Zoe Dusanne: The Art of Seeing

Zoe Dusanne: The Art of Seeing

Cascadia Art Museum, Edmonds, WA - To Jan 3, 2027

by Matthew Kangas

In a fresh museum iteration of her art collection, Zoe Dusanne: The Art of Seeing at Cascadia Art Museum takes a different tack. Instead of highlighting the big-name New York and European icons of 20th-century art Dusanne brought to Seattle through her extensive personal contacts, curator David F. Martin has narrowed his focus to two other areas: unknown women artists and Japanese American artists championed by Dusanne. The results spotlight artists of the Pacific Northwest–Seattle area and bolster Dusanne’s position as the leading modern art dealer of the period, one who paid attention to local talent too. Dusanne was not the first—or last—modern art dealer in Seattle. Others were Francine Seders, Otto Seligman, Henriette Woessner and Gordon Woodside. However, her personal charisma and financial support... Read More
Anish Kapoor: Dissolving Margins

Anish Kapoor: Dissolving Margins

Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at Portland State University, Portland, OR - To Dec 5

by Joseph Gallivan

British artist Anish Kapoor hit peak popularity with his sculpture Cloud Gate (2004) in Chicago’s Millennium Park, the silvery bean that is perfect for selfies, and peak controversy in 2016 when he became the only artist licensed to use the “blackest black” paint called Vantablack (since superseded). But the sculptor has a long career as a printmaker, and Jordan Schnitzer is a big collector. Anish Kapoor: Dissolving Margins, from the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation explores nearly four decades of Kapoor’s printmaking practice. Here you can see the editions that Schnitzer swoons over: so many mesmerizing pools of color with hard-to-define edges, which seem to breathe or vibrate. Born in 1954 in Mumbai, India, Kapoor moved to London in the early... Read More
Lyle Wilson: Full Circle

Lyle Wilson: Full Circle

Inuit Gallery of Vancouver, North Vancouver, BC - Nov 7 – 27

by Julie Chadwick

As a genre-bending, multidisciplinary artist, Lyle Wilson has always been one to push boundaries. A Haisla carver with exception- al skills in mediums such as wood, gold, ivory and bone, Wilson also has impeccable lines as a painter and printmaker. His work pulls together elements of traditional Haisla art and more contemporary influenc- es in a style that is entirely his own. “I had a couple of Northwest Coast artists who showed me a couple of things, but I never actually mentored with anybody,” Wilson told Preview. “I’ve been picking up tips from Native artists, Chinese artists, Japanese artists, white artists—plenty of them. I just do what interests me.” Wilson’s latest exhibition at the Inuit Gallery of Vancouver, which runs through November, showcases in 52... Read More
Apparitions: Arturo Pianzola and Robert Pohl

Apparitions: Arturo Pianzola and Robert Pohl

Harcourt House Artist Run Centre, Edmonton, AB - Jan 15 – Feb 27, 2027

by Lissa Robinson

Apparitions is a five-year collaborative project by Edmonton-based photographers Arturo Pianzola and Robert Pohl. This striking exhibition features 32 hand-printed photographs that evoke a human presence without depicting people. Their collective works hold a strange kind of beauty in how the abandoned or forgotten spaces conjure ghosts in the remnants left behind. For Pianzola and Pohl, long-time collaborators and members of the Monochrome Guild—a collective focused on traditional film and printing techniques—the concept for the project emerged once they discovered a mutual interest in subjects marked by human absence. While photography is often thought of in terms of single frames or independent practices, this project shows how the most compelling imagery matures through sustained, cumulative explora- tion. Curating their archives retrospectively allowed them to discover... Read More

What happens when a photograph begins to behave like a painting?⁠
⁠
Edmonton artist Wenda Salomons (@theessencetells) explores the Alberta landscape through abstraction, movement and an experimental photographic process. ⁠
⁠
In WENDA SALOMONS: GESTURE, pinhole exposure and camera movement transform familiar landscapes into dreamlike compositions filled with atmosphere and ambiguity.⁠
⁠
Blurring, unpredictable light leaks and the movement of the camera become part of the work itself. The resulting photographs distill the emotional and spiritual resonance of nature, balancing technical control with the fleeting, organic qualities of the landscape.⁠

