"It was quite an experience, just being there," recalls the 63-year-old Vancouver-born painter. "I would open my window at night, and I knew there was some young soldier down there, a few yards away, who had me trained in his gun sights." Even after his return to Vancouver, the image of the massive concrete barrier that divides Berlin haunted Swartz. Next October, funded by a $5,500 grant from the Canada Council, he will return to Berlin for six months to begin work on a 60-foot painting of the Wall. Swartz, a Jew, says he initially felt some aversion toward Germany because of the Holocaust. But after seeing an exhibit of contemporary German paintings at the Vancouver A rt Gallery in 1980, he felt drawn to the country.

Four years later, Swartz was invited to spend a year at an artists colony near Bremen and "fell in love with Germany," especially Berlin. For political reasons, the West German government pours money into Berlin, making it the cultural centre of Western Europe, he says. Swartz, who initially trained as an architect, has already begun sketches for his painting of the Berlin Wall, which he hopes to show in Vancouver next year.

Last year, he became th oldest Canadian ever to receive a heart transplant The Contemporary Art Gallery, 555 Hamilton St, has named Merike Talve as its new curator. Talve, with a diploma in two-dimensional studies from Emily Carr College of Art, and Design and a bachelor's degree in art history from the University of British Columbia, has previously worked for Vanguard magazine and the Surrey Art Gallery. Her reviews have appeared in Vanguard, Magazine, Parachute, Issue and, Video Guide. Bolduc's design is on a Grandview Hwy. billboard, near the corner of Kaslo.

Attention, art-loving couch potatoes. On Aug. 29 at 6:30 p.m., KCTS (Cable 9) will air a special about West Vancouver painter Daniel Izzard, titled Daniel Izzard Master Impressionist.

Izzard, 63, paints romantic, atmo-spheric landscapes that are board, accompanied by a gaggle of brightly coloredpatches and squig-gles that glow against an inky background. No, this is not an ad for an indigestion remedy. This is art by David Bolduc, brought to you by the organizers of the Calgary Olympics. Eight artists six Canadians, two New Yorkers are involved in the billboard-art project, says Karyn Allen Keenan of the Olympic Arts Festival. The work of two of them is now on view in Vancouver, but by next March, we'll have seen the products of all eight NEW IN VIDEO UFORIA.

Starring Harry Dean Stanton and Fred Ward. 1982. Mature. 92 minutes. money and pay a "coyote," a man who smuggles aliens across the border.

He hustles passers-by for a nightclub, sells fruit in the street and joins a band of Mexican musicians. He also gets thrown in jail twice, and romances a Tijuana waitress (Kamala Lopez). Billed as a comedy, Born in East L.A. is surprisingly slow-paced. Marin wants his character to be well-rounded, but at the same time he seems reluctant to lose his old fans who thrived on the tasteless humor of Cheech Chong.

One minute he's giving away his oranges to a poor family, the next he's pretending to be a blindman so he can fondle a stranger's breasts. The same man who harasses a woman on the street with lines like: "Do you give fries with those shakes?" is later giving up his $500 seat on the smug-gle-mobile to a wdman with no money. The movie has one good bit, when Rudy teaches a group of aliens how to act like L.A. street dudes (bop your head, hook your fingers in your jeans, and keep saying: "Waas sap-penin But the wagon-train pace and noo-dling screenplay make Born in East L.A. seem a lot longer than its 85 minutes.

BORN IN EAST L.A. Starring Cheech Marin and Daniel Stern. At the Granville, Dolphin, Coquitlam and Hillcrest Drive-In. Fourteen years limited admission. By MARKE ANDREWS Born in East L.A.

gets off to a confusing start. In the opening scene, garage mechanic Rudy (Cheech Marin) sits at home calling a woman Mom, although she looks his age or younger. Then he spends a good part of his morning following, in his pink VW Bug, an attractive female pedestrian. The scene, like the movie itself, appears to be building to some resolution. But, like the movie, nothing happens.

i After 15 years of playing a doped-up Mexican-American in the comedy duo Cheech Chong, Marin is on his own, trying to forge a new image. He Wrote, directed and starred in Born in East L.A., a good-hearted movie that reveals Marin as a decent actor but a poor writer. The premise is promising enough. Rudy, in the wrong place at the wrong time, gets rounded up with a group of illegal aliens and shipped off to Mexico. "I'm an American citizen!" he shouts but, having no I.D.

on him, is not allowed to return home. The only way back is to raise Never mind that the producers of Uforia couldn't spell (the word is eirforia, gentlemen); they made a marvellous movie about middle America that's irreverent as well as endearing. Stanton plays Brother Bud, a less-than-honest country preacher who cons his flock out of their pennies; Ward is Sheldon, a drifter who ends up driving stolen used cars for Bud; and Cindy Williams (Shirley of Laveme is Arlene, a supermarket cashier who has a vision about the imminent arrival of a spaceship whose mission is to whisk the faithful away. Much of Uforia is amusing, but the fun it pokes is gentle rather than vicious. And much of the photography is lovely.
