December 4 | Microcalligraphy Through History: Johann Michael Püchler, Levi David van Gelder, and Matthew Kenyon

For the final public program for Edge of Visibility, we hosted a gallery talk with Freyda Spira, Associate Curator, Drawings and Prints, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, David Wachtel, independent scholar, and artist Matthew Kenyon. They discussed the history of microcalligraphy through the work of Johann Michael Püchler, Levi David van Gelder, and Kenyon’s Notepad (2007), all featured in the exhibition.

A Jewish tradition that dates back to the 9th century, microcalligraphy is the use of tiny lettering to form larger pictures. Püchler and van Gelder are among the historical figures that laid the framework for this technique to reemerge in contemporary art. The microscopic names and death dates of Iraqi civilians are covertly embedded in the lines of Kenyon's seemingly blank yellow notepads, inserting the memory of deaths that have never been fully acknowledged into civic space.

November 1 | Publishing on the Edge: Making the Invisible Visible

As part of Edge of Visibility, we hosted a conversation that focused on the collaborative relationship between artist and master printer with Jacob Samuel (Edition Jacob Samuel, Santa Monica, CA) who spoke on Walid Raad, Greg Burnet (Burnet Editions, NY) on Glenn Ligon, and Craig Zammiello (Two Palms, NY) on Chris Ofili.

From Jacob’s “hardcore extreme etching”, to Craig’s musings on the collaborative environment at Two Palms, to their mutual love of Robert Ryman, this talk uncovered unique pieces of their technical and creative process, along with the ways they admired and understood each other’s work.