At Two Rivers Gallery (@tworiversgallery), Prince George ONLY until October 11!⁠
⁠
PARADISE LOST brings together the work of Laura St. Pierre and Jazz Keillor, two artists exploring ecological crisis, hybridity and the shifting boundaries between human and non-human life.⁠
⁠
St. Pierre’s lens-based works and installations imagine post-apocalyptic systems, while Keillor’s bird’s-eye landscapes place trees at the centre of the frame, giving them a leading role in what appears to be an ongoing process of recovery.⁠
⁠
Together, their works challenge familiar ideas about hierarchy in the natural world and invite us to imagine landscapes where plants, animals and minerals are not secondary—but central.⁠

On view at VISUALSPACE Gallery (@visualspacegallery) in Vancouver from October 1–14,  PORTRAITS—THE ANCIENT ONES: DAVID A. HAUGHTON⁠
⁠
David A. Haughton turns his attention to towering old-growth cedars, creating intimate portraits of individual trees rather than traditional landscape paintings.⁠
⁠
Rendered in acrylic on multimedia art board, Haughton’s ancient cedars appear to swoop, sway, and vibrate with a quiet intensity. Greens and browns give way to unexpected pinks and turquoises, while expressive backgrounds echo the movement of trunks, branches, and the living energy of these remarkable trees.⁠
⁠
Inspired by the Renaissance portraits of Lucas Cranach the Elder, Haughton approaches each tree as an individual presence—celebrating the character, resilience, and enduring beauty of ancient red and yellow cedars.⁠

OPERA OBSCURA: MARY KAVANAGH features two thousand books. Individually hand-inked. Transformed into a monumental installation. ⁠
⁠
For the past 30 years, multimedia artist Mary Kavanagh has explored the impact of human behaviour on the natural landscape, addressing subjects including industrial extraction, militarism and nuclear colonialism. Her latest project takes a different, but no less rigorous, approach.⁠
⁠
For this exhibition, Kavanagh took possession of approximately 2,000 recently deaccessioned books from the University of Lethbridge Library. Each book was individually hand-inked and arranged into a dense grid across the gallery floor. Despite their blackened surfaces, traces of their former lives remain visible: gilded titles, embossed covers, library markings and signs of wear.⁠
⁠
Accompanied by photographs of individual books, the installation becomes a meditation on memory, knowledge and the slow erosion of the material record.⁠
⁠
See the show until Oct 7 at the Vernon Public Art Gallery (@vernonpublicartgallery).⁠

See it before it's gone! Sept 28 is the last day to view COMMON CHORDS: ART BY PAULINA CONSTANCIA at The Gallery at Queen’s Park (@thegalleryqp), New Westminster, BC.⁠
⁠
What does music mean to the way we connect with one another? Filipino-Canadian artist Paulina Constancia brings together nearly three decades of music-inspired work—including paintings, trapuntos, textile collages, and textile-inspired pieces—to explore music as a universal language of connection, joy, celebration, and community.⁠
⁠
The exhibition reflects on the ways music becomes part of everyday life: marking important moments, strengthening relationships, and reminding us of the experiences we share. Constancia’s vibrant, naïf-inspired work celebrates the quiet poetry of these everyday connections.⁠
⁠
Visitors can also contribute to OUR SHARED SONG, an interactive installation where participants create an illustrated musical note representing what keeps their spirit alive. As the exhibition continues, these contributions will come together as a growing collective artwork.⁠
⁠
Presented by Arts New West in collaboration with the Filipino Music and Art Foundation in BC, COMMON CHORDS also celebrates the enduring contributions of Filipino communities and the ways music, art, and creativity build connections across cultures.⁠

