This exhibit catches the pulse of contemporary printmaking
with its rapidly expanding digital vocabulary and intertwining of traditional
processes and postmodern approaches. Curated by USM Art Gallery Director
Carolyn Eyler, Calendar Months and Other Printed Matter features 12
artists, four from Maine and eight from across the nation. All of the
artists will produce a print in Maine. Each artist will create a digital
file for a 32” x 40” print representing one month of the
year. Hunter Editions, based in Kennebunk, Maine, will sponsor and
produce the pigmented, museum quality prints. Most of the artists are
printmaking professors from around the nation currently shaping the
future of the discipline, including: Holly Greenberg, Deb Hall, Lynne
Allen, Joel Seah, Thorsten Dennerline, Mark Franchino, Beauvais Lyons,
Derek Cracco, Laura Berman, and Slop Art collaborative Adriane Herman
and Brian Reeves. Also featured in the exhibit are Susan MacDougall
and Alex Sax.
Each artist also will contribute a selection of other printed matter
representing a variety of printmaking and interdisciplinary approaches:
prints of food with scratch and sniff ink; “found” prints
from fictional archives and menageries; printed textiles with Native
American references; linoleum prints cut from manipulated digital photographs;
free tattoos in candy jars…and more.
