentary photorealism with a warmth that evokes the profundity of the ordinary.Gardner’s early work, which celebrated the exuberance of youthful masculinity,gives way in this new show to a more explicitly contemplative vision. The opengazes of earlier paintings are replaced by faces obscured or looking away.

Both Skier and Nick on the Prairie portray figures looking out onto a lovinglydepicted natural environment. The use of watercolour softens the dramatic impactof a lone skier against a vast mountainous backdrop, white and blue/grey huesdisplaying a tonal shift from the bright snow to the gentle reflections of blue skyand dark, shadowed mountains. The strong connection between human andnature continues with Nick on the Prairie, Gardner’s portrait of his older brother,which shows the bold horizontal lines of the prairie contrasting with the upright,heroic figure facing into the wind and warm sun.

Suburbia continues its presence in Gardner’s work through a more ambiguouscharacterization than in previous showings. In Boy on a Bus, the boy is framed tothe right of the canvas, split from the left of the picture by a yellow hand rail, the

KAMLOOPSGALLERY GETS TOPDESIGNATIONIn the fall, the Kamloops Art Gallery(KAG) celebrated a milestone staffhad been working toward for severalyears. Canadian Heritage gave thegallery Category “A” Institution status,recognizing its fulfillment of severalstringent requirements in the areas ofart storage, display and conservation,public programming and collection.The designation, which is granted fol-lowing a rigorous inspection processby the Canadian Conservation Insti-tute, reflects KAG’s ability to collect,store and exhibit works donated toits permanent collection, which isexpected to encourage further publicand private donation and support.

CALGARY PUBLICSCULPTURECONSERVESWATERThe City of Calgary Public Art Pro-gram has commissioned acclaimed

North Carolina-based sculptorThomas Sayre to create a multi-stageoutdoor work that incorporates ele-ments of water conservation, micro-climate, and prairie landscape.Known for his large-scale organicsculptures and “earthcastings”, Sayrewill transform the landscape outsidethe city’s new public utilities building,the Water Centre. Working with land-scape architect Doug Carlyle, Sayre’sdesign will combine retention pondsand runnels that will capture and fil-ter storm runoff, banked by prairieperennials, benches, and landscapingelements.

YUKON ARTSTUDENTS FLYSOUTHWith a new transfer agreement inplace, fine art students at Yukon Col-lege’s School of Visual Arts in Daw-son City will be able to move from afoundation year at the College direct-ly to second-year placement at Van-couver’s Emily Carr Institute or theAlberta College of Art and Design in


left side showing a suburban home through the bus window. Earlier depictions of this environment in Gardner’s work were more at ease—a mood of subtlequestioning. This theme is also present in the calm of Oak Bay Basketball, as theenergy of a single basketball player shooting hoops is dwarfed by the stillness ofthe scene. On the one hand the scene feels complete — with home, play, andnature present — and yet it is also incomplete. The playing figure is alone, com-munity absent.

South of the Thames, Charles Malinsky continues to present his work at theBlackheath Gallery as part of their Spring exhibition, with the next instalment ofhis Final Journey series. In 2003, Malinsky began a series of paintings exploringthe imaginative space between mortality and eternal salvation or damnation. Thisgave rise to the concept of the ‘corridor’ (which has a resemblance to theCatholic idea of purgatory), the neutral space in which the narrative action ofMalinsky’s paintings takes place. Up to 20 of his most recent black and white oilpaintings represent further development in his work. The Final Journey beganwith the great theatricality of earlier work, angels and demons appearing along-side mortal souls, as aides or hindrances; but now the vision has been refined toa more narrow focus and draws on personal experience to explore mortality, andthe afterlife. Malinsky uses rail travel to represent a romantic medium, with thepossibility of connecting with strangers

Themes of love sought, love lost, and revenge are played out against thisbackdrop, as souls search for reunification with those they have loved when theywere alive. As in earlier work, such as A Promise at Dawn and We Will SimplyTravel Beyond the Need to Explain, there are scenes of intimacy with couplesholding onto each other, but the quiet peace is undermined by the presence oflurking figures, suggesting that the journeys they are embarking upon will not bestraightforward ones of salvation. Uncertainty hovers over these paintings.

tecture. Manitoba Modernist Archi-tecture 1945 – 1975, which ranthrough the end of October, show-cased exquisite photography, histori-cal notes, plans, interior design, andperiod furniture. As part of the show,the University of Manitoba Presslaunched the companion book, Win-nipeg Modern, edited by guest cura-tor Dr. Serena Keshavjee and includ-ing essays, architects’ biographies,and photography from the exhibi-tion. The book travels through strictmodern designs—as seen in the cool,linear Winnipeg International Air Ter-minal— and more organic, flowing

interpretations of modernism, such asthose found in the city’s PreciousBlood and St. John Brebeuf churches.

ARTISTS CAPTURENORTHWESTPASSAGEOpened in late 2006 at the Vancou-ver Maritime Museum, an exhibitioncalled Arctic Quest commemoratesthe 100th anniversary of the firstcomplete voyage through the fabledNorthwest Passage. Finally won in1906 by Norwegian explorer RoaldAmundsen, it’s one of the mostimportant milestones in Arctic history.

In 2006, 25 contemporary artistsembarked on a voyage through thePassage, led by painters Linda Mack-ey, Kathy Haycock and BonnieLevinthal. They spent more than aweek traveling to remote Arctic com-munities, capturing their impressionson canvas and distributing art sup-plies. Once they had returned south,they produced enough work to createthe show Arctic Quest — the workwill become part of the VancouverMaritime Museum’s permanent col-lection after it tours.

The show and the journey are allpart of a larger artistic, cultural and

educational endeavour started in2005 by photographer and formerastronaut Roberta Bondar, andpainter Doris McCarthy. Their goalwas to create artistic opportunitieswhile helping to enrich access to cul-ture in northern communities. Arecent auction of donated paintings,including a painting by McCarthy ofPangnirtung Fjord, raised funds tohelp young and emerging Inuitartists. The group also hopes to raiseenough to restore a historic Geologi-cal Survey of Canada building inPangnirtung for use by local and visit-ing artists.


SEEN AT THE TORONTO ART FAIR…Any time you gather the best and brightest from the art world in one place, com-parisons are inevitable. If that’s the case, then this year’s Toronto International ArtFair, featuring 84 galleries from 10 countries, showed that from hip “anti-art” tothe traditional landscape, western Canadians have created their own growingniche in the art world. The majority of our region’s galleries at the Art Fair nowoperate out of at least a few cities.

A recent expansion to Calgary, for example, signalled Loch Gallery’s continuinggrowth into a wider market (they’re already in Toronto and Winnipeg), and theirbooth was one of the largest at the fair, featuring a host of senior Canadianartists.

Douglas Udell Gallery, now located in Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver,maintains a huge stable of artists from the international to the regional, withEdmonton’s Dean Drever one of their many emerging talents. Their booth alsofeatured some of the region’s topsenior artists, including Regina’sDavid Thauberger and Joe Fafard, andformer Winnipegger (and currentNew Yorker) Marcel Dzama.

Monte Clark Gallery, based inVancouver and Toronto, featuredwork from artists such as DouglasCoupland and Derek Root, as well asrecent RBC painting competitionfinalist Holger Kalberg. BjornsonKajawara, also from Vancouver, fea-tured up-and-comers like Saskatoon’sKristin Bjornerud, while Bau-Xi,another Vancouver space, featured the engaging floral work of Bobbie Burg-ers, among others.

“T at Three” was a new component of the fair this year, with afternoonpanel discussions featuring some of the more notable galleries, artists, andcurators around. The first day of this event featured Yves Trepanier (of Cal-gary’s TrepanierBaer Gallery) and Paul Butler (artist and director of Win-nipeg’s web-based othergallery) discussing their different approaches to sell-ing and marketing art.

As the world shrinks in the age of the Internet, regionalism takes on lessof a negative tone, and has in fact become a selling point. And as the qualityand growth of the galleries at this year’s Art Fair shows, the West more thanholds its own.

PECULIAR CULTUREBRITISH COLUMBIA: The Contemporary Baroque, December 8,2006 - March 18, 2007, Art Gallery of Greater Victoria

By Allan Antliff

Peculiar Culture: The Contemporary Baroque continues the Art Gallery of GreaterVictoria’s occasional pairing of historical and contemporary exhibitions, looselyaligned to a related theme. In this instance, under the umbrella of the Baroque,curator Lisa Baldissera brings Victoria-based artist Luanne Martineau’s sculpturestogether with etchings by British artists Jake and Dinos Chapman, modeled onFrancisco de Goya’s famous Disasters of War (1810-1820).

Peculiar Culture complements the tour-ing exhibition Baroque Masterworks fromthe National Gallery of Canada, whichopened at the AGGV in December. A thirdexhibition, Misshapen Pearl: The BaroqueEra, rounds out the ensemble with a selec-tion of fine and decorative art from thegallery’s permanent collection.

