Art Gym Exhibition Travels
to Colorado
Excerpt from an article by Edie Adelstein in The Colorado Springs Independent, October 1, 2009.
Printmaking, despite its association with heavy presses, frightening acid washes and unforgiving etchings on plates, is a surprisingly flexible medium.
From lithographs (which apply greasy crayons to stone) to aquatints (ink to copper or zinc plates) to multiple print processes combined, an artist can achieve almost any effect through printing.
Women's Work: Contemporary Women Printmakers from the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and his Family Foundation, a showcase of 56 prints completed by modern and contemporary women artists from the past 35 years, proves as much. Its prints emulate Renaissance paintings, political posters and even surreal collage, to name a few.
That it allows for such experimentation is the beauty of printmaking, says Jessica Hunter Larsen, curator at Colorado College's I.D.E.A. Space, which opens the show this coming week.
The show, curated by directors at the Art Gym at Marylhurst University and the Hallie Ford Museum of Art at Willamette University, in Salem, Ore., has been to five institutions before CC.
Refreshingly, Women's Work has less to do with women as artists and more to do with the varietal nature of printmaking, executed by a conglomeration of artists who are, says Hunter Larsen, at the top of their game.
