This biennial juried international print exhibition is back after a COVID pause and is apparently more popular than ever as we were inundated with submissions. Printmakers from a total of 13 different countries, 6 of the 9 Canadian provinces, and 46 states in the US (plus Washington DC) applied to participate in this exhibition. Invited juror William Villalongo was given the formidable task of sifting through 600+ distinct images to select approximately 60 for inclusion.
On View: September 30th - October 29th, 2022
The work that William selected showcases outstanding examples of contemporary printmaking and truly celebrates the breadth of the medium with everything from the traditional/old school to novel approaches that incorporate post-digital techniques. Scale, subject matter, and technique vary but all included work is Stand Out worthy.
About the Juror: William Villalongo lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. He was born in 1975 in Hollywood, FL, and raised in the town of Bridgeton, NJ. He received his BFA from The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art and his MFA from Tyler School of Art at Temple University. Villalongo's creative output involves studio practice, writing, and curatorial projects. His figurative paintings on paper and sculptures are concerned with representing the Black subject against notions of race and explore metaphors for mythology, way-finding, and liberation. Critically acclaimed curatorial projects such as American Beauty at Susan Inglett Gallery in 2013 and Black Pulp! Touring nationally between 2016-2018 explores the intersections of politics, history, and art. Villalongo is the recipient of the prestigious Louis Comfort Tiffany Award and the Joan Mitchell Foundation Painters & Sculptor's Grant.
