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.

October 11 | Conversation with Samuel Levi Jones

October 11, 6-8pm

As part of Edge of Visibility, Randy Cohen interviewed Edge of Visibility exhibiting artist Samuel Levi Jones (American, b. 1978). Samuel Levi Jones is inspired by questions of authority, representation, and recorded history. His artistic practice centers on physically and metaphorically undoing objects associated with systems of power and control. “I am ultimately thinking about information that is selectively left out,” he explains. 

Person Place Thing is an interview show based on this idea: people are particularly engaging when they speak not directly about themselves but about something they care about. Guests talk about one person, one place, and one thing that are important to them. The result? Surprising stories from great talkers.

Listen to the podcast here or download for free on iTunes.

OCTOBER 4 | OPENING RECEPTION | EDGE OF VISIBILITY

Edge of Visibility opened with an introduction from curator Susan Tallman, editor in chief of international journal and website Art in Print. The exhibition featuring art that is literally hard to see--too small, too dark, too intricate, too ephemeral--by 24 artists from the 17th century to the present. This exhibition is all about the act of looking; the artists employ a wide range of techniques, including microcalligraphy, opalesence, and watermarking, all of which ask the viewer to slow down and consider how being on the edge of visibility speaks to our understanding of the world.

On view October 4 - December 19, 2018.
