International
Print Center New York announces the tenth presentation of its
New Prints Program from Tuesday, November 4, 2003 through Tuesday,
January 6, 2004 in its gallery at 526 West 26th Street, Room 824,
in Chelsea. New Prints 2003/Autumn is one of a series of juried
exhibitions organized four times each season by IPCNY presenting
current prints by artists at all stages of their careers.
With
New Prints 2003/Autumn, IPCNY continues its rotating presentations
of contemporary artists' prints, establishing an ongoing exhibition
venue for new work and a central source of information about artists
working in the medium of printmaking. For New Prints 2003/Autumn,
the Selections Committee (which changes with each New Prints exhibition)
was comprised of the following members: Brooke Alexander, publisher;
Dudley Del Balso, artists' representative and Trustee, IPCNY;
Carin Kuoni, independent curator; Liliana Porter, artist and professor,
Queens College, New York City; Suzanne Randolph, fine art advisor;
and Joseph Ruzicka, head of the Association of Art Museum Curators,
New York City. Ms. Kuoni also contributed the curatorial essay
for the exhibition. Sandra Lang continues in her role as consultant
to the program.
Multi-faceted,
animated, and free in its exploration of various printmaking mediums,
New Prints 2003/Autumn includes a relief print Oko Ene' Ba nse
by R. G. Brown shown here assembled as a
canoe hung from the gallery ceiling; a pair of silkscreened porcelain
plates by Stephanie Dotson
whose
lithograph and silkscreen Things Willing More than Other Things
is also on view; a portfolio by Keiko Hara composed of twelve
ukiyo-e woodblock prints with stencil and collage; and a wall-sized
mixed-media piece Mythologies by Jacquie Strycker, a young San
Francisco artist.
IPCNY
received some 800 submissions for New Prints 2003/Autumn, all
released within the past year. The committee selected fifty-six
prints (including artists' books and printed objects), representing
