“Multiple Ones: Contemporary Perspectives in Printmedia”
Thursday, Aug. 22, through Wednesday, Oct. 23
Kwan Fong Gallery of Art and Culture and William Rolland Gallery of Fine Art
Printmaking as a medium has for centuries been associated with the making of flat, editioned images — mostly on paper. The 20 contemporary printmakers in this exhibition have removed the artificial boundaries around printmaking. They have created works on everything from porcelain and recycled wood to melting ice. Each piece has been manipulated — cut, folded, burned, fired, mounted, recorded or pasted. They live in the toxic residue left by the contaminated water of Flint, Michigan, and are even inked onto good old fashioned paper — only sideways, on the paper’s less-than-one-millimeter-thick edge. They are built like a puzzle or planted as a garden. Some are architectural; others are biological.
The featured artists are Justin Barfield, Shawn Bitters, Vanessa B. Cruz, Florence Gidez, Rebecca Gilbert, Ruthann Godollei, Sheila Goloborotko, Brandie Grogan, John Hitchcock, Andrew Kozlowski, Lauren Kussro, Nathan Meltz, Guen Montgomery, Jill Parisi, Andrew Raftery, Samantha Parker Salazar, Marliee Salvator, Mizin Shin, Swoon and Eszter Sziksz. Goloborotko curated the exhibit, which was made possible by the generous contributions of the Janet Dibble Revocable Living Trust.
