Tania Willard: Claiming Space Essays by Chris Bose and Jordan Strom Foreword by Beverley Clayton Curator’s Statement by Annette Hurtig The catalogue accompanying Tania Willard’s exhibition features full-colour reproductions of her works in the exhibition, including sculptures, paintings, large-scale graphite drawings and panoramic ochre murals. Willard’s work explores sense of place in relation to her Secwepemc roots. She draws from storytelling traditions referencing landforms, petroglyphs and tree stands found in Secwepemc lands. Willard utilizes materials from the region—for example, applying red ochre directly to the gallery walls—as a way of reclaiming space within the gallery. She takes an activist approach in her various creative practices, blending elements of traditional First Nations art with contemporary culture. Artist Chris Bose writes an insightful essay describing the artist’s exploration of Secwepemc culture within the context of contemporary life. Jordan Strom’s essay provides in depth background to the works in the exhibition. Full colour, 64pp, $14.99 Kamloops Art Gallery, 2009. ISBN 978-1-895497-78-6

 

Diyan Achjadi and Brendan Tang: Sugar Bombs Essay by Kristen Lambertson Foreword by  Beverley Clayton and Vincent J. Varga The catalogue accompanying Diyan Achjadi and Brendan Tang’s exhibition features full colour reproductions of both artists’ works. Tang’s finely crafted ceramics fuse robotic forms from Japanese manga with the ceramic traditions of Ming Dynasty China and gilded French vases. They are beautifully decorated objects transformed into tools of voice and power. Achjadi’s inkjet prints have a playful cartoon look, but speak of the role of militarism and war in nationalist propaganda and popular culture. Both artists borrow from globalized culture and reflect its hybridity in contemporary society. Guest curator, Kristen Lambertson writes an insightful essay, describing the artists’ exploration of culture, race, and gender and the construction of collective and personal identity.

Isao Sanami/Morrill: Real Life and Landscapes Essays by Jen Budney and Ross Nelson Foreword by Beverley Clayton The catalogue for Isao Sanami/Morrill’s exhibition Real Life and Landscapes features landscapes and domestic scenes in watercolour, pastel and charcoal. Sanami/Morrill’s landscapes examine how humans claim space and mark territory on the natural surroundings in the Interior of British Columba. Power lines, mines and urban sprawl are the central focus of these works, while her still lifes are intimate scenes of domestic objects around the home. Her works bring together the influence of traditional Japanese brushwork and western watercolour technique. Jen Budney writes of Sanami/Morrill’s early studies in ceramics in her native Japan, and of how the artist made her way to Nova Scotia, Africa, and the B.C. interior, picking up a painter’s brush along the way. Having settled in Armstrong and Coldstream, B.C. in the mid 1980s, Sanami/Morrill recently returned to Nova Scotia. Thompson River University geography professor and Faculty of Arts Academic Director Ross Nelson writes an insightful essay investigating land use and urban development in British Columbia.

Gary Pearson: The End Is My Beginning Essay by David Bateman Foreword and Interview by Jen Budney The catalogue for Gary Pearson’s The End Is My Beginning exhibition features old and new paintings and new videos that examine the light and dark sides of human existence. The paintings are lush and have a subdued palette with surprising splashes of colour. Scenes and images repeat in a series of seemingly stalled narratives. In his interview with exhibition curator, Jen Budney, Pearson describes his scenes as “episodes that give you nothing conclusive,” likening these frozen moments to drawn out cinematic shots of Wim Wenders, Ingmar Bergman, and Andy Warhol. Poet, performance artist, and former Thompson Rivers University instructor David Bateman writes an informative essay describing Pearson’s work as “a layered expression of both formal and emotional meanings that send significant mixed messages to his viewer.” Full colour, 48pp, $14.99 Kamloops Art Gallery (2008) ISBN 978-1-895497-71-7

 

Rhonda Weppler and Trevor Mahovsky Essay by Susan Buis Foreword and Interview by Jen Budney The catalogue accompanying Rhonda Weppler and Trevor Mahovsky’s exhibition describes the artists’ exploration of everyday objects in their Clutter Sculptures, Hollow Casts, and Stacked Objects, and examines the collaborative working method of this Vancouver-based artist duo. In their interview with exhibition curator Jen Budney, the artists discuss the ways that people read objects without really looking at them. Kamloops-based poet Susan Buis writes an insightful two-part essay, dealing with the vehicle (represented by the Hollow Casts) as a “complex social and cultural sign,” Clutter Sculptures as the cast-offs of an affluent society, and the Stacked Objects as “indicators of symbolic systems or codes of language.” Full colour, 64pp, $14.99 Kamloops Art Gallery (2008) ISBN 978-1-895497-72-4

 

Ian McDonald: Boys and Boxes Essay by Terryl Atkins Foreword by Jan L.M. Bailey The catalogue to Ian McDonald’s exhibition Boys and Boxes features full colour reproductions of the works in McDonald’s photographic series: individual portraits of mining technicians working at Highland Valley Copper, Canada’s largest open pit copper mine located near Logan Lake, an hour’s drive southwest of Kamloops. McDonald's photographs portray the workers standing next to their toolboxes, all of which are individualized with stickers, posters, photographs, and other personal touches. Together, the portraits reveal the ways that individuals maintain their separate identities within the collective, unionized environment. Thompson Rivers University instructor Terryl Atkins contributes an insightful essay, exploring the “truth value” of documentary photography and the influence of turn-of-the-century German photographer August Sander on McDonald’s work.