Baroque art is the historical way-station in European culture between lateRenaissance classicism and the courtly eroticism of the Rococo. Baroque works—Gianlorenzo Bernini’s Ecstasy of St Theresa (1647-52) is a famous example—deploy the lessons of the Renaissance in a bid to transport us into an imaginaryworld where dramatic effect trumps reality, bringing saints, angels, and mytho-logical gods down to earth. That evocation of emotion was a central concernbecause of the close proximity of spiritual and material existence at that time.

Similarly, the artists in Peculiar Culture merge the imaginary and the real ingrotesque and horrific configurations, presented as the contemporary equivalentto the emotionally-charged art of the Baroque.

The Chapman brothers’ Disasters of War alters depictions of atrocities visitedupon soldiers and civilians alike during the French invasion and occupation ofSpain (1808-1814) under Emperor Napoleon I.

For Goya, the Napoleonic wars marked the end of any hope for the spread ofenlightenment values by force of arms, and he intended the Disasters of War as atour-de-force, protesting against the triumph of base inhumanity over our betterselves. The Chapmans, on the other hand, have freely added to Goya’s depictionsof beheading, dismemberment, torture, and impaling in order to distance usfrom this point of origin. Integrating popular imagery such as a crudely drawnswastika, a clown head and a Disney cartoon figure into Goya’s etchings, theytransform their alterations into the antithesis of what the originals stand for.

Luanne Martineau’s brightly-coloured sculptural composites of felt, string,teak, and bed foam have a visceral impact without undermining the centrality ofimagination at the heart of the Baroque theme. The sculptures appear to suggestthe left-over organic detritus of horrific automobile accidents, abattoirs or road-kill, but they do so through evocation, not trivialization.

The Baroque sensibility finds a home here, albeit one without the earlier era’ssense of wonderment. Baroque artists unleashed the imaginary in the service ofreligion and imperial pomp. Martineau wrenches it out of us by tapping into ourcapacity to respond to horrors that are never spelled out, only suggested.

Viewing Parasite Buttress (2005), a seemingly nasty smear of fleshy matterpouring down a wall onto a floor, we can feel the “real” closing in, but findrelief, paradoxically, in the reflection that it is only our imagination—a subtleimploding of Baroque-style illusionism that carries with it a mixture of empathyand revulsion.

Luanne Martineau is represented by Trepanier Baer Gallery in Calgary.

close relationships between all theartists,” he says. “There was nosense of competition or negativity.It was very positive and exciting.”The focus of this thriving com-

munity of artists was the Saska-toon Art Centre, the precursor to

the Mendel Art Gallery. The Centre held a ground-breaking show for Rogers in1960 that included ten welded steel sculptures. “In Canada at the time therewere only one or two others working with welded steel, especially abstract steelsculpture. It was quite an event and well received. There was an acceptance ofthe new and an active interest in it.”

A 1967 show of 16 paintings at the Mendel Art Gallery called LandscapeVibrations firmly established Rogers’ reputation on the Canadian art scene. Healso worked to revive the Emma Lake Artists’ Workshops. They had encouragedNew York artists and critics like Barnett Newman, Clement Greenberg and Ken-neth Noland to come to the Artists’ Workshops. Rogers later brought AnthonyCaro, a British-born sculptor who had been an assistant to Henry Moore, toEmma Lake in 1977. Caro later started the Triangle Workshops in New York basedon his experience at Emma Lake.

The upcoming Gallery Jones exhibition will continue Rogers’ tradition of largeabstract canvases marked by boldness and simplicity, including frequent use ofwhat he calls “the horizon line”—hard edges and lines almost inescapable inprairie landscapes where the land and sky meet visually on the horizon.

Rogers’ work is in most major collections in Canada and many internationalcollections. Today, he lives and works in Prince Edward County in Ontario. “Insome ways, my work hasn’t changed. It has matured and there is greater depthand breadth to it,” he says. “A lot of my early work was a dance between prairielandscapes and the influence of modern American and European art. I’m stillmoved by land and nature but in recent years I have moved to some indirect ref-erence to the landscape.”

BRITISH COLUMBIA: New Works, March 1 – 30, Gallery Jones,Vancouver

By Beverly Cramp

Growing up in an isolated prairie farmhouse with few cultural amenities is anunlikely beginning for one of Canada’s premier abstract artists. Yet it was thestarting point for Otto Rogers, born in 1935 in Kerrobert, Saskatchewan.

“My parents were good people but they weren’t worldly,” Rogers says. “Therewas no classical music, no art, nor even any books in our home.”

It wasn’t until Rogers started teacher’s college at the age of 17 that he hadhis first exposure to visual arts. As part of his training, Rogers had to take an artscourse. “That was when I really started painting. I had a wonderful teachernamed Wynona Mulcaster who introduced me to contemporary art. She believed Iwas a talented painter and encouraged me. I would paint all night and bring thepictures to her the next morning. She would critique them. She was so enthusias-tic about my work.”

Early influences included Paul Klee, Henri Matisse and Henry Moore. Rogers’attention was particularly captured by Moore’s sculptures, and his drawings of

World War II Londoners seeking sanctuary from bombs in the city’s undergroundtrain stations in a 1945 book called Shelter Sketch Book. “I especially liked Moore’swax crayon studies of figures, painted over with white watercolour,” he says.

None of these new art forms looked strange to Rogers. Instead, he says theyseemed like “old friends” and he immediately took to contemporary art. In 1954he attended a six-week painting course at Emma Lake in Saskatchewan, initiallystarted in 1936 as an art camp. Emma Lake became well-known in the 50’s and60’s for the modernist focus of its Artists’ Workshop, part of the University ofSaskatchewan’s summer program.

Rogers’ mentor, Mulcaster, gave him his first solo exhibition the year he grad-uated, and convinced his parents to send him to art school. He went to the Uni-versity of Wisconsin where he earned his Master of Fine Art degree, majoring inboth painting and sculpture.

In 1959, Rogers applied for an opening as a painting instructor at the Univer-sity of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon. He got the job but planned to leave after ashort stay, only to remain for 29 years as he progressed from instructor throughto full professorship and head of the Fine Arts Department.

It was the vibrant arts community that kept Rogers in the small Saskatchewancity. “The art scene in Saskatoon in the early 60s was amazing because of the

recomprising and expand-ing Project Flyleaf, whichhe first showed last year atthe Elliott Louis Gallery inVancouver. The project hadits genesis in a gift of some1,000 used books from afriend who was closing asecond-hand bookstore.Nicolay, who loves explor-ing alternative and imagi-native possibilities foreveryday objects, tackledthe books with abandon,cutting some with a band-saw, dog-earing the pagesof others, setting a few onfire and otherwise, well,deconstructing the text.

While playful, theproject does have a critical

component in its examination of taboos around books, a theoretical position thatparallels contemporary art’s often-critical attitude to traditional ideas about thesingularity, validity and monetary worth of the art object. “The idea of the book isrigid and formal,” says Nicolay. “You’re not supposed to do these things to it. Ireally question that. But sure, at the same time, a book is a work of art in itself.Its function almost becomes dysfunctional by putting it through a bandsaw andcutting it up. But a lot of these books were destined for the dump so I think it’sfair play.”

In Nicolay’s view, everything is potentially art—whether the sounds at a curl-ing match or the scribbles strangers leave in phone booths. While flippingthrough the books, he found himself attracted to their marginalia, particularly thenames, notes and doodles on flyleaves. He removed many of these pages andthen drew on them, often inscribing images of children playing, and then mount-ed them on 3-D wooden structures that allowed him to re-incorporate books aswell as other objects such as blackboard erasers. He also created several installa-tion elements—a stack of books with an embedded wooden chair and a schooldesk with a chalkboard surface that invited visitors to doodle.

“The drawings are about a re-education or a re-examination of familiarobjects,” says Nicolay. “It’s a theme with a lot of my work—transforming the usualinto the unusual. But not because it’s better or worse or anything. One of the rea-sons why I’m really interested in art and art-making is because it’s a way to let peo-ple examine what we are really familiar with, but to see it through a different lens.”

Nicolay, who earned a BFA from Okanagan University College in Kelowna in2000, has quickly established an eclectic career through artist-run centres, publicgalleries and commercial venues. He juggles his studio work with several part-time jobs that include teaching at ArtStarts, a non-profit organization in Vancou-ver that provides children’s art classes, and preparatory work for several commercial galleries.

Still, Nicolay says he has been feeling restless of late and would like to travelin Europe, participate in overseas residencies and possibly enrol in a Master’s pro-gram. But whatever choices he makes, he will undoubtedly find—and probablycreate—more systematic confusion.

Christian Nicolay is also represented by Elliott Louis Gallery, Vancouver.

BRITISH COLUMBIA: April 12 – 26, Art Ark Gallery, Kelowna

By Portia Priegert

Christian Nicolay is fascinated by chaos and usually has no trouble finding it—hejust looks at things around him. Almost anything—books, baseballs or bridges—can be fodder for his manic energy and Dadaesque eye. His artist’s statementcomes straight to the point: “My art is about paying attention to systematic con-fusion.”

