Many Wests: Artists Shape an American Idea

Many Wests: Artists Shape an American Idea

Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art, Eugene, OR - To Dec 18

by Joseph Gallivan

The West has been claimed by settlers for a long time, first by farmers and ranchers, then gold diggers and oil prospectors, now by suburbanites and work-from-homers. And, of course, cultural theorists and curators. This show looks at more than just cowboys and Indians. Forty-eight modern and contemporary artists, offering a broader and more inclusive view of this region, try to wrestle the perspective back from the Euro-American historical accounts.

Racism is on trial, naturally, ... Read More

Prairie Interlace: Weaving, Modernisms and the Expanded Frame, 1960-2000

Prairie Interlace: Weaving, Modernisms and the Expanded Frame, 1960-2000

Nickle Galleries, Calgary, AB - To Dec 17

by Michael Turner

Like ceramics, weaving is an age-old activity associated with the irreducible minimum of food, clothing and shelter. From time immemorial we have shaped clay pots to store our edibles and woven garments and roofs to keep us warm and dry. Automation has not eliminated these handmade activities but returned them to us as art and craft. Yet while interest in modern ceramics has boomed over the past 25 years, weaving, according to the curators of Prairie Interlace, has been ... Read More

New Art and Sounds from the Pacific Northwest: Indie Folk

New Art and Sounds from the Pacific Northwest: Indie Folk

Bellevue Arts Museum, Bellevue, WA - To Jan 29, 2023

by Lisa Kinoshita

American folk art could be described as the offspring of homespun craft and rough-hewn primitivism, its vitality honed by generations of makeshift invention rather than academic tool-grinding. An exhibition at Bellevue Arts Museum celebrates Pacific Northwest “indie folk” art and music, highlighting the character of this region’s “unique artistic ecosystem involving craft traditions, pre-industrial cultures, and Indigenous and settler histories.” Many of the handmade artworks on ...

Out of Control: The Concrete Art of Skateboarding

Out of Control: The Concrete Art of Skateboarding

Audain Art Museum, Whistler, BC - To Jan 8, 2023

by Robin Laurence

Out of Control is an innovative and engaging look at the intersection of skateboarding culture
and contemporary art. Installed across both floors of the Audain Art Museum, this huge exhibition defies the clichés, such as board graphics and graffiti, that the public might expect of “skateboard
art.” Instead, it features challenging works by 19 local, national and international artists and ranges across many forms and media, including video, photography, monumental ... Read More

At the Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education (@ojmche) until Jan 29: HARLEY GABER: DIE PLAGE. This exhibition features 390 collaged images, music and objects from Harley Gaber’s life. It considers the role of individuals in the course of history and consequently challenges viewers to examine their responsibility to their nation and to one another in the plagues of our times. Gaber (1943-2011) was an American-Jewish minimalist composer and visual artist, known for his arresting works that rearranged the language of art and music. Between 1993 and 2002, Gaber worked on DIE PLAGE. He travelled in Europe, visiting the concentration camps at Buchenwald and Dachau, and photocopying hundreds of images in German archives that depicted the Weimar Republic through the Holocaust. Before he took his own life in 2011, Die Plage was up to 4,200 panels, which have been digitized and preserved.⁠

Through January at the Museum of Northern BC (@museumofnorthernbc), make sure to catch this absolutely fascinating exhibit PALEOMISSION: IN SEARCH OF THE ANCIENT SLOTH. A PREHISTORIC MYSTERY. This travelling show explores one of the greatest mysteries in paleontology – the extinction of the megafauna at the end of the most recent glacial period, about 11,000 years ago. Learn how scientists study ancient environments and extinct animals to discover if the disappearance of the megafauna was due to climate change or the impacts of human activity.⁠
⁠
Scientists from Bishop’s University in Sherbrooke (Québec, Canada) and the Cuban Museum of Natural History in Havana (Cuba), in collaboration with other institutions, are trying to answer these questions through their study of extinct animal remains found in a submerged cave, Cueva Margarita 1, located in the west of Cuba.⁠

Dive with them into the heart of underwater caves and follow their work, step by step.⁠

If you're in Seattle, visit the @fryeartmuseum until Jan 22 for DOOR TO THE ATMOSPHERE, an intriguing contemporary art survey with remarkable ties to the Frye Art Museum’s unusual permanent collection of 19th-century Central European art. With a roster of artists distantly echoing the multinational nature of the museum’s collection, "Door to the Atmosphere" features artists with backgrounds in Uruguay, Croatia, South Korea and Haiti, for example. The works share “a tendency toward spirituality, myth, and the supernatural among artists working today in the United States.”⁠

Now showing @evergreenarts in Coquitlam, BC, HAN-SOOM: GRACE HAN AND GLORIA JUE-YOUN HAN. In this show, bold yet delicate art comprised of Korean ceramic vessels contrasting with clay objects occupy the gallery from floor to ceiling. These two artists’ evocative pottery is put into conversation with installations of Grace’s interactive hexagonal forms and Gloria’s relief-carved baseboards. The artists draw on the technological⁠ and artistic traditions of Korean ceramics through the teachings of elders, working with a distinct visual iconography and the legacy of form and colour. See it today!⁠

Searching for a last minute gift for the fiber art lover in your family? GLORY AND EXILE: HAIDA HISTORY ROBES OF JUT-KE-NAY HAZEL WILSON is a great idea! This catalogue examines⁠ the life and career of this esteemed textile artist, with a spotlight on the 51 large narrative works she created in the last 15 years of her life. Born on Haida Gwaii and chosen in childhood to be a maker of traditional button blankets, Wilson later reinvented their making and materials to produce figurative robes depicting Haida⁠ stories and beliefs, from both pre- and post-contact times. Her “history robes” display her originality of expression and celebrate the strength and resilience of her people and culture. Available widely through bookstores, online and at participating museum shops.⁠

NEGATIVE CAPABILITY: THE ARTIST AS HEALER at Gallery 110 (@gallery110seattle) in Seattle, opening Jan 5! Echoing poet John Keats’ belief that great art can create an epiphany in its beholder, and channelling her perspective of artists as akin to Shamans, Curator and Gallery 110 artist Saundra Fleming juxtaposes works by international artists Olaiho & Dordjevic to reflect on the power of portraiture speaking to the universe inside us. From the intimate interior of the studio to the killing fields of Ukraine, this show gives us work by artists whose portraits and self-portraits double as therapeutic strategies for both creator and viewer. Of particular note are the gender-blurring masquerades of Carol Adelman Kennedy and the wrenching sight of Aleksandar Djordjevic watching bodies pile up in Ukraine.⁠

A multi-awarded Canadian art legend and recipient of the Order of Canada, Toni Onley is best known for his watercolour landscapes of Canada’s West Coast. Born on the Isle of Man, he was influenced by traditional English landscape painters, particularly J.M.W. Turner (1775-1851) and Archibald Knox (1864-1933). He emigrated to Canada in 1948, and moved to British Columbia in 1955. Onley's work is available @madronagallery in Victoria, BC and @wallacegalleries in Calgary, AB. ⁠
⁠
"Alongside of my abstract work in collage, I continue to paint watercolors out of doors and oil landscapes in my studio. I have painted landscape since I was a teenager on the Isle of Man, and always will. All my ideas come from landscape.”⁠
