Skin and Bone: a series of new stone lithographs by John Pusateri http://www.johnpusateri.com
John Pusateri’s latest series of photographs and stone lithographs began during an awarded residency at the Black Church Print Studio in Dublin, Ireland. In each of the lithographs Pusateri has juxtaposed bird skins alongside a human skull. “In the five weeks that I was in residence, I gained access to the National Museum of Ireland’s natural history storeroom to utilise unique bird study skins”.
Pusateri’s drawings and prints tap into the artistic tradition of memento mori, a practice dating back to antiquity wherein artists include imagery designed to remind the viewer of their mortality and of the transience and fragility of human life. -Seed Gallery (http://www.seedgallery.co.nz)
7th BIEC: work in progress
At the closing of its entry call, the Biennale internationale d’estampe contemporaine de Trois-Rivières (Québec, Canada) had received 375 dossiers from 46 countries, including 60 artists from USA and 40 from Canada. The selection jury was held recently during three days, and its task was not easy as it had to retain only about 50 dossiers. The jury as well as the BIEC’s organisers have noted the ever-increasing quality of the works submitted, which is of course exciting! The final selection will be announced in the following weeks by way of personal letter to each applicant.
Thank you to all the participants to our artprint contest exhibition, and see you in June 2011 in Trois-Rivières!

CAA/SGCI PANEL 2012
COACTION – Innovative printmaking collaborations
Historically, printmakers are artists who enjoy the sense of community that a printshop creates by sharing their images, ideas and techniques with all. They are also able to produce multiples, thus increasing their reach to individuals outside their immediate community in the practice of exchanging prints. The use of the multiple, the shared history of fine art printmaking with commercial graphics, and the need for printmakers to share equipment and expertise has encouraged the propagation of community print projects- many that have redefined the role of printmaking as a vehicle for social innovation. This panel focuses on printmaking collaborations that extend beyond the traditional print exchange or work that is done in the printshop, hence examining partnerships between printmakers and the communities they live in; the impact that collaborations have in these communities and the innovations in printmaking that have resulted.
The SGCI/CAA liaison committee invites proposals from artists, curators, and historians who have participated in or have written about innovative community print projects that contribute to social change, the environment, communications and technology.
Please include in your proposals:
A one-page abstract
1-4 jpegs of referenced images (please, no more than 1.5 mb each)
Short cv
Deadline: May 1, 2011
Please email proposals to Candace Nicol candace@oxbowpress.org

Dear friends,
It is with heartfelt regret that I inform you of the passing of Joseph D. Geiger. Below is a copy of his obituary forwarded to me by his daughter.
Joseph D. Geiger, of Dade City, Florida, died on January 7, 2011 at the age of 75.
Joe Geiger was born on July 23, 1935 in Dade City, Florida and was an accomplished painter, printmaker and illustrator with representation in more than 100 national and international public and private collections.
Joe was a veteran of the United States Army with a tour of duty in Germany during the building of the Berlin Wall. He served the Army as both an illustrator and a demolitions specialist. Joe earned both a Bachelor of Design from University of Florida and a Master of Fine Arts from University of South Florida. His illustrious career as an artist and teacher began in 1962. He retired from Saint Leo College in 1995 and then served as adjunct art professor for Florida Southern College, guest lecturer and judge for local
colleges, schools and art organizations. His students remember him as a gifted and inspiring teacher. As an artist he is best known for his intaglio etchings, human figure work and color-drenched landscapes in watercolor.
He was an ardent adventure traveler, with wide-ranging goals and interests. Closer to home he enjoyed spending time with family and friends and taking his dog for long walks. He will be remembered by many in the local community and elsewhere as a strong, generous, and loving man.
Joe is survived by Llona Geiger, his wife of almost 50 years; their children Norman Geiger and Kaarla Geiger McKenzie (and husband Kerry); his granddaughter Devan Alanna McKenzie; and siblings Virginia Geiger, John Geiger (and wife Liz) and Jim Geiger (and wife Sharon).
A memorial service and celebration of his life and work will be held at 2 pm, January 15, 2011, at the Uptown Artists’ Gallery, 14449 7th Street, Dade City, FL. In lieu of flowers, donations in his name may be made to HPH Hospice (12107 Majestic Blvd., Hudson, FL 34667) or Uptown Artists’ Gallery.