Nicolay, who is based in Vancouver, has done everything from hitchhikingacross Canada with a chair to making an unauthorized scaling of the 364-foottower of Lions’ Gate Bridge to create soundscapes of cars zooming across thespan. He plays a mean amplified ten-nis racket, has disemboweled dozensof baseballs, and produced a videodemonstrating the possibilities of self-propelled human flight that, needlessto say, ended badly.

For his exhibition in April at theArt Ark Gallery in Kelowna, Nicolay is

INUIT SCULPTURENOWBRITISH COLUMBIA: November 18, 2006 – March11, 2007 Surrey Art Gallery,SurreyMichael Massie’s silver and ebonysculpture called Unit-tea, could beany non-geographically specific mod-ern sculpture. But Massie is one ofthe 16 artists in a traveling show ofcontemporary Inuit art from theNational Gallery of Canada currentlyon exhibition at the Surrey ArtGallery. That immediately places itwithin a cultural context. Andthough Massie’s piece breaks newground both in form and materialsused in what we traditionally think ofas Inuit art, there are many refer-ences to Inuit culture.

The silver sculpture could be astylized teapot. Its shape is of theubiquitous Inuit ulu — the all-pur-pose crescent shaped knife used forculinary purposes, animal skin prepa-ration, making clothes and othergeneral cutting tasks. The ulu’s dailyuse has made it one of the chiefsymbols associated with Inuitwomen. The arched “teapot” alsosuggests the curving body of the arc-tic whale, the narwhal. The spiralingebony features look like the charac-teristic front tooth of the Narwhalthat can grow upwards of six to ninefeet.

Massie is known for minglingWestern art techniques and Inuitimagery, while other works in theshow employ more traditional mate-rials like caribou antler, ivory tusk,and soapstone. There are severalpieces depicting the rounded, well

polished surfaces favoured by CapeDorset artists, but the main link unit-ing this latest generation of Inuitartists is their common heritage.

Many of the show’s 25 sculpturesspeak to the harrowing conditionsthat northern aboriginal peoples facedas their traditional lifestyles becamedisrupted and dislocated by moderninfluences. Abraham Anghik Ruben,born near Paulatuk, NWT, and now liv-ing on Salt Spring Island in BritishColumbia, has three pieces that alludeto these pressures. In Breaking Tradi-tion a man, bear, seal and loon arefalling out of a broken boat. Under-neath them is the mirage of Sedna, asignificant sea goddess in Inuitmythology, sporting an angry face.“There has been a break with thepast, and with the beliefs of tradition-al culture,” Ruben writes about thispiece. It is left to the viewer to decideif the changes are negative or positive.

One of the most visceral sculp-tures is a piece by Floyd Kuptanacalled Starving Bear made of Braziliansoapstone and bone. The wasted anddamaged-looking form is a reminderof the increasing global warmingreportage and television news imagesof underweight polar bears strugglingto stay afloat amid melting ice floes.

On Jutai Toonoo’s piece, text isetched into a green stone carvingcalled The Four Winds. It payshomage to the wind — a fascinationfor the artist. The carving has foursides, each with words that combineto make a small Haiku-like poem.— Beverly Cramp

PETER IVENSALBERTA: April 28 – May 13, Elevation Gallery, CanmorePeter Ivens says that it’s no surprise that landscape should figure so prominently inhis work. In discussing his upcoming exhibition of 25 oil paintings, this Calgary-based artist says that, while he’s an outdoor enthusiast, the land goes beyondsomething to look at, and in fact shapes our identity in the West. “I think it’s adefining characteristic of who we are — we place ourselves in it, and measureourselves by it,” he says. “Out here we have to accommodate it, rather than viceversa.” In the 1980s, Ivens quit a lucrative career in graphic design to go back toschool, graduating with a BFA from the University of Alberta in 1987. His designpast may still influence his painting, “but I’ve managed to shake most of it loose,”he says with a laugh. His paintings reflect his varied background, though — hismountains, valleys, and rivers are precise in their composition, and yet Ivens takesliberty with colour and application of paint. A single stroke of dark paint willsometimes represent a change in the topography or light. “My work certainly has

interpretive expression,”Ivens says, “but I’m always interested in thelandscape.”Represented by:

GIUSEPPE ALBIALBERTA: February, Peter Robertson Gallery, EdmontonGiuseppe Albi has covered a lot of ground as an artist. Nearing his 60th birthday,the long-time Edmonton-based painter can look back at a career that saw himshift from his training as a sculptor to colourful abstract paintings, then migrate tocreating painterly weavings that split the difference between two- and three-dimensional art, to his most recent shift to painting two-dimensional works with-out traditional canvases. “This is 30 years of painting experience coming into playin these works,” says Albi, an Italian-born artist who’s lived in Canada since 1951.“In this series I’m painting directly on polystyrene squares, a material in the familyof thermal plastics that shrink and contract at the same rate as acrylic paint, andI’m letting the paint just flow off the edges.” After the paint dries, Albi peels offthese free-floating images from his studio counter-tops and mounts them on coat-ed aluminum sheets which are then framed. The goal in this newest series of workis to produce a running series ofpaintings with a new take oncolour. Albi is thrilled with how thisparticular technique has allowedhim to seamlessly produce workin large and small formats. Influ-enced by a recent trip to Italy anda move to a new downtownEdmonton studio space, Albi isallowing his love of urbanity andarchitecture to create work thatmimics this cosmopolitan density. — Gilbert A.

ERICA GRIMM-VANCEBRITISH COLUMBIA: April 1 - 30, Bellevue Gallery, VancouverHer technique is complex, involving materials such as modeling pastes, gels,beeswax, steel, gold, and layers of oil washes. She is steeped in art theory and aninquiry into what it is to be human, but Erica Grimm-Vance maintains that draw-ing is the foundation of her work. “The core of my practice is drawing,” she says.“I’m fascinated with line work and the ability of the line to communicate. I feelstrongly about the expressive quality of lines and their potency.” Grimm-Vancecurrently teaches at Trinity Western College in Langley, BC, and is working on herPh.D. She has a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Regina, where shemajored in print-making and painting. Her upcoming show at the Bellevue Galleryfeatures a series of large 5’ by 5’ panels, each exploring the materiality of thework as well the figurative. “I’m very interested in the body,” she says. “Morethan the sexual body, my focus is about the body in its brokenness and the exis-tence of suffering in the world.”— Beverly CrampRepresented by: Bellevue Gallery, Vancouver; Assiniboia Gallery, Regina

ANN ZIELINSKIBRITISH COLUMBIA: April 30 – May 17, Kurbatoff Art Gallery,VancouverLike a novelist who doesn’t set out knowing what will happen to the charactersin her book, Ann Zielinski says her paintings end in surprises. “I tend to paint intothe unknown,” she says. “I don’t set out to paint some thing. I’m on anunknown journey. For the first half or more of the painting, I’m along for theride. With every painting I have to sense where I am within the process. And thepainting is more than a picture: it has to have a bit of how I feel and what I’msensing.” Zielinski’s latest acrylic paintings, marking 28 years of art-making, con-tinue her line of abstract work. Her work is often heavily textured with many lay-ers, and frequently inspired by natural scenes and forms. Though she has studiedart in ad hoc courses at Emily Carr in Vancouver, Zielinski’s art education hasbeen primarily self-directed. But she was fortunate to have one of Canada’s lead-ing artists visit herisland studio. “JackShadbolt was a neigh-bour of mine on Horn-by Island. He came tomy studio several timesand gave me somegood pointers. His cri-tiques were some ofthe best I’ve ever had.”— Beverly CrampRepresented by: Kur-

ARLENE WASYLYNCHUKALBERTA: February 10 – 27, Scott Gallery, EdmontonArlene Wasylynchuk loves Alberta’s grand vistas and diverse ecosystems somuch, she’s trying to capture all of it in her cutting-edge landscape painting.“I’m trying to fracture the landscape, getting beneath and beyond appear-ances,” says the Edmonton-based painter. She wants viewers to focus on morethan the quick fix of the surface of her work. “I’m trying to paint the deeperlandscape as well as capturing the intransigent in these paintings. I want peo-ple to think about the whole environment when they look at these images andI’m not about painting the typical vista.” Loosely citing the late theoristJacques Derrida, Wasylynchuk says she’s deconstructing the vista, so she canreconstruct it in a new and more connected way for her viewers. This love offragmented vistas, while extreme in this newest body of work, is not a totallynew thing for Wasylynchuk, who haslong been known for a body of com-posite landscape vistas that sits in aninteresting space between abstractionand naturalism. “I’m going for theheightened sense of colour you feelwhen you’re in the woods,” she says.“This is about the emotional colour ofthe vista and I’m changing the palatequite a bit.” — Gilbert A.