GREG GIRARD⁠
⁠
This long-awaited survey of photographer Greg Girard brings together images captured between 1972 and 2026, tracing a career shaped by Vancouver, Asia and the rapidly changing urban environments he has spent decades observing.⁠
⁠
Born in Vancouver, Girard began photographing as a teenager, roaming between downtown Vancouver and Mission Raceway Park with his camera. His travels eventually took him to Thailand and Japan, where he began working in colour and at night—qualities that would become central to his distinctive photographic language.⁠
⁠
From Vancouver’s transformation from resource port to international city to the accelerated and often dramatic growth of Asian cities, this exhibition follows Girard’s evolving eye across more than five decades of photography.⁠

As the title suggests, the exhibition focuses on interiors, ranging from public spaces to intimate private rooms. Wall’s cinematic process often involves combining multiple photographs digitally to construct a single image, creating scenes that appear familiar while resisting simple interpretation.⁠

BÁRBARA WAGNER & BENJAMIN DE BURCA: SWINGUERRA⁠
⁠
Music, movement, community and resistance take centre stage.⁠
⁠
Brazilian artists Bárbara Wagner and Benjamin de Burca have collaborated since 2011, creating “documentary musicals” that bring together fiction, documentary and ethnography. Commissioned for the 2019 Venice Biennale, SWINGUERRA is an immersive film featuring marginalized, queer Afro-Brazilian communities in Recife.⁠
⁠
Through high-energy dance forms including swingueira and brega funk, the performers transform movement into a powerful expression of identity, creativity and political agency. The work demonstrates how music and dance can carry histories of resistance while creating spaces for community and self-expression.⁠

TAKAO TANABE 100: INSIDE PASSAGE⁠
📍 Audain Art Museum (@audainartmuseum), Whistler⁠
 📅 To October 19⁠
⁠
A century of life. A remarkable career. More than 50 paintings. ⁠
⁠
As celebrated artist Takao Tanabe turns 100 on September 16, the Audain Art Museum presents TAKAO TANABE 100: INSIDE PASSAGE, an exhibition offering a wide-ranging look at his extraordinary artistic journey.⁠
⁠
Born in Prince Rupert and raised in British Columbia, Tanabe's life and career have taken him from wartime internment in the Kootenays to art schools in Winnipeg and New York, and eventually back to Vancouver. Over the decades, his practice has moved through realism and abstraction before arriving at the subdued, minimalist and often unpopulated landscapes for which he is best known today.⁠
⁠
This exhibition offers an opportunity to experience the breadth of Tanabe’s work while celebrating one of BC's most significant painters.⁠

Wood, rope, pulleys, counterweights and ceramics come together in David Hytone’s latest body of work at the Tacoma Art Museum.⁠

THE LEE SHORE marks Hytone’s solo museum debut as the next Project NW artist at TAM. Expanding on his recent tchotchke series, the artist considers the normalization of the tragic and the absurd through an installation anchored by a large multi-panel painting.⁠
⁠
Hytone’s use of mechanical structures and everyday materials creates an environment where the familiar becomes strange, asking viewers to reconsider how we process—and become accustomed to—things that might otherwise seem impossible or absurd.⁠

Curated by Tak Pham, BOOKENDS celebrates the Alberta University of the Arts’ centennial with a major exhibition by one of its internationally recognized alumnae. Raised in Central Alberta before moving to New York, Cameron-Weir’s work explores the intersections of nature, machinery and the systems humans create to survive.⁠
⁠
Known for combining handcrafted metalwork and leather tooling with found objects, glass, stone and ephemeral materials including flame, scent and neon light, her sculptures create worlds that are both meticulously engineered and difficult to categorize. ⁠
⁠
BOOKENDS marks the artist’s first solo exhibition in Canada in more than a decade—and a significant homecoming for an artist whose work continues to move between counterculture, popular iconography and apocalyptic imagination.⁠

Bears, elk and wolves appear at the threshold of highways and their natural habitats—brief moments before they retreat back into the forest.⁠

Walrod combines painting, collage and digital technologies to create richly layered, tactile compositions. Drawing from art history, popular culture and her own photographs, she builds images that reflect the fleeting and sometimes uneasy ways we encounter nature.⁠