Overstepped Boundaries: Powerful Statements by Aboriginal Artists in the Permanent Collection Essay by Erika Lakes, Ayla Joe, and Julienne Ignace Introduction by Jen Budney Foreword by Jann L.M. Bailey To accompany the exhibition Overstepped Boundaries: Powerful Statements by Aboriginal Artists in the Permanent Collection, Kamloops Art Gallery has produced a catalogue examining the unique curatorial process taken on by Erika Lakes, Ayla Joe and Julienne Ignace. These three young Aboriginal women, aged 16 and 17, explored the Gallery’s collection of over 250 traditional and contemporary works of art by Aboriginal artists, and learned step-by-step the process of creating an exhibition for a public gallery. The resulting exhibition, Overstepped Boundaries, includes works containing images of imposed boundaries or restraints on the lives of Aboriginal people in Canada, and art that speaks of an individual’s or community’s ability to overstep such boundaries in pursuit of equality, justice, and healing. The title also speaks to the reversal of traditional roles that took place when the Gallery opened its collection’s doors to a group of young Aboriginal women and asked them to curate a show from their own perspective. The catalogue includes full colour photographs of works in the exhibition by celebrated artists Carl Beam, Rebecca Belmore, Joane Cardinal-Schubert, Fred Johnson, Jim Logan, Mary Longman, Teresa Marshall, David Neel, Jane-Ash Poitras, and Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun.

Garrett-Petts and Rachel Nash Foreword by Jann LM Bailey What artists say or write about their own works is inherently interesting. Their words, their statements, provide us with unique insights into their practices. For working artists, the opportunity to speak and write about their art is part opportunity and part obligation. Proximities: Artists’ Statements & Their Works examines artists’ statements in terms of their aesthetic, physical, and social proximities to art and artistic practices. In their essay "Writing on the Walls," W.F. Garrett-Petts and Rachel Nash discuss how participating artists Stephan Kurr, Paula Levine, Ashok Mathur, Kristi Malakoff, Sandra Semchuk, Donald Lawrence, Jan Peacock, Brenda Pelkey, and Brigitte Radecki have responded to the topic of “artists’ statements” by working with their own earlier statement(s) in ways that document, represent, and annotate their original works, creating “new work” in the process. In addition to artists’ statements for these new works, Proximities also includes visual and verbal “Artifacts and Reflections” from each of the artists, documents that broaden our understanding and appreciation of the contexts informing the production of each work.

Rebecca Belmore: Fountain Official publication of Canada's representation at the 2005 Venice Biennale Essays by Jessica Bradley and Jolene Rickard The art of Rebecca Belmore - whether installation, video or photograph - is based in performance, a medium she sees as shared by old traditions and modern expression, at once indigenous and international. The sense of loss is always explicit and specific: lost battles, lost culture and lost language. Yet despite the difficult subject matter, her work is always infused with a sense of play and wonder. Fountain, a performance-based video installation, has been conceived specifically for the Biennale. The time is both today's industrialized landscape and another time of creation, myth and prophecy. As befits current events, we do not know whether this is a metaphor for creation or an apocalyptic vision. Rebecca Belmore is an Anishinabekwe artist working out of Vancouver. She has exhibited internationally, most notably at Santa Fe's Institute of American Indian Art, the Heard Museum and the National Gallery of Canada. She also represented Canada in a group exhibition at the 1998 Sydney Biennale. (from ABC Art Books website) Co-published by Morris and Helen Belkin Gallery and Kamloops Art Gallery (2005) ISBN 0-88865-634-3 $20.00 Can./U.S. (16 euros)

 

Urban Insights Essays by Lon Dubinsky and W.F. Garrett-Petts, Robin Laurence, and Lucy R. Lippard Foreword by Jann LM Bailey Urban Insights is the culminating exhibition of the Cultural Future of Small Cities Project, a five-year, multi-partner, Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada-funded study of how and why arts and culture flourishes in cities with populations under 100,000. Central to the project, for which the Kamloops Art Gallery was lead partner, is the concept of the “artist as researcher”. The exhibition features work – i.e. research results – by several visual and performing artists who conducted in-depth research projects involving Thompson Rivers University, other arts organizations, community groups, the Secwepemc First Nation and the public at large. The exhibition also features national and international artists whose work responded to or reflected ideas related to cities and culture, as well as displays (videos and text presentations) by other local researchers involved in the project, including geographers, early childhood educators, sociologists and representatives of local industry.