PETER LAWSONBRITISH COLUMBIA: April,Morris Gallery & Framing,VictoriaPeter Lawson doesn’t have to lookmuch further than the artisticopportunities that confront himevery time he looks out his livingroom window. The natural beautyof Vancouver Island’s ShawniganLake and the surroundingregion continually inspire him.“Portraying the natural world isall-encompassing,” he saysabout the landscapes he depicts in acrylics, oils and pen and ink. While maintain-ing the essence of each scene, Lawson may take liberties, distorting the perspec-tive or manipulating wildlife to provide balance. “I try and capture movement, ifit’s water or leaves, and I’m concerned with light and colour,” Lawson says. “I tryand stretch the boundaries a bit with colour.” A graduate of the Kootenay Schoolof Art in Nelson, BC, this year has been his most productive since he surrenderedto his creative instincts in 2000, after a 30-year career with design studios andadvertising agencies. Following an exhibition and sale of original work, gicléeprints and pen and ink drawings at Victoria’s Morris Gallery & Framing lastfall,Lawson will bring an exhibition of black and white drawings to the Gallery inApril, with another show of his colourful natural portraits to follow later in 2007.— Jeanine WoodmanRepresented by: Morris Gallery & Framing, Victoria

RON HEDRICKALBERTA: February 3 – 9, Gainsborough Galleries, CalgaryIn the middle of a cold, dirty prairie winter, the sight of a sun-infused painting ofyoung women by the shore offers a welcome refuge from downtown grit. RonHedrick’s latest exhibition at Calgary’s Gainsborough Galleries offers the sort ofsolace a weekend retreat to the coast might, full of idyllic seascapes and land-scapes rich in colour. The 64-year-old artist knows his subjects intimately —Hedrick’s favourite beach to paint is the same one he played on as a child, and heoften uses family and friends as models. But to the British Columbia-born artist,they are simply means pursuing the holy grail of achieving perfect light in hisimpressionistic paintings. “What fascinates me is more the light than the sceneitself,” Hedrick says, from his Mission, B.C. studio. “The subject matter is just atool to get there, and women on the beach are a perfect venue for that, dressedin white, flowing dresses.” Hedrick dedicated himself to painting in his late 30s,and has since gained recognition across Canada and the United States for his airy,bright oils. When not in his studio, Hedrick teaches and mentors budding artists.— Dina O’MearaRepresented by: Gainsborough Galleries, Calgary; Pacif’ic Gallery, Saskatoon;

DEVITT BROWNBRITISH COLUMBIA: Opens January 11, Elliott Louis Gallery,VancouverSelf-taught mixed media artist Devitt Brown knows street culture. His large photo-realistic and stenciled works often depict the rawness and lurking danger of thestreet. “My history involves lots of participation in street culture, though I would-n’t say I live on the street,” says the Yukon native who has made Vancouver homesince the age of 17. “My birth father has been homeless since I was a kid but Iwas fortunate to be given the opportunity to alter the course of my life, includingmaking artwork.” Brown, who goes by the name the dark, first started creatingart in high school. After graduation, his art production dropped off until a friendgave him a book four years ago that depicted images of street art using maskingand stenciling. “I really liked it. I began cutting a few stencils and ran around Van-couver streets painting graffiti,” he says. Now Brown works in his studio full-time,often 12 hours a day.

BRENT LAYCOCKALBERTA: April 21 – May 4,Wallace Galleries, CalgaryOver a long career, Brent Laycock’spaintings have appeared on two Cana-dian postage stamps and the cover ofReader’s Digest, and been presentedto the queen of Denmark. Mostly land-scape-based, his art has always strad-dled the border between reality andabstraction, and in his upcomingexhibit, Laycock looks for the placewhere these seemingly opposed stylesof art come together. “My work comesfrom observation of the world aroundme, but reality itself can become astudy in abstract composition,” hesays. The latest exhibition from thisCalgary-based artist features 25 colour-ful acrylic and watercolour paintings ofregional flowers, and depicts the sub-jects so close up that their recogniz-able forms blur into semi-abstraction.Laycock, whose numerous honoursinclude a Royal Canadian Academy ofArts (RCA) designation, finds inspira-tion in music as much as in other visu-al art. “Music helps me to understandabstract composition,” he says.“Melody, motion, repetition, rhythm—those concepts apply in most artforms.” He also draws inspiration fromhis sense of wonder at the beauty ofthe Alberta landscape. “Part of thereason I make art is to try to commu-nicate that feeling to other people,” hesays. — Lorne RobertsRepresented by: Wallace Galleries,

DENIS CHIASSONALBERTA: Musical-Melan-choly, February 3 - 24, Webster Galleries, CalgaryQuebec-based artist Denis Chiasson, aself-professed perfectionist, first makesa sketch of his subject, transfers it tothe canvas, then fills in the space insidethe black lines. “When I paint, it’s likecolouring a drawing,” Chiasson says.“Everything must be perfect and well-balanced. The lines are very important.”The inspiration for Musical-Melancholywas an exploration of his own paintingprocess, which is neither sad nor cere-bral, but intensely contemplative.“Sometimes writers write about writ-ing, sometimes I paint about painting,”he says. Chiasson’s contemporarytableaux of introspective young womenand couples are reminiscent of Matisse,in their bold colours and strong lines.The 38-year-old artist draws what heknows, using and reusing images andprops in different paintings to build aprivate, comfortable universe. Whitespace isn’t welcome in his world.Rather, Chiasson likes to fill the canvaswith his subject and layer subtle textureand colours around her. It’s like build-ing a set for a play, he says. “Every-thing is interconnected, like a brick in awall,” Chiasson notes. “It might seemunimportant but everything plays astrong role.” — Dina O’MearaRepresented by: Webster Galleries,

MIKE SVOBBRITISH COLUMBIA:Rhythms in theLandscape, opensFebruary 17, AdeleCampbell Fine ArtGallery, WhistlerMike Svob celebrates 25years of painting thisyear, and his Whistlerexhibition will include35 new works that con-tinue in Svob’s traditionof brilliantly coloured,

impressionistic landscapes. His paintings are sometimes described as “storylandscapes” because of their vivid nature, and he writes that he has been fas-cinated with nature as far back as he can remember, “tramping around in thesparkle of fresh snow…in awe at the power of a summer thunderstorm, theplay of light, the dance of trees in the wind, the sound of waves crashing onthe rocks.” Born in Welland, Ontario in 1955, Svob became a full-time painterin 1982. Experienced in watercolour, oil and acrylic paints, most of his newwork is with acrylics. He now lives in White Rock, BC but travels frequently —something that’s reflected in his artwork. Svob belongs to the Canadian Feder-ation of Artists and is a senior member. He is a strong mentor to youngerartists and frequently teaches workshops. He has also written several booksincluding the latest titled Paint Red Hot Landscapes. — Beverly CrampRepresented by: Adele Campbell Fine Art Gallery, Whistler; White Rock

NATSUKO YOSHINOMANITOBA: Initiative, January 26 – February 16, SemaiGallery, Winnipeg“My drawings are auto-matic expressions of myunconscious,” says Nat-suko Yoshino. “There(are) infinite possibilitiesin a person’s uncon-scious.” Done withmuted watercolour, inkand pencil, Yoshino’sworks are a fun andtrippy journey throughimaginary landscapes,where human and organic shapes float in empty space, all blending into aswirling, seamless whole. Her drawings could be described as falling into a nebu-lous space between Shel Silverstein, Alice in Wonderland, and Marcel Dzama.Yoshino grew up in Osaka, Japan, and has returned there since graduating fromthe University of Regina in 2006. She’ll have her first solo show at Winnipeg’sSemai Gallery this winter. If her work strikes a chord with viewers, though, Yoshi-no says that it’s because it comes from a natural place. “I draw when I want toget away from reality,” she says. “I have never thought that I was talented—I justlike to draw.” A consistent visual theme in her art is the undefined line betweenwhere one thing ends and another begins, a natural extension of her automaticdrawing technique. — Lorne RobertsRepresented by: Semai Gallery, Winnipeg

Contemporary fine art photography in WesternCanada is enjoying unprecedented acclaim. Withemerging talent and new technology, the visuallandscape of the West is being transformed by agroup of artists who have stretched the bound-aries of photography to create new ways ofviewing our world and in turn are capturing theattention of galleries, museums and collectors.

“Certainly in Western Canada the charge hasbeen led by Jeff Wall,” says Yves Trépanier, ofTrépanier Baer Gallery in Calgary. “He is ar-guably Canada’s most successful artist at the mo-ment and perhaps the best known. And out ofhis efforts and others like Roy Arden and Rod-ney Graham there is a second and now thirdgeneration of photo-based artists. They havesome stature internationally, are well collectedand have created a kind of school—The Vancou-ver School. That’s the most visible change inWestern Canada.”

The Calgary gallerist says that because of thehigh profile of select Vancouver-based photogra-phers, spearheaded by Wall’s success, there isnow a positive impact on the photography scenerippling across the rest of Western Canada. “Itconnects a Canadian scene to a larger interna-tional scene,” says Trépanier. “And by defaultthat may come back locally with linkages toartists and the proliferation of art fairs that createsupport for all sorts of artists, including photo-based artists.”

Trépanier points to Danny Singer as a pho-tographer who is capturing this kind of atten-tion. Born in Calgary, and now living in Vancou-ver, Singer uses digital technology to “stitch to-gether” panoramic streetscapes of prairie townsfrom single images. “That recording of our cul-tural history is of huge interest to people inWestern Canada,” says Trépanier. “It has a reso-nance for people in Alberta, Saskatchewan andManitoba. He’s reflecting that history back tothem.”

