Mobile Event
Print Collage Mural Project
Organizers: K (Kathleen) Stevenson, Andrew Rice, and Maria del Mar Gonzalez-Gonzalez
The Print Collage Mural will be a collaborative, out-door public art ‘print-collage’ mural. Comprised of several dozen prints it will be installed using the sustainable wheat-past method, simplifying the installation. The actual installation will promote a community ‘ice-breaker’ welcome-party atmosphere, creating an opportunity to ‘front-load’ and ignite professional and personal connections and friendships for the duration of the conference.
Join us in a collaborative, public-art installation of several hundred prints and its festive, community-wide ‘welcome & print installation party’.
Any & all artists are welcome to participate in the print submission process; but due to space limitations, registration will be required using a “first come, first serve” process for the first three hundred (300) or so artists/printmakers/’ink-slingers.’ Schools, institutions, and similar programs, may register under a group name, accompanied by the total number of participants. Local and regional collaboration throughout the Caribbean is warmly encouraged.
We also invite all conference attendees, collaborators, local artists, and community members to join us for a Welcome & Installation Party where you can assist with the (simple) ‘wheat paste’ installation process, if you wish. You need not have submitted a print nor assist in the actual installation to attend. Just drop by and join the fun!! Come and ‘break-the-ice,’ meet new friends, colleagues, and artists, while enjoying local eats and treats. Exact time and location TBD, and will be widely announced and posted.
Print THEME:
IMPRINT: ABOVE & BELOW, WITHIN & WITHOUT
This print theme explores a more nuanced translation of ’Grabando,’ (i.e., printmaking): “something that physically affects the surface of something else.” Images can express/interpret various aspects of the ‘Imprint’ theme, anything from physical to cultural, and beyond.
Print SPECS:
Paper size: 10” x 10” square
Image size: Any, though ‘bleed prints’ are encouraged
Color(s): Black & white, with up to two (2) additional colors
Inks: Archival; as the prints will be installed with wheat paste and water
Paper: Lighter weight papers, such as: kozo; masa; kitakata; sumi; awagami; light-weight BFK, etc. work best for “wheat paste” installation. (Please avoid very thick paper, such as heavy weight Rives BFK, etc.)
Processes: All print processes- traditional, non-tradition, and hybrids are welcome
NOTE: Due to the installation (and de-installation) process prints cannot be returned.
To Participate:
Email your participation intent, including your name, (or institution/program title), your best contact email, (and affiliation, if applicable, + number) to either: Andrew Rice andrewrice2@weber.edu or K Stevenson kstevenson1@weber.edu
Please use ‘SGCI Public Art Mural Registration’ in the subject line.
Applicants need to be members at a Friend Membership ($5 yr.) or above to apply and participate.
Perspectiva es 20/20 (Hindsight is 20/20)
Organizer: Renee Covalucci
Let’s walk into the future knowing our past…with hindsight.”
Perspectiva es 20/20 (Hindsight is 20/20) is a portfolio of 20 prints made by students from Puerto Rico and New England programs. All prints will be donated by their makers and sold for $20 each to raise money for printmaking in Puerto Rico. Represent your school! Seeking 5-10 students and former students from Puerto Rican institutions to create 5 prints (minimum) to contribute to this portfolio-sale. Prints do not have to match. Proceeds will be shared among the schools represented by participants. Onsite at SGCI, we will rely on the Puerto Rican participants to take shifts at the sales tables alongside The Boston Printmakers.
Those interested in presenting on this panel should submit the following by September 15: 2-3 sample images to renee@bostonprintmakers.org