Unbidden Jin-me Yoon Essays by Susette Min and Susan Edelstein Foreword by Jann LM Bailey This exhibition catalogue of Unbidden, organized by Kamloops Art Gallery with guest curator Susan Edelstein, features essays by Edelstein and Susette Min. New video installations and photographic works by Vancouver-based multimedia artist Jin-me Yoon are documented in this full-colour publication. The title of the exhibition and this series of works refer to the involuntary surfacing to consciousness of images and memories. We have all accumulated a vast and fragmented bank of images through exposure to the media, the Internet, archival documents and Hollywood films such as Bridge on the River Kwai and Apocalypse Now. The artist stages performances that recall these images and are metaphors for the effects of war and violence that linger and haunt us. In her essay written for the Unbidden exhibition catalogue, Suzette Min says, “…Yoon attempts in Unbidden to summon a politics of empathy and community, a mutual accommodation of difference, of caring about the other and the self that cuts through the indifference and ignorance, especially in this age of global conflict.” (34-35) Kamloops Art Gallery (2004) ISBN 1-895497-58-2 $12.95 SOLD OUT

	Dream Home Renée Van Halm Essays by Sherry McKay and Lisa Robertson Foreword by Jann LM Bailey, Christina Ritchie and Marilyn Smith Van Halm creates sculptures and paints gouaches that breakdown and investigate contemporary domestic architectural obsessions. Her scale models of rooms and her evocative aerial renderings of homes illustrate how leisure, class and social standing are expressed through architecture, demonstrating, for example, that the more expensive the home, the more the design is steeped in nostalgia leaving more modest dwellings to utilize modernist notions of simplicity and utility. Essays by Roberston (author of the ongoing project Office for Soft Architecture) and McKay (professor at the UBC School of Architecture) discuss Van Halm's work as art, architecture, design and popular culture. Contemporary Art Gallery / Kamloops Art Gallery / Southern Alberta Art Gallery (2002) ISBN 0-920751-85-7 $15.00
	Gu Xiong Yellow River / Blue Culture Essays by Gu Xiong and Andrew Hunter Foreword by Jann LM Bailey Documenting their trip to China, Vancouver artist Gu Xiong and artist/curator Andrew Hunter focus on cultural hybridization. Gu Xiong draws on similarities between the rapid commercial development of cities in China and their Canadian counterparts, highlighting the commonality of those places where American corporate influence (Blue Culture) has blurred cultural borders. Hunter recounts his visit to China, noting the almost seamless insinuation of Blue Culture into everyday life. Xiong's photographs so perfectly embody this cultural cross- pollination that one has to look closely to discover if the local is the Forbidden City or in fact Montreal's Chinatown.

	Tricia Sellmer Tapestry Gardens Essay by Jacqueline Larson Preface by Susan D.

	Kyozon Essays by Kevin Ei-ichi De Forest, Monika Kin Gagnon and Prof. Yoichi Kimura Preface by Susan Edelstein Foreword by Jann L.M. Bailey Kyozon is a Japanese word meaning the "merging together of opposite things," an insightful name for this look at the work of eight contemporary Japanese artists, Taichi Ishidate, Hidehiro Kinoshita, Takao Kubo, Mariko Mori, Takashi Murakami, Rika Takahashi, Satoru Tamura, and Kaori Yamamoto. As Kimura notes, the works reflect the changes that have rocked a post-Hirohito society since the Emperor's death in 1989. De Forest provides a context for understanding contemporary Japanese art, detailing the lack of government funding and the consequent reliance on corporate entities like Sony. Gagnon's essay on video, particularly that of Mori, is especially relevant in relation to this accessibility to technology. The concepts of duality and merging inform all the essays. Influences discussed range from manga (Japanese comic strips), traditional performance art as well as George Segal and Cindy Sherman.

	Brian Wood Cribbed Essay by Lisa Robertson Foreword by Jann L.M. Bailey Using both drawing and photography, the New York-based Canadian artist creates a work steeped in duality: reality and abstraction, the conscious and the unconscious, the rational and the irrational. This collection of photo-based works from the artist and the permanent collections of the National Gallery of Canada, the Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography and the Kamloops Art Gallery provides a clear understanding of the natural progression and development of the artist's practice over the last number of years. The text, by poet/author Lisa Robertson, not only discusses Wood’s work but also interweaves a narrative. (from ABC Art Books Canada website) Kamloops Art Gallery (2001) ISBN 1-895497-47-7 $12.00
	Ed Pien Essay by Robin Laurence Foreword by Jann L.M. Bailey and Keith Wallace Ed Pien's drawings are immensely engaging because they are nourished by rich cultural traditions and because they literally pull the viewer in. References to Chinese and Italian manuscripts are striking and Pien's concern with life, death and life after death register an acute cultural hybridity. In the West we are most familiar with Dante's Inferno but the depiction of suffering and of the desire for ascendancy of the spirit is equally prevalent in Chinese Buddhist art.