Reid Shier is director of Vancouver’s Presen-tation House Gallery, Western Canada’s longestoperating photography gallery. He agrees thatcontemporary photography in the west is nowfully accepted as fine art.

“It has certainly achieved commensurate sta-tus with other art forms in the past 10 years,”says Shier. “I’ve seen prices of photography onpar with other artwork. Photography has finallyachieved equal status.”

Karin Bubas is one of the “new” Vancouver-based photographers whose work is now beingwidely collected. A 1998 graduate of the EmilyCarr Institute of Art & Design she often takes herinspiration from film or painting to make pho-

tographs that explore the role of women in soci-ety. Her most recent series, Studies of Landscapeand Wardrobe, uses associations from AlfredHitchcock and Michelangelo Antonioni films as apoint of departure for her tension-filled narra-tives featuring stylishly dressed women depictedin local parks.

Shier says another reason photography hasmade such strong gains in the past decade isbecause of the compelling nature of photo-based works being created by artists who haveabandoned traditional approaches to photogra-phy in favour of new technologies, or the com-bining of media.

He cites Evan Lee, a Vancouver artist whorecently created images of ginseng roots by plac-ing them directly on the window of a flatbedscanner. Suggestive of the sensuous photographsof green peppers made by American photogra-pher Edward Weston in the 1930s, Lee’s work isan eloquent expression of classic imagery creat-ed with new tools.

Kevin Schmidt is among a new generation ofVancouver artists who create works incorporat-ing photography with references to political andpop cultural references, though he would notnormally be described as a photographer. A1997 Emily Carr graduate, Schmidt recently in-stalled Fog, featuring projections of dry ice fogthat had been photographed at night on the for-est floor.

Conjuring spectacles that are equally theatri-cal and photographic, Schmidt is just one of agrowing number of artists based in WesternCanada who are breaking free of photography’sconventions to create new photo-based artworks.

One of the few public institutions in Canada

to track contemporary photography from a na-tional perspective is the Canadian Museum ofContemporary Photography in Ottawa. CMCP di-rector Martha Hanna says contemporary photog-raphy in Western Canada is becoming more im-portant on the national scene because of a tal-ented group of artists who are redefining the na-ture of the medium. “It’s never been healthier,”she says of the explosion of photography in thisregion. “There’s always renewal.”

Hanna notes that among this innovative cropof modern artists is Milutin Gubash, a formerCalgarian now living in Montreal. Since 1999 hehas been combining photography, video andperformative art. Gubash uses news articles thathe’s collected from a Calgary daily as a startingpoint to recreate often-disturbing scenes. Aheadline such as Son Charged in Stabbing Deathof Father sets Gubash off—together with his par-ents who he often incorporates into the pieces

as onlookers—on an exploration of narrativeswhere facets of landscape and documentary pho-tography come into play.

Terrance Houle is a Calgary-based artist whoexemplifies the current cross-pollination of cre-ativity. A 2003 graduate of the Alberta College ofArt & Design, Houle uses photography, video,film, painting and drawing to comment on theexperience of indigenous peoples living in amodern world. A member of the Blood/KainaiNation, Houle recently created images for a col-lection he titled the Urban Indian Series. In one

photo an Aboriginal man wearing traditionalgarb, complete with a headdress, is seen pickingup a few items for dinner at a local supermarket.

Steven Dixon is an Edmonton-based artistwho also merges media and technique. A techni-cian in the Printmaking Department at the Uni-versity of Alberta, Dixon is known for his digitalphotographs of the orphaned factories, minesand mills that litter Alberta’s landscape. He useshis knowledge and skills as a printmaker to ad-vance his digital photography.

One of his most recent series of photographs


which he stated, “There is a new strut to Win-nipeg Aboriginal art, and KC Adams is at thehead of the parade.”

Adding to the revitalization is Elaine Stocki, aUniversity of Manitoba art student who takesphotographs of Winnipeggers who come fromall walks of life. “It’s a risky but important strate-gy that deals with social reality in art practice,”Eyland says. Sometimes meeting strangersthrough ads she’s placed in the classifieds, Stoc-ki’s artwork connects with traditions of docu-mentary photography, theatre and fine art.

In the photograph titled Eric and Andrea, thephotographer is shown lying on a bed staringimpassively up at the ceiling of a seedy roomwhile an older man pins her down. Power, gen-der roles and simmering brutality all play intothis remarkable and disturbing photograph—in-dicative of the unique perspectives now coalesc-ing in the West.

Back in Calgary, Yves Trépanier sums up whathe sees as the potent impact of contemporaryphotography in the West and across the world.

“Evidence of that line between art and pho-tography is gone,” he says. “We see photographyin more and more museums, we see photogra-phy in more private collections. We see the influ-ence of the medium on other media. We seeartists using photography, or the camera, or somesort of optical device to make art. The world ismuch more open to technology. And I would in-clude the camera as part of that technology as adevice to make art. It’s fully accepted now.”

Wes Lafortune is a visual arts writer for Fast For-ward Weekly and a regular contributor to PhotoLife magazine. He lives in Calgary, where heworks as a full-time freelance journalist.

ON THE COVER

“For several years I was creating work

called Cyborg Living Spaces based on

Martha Stewart’s influence over the

average American consumer and the

surge of the home décor phenome-

non. This work resulted in the investi-

gation of my own identity, which de-

veloped into a new work called Cy-

borg Hybrids. This digitally manipu-

lated photo series attempts to chal-

lenge our views towards mixed race

classifications by using humorous text

and imagery from two cultures. The

Cyborg Hybrids are digital prints of

Euro-Aboriginal artists who are for-

ward thinkers and plugged into tech-

nology. They follow the doctrine of

Donna Harroway’s Cyborg Mani-

festo[1]— a cyborg is a creature in a

technological, post-gender world free

of traditional western stereotypes to-

wards race and gender. I pho-

tographed artists who fit the Cyborg

Hybrid criteria and had them wear

white t-shirts with beaded text such

as “AUTHORITY ON ALL ABORIGINAL

ISSUES”, “INDIAN GIVER”, “ASK ME

ABOUT MY SWEETGRASS” and other

slogans that would illustrate com-

mon Aboriginal racial stereotyping. I

also created white chokers for them

to wear while I photographed them

in stoic poses, mimicking pho-

tographs of Aboriginal people from

the 19th and early 20th century. I

then digitally altered the photos to

look like they could fit within a glam-

orous magazine. The models’ defiant

poses challenge the viewer to try and

classify their identity as anything

other than a Cyborg Hybrid.”

depicting abandoned industrial sites were printedon Japanese rice paper. The large-scale imageswere digitally output onto the delicate paper andplaced in frames. The effect heightened the im-pact of the photographs which describe a periodin our collective industrialization that’s left be-hind a trail of abandoned infrastructure.

Joining the ranks of these talented photo-based creators is a group of Winnipeg artists whoare using the medium of photography to explorethemes of race, gender and social standing. CliffEyland is associate professor and director ofGallery One One One at the University of Mani-toba School of Art in Winnipeg. He has been fol-lowing the career of KC Adams, an artist he de-scribes as “taking Aboriginal art into the future.”

Originally from Selkirk, Manitoba, Adamsuses herself and her friends as subjects to makedigital photographs that mimic the presentationof models found in the world’s best-known fash-ion magazines. Her series of photographs titledCyborg Hybrids draws attention to stereotypesthat surround race and its various classifications.

Eyland wrote about Adams for a recent exhi-bition of her work at Gallery One One One in


In the past, selling tickets in small-town Saskatchewan may have involvedthe traveling circus, or an itinerant preacher passing through on horseback.These days, it’s more likely to involve a big game for the local junior hock-ey team. But in the Yorkton region recently, contemporary art has beenbringing in the crowds. The Paradise Institute, an internationally celebratedvideo and audio installation with a strong prairie connection, was in townfor three months in the fall of 2006, proving that smaller centres can sustaininterest with special exhibitions that are unusual, challenging, and Canadian.

“The reaction to it has been absolutely fantastic,” says Brenda Sherring,former director of Yorkton’s Godfrey Dean Gallery, which brought theshow in as a touring exhibition from the National Gallery of Canada.“We’ve had people come in saying they heard about it on the countrymusic station, while they were out combining (the fields).”

Part of the key to the Godfrey Dean’s success is the work itself. TheParadise Institute, created by Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller, wonthe Special Jury Prize in 2001 at the Venice Biennale. But the Gallery alsohad the foresight to position this work as a must-see in their community.

Taking a work of art highly recognized within visual art circles, but notwidely known among the general public, could have been a gamble.

The Paradise Institute requires the audience to enter a small, three-di-mensional replica of an old movie theatre and put on a pair of head-phones. From there, they’re taken through a film and audio spectacle thatquestions the very notions of how we view movies—whether we’re simplypassive viewers, or we actively participate in the fiction of movies by bring-ing our own ideas and expectations into the theatre with us.

After its debut, The New York Times said the work “moves installationart to a different plane,” and explores “the unstable relationship betweenwhat seems real and what is.”

