THE UNCANNY: EXPERIMENTS IN CYBORG CULTURE / Vancouver Art Gallery
CHINA DESIGN NOW was published for a headline exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London that recently travelled to the Portland Art Museum. The significant volume with 180 colour photos looks at the emergence and development of a vibrant Chinese design culture in the context of China’s recent industrialization, consumer revolution and rapid urbanization. Three cities, Shenzhen, Shanghai and Beijing, are used to examine a broad range of topics, from graphic design, branding, and blogs, to the family and the home, fashion, youth cultures, architecture and urban planning, vehicle design and transportation.
EDGE OF THE SUBLIME: ENAMELS BY JAMIE BENNETT was published for the first-ever retrospective of works by this innovative enamelist who established an international reputation in 1986 for creating enamelled jewellery using electroformed shapes. His painterly approach to enamelling produces highly colourful ornamental objects rich with poetic details like patterned floral imagery. The catalogue contains over 100 colour plates and three essays, exploring the artist’s preparatory drawings and addressing the historical and conceptual aspects of Bennett’s work. The travelling exhibition, organized by the Fuller Craft Museum in Massachusetts is on view at the Bellevue Arts Museum through February 28.
SCOTT MCFARLAND features the work of a Canadian photographer whose panoramic narratives have received much recent acclaim. McFarland combines numerous separate exposures taken at different times into single images of parks, private gardens and forests, as well as structures such as zoos, cabins and boathouses. Several essays examine McFarland’s practice, which shares the West Coast sensibility and staging techniques of Jeff Wall and Roy Arden without the neutral stance. Published by Douglas & McIntyre for the Vancouver Art Gallery exhibit.
GREAT NEW WAVE: CONTEMPORARY ART FROM JAPAN is a co-production of the Art Gallery of Hamilton and the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria. Curators Sara Knelman and Lisa Baldissera provide essays on global events and Internet influences – a combination of “Postmodernism, History and Imagination” – affecting Japan’s emerging and mid-career artists. Drawings, installations, photographs, sculptures, textiles and video stills by the six artists in the exhibit show a range of styles and techniques, many with strong recycling and eco-conscious themes.
HAILANS TO AILANS: CONTEMPORARY ART OF PAPUA NEW GUINEA was published to accompany the exhibit last November at Victoria’s Alcheringa Gallery and an exhibit at Rebecca Hossack Art Gallery, London. The 80-page, full-colour catalogue, which includes artist biographies, an introductory piece and five essays, features gorgeous, detailed photos by Janet Dwyer depicting wood and metal sculptures, weavings and paintings that combine contemporary and traditional approaches.
