The =91metaphorest=92 is a word found in the title for Glenn Lewis=92 s Burnaby
Art Gallery=92s 1993 retrospective catalogue of his work at The Western Front.
I=92ve stumbled over the full title a few times, =91Utopiary, Metaphorest and
Bewilderness=92, a few times now.

What do you want it to mean? I think we should use it for the idea of
transcendent meaning, plane of transcendence. When I've read the catalogue
I=92ll tell you what they think it means.

Burnaby is in Super Natural British Columbia, home of the 2010 Winter
Olympic Games.
Rimini is on the North East Coast of Italy, I believe.
Rapallo is on the West North coast of Italy.

Chris.


Glenn Lewis, a founding director of the Western Front, was born in
Chemainus, British Columbia in 1935. He studied at the Vancouver School of
Art from 1954-1958, the University of British Columbia in1958-1959, and with
potter Bernard Leach in England between 1961-1963. While teaching ceramics
and art-teaching methodology at UBC he began to exhibit ceramic sculpture,
in 1965. From 1968-1972 he was active in the New Era Social Club,
Intermedia, and the New York Corres Sponge Dance School of Vancouver. He
perfored Canadian Pacific and Forest Industry in 1969-1970 and began to work
in video in 1972. He completed several public art commissions throughout the
1970s and produced the Living Art Performance Festival with Paul Wong and
Kim Tomczak in 1979. In the 1980s he continued to conduct research on
gardens in Japan and Europe while curating, performing and exhibiting
internationally. From 1987 to 1990 he served as the Head of the Media Arts
Section of the Canada Council for the Arts. For a detailed biography see the
catalogue Utopiary, Metaphorest and Bewilderness: Works from 1967-1993
(Burnaby Art Gallery, 1993).

DearChris
What is the metaphorest? Is it full of dandelions and
kids kissing under it? I have been in one of those
places once and I got crucified by an old woman who
said she was Virgin. Is it near SanGiminiano. Lucca is
very old city. Have you seen the tower in Pisa? Do you
know Leonardo DaVincci. I adore Rennaissance painters,
and also Raphael, Nietzsche bytheway liked Rapphael.
There is an expo in Louvres which could interest you.
The other town, Rapallo sounds Italian, but i am not
sure if it's near Rimini. Please don't talk about
food, I have just eaten Crisps. LOL
