Call-For-Entries: We just want to make things.
Whitdel Arts is currently accepting printmakers’ submissions and proposals for an upcoming exhibition in Fall 2014.
Do you ever feel guilty about calling yourself a “printmaker”? Even though your work may have ventured into different directions and other media, you still find that you think like a printmaker. This exhibition aims to present work in all mediums that have been influenced by printmaking and the way in which a printmaker’s mind thinks. Printmaking has many unique features to its long history. It is very labor intensive and a somewhat tedious way to make work. It is all backwards. These techniques and the natural tendency to think in layers also manifest themselves in other objects printmakers create.
Let’s show just how important and adaptable the ideas of printmaking really are. It may at first be deceiving, as printmakers are many times associated with paper, ink and perfect registration. However, after spending time and a little bit of thinking, the ideas of printmaking will start to surface.
Sometimes as a printmaker, we just want to make things.
This exhibition will be held at Whitdel Arts in September & October, in conjunction with Print City 2014, the Mid-America Print Council Conference hosted by Wayne State University.
Exhibition dates: September 12 - October 18, 2014 Reception: Friday, September 26th, 7-10pm
Juror: Matthew Hunt
Matthew Hunt is an artist working and living in Hamtramck, MI. He studied printmaking during his undergraduate studies at Sonoma State University in California. Currently, Matthew is an M.F.A. candidate at Wayne State University, where he has taught both two-dimensional design and intaglio. Recently, he has been awarded a Graduate Research Assistant fellowship, for which he will be assisting artists and Professor Derek Coté with research in Alaska. In addition to printmaking, Matthew also works in sculpture, performance art and lately, he has been casting bronze and iron.
