International
Print Center New York announces the eighth exhibition of its New
Prints Program from Thursday, May 8th through Tuesday, June 10th
in its Chelsea gallery at 526 West 26th Street, 8th floor, Room
824. New Prints 2003/Spring is one of a series of juried shows
organized by IPCNY, showing current prints by both established
and emerging artists. Beginning this year, IPCNY is presenting
four New Prints exhibitions each season.
With
New Prints 2003/Spring, IPCNY continues its role as an ongoing
venue for the viewing of contemporary artists' prints and a central
source of information about artists working in the medium of printmaking.
Forty-one prints completed in the past year were selected out
of approximately 1,000 submissions, representing a wide range
of sources, many new to IPCNY. As always, the Selections Committee
chose prints of the highest quality, representing a wide variety
of styles and techniques as well as a broad diversity of sources,
geographical and otherwise. In addition to artists working independently,
works from the following presses are included: Center Street Studios,
Milton, MA; Gemini G.E.L. (at Joni Moisant Weyl, NYC); Goya Girl
Press, Baltimore, MD; Hamilton Press, Los Angeles; Shark's Ink,
Lyons, CO; and United Limited Artists Editions (ULAE) of Bay Shore,
Long Island; as well as ACS Editions, D2 Press and Harlan and
Weaver, three New York City presses.
A
number of the prints selected for New Prints 2003/Spring literally
jump off of the page, blurring the line between printmaking and
sculpture. Such notable works are Red Grooms's, Extra! Extra!
Read All About It!, an intricate three-dimensional paper diorama-like
color lithograph; Brant Schuller's Nested Towers and Rail, screenprints
on three dimensional materials (cardboard boxes and crafted wood);
and to-be-constructed prints by Jessica Frelinghuysen, Malcolm
Morley and Sara Varon.
The
Selections Committee for New Prints 2003/Spring was comprised
of: Ann Fensterstock, collector and educator; Joseph Goddu, Director,
Hirschl & Adler Galleries Inc.; Laura Steward Heon, Curator,
MASS MoCA; Faye Hirsch, writer and critic; Leonard Lehrer, Dean,
Fine and Performing Arts, Columbia College, Chicago; and Judith
Solodkin, Master Printer and Director, SOLO Impression, New York.
Sandra Lang, Director of the Visual Arts Administration M.A. Program
at N.Y.U, continues in her role as consultant to the New Prints
Program.

International
Print Center New York is a non-profit institution founded to promote
the greater appreciation and understanding of the fine art print
worldwide. Through innovative programming, it fosters a climate
for the enjoyment, examination and serious study of artists' prints-from
the old master to the contemporary. IPCNY offers its members a
program of workshop and gallery visits, and has established an
informational website. IPCNY depends upon public and private donations
to support its programs.
New
Prints 2003/Spring is funded in part with public funds from the
New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, Manhattan Arts Development
Fund; The New York State Council on the Arts; and the National
Endowment for the Arts.
