THE UNCANNY: EXPERIMENTS IN CYBORG CULTURE / Vancouver Art Gallery
VIETNAM NOW: CONTEMPORARY PAINTINGS FROM HANOI, a catalogue from the exhibit that was curated by Jonathan W. Warren for the Dong Phong Art Gallery, Vietnam and exhibited at the Billy King Showroom in Seattle. Warren selected works by five Vietnamese painters who reside in Hanoi for "Serendipitous Passions", this is the first exhibit of an ongoing series featuring the work of five artists from outside the U.S.A. Generous full-page images are complemented by passages of writing by the artists and their biographies.
JOSEPH PARK | MOON BEAM CARESS, a catalogue for the museum exhibition. Park paints quiet oils on canvas using a decorative style and a muted palette. His fanciful work contains elements from art history, film, popular culture and cartoons, particularly Japanese anime. The catalogue presents 20 colour plates of the strongly narrative imagery, plus a detailed essay by chief curator Robin Held.
THE BOW: LIVING WITH A RIVER, edited by Gerald Conaty with essays by Gerald Conaty, Daryl Betenia and Catherine Mastin, showcases the work of dozens of Alberta artists together with 100 historical photographs documenting the history and economic development of Alberta's Bow River. Running commentary and interesting image captions make this catalogue as readable as it is visually appealing for historians and artists alike.
REAL PICTURES: PHOTOGRAPHS FROM THE COLLECTION OF CLAUDIA BECK AND ANDREW GRUFT. This much-anticipated large format hardcover showcases photographs collected by Beck and Gruft over the past three decades. The catalogue includes work from the mid-19th century to the present by such internationally noted photographers as Julia Margaret Cameron, Margaret Bourke-White, Ansel Adams, Weegee, Robert Frank, Stan Douglas, Thomas Ruff, Stephen Waddell and Garry Winogrand.
CHILDE HASSAM: IMPRESSIONIST IN THE WEST by the Portland Art Museum’s Associate Curator of American art, Margaret Bullock. This richly-illustrated large-scale catalogue presents Hassam's gorgeous early 20th Century impressionist paintings of street scenes and landscapes from New England to Oregon. Hassam (1859-1935), whose work is often compared to that of Monet, made several trips to Oregon in the early 1900s. He worked in the plein air style to capture the rapidly changing light and atmospheric conditions of the American wilderness and emerging civilization.