Crystal Wagner’s solo exhibition, “Bio-Dome” will be on exhibit in the Goldring Riverview Gallery at the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts as a part of “Navigating Currents”, the Southern Graphics Council’s International Conference in New Orleans in 2012. Exhibition opens March 14th, 2012.
Mylène Gervais is based in Trois-Rivières, Québec, but has taken part in solo and group exhibitions all over Canada and the world. This socially engaged artist has spread her artistic message to Belgium, Belgrade, France, Argentina, Brazil, Mexique, Cuba and more. Mylène Gervais has an impressive resumé: in addition to receiving numerous prestigious art prizes and being the subject of many articles and catalogues about her work, she is also a teacher in printmaking at Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières. She is the president of the printmaking association Presse Papier.
Mylène choose such a heavy subject, she has always been engaged by socially sensitive issues such as war atrocities, incest, suicide and sexual abuse. Her aim is to explore and expose subjects that society would rather not face, and through her art, make us aware of and sensitive to injustices everywhere. If the prints were only about ugliness and horror they would defeat the purpose. By making beautiful images about awful events, the viewer is encouraged to look more closely and contemplate more deeply.
Valérie Guimond’s work focuses on discomfort, denial and suffering. The human condition is ravaged by the force of gravity, which brings about a simultaneous attraction and repulsion for any viewer looking at a depiction of the body.
We survive, disfigured by absence, falling and grabbing at any shred of eloquence.
After completing a bachelor of fine arts at the University of Quebec at Trois-Rivières, Valerie Guimond was introduced to stone lithography and etching at the workshop Presse Papier, where she is a member in 2002. Since 2006, she’s responsible of the etchnig’s and screen printing’s workshop at the University of Québec at Trois-Rivières in Canada. In 2004 and 2006, she lived in Brazil where she practices the woodcut and lectures at the workshop Piratininga of Sao Paulo. In 2011, she gives a conference on his work in Mexico. It also exposes the cultural center Jaime Sabines and gives one of collagraphy workshop at the Universidad de las Ciencas y artes of Chiapas in Tuxtla Gittuiérez, Mexico. We have seen the work of Valerie Guimond in a few exhibitions in Quebec, Brazil, China, Serbia, Denmark and Mexico and in several international collective manifestations.
The Valérie Guimond’s last exhibition is an installation of prints and sculptures at the Presse Papier’s galery.
Some of her work can be viewed on her website: http://www.valerieguimond.blogspot.com/

TRADITIONAL AND NEW; A Print Exchange between Sichuan Normal University and George Mason University School of Art
George Mason University’s School of Art was pleased to collaborate with Sichuan Normal University in China on an exchange of student and faculty works from each university that were selected to be exhibited at both universities. “Traditional and New: A Print Exchange Between Sichuan Normal University and George Mason University School of Art” was on exhibit from October 19 to November 16, 2011 in the Fine Art Gallery in the School of Art & Design Building on Mason’s Fairfax Campus.
The exhibition was organized by Helen Frederick, professor in Mason’s School of Art and coordinator of its printmaking program; Shanshan Cui, assistant professor in Mason’s School of Art; and Shilou Xiang and Youli Zhang, professors at Sichuan Normal University. Xiang and Zhang visited Mason’s Fairfax Campus in October 2011, and Frederick visited Sichuan, China in December 2011.
“The print exchange between the universities showcases the strengths of craftsmanship, different thematic interests and cultural awareness of all of the participating students and artists,” Frederick said. “These differences will be enjoyed by both cultures and will certainly bring forth interesting discussions with the student population and public audiences who attend the exhibitions at both universities.”

It includes a brief overview of its history, beginning with the famous Edo period ukiyo-e prints, through the eclipse of the technique during the 20th century, and to the current renewal of interest in the technique for creative artists.
