Island Press: Three Decades of Printmaking surveys the work of Washington University’s Island Press from its beginnings as a traditional press shop in 1978, producing high quality artist editions in standard formats, to the uniquely collaborative and educational enterprise that exists today. Island Press artists engage with a variety of materials and approaches, from more traditional printmaking techniques such as lithography, etching, and monotype, to more technically innovative procedures such as collagraph, to more conceptual processes that integrate mixed media, photography, and appropriated or found objects. Curated by assistant curator Karen K. Butler, this exhibition will remain on view from January 28 to April 18, 2011.
Support for Island Press: Three Decades of Printmaking is provided by Bunny and Charles Burson, Washington University’s Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts, and members of the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum.