While Cardiff is from rural Ontario, Bures Miller hails from the prairies—he grew up in Vegreville, Alberta. Both also worked for many years inLethbridge, Alberta, teaching and exhibiting at the University of Lethbridgeand at the Southern Alberta Art Gallery. But this work’s connections towestern Canada go much deeper than that. The original installation was aco-production of Winnipeg’s Plug In ICA and The Banff Centre’s Walter J.

PARADISE ON THE PRAIRIE


CONTEMPORARY ART DRAWS A CROWD IN YORKTON, SASKATCHEWAN

Phillips Gallery, and its success in Venice launched the prairie provincesback onto the world’s visual arts map.

As co-commissioner of the project for Venice through Plug In ICA,Wayne Baerwaldt played a key role in the original creation and promotionof the work, and says that while its success may have been surprising,everyone involved knew before Venice that they had something special.“Our feeling was that if it fascinated us—and it did—then it should be ableto move other people too,” he says.

Early in its exhibition history, Brenda Sherring, now the executive direc-tor of Saskatchewan Museums in Regina, first viewed The Paradise Institutein Banff. At that point, Sherring was working with a group of people whowere committed to turning the Godfrey Dean Gallery into a true public artspace. She correctly foresaw that bringing The Paradise Institute to townwould help do just that.

“I contacted the National Gallery, and asked why it coudn’t just stophere as it went from Banff back east,” she says. “They said no, but I keptwriting to justify why it should come out here to the prairies. Finally, abouta year ago, they wrote and said they were going to release it on tour.”

So, a work that had been the toast of the international art world, andhad shown in high profile museums and galleries across the country, wassuddenly coming to small-town Saskatchewan.

Once it arrived, the ideas behind promoting the show were relativelystraightforward, Sherring says. “We really focused on the spectacle of it, thefact that it was like the circus coming to town and that we had this pieceof art that people all over the world would love to see.”

A promotional package aimed at schools proved to be a big success.More than 1,000 visitors saw the exhibition in October—with nearly 500 ofthem from local schools. Sherring adds that the show was such a hit thatsome of the kids came back to see it again on their lunch hour.

Some of the major themes behind The Paradise Institute—including thedisruption of the normally comfortable movie-viewing experience —provid-ed a perfect educational tool for reaching kids in a media-savvy culture.

“When the school groups came I would introduce the exhibition, talkabout how, in art, you’re an active participant, especially with a work likethis one,” Sherring says.

In addition, Sherring says that the exhibition pulled in artists fromaround the region, who were eager to see this celebrated work. “For (artists)here in a fairly isolated and rural part of the country, it’s so important to be

able to participate in any kind of dialogue or exchange,” she says. Baerwaldt, who grew up in Regina, has worked at major galleries in

Winnipeg and Toronto, and is now the director and curator of exhibitions atthe Alberta College of Art and Design in Calgary. He agrees with Sherringon the benefits of making this type of ground-breaking contemporary art ac-cessible to people in all parts of the country. “It shows that the NationalGallery can meet its mandate of bringing art to a wider audience,” he adds.

Judging by the enthusiastic public response at the Godfrey Dean, the last-ing impact of The Paradise Institute in Yorkton can’t be overstated, Baerwaldtsays. “For an artist who hasn’t been to Toronto, or a place where The Par-adise Institute is showing, it gives them a sense of what’s possible,” he says.Its success in Yorkton, then, may eventually prove to be just as importantto the future of Canadian art as its success in Venice.

A trance-like expression exudes from a Tsimshian portrait mask carved byan unknown master. The painted form shimmers with the spirit of ashaman and likely belonged to a great chief from one of the tribes thatwould winter in the tiny West Coast village of Metlakatla, across the har-bour from Prince Rupert, British Columbia. More than 143 years old, themask was once used at feasts and ceremonies and played an important rolein the spiritual world of a powerful people.

This piece and another, a war club with clan figures intricately carvedin elk or caribou antler, both taken by missionaries in the mid-19th centurywhen many Tsimshian converted to Christianity, are two objects that tran-scend their field, says Canadian art dealer Donald Ellis. They are not onlyoutstanding examples of Northwest Coast art, but they are extraordinary ona world-class scale, akin to masterpieces from any time in history.

For years these pieces, and 78 others, languished in boxes or were used

TSIMSHIAN MASTERPIECES RETURNS TO CANADA

as dress-up toys by the descendents of Robert J. Dundas, a Scottish chaplainwho traveled the West Coast of British Columbia in 1863. He acquired a slewof sacred and ceremonial objects during a morning stop-over at Metlakatlaand brought the “curiosities” as they were then called, home to Scotland.

Now, thanks to Ellis, two members of one of the wealthiest families inCanada, and three Canadian institutions, these and several other master-works will be coming home. In early 2007, the Dundas Collection willbegin travelling to museums and galleries across the country.

The collection, one of the last well-documented 19th century NorthwestCoast field collections in private hands, was put up for auction at Sotheby’sin New York on Oct. 5, 2006.

Sotheby’s estimated that the 80 pieces would bring in $3.4 million. Butafter the gavel had swung on the last of 57 lots, enthusiastic collectors hadbid more than $7 million, a Sotheby’s record for Native North American art.

Not only was it a watershed moment for indigenous art, it was a water-shed moment for Canada. Canadian collectors or museums purchased al-most half of the valuable collection, which most experts feared would bescattered, piece-by-piece, around the globe.

Canadian institutions had been aware of the collection for several years.It had been held by Dundas’s great-grandson, the 77-year-old LondonerSimon Carey, who once stopped his grandmother from throwing in thetrash what was then considered a strange and musty box of old clubs, rat-tles and bowls. The collection had been offered for sale before.

Attempts had been made to acquire the entire collection, by the Cana-dian Museum of Civilization (CMC) and the Royal Ontario Museum to nametwo interested institutions, but to no avail. Financial considerations mayhave been paramount for the publicly funded museums, but Andrea Laforetat the CMC says “bottom line he didn’t want to sell until now.”

Before the sale, Ellis tried to round up funds from federal, provincialand private sources to help his two museum clients keep the collection inCanada, but on the eve of the auction he’d not been very successful. TheCMC had a $100,000 US budget and the Royal BC Museum in concert withthe Museum of Northern BC in Prince Rupert had another $100,000, plus ashopping list of priorities from the Tsimshian people.

Frustrated by the lack of government commitment, Ellis challengedCanadians in a Globe and Mail article the day before the sale to step up tothe plate and make a difference for the country’s cultural heritage.

That night, the last-minute phone call came. Ellis arrived at the auctionwith a budget exceeding $5 million. Ontario’s David Thomson, son of thelate Canadian philanthropist Kenneth Thomson, and Victoria resident SherryBrydson, a niece of the famous newspaper magnate and art collector,bankrolled the record-breaking results. Nineteen pieces, including the most

valuable—the mask, the club and a frog clan hat—were purchased for theThomson cousins, signaling a great day in Canadian philanthropy.

The CMC spent their budget on five pieces, but after all the planningwith the Tsimshian, the Museum of Northern BC, in partnership with theRoyal BC Museum only acquired a carved wooden spoon for $22,800 US.

“The plan was to unfold depending on the results of the auction,” saysGrant Hughes. Director of curatorial services with the Royal BC Museum,he attended the auction as an observer. In the end, the cost for the piecesthe Museum of Northern BC wanted were too far out of range and theCanadian Heritage funds were never even spent.

Ellis thinks the auction was a defining moment for Canadians. “There are hundreds of people worth hundreds of millions of dollars in

this country, yet so far major philanthropic donations have only gone toscience and medicine,” he says.

“If Canadians are truly interested in cultural heritage, they will have tostart participating in the purchase of it.”

Ellis, who successfully purchased 28 of the 57 lots for a total cost of$5.8 million, also questions the value placed on such important works ofart. He says the record-breaking $1.8 million paid for the prized shaman’smask is a pittance in the world of tribal and ancient art. “It was almost agiveaway,” he says.

A 19th-century African mask sold in Paris for $7 million and pre-Columbian artifacts fetch prices in the tens of millions, he says. In the con-temporary art world, a Gustav Klimt painting can sell for as much as $135million. Even what Ellis describes as a mediocre Lawren Harris piece soldfor $1.6 million at auction.

“History will show the prices were a bargain,” he says of the DundasCollection sale.

The Sotheby’s auction may have raised the stakes for Native art, but ithas also raised concern among First Nations about whether they will beable to repatriate the cultural treasures held by museums and private col-lectors around the world.

James Bryant speaks for the Allied Tsimshian Tribes based in LaxKw’alaams (Port Simpson, BC). Although he supported the Museum ofNorthern BC’s attempts to bid on his people’s cultural treasures, he worriesthat these kinds of prices will make it impossible for First Nations to bringsacred objects home.

“The artifacts were taken for nothing by the missionaries. Now the mis-sionaries’ grandchildren are going to become millionaires out of what hap-pened in the 1800s. It’s kind of a shame to see that going in that direction,”he says.

One of Dundas’s most prestigious converts was the legendary chief

Paul Legaic who once tried to have Dundas killed for ringing the churchbells while his daughter was being initiated into a Tsimshian secret society.

