ANNOUNCING OUR 2021 KEYNOTE SPEAKER, ALTHEA MURPHY-PRICE

@speckx 🔎 Seeking Panelists for MakeReady! 🔎 In Daniel Buren’s (1971) essay, The Function of the Studio, he posits the following: “Analysis of the art system must inevitably be carried on in terms of the studio, as the unique space of production and the museum as a unique space of exposition. Both must be investigated as customs, ossifying customs of art. What is the function of the studio?” Due to the health concerns resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic, printmaking practices for Artist/ Researcher/ Teacher necessitated transitions from the studio's conventional notions into new arenas and formats.

This panel will explore diverse conceptualizations of post-studio printmaking as the Covid-19 shift has ushered forth opportunities for new adaptations, whether that be into traditional print practices, exhibition formats, community organization, the sharing of resources, or teaching methods. The artists, researchers, educators, and printmakers on this panel explore conceptual spaces opened up by these new problems to transform how we see and shape our worlds.

Re-posted • @sarahkirkhanley For International Women's Day, I call attention to the work of Belkis Ayón, an extraordinarily talented Cuban printmaker whose powerful and revolutionary work remains relatively unknown. Pictured is “Pa’ que me quieras por sempre (To Make You Love Me Forever),” 1991, a monumental collagraph installation first exhibited at the 16th Venice Biennale (shown here as installed @elmuseo in 2017 where it changed my world). Take some time to indulge yourself in an online 3D tour of her retrospective currently on view at The Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at the University of Oregon (text in English/Spanish)—or buy the catalogue—visit their website for more info @jsmauo #blackwomenprintmakers #internationalwomenday2021 #printmaking #collagraphprint #collagraph #jordanschnitzermuseumofart #belkisayón ...
