As We Rise: Photography from the Black Atlantic

As We Rise: Photography from the Black Atlantic

The Polygon Gallery, North Vancouver, BC - To May 14

by Michael Turner

Organized by the Aperture Foundation and curated by The Polygon’s Elliott Ramsey, As We Rise features over 100 photographs from African diasporic culture on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.

Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at Portland State University, Portland, OR - To Apr 29

by Joseph Gallivan

This must-see show makes the connection between the old punch cards of the Jacquard loom of the 19th century and to- day’s digital methods of making patterned fabric by weaving. Many of the nine fiber artists showcased here used the Thread Controller 2 (TC2), a digital/analog loom from Norway that has swept the discipline in the past few years. It allows digital image input but still demands human decision-making and manual dexterity to produce woven art.

The Enduring Seduction of Flight

The Museum of Flight, Seattle, WA - Ongoing

by Lisa Kinoshita

If boarding the Concorde or Air Force One has ever been on your bucket list, then wish fulfillment is tantalizingly within reach at The Museum of Flight in Seattle. This aviation-and-science museum boasts a jaw-dropping collection of more than 150 aircraft and spacecraft, stunningly exhibited in glass-walled and open-air hangars spanning 23 acres. Even non-aviation geeks will be swept up by the powerful story of America’s race to push the altitude of adventure ever higher.

Walter Phillips Gallery, Banff, AB - To Jul 30

by Michael Turner

Artificial intelligence and virtual reality have been with us for a while now – long enough that they now feel less like life-changing innovations than ruins of a failed future. Recent inventions such as ChatGPT and the haptic bodysuit have won over some minds, while others remain skeptical. Fortunately, we have artists like Stephanie Comilang and Simon Speiser who, though aware of the uses and abuses of our new technologies, venture beyond a gadget’s utility in pursuit of its aesthetic ...

Until June 16 at the Pendulum Gallery in downtown Vancouver, PARKERARTSALON: WHAT MOVES YOU. The 7th Annual Exhibition organized by ParkerArtSalon (@parkerartsalon), features over 50 artists who work out of Parker Street Studios in East Vancouver. An overview of the ideas that artists are exploring in their practices, and a look at what is provoking, inspiring and stimulating the creative talents of local artists.⁠
⁠
The Parker Art Salon was officially born one evening in 2015 when a group of artists with studios in 1000 Parker Street met over wine and decided to do a salon-style exhibition in 1000 Parker Street Studios. The exhibition has since become a landmark event for the historic warehouse space. ⁠

At the Henry Art Gallery (@henryartgallery) at the University of Washington, Seattle. Ongoing until August 2023. Chloë Bass: Soft Services is a series of fourteen stone benches placed throughout Seattle’s Volunteer Park. Each bench is engraved with its own inscription—artist-written text that both stands alone and creates a larger meaning across the series of seating—and a silhouetted image applied in light-responsive pigment, which allows the image to shift slightly based on the time of day, weather conditions, and sight lines. The project examines themes of cultivation and wildness, the laws we impose to control human bodies, hierarchy and proximity, and stones as memorials, boundaries, and legislative markers.⁠
⁠
Chloë Bass (b. 1984, New York) is a multiform conceptual artist based in New York and St. Louis. ⁠

From the artist…⁠

"My paintings explore the exchange of energy I feel in the natural world. Gathering fragments of sensory experience from living by the water's edge. I am reminded how the universe works. Working from memory, gestural marks layered into the painting surface emphasizes the power of movement between ebb and flow."⁠

Visit Qualicum Beach on Vancouver Island for HANNES GROSSE: A SHOW OF GRATITUDE⁠
The Old Schoolhouse Arts Centre (@tosh.artcentre) presents Hannes Grosse’s retrospective exhibition, journeying from the geometric and hard-edged abstractions of his early career in his native Germany, to the delicately nuanced Colour Field abstractions that express his move to an island off the west coast of British Columbia. In both acrylic paintings and silkscreen prints, Grosse evokes his immersion in the natural world and his philosophical preoccupation with the “duality of time ... time stopped and time in flux.”⁠

A unique exhibition of architectural photographs is on now at the West Vancouver Art Museum (@westvancouverartmuseum). THE DECISIVE MOMENT: EMA PETER presents work by architectural photojournalist Ema Peter. For the past 15 years, she has documented some of the most significant contemporary buildings in West Vancouver, the Lower Mainland, and around the globe, garnering awards for her images and collaborating with top local and international architects. This exhibition features architecture at the forefront of West Coast Modernism in West Vancouver and coastal BC, with selected images of her renowned international projects. The images illustrate Peter’s unique ability to catch fleeting moments: figures moving through space, a cloud tracing the sky, or a rare quality of light.⁠

At Gallery Jones (@galleryjones) in Vancouver until May 13 – see it before it’s gone! LYLE XOX I. THEY. MINE. YOURS. These arresting photographs span a broad range of salient subject matter from the serious to the satisfyingly frivolous, with several stops along the way. Given the prevalence of the “mask” in his photographs, the existential inquiry into the nature of the self is a strong undercurrent throughout Lyle’s practice. Lyle XOX has been featured in numerous international publications including ArtNet, Vogue Italia, Surface, V, New York Times, L’Officiel, DAZED, Montecristo and many others. He collaborated with renowned musician and performer FKA Twigs and has completed commissions for luxury brands Comme des Garcon and Maison Margiela.⁠