Many of the finest pieces in the Dundas Collection are thought to haveonce belonged to Legaic. Bryant says these kinds of pieces help unravelthe tribal lineages of his people, knowledge that was further scatteredwhen Dundas moved his Christian community from BC to Alaska after hebroke from the Anglican Church.

That said, Bryant is pleased that some of the objects will come back toCanada and his people may be among the first to view the pieces that havebeen so far away from their home.

Asked about what makes up our Canadian identity, most Canadians wouldsee sports and culture playing a significant role. The Canada Winter Games,taking place in Whitehorse — February 23 to March 10 — will integrateand celebrate a broad range of activities that showcase talents and skills ofmany Canadians, athletically and culturally.

Piers MacDonald, the president of the Canada Winter Games Society forWhitehorse, speaks of the significance of this event in the north. Originally,the Games could only be held in one of the ten provinces. Over the last 15years, the Territories began to make a pitch to host the Games themselves.Given its experience with the Arctic Winter Games, Whitehorse put in a bidto host this significant Canadian event, offering a pan-northern character toit by sharing the planning with the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. In2007, for the first time in the history of the Games, the north is hosting ath-letes and visitors from the south.

Over the years, the Winter Games have always included a cultural com-ponent specific to the hosting community, and plans for Whitehorse are nodifferent. In fact, MacDonald claims that they don’t do events there withoutperformers and artists involved. Cultural elements are simply “a much rich-er way of talking about who we are.”

There will be a number of cultural components occurring in Whitehorseduring the Games, including a festival that features a fashion show of cloth-ing designed exclusively by northerners, performance events, music events,and visual arts workshops and demonstrations in tents downtown (yes, in

February) as well as an artists’ market where local artisans can showcaseand sell their work.

But one of the most interesting events occurring in conjunction with theGames is Burning Cold — February 23 to April 8 — the exhibition devel-oped by Scott Marsden, curator of the Yukon Arts Centre Art Gallery. Fol-lowing the notion of a collaborative planning process, Marsden invitedseven other curators from across Canada to put forward suggestions for fiveup-and-coming artists all under the age of 40 from their particular regions.This curatorial process was to seek some of the best young artists Canadahas to offer, in keeping with the philosophy of the Games and the signifi-cant achievements of young people.

The curators all met in Whitehorse for an intensive two-day session tochoose the artists from each curator’s short list, resulting in an eclectic mixof ten artists coming together for this exhibition. By chance, six of the tenartists are of aboriginal background (Dene, Tlingit, Inuvialuit, and Inuit) —a strong indication that indigenous cultures are exerting increasing influ-ence on this country’s contemporary art scene.

Part of the premise of Burning Cold, while functioning as a featureevent during the Games, is to pose multiple questions about the north anddegrees of separation (figuratively and literally). The juxtaposition of workin the exhibition focuses partly on the notion that dwelling north of 60°creates its own isolation.

Marsden himself says that the two days meeting with the other curators

THE YUKON ARTS CENTRE INVITES ARTISTS FROM ACROSS THECOUNTRY TO THE CANADA WINTER GAMES BY KAY BURNS

provided him with a level of peer-to-peer critical dialogue that he hasn’tbeen able to engage in since he arrived nearly five years ago. His advice toemerging artists in the Yukon is to spend some time in the south. Thoughthey may choose to come back in the future, in order to grow artisticallythey need to go south. “If you don’t have input from other artists, then thatwill affect your practice.”

Marsden attributes this in part to the fact that there is no art school inWhitehorse and thus less of a forum for critical engagement. However, hestrongly advocates for the community of Dawson City, six hours north ofWhitehorse. Dawson is a dynamic arts community that Marsden believescould become a “mini mecca” for artists, with organizations including theKlondike Institute of Art and Culture (KIAC) and the Odd Gallery providinga magnet for vibrant arts events and potential. KIAC is now in the processof developing an art school that will provide a Foundation year transferable

to Emily Carr College of Art and Design in Vancouver, and Alberta Collegeof Art and Design in Calgary.

Into this northern region, comes an exhibition for the Canada WinterGames that will push the debate, and potentially controversial questionsforward — a discourse around the distinction of north and south. Is there adifference? Are artists aware of the distinction or does it matter? Given thegeographic scope of this country, how is an artist’s practice different inMontreal, or Prince George, BC, or Twillingate, Newfoundland for example?What are the effects of isolation? Is there any kind of unifying Canadian artaesthetic?

Burning Cold features eight individual artists and two collectives, eachchosen as outstanding contemporary artists from across Canada under 40.They include Shuvinai Ashoona and Annie Pootoogook, both of Nunavutand both granddaughters of the acclaimed Cape Dorset artist PitseolakAshoona. Recently awarded Canada’s top prize for emerging artists, theSobey Art Award, Pootoogook’s work, mainly illustrative and rendered inpencil crayon, reveals the ever-present melding of traditional and moderncustoms in the far north.

The Quebec-based collective BGL (Jasmin Bilodeau, Sebastien Giguereand Nicolas Laverdiere) are installation artists whose dynamic work exposesthe intersection between the natural world and the modern, commercialworld. Their playful and mesmerizing work has made the trio immenselypopular in their home province. Vancouver’s Brian Jungen, a former Sobey


traditional stories. He incorporates 3D animation, projection, and otherforms of new media into his installations, which focus on Aboriginal leg-ends, and often include traditional materials. The final region, Canada’s eastcoast, is represented by the collective efforts of Emily Vey Duke and Coop-er Battersby. Working collaboratively since 1994, they produce single-chan-nel video, much of it starring themselves, that juxtaposes expectation withstartling originality and surprise.

Marsden wants to demonstrate his commitment to showing this kind ofwork so local artists and members of the public have the opportunity to seewhat’s happening in Canadian contemporary art by bringing the work tothem, to entice local emerging artists to look beyond their region, and tochallenge the views and critical perspectives of the local art community.

Toronto-based installation artist Tania Kitchell is preoccupied with coldweather, surrounding herself with snowdrifts, and fashioning Joseph Beuys-style snowsuits out of felt. Originally from Central Butte, Saskatchewan, hervideo, photography and installation work explores the relationship we havein Canada with cold and landscape. From the Northwest Territories, sculp-tor Floyd Kuptana uses bone, steel and brass in his intricate depictions ofInuit legends.

Calgary-based sculptor and conceptual artist Craig Leblanc’s work ex-poses the cultural context of the meeting between sport andart. He was one of 12 artists invited to participate in Mak-ing it Like a Man: Masculinities in Canadian Arts and Cul-ture at Regina’s MacKenzie Art Gallery, and all his workquestions our interactions with the public domain.

NORTHERN ART TRAVELS SOUTHAs Inuit artists continue to gather renewed acclaim in Canada, theirwork is beginning to travel further afield, bringing new notice to artforms that are continually being modernized. In late 2006, the Insti-tute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) in Santa Fe, New Mexico, be-came the second major institution in the US to bring in a ground-breaking exhibition of art from Nunavut. It arrived there somewhatorganically, after many years of planning, and has contributed to theprofile of many Inuit artists’ embrace of modern techniques.

John Grimes, director at IAIA, was instrumental in the creationand promotion of the show, Our Land: Contemporary Art from the Arctic. Formerly curator of Native American Art at the EssexPeabody Museum in Salem, Massachusetts, Grimes had visited withan economic and cultural delegation from Canada’s newest province,interested in creating links between Nunavut and the NortheasternUS. The idea arose then to partner with the Nunavut government to create a comprehensive traveling exhibition of contemporary Inuit artwork.

He adds that there were two goals in bringing the exhibitionsouth — to raise the profile of modern Inuit artists, and to con-tribute to transferring a collection of Nunavut artwork then stored inYellowknife to a museum in Nunavut. “We felt that this gave us anopportunity to provide fresh perspective on Inuit art,” Grimes says.“There has always been a strong focus on Inuit sculpture and print-making, but we agreed there was an opportunity to incorporatesome of the incredible work being done in video and film as well.”

Comprised of nearly 75 works in painting, sculpture, video, tex-tile and digital art, the show features the work of emerging and es-tablished artists including Germaine Arnaktauyok, PitseolakAshoona, Pudlo Pudlat, Jesse Oonark, Zacharias Kunuk, and LucieIdlout.

Our Land originally opened at the Peabody Essex Museum in thefall of 2004 to enthusiastic reviews. And when Grimes took on hiscurrent position at IAIA, he pledged to include it in a mandate toshowcase important contemporary Aboriginal art from across thecontinent. With catalogue contributions from acclaimed Inuit film-maker Kunuk, and an appearance at the Santa Fe opening by theArviat Imngitingit dancers and throat singers, the exhibition provid-ed a grand opportunity to communicate the full culture of Canada’snorth to new audiences.

The odds were not in Allen Sapp’s favour. He lost his mother to tuberculo-sis when he was a child, and almost died himself when stricken with anundiagnosed illness at age eight. At 14, he was bedridden with spinalmeningitis. But thanks to two important people in his life—a grandmotherwho tended him and encouraged his youthful interest in drawing, and aSaskatchewan physician who became his good friend and patron—this illit-erate Cree from the Red Pheasant reserve near North Battleford eventuallyemerged from the shadows of illness and poverty to become one of Cana-da’s leading artists.

HOMAGE

Now 78, Sapp has worn his illiteracy as a badge of honour. He declaresproudly that he “resisted the white man’s school” while making his markinternationally as a painter of contemporary rural Native life. Though he at-tended a residential school where he was punished for speaking Cree,Sapp—whose full name, Sappohestahken, means “arrow going through”—never learned to read or write in any language. He found art more conge-nial than the alphabet. “Painting is really Allen’s way of communicating,”fellow Cree artist Bob Boyer told The Globe and Mail in 1995.

The turning point in Sapp’s quest to establish himself as an artist camein 1966 when he was 38, married with a nine-year-old son, living on wel-fare, and selling his paintings on the streets of North Battleford. EileenBerryman, a local hobby shop owner who regularly supplied him withIM

paint and brushes, told Sapp that a doctor, Allan Gonor, was interested inseeing his paintings. Excited at the prospect of gaining a wealthy client,Sapp hitchhiked 140 kilometres to Saskatoon, only to discover that Gonoractually lived in North Battleford. The 43-year-old physician offered Sapp adeal: he would buy and resell all the paintings the artist could produce ifSapp would get off welfare. Sapp agreed, beginning a relationship thatwould continue until Gonor’s death in 1985.

Before meeting Gonor, Sapp produced work that had nothing to dowith his upbringing or heritage. If someone asked him to copy a photo-graph of a mountain scene (“at that time I had never been to the moun-tains”), he would paint to order and be grateful for the $5 or $10 he re-ceived in return. Gonor arranged for Sapp to travel to Saskatoon on week-

ends to take lessons from WynonaMulcaster, an art professor at theUniversity of Saskatchewan.

She urged Sapp to paint what he knew and remembered of life on thereserve. His growth as an artist became, as Sapp recalled in a dictated 1996autobiography titled I Heard the Drums, a matter of listening—“the voicesof our ancestors telling of our glorious past, our culture, and what it meansto be an Indian.”

Sapp held his first solo show, in the garden of Mulcaster’s Saskatoonhome, in the summer of 1968. Every one of the 30 paintings sold, at pricesranging from $175 to $1,500. The following year, Sapp had a show atSaskatoon’s Mendel Gallery that was attended by more than 13,000 people

and resulted in sales of 60 paintings. After that, things moved very quickly.By 1970, with the help of Gonor and a Vancouver business manager, BillBaker, Sapp had one solo show running in Los Angeles, a second in Lon-don, and a third bound for New York. “It made me feel good to know thatwe had such a great country like Canada where even a poor Indian fromthe Red Pheasant reserve could make it to the top,” Sapp said.

Public acceptance was followed by critical acclaim. Diana Loercher,writing in the Christian Science Monitor in 1976, noted that Sapp’s paint-ings transmitted “an atmosphere of stillness and timelessness and sensitivityto the nuances of nature—the texture of grass, the changes of the seasons,the shades of the sky—all rendered in an almost Scandinavian palette ofbrown, blue and white flecked with color.” Marjorie Earl, writing in theWinnipeg Tribune, declared that “in his art Sapp seems almost haunted byone of the absolute wonders of the Prairie landscape: the long winter bluetwilight. Many of his paintings are soft, muted and overcast with this beau-tiful but eerie light.” A Toronto art professor, quoted by W. P. Kinsella inhis book, Two Spirits Soar, remarked that Sapp “does all the right things,but he doesn’t know why he does them.” The Toronto professor went onto explain that here was an artist with no formal training, a self-taughtpainter, who was able to accomplish marvellous work on canvas, usingtechniques worthy of the most highly trained artist.

In 1979, a Sapp painting, Christmas Evening, was chosen for inclusion inthe UNICEF international Christmas card program. The Christmas card was a

great success, and Sapp was honoured again in 1986, when another of hispaintings was chosen for the UNICEF program. Between times, he was hon-oured by being elected to the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts, and by be-coming one of the first recipients of the Saskatchewan Award of Merit. Fur-ther national acclaim came in 1987 when he was made an officer of theOrder of Canada. And, in 2003, the Ottawa Citizen noted that being illiteratehad not stopped Sapp from winning a Governor General’s literary award —for his illustrations in a children’s book, The Song Within my Heart.

But Sapp has said that simple events made him just as happy: ridingwith fellow aboriginals in the Calgary Stampede parade, singing in his na-tive Cree language while riding through the streets of Montreal in a taxi,and speaking in Cree to the doctors at hospitals where he has been treatedfor diabetic complications.

Although Gonor was too busy with his medical practice to guide all as-pects of Sapp’s career, he did pave the way for the creation of a permanenthome for the artist’s paintings. Before his death in 1985, Gonor was work-ing with the City of North Battleford—a community of 15,000—to have anold library building renovated to accommodate a collection of 80 paintingsthat he had purchased from Sapp. This was the nucleus of the Allen SappGallery—The Gonor Collection, which opened in 1989 as one of the onlygalleries in North America dedicated to showcasing the works of an impor-tant living artist. “North Battleford has built a monument to a local boywho made good without leaving home,” reported the Regina Leader-Post.

“The city which once eyed him with suspicion as he peddled his paintingson the street has spent about $700,000 to house a collection of his works.”

Sapp’s former art instructor, Mulcaster, told guests at the gallery open-ing that she had been more of a facilitator than a teacher when showingthe untutored Sapp the difference between making pictures and making art.“He had it all inside him. I think I helped it to come out,” she said. “Youcan’t teach art any more than you can grow roses. You can make theground right. The rose has to produce. And I tried to make the groundright for Allen.” Sapp said he viewed the gallery as a living memorial “notjust to myself, but to my people, the Cree.”

Today, the gallery houses more than 300 Sapp paintings—includingmany donated by the artist—and annually attracts an average of 9,000tourists, who write in the visitors’ book that they come from such places asSaudi Arabia, Italy, Germany, the United States and Japan, as well as Cana-da. CBC television programs and a National Film Board documentary havespread the fame of Allen Sapp far beyond the borders of his own country,and the visitors come to pay homage. Many are surprised to discover thatthe artist is still living—especially in light of the fact that he spent 16 daysin a diabetic coma and came close to death in August 2005—and evenmore surprised when he drops in for a visit. “The whole show stops, andthey clamour for photos and autographs,” reports the Leader-Post. “Manyare completely mesmerized when Sapp drops by.”

Currently on view at the gallery is Seeking Wholeness, an exhibition fea-

turing the work of Sapp and other FirstNations artists. Sapp’s work is alsoshowcased in Journey Through the Eyesof the Cree: The Art of Allen Sapp, aSapp Gallery touring exhibition on dis-play at Vancouver Museum from Janu-ary to September 2007. Dean Bauche,director of the Sapp Gallery, saysthere’s a possibility the touring showwill go on to The Manitoba Museum inWinnipeg after the Vancouver run.Sapp also has a major show and saleof 35 to 40 paintings in March at Banff’s Canada House Gallery, which hasrepresented him regularly for many years. “He’s extremely prolific when he’smotivated and not stressed out about everyday life,” says Richard Mirasty, anEdmonton lawyer who acts as Sapp’s agent and interpreter. Other WesternCanadian commercial galleries carrying Sapp’s work include West EndGallery in Edmonton and Victoria, Assiniboia Gallery in Regina, HambletonGalleries in Kelowna, and Birchwood Gallery in Yellowknife.

After his father abandoned the family, Alexander Young Jackson beganworking for a Montreal lithography company at the age of 12. By 1914 hewas sharing a studio in Toronto with Tom Thomson and painting regularlyin Algonquin Park. In the 1920s Jackson joined the Group of Seven andbegan exhibiting with them, and throughout his career he interpreted Cana-dian identity through the environment.

This panel, Mountain Ash, Grace Lake, was acquired by Loch Gallery in Calgary from a man in Scotland whose father-in-law had unsuccessfullytried to sell it at a garage sale for five pounds. After discovering that theartist was a well-known Canadian painter, the son-in-law approached Loch Gallery.

“We received a call from a man letting us know that he owned an A.Y.Jackson oil and wanted to sell it,” says Ian Loch, who manages the Calgarylocation. “Two days later the image arrived via email and sure enough, itwas a Jackson panel.”

Loch researched the work and discov-ered that Grace Lake, Ontario was well-liked by two Group of Seven painters—A.Y. Jackson and Franklin Carmichael. InCanadian Landscape, a 1941 documentary,the National Film Board featured Jackson painting the view at Grace Lake.

Loch also learned that a canvas painted by Jackson with the same titleand date is in the Carleton University Art Gallery Collection. After compar-ing the two, he says this panel is most definitely the sketch, which wouldhave been painted on site at Grace Lake, while the canvas would havebeen painted in the studio.

Exhibited in October during the gallery’s Annual Exhibition & Sale ofHistorical Works of Significance, the Mountain Ash, Grace Lake panel waspurchased by an undisclosed buyer. It is valued at more than $35,000.
